y. Tayner, Attorney General of the
PostofIlce department, some time ago,
and asked him to tell me the inside
history of the nomination of President
Hayes in 1876. Judge Tyner was at
this time, as he is now, one of the lead
ing politicians Of Indiana. His friend,
Oliver ?. Morton, was one of the lead
ing candidates before the convention,
and it was the throwing of the Morton
strength to Hayes that caused the
stampede in his favor and resulted in
his nomination. Judge Tyner was at
first reluctant to speak of the matter,
but finally he gave the story as an in
teresting piece of unwritten history.
Said he:
For some time before the conven-
tin it was evident that Blaine would be
the strongest candidate to come before
it. He had an enthusiastic following.
and when the convention met at Gin
cinnati we ut once saw that it was
Blaine against the field. The rela-
tons between Senator Morton and Sen
ator Blaine were by no means friendly
ones. Morton thought Blaine had in
jured him, and next to his hope of re-
ceiving the nomination himself was his
hope that if lie could not be nominated
the nominee should not be Blame. For
a mum Der of reasons did not deem it
wise or safe tina. Elaine should be our
nominee, and thought that some other
candidate would be more acceptable to
the people. There were 75G votes in
the convention and 379 were necessary
to choice.
ION the first ballot Blame had POI votes
and Morton came next TO him with 125.
Then followed Bristow of Kentucky.

He had l13 votes, and next to him stood
Conkling, whom Grant was anxious to
see nominated, and after Conkling
came Hayes of Ohio, and Hartranft of
Pennsylvania. The Blaine forces were
solid They were well organized, and
they were in the fight to stay. We cast
five ballots, the candidates not varying
much from their original strength. But
at the end of the sixth ballot it was

evident to me that break was bound
to come very soon, and that q straw
one way or the other would result in
the nomination of the candidate toward
whom it went.
Now, had long conversation with
Mr.. Morton before left Washington,
in which 1 told him we would nomi-
nate him if we could, but that
thought it would be miracle if we
succeeded in doing so.
The Blaine strength had fought
hard against the field, and it was all
we could do to keep the forces of the
other candidates in their ranks. At
one time, when the Conkling strength
was wavering. a number of the other
candidates loaned him votes to keep
his strength up and to keep them from
going to Blaine, and during the first
days session we forced an ndjouru-
ment, for we saw that another ballot
would result in Blaine's nomination.
We accomplished this adjournment by
trick. We knew that the Blaine
men could outyote US on the question
of adjournment, but the man who had
charge of the Convention hall was a
friend OF Hayes, and it began to grow
dark just about the time that this bal
lot was TO be taken. he came to the
Convention hall and told the leaders
that the gas fixtures of the hall were
all out of order, and that if they at
tempted to light them there would GER
tainly be an explosion.
"The result was that the convention
had to be adjourned until the next day
and that story about the gas brought
about Blaine's defeat 1t enabled his
opponents to make combinations
against him, and many of the delegates
sat up all night, myself among the
number. Hayes at this time had not
much more than the vote of Ohio. I
called upon Governor Noyes and he
wanted me to throw the Morton
strength TO Hayes. l told him thought
Morton could be nominated, and we
finally left with the understanding that
if the time came in the convention
when it was seen that either Morton or
Hayes could be nominated by the aid
of the other, that the best man would
have the votes of the other at that
time. This was private arrangement
between myself and Governor Noyes.
There was no other candidate included
in it.

five out of thirty Indiana delegates to

declared to the convention, the shout
that went up almost took the roof off

and at the close of that ballot Hayes
had 1874 and Blaine had PSI"
Speaking of the enthusiasm of the
convention of 1876, the most enthusiast
tic convention in our history was the
, Garfield convention in 1880. Secretary
Foster who was the leader OF the Sher-
man forces of this convention, told me
not long ago that the applause which
began during the last allot, when it
was seen that Garfield was going to be
nominated, lasted over an hour, and
that they were still applauding when
he took Garfield out of the convention.
THE nomination OF Garfield" said
Secretary Foster, was almost directly
the result of hero worship. The con
vention of 1889 WIS made mp of hero
worshippers. The followers of Grant
and Blaine were full of enthusiasm and
fire and of the determination to nomi-
nate their candidates. The rest of the
delegates were actuated by the same
feeling. Every man seemed to have
come to the convention with a purpose,
and as the convention went on this en-
thusiasm spread, as the contest was
narrowed down to two ~ three candi-
dates it became stronger and stronger.
Soon after the convention was called
to order it was seen that is was Grant
against the field. Roscoe Conl1ling,was
the idol OF the friends of Grant He
was cheered again and again when
ever he rose in the hall, and his
speeches were received with long
and continued applause. I
think that Conl1ling enjoyed
his position. He never looked
better nor stronger than he did at Chi
cago, and he seemed to feel his power.
Now, the opposing elements required
an idol, and that idol they found in
Garfield. He was pre-eminently the
great leader of the opposition, and his
eloquence, his magnificent presence
and the courage lie showed on the floor
made him the god of the anti-Grant
men of the convention. don't think
Garfield encouraged this sentiment.
He wos,ld not have been mortal had he
not liked it, but he was modest about
it, and he did not court applause nor
pose for it as it seemed to me Conkling
did. As the convention went on this
worship of the leaders grew stronger
and stronger, and when the time came
that Garfeld's name was sprung by
those sixteen votes from Wisconsin it

FLAMES IN A BIG MINE.
Mahanoy City ColIiery Apparently
Doomed to Destr uctiOn.

Mahanoy City ColIiery Apparently
Doomed to Destr ctiOn
PoTTsvrLLE, Pa, Dec. 4.--Fire was
discovered in the Reading Company's
West Mahanoy City colliery last night,
and has been burning since, working its
way into the inner workings. 1t has
already reached the Buck Mountain
vein. 4 nest of sixteen boilers and
several outbulldings have sunk into the
mine by the burning away of the tim
bers. The damage already runs high
into the thousands.
The fire WAS discovered at o'clock
yesterday afternoon, since which time
it has been raging most 1uriOusly In the
decayed tim bers, taking a course to-
ward the main part of the mine. In
spite of the endeavors of 100 or more
men, using several lines of hose, it had
at O. CLOCK, reached the Buck Mount
ain vein, which was worked some years
ago through this drift.
AS soon as the fire was discovered
prompt measures were taken to subdue
it before it reached the inner workings.
A number of miners entered the drift
to fight the flames. They had gone IN
considerable distance when Fire Boss
Wlthey and miner Henry Dernst8l were
| overcome by the gas. Al, were affected
| but the others managed to drag the two
men about forty yards towards the
mouth OF the drift, where they received
assistance from the outside. Both men
are in serious condition. When water
was first thrown on from the line OF
hose, an explosion occurred which
! hurled the pipeman several yards down
the drift, badly burning and 1niurins
him, but not fatally.
At l o'clock this morning terrible
crash was heard and that part Of the
drift directly beneath the boilers col
lapsed, carrying eight sets Of boilers
sixteen in all, into the breach. The
fire is now being fought from the slope
and although it WAS still burning fur1
ously ct 10 o'clock this morning, the
officials have hopes that by cutting of
this part of the mine from all draught
and the use Of plenty water, it can bt
! gotten under control.
The fremen who had charge of the
| boilers now say that they have noticed
for some time the presence of fire some
| where, but could not locate it, anC
therefore did not notify the officials
thinking it Of no consequence. ThC
