[ Spoclal Telegram to Tin : HKI : . ] Tlio event
fill day has come. Yesterday the hose ol
political oratory was turned on the conven
tion. It washed the path clear for the
balloting to-day. Sherman's friends arc
generally believed to have made a bad mis
take In not fore-Ing at least one vote lust
I 1 night , bnt they were suspicious of the
Fornkcr stiletto which wnsnot really drawn.
It will bo hard to create another such scone
ns that of yesterday , which 'Was
largely the result of tlio prcsenta
tion of Sherman's name. This
niorn'ng ' the situation is critical. Tlio
Hlainoor-bustcrs have dropped the imsk
and are working hard fpr their favorite
California Insists that It will vote for Hlalno
on the first ballot. Scores of delegates
openly announce that

ns soo'i as they can decently do
eo , The combination yesterday was
ngaliist Sherman ; to-day It seems to bo
against Hlaliie. The managers of every other
boom passed a sleepless night. Murut Hal-
stead still profcsbos conlldonco in Sher
man's staying powers , but these who know
the Ohio delegation bettor insist
that it is not prepared to die with its chief
tain. Grcsham is a name of the past , if
every sign does not fall. The slips of Alger's
managers appeared to huvo laid his boom on
Ice. Allison's friends profess a oanlUlonro
which they do not fcol. Their candidate lost
by Hepburn's presentation , and still more by
the announcement of the Hlalnoitos that
IJlaluo will accept if nominated. Kvoryeno

It U 11 o'clock and the convention hall
Is nearly full. The topmost gallery for the
first time is jammed , and not a half down of
tlio delegates are absent from their seats.
Harrison's sjpportcrs are Jubilantly pro
claiming the ewtaln election of their candi
date , but California smiles as she whispers
the names of lilutiio. The rumor passes around
the rejiortcrs1 benches that one of two tickets
Las been decided ujxm in the general confer

Allison and Pholps. "Geography favors the
former ; public policy , " say the lowans , "tho

On a viva voce vote the motion was de

begun. Indiana's 2(5 ( votes are cast "no.
The cause ot the motion is explained. Fe.i
of Harrison , stimulated by the rumors of th
cai ly cvemnir , huvo caused the friends of th
other candidates to combine to block th
movement. Nebraska e-.m her 10 votes fo
adjournment. New York asks that hoi
votes shall bo polled , She c.i ts OJ votes fo
adjournment , ana only 10 vote against th
motion. Pennsylvania e-asts 31 votes 1 :
favor of the motion and the crowd begin
to move from the great auditorium
Wisconsin casts her twenty-two votes again- ,
the motion. That also meant Harrison , 'ill
plan to nominate General Harrison on th' '
fourth ballot had failed. The result whei
announced was 5.15 "ayes , " 21S "nays , " am
the motion was carried to the infinite etisgus
of tlio galleries.
Then came u scene of wild confusion. Tin
audience wanted something fur their even

seemed the most they could get. Two mln
utes of shouting brought out the great orntoi

the tumult stopped the orators progress. Hall
the audience howled in derision and the othei
half la applause. Some of the delegates lofl
the hull in disgust. The banrt vainly at
tempted to drown the uproar , but was itself
swamped in the noise. California swings
out a banner labled "Hlainoand Piotection , "
and the auditorium becomes once moro a
howling mob. Finally out of the volume ol
sound cries for Fred Douglass were heard

Ho yielded to Mr. Polk , of St. Louis , who In
i volco like a tornado and roar recited "Hhor-
dan's Uido. " The recitation wasnot , partic-
ilarly line , but it was loud and changed the
ones of the great audience from disorder to
inlet. Mr. Polk , if a vote could have been
aken , would have received the thanks of
ho delegates. Hob Ingersoll probably would
lot have fared so well. The unti-Greslmm men

vhother Judge Grcslmm'H cause was helped

ir not.
When Colonel Polk concluded there was
; reat confusion , in the midst of which the
ire-siding ofliccr ordered the audience , on
lolulf of the sergeant-at-arms , to leaves the
all. It took some time for the ciowd , hot ,

After my arrival the repicscntativcs of New

time since the organ i/ation of the republican
paity , if at all , dissensions could bo healed
and all inteiests united in the empire state ,
it would thus secures in that commonwealth
the triumph of tlio ticket. Under these con

could have no possible weight. Since then u
discussion has arisen which lias coiivinc 'el
mo that my vocation and associa

which might enable the enemy
to obscure the great issues of the future and
the protection of the Industries of this

The labor to raise raw matcrii
is Ignorant labor , but the moment the rai

that policy , because wo are the most ingot
iotis people who ever lived , because on a
average wo have more sense than any peopl
that I have happened to meet. 1 ai
In favor of that policy beciuis
here in the United States wo have on a
average belter homes , better clothes , belte
food and better schools than any other m
tion. I believe the hearthstone ) is the fotu
elation of America. I believe the lirosldo i
the altar of the republic. 1 am in favor t )
that policy that will put a roof over the heai
of exery mechanic.
I am not only in fiver of the republic i
party because it is in favor of protecting in
dustries at home , but I am in favor of tha
party because it believes in education , be
cause it believes in protecting the rights o
American citizens everywhere. I am fo
that party because it took the last stain fron
the American Hag. I am for that party be
cause It pave freedom not onlv t
4KK,0X ( ) ( ) of people but to thousand
of millions yet unborn. I am in favor of i
because you can bo a man and belong to it
Now , having said this little , 1 regard thosui
cess of the republican party .is the most mi
portant tiling for the republ'o. In the nex
place no single man , whatever his service ,
may be > , nor whatever his achievements havi
been , no single man , wliutevor his capacit' '
is , is of the slightest importance comparei
with the success of the republican party
consequently the nes-t question is , who ia tii
most available man other things being equal
( Cries lor Grcsham , IMamo and others ) ,
elo not e-aio who you me for , or who I an
for , the gieat question is , and that qucstioi
must be settled at the polls , not in a whirl
wind of excitement , but after months of ells
cussion when the hurrah is out of your lung' '
and sense in your brain , that question inns
bo settled by the most intelligent men unele :
thei Hag , and when you can do a thing easily
the-ro IN no need of straining yourselves
\\ould like to hco this convention rise to the
dignity and splendor of the oiraMon , and :
believe you will. I would like to see yoi
put upon the next tie-kot two soldiers whc
helped to save our country 1 would like tc
see two heroes lulled against two democrats.
I want two patriots against two coppeiheads
Then let the American people make
theli choice. Lot them say who they wil
have , and my ide.i is this , that a man win
did not want to go to Hichmond during the
war , should not bo sent to Washington now.
The gieat thing 1 want is success. No !
simply for a p.uty , nut for my country , and
not simply for iny country , hut for principle ,
because 1 believe human libc-ny is more im-
poitant than any country on the globe.
Now , being a republican , boinif for the re
publican party , being for protection , wishing
ind hoping for sucejs , I am m favor ol the
lominalion of Walter Q On-sham. [ Uivat
