Governor Foraker then took the platform amid enthusiastic cheers and said: ‘“GENTLEMEN OF THE CONVENTION: The delegation from Ohio came here all Sherman men; they are now all Harrison men. [Applause.] It is easier for us to be so when we remember that General 'Harrisoa had the good sense to beé born in Ohio. [Laughter.] I am directed by the unanimous vote of the Ohio delegation to move the convention, on behalf of the State of Ohio, that the nomination of General Benjamin Harrison’ be made unanimous.” ‘[Applause.] Mr, Horr, of Michigan, seconded Governor Foraker's motion. He hoped that the convention would be unanimous. ‘ But,” he said, ‘“we will stand by Harrison just as firmly as we ‘have stood by Alger. Some people did not think that we knew every thing, but I think that I can see the hand of Providence in this nomination. We hoped to place a soldier at the head of the ticket. The convention has done it: now let us go-home and ratify it.”’ Senator Farwell, on behalf of Illinois, also seconded the motion of Governor Foraker. Chauncey M. Depew also seconded Foraker’s motion. He said that this convention would adjourn in a different temper' from any other conventionin a quarter of a century. No can didate before the convention expected to ' succeed, and no one was disappointed. The capdidates would g 0 away without heart-burnings, but as full of enthusiasm as they were when they came here. New York was the cosmopolitan State of the Union. Men of other States, whenever they got too big for their own commouwealth, went o New York, and When New York found a man too large for his own commenwealth, and he would not move, she adopted him. New York had adopted Benjamin Harrison, and voted for him solidly. ' &Applause.] In conclusion Mr. Depew predicted an old-time victory for Republicanism, ‘for Republican principles and for the salvation .of the industrial interests of the country. [Applause.] £ General Hastings, of Pennsylvania, said that he was also authorized to second the motion to make the nomination unanimous. Pennsylvania, he said; had 100,000 majority for any Republican candidate, apnd it has that, and perhaps moré. for Harrison. Mr. Henderson, of lowa, also seconded the motion. Mr. Boutelle, of Maine, gave assurance of the heartiness, cord:ulity and enthusiasm Wwith which the people of Maine would ratify General Benjamin Harrison. He promised that the old refrain would come down from Maine as it did in days gone by, when another Harrison was in the field.

*“Oh! Have you heard from Maine? i She went hell-bent s For Governor Kent | And Tippecanog and Tyler tool” He promised his State.to the Renublican party, and declared that in the forefront of battie would be found gleaming, as it had in every critical fight of the Republican party, the white plume of ‘our Henry of Navarre. Creed Haymond; of California, .and Senator Davis, of Minnesota, seconded the motion to make the nomination unanimous. The clerk then read the following: : ’ . *DETROIT, Mich., June 25.—Hon. Morris M.

It was seconded by # large number of States and was carried unanimously.: = ' A motion made bv Senator Farwell was put and carried that a committee, comprising dele-. gates from each State. with Chairman Estee a 2 .chairman, be appointed to officially inform the candidates of their nominations. The gerson—nel of this committee was left to the judgment of the delegations. s 1 Uﬁ?n the motion of Mr. Houston, of New York, it was decided that Alaska should four years hence be represented in the convention by two delegates. ; g ; I By suggestion of Senator Hoar, of Massachiisetts, each delegation will hand to the secietary its selection for National committee man.. : THE CLOSING SENSATION. S At this juncture the imposing figure of Congressman Boutelle appeared on the stage. Being recognized, he moved the suspension of the rulés in’ order to introduce a resolution which, he stated, he believed should be incorporated in the piatform of the party. He hold in his hand a folded piece of yellow paper, and in stead of at once passing the resolution to the chairman, began an address without defining the nature of his proposition. Said he:

