CHICAGO.

The Most Notable Political Fi of the Period Ended. bt Senator GarfidM, of Ohio, ITamed ta Lsad Eadicalisn to Defeat in NoTember. Grant nod the Thlrl Term Conspiracy Detente! on the Tblrty-SIxtu The Chicago Convention has been la session every day since our last Issue. The ght between the Grant and the anti-Grant element continued desperate until tue thirty- sixth ballot was reached yesterday in the afternoon, when General Gat field, of Ohio, was nominated. He 1 a type of the most pronounced, repulslve and stalwart radicalism. He has advocated the presence of troops and supervisors at the polls. He was mixed up with the salary grab, and was smirched as fonllvwith "Credit Mobiller" as was Colfax The Cincinnati Convention will doubtless name a cand date who will sweep the new Ohio upstart from the politic 1 field. We give as follows the most notable speeches made at the Convention during the week, and other matters connected with the nomination. GRAST SOMINATED. The Secretary then proceeded with the call of the States, until New York was reached. As that State was called Senator Conkllng arose, amid loud cheering, and proceeded lowly to the reporter's piatform. Stepping upon a table, he waited quietly until the cheerio had ceased, and then spoke slowly and very deliberately as follows: conklisg's srzECH. "When asked whence comes our candllate? we say trom Appomattox Applause. Obeying instructions, 1 should nevfr dare 10 disregard, expressing bIto mv own firm conviction, I rise In behalf of the Sate of Sew York to propose a nomination with which the country and the Republican party can grandly win. The election before us will be the Austerlltz of American politic. It will decide whether, for vears to come, the country shall be Republican or Cossack. The need or the hour Js a candidate who can carry doubtful Stites, North and South, and believing that he moro than any other can carrv New York against any opponent, and cany not only th North, but several States of the South, New York Is lor Ulysses a. Grant. He a one ot living Republicans has can led NewY'orkaa a Presidential candidate. Once he can led It even according to a Damocratlo count, and twice he carried It by the people's votes, and he lsslronger now. The Republican party with Its standard In bis hand is stronger now than iu lstü or 1872. Never defeated In war or In peace, his iame 1s the most illustrious borne by living man. His services attest his greatness and the country knows them Oy heart. His tame was boru not atone or things written and said, but of tue arduous greatness of things doue, and dangers and emergencies will search la vaia in the future as they have searched iu vain in the past, for any oilier on whom the Nation leans with such confidence and trust. Standing on the hlghtst eminence of human distinction aud having filled all lands with bis renown moditt, firm, simple aud se!fpoised. not only the rich but the poor and, the lowly in the uttermost encs oi the earth rise and uncover before him. He has studied the needs and the defects of many systems cf Government, and he comes back a better American than ever, with a wealth of knowledge and experience added to the hard common sene which so conspicuously distinguished him in all the fierce light that beat upon him throughout the most eventful, trying and perilous sixteen years of the Nation's history. Never having had a polier toeuforce against the will of the people, be never betrayed a cause or a friend, and the people will never betray or desert blm. Vilified and revllsd ruthlessly, aspersed by numberless prnxes not In o'her lands, but in his own assaults upon him have strengthened and seasoned his bold on the public heart. The ammunition of calumny ha all been xploded; the powder basalt been bnrned. Once its force is snent, Grant's name will glitter as a bright and imperishible star in the diadem of the Republic wnen these wbo have tried to tarnish It have moluered in forgotten graves, and their memories' epitaohs have vanished utterly. Never elated by success, never depressed by adver8ity.be has ever, in peace as lu war, thown the very genius or common sense. The tertns he prescribed for Lee's surrender foreshadowed the wisest principles and prophecies or true reconstruction. Victoria the greatest of modern wars, he quickly signalized his aversion to war and his love of peace by an arbitration of International disputes, while he stands as the wisest and most majestic example of its kind in the world's diplomacy. Wnen Inflation, at the height of its peculiarity and frenzv, had swept both Houses of Congress, it was the veto of Grant which, single and alone, overthrew the expansion and cleared the way for specie resumption . To him Immeasurably more than to any other man Is iu the fact that every paper dollar is as good as gold. With him a our leader, we shall have no defensive campaign, no apologies or explanations to make. The snatts aud arrows have all been aimed at him, and they lie broken and harmless at his feet. Life, liberty, and nroDertr will find safeguards in him. When he said of the black men In Florida, "Whurever I am they may come also." he meant that be had the power to help the poor dwellers In the cabins of the South, who snouia not oe ariyea in terror iraui tue uoiues of their childhood and the graves of their mur dered dead. When he refused to receive Denis Kearney In California, he meant that lawless Communism, although It should die 'täte law to a whole city, everywhere would meet a foe In him, and that, popular or unpopular, he will hew to the line of right. let the cnips ny wnere tneymay. iininwg ritv. common sense, his courage and unequal ed expeiience, are the qualities offered to Iiis country. The uly argument against accepting them would amaze Solomon. He thought there could be nothing new under the sun. Having tried Grant twice and round him faithful, we are told we must not, even after an Interval of years, trust him again. What rstulfflcation does not such a fallacy 'Involve? The American : people ex elude JeQVrson Davis from pub"lla trust. Whv? Because he was the arch traitor, and would be destroyer; and now the same people are asked to ostracise Grant and not to trust him. Why? Because he was the - arch preserver of his country; because, not only in war, but afterward. Twice as a civil ' ' magistrate he gave his highest, noblest efforts . to the HepuDlie. is bucu aosuraiiy an eiec . tloneerluic luczle or hypocrisy mua- " nnerade? There Is no field of human activity, responsibility or reason In which rational being objects to an agent, because he had been weighed In the balance ana nut iouna warning, ana uecuuse , he hag unequaled experience, making him .

