MORTON FOR SECOND PLACE.
CHICAGO, June 25.-That interest in the
convention had almost entirely died away with
the presidential nomination today was mani
tested this evening by the array of empty seats
in the galleries which previously have pre-
sented an attractive picture of handsome
toilets and Kaleidoscope colors. Members of
the various delegations were early in their
places, evidently anxious to complete their
business and return to their respective homes.
The convention reassembled at ten minutes
past six o'clock and proceeded to the regular
order--the presentation of names for the vice.
presidential nomination.
Mr.. Griggs, of New Jersey, presented the
name of William Walter Phelps. He claimed
that New Jersey was as much OF a necessary
state as was Indiana. By the action of the
convention this afternoon, the fifteen electoral
votes Of Indiana had been added to the votes
Of surely republican states and if to these were
added the votes of New Jersey, the election of
the republican ticket was assured.
There being no further seconding OF Phelps,
the call of states was continued, and when
New York was called, Senator Warner Miller
responded. He referred audience greeted the
reference with warm applause) to the candi-
dacy of Mr. Depew for the presidential nomi-
nation and he saw that that gentleman's name
had been withdrawn in sorrow, but not in an
ger. He assured the convention that though
the republican party in the state OF New York
had often been divided, all factions had been
In harmony in its action in Chicago. The
candidate whom New York proposed to present
Tor the vice-presidency, was man with whom
he (Miller) had crossed swords. 1.-THE conven-
ton would concede to the wish
of New York and give her this
president, these swords would only be drawn
in his behalf, lapplausel and he, (Miller) could
give the convention the same pledge for every
section and faction of the party in the state all
represented here tonight. By its action today
the convention had made it possible for the re-
publicans to carry Indiana. BY its further ac-
ton it could make it possible to carry New
York. This great battle was to be fought out
IN new YORK. The democratic party had
thrown down the gage of battle and if the con-
vention would help the republicans of New
York, they would carry the fght to a success
full conclusion. [Applause.]
If the New York delegates were refused the
boon, they would go home and do all that NOR
tai men could but they would go home sick at
heart and discouraged. He appealed to the
convention to hear the voice of New York. If
the convention would name tonight the man
OF their choice, they would go home, and they
would inscribe upon their banners american
Wages for the American Workingmen;
American Markets for American People and
Protection for American Homes" and on this
sign they could not be defeated In behalf of
the united delegation from tho state of New
York-in behalf of the united republican party

earnestness and with great force. He was fire.
