CONVENTION
Called to Or.der and the Following
Gentlemen Placed in Nomi
nation General Hawley, John A. Lo

A. Arthur, John Sher
man, Senator Ed
munds. A Brilliant Galaxy of Republican
Statesmen.
The utmost enthusiasm elicited from
the convention at the mention of Blaine
and President Arthur's name.
CALLED TO ORDER.
Chicago, June 5. The convention
was called to order at 10:34 and was
opened with prayer by Bishop Fallows,
of the Reformed. Episcopal church. He
prayed that those who might be elected
by tbisconventiou for the loftiest posi
tion to which mortal man can aspire
shall possess every qualification of body
mind, and beart for their high and holy
trusts; that personal preference and in
terests 6hould yield to the just demand
ot :i true a d broad patriotism, and that
a qualification of choice should be made
by the people in an unmistakable man
ner. Henry Ballard, of Vermont, chairman
of the committee on credentials, report
ed that sessions of the committee had
been almost continuous, leaving mem
bers no time to rest. lie took pleasure
iu saying that proceedings had been en
tirely harmonious, and without refer
ence to personal preferences. The re
sult was a unanimous report, which an
nouncement was received with ap
plause. The report of the committee
on credentials was then read by Jlr.
Fort, of New Jersey. It was to the
effect that the sitting members in all
the contested cases are entitled to their
seats except In the cas? of the Nine
teenth district of New York, and the
Fifth district of Kentucky, where both
delegates and Contestants are admitted,
to cast half vote each. In the Virginia
ca3e the committee found unanimously
that the delegation which was headed
by Senator Mahone, was entitled to the
seats. The report was adopted without
discussion.
THE RULES.
Parks, of California, from the com
mittee on rules reported that the com
mittee had adopted substantially the
rules of the last convention, except
that it recommended the adoption ol
Cushing s manual as the parliamentary
law of the body, instead of tho rules
of the house of representatives, except
that the previous question is to be in
force as iu the house.
Grow, of Pennsylvania, from the mi
nority of the committee, offered a sub
stitute for the 10th rule, which pre
scribed the mode of electing delegates
to the next national republican conven
tion 11a proposes that delegates shall
be elected in the same manner as mem
bers of congresj. Parks accepted the
propped amendment, Grow having ex
plained IL .t the delegates at large are
to be elected by state conventions and
that the manner of electing delegates
from the District of Columbia shouM
be prescribed by the national republi
can committee. The rules were then
adopted.
KVENINQ SESSION.
Chicago, June 5. Chairman Hender
son called the convention and the vast
audience to order at 7:35 p. m.,aud said
"Gentlemen of the convention: Under

