Associated Press DISPATCHES to the HERALD
CmcAGo, June 25.-Ata few minutes
pist II O'Clock the Convention was
called TO order by Chairman Estee, who
had again good voice. The proceedings
opened with prayer by Rev. Arthur Ed
wards, Of Chicago. The Convention met
with the almost absolute certainty that
Blaine was entirely out Of the race, and
all the candidates must combine to pre-
vent the impending nomination Of Sher-
man.
Houston, Of Virginia, arose and said
he desired to offer resolution regulating
the order Of balloting in the Convention,
which would prohibit the casting Of any
vote for any candidate who has not been
regularly placed in nomination before the
Convention. The Chair ruled that this
could not be done, as nothing was in or
der except balloting.
BouTELLE's ANNOUNCEMENT.
Previous to the Sixth Ballot, Boutelle,
Of Maine, arose to question of privil-
ege.
Raymond, Of California, made point
OF order, that nothing was in order ex-
cept DdllOts IL tlltIt Mtlt any bpccCu-
es TO be made he wanted one for Blaine.
lApplause.l
The chair said he understood the gem
tleman from Maine desired to make the
privilege OF an announcement. and he
was given the floor. He mounted the
platform and said:
81 find myself somewhat embarrassed
in being thrown even into semblance
of antagonism to the representatives of
that delegation from the great Pacific
Coast, who have come here manifesting
such devotion to the chieftain whose BAN
ner have followed with pride and sffec-
tion these many years. Applause |
would like, were the occasion appropri-
ate, and didiI feel it proper in view of the
courtesy to which | am treated for ap-
pearance here at all, to preface the an
nouncement am about to make by some
explanatory remarks. but shall not at
tempt to do so. No one in this Conven-
ton, no one in this magnificent auditor
ium, has a doubt as to where the affec-
ton, devotion and allegiance OF Repub-
licans have been and always will be.
Applause No delegate here will doubt
the regret with which | discharge the
duty imposed upon me- but, Mr.. Presi-
dent and gentlemen of the Convention,
| am under constraint which do not
feel at liberty to ignore, and without at
tempting to give instructions or inter-
pretations in my own language of one
greater than myself by far, discharge
my duty as a representative OF the Maine
delegation by reading to you, without
preface or comment, the following dis
patches which have received"
AT this point the galleries broke into
an uproar, which was promptly checked
by the Chairman, who warned the audi
ence that unless it preserved better or
der, strict measures to enforce it would
be resorted to.
THE DISPATCHES.
Boutelle, continuing, said 81 read to
the Convention, for its information, as |
have received them, these dispatches" +"
Boutelle here read two cablegrams, the
first dated Edinburgh, June "a, to
Boutelle and Manley, at Chicago, earn
estly requesting all his friends to respect
his Paris letter and signed James G..
Blaine.
The wording Of the first dispatch was
81 earnestly request all my friends to
respect my Paris letter"
The second was dated to-day and read {:
/ think l have the right to ask my
friends to respect my wishes and refrain
from voting for me. Please make this
and the former dispatches public.
JAMES q. BLAINE.
The first dispatch was received last
night and the second this morning.
After the applause and confusion which
followed Boutelle's announcement died
away, the Convention proceeded to the
sixth ballot.
Before the sixth ballot but little ex-
citement was caused by the roll call out
side of the usual murmurs of applause.
California again cast her solid vote for
Blaine.