** The Regublican party Dbelieves in the protection of the ballot, in the protection of American industries, ‘and also in the protec-. tion of the sancity and purity of the Lome. The foundation of the . party is the sobriety, mora'ity and virtue of ' the common people. The Republican party sprang into existence as a- champion of moral reform in the United States of America. It stands today, if it stands for any thing, as the standard bearer of every principle that tends to elevate our ecommon humanity and eradicate the evils that threaten the body politic.” £ He got no further. At this point Delegate; Oliver, of Pennsylvania, raised a point of order, and for the next twenty minutes pandemonium existed ip the hall. - Mr, Boutelle attempted to proceed, but the noise drowned his voice. He maintained his position, however and would not down. Mr. Oliver's point was that under the rules the resolution should have been presented to the proper committee, and that the platform having been adopted it was now too late to injeot any resolution whatever. He was hissed from all points of the house. but never flinched. The chair pounded for order, and requested the irate Pennsylvanian to allow Boutelle to explain the resolution. Oliver positively refused to heed the suggestion of the chair, and from his chair shouted: *‘l tell you this sort of thing is wrong. You have made youl!t" platform, now be men enough to stick by " % 3 ohe i . ‘ i Chairman Estee then told Oliver that if he did not sit down ne should order him into custody., At this. several of General Fitz Simons’ deputiesstarted for the Pennsylvania delegation, and the body of the convention was a howling ‘mob of exXcited _geople, the hubbub being increased by isses from the galleries and calls of **Put him out.” 'The situation was becoming serious,’ when Oliver’s friends pulled him down into his seat, before the sergeant-at-arms reached him. At this interesting moment Mr. Leland, of Missouri, moved that the convention adjourn sine die, but this proposition was howled down. The chairman finally regained partial quiet, and ruled that Mr. Boutelle could read his resolution, but that he would not allow him to debate it. 'The row xroke out afresh. Oiiver again took the floor and was declared out of order. The chair ordered the sergeant-at-arms ! to do his duty and arrest Oliver, but he was not brought to the ' bar, although surrounded by deputies, Johnson, of New York, tried to make himself heard. and a deputy was ordered to take him into custody. Nobody but Governor Porter, Senators Hoar and Hiscock knew the text of Boutelle's resolution, and the convention became a bear garden before the Maine- man- had an opportunity to read it. In 'the midst of the, riot Mr. Husted .of New | York, was r%cognized. His, point of order was that no person but the original mover of the resolution had any right at that time to speak to it. He was sustained by the chair. Then a Nebraska delegate appealed from ttga decision of the chair, and a wild scene of disorder took - place. Johnson, of New York, was excitedly swinging his arms about, half the&deleﬁates were upon their feet, gesticulating and shout-. ing, and Chairman Estee was contributing to the din by plying his gavel with ‘all his strength. Finally Senator Hiscock was recognized and made a successful effort to pour oil on the troubled Wwaters by suggesting that Boutelle -be allowed to read his resolution. The Senator from New York did not believe thé party was afraid to meet any issue, and suggested that the delegates should quietly hear whatv. this 'suggested plank in the platform was. Boutelle then unfolded his mysterious roll of paper, and in a loud voice read the following: *“Resolved, That the first concern of all ‘good governments is the sobriety and virtue of the jome, G S ‘ Resolved, That the Republipan party cordlally sympathizes with all wise and well directed efforts for the promotion of temperance and morality.” . & : It was over in a minute, and, Oliver, who it was said was afraid the resolution reéferred to the modiflcat.iolt_:G of the tariff plank already adopted, appeared satisfied. Instantly from every part of the house seconds to the resolution began to be made, and, upon motion of Senator Hiseock, the rules were suspended, an;l the resolution passed without & dissenting voice, :

ADJOURNMENT. ! Senator Hiscock moved.that the conyvention adjourn without day, but gave way to Senator Hoar, who mounted the platform and moved the adoption of a resolution of thanks to both the temporary and permanent officers, and all the other officers for the fairness and promptness with which they had performed their duties. This was done, and at precisely seven minutes to 9 Chairman Estee _put the motion to adjourn.’ It carried, an(d the great convention came to an end. ‘ / BENJAMIN HARRISON ] Benjamin Harrison, of Indianapolis,s was born at North Bend, Hamilton County, 0., August 20, 1833; received a classical education, graduating at Miami University, “Oxford, 0., in 1852; studied law at Cincinnati, O.: removed in March, 1854, to Indianapolis, where he has since resided and has been engaged in the. practice of the law; was -elected 1n Qctober, 1860, by the ;peop‘le.

