Ohio Sherman men and; the New 5 oik
York anti-Grant men lead in the grand
applause for Garfield, kissing hands to each
other in mutual gratulation. Iowa fol
lowed with 22 for Garfield. There was a
scene of great confusion which the ofh-
ccrs of the convention could not control
for a long time. Kansas transferred 0

from Shennan to Garfield. Louisiana
transferred 8 Blaine and Shennan votes

The audience in the galleries sprang to
their feet, as did also the great body of
anti-Grant delegates on the floor, with
enthusiastic cheers, and for a few mo
ments there was a scene of wild excite
ment—the banners of Massachusetts,
Maine, California, Vermont, Michigan
and other anti-Grant States moved to
wards and surrounded the Ohio delega
tion. The military hand in the hall struck
up “Rally around the flag,” in which the
immense audience joined with great voice
and in remarkably good time.

The chair announced that Garfield, ol
Ohio, having received a majority of the
whole vote cast, was nominated for Presi
dent of the United States, and asked,
“Shall his nomination be made unan
imous. . T . . , . .
Mr. Conkling said he bad intended to
move that the nomination be made unan
imous, but the chair had anticipated him.
He briefly addressed the convention, hop
ing that the unanimity now displayedlierc
would be transferred to tlie field of tbe
campaign, and that all who differed here
■would unite in carrying the lance against
the common enemy.
Mr. Logan pledged himself and his
friends to sustam the nomination, and
earnestly believed victory would crown
their efforts. ......
Sir. Beaver, of Pennsylvania, in behalf
of that State, seconded the motion. He
said that the country might expect from
her the largest majority that she had given
in any presidential contest in many years.

How the News is Beceived.
PHH.ADEi.PinA, June 8.—The news of
General Garfield’s nomination was well
received in this city. Members of the
stock board were "Varticularly demonstra
tive in tlieir expressions of enthusiasm.
Baltimore, June 8.—The nomination
of Garfield and Arthur gave entire satis
faction to the Republicans of this city!
To-night a salute of 100 guns was fired
In celebration of the result oftlie Chicago
convention.
places in this State in honor of General
Garfield’s nomination, which gives general
satisfaction.
Charleston, June S.—Tlie News and
Courier to-morrow will say that Garfield
will make a stronger run by far than
cither Grant or Blaine, but that he is not
as unobjectionable a candidate as Ed
munds or Washbume. It expects that bis
course during the canvass will be to stir
tip every bitter memory, on a line with his
Dayton speech of last October, so
as to array a solid North against a solid
South. The South will be from pressure
and excitement overwhelmingly Derno-
cratic,and Garfield can ceitainly be beaten.
But the first step of the Democracy must
be to throw overboard tbe old roan of tlie
sea,- as.-Republicans have done. Tlie
nomination of Garfield instead of Graut is
a great shock to the colored people of
Charleston, and they seem to regard it as
a disaster to the Republican party. _
New York, June 8.—The Staats Zei-
tung, commenting on the action of the
Chicago convention, will to-morrow say
the nomination is more remarkable for
that which lia3 been frustrated than for
what has been accomplished. The defeat
of Grant and Blaine is a great victory, not
only for the Republican party, but for tbe
whole country. We congratulate the
American people that the danger has
been removed by which the Republican
party in nominating one of these two
would have become a reactionary party.
Still we cannot say that the nomination of
Garfield does not mean in some sense a
relapse. The Democracy should reply to
Garfield’s nomination with Bayard, Palm
er or Morrison. Either of these would
enterthe contest with excellent prospects.
Boston, June 8.—Dispatches from va
rious points in New England report the

of the results of the Chicago convention.
In some places salutes were fired, and

pointment, but was received cheerfully.
Chicago, Juae 8.—Gen. Garfield was
serenaded at the Grand Pacific this morn
ing by an immense and enthusiastic

quarters was one busy scene of congratu
lation. Over six hundred telegrams were
received by him through the Western
Union company alone.
Richmond, June S.—The nomination

