BLAINE AND LOGAN! End of the Work of the National Republican Convention. The Balloting Opens with Three Hundred and Thirty-Four for Blaine, Whose Lend Steadily Increases Until the Fourth Ballot, When the Plumed Knight Scores Five Hundred and Thirty-Nine Votes, Senator Jno.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Chicago, June 6. —The final scene came at twenty minutes before 5 o’clock this afternoon, when, at the conclusion of the fourth ballot, the chairman announced that James G. Blaine had received 544 votes, and was the nominee of the Republican party for President of the United States. It has been apparent from the first that in the absence of rapid and effective concentration the nomination of Mr. Blaine was a foregone conclusion, although the field, upon several test votes, showed itself stronger than Mr. Blaine; still, there was no cohesiveness in the elements forming it, and there has been no hope of a satisfactory combination. The convention assembled to-day with the elements as diverse and as far apart as ever. Feeble attempts were made .to try General Sherman and Robert T. Lincoln as dark horses, but there was no tendency toward them, and the success of Mr. Blaine followocl as a matter of course. The under-current and the outside currents have all been for Blaine, a force the strength of which was recognized when the exexpected break came. A stiff struggle was made over the effort to adjourn, and its decisive defeat settled the question beyond peradventure. The Arthur men held their strength throughout the three ballots. They feared to attempt a transfer, because the Southern delegates were only held in check by strong offorts, and would go largely for Mr. Blaine when the pressure was relieved. The Edmunds men, with their ideal principles and methods, would make no decisive indication toward Arthur, while it was evident that Logan’s strength in Illinois and Sherman’s in Ohio was very strongly tinctured with Blaine. Judge Foraker, in his withdrawal of Sherman, and his proposition to name Mr. Blaine by ac clamation, settled the very apparent drift. Indiana, strongly Blaine in tendency, settled the question, when Col. Thompson cast thirty votes solidly for the popular favorite The fight has been Blaine against the field. Blaine was well handled, with dash, brilliance, audaucity, and enthusiasm, while the field had no management, and has been steadily weakened under the assaults of Blaine’s warm, untiring friends. INCIDENTS OF THE DAY. There were many incidents of the day that were notable and funny. Stewart, of Pennsylvania, a Blaine leader, sat opposite from Young Roosevelt, and upon the struggle to force a roll call on the motion to adjourn these two men were on their chairs howling at each other like maniacs, beating the air with their fists, but maintaining perfect good humor towards each other. Behind Roosevelt, and almost tonening him, was W. W. Phelps, with both hands up to his mouth, yelling like the foreman of a volunteer fire company. Os course neither could be heard three feet distant, but they kept on yelling all the same, and the audience enjoyed the spectacle hugely. At each change of vote, and when the nomination of Blaine was certain, bedlam broke loose, and the convention went wild. The scones of last night were repeated. A stuffed eagle, surmounting a fine banner, a mammoth rooster on a Kansas banner, and a Hag from lowa, bearing the legend, “marching from Maine to California, through lowa,” were carried through the aisles amid the shouting, enthusiastic thousands. Outside the hall multiplied thousands marched through the streets with brass bands, while the roar of artillery added its hoarse voice to the general jubilee. When the nomination w?\s made unanimous, the Chair putting the question under the rale, Congressman Burleigh, of New York, seconded the motion, and there wore loud

and continued calls for Curtis, but he did not respond. Mr. Roosevelt, the young Napoleon of the Independents, had agreed with himself to place General Sherman in formal nomination, but lie let “I dare not wait upon 1 would;” the opportunity never came, and that speech will not see the light of day. So soon as the nomination of Mr. Blaine was assured, the floor broke up into caucuses over the nomination for Vice president The Illinois men wauted Logan, the Indiana delegates worked for General Gresham, while there was considerable quiet talk for General Fairchild, and also for Foraker, of Ohio. The report was circulated that General Gresham had telegraphed to General Foster that he could not accept the place under any circumstances, but later this report was declared to be without foundation, the declination having come from Secretary Lincoln, according to the amended report. TIIE NOMINATION OF LOGAN. The Illinios Man Receives All the Votes with the Exception of Seven. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Chicago, June G. —At the night session there was a most tumultuous scene, ending in the greatest confusion because of a blunder of Gen. Henderson, the chairman. There was no doubt of the nomination of General Logan. No other name was mentioned, and after speeches galore, and enthusiasm without stint, a motion was made to suspend the rules so General Logau could be nominated by acclamation. This was carried, and the chair declared that General Logan was nominated. The motion on the nomination should have been put to the convention, and amid a terrible uproar Congressman Davis demanded in behalf of Illinos that the roll should be called, which General Henderson ordered. Massachusetts cast throe votes for Fairchild, which was greeted with hisses, and in a few moments Congressman Crape arose, and was permitted to make the vote twelve for Logan, all the delegates present, the remainder having left the hall. New York asked time, through Mr. Curtis, which was granted, and tho roll of the States proceeded. Ohio’s unanimous vote was cheered to the echo as was Pennsylvania. General Robinson, who heads the Ohio State ticket, settled the question of Logan’s chance in a few ringing words, seconding his nomination. Great laughter was caused when, for the first time, the District of Columbia’s delegates rose, one white man and one one colored, and voted together for Logan. New York finally voted one for Foraker, six for Gresham, and sixty for Logan, which completed the call, the vote being unanimous with the exception of seven votes. Before the vote was declared the band struck up the “Star Spangled Banner,” and the artillery outside thundered its echoes of applausee. The nomination was made unanimous, and the concluding detail of the vote was perfected amidst turmoil and enthusiasm for Blaine and Logan. GENERAL AND PERSONAL. The general comment upon the ticket is favorable. Os course, hero iq Chicago it has created the wildest enthusiasm. While some of the New York and Massachusetts delegates talk gloomy, and even suggest possibilities of the loss of those States, the almost universal sentiment is that the ticket fairly and fully represents the heart of the party The nomination of Logan makes more than fighting ground of the States oi North Carolina, Virginia, Tennessee, Florida and Louisiana. If the national Republican committee shapes its plans toward making a contest in these Southern States, such as is made in doubtful Northern States, there is every probability of breaking the solid South. Colonel R. W. Thompson says that if the nomination of Blaine is a mistake, it is tho fault of the Republican party, for eight-tenths of the Republicans of tho country are for him, and desired that he bo placed at the head of tho ticket. There can be no question of Blaine carrying Maine in September and then Ohio in October, and with this prestige, the success of the party and the ticket in the following November, can not be fairly regarded as doubtful. Roosevelt voted for Foraker for Vice-presi-dent After his splendid speech last night for Sherman, Roosevelt went up to him and said he was going to vote for him for Vicepresident if no one else did in the convention, aud he kept his word. The six who voted for Gresham were George William Curtis and five others who had voted for Edmunds. Col. Bob Ingersoll sent a note to Foraker, saying that, under the circumstances, his speech naming Sherman was the best one made. Tho Blaine managers tendered their support to Harrison for Vice-president, but his friends declined to allow' the use of his name, much as they appreciated the compliment. Ono distinguished gentleman who had been here saying and doing all he could to belittle and injure Senator Harrison, felt called upon this evening to explain and apologize to ono ot the Senator’s friends. Ho was referred to lioadquarters. Os course, Mr. Blaine’s Cabinot has already been formed, and common consent places Edmunds in it as Secretary of State. The city is alive at 11 o’clock to-night with every manifestation of campaign enthusiasm. A monster torch-light- procession was at once formed, and. followed by thousands of people, marched through tho principal streets. The shop-windows are filled up with portraits of Blaine and Logan, while the hotel lobbies are thronged, and the newsboys crying out editions of the papers containing full accounts of the day’s proceedings up to the hour of sine die adjournment The campaign has already opened, and that it will bo one that will wake the echoes is already evident BALLOTING FOR PRESIDENT. Mr. Blaine Nominated on the Fourth Ballot, Receiving 548 Votes. Chicago, June 0. —Tho convention was called to order at 11:19 A. M. by Chairman Henderson, and ope rod with prayer by Rev. Henry Martyn Scudder, of Plymouth Church, Chicago.