any response.
When Illinois was culled and senator
Cullom rose from his seat, about four
thousand voices indulged in the excla
mation "Ali ! Ah ! Ah !" as people are iu
the habit of venting themselves while
looking upon fourth of July fireworks.
The seuator walked down ni&le to
w.-trd the platform, culy buttoning
the buttons of his coal ; n.s he mounted
the platform ho was received with a
fresh volley of yell?, which died out and
were reuewed again as he confronted
the audience from the speaker's desk.
The chair introduced the representa
tive of Illinois a9 follows :
-Gentlemen: Senator Cullom of Illi
nois.
More yells followed, during which
the senator smoothed himself down in
front with his hand, and when the up
roar had subsided, he proceeded as
follows:
Mr. President aud Gentlemeu ofthe
Convention :
Twenty-four years ago the second
national convention of the republican
party uiei iu this city aud nominated
iis first successful candidate for pr si
dent of the United States Abraham
Lincoln. Cheers J Abraham Lincoln
led the republican party to its first
great victory. Ho stands today in the
estimation of the world as the grandest
figure, the most majestic figure, in all
modern times. Applause.! Again in
n 1863 another republican convention
came together ia this city and nomi
nated as its candidate for president of
the United States another eminent cit
izen of Illinois General Ulysses b.
Grant. Loud cheers and waving of
fans and other demonstrations of ap
proval. and "the republican part' was
again victorious.
Still Again, in 1880, the republican
party turned its face towards the polit
ical Mecca, where two successes had
been organized, and the murdered Gar
field led the republican party to victo
ry. Loud and continued applause.
Mr. President and fellow citizens it is
good lor us to be l.ere. There are
omens of victory in the air, History
repeats itself. There are promises of
triumph to the republican party in
holding its convention in this great
emporium of the northwest. Ap
plause.
The commonwealth of Illinois which
has never wavered in its adhesion to
republican principles, since it cave to
the nation aud the wcrld the illustrious
Lincoln now presents to this conven
tion for its consideration as the stand
ard uearer or tne republican party an
other sou of Illinois one whose name
will be recognized from one end of this
laud to he other as an able statesman,
a brilliant soldier aud an honest man
General John A. Logan i
The announcement of Gen. Logan's
name was received with a wild burst of
applause. A great many persons ris
ing to their feet, waving their hats and
handkerchiefs and the thousands of
people in the gallery joining in the
burst of applause.
The state of Maine was then called,
and the vast assembly arose and an ex
plosion of human voices occurred. For
seven minutes the roar contiuued, and
only ceased because of the inability of
the audience to roar any longer. Some
of the delegates were overjoyed to the
extent of frenzy. Hats, handkerchiefs
and canes were thrown into the air.
flrtgs waved and a general pandemoni
um reigned.
The chair rapped with his gavel for
order, he might a3 well have tried to
argue with a cycloue. The audience
apparently desired no finer opportunity
to express their fe-ling, and expressed
their feeling with the opportunity. It
is impossible to c ney an adequate
idea as to the tumu t that reign- d, but
possibly an estimate can be formed by
the statement that from 12,000 to 14,-
000 people were yelling like mad and
could not be restrained. It was a glor
ious tribute to pay to any man.
WEST NAMES BLAINE.
Alter the chairman had succeeded in
producing comparative quiet, Judge
West, of Ohio, was introduced, and
s lid :
As a delegate to the Chicago conven
tion of 1860, the proudest service of
my life wa3 performed by noting for
the nomination of that inspired eman cipator,
the first republican president of
the United State3. Applause Four
and twenty years of the grandest his
tory of recorded time has distinguished
ascendancy of the republican party.
The skies have lowered and reverses
have threatened. Our flag is t-till
there, waving above the mansion of the
presidency, pot a etain on its folds,
not a cloud on its trlorv. Whether it
shall maintain that grand ascendancy
depends upon the action of this con
vention.
With bated breath a nation awaits
the result. On it are fixed the eyes of
twenty millions of republican free men
of the north ; ou It, or to it, rather, are
stretched forth tbe imploring hands of
ten millions of political bondmen of
the south TaDnlausel: whilo abeve from

