 the Eighth Ballot.
 CHICAGO, June 25.-The News gives William Walter Phelps as authority for saying that every candidate but Sherman stands ready to call on Blaine to make the race, but that so long as sherman has the choice Blaine's friends will do nothing to hinder it. The Tribune says New York has decided to give Sherman chance to- day after first voting for Harrison. The Herald thinks Blaine will be nominated. The Times says Sherman is leading.
 MT Manley, of Maine, Blaines friend, is quoted as saying this morning that Mr Blaine would accept only unanimous nomination, which at present seems i'm possible, and that he hopes there will be no more voting for Blaine.
 The situation this morning is compara- lively unchanged, if any one candidate can be said to have leading position at the present time it is possibly Sherman, but he is yet only possibility, and much depends upon the attitude of the New York delegation, and the friends of Harri son and Indianians say they will continue to vote for Harrison until the end is reached It seems apparent to the Blaine managers that they will be compelled to go slow in urging his cause, anG to join with the opponents upon compromise candidate New York does not like Sher- man, though they may be forced into aid ing his nomination. The chances are that the Pennsylvania delegation will vote for Sherman on the first ballot. The alleged treachery of Foraker in deserting Sher- man and going over to Blaine, has been the subject of much unfavorable com ment. Foraker is also loudly de- nounced by the members of the Ohio delegation. He may be whipped in by the time the first ballot is taken, now that Sherman has good fighting chances. It now looks as if Sherman would be given another opportunity to show his strength when the convention meets this morning. The anti-Blaine element having failed to combine upon any one, will direct their nomination. The various favorite sons will be again voted for and in all probabil- ity the next two or three ballots will be a repetition of those of Friday and Satur- day.
 The convention was called to order at 11:08 a. m and almost immediately Bou- telle of Maine took the platform to with draw Blaine's name from the convention. There was great excitement, when Boutelle said that without attempting to give con- struction to the language he would read a dispatch from Blaine. The dispatch was dated at Edinburgh, signed by J. G. Blaine, and earnestly requested his friends to re- frain from voting for him. The reading of the dispatch was greeted with great ap plause by the Sherman men who consider ed it strong point for their man.
 The roll call for the sixth ballot was called for California as usual gave Blaine 16 votes. New York gave Harrison 72 votes, and Ohio voted solid for Sherman. The Ohio vote was challenged, and on a poll of delegates Lucky voted for Harrison, leaving the result, Sherman 45, Harrison 1. The sixth ballot resulted: Alger 137, For aker 1, Allison 73, Gresham 91, Harrison 231, Sherman PA, Blaine 40, Grant 1, Me- Kinley 12.
 The seventh ballot was immediately or dered and California gave 16 votes for Harrison. The roll call of delegates was demanded, and on the call the vote stood Harrison 15, Alger 1. Florida gives rison A. Kansas gives Harrison 6; Ken lucky gives Harrison 10. Up to Maine IlaIi1oon udu SalAeu 10. IHo oo'onIn Blaine 15, Foraker I, Gresham e1, liar Harrison 278, Lincoln 2, Mckinley 16, Sherman 231, Raymond 1. Henderson of Iowa, withdraws Allison, Senator Cullon says the vote for Allison will go to liar rison.
 On the eight ballot Colorado gives liar rison 12; Iowa gives one vote for Alger, 3 to Gresham and % to Harrison. With Kansas Harrison has gained 49, while Sherman has lost IS so far. Pennsylvania will probably cast most of her votes for Harrison, if so his nomination this ballot is almost assured. Massachusetts gives 25 to Harrison; New Jersey gives IS to liar rison, which with New York gives him so far 323 votes, a gain of 116.
 When the result of the eighth ballot was announced there was tremendous ap- plause, Harrison having received the nom- ination. Following was the vote: Harri- son 544, Sherman 11S, Mckinley A. Alger 100, Blaine 5, Gresham 59.
 Foraker of Ohio moved to make the nomination unanimous. Hoar of Michigan seconds the motion, also Hastings of Penn, Henderson of Iowa, Boutelle of Me-, Raymond of Gal, and Davis of Minn. Boutelle says in the front of the fight will be found the white plume of Maine's Henry of Navarro warrior. Delegates are
 on their feet. Alger telegraphs his sym pathy and pledges the support of Mich 1 igan. Wise of Virginia, seconds the mo- | tion to make the nomination unan-
 imous, followed by Malone. Both were greeted with great applause.
 The nomination of Harrison was made
 unanimous. Conger, of Ohio, says the
 nominee for vice president will be Levi P Morton, of New York.
 It was moved to take recess until 5 D.
 m Declared not seconded. There is great confusion,
 The Sherman men are greatly depressed
 and it is the general opinion that some
 body will have to suffer for the knifne their candidate received. It is generally admitted thet Sherman's opposition to Blaine and his declaration that he was 1T
 the field to stay settled his chances. l Sentenced to be Hanged.
