of Nevada had been called, delegates were seen rushing through the aisles in various directions. When North Carolina was reached there was a great deal of uproar, and the Chair said: “The gentlemen in the aisles will please take their seats, and the sergeant-at-arms will please see that they do so.” An assistant sergeant-at-arms rushed around at a terrific pace insisting? with vehemence that the order applied with peculiar force, and was especially directed to the reporters. When the vote of Pennsvbnmia was announced. Mr. Magee and Mr. Flinn. of l*enn*ylvan!a, both changed their votes and insisted on a count. While the roll was being called, Mr. Baker, of Indiana. arose and said: “Mr. Chairman. 1 demand that the lobbyists who have taken uosaesision of those aisles shall go to their places instantly.” The Chair—The gentlemen will resume their seats.

Collins, of New York—Name the men and put them, out. The Chair—The gentlemen will take their seats. After a season of great confusion, in which the audience materially assisted with their feet and voices in the tumult on the floor of the house, quiet was restored and the secretary proceeded with the call of tke roR. When the State of Pennsylvania was reached the chairman of the delegation reported its vote. The vote was immediately challenged, and a call of the roll of the State's delegation was ordered by the chair. When the result of the third ballot was announced there was another scene of wild confusion and tierce cheering. When opportunity offered, Judge Foraker, of Ohio, was recognized by the Chair.

When the State of Ohio was colled Judge Forakar arose and said: "For what I supposed to be the best interests of this party I presented the name of John Sherman to this convention. Also, supposing it to be for the best interests of the party we have, until now, favorably and most cordially supported him. Now, also, in tho interests ©f the party, we withdraw liim. and cast for James G. Blaine forty-six votes." [Tremendous outbursts of applause. J The socretarv then announced the result of the fourth ballot for President as follows: Whole number of delegates 820. whole number of votes cast 816, necessary to a choice 411, of which Robert T. Liaraoln received 2. John A. Logan 7, Joseph R. Hawley 15. George F. Edmunds 41, Chester A. Arthur 207, •Tames G. Blaine 544. The secretary's announcement of the vote for James G. Blaine got no further than the hundreds, for his voice was lost in the whirlwind of applause that followed the fact of Blaine’s nomination, which had been a oertaintyaver since Mr. Cullom had tried to read his telegram from John A. Logan. The entire audience, delegates and visitors, rose to their feet simultaneously, everybody being Blaine men now. and shouted and sang their delight at the success of the man from Maine, with demonstrations of joy such as had never been seen before in the convention. It took nearly thirty minutes to get to business. The Chair—Gentlemen of the convention [the ushers making diligent efforts to restore quiet], order. At this point the booming of the cannon was heard, and caused renewed cheers. The convention, at length, Incoming comparatively quiet, the chairman resumed. "James G. Blaine, of Maine, having received the votes of a majority of all the delegates elected to this convention —' r The chairman at this point frmfirtg himself unable to make his voice heard in the c oaf us iox which prevailed, handed the written announcement to the secretary, who read it, as follows: 'James G. Blaine, having received the votes of a majority of all ‘he delegates elected to this convention. tlw question now before the convention.is, shall the nomination of Mr. Blaine be made unanimous?'’ [Cries of "Yes.”] The Choir recognized Mr. Burleigh, of New York. Mr. Burleigh—Mr. President, in behalf of the President of the United States and at his request I move to make the nomination of Jas. G. Blaine, of Maine, unanimouss and l promise for the friends of President Arthur, who are always loyal at the polH. and for northern New York 20,00® Republican majority, and 1 promise you all t-bat we vriK do all w can for the ticket anil for the nominee, and will show you in November next that New Yuck is a Republican BLute. It elected James A. Garfield, and it will elect James G. Blaine, of Maine. [ tpplarase.l Tho Chair-—The gentleman from Minnesota has the floor. Mr. Sabin, of Minnesota, having the floor, said: “Mr Chairman: Four years ago, in this very ball, and as a delegate- to the nationalliepubKeaw convention, I was opposed to Chester A. Arthur and to the elements with which he Bren associated. Since then hv ha* Lo-vi c..Ued, under the most trynuj- cirexmstances. to ' fulfill t-he first place in the gift ot the people of this country. So well, so nobly, so faithfully has he fulfilled that trust, and so happily has lie disappointed — i**t only his opponents, but his friends—so folly ha* he tille4 the position of the scholar and the gentleman, that to-day I honor and revere* Chaster A.