fro-n tho portals of.the light, is looking
down the immortal spirit of the im

tory bidding us hail and godspeed

of our manhood and rekindle the fervor
of the veteran, and the closing of the
next campaign will see that holy ensign
spanning tho sky like a bow of prom
ise. Cheers
Political conditions are changed since
the accession of the republican party
to power tho mighty issues of strug
gling freedom and bleeding humaniay,
which convulsed the continent, and
aroused the republic, rallied, united
and ins pi led the forces of patriotism,
and the forces of humanity in one con
solidated phalanx. These great iasues
have ceased their contentions. The
subordinate issues resulting therefrom
are settled and buried away with the
dead issues of the past.
The arms of th solid south are
against us. Not an electoral guu can
be expected from that section. If the
triumph comes, the republican states ol
the north must furnish the conquering
battalions from the farm, the
auvil, the loom, the mine, the w ork-
shop and the desk from the hut of the
trapper on the snowy Sierras, from the
hut of the fisherman on the banks of
the Hudson. The republican states
must furnish these conquering battal
ion if triumph comes.
Does not sound political wisdom die
tate and demand that a leader shall be
given them whom our people will fol
low, not as conscripts advancing by fu
neral marches to certain defeat, but a
grand civic hero, whom the souls of
the people desire, and whom thev will
follow with all the enthusiasm of vol
unteers, as they sweep on and onward
to victory. Cheers.
Upon the mention of the came of
Blaine tnere arose another shout of ap
plause, which, spreading rapidly soon
developed into a greater, louder, more
piercing halloo than followed the call
of Maine. The handkerchiefs of the
ladies were again waved in unison, the
delegates elevated their hats, and it
seemed likely for five minutes to be
nearly a repetition of the preceding
uproar.
A happy innovation however was
made by the visitors, who, indeed made
ninety-nine hundreih3 of the applause,
wrested the 'flags from the sides of the
galleries and waved them the entire
length of the hall ; a large national flag
was also taken by a visitor from the
front platform and waived from the
platform amid tremendous cheering.
Subsequently, upon the pole of the flag
was placed a helmet exquisitely formed
of carnations aud roses, with a long,
whitbj plume, wLichwas hoisted from a
press table. The helmet was the gift
of some young ladies of Chicago. Tre
mendous acclamation greeted this hap
py fiuege8tionof the "Plumed Knight"
of four years ago. So went on the
waving of hat?, umbrellap, flags and di
vers other articles for several minute?.
Blaine's nomination was seconded bv
Governor Davis, of Minnesota, Wm. C
Goodloe. of Kentucky, T. C. Piatt, of
New lorkand Galusha A. Grow, of
Pennsylvania.
ARTHUR.
The calling of the roil was continued
by the secretary until the state of New
lorkwas reached. When New York
was called then came the opportunity
of the friends of Arthur and well was
it improved. Such a burst of enthusi

ana cueenng or a great body of dele-
gates, and waving of flairs, showed i
their numbers and .earnest, the'
colored delegates especially, raised
their voices and their 1-ato and added
to the general applause. Flags were
again swuDg upon tho platform and
along the sides of the hall.
After fifteen minutes of thiscnthusi
astic cheering the chairman rapoed
twice to atop the cheers, but was only
cheered for his trouble. He ranned
thrice aud the crowd sauir "Marchinc
through Georgia." Again he rapped
and they jrave three cheers aud a tiger
for Arthur, after which business pro

Mr. President and Gentlemen of this

great men. The republican party is
f"m er great men. .ana tno

great men of Ainenca are in the re
publican party. Applajse.l It has
warmed the cockles of my heart to
hear eulogies and see the scenes of to
night. I abate not one whit from the
speakers who have uttered the eulogi
ums, in my admiration of those men.
I came heae to say amen, and thrice
amen, as to the achievements of tho
republican party, including the glori
ous history ot the gentlemen whose
names have been presented hern. T
come here, howeve r, to talk about the
well-being of the republican Dartv in
tho future, and I say to the gentlemen
ol this convention, that however joy
ous our evening interview may be, there
is a very grave responsibility resting
upon us, that ha got to be borne and
decided by cool and deliberate judg
ment. The question U how shall we
put ourselves before the American
people tn shape to carry the suffrages
at the next November election And it
is a serious question. In France, when
the national assemblies from 17!)0 to
1S00 were assembled, a demonstration
from the surrounding neighborhood ia
Paris, and the assent by 'the national
assemblies, settled the question. But
we may exert an influence upon this
body; we may obtain the assent of this
body, and yet our work js not done.
We have got to go down to the con
stifueucies who sent us here. We have
got to shape our action so that it will
commend itself to the men that go to
the church, to the clergymen, to the
elders, to the deacons, the members and
the citizens that attend tho churches
all that fear God and love the republic,
have to canvas 3 our action and pass
judgement upon what we have done.
Now how shall we meet the views f
these people? I como to speak to you
in carrying out what I believe Is most
likely the favor of the elector of the
electors of this country the republi
can electors. I have to speak of the in
dividual, I speak of Gen. Chester A.
Arthur, of the state of New Yark.
Cheers and applause.
Arthur's nomination was seconded by
Bingham, of Pennsylvania, Lynch (col
ored) of Mississippi, Winston, of New
Orlean, and Pinchbeck, (colored) of
Louisiana.
