cusslon of the mighty questions that
then began to agitate the country, and
was matched against some of the most
eminent democrats.
Gallinger, New Hampshire, in second
Ing Harrison said, that after the elo-
quent words of the distinguished ex-
Governor of Indiana and others,
nominating Senator Harrison, he had
but little to say. He spoke of many
great men who came from New Hamp-
shire, and said his State was con-
tent to let her past speak
! for itself. Concluding, he said
IF we are true to the spirit that ami
mated the Republican party when it
! nominated Lincoln, we cannot fail to
achieve magnificent triumph in No
vember. Why, look at this grand party
of ours, look at its magnificent leaders,
look at the men who have carried it to
victory in past days; the party of Ere
mont, OF Lincoln, of Grant, of Sherman,
Phillips. of Garfield, and of Blaine.
At the mention of the name of Blaine
a great yell went up from
the mass of the delegates. and princi-
pally from Rhode Island, Kentucky,
Minnesota, Indiana and the Territories.
Men mounted their chairs, and with
hats and fans waved themselves into
state of furious perspiration. A large
part OF the audience Joined with the
delegates and gave the mere mentien of
Blalne's name such reception as had
not been accorded to that of any other
possible candidate. 1t was twice re-
newed and continued several minutes.
Gallinger concluded: ] say to you he re
to-day, give US that grand man
that Indiana presents. Give US

diana delegation aud the Republican
hosts, who have never finched in battle
before, will go forward with a deter

that will carry everything before them.
Tremendous applause).
| TERRELL, OF TEXAS,
in seconding Harrison, named by the
Indiana delegation as the choice of
their people as man who of all others
can absolutely carry that State in the
approaching campaign, is one whose
past career has been an honor of glory
TO the illustrious name which he bears
| (applause)-the acknowledged leader of
Indiana-he has adorned By his learn
ing and eloquence, and honored it by
its noble character. In one of the great
political questions now under discus
sion, his views are clear and compre-
| heusive, in full accord with the
principles which have been enunciated
! by this convention, strong in debate,
forcible in expression and fearless in
his convictions. (Applause). Time
and again has he demonstrated the
highest faculties of leadership,
At the conclusion of Foraker speech,
the crest demonstration of the day took
place. The scene only has been equaleG
in the history of national conventions,
probably, by the outburst following the
nomination of Cleveland by Daniel
Dougherty, of New York, at st. Louis.
In one respect it certainly surpassed
that, for it came totally unexpected.
Foraker's conclusion was somewhat
abrupt, and the cheers that followed
were from his friends and in the nature
of personal compliment. Then the
convention realized in one instant, ap-
parently, as it had never realized be-
fore, what great hold Sherman had in
the convention.
The first real scene in the convention
so far, was percipitated by the mention
of the
NAME OF BLAINE
by Gallinger, at the close of his speech.
Then alternates, and many delegates,
sprang to their feet and shouted nearly
minute. while flags waved. The DEM
onstration became, finally, really i'm
posing. There was no other second to
Harrison's nomination.
The secretary proceeded calling the
roll OF Safes. Iowa having been reached,
Hepburn, amid loud applause, placed
in nomination
SENATOR WILLIAM B. ALLISON.
Hepburn said at the entrance upon
the campaign it was a beaten party
not beaten for the want of numbers, but
for want of harmony. 1t was strong
enough to compel triumph, but lit would
require the united efforts of all to clutch
1t. He asked, if possible, to name the
candidate for whom all Republicans
would vote. If so. success was assured.
'If we fall" said Hepburn, ''to name
befors an organized appetite for spells
and its allies. The candidate TO this
must be of q spotless
DhaTacter, and with an unblemished
political record. lie must be a man in
whose armor OF integrity there Is no flaw
Dr. creVssse for the Judgement of censurs
Dr. calumny. He must be a man versed
n public business, schooled in public
service, fitted for the highest Office to
which We consecrate him by broad ex-
oerience and observation, and he must
be a man of affairs. The speaker said
The Republican party was one of deeds
IS well as doctrines, and results, no less
han lofty sentiments, and proceeded to
give glo wing eulogy upon the Repub-
ican party, and then said: Gentlemen
IF the ConYention-Iowa bids me name
20 you man in every way fit to be your
William B. Allison, of Iowa.
Of all living men, he is the one most do
aonor. Iowa asks his selection. 1t is
aid of that State that she has been
more true tosthe Republicans than any
If the others. ALT others have at some
ime wayered; Iowa never. he then
Iketched the career of Allison and gave

erms to the convention. He said he
would always be found true to the