m&m&a’fw ~ Lost, and Property Damaged to the Ex- _ tend of Over §2,000,000 by the Recent _ St. Lotss, June 27.—A dispatch from El Paso, Tex., says information has beenreceived there from the flooded district in Mexico that 1,500 lives were lost by theinundation and that 1,000 bodies have been recovered. Leon isa city of 100,000 inhabitants, and a large part of it is in ruins. The Mexican Collector of Customs at Paso Del Norte received an official dispatch stating that 100 miles of the Mexican Central - railroad is impassable ancG that it will be ten days before mails can get through' and twenty days before freight can be moved. . City or MEexloo, June 27.—Telégraphic commupication, which has been interrupted for several days by the floods, has been restored, and the particulars of the terrible disaster on the line of the Mexican Central railway, particularly at Leon and Silao, are obtained. During the past ten days the table lands between Lere and Zacatecas have been visited by unprecedented rains. Every mountain rivulet along the Centrail railway for more than two hundred 'miles has _been converted = into a @ destructive tor-. rent, and-: the valleys present the appearance, of lakes. = Many cities and towns have been inundated, and Leon and Silao have been partially destroyed. The first intimation received in this city of the disaster in the North was a telegram fromSilao, dated the 18th inst. It said: “Jt commenced raining heavily here yesterday -afternoon, and continued .all night, raising the. Silao river out of its“banks, breaking at the north end of the town and passing fhrough the streets with irresistible force and volume. Most houses hére being of’adobe, as soon as they were saturated with water they began to fall. About 825 houses have been destroyed. The station -buildings are occupied by homeless people, who are unable to obtain _any thing to eat-except watermelons and fruit found floating on the water. The rain has been general and the whole country around Silao is flooded. Several dykes have given away. It still continues rainipgo,, : ; : - - On the 20th it was learned that the floods had been more destructive in Leon than in Silao. It seems that on Monday, the 18th, the river broke -over its dykes and notwithstanding all efforts to check its course, it made rapid headway and finally flooded the city. As the rain fell the river rose rapidly, its volume of water flowing into the, town, gradually wearing away the foundations of buildings, which commenced tofall as night came on. Monday night brought to that city one of the most terrible scenes ever witnessed in any country.‘ People believing themselves secure frcm the flood - went to bed in those parts of lowa whsre the' water had not found its way. The steady downfall of : rain, with the extensive water-bed of the outlying country, increased the flowof the river and rapidly extended its channel until over half of Leon was under water. Houses tumble in rapidly, having . been worn.away by the water, and the loss of life commenced, unparalleled in the. history of any of the great inundations of modern times. As .the buildings fell the unfortunate sleepers were either crushed to death or drowned.

One whole night of terror followed.Men, women and children fled to the streets in their night clothes, some to find shelter on higher ground, and others to be swept away . by the flood.; On Tuesday morning rain was still falling, and there ‘had Been no perceptible decrease in the stream of water. A mammmoth lake extended its length and breadth toall points of the compass. Its monotonous appearance . was occasionally broken by halfsubmerged houses and high lands cropping above its any thing but placid surface.. The town had a wrecked look. Where the houses had stood the night previous, water was surging in its flight to lower ground. Groups of people who had been forced by imwending danger to seek flight without clothes were standing about:in the rain crying and deploring ‘their losses. The loss of life up to this writing had reached into hundreds, but the threatening danger had closed the channel of sympathy and the hushed voices denoted nothing more than fear for the future. All night it poured,« until Wednesday morning saw the lake surrounding the eity undfminished in size, with steady rain disturbing its surface. In the afternoon; however, it ceased raining and the waters commenced to recede. The people recovered from their fright, though water was still covering a portion of the city. It is estimated that 700 persons perished. = - There is a strong odor from heaps of rubbish that once formed houses, and one' is led to believe that there must be bodies buried under them. There are also bodies still floating in the water. One hundred and eleven bodies have been recovered without :moving any ruins of houses, . wherein aresupposed to be hundreds of bodies buried. The destroyed houses are estimated at 2,000 and the lossat $2,000,-

The State of Guananjuato and the Federal Government are doing much to succor the vict ms of the flood. Furthermore, subscriptions of money, food and clothes are being sent from here, The last reports from Leon are heartrending. The whole population are busily working into the ruins of the fallen houses, Nearly everybody has lost relations or friends, ‘and those who have not have seen their learthly possessions disappear.dn a night. | . The estimate of loss of life and propjerty given are the smallest reported, and are certainly within the bounds of truth. The very last statement just received places the number of houses destroyed in Leon at 2,224, and the "h(gmeless families at more than 1,000, , i < e e e .
