But there came a morning after and cheerless awakening when "The Old Soldier" confounded the con yention wiseacres by drawing 305 votes. Nor was this vote merely an opening volley. During days,and nights of bal loting, the Grant partisans, evidently prepared to fight it out along the same line if it took all summer, scarcely va ried from the 305 mark.
 Blaine battIed stubbornly, bat could not break through the opposition. Dem onstrations, first for one candidate, then the other, worked the tired, excited delegates into frenzy. When a lull threatened the band struck up wen Rally Round the Flag Boys, March ing Through Georgia" or Glory, Glory Hallelujah'i and all was well again. An overwrought delegate from Wyoming cast his vote for General Philip H Sheridan, who happened to be on the platform at the time. General Sheridan appeared to be greatly amused.

 EAMY precious American tradition W anne perilously near to being vio-
 ~ hted by the republican convention of 1880. General Grant, or "Old Sol dier Grant" as his supporters affec- tionatels dubbed him, all but stepped into a third term, following what is generally recognized as the stiffest bat tie ever waged on convention floor.
 sTbe. Old Soldier" met defeat after week of conflict between the political giants of the day. In falling, he dragged his strongest adversary, James c. Blaine, with him, and the choice fell to James A. Garfield, an amiable dele gate from Ohio, who had remained neu- tral during the. fray.
 The third term bungaboo le0med omi. nously when the delegates assembled at the iake-front Exposition building in Chicago on the second day of June. There were two distinct factions, the Third -Termers and the others, whose cry was Anybody to Beat Grant" The anti-Grant delegates went prepared to back their favorite candidates as long as they had a chance; but beyond that were ready to pool their strength against the solid forces of the former president, marshalled by brilliant ga laxy of leaders. +Hs Blaine, conceded to be the most pop ular man in the party, commanded the greatest following. He was regarded as the staunchest bulwark in the anti Grant defense. John sherman was . third important candidate who nigh, become factor if the two leader, fought to a draw.
 With the opening of the convention the Anybody to beat Grant" allies en joyed a night of ecstacy, for the "uni rule" was shelved, leaving delegates
