MORTON NOMINATED.
That the interests in the convention had
had almost entirely died away with the
presidential nomination to-day, was mani
tested this evening by the array of the GAL

attractive picture of handsome toilets and
Kaleidoscope colors. The members of the

order, the presentation of names for the vice
presidential nomination.

name of William Walter Phelps. He claimed
that New Jersey was as much necessary
state as Indiana. By the action of the con-
vention this afternoon the fifteen electoral

added the votes of New Jersey, the election
of the republican ticket would be certain.
Mr.. Egan, of Nebraska, earnestly Sec

Mr.. Boutelle, of Maine, paid high trib-
ute to Mr.. Phelps for his ability; his patriot
ism and his tried and proved republicanism.
William Walter Phelps could carry the ban

There being no further seconding of Mr..

convention the same pledge for every Sec

make it possible to carry New York,
(applause.) This great battle was
to be fought out in New York. The demo-
cratic party had thrown down the gage of
battle, and if the convention would help the
republicans of New York they would carry
the fight to a successful conclusion. If the
New York delegates we're refused the boon,
they would go home and do all that mortal
men could, but they would go home sick at
heart and discouraged. He appealed to the
convention to hear the voice of New
York. If the convention would name
tonight the man of their choice they would
go home, and they would inscribe upon
their banners American wages for Ameri-
American people, and protection for Ameri-
can homes" and in this sign they could not
be defeated. I'm behalf of the united delega-

Miller's nomination of Morton. He said
that the convention had been gathered, not
in the interest of any one man, but in the
interest of the party. and it was now a ques-
