Too Tired to Keep I. p the Fight Gen. liarrison Wiaa the Battle. Convention Hall, Chicago, 111., June 25. Special. Harrison's nomination was an act of desperation. As John S. Clarkson Ot Iowa put it in explaining the withdrawal of Allison's name, "the con- .. , vention was tired out, the party was tired out, the country was getting disgusted and the deadlock had to be broken." Ali lison's withdrawal was finally decided up on this morning before the convention assembled. His candidacy was clearly hopeless asChauncey Depew and other representatives of the corporations bar served notice that no man from a grange state could be nominated and that settle it. When the convention assembled it wa generally understood that the "Blaine c busters" had thrown up their hands, anthat the contest had narrowed down t Harrison and Sherman. The New Yorl delegation agreed to stand by the forme for two ballots, and longer if his nomina tion seemed practicable. If not its sever-ty-two votes would go to Sherman fo; a couple of ballots. So, by a process of elimination, the field was narrowed down to Harrison and Sherman. California made the decisive break vhen it dropped Elaine and went to Harisoa. The latter is not popular on the sloe on account of his record on the Chinese question, but as between him and Sherman the Californians could not hesitate because Sherman is the most cordially hated man on the coast. So of two evj's it chose what it conceived to be the '.esr and practically settled the nomination. Connecticut and New Je rsey fell into Tine, and thus the deal which was made last Friday, and which Steve Elkins brcke up Saturday, was finally consummate.Tin the Harrison nomination, which has fallen fiat. The demonstration in the Auditorium was extremely tame, and very iittle enthusiasm has been shown aivwhere. 77 FRED DOUGLASS. Thoughtful and level-headed men admit that he is a weak candidate and evidently have little hope of his election. They Bay, however, that New York and Indiana Jiaving made the ticket, the responsibility rests with them. Levi P. Morton's selection for the eecond place instead of Fhelps was not in accordance with the programme as laid out last Friday night. But Morton's bar'l is even larger than Phelps' and nobody puts much faith in the latter's claim that he could carry New Jersey, which is almost as certainly democratic a3 Kentucky. lie sides, it was seen that Thelps nomination would be accepted by the country as a formal abandonment of New York, which would be equivalent to giving up the fight in advance. So little Willie AValter, bangs and all, was ruthlessly thrust aside and Ix?vi P. Morton M-as put on the ticket. He will not strengthen it in New York or anywhere else, but he wont make such an absurd candidate as Phelps would have been. Harrison and Morton, although they represent Indiana and New York, r.re a weak combination, and it is pretty safe to predict that they will not carry one of the so-called doubtful states. S. E. M. A VICTIM OF CIRCUMSTANCES. The Eighth Rallot of the "Weary Delegates Shows lp for Harrison. Chicago, June 25. A man named Lucky started the voting to-day that placed Benjamin Harrison in nomination as the republican candidate for the presidency of the United States. The Lucky vote broke Sherman's Ohio phalanx on the first ballot of the day. Ou the next ballot, to the surprise of nine-tenths of the thousands of people present in the convention, Chauncey M. Depew cast the solid vote of New York for Harrison. II had done the same on the first ballot, but comparatively few believed that he would do it again when the real pinch came. Creed Haymond had preceded Depew by giving Harrison virtually the whole vote of California. This was quite generally regarded as merely a new part of the exlraordinary see-saw tactics of Elaine's friends during the past week or more. Little importance waa attached to a couple of cablegrams from Mr. Blaine read to the convention just as the balloting was about to commence. The general comment was that tho messages did not alter the fcituatioa a parti-

