The Last Day.
CHICAGO, june 25.-At three minutes
past IL o'clock the convention was called
to order by Chairman Estee, who was
again in good voice. The proceedings
opened with prayer by Rev. Arthur Ed
wards of Chicago. The convention meets
with almost absolute certainty that Blaine
is entirely out of the race and all candi-
dates must combine to prevent the i'm
pending nomination of Sherman.
The assurances received soon after the
withdrawal of Allison that that states
vote would go to Harrison took the last
hope from the friends of Sherman, and
Senator Quay, finding the game up, told
his friends to fall in line, and as soon as
it became known that New York would
not, now that his nomination was in sight,
desert Harrison as long as there was any
doubt OF the result and the calling of the
roll was a nero formality, Harrison was
nominated. After Tennessee's vote had
been cast, giving him Adj votes, only a
single vote stood by Sherman in Peunsyl-
vania, and after hat states vote the Har-
rison movement became a landslide.
The result was received with g burst OF
applause and the great audience arose to
its feet and shouted until it tired itself
out. One of the officers of the convention
climbed on the chairman's desk and waved
a banner bearing the portrait of Harrison
which was thrown up and a scene of en-
thusiasm followed. Cries of Hes all
right" were heard in the din and finally
with three cheers for Harrison the CON
vention became quiet enough to hear the
official announcement of the result. Gov
ernor Foraker then took the platform
amid enthusiastic cheers and said:
Gentlemen ofMe Conuenton.: The dele
CATION from Ohio came here all Sherman
men. They are now all Harrison men
and it is easier for US to be 80 when we
remember that Gen. Harrison had the
good sense to be born in Ohio. Zap
plause. l am directed by the unanimous
vote of the Ohio delegation to move that
the nomination of Benz. Harrison be made
unanimous. [Applause.l
Horr of Michigan, Gen. Hastings on
behalf of Pennsylvania, and Senator Far
well on behalf of Illinois, seconded the
motion. Depew was called for, and said
that this convention would adjourn in a
different temper from any other conven-
ton in a quarter of acenturY. No can
didate before the convention expected to
succeed and no one was disappointed.
The candidates would go away without
heartburning, but full of enthusiasm.
Depew predicted an old time victory for
Republicanism, for Republican principles
and the salvation of the industrial inter
ests OF the country. EApplause.
Davis Of Minnesota also seconded the
motion to make the nomination unan
imous.
The chairman then read a dispatch
from Russell Alger expressing his sincere
thanks to the delegation who SO Loyalty
supported him, declaring hat no state or
man would give the gallant gentleman
who won the fight and the party more
support than Michigan and himself.
Hes all right" ended the dispatch and
the Alger men in the convention cheered
loudly at the well-known refrain.
Wise aud Malone of Virginia, Proctor
of Vermont, Lynch of Mississippi, Thurs
ton of Nebraska, Harris of North Caro-
lima, Williams of Arkansas and Bradley of
Kentucky, all spoke in the same strain.
The motion to make the nomination
unanimous was also seconded in hearty
speeches by Henderson of Iowa and Bou
telle of Maine. Boutelle promised that
the old refrain would come down from
Maine as it did in the days gone by when
another Harrison was in the field:
Oh, have you heard the news from
Maine, how she went hell bent for Gov
ernor Kent and Tippecanoe and Tyler,
too2'
The chairman then put the motion of
Governor Foraker. which was adopted
with a shout, and the chairman declared
Senator Harrison the unanimous nominee
of the convention and of the party for
president.
Morrison of Indiana moved q recess till
5 o o'clock this evening which was lost by
an overwhelming vote. The chair then
declared the regular order to be the pres
e~ntatiun of name for the vice presidential
nomination. Denny of Kentucky nom
mated VIM. r.. Bradley of that state. He
thought it about time that Southern Re.
publicans were given a show. The nom
~ination was seconded by Griffin of Kansas,
Warner of Alabama, Houk OF Tennessee,
Watt of Georgia and Atkinson of Michi-
gan. When New Jersey was called
Senator Sewell stated hat it was the in
tention of the New Jersey delegation to
present the name of William Walter
Phelps for the vice presidential nomina
ton. There will be, he said, some brief
seconding speeches, and as the members
of the convention were tired, he would
move for a recess until 6 o'clock. The
motion was agreed to and an adjournment
was taken.
