The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1888-06-30

Foraker and her friend were twlrled, aud
Miss Sherman hoisted large flag so that
the whole audience could see it. The
demonstration lasted six and one half
minutes, but was seldom loud enough to
drown the music. The speeches that fol-
lowed did much TO stimulate and increase
the enthusi asm. Governor Forakec, IN
offering the motion to make the nomina-
ton unanimous, got his usual ova ion
before and after one of his usual speeches.
Congressman Horr, as the spokesman OF
the Alger boom, said lew words very
forcefully, and received Il cordial recogni
lion. Speeches was at once reluted by
calamorous call for Chauncey VI. Depew.
DEPEw sTIRs THEM AGAIN.
The result was one ui the best speeches
of the convention, and its effect upon the
audience was immediate aud vociferous.
Depew's remark, that no candidate was
disappointed, because none really ex
pected to get the nomination, was delici
Gus, and the audience appreciated it so
much that it applauded 1t once, and then
enchoed its own applause with double
strength. The speeches of General
Hastings, of Pennsylvania; Genera
Henderson. Iowa; and Mr.. Boutelle, of
Maine, were instances, respectively, of
the brief the eloquent and the oratorical.
When Mr.. Boutelle ne toned the white
plume, the audience responded maguih-
Gently. the telegram of congratulation
from Governor Alger was loudly APP
plauded. The second of Wise was an ell.
thuslastc success, aud Malone was
making Il good speech when somebody
shouted: shake hands with WISE As
soon as Malone heard this, he hoped
from the platform and made for a seat in
the Ohio delegation, so as to avoid any
thing like a reconciliation. Governor
Stockbridge, of Vermont; Lynch, OF
Mississippi; Colonel Thurston, of Ne
braska: and Harris, of North Carolina
all made successful seconds. DelegateWil
liams of Arkansas, woke up the galleries
with patriotic speech. Mr.. Bradley. OF
Kentucky, finished the seconds, aud the
nomination was made unanimous, amid
more enthusiasm.
Alter recess Mr.. Griggs, of New
Jersey, presented the name of VIM.
Walter Phelps The domination was
seconded by Gibson of Ohio, Egan of
Nebraska. Rosenthal of Texas, Buutelle
of Maine, and others. All of these made
short speeches, and most of them good
ones. New York came next, aud Elk
Senator Warner Miller presented The
name of Levi 2. Morton, who, lie said,
would combine every section and every
clique OF the Republican party in New
York. They had nominated candidate
who made it possible to carry Indiana.
He now asked them to nominate candi-
date who would make it possible to carry
New York The New York delegation
applauded every sentiment OF the speaker
aud when he concluded New York arose
en- masse and cheered. Half of the other
delegations seemed to be up also. Mr..
Gage, of California, seconded the NOM
ination, and it being a part of the creed
of California to bring in Blaine upon all
occasions he lugged him in. Ex-Gov
Foster, OF OHIO; Hastings OF Pennsylvania
and Oliver OF South Carolina, also sec
onded the nomination of Morton. Sims,
of Virginia, who thought they were still
talking for Phelps made quite a witty
little speech in his favor, which Was both
entertaining aud amusing. and created a
very good effect. One of the other sec
onds for Morton was Chalmers, of Mis-
SiSSippi. who LETT the democratic party of
his State because he could no longer
obtain hOnors from 1t which he did not
deserve. He enjoyed hugely the applause
and laughter which his maliguing of his
5 ate and people ELECTED, going beyond
even such men as Foraker. His remarks
were to large extent taken up with a
recital of his own biography. Vote
Voter was the cry now, but there were
still more who wanted to parade them
selves before the crowd.
MORTON NOMINATED.
McElwee, colored delegate from Ten
nessee, who like all OF the colored dele
gates who had preceded him, spoke well
and with line voice, presented the name
of john K. Moore, of his State. \ dele
gate from North Carolina named Sperry
caused uproarious laughter by the ire
pressible manner in which he succeeded
in obtaining the floor after North Caro-.
lima had been passed and no response
made. He began in a dry, humorous
way, illustrated his points with anec-
dotes after the style of Senator Vance,
convulsing the floor and galleries. He
was perfectly self-possessed, and main
tanned straight face in the midst OF the
grimaces and shrieks of laughter. He
was for Morton, but it was not discovered
until he had reached his last sentence.
Mr.. Moore of Tennessee, Withdrew his
name from the list of candidates. The
roll was then called and Alabama led off
with 10 for Morton, ) for Bradley. Ar
kansas was solid for Morton. The call
was not one third through when it was
settled that Morton would have an over
whelmiug majority. Kentucky gave
Bradley %, that gentleman abstaining
from voting. Maryland gave Bradley l,
Phelps 3, and II for Morton. Bradley
had complimentary votes for many of the
States, Virginia gave l for Bradley, 5
for Phelps, and is for Morton. Virginia,
which, as Mr.. Sims had facetiously said
in his speech, had taken up so little time
of the convention, was the State, when
called, on which the roll of members was
demanded. Mr.. French. of the delega-
ton, challenged the correctness of the
announcement, and on the roll Morton
had 16 instead of Is. The ballot summed
up 59l for Morton. 119 for Phelps, and
103 for Bradley. The nomination of
Morton was then made unanimous.
The following resolution was adopted
with but one dissenting voice.
The first concern of ali good govern
ments is the virtue and sobriety of the
people. and the purity of their homes.
The Republican party cordially sym
pathizes with all wise and we'll directed
efforts for the promotion of temperance
and morality. AS soon as this was read,
there was rush from the various states
to second the motion, and after some
time the question was put and the resolu-
ton adopted by "a rising vote, only one
delegate from Maryland being brave
enough to record himself IN the negative.
The convention adjourned sine die at
S.52 p. NJ.