Ä i I, A A TS aB)yn8 uuik oi nie m The nomination of Morton to-night was a foregone conclusion, regarded as a cer the convention to order at 10:03 than it has been at any time since lie lost his power of audibly expressing himself. After waiting aljout a minute for the inevitable settling down from confusion into order, he said: "The convention will listen to prayer by the Iiev. Dr. Arthur Edwards of Chicago, editor of the Sörthuetttrn VhiMlan Aft rotate." Mr. Doutelle took the platform and spoke as follows : I find myself somewhat embarrassed in beinn thrown even into a eemblanoe of antairont0, tlie representatives of that delegation from the great I'aeihe slope, who have come iiere Eianitestin?; such a devotion to a chieftain whose banner I have followed with pride and atlection these many years, i wouiu iikp, were the occasion appropriate and did I feel it proper, in view of the courtesy to which I am indebted fur an appearance here at all, to preface the announcement that I am to make by some explanatory remarks. I shall not attempt to do so. Not one in this great convention, no one in this magnificent auditorium has any doubt as to where the affection, the devotion and the allegiance of the republicans of Maine has been and always will be. Applause. o deletrate here will doubt the regret with which I discharge the duty imposed upon me. But, Mr. President and gentlemen of the convention. I am under a constraint which 1 do not feel at liberty to ignore; and, without attempting to give constructions or interpretations of my own to the lanpuaee of one j;r'ater than myself by far, I discharge my humble duty as a representative of the Maine delegation, by reading to you, without preface or comment, the following dispatches which I have received at this point tiere was some applause and cries of "order!" The Chairman "The sergeant-at-arms will be compelled to keep order in the galleries to-day. Unless the galleries, and especially those back of the chair, keep more quiet to-day when important business will be done by the convention some steps of a more serious character to succeed in doing so will have to be taken." Applause Mr. Boutelle continued: I read to the convention for their information, as I have received them, these dispatches : Edinbcro, June CI, IMS. To Boutelle and Manley, Maine delegation, Chicago: Earnestly request all my friends to respect my Paris letter. Blaine. Applause. That dispatch was received last night. This morning I have received the following: Eoinbcro, June 2.. To Boutelle and Manley, Maine delegation, Chicago: I think I have the right to ak my friends to respect my wislios and refrain from TOtini? for me. i'leax make thU and former dispatch public promptly. . James O. Ulaixe. Cheers. The Chairman "Gentlemen of the convention The regular order of business will to the calling of the roll by states for the selection of a nominee for president. Mr. Clerk, will you call the roll. I wish to say this, however, that the sergeant-at-arms will please see that the aisles are kept clear, and that order is observed, and in regard to the galleries, unless there is order some serious steps will have to be taken." The result of the sixth ballot was announced by the secretary as follows: Whole number of votes cast, 8.'0.

Or absent. After the announcement the chairman said: "No candidate having received the majority of the votes of this convention, the clerk will call the roll again." During' the seventh ballot, when Alabama was called, that state was not ready to vote, and it was therefore passed for a short time. At 11 :57 the secretary started in again, but there was so much confusion that the chairman Mas impelled to pay : "May not the chair ask the delegates to please be seated?" After a pause he continued: "And let tho delegates be seated. Ve will not proceed until the convention is in order." The convention finally being in order, the call proceeded as far aa California, when Creed llaymond stood up and asked : "Is this the roll-call ?" "This is the roll call," replied the chairman. "The state of California," said Mr. llaymond, "casts sixteen votes for the grandson of the hero of Tippecanoe," upon which there was an outburst of cheers, which extended to other parts of the convention than that in which California was situated. Jiefore the excitement had spread very far, Mr. Gage of dhe California delegation, jumped up and fchouted at th) chairman : "1 don't vote for Harrison. There is a mistake in the vote. I demand a call of the roll of that täte." - ' The result of the seventh ballot was annouaced aa follows: Total number of. votes

When "Wisconsin announced twentytwo votes solid for Harrison, a man in the 6TEVE ELKINS. poutheast gallery raised a tremendous laugh by emitting a howl that was simply territlic. The vote then ran along, all for Harrison, until Wyoming finally announced two votes for the general. When Wyoming's vote was taken every one knew that Harrison had been nominated, and without waiting for the formal announcement of the vote the convention and the audience jumped up to make the customary demonstration. From various parts of the hall sprang into view national flags, umbrellas constructed of muslin of red, white and blue, immense fans f various colors and streamers of all kinds. The band helped the enthusiasm with "Hail to the Chief." "Star Spangled lanner"and "MarchingThrough Georgia." After ten minutes the chairman's gavel and the remonstrance of a number of the delegates brought the convention again to order, and the chair announced that the ballot would lie repeated for verification. The chair paid it was merely to compare the results from each state so there could le no mistake. A verification was the universal practice in the past. There had been no mistake, and the totals were then read by the secretary as follows: Alger 100, Gresham 50, Harrison "41 applause, Sherman IIS, Blaine 5, McKinlev 4.

Foraker of Ohio was recognized by the chairman and advanced to the platform were he was received with cheers, and sjoke as follows: Mr. President and Gentlemen of the Convention The delegation from Ohio came here nil Sherman men.- They are now all Harrison men. Applause. It is easy for us to he bo when we rcmeinher that Gen. Harrison had the good sense to be bora in Ohio. I Laughter and applause. I ara directed by the unanimous vote of the Ohio delegation to move the convention on behalf of the state of Ohio that the nomination of Benjamin Harrison be rrnvle unanimous. Several delegates cried "second the motion". Mr. Horr of Michigan was given the floor at this point. He said: Gentlemen of the Convention I came here hoping that this convention would nominate one 01 Michigan's gons to the presidency. It has failed to do 0. Laughter. If you want to know how we in Michigan will ßtand by (ten. Harrison, just think how we have stood by Gen. Alger. Applause.

