Nominnsed 1t Chicago-Ths Last Days
work.
The REPUBLIC went TO press Monday
without full details Of the nomination oi
General Harrison and also without the nom
nation for vice president. The following
completes the work OF the greatest political
convention ever held in this country.
The assurances which were recei-.d.
soon after the withdrawal of Allison, that
his vote would 60 to Harrison, took the last
hope from the friends of Sherman, and
Senator Quay, finding that the game was
up, told his friends TO fall in line, and as il
become known that New York would not
now, that his nomination was in sight desert
Harrison, there was no longer any doubt
Of the result and the calling of the roll be-
came q mere formality. Harrison was
nominated after the Tennessee vote had
been cast, giving him 4S1 votes. Only q
single vote stood by Sherman in Pennsyl-
vania and after that States vote the Har-
rison movement became a landslide.
The result was received with burst OF
applause and the great audience arose to
its feet and shouted until it had 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.
The ladies in the galleries waved their
handkerchiefs and their parasols Hats
was thrown up. and q scene of enthusiasm
followed. Cries of ''He's all right" were
heard IN the din. Finally, with three
cheers for Harrison, the convention be
came quiet enough TO hear the official an
nouncement Of the result
Governor Foraker then took the plat
form amid enthusiastic cheering and said .
GESTLENEN OF TER CoNyENTIoN:-The
delegation from Ohio came here all Sher-
man men; they are now all Harrison men.
lAppiausel- 1t is easy for us to do so,
when We remember that General Harrison
had the good sense TO be born in Ohio.
tLanghterl. l am directed by the unani-
nous vote of the Ohio delegation to move
the convention on hehalf of the State of
Ohio, that the nomination of Governor
Benjamin Harrison be made unanimous.
lApplausel
Mr.. Horr, of Michigan, seconded Gov
ernor Forsker's motion. He hoped the
convention would be unanimous. but we
will stand by Harrison just as firmly as we
have stood by Alger. Some people do not
think that he knew everything, but think
that can see the hand of Providence in this
nomination. We hoped to place a soldier
at the head of the ticket We have done it
now let US go home and ratify it.
Senator Fsrweil. on behalf of Illinois, al
30 seconded the motion of Governor For
aker.
Chauncey NJ. Depew also seconded Fora
ker's motion. He said that this conven-
ton would adjourn in different temper
from any other convention in quarter of
century No candidate before the con-
vention expected to succeed, and no one
was disappointed. The candidates would
go away without heart-burnings, but full
of enthusiasm as they were when they came
here. New York was the cosmopolitan
State of the union. Men of other States
when they got big for their own common
wealth. went to New York. and when New
York found man toe large for his own
commonwealth, and he would not move.
Benjamin Harrison and voted for him sol
idly. lApplause.l
In conclusion, Mr.. Depew predicted an
old time victory for the Republicans, for
Republican principles and for the salvation
OF the industrial interests of the country.
[Applause.
Mr. Bcutelle, of Maine. seconded the
motion of Mr.. Foraker. He gave assur-
ance of the heartiness, cordiality and en-
thusiasm with which the people of Maine
would rstify General Benjamin Harrison.
\ RI0Hli>cu tll1t Tie O1u WOuiO
come down from Maine as in days gone by,
when another Harrison was in the field:
s'0h, have you heard the news from Maine;
how she went hell bent for Governor Kent
and Tippacanoe and Tyler too" Zap
plsuse and laughter.l He promised his
State to the Republican party and declared
that in the forefront Of battle would be
found, cleaning; il had every critical fight
of the Republican party, the white plume
of our Henry of Navarro.
This declaration was the signal foran up
roar Of applause and cheers, which contin-
ued for some time. ~
3 When Governor Boutelle had concluded
his speech. there were calls for Creed Hay
mond, of California, and when he mounted
the platform, he was generously applauded.
He said that while his heart wss glad that
4. nomination had been reached, but before
he said anything about the candidate he
wanted to return thanks TO the ladies of
Chicago for their gifts of flowers to the Cal
iiornia delegation. There had been some
question as TO whether il would be wiser
20 nominate a soldier or a statesman.
The convention had given TO the
party q candidate who combined the
qualities of both. He did not think that
there would be much need for speech max
ing in this fight. The Democratic party
was at last making its fight under its true
colors. 1t had adopted the badge of
slavery, the red bandana. II was banner
which no virtuous woman loved and no
brave man ever fought under. The great
party of the country, which has saved the
country under the stars and stripes, would
again march to victory under the old ban
ner which was now flung 70 the breeze.
Mr. Davis, of Minnesota, in a few fiowery
remarks in behalf of Minnesota, also sec
onded the motion to make the nomination
unanimous
Gene raj Hastings, of Pennsylvania, said
that he was also authorized to second the
motion 10 make the nomination unanimous
He said they had 1O0,00o majority for any
candidate, and it has that and perhaps
more for Harrison.
Mr. Henderson, of Iowa, seconded the
motion.
The chairman then read a dispatch he had
received from General Russell A. Alger re-
questing him to convey his sincere thanks
to the delegates who had so loyalty sup
ported him and declaring that no State or
man would give the gallant General who
had won the fight more hearty support
than Michigan and himself. Hes all
right" ended the dispatch, and the Alger
men in the convention cheered loudly at
the old. weli-known refrain.
After the convention had been addressed
by Wise and Mahene. OF Virginia; Proctor,
OF Vermont; Lynch, of Mississippi; Thurs
ton, of Nebraska; Harris, of North Caro-
lima, and Williams, of Arkansas, and
Bradley, of Kentucky, all in the same
strain. the chairman put the motion Of
Governor Foraker, which was adopted
with shout and the chairman declared
Senator Harrison the unanimous nominee
of the convention and of the party for
president.
After the nomination of Harrison was
made unanimous, Mr.. Thompson, of In
diana, arose and said that he thought that
ID was desirable for the convention TO take
recess, and he therefore moved one until
s O'Clock last evening.
The chairman stated that the motion was
not seconded and directed the clerk to call
the roll of states for the presentation of
names of nominees for the vice presidency.
The clerk proceeded to cali the roll amid
much confusion occasioned by the frantic