[Loud aud prolonged ap[ilausuj Mr. Pin mb, of Kansas—Mr. Chairman: This convention haa discharged two of its most important trusts, ami is xow. uotvrrt hr standing the- lrujjjth o£ timer it has been in session, and the exciting crisis through which: it has passed in. thoroxglL good humor. a<nd I. believe we are ready to go on- and complete the business which brought us all here. Mr. Houck, of Nebraska—There is a motion to make the nomination, unanimous. That is the question before tlx? eearentirm. and I col! for tire regular order. Mr. Plumb, of Kansas—Before proceeding with that I dosire to respond to the sentiment whkih prevails m the entire convention. I move that tho nomination be made unanimous, and I hope there will not be a dissenting voice in all this vast assembly. The Chair.—Shall tho motion to make the nomination unanimous prevail? All tliosa in. favor will say , aye. The tremendous shout of “ayeP sent tip by the vast multitude clearly demonstrated tile fact that the nomination was unanimous. Mr. liusted, of New \~orfc.—l move that this convention do now adjuorn until 8 o’clock this evening, which motion prevailed. TIIE CLOSING SESSION. .John A. Logan Nominated Almost Unanimously for Vice-President. Chicago*, June fk—Considering that ail the exeite- : tnent and interest In the convention cukmnated to-day in the nommafkm of Mr. Blaine far the presidency, there was a very large attendance, as well of delegates jas of spectators, at the evening session. Tho gallories | were hardly less crowded than at any of the preceding j sessions, but there was a marked absence of any other feribig than one of simple curiosity. It was 8:15 o’clock when the chairman’s gavel fell and announced that prayer would be offered by Rev. Dr. Chao. O’Beily, of Detroit. Dr. is treasurer of the : Irish National League of America, and is the first J Catholic priest to open a Republican national convenj tion with prayer. It may then, be said that the Republicans have introduced two [ new features in convextioxs—a colored man as I temporary chairman and a representative of tho Cathj olio church invited to participate in the official proceedmgs on ax equality with Protestent ministers. I Doctor CXReily is a life-long Republican. At the conclusion of she prayer the Chair called for the names of members of the national committee which hadxot been already sent up. Florida announced the name of Jesse Gh Coles, aiul the District of Columbia that of Colonel P°rry Carson. A resolution was passed permitting State central committees to name members of the national committee not already named. Mr. Conger, from tlie Dfafirict of Columbia, said the name of Carson had! out been agreed on by tlie dalegut ion. The Chair derided the gentiexian out of order. Pending action, a resolution was offered to limit nominating speeches to ten minutes, which might be divided between two or more speakers Mr. Conger—l want to know whether the voice of tho District of Columbia is to be suppressed by the chairman. The Chair —I very much wish I could do so. [Laughter.J Mr. Conger insisted on speaking, amid much laughter and confusion. When order was restored, it was announced, on behalf of New Mexico, that Stephen B. EBiina had been substituted as member of the national conixiittee for the gentleman previously announced, owing to tha resignation of the latter. Mr. Conger, from tlie District of Columbia, again inquired whether Carson's name had been put ou die roll as member of the national committee. The Chair—lt has. Mr. Conger again protested, without sucres*. The resolution limiting speeches of nomination to ten mmutes won (Maaeed. and the clerk proceeded to call the roll of States for nominations. SENATOR LOGAN NOMINATED. No response waxveetfived until Illinois waa reached, when Senator Plumb, of Kansas, came forward. He said the convention had completed two of its most serious duties, the* adoption of a platform ami the nomination of a candidate for President The plot- ! form was one on wliich all good Republican* could unite, and the candidate one who could beat any Deraocmt, living or dead; but ft waa still important that the best possible man should be named for the place. It was a matter of jnst recognition to a great body of the soldiers of the war for the Union:that a representative from their number should be placed as tne second name on the ticket. The Grand Army of the RepnblTc had enrolled more than tlirae-quarters of a million of men who lately wore tho bhte. fn presenting a name from their ranks the speaker could mention a man fitted in every way for the first place—a man wliu would add strength to the ticfcxt ana justify t!w hopes aiul expectations of the party. That man was Gen. JohnA. Loglm, [loud, long, and ronewed-applause..] Tlusspeaker did not present him on behalf- of Illinois, or of any utlier Stata, but of tlie whole United States. He belonged no more to Illinois than to Kansas, whore 75.0 W soldiers would receive the news of his nomination with shouts of gladness. The speaker waa commissioned by the State of Kansas to make this noniioaf-ion. Judge Houk, of Tennessee, in seconding tho nomination. said that while the convention had not chosen his first choice, it had doax well. and. the make* proceeded to pay a tribute to the Plumed Knight of Maine, lie hoped the convention, would coiue to a common understanding aud agreement for the second place on the ticket. When the wires should transmit the nows of tire nomination of General Logan to the soldier hoys of East Tennessee there would he rejoicing among them, as there would be everywhere. On tho presidential nominee his delegation wu* somewhat divided, but when they came to name John A. Logan they were united, twenty-four strong. Mr. Thurston, of Nebraska, also secondedthe nomination. He wanted tlie Republican party to write upon its banners tire invincible legend, ‘Blaine and Logan.” Mr. Lee, of Pennsylvania, iu further seconding the nomination, said the convention had chosen as its candidate for President a native of Pennsylvania, whoso fame had grown too great for his native .State and become commensurate with the greatness of the nation. Congressman Ilorr, of Michigan, further seconded the nomination, saving that in nominating John A.