Now let us go home and ratify the nomination of this convention; and in order to do that, Michigan unanimously supports the motion to make this a unanimous vote. At this point Senator Farwell of Illinois stood up on his chair to address the convention, and there were cries of "platform, platform." He, however, remained standing where he was, and spoke as follows : I do not intend to make a speech. We have had speeches enough already. Illinois will give her electoral vote to Gen. Harrison and directs me to second the motion to make the nomination of Gen. Harrison unanimous. Applause and a cry of, "Bully for Gresham." The Chairman "Gentlemen of the convention, shall the nomination of Gen. Harrison" Some delegates here attempted to get the floor; cries of "question. The Chairman "Gentlemen of the convention, no further business will be done until the announcement of the question. Cries of "question," "question.'' Shall the nomination of Gen. Benjamin Harrison as the candidate for president of the United States be made unanimous?" A delegate from Mississippi here made fran

tic exertions to secure the attention of the chair. The Chairman "Those In favor of the motion will say aye, those opposed no." The motion was unanimously carried, no one answering when the chairman gave the opportunity to any 60 disposed to vote in the negative. The Chairman-"I declare Benjamin Harrison to be the unanimous nominee of the national republican convention for the position of president of the United States. The next order of business is the presentation of candidates for vice-president of the United States, and the roll of states will Ihj called by the clerk for the presentation of candidates." When Xew Jersey was called Senator Sewell stated that it" was the intention of the New Jersev delegation to present the name of William AValter Phelps for tho vice-presidential nomination. There would be, he said, some brief seconding speeches and as the members of the convention were tired, he would move a recess until o'clock. This motion was at 3 :üö agreed to. THE EVENING SESSION. Levi of New York Chosen for Running Mate to Benjamin of Indiana. Chicago, June 25.-That the interest in the convention had almost entirely died away with the presidential nomination today was manifested this evening by the array of empty scats in the galleries, which previously have presented an attractive picture of handsome toilets and kaleidoscopic colors. The members of the various delegations wero early in their places, evidently anxious to complete their business and return to their respective homes. This afternoon Samuel L. Fassenden, chairman of the Connecticut delegation, sent to the republican clubs of Connecticut the following dispatch: "The nomination of Harrison means victory in November." The convention reassembled at C:15 and proceeded to the regular order, the presentation of names for the vice-presiden tial nomination. Mr. Griggs of New Jersey presented the name of William Walter Phelps. He claimed that New Jersey was as much a necessary state as Indiana. By the action of the convention this afternoon the fifteen electoral votes of Indiana had been added to the votes of the surely republican states, and if to these were added the votes of New Jersey, the election of the republican ticket was assured. William Walter Phelps was not in favor of a policy which would take the roof olf the laboring man, but in favor of that system which proposed to put a roof 'over the laboring man of the United States, and make him the owner of his own. With the nomination of Mr. Phelps the republican party secured the electoral votes of New Jersey and probably those of New York and Connecticut. The ticket for New Jersey was Harrison and Phelps; Harrison against Cleveland, New York's fetish of the democracy; against Thurman, the reminiscence of dead political heresies, would be placed Phelps, the live aggressive man of to-day ; and against the old gbandana would Le placed the starry Hacj of America. Applause. Mr. Gibson of Ohio, in seconding the nomination of Mr. Phelps, said he was the survivor of eleven political campaigns and was wild for the twelfth. Applause. Mr. Phelps was an accomplished gentleman and a tried statesman, and if the ticket was Harrison and Phelps it would carry Indiana anil New Jersey dead sure, and he would take the word of Mr. Hepew it would carry New York. The republicans proposed to carry the solid North and pluck from the democracy Kentucky, Tennessee and West Virginia. Applause. Mr. Ügan of Nebraska earnestly seconded the nomination of Mr. Phelps. Mr. Oliver of Iowa congratulated the convention on having secured one strategic point by the nomination of Mr. Harrison and he argued that it would le a wise move to capture a second strategic point by the nomination of Mr. Phelps, for the second place on the ticket. Mr. Rosenthal of Texas, on behalf of tho German-Americans of the United States paid a high tribute to Mr. Phelps, whose nomination he seconded. With a soldier like Harrison at the head of the ticket and a statesman like Phelps in the second place, victory was sure. Applause. Mr. Fuller of North Carolina, seconded the nomination in the name of the young and progressive republicans of North Carolina. Applause. Mr. Boutelle of Maine, paid a high tribute to .Mr. Phelps, for his ability, Iiis patriotism and his tried and proved republicanism. AVilliam AValter Phelps could carry the banner of the republican party to victory in New Jersey if any man living could do it. Applause. There being no further seconding of Mr. Phelps, the call of states was continued, and when New York was called Senator Warner Miller responded. He referred (and the audience greeted the reference with wann applause) to the candidacy of Mr. Depew for the presidential nomination, and he said that that gentleman's name had been withdrawn in sorrow, but not in anger. Applause. He assured tho convention that though the republican party had often been divided, the factions had been in harmony in action in Chicago. The candidate whom New York proposed to present for the vice presidency was a man with whom he (Miller) had crossed swords. If the convention would concede to the wish of New York and give her this man as its candidate for vice president their sword would only be drawn in the common cause applause, and he (Miller) could give the convention the same pledge for every section and faction of the partv in the state, all represented here to-nigiit. By its action to-day the convention has made it possible for the republicans to carry Indiana; by its further action it dould make it possible to carry New York. Applause. This jrrcat battle was to be fought out in New York. The democratic party had thrown down the gage of battle, and if the convention would help the republicans of New York they would carry the tight to a successful conclusion. If the New York delegates were refused the boon, they would go home anil . do all that mortal men could, but they would go home sick at heart and dicCOuriiioL. lie appealed to the conven

