Blaine was named incidentally three other
times. Each time his name created an ex-
cltement which, unlike the sensations Gre
ated by the names of other candidates, evil
IDENTITY permeated the entire conven-
uon. Mrs. Logan, who sat in the north
gallery in full view of the convention,
did great deal to bring out applause
for Alger. She led the clapping herself
until Fraser's allnsion to her husband and
MS friendship with Alger made her weep.
her tears touched the heart of the conven-
ten, and Alger got temporarily the benefit
OF its sympathy. When Ohio was called
Mrs. Foraker, who sat at Mrs. Logan's side,
rose with her sister, and both ladies opened
white umbrellas trimmed with little flags
and waved them in the air. This was the
signal for the burst Of applause which
kept Gen. Hastings from beginning
for at least a minute. The two New
York senators who made presentation
speeches did not succeed very well. His
cocks speech was poor and his candidate
unpopular. His defiant alluSion to the
mugwumps struck a responsive chord.
Glover came so late that the audience was
too tired to hear patiently his good speech.
He stirred it up by mentioning Blaine, but
any one. could have done that. Besides the
candidates formally presented to-day, in
cluding Rusk, who was only named at the
last moment, SO that no one had speech
ready for him, Blaine, ingalls,, Foraker
and Mckinley will be voted for
on the first ballot tomorrow.
WHAT is EXPECTED TO-DAY.
CHICAGO, June 81, 10 p. M.-Carnegie's
statement of Blaine's willingness to accept
the nomination was accepted by most of the
delegates to-day as conclusive. 1t has at
once shortened the task Of the Blaine man
ayers and doubled the difficulties. They
must still pretend that Blaine does not want
the nomination, and that it must be forced
upon him, because no other candidate can
command the votes to get the nomination.
But with the knowledge that he is just
waiting to accept, the delegates who want
to see him nominated are for prompt action.
The general expectation among delegates
tonight is that Blaine will be nominated to-
morrow. The Blaine managers, 50 far sue
cessful in carrying out their plans, are very
anxious that no mistakes should be made.
They do not provide for Mr.. Blaine to be
nominated on the first ballot, as their most
enthusiastic followers think he would be.
The candidates and favorite sons are to be al
lowed to show their strength. When it ap-
parent that none of them can be nominated,
Blaineisto be brought to the front. Sher-
mans full strength will not exceed
800 votes, III less than the number neces-
sary to a choice. His own managers, not
blinded by the favor with which the stirring
speeches nominating him were received to-
day, do not see where they are going to get
those necessary additional votes. They will
do well to hold their own. Gresham will
the first ballot, with no more
in sight. Alger will have less than
Gresham, with no more to build upon.
Harrison will have less than a hundred.
Depew will have less than hundred. Depew
has been trying to stiffen up the New York
delegation to day but JohnJ. O'Brien insists
that he, at least, will vote for Blaine
on the first ballot, if no one else does.
The rest Of the delegation on the
first ballot will be divided between Blaine
and the other dark horses. The second
ballot promises to be the significant one.
The candidates will then be dropped while
the dark horses will come for
ward Allison well in front. Foraker,
the choice of Ohio, in the lead. He might
be nominated by accident. He seems to
stand not much behind Blaine in the
affections of the republicans. AS it is, he
may be on the ticket with Blaine. Mean
while the Alger men are seeking a combine
with a view to getting the second place for
Alger'S boom. Mrs. Logan thinks Alger
will be on one eud of the ticket or the
other.
EITHER BLAINE OR HARRISON.
CHICAGO, ILL.,, June 21, 1859 P. M
There have been a number of conferences
tonight between the leaders with the view
of reaching some agreement as to what
shall be done in regard to the presidential
nomination. No agreement had been
reached at midnight between the represen-
tatives of any two interests. The Blaine
managers are not so confident as they were.
The difficulties of the situation tonight
are greater than at any former time. They
are arranging to 60 for Harrison in case
they find that they cannot nominate Blaine,
just as they want to do it. They would
then take Phelps or Morton for vice presi-
dent. The only safe prediction tonight is,
therefore, that the nominee is likely to be
either Blaine or Harrison.
