spectators, when he began to indicate
plainly that there had been change in his
old choice for the presidency. This
became very plain when Ingersoll at-
vocated with emphasis ticket composed
OF i've soldiers Then he went further and
mentioned for leader Walter Q. Gresham
MIXED SHOUT.
He got no further. A marvellous mixed
shout OF Blaine, Sherman, Alger, Allison
and Harrison arose III giant discord that
made each component unrecognizable.
Technically the convention had adjourned
before lngersoll began speaking, but as q
matter of fact no one had left the hall,
every one wishing to hear such a celebrity.
Now many OF the delegates, particularly
those from Kansas, Maine, Ohio, Massa-
chusetts, Indiana and Pennsylvania, vacated
their seats. large banner with Blaine
and protection" on IL, was lifted up from
che seats Of the California delegation, and
its exhibition was loudly cheered. Blaine
was loudly cheered.
INGERsoLL LOOKED ON GRIMLY
at first and smiled, but finally Withdrew.
Just az the Californians were rushing to
the platform, one of the delegates, John
Fitch, TO answer for Blaine, Fred Douglas
headed off Fitch and spoiled the tableau by
introducing just In time the stentorian-
voiced actor, who drowned all the con-
fusion with the famous lines of "Sheridanis
hide. Fltchs opportunity was gone and
his speech was turned TO ridcule
People IN scores ran up near where he was
speaking, wholly regardless of his presence
and intent, only grabbing flowers and
bits of decoration as relics. Then the lights
went out on Fitch. In remarkable con-
trast to all this was the speech of Chauncey
M. Depew, a few moments before with
drawing, with all the grace and force and
good taste bf polished gentleman, his
name from the list of candidates for the
presidency. The greatest surprise of tho
day, and one evidently much in Depew's
favor, Is the fact that he gave no indication
OF desire, ii possible, as he could not get
the nomination himself, to say to whom
the nomination should go.

The following is an extract from Inger-
soils speech:

party as the most important thing for the
republic In the next place no single man,
whatever his services may be, no gentle
man, whatever bis achievements have been.

great question is, and that question must be-
settled at the polls, not in a whirlwind Of
excitement, but after months Of discussion.

the American people make their
choice. Let them say who they

who did not want TO go to Richmond
during the war should not be sent to Wash
