doubt. He believed that eight year
ago the nomination OF Arthur had mad
victory sure because it had assured vic

place.
Mr.. Oliver, of South Carolina, alst
seconded Mr.. Morton's nomination.
Gen. Hastings, OF Pennsylvania, forci
bly seconded Mr.. Morton's nomination

that Hin ois proposed to do for the
doubtful State OF New York what she
had already done for the doubtful State
OF IndianG. Applause.
General Chalmers, Of Mississippi, gave
his political history and explained how
II was that he had left the Democratic
party, with its hide-bOund notions, to
join the party OF progress, the Republi:
can party. He was not in favor OF
selecting Southern Republican for the
second place on the ticket; that he
would be like the charge at Balklava-
it might be grand, but it would not be
politics. [ApplaUse.l Wisdom, policy
and the best interests OF the suffering
South demanded that man from New
York to stand with the man from In
diana. [Applause.l A cursory remark
which Mr.. Chalmers made, to the effect
that half OF the Mississippi delegates
was composed OF cX-Confederate soldiers
was wildly applauded.
Mr.. Treat, OF Delaware, said that the
little State Of Delaware felt proud that it
had brought its few sheaYes OF wheat
and laid them ut the feet of the distin-
guished statesman from Indiana. Now
they had heard the cry from New York
aud it had better be needed. The party
wanted to win, and it was best, now
that the convtenion had begun well that
it
SHOULD END WELL.
He seconded the nomination OF Morton.
He wantad to get Delaware out OF the
pawn shop OF salisbury and Bayard,
and the way TO do it was to nominate II
ulan sure to win in this contest.

ed the name Of WiIIiamH. Moore, Of that
State as Il nominee for the Vice Pres
idcncy.
Mr.. Speers, OF North Carolina, created
the sensation OF the evening by Il
humorous speech which was highly ap-
preciated by the audience, and for which
he was warmly applauded. Standing
upon his chair he declared this to be
the proudest hour OF his life, confession
which called forth bursts OF laughter.
After this it was with difficulty that the
speaker proceeded, for he was incessent-
y interrupted with laughter and cries Of
"What's the matter with SpeerP Hes
all right" lie was finally able to make
il understood to the convention that he
favored the selection OF the gentleman Of
"magnaimous magnanimity," Levi r.
Morton. [Laughter.]
TIE ROLL CALL
of States was completed and the Con-
vention was about to proceed to ballot
when Mr.. Moore withdrew his own
name. lie said that he wanted no office,
but desired to see that political incubus
removed from the White House; to
have that great jumbo, that clumsy
bohemoth OF Bourbon Democracy, who
occupies the place OF power at Washing
ton, abolished. The Convention then
proceeded to ballot.
Mr.. Denny, OF Kentucky, moved that
Mr.. Morton's nomination be made
Senator Sewell, OF New
Jersey, seconded the motion, and
promised the full and hearty support OF
Mr.. Phelps to the ticket.
The motion was agreed to.
The chair declared that Morton was
the nominee OF the convention for the
Vice Presidency.
On motion OF General Hustled, OF New
York, the National Committee was
then directed to provide in its call four
years hence that the territory OF Alaska
shall have two delegates 10 the con-
vention.
Mr.. Boutelie, Of Maine, then arose and
said that in behalf OF large number OF
delegates lie desired TO move TO suspend
the rules and adopt u resolution 10 be
added to the Republican platform. Mr..
Oliver, OF Pennsylvania, arose to the
point OF order that it was not now in
order to offer resolution ut this time.
The chairman stated that Mr.. Bou-
telle's motion was one to suspend the
rules, which would require to be Sec
onded by two States. 1t could only be
agreed to by a two-third vote. Then
Mr.. Boutellc proceeded to talk in regard
to the tiresides OF the nation, when an
objection was made that debate was not
in order.
The chair
SUSTAINED THIS POINT,
but stated it wasin order for the gentle
man from Maine to read the resolution
for information. But to this there was
a chorus OF objections; and Oliver, OF
Pennsylvania, standing on his chair and
gesticulating wildly, declared that all
resolutions should be referred to the
Committee on Resolutions.
"Stand by your platform" he yelled
amid storm of cheers and Kisses.
Shouts OF "Put him out" "Sit down"
"shut ubW came in a chorus from the
galleries, and hard blood was being en-
rendered amid the widest confusion.
The chair became angry and command
ed the gentleman to take his seat, stating
that il he did not do SO instantly the
Sergeant-at-Arms would be directed to
take him into custody. "TheEe is going
TO be order here" declared the chair,
emphaticalIy; but the sound OF cheers
which greeted the declaration rather
weakened its strength. For some min
utes all was chaos. The gavel OF the
chairman sounded an
lNCESsANT RATAPLAN;