Logan, the convention would light the soldiers’ campfires from end to end of the country. Mr. Clancy, (colored) of North Carolina, in seconding tlie nomination, said that with Blaine and Logan, his State could be carried for the party by 5,000. After further seconds from Georgia and Kentucky, a motion wa* made to .mapetid lb o'mite and make the nomination of Logan by acclamation. It was put to vote, and a majority voted for it. but a* a two-thirds vote was necessary, the Chair ordered the rolt called in order to ascertain the number. At the request of a delegate, who said there were others who wished to speak for Gen. Logan, the motion to suspend the rules was withdrawn. A GENERAL VIEW. The Interne Interest and Enthnalnsm of Delegates and Andienea Chicago, June (4—The proceeding* bv the convention to-day were accompanied by scenes of tnmultnous excitement. The interest in the balloting was little short ot a contagion. Inside the walls of the convention hall were fully 15,000 people, occupying every pouit from which a view of the scene was possible. It was a splendid-appearing audience, and picturesque, in view of the large body of ladies in bright costumes present. Preserving the decorum to be witnessed at ax opera during the progress of the ordinary event* of the day, it would suddenly lash itself ixto mad excitement, aud the great roar and abnfxhm of the multitude was of a nature which, could not help bur. stir the blood in the veins of the dxllest riod. These scenes awcuurwl whenever a full vote was announced, or ou the occasion of some State breaking, tor Blaine. OtebMe the convention wan another great, host of waitixg people, whose responsive shouts when the results of tke hallo to woe bulletined could be distinctly heard inside the great structure. The delirium, reached ite clixiax when Illinois jrfined thfv column of Blaine States, almost surely presaging victory for the Maine man. The hall fairly thundered ae the swaying audience gave vent to its fierce enthusiasm. Hatswant into the air, handkerchiefs were; waved frantically atol ther flags and decorations were torn from the face of the gallery and were made to cut their way through the air by the oceuwmto of the gaßery, who had seized upon them. When the excit emeu* had in a meaeuro spent itself, the gavel of the chairman would serve to bring out order, and the audience would relapse again into a condition of apparent repose, t<* be .succeeded again by season of excitement as the successive votes were announced. When the fourth baltottwaa finally declared, it was a. signal for a mighty cheer, and when the detonation of the artillery outside the building served to again remind them of the triumph achieved by the Blaine forces, the building rocked under the impulse and cheering o# their syurpafchiaers. Thu chawing for Artkur and Logan was hearty, but th* apex of enthusiasm wax touched only when the name of Blaine was aunndud, or his prospect of swccess seemed to increase. The Californians were generally the centre of thewhirlwind of excitement among the delegates.

Blaine, said: “Personally, I was in favor of Preridtent Arthur. T have never tried to conceal my preference, though l have nob gone through the streetsshouting for him. But Mr. Blaine is a great leader of tho Republican party, and we must submit to the will of the convention. Mr. B3aim* will undoubtedly mate an excellent candidate, and to my mind his election is already assured. I should very much have lilted to see tiie President nominated. He entered upon the duties of his office under the must trying circumstances, and lias fulfilled the trust placed upon him admirably. I know, from personal knowledge of Mr. Arthur, that his aim has been to unite all the factional elements of the party, and it is due to him that there was any contest in the convention, for I behave that if the Presidbut hats not been so successful i uniting the party it would have beeu difficult to find a man willing to accept sure dutoat. Thin evening, so soon after the nomination, I am. of course, somewhat disappointed, but I shall take off my coat and work for the success of the ticket to the best, of my ability, and I know that the President will do all in his power to secure the ideation of the ticket.” In reference to his own oxndiilacv. Mr. Lincoln says that, while he thanked those who had licuored hion with their votes, he had never been a candidate, and never expected to l>e. Upon the subject of tho Vice-presi-dency, he expressed tho opinion that tiie convention should nominate a man who could coin maud the support of the volunteer soldier*, aud added that he knew that General Gresham did uot want the place.