tion to hear the voice of New York. If the convention would name to-night the man of their choice, they would go home and they would inscribe upon their banners: American AVages for American AVorkingmen ; American Markets for the American People and Protection for American Homes," and in this sign they could not be defeated. In behalf of the united delegation from the state of New York, aye, in behalf of the united republican party of the state of New York, he named the Hon. Levi P. Morton. Senator Miller's speech was delivered with great earnestness and with great force. He was frequently interrupted by applause. His statements as to the special reasons why New York should have the vice presidential nomination were cheered lustily. AVhen he had concluded there was a wild outburst of applause, the demonstration continuing for , several minutes, and almost eclipsed the demonstration which occurred when Harrison was nominated. Mr. Gage of California seconded Senator Miller's nomination of Morton. He said that the convention had been gathered not in the interest of of any one man, but in the interest of the party, and it was now a question of the best to be done for success next fall. He believed that the nomination of Harrison had made Indiana certainly republican now. This was a chance to name a candidate for vice-president who could with Harrison make New York certain. Levi P. Morton could poll moro votes on the Pacific coast than any other living American except that great commoner James G. Blaine. He heartily seconded the nomination of Mr. Morton. Gov. Foster of Ohio also seconded the nomination of Mr. Morton. He said that the hopes of his state had been shattered, but Ohio would heartily support the ticket. He lelicved that it was good politics to nominate Levi P. Morton for vice-president, as it would assure the success of the ticket beyond a doubt. He believed that eight years ago the nomination of Arthur had made victory sure, because it had assured victory in New York. Let the party now profit by that example and now do the same wise thing, and name Mr. Morton for second place. Mr. Oliver of South Carolina also seconded Mr. Morton's nomination. Mr. Hallowell of Kansas briefly but earnestly seconded the nomination. Gen. Hastings of Pennsylvania forcibly seconded Mr. Morton in a short, ringing speech. Pennsylvania, he said, instructed him to sav that it believed that the battlefield would be in New Y'ork, and that the second 6tate in the union should reach out her hands to the great Empire state of the union and give her help. Loud applause. As God lived, Harrison and Morton would be victorious. Applause. Mr. Simms of Virginia rose to second Fhelps' nomination. He said that Virginia had not occupied much of the time of the convention. Laughter. She had been first in war here more laughter and he hoped that now that there was peace she would again emulate the career of the father of his country. He had always admired AVilliam AValter Phelps since his college days. Another candidate had been lauded for his generosity, but who wa3 more generous than AVilliam AA'alter Phelps, who had given a whole town to Texas and who was second to no man in the United States in these generous qualities which excite the admiration of the world. New York asked for Morton as a boon. Well, the convention had given New York a big boon. It had pointed the way and given seventy-two votes for Harrison, and we had gone" over and nominated him. Now, give us the little boon we ask for; give us AVilliam AValter Phelps. Mr. Marsh of Illinois rose to second the nomination o: Mr. Morton, saying that Illinois proposed to do for the doubtful state of New York what she had already done for the doubtful state of Indiana. Applause. Gen. Chalmers of Mississippi gave his political history and explained how it was that he had left the democratic party, with its hide-bound notions, to join the party of progress. He was not in favor of selecting a Southern republican for the second place on the ticket. That would be like the charge at Balaklava. It might lj grand but it would not be politics. Applause. AVisdora, policy and the best interests of the suffering people of the South demanded a man from New York to stand with the man from Indiana. Applause. A cursorv remark which Mr. Chalmers made to the efl'ect that half of the Mississippi delegation was composed ex-confederate soldiers was wildly applauded. Mr. Treat of Delaware said that teh little state of Delaware felt proud that it had brought its few sheaves of wheat and laid them at the feet of the distinguished statesman from Indiana. Now they had heard the cry from New York and it had better be heeded. The party wanted to win and it was best now that the convention had begun well that it should end well. 1 le was afraid that a further continuation of democractic rule might endanger the fish and oysters of Delaware. He seconded the nomination of Morton. He wanted to get Delaware out of the pawnshop of Saulsbury and Bayard, and the way to do it now was to name men who are sure to win in this contest. Mr. McFlwee of Tennessee in a brief speech presented the name of AVilliam K. Moore of that state as a nominee for the vice-presidency. Mr. Speers of North Carolina created the sensation of the evening by a humor