ment here, the general sentiment of tbe

defeat of Grant. The State says: “Third
tennism is killed forever. There is no
danger of a divided South.”
New York, June 8.—There were one
hundred guns fired here this evening in

cians. Arthur’s nomination is not regarded

St. Louis, June 8.—The following dis
patch explains itself:
To Hon. James A. Garfield, Chicago’.
Tlie undersigned, to whom was confided
the organization of a .national anti-third
term committee of 10, appointed at St.
Louis, May 6, rejoice that the duty assigned
them disappeared with your nomination,
which we heartiiy approve. The warm
est congratulations are extended to the
statesman this day called to lead the re
united party to the fruition of its highest
aims. Signed by II. II. nitchcock, E.
Preforms, G. A. Tinkelbnrg, L. Eaton,
R. E. Raurabauer.
Memphis, June 9.—The nomination of

tion by the Republicans. The general ex

Atlanta, June 9.—The Constitution
thinks the “machine” will not work satis
factorily in New Y'ork, and the ticket can
be beaten. The Ishmaelite has the same
opinion.
New Orleans, June 9.—The Times
says: “General Garfield is a very fair
representative of the better element of the
Republican party—superior to most of
his competitors at Chicago in mental
force, and equal to them in other essential
attributes. He was somewhat spattered
by the Credit Mobilier scandal, but it did
not stick sufficiently to impede his advance
ment.”
The Picayune says the nomination of
Garfield relieves the country from the ap-.
prehension of danger involved in a third
term, and refers to the De Golyer and
Credit Mobilier scandals, and says: “But
Garfield is, all these reasons to the contra
ry, a strong candidate and party favorite,
and will heal its dissensions and poll the
full Republican vote. He will not be easily
defeated. The Democracy are under the
necessity of either yielding the victory or
nominating a man who will carry every
Democratic State in tlieUnion—the whole
South and New Y’ork and Indiana.”
The Democrat says: “General Garfield
is in every sense a typical Republican. He
has long been conspicuous as an exponent
of the most pronounced hostility to the
South; was one of the visiting statesmen
in 1876-77, and figured as a signer of the
subsequent report—a document remarka
ble for its bitterness and misrepresenta
tions. As a member of the famous 8 to 7
commission he sustained his part in tlie
plot to defraud the people of the legitimate
fruit of the election of 1S70.” It refers to
the DeGolyer and Credit Mobilier scan
dals, and says General Arthur is a mere
creature of Conkling’s machine.

Spofford resolutions, was taken up. Sir.'
Call supported tberesoliit'ons, and argued
that in seating Mr. Jonas, the Senate de
cided the Nicbolls legislature to be the le
gal legislature of Louisiana, and therefore
the Packard Legislature could not have
been lawful. He made an elaborate ar
gument against the applicability of the
doctrine of res adjusticata to this case.
Mr. Johnson also supported the resolu
tions analyzing the evidence and conclud
ing that Kellogg was not constitutionally
elected and was guilty of corrupt prac
tices. He also argued that the former ac
tion of the Senate might aud should be re-
versed.

ducing from $2.50 to $1.25 per acre lands

Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen: I assure
you thatthe information you have of
ficially given me brings a sense of very
grave responsibility and especially so in
view of the fact tlist I was a member of
your body—a fact that could not have
existed witli propriety, had I had the
slightest expectation that my name would
be connected with a nomination for office.
I have felt, with you, great solicitude con
cerning the situation of our party during
the struggle, but believing you are correct
in assuring me that substantial unity has
heen readied in the conclusion, it gives
me a gratification far greater than any
personal pleasure your announcement can
bring.
I will take early occasion to reply more
fully than I can properly do to-night. 1
thank you for the assurance of confidence
and esteem you have presented to me, and
hope we shall see our future as promisin~
as are the indications to-night.
Hoar, in the same manner, presented
the nomination to Arthur, who accepted
iu a brief and informal way.