Who dares to nut fitters ou the irte choice ana judgment, which Istha birthright of the American peo ple Can it be said that Grant has used his ortleial nlace and power to perpetuate bis term?

Nobody Is really woiriftd about a third term, except those hopelessly longing for a first term and the dupes they have made without bureaus, committees, officials or emissaries to manufacture sentiment in hU favor, wltbout intrigue or effort on his patt. Grant Is the candidate whose supporters hae never threatened to bolt unless the Convention did as they said. He Is a Republican who never waveia. He and his friends stand by the creed and candidates of tue Republican party holding the rightlul rule of a majority as ttie very essence of their iaith and meaning to uphold that faith against the common enemy and the charlatans aud gutrillas, who irom time to tlm9 deploy between the lines and forage on the one side or the other. The Democratic party is a standing protest against progress, lis purpose its spoils; its nope and veiy existence is a solid Sou'h. Is success Is a menance to prosperity ani order. This Convention is master or a supreme opportunity. It can name the next President of the United States and make sure of his election and peacetul Inauguration. It cn break the power which dominates and mildews tbe South. It can speed the Nation lu a career of grandeur eclipsing all past achievements. v'e have only to listen above the din and look beyoad the dust of an hour to behold the Republican party advancing to victory with Its greatest marshal at Its head. Tremendous applause.

We want one who will act In no spirit of nnklndness toward those we lately met In battle.

Applause lastlag several minutes. F. C. Winkler, of Wisconsin, and R. B. Ehiott, of South Carolina, made tpeeches sec onding Sherman's nomination. The latter asserted that the Republican party need not lit any event exject h single electoral vote from a stvesoutn of Masou and Dixon s Hoe: that altbouKh manvof the "outheru Sta'es bad Republican majorities, yet it was Impos sible to secure the facts of their superior num bers at the baiiot-oox. Twenty-right Ballots Taken Without Any Kesult. Chicago, June 7. The fifth day's session of the Republican convention negn nearly an hour late at 10:4 with President Hoar iu the cbair.

The Chairman announced that all the rail roads had extended the limit of tickets for tbe return of delegates to their homes, so that they might ue their return tickets wlthlr. a day alter the clote of the Convention, when ever that mlaht be. The Reading Clerk read the fl 111 and sixth resolations of the platform, by rtquts. of fome delegates who had misapprehended their purport. M0TI0S TO GO TO BALLOTING. Mr. Hale moved that the Convention proceed, under the rules, to ballot for a candidate for President. Mr. Conkllng Inquired whether it was not a "matter of course that we now proceed to bal lot without any resolution?" The Cbair did not so understand. Mr. Conk. lug said then be seconded the motion. The Chair, before putting the motion, said this was a most Important act. Iu scarcely any country ould it be done without blood shed and strire; here it might be d ine with decorum. In peace and in order. He alluded to the Impression which would be prodnoed on those living on or near our borders, if the work of nominating a Chief Magistrate be conducted with peace, with dignity, with quiet Applause. The Chair, thertfiiie, trusts that eveiy gentleman present, whether a member of the Convention or here as witness of Its proceedings, will feel that the character of his countrj' Is affected by the propi iety and order of his cond uct. t.neers. I GETTINi; DOWN TO WORK. Tbe vote was then taken, and it was unanimously decided to proceed to a vote.

When New York was called. Conkllng stated it would be bitter that the roll be called for New York, as under instructions of the State Convention lie was required to cast the vote of the fjjate as a unit, but tbe rule adopted by this Convention required a different course, and he could ree no lair way nnini toe uiiucuuy out uy tou-chii. The Chairman announced that unless there was objection he would instruct the Clerk to call the roll of individual members. This was done, and each delegate from NewY'ork gave his vote orally.

Commenting on the anti-Chinese plank Incorporated In the report of the committee on Platform of the Chlcazo Convention, the- Call, after noting me resolutions which tbe Pacific Coast delegates proposed, says: "This plank which the Committee thought to be radical, uoes not meet the emergency. Its insertion in the nlat form, would not bind the party to any action, except as can betaken with consent, of the Chinese Government, n recognises tne evils of the existing treaties, bat does not say what should be done lf me Chinese Govern ment refuses to nullify the treaty article Then it quotes the plank as adopted by the Committee, and continues: "If this is the best the Chicago Convention can do lor me racive Coast, it may save Itself the trouble of doing anything successful. The campaign can be conducted on this resolution only In the eyent of there being no chance of beine better." Tbe cnronicie says of tne CAitioruia resolution : 'There is nothing rank in mis.

This vote actoally represents tbe sen- , tlmentof every PciSo tale and Territory, and any contempt of it. manifested by" any national political Convention, will surely be resented at the poh' next November ay Oregon and Nevada, as wert as California. 'in party thn enppor the- spirit of thiPayre resolutioa with the most vhrer an-i-sincerity is the winning nart-r of tbe trea-' ent and fnture years, from the 14 raits of uca to the Gulf of California, and from the seashore to the Rocky Mountains." The Bulletin this afternoon will say the second phase which tSe plank in relation to tbe Chtneae. has been rtade toniime. is more ob jectionable than the first.. It reduces the objection to the Chinese to a tingle one, tbat they do not become citizen. 3fo other inter- . p relation can be placed on the-langwtge of t lie . rrsoJullon. If Hie Chinese should rresent themelves lu larce numbers and apply for naturalization me Republican party, under this plank, would ba bvand to take- no further steps against them. This , must not be regarded so much as an effort to carry water on both ahoaUlers, as a deliberate all erupt to. bortawinli the ceoule of the Pacrlüc States to their faces. The art icle then goes on to picture the evils that would follow the admission to citizenship of tbe Cbiuese, and concludes: -lt Is to behoved. therefoierthat the Republican National Con vention will not inflict upon ns the gratuitous Insult of pas jog all cur objections to the Chi- ' neseontne fact tbat thty have not heretofore een anxious to become citizens. That is an objection which might easily be removed, on the face of which none of the Eastern philanthropists seem to anticipate. If common sense prevails tbis p-ank wlli be considerab.'jr modified to-day." MORKISTOWX. A Fatal rigit at Freeport One Man Killed and Two Others Wounded.