ous speech, which was highly appreciated by the audience, and for which he was warmly applauded. Standing upon his chair he declared this to be the proudest hour of his life, a confession which called forth bursts of laughter. After this it was with difficulty that the speaker proceeded, for he was incessantly interrupted with laughter and cries of "AVhat'g the matter with Speer?" "He's all right." He was finally about to make understood to the convention that he favored the selection of the gentleman of "magnaminous magnamimity" Levi P. Morton. Laughter. Mr. Chandler of Mississippi seconded tho nomination of Mr. Moore. The roll-call of the states was completed and the convention was about to proceed to a ballot when Mr. Moore -withdrew his own name. He said he wanted no oflice, but desired to see that political incubus removed from the white house; to have that great Jumbo, that clumsy behemoth of bourbon democracy who occupied the place of power at AVashington abolished from that high station. The first and only ballot for vice-president resulted as follows: Morton 591, Phelps 119, Bradley 103, Bruce 11, AA'alter Thomas 1. Mr. Denny of Kentucky, moved that Mr. Morton s nomination be made unanimous. Senator Sewell of New Jersey, seconded the motion, and promised the full and hearty support of Mr. Phelps to the ticket. The motion was agreed to and the chair declared that Morton was the nominee of the convention for vice-president. On motion of Gen. Hustedof New York the national committee was directed to provide in its call four years hence, that the territory of Alaska shall have two delegates to the convention. Mr. Boutelle of Maine then arose and said in behalf of a large number of delegates he desired to move to suspend the rules and adopt a resolution to be added to the republican platform. Mr. Oliver of Pennsylvania arose to a point of order that it was not in order to oiler a resolution at this time. The chairman stated that Mr. Boutellc's motion, was one to euc-pend Ute rules

Then Boutelle proceeded to talk in regard to the firesides of the nation, when an objection was made that debate was not in order. The chair sustained this point hut stated that it was in order for the frnt Ionian from Maine to read the n solution for information. But to this there was a chorus of objections, and Mr. Oliver of Pennsylvania, standing on his chair and gesticulating wildly, declared that all resolutions should be referred to the committee on resolutions. "Stand by your colors," he yelled amid a storm of cheers and hisses. " Shouts of "put him out," "sit down," "shut up," came in chorus from the galleries and hard blood was being enge ndered amid the wildest confusion. The chair became anfrrj- an1 commanded the gentleman to take bis seat, stating that if he did not do so instantly the sergeant-at-arms would be directed to take him into custody. "There is going to be order here" declared the chair, but the round of cheers which greeted the declaration rather weakened its strength. For some minutes all was chaos; the gavel of the chairman sounded an incessant rataplan, the gentleman from Pennsylvania stood on his chair and shouted, the galleries yelled, and cheered, and hissed while the numerous sergrants-ct-arms were utterly powerless to check the uproar. In the confusion, Mr. Johnstone of Xew York, sought to get the rloor, and Mr. Husted raised the point of order that nothing could be done except to vote upon the motion to suspend the rules, and that Mr. Boutelle had no right to proceed either with a speech or to read the resolution. The chair ruled that the point of order was not well taken. Then, amid further confusion, Mr. Oliver of Pennsylvania, wildly appealed to the chair and created a scene of great confusion. He gesticulated, and would not take his scat at the chair's request. He did not desire to have the resolution read. The chair sent down tho sergeant-at-arms to Mr, Oliver, who succeeded finally in getting that gentleman to take his seat. A delegate appealed from the chair's decision, but his appeal M as not seconded. Senator Hiscock said that it was absolutely Continued on Sixth Pape.
