WHAT IT MEANS.
The nomination OF Harrison indicates
the sincerity OF Mr.. Blaine and his
friends and shows that none of the
Blaine leaders are responsible for the
time spent in reaching conclusion.
Mr.. Phelps had strong friends in the
convention, but that body exercised its
deliberate judgment and wisely gave
Morton the preference. This it was, in
great measure, induced to do by War
ner Miller, who spoke straight to the
point. His was about the only speech
OF the convention that made votes. l
have never seen nomination soreadily
acguiesccd in. There was fair fight
and no resentments remain.
OH, WEST vIRGNIA's ALL RIGHT!
Friends OF all aspirants are ratifying
and declaring that it is the happiest
possible solution OF the question. The
Gresham men were the frst to put on
Harrison badges and are hurrahing as
loud as the original Harrisonians.
Everybody goes home to work for the
winning ticket. What's the matter with
West Virginia?
THE NIGHT SESSION.
The night session opened on n vast
crowd OF enthusiastic men and women,
and Morton was in the air. There had
been serious conferences since the after
noon Adjournment and when the lead
ers OF groups sat together they found
that Morton was the favorite. Warner
Miller's speech settled it. The best
speaking of the convention was heard at
this session.
Tie convention was almost over when
a stout, crippled young man hobbled to
the front MS the original who came near
being overlooked. He gave delicious
taste OF his tarheel quality.
The biggest excitement ofthc Conven-
ton was kicked up over Boutelles tenn
perance resolution, which everybody
endorsed as soon rs anybody got Il
chance to know what it was. This reso-
luton rounds of the best platform ever
adopted by the Republican party.
WEST VIRGINIA WENT soLIDLYTo HARRISON
on the ballot which nominated him, but
her twelve votes counted for nothing
then. Shec could not see the point IN
time TO show that she knew n reai good
thing when she saw it come hard and
fast. On the first ballot OF the day the
live Sherman men got back TO their first
love, although he had no show to be
nominated. Harrison had but two
on the next ballot, WHILE Perkins,
alternate for Peterson, who bad left for
home, and Smith joined with Frew and
Hubbard to help Gresham, who was
also practically out of the race. The
delegation cast but one solid vote, and
that was on the last ballot. GoiF was
not placed in nomination for the Vice
Presidency because it was seen that the
case was closed in favor OF Morton. Hub
bard left for New England shortly before
the nomination and his place was taken
by John Cummins, his alternate. White
left tonight. The remainder OF us will
bundle up tomorrow morning and roll
into Wheeling Wednesday morning for
mn early breakfast. C.D.H.

change my humble duty, us the repre-
sentative OF the Maine delegation, by
reading to you, without preface or com,
ment, the following dispatches which
have received"
At this point the galleries broke out
into an uproar, which was, however
promptly checked BY the chairman, who
warned the audience that unless it pre-
served better order strict measures to
enforce it would be resorted to.
BLAINR's CABLEGRAMs.
Mr.. Boutelle, continuing, said, l
read to the convention for its informa'
nation as I have received them, these
dispatches:
To Bouielh aud MdHicy a. Chicago:
Earnestly request all friends to respect
my Paris letter.
[Signedl JAS. G. BLAINE.
That dispatch was received last night,
explained Boutelle. This morning l
have received the following:
81 think | have the right to nsk my
friends to respect my wishes and refrain
from voting for me. Please make this
and former dispatch public.
[Signed JAS. q. BLAINE. "
After the applause and confusion
which followed Boutelle's announce
ment had died away, the convention
proceeded to the sixth ballot. Little
excitement was occasioned by the roll
call outside OF the usual murmurs Of
applause when California again cast her
solid vote for Blaine, until Ohio was
called and Gov. Foraker announced 46
votes for Sherman. Then delegate
arose and
CHALLENGED THE CORRECTNESS
of the announcement. The chair de-
manded the name Of the delegate, and
there being some delay occasioned by
efforts of Gov. Foraker and others OF
the delegation to persuade their col
league to withdraw his challenge, the
chair stated that unless the name was
given the announcement would stand.
J. B. Luckey arose and announced his
name and insisted upon the poll. The
result OF the poll was forty-tive votes for
Sherman and Que vote for Harrison,
which was cast by Mr.. Luckey himself.
The result OF the ballot was us follows:

man who pulled out in time to attrac
attention, and possibly to get his hom'
postoflice. When Luckey challenged
the correctness of ohio's vote and de
manded it be polled, Foraker hastenet
to him and tried to argue him out OF bi
Jump to Harrison, but Luckey had
hard head and
STOOD his GROUND.
Rumor insisted that on the next bal
lot New York would go to Sherman, {
thing which she never intended to do
and could not have been induced to do
But on the next ballot New York said
Harrison with more emphasis than
before. Harrison was gaining. The
convention was about to regain the LOST
combination and open the deadlock at
last. California had come in with Il
whlrl. Pennsylvania retired quietly
without asking leave. This meant that
Sherman was to he thrown overheard by
a delegation,which had been with diff
ficulty brought to him at first and with
greater difficulty held to him. What
was Pennsylvania going to do with her
sixty votes?
TIE HARRISON BOOM
had got to going with SO lively aswing
that Pennsylvania was not needed. She
might yet on board Or be run over Us
suited her. Quay, who had made Il
botch Of everything he had touched
since the Convention met, wasn't going
to let go OF Sherman, but there were
some other leaders who stepped to the
front at this time and saved great Penn
sylvania from utter loss OF prestige. AS
Pennsylvania came back caught nod
from one OF her delegates and knew old
Pennsylvania had regained her grip.
There were efforts in all parts OF the hall
to stop the run Of the tide in the hope
that this or that aspiFant might have a
better show latter. But it was too late.
HARRISON WENT on
growing, until he was past the winning
post and the only remaining question
was one of majority. There was the
usual excitement attending such scenes,
but of much more moment was intense
satisfaction with which the result was
greeted. There were cheers and flags
and handkerchiefs, long and hearty APP
plause, but no shouting against time, no
noise-grinding machine wound up to
run Just thirty minutes by the clock; no
working OF n great American panel
game. There was lusty opening OF the
lungs and then n round OF pleased hand
shaking. Indiana had to have an extra
allowance OF time, but then Indiana
had run a long. hot race and was now
fondling the brush. C.hH.

the slightest difference. Then it was to

CHICAGO, ILL.,, June 25.-When the
convention got up for breakfast this
morning it was prepared for almost any
thing. All sorts OF rumors were soon
put into circulation by men who were
supposed to speak with authority, rs
Depew was thought to have done on
Saturday, when he predicted Blaine's
nomination on the first afternoon ballot,
a ballot which never came. The
Gresham men trotted out their dead
boom and succeeded in convincing some
sensible people that miracle had put
real life in it. The Sherman managers,
with more votes, but no more actual
life, mysteriously whispered that but
one more effort was needed to place the
standard in honest Johns hands.
Friends of Alger and Allison realized
that they were
NuRsiSd snivERED Boo%s,
though they held on hoping against
hope, Allison's people through the sev.

tingent to the finish. All the reyivals
were based on the idea that in due time,
II they tainted not, New York would
come each of their several ways. There
was contingency in which New York
would have left Harrison, but that con
tingency did not arrive. The prime
difficulty in bringing about an agree
mcnt on anybody before the convention
was the Blaine nightmare, which had
rested on the great body from the first
day. Elkins, Manley and other neal
friends OF Blaine, who had been de
nounced by Chicago newspapers as
straining every nerve to nominate
Blaine, had up to the last momen
wrestled with irreconcilable Blaine
brethren, had used every argument they
could command, including

The ballot had not proceeded far until
II became evident that Harrison would
be the nominee. First one State and
then another polled its vote for young
Tippecanoe. First came California with
her sixteen solid votes. New York and
Pennsylvania settled the business,
and the nomination was made with
great enthusiasm. Several States after
Pennsylvania cast their votes solid for
Harrison, among them West Virginia,
and the nomination was clearly evident
long before the call was completed.
The result was received with a burst
OF applause, aud the great audience arose
TO lis feet and shouted until 1t had tired
itself out. One Of the officers Of the con
yention climbed on the Chairman's desl
and waived banner bearing
THE PORTRAIT OF HARRISON.

handkerchiefs and their parasols, hat

In an incredibly short space of time
these were worn by men, women and
children in all parts OF town. Later the
same badge was printed on handsome
satin ribbon, red, blue and white, six
teen bolts OF ribbon being consumed,
and still the demand was not half sup

Another badge was equally well dis

That the interest in the convention
had almost entirely died away with the
Presidential nomination to-day was
manifested this evening by the array OF
empty seats in the galleries which pre-
viously have presented an attractive
picture OF handsome toilets and kalidia-
scopic coiors. The members OF the
various delegations were early in their
places evidently anxious to complete
their business and return to their respec.
tive homes. This afternoon Samuel
Fessenden, chairman Of the Connecticut
delegation, sent to the Republican clubs
of Connecticut the following dispatch:
