Convention Ham, Ciiicaoo, Juno 5.???
[Special.]???The convention met this morning
with the lull understanding that the Blaino
men would force the fighting. They had
agreed in the caucus to sacrifice every pre
liminary point, so that a ballot might be
reached as early as possible. When the com
mittee on credentials, which, by the way, lost
night revised the first vote on the Mahone
case, and made it unanimous, made its re
port, Mr. Stewart, of Pennsylvania, a recog
nised Blaine leader, moved its adoption.
This was done without debate amid cheers.
The lllainc men were then ready for imme
diate battle. The Arthurand Edmunds men,
however, were for postponing the actual issue
as long os possible.
The platform was read and adopted. The
names of the presidential candidates wero
then put in nomination in the following or-
dcr: Senator Hawley. Logan, Blaine, Arthur
nnd Edmunds. Blaine's name was presented
by Judge Wcsf, the ???blind man eloquent of
Ohio." The enthusiasm when lllnlno's name
was reached was tremendous.
After a good deal of filibustering the con
vention adjourned without a ballot until
morning.

rolled last night over an nngry campus and the
soldiers, resting on their arms, Waited eagerly

Up, boys, nnd at them, was at once the argu
ment and appeal of to-dny. The streets lead
ing to the exposition building were black
with people fighting 'for admission. Long
lines of policemen struggled to keep tho doors

largely, nnd the holders were frequently forci
bly carried oif by officers, rather than yield
to tho inevitable.
ixsuiK Tim bcildino.
Inside tho hall the 818 delegates, dwarfed
into n handful by tNeir vast environment, sat
as ill tho hollow of a great howl. Even the
building itself seemed stripped for tbo fight.
TbestraggUngdecorations left after the Blaine
storm last night were torn away, nnd there
was nothing left with which to sow tho nir.
Thestillncss was intense. The clicking of tho
busy telegraphers, behind whom fifty mil
lions of people stood in waiting suBjiense,
could bo distinctly heard. The stalwart
prayer was submitted to with irreverent Im
patience. The long-delayed conflict was at
hand, and the folks were spoiling for a fight.
A few ineffectual attempts were made tq in
troduce resolutions, but they were swept away
os chaffin a whirl wind. Before the convention
knew it the call was started, and
???Alabama" rang out as a challenge
to George Turner to head the delegation.
There was a hurried scramble for tally sheets,
and then silence. Lewis Parsons led off with
one dissenting vote, and the fight was fuirly
opened.
ti-rnino tiik rmsT iii-NDtiKn.
Blaine turned 100 first, though Arthur led
up to the 50th mile post. Arthur never
caught Idm again. New York put him past
200 and Texas shoved him above .???100. When
Pennsylvania gave Blaine 48 votes, one more
than be had expected, bis vote was 281 aud
Arthur 225, and there Was resounding cheers,
bouth Carolina and Virginia, with their
colored contingent, brought Arthur within
bailing distance, but he was doomed to l>e
pounded by bis popular rival for more than
50 majority. When the ballot closed, lllainc
lacked 78 votes of a majority. Tlic interest
was right here. Can he get them? was
the universal question. Nobody seemed
to care whether or hot Arthur could close
the gap of 123 votes that stood between him
and the prize. The votes of the other candi
dates were hardly footed up. Can Blaine get
the 74 votes he needs? was the absorbing
topic. The fact that be beat Arthur 55 votes
was lost sight of.
???Can the plumed knight win the needed
votes.???
Un this the discussion hung though obser
vant men noted that Lincoln and General
Sherman were both voted for on the first
ballot.
TIIK SECOND BALLOT ORDEKER.
For the second ballot, Parsons had prom
ised > new vote for Blaine. It was not an
nounced by Turner, and Parsons demanded
that the ballot be sounded. The result gave
Blaine two rotes, a gain of one, which prom
ised well for the ballot. It was soon devel
oped, however, that the Maine man bad to
fight every inch of his way to the royal prixe.
His gains came from the south, and mainly
implying that the Arthur men might not be
very solid, and he ravaged the icy fields of
Edmunds and Hbermnn for two votes each.
He then lacked only G2 votes of a nomina
tion, while Arthur had fallen backward.
A curious effect was noticed as the result
was announced on the buletin boards outside
the building. The mighty shouts that were
raised literally enveloped the building, and
though unseen, made it impossible to hear a 1 there are ugly currents working. It is sold Florida, Georgia, Illinois. Indiana nnd Iowa no

THE THIRD BALLOT orfcfjtlk
Tho third ballot opened with the general
impression tlrnt Blaine would sweep tilings
With a rush/ When he made a gain of three
votes In Minnesota, the pulse of the audi
once quickened rapidly. When Missouri
followed with a gain of five votes, the ap
plause was uncontrollable, and when a big
lunged rooster, from Nebraska, with a voice
like a fog-horn, made the vote of that state
unanimous, it looked very much ns if the
end was coming, and coming quickly. When
Sherman's vote disintegrated in Ohio, nnd
Edmunds lost two in Pennsylvania, no
power could hold the audience. There wns
faltering in all the delegations, nnd especial
ly with southerners.
THE COLORED BROTHERS TROl'BLKD.
The colored hrothericlnstcrcd and seemed
almost ready to swarm. Humors .of big
breaks were heard on every side, but tho Ar
thur men were veterans and fought with the
stubbornness of men whose fortunes depen
ded on the Issue that was joined. The call of
the roll for Pennsylvania checked tho Blaine
rush, which otherwise would have swept to
victory without a halt. It took twenty
minutes for this, and gave the field
time to rally its disordered force. There was
dire confusion pending this vote nnd the Ar
kansas delegate demanded that tho Wall
street monopolists he taken from among the
Alabama delegates. The lie passed between
the Now Y'ork and California delegations,
nnd there was a rush for a fight, which was
stopped by the police. The announcement
that the call of Pennsylvania showed one
more vote than had been announced, the
Blaine Imnm filled again and tlic audience
went wild,
Had the rule of the convention permitted
the changing of votes nftcr they were re
corded, Blaino would have been nominated
without another ballot; but things were held
quiet by tho rules nnd while the count was
being made things were quieted.
THE BREAK FROM LOGIN.
The rumor was then circulated that Lognn
had telegraphed Ids friends to drop his name
nnd vote for Blaine. This added fuel to the
fire and for nearly half an hour tho officers of
tlic convention were unablo to make them
selves heard. As quiet was restored it devel
oped that the nnti-Blalncitos wonldmake one
Inst efiort to unite tlic field aud force an ad
journment. This was the only hope left
them, nnd George William Curtis nnd Johnny
O???Brien, Steve French nnd Andrew White
joined linnds and tolled among tlic faithful.
A change of 11 votes In Illinois on the ad
journment vote gave color to the Logan
rumor, and it wns avident that adjournment
would fail aiid that Blaine nlottc had
at last triumphed over tho field nnd i
made his nomination a certainty.
Tho announcement of the result
of tho vote on adjournment settled the ques
tion. While the cheering wns nt its height,
tho Kansas lls^grt'rn ....uclicd dov, n jgtu
(-enter aisle with a hugo banner surmounted
by tho identical big wheat straw rooster that
graced the Kansas display at the Atlanta
exposition. I recognised tho old fel
low and although he was some
what battered, I think lie recognized
me. The Colorado delegation walked
up the aisle and met it with a banner over
which was an immense' stuffed eagle. The
barnyard nnd tho eagle saluted each other
and pressed down the side aisle amid frantic
applause. As soon as tlic roll call began,
Blaine's nomination was made certain. Aln-
hntna split half in two, and Parsons said the
other half wanted to eomc hut was ashamed.
Connecticut wns hissed when she voted for
Hawley, and a California delegate mixed
with a nutmeg man because the latter said
Blaine couhl not carry Connecticut. When
Illinois voted, a delegate called out:
???Black Jack gets the vice-presidency."
An Illinois dclegutc said, in voting:
???I never turn a back on my chief, even If
other friends do turn cowards, and I vote for
Lognn.???
Leo, of Florida, black as night and specta
cled, said;
The old guard dies hut it neversurrcndcra,
I vote for Arthur."
Lee tvas one of.Grant's 300 in 1880.
The call was incoherent all the way through.
The crowd managed things pretty much their
own way. They cheered or hissed ns they
pleased. The Arthur and Edmunds men
sat silent, weary and disgusted. The onthu
siasm spent itself during the roll call, and
when the result was announced the crowd
was literally worq out, but it responded
hoarsely to the call for a final whirl.
COMMENT ON THE NOMINATION.
The nomination gives general satisfaction.
It lias provesfthat the reformers and phari
sees of New England cannot dictate to the
country, and that the office-holders cannot
over-ride the will of the party. It is inspir
ing to see a private citizen ride down the
I .aid hosts of the government, even if that
man be of an opposing party. A shrewd ob
server said to me just now:
Blaine is wonderfully strong. His strength
has been a revelation te me. I hope lie
will not pnfvc wonderfully weak."
M???hitclaw Reid says:
???This has been Henry Clay???s nomination.
Wc will follow it up with Harrison's cam
paign.???
TILDKN CAN BEAT HIM.
Tilden can beat Blaine beyond a doubt or
question. The C'urtis-Barlow men lave stated
here ojienly and stubbornly that they would
not support Blaine. The New Y'ork Times,
the Evening Post and the New Y'ork Herald
are virtually in the same position. A demo
crat of national reputation said to me;
???Tilden mast be nominated in spite of
everything be says or does. If he dies there
is one other man that ran beat Blaine; that
U Bayard, of Delaware."
THE SCENE IX CIIICAOO.
Chicago presents a wonderful scene this
evening. Cannon are booming, bands pa
rading, clubs marching and flogs flying, A
Blaine man said to me;
???This is the pent up enthusiasm of twelve
years.???
Beneath the splendid surface, bowerer,
We independents will not support Blaine.
They will call a convention nnd take deliber
ate action before committing themselves, hut
wc will see that Blaine does not carry New
York.???
A leading republican editor, hearing (his,
remarked:
???The sooner they go the better. Free
traders and dudes have no mission in the re
publican mnks when there is work to do.???
The Arthur machine will whirl ill with a
will and do all tlint ran lx- done.
llow THE CAMPAIGN WIM. BE RUN. '
The campaign will be run on enthusiasm.
It is intended to carry the country just ns the
convention was carried???with a hurrah. Tho
California delegation lias chartered a special
train of Pullmans ond will make a triumphal
riui to Augustanad hack ncross the continent
It--, proposed to make this trip as splendid nz
the sweep of a comet. The country will he
promised n splendid, vigorousadinlnistration,
essentially American In all Its phases. This
is the scheme at Its host. Its weakness must
be developed and measured later.
THE VICE-PRESIDENTI.1L NOMINATION.
Tlie vice-presidcntiat nomination docs not
strengthen tho ticket. Illinois was safe for
Bhiinc without Lognn. There was a move
ment to put up Forakcr, and thus honor the
tlic brightest man the convention lias dis
closed, and at the same time brace things in
a doubtful place. This movement failed,
more than for anything else because it was
fathered by Roosevelt and Ids fellow dudes
from New Y'ork, against whom indignation
was very strong. There wero intimations
that if a new and clean man were put on tlic
ticket, the reformers would make that ex
cuse for rallying to tlic ticket, but the Blaino
spirit swept everything before it.
???Hnrrnli for Black Jack mid d???m the
dudes,"
They cried, and in they went witli a hur
rah. Theyszy:
???This is not going to be n strategic fight,
nnd we are not going to split hairs. The
country wants Jim Blaino and his crowd,
and we are going to let it have 'em.???
One proclamation from fetmucl J. Tilden
will knock the wind out of this, hut that Is
just wliat it needs.
THE KKTNOTK OP THE CAMPAION.
Emory Htorrs set the keynoto of the Blaine
campaign in his speech to-night snd spoke by
authority of the Blaine managers. He al
luded to the ticket as one of flesh and blood
nnd api>ctite, pledged to nil active nnd bril
liant administration, devoted to the protec
tion of Antoricnn labor, the furtherance of
American industry and the brightening of
American glory. He devoted himself to
huso of Tilden, mentioning no other demo-
rat. 1I-- spoke from not*--. \ l-i-i nth-.-i..*

The galleries were hardly lea* crowded (ban at any

The clerk proceeded to call the roll of states for
nominations. No response was received until Illi
nois was reached, when Heuator Plumb, of Kansas,
came forward. He said the convention had com
pleted two of It* most serious duties???the adoption
of a platform aud the nomination of a candidate
for president. The platform was one in which all
rood republicans coaid unite, aiul
republicans could __

from their number should be placed os the second

BLAINE AND TILDEN.
Pcedlctlona Verified??? 1 Tilden Must nnd Witt
Run*
Chicago, June 0.???[Special.]???Six months
ago I predicted in an editorial in Thk Gos-
ktiti tiox that Tilden and lllainc would lead
the two great jmrtics in the campaign of 18&I.
Tho first part of the prediction ia just accom
plished. The democratic party in almost un
broken phalanx lias declared for Tilden.
Unless he absolutely refuses to accept tho
nomination, ono month from now in this
city he will bo put in tho Held against Oms
plumed knight. There Is more need tfuin
ever, in my opinion, of TUden's strength,
prestige and association In the campaign to
day formally opened, fihdne Is the idol of
his party. Hi* nomination lias been forced
oh the convention by tlic jicople. His cause
lui* blundered from tho first. His leaders
havo been outgeneraled, [ds plans thwarted
and thu field combined against him. The
cry has beon "anything to beat Blaine,??? and
crafty and desperate and full of resource lias
lioon the fight. Tlic patronage of tho govern
ment lias been used against him. lie has
been but a private citizen, declining even to
say that fto would accept the nomination.
Ills following Jias been sjiontancous and the
argument of his campaign has liecn & hurrah!
The enthusiasm with which his party lias
turned to his supjKirt has no parallel. Ho in
the uprising of the democracy for Tilden, it
requires one to meet and watch the other,
lilulne is immensely strung in the Pacific
states. In Ohio he is even stronger. Penn
sylvania ho swept like a whirlwind. ??? In rural
New York lie was invincible before his party
primaries. The democrats must carry New
York, Connecticut, New Jersey and Indiana.
They need not pitch their campaign a* to
j hope for anything else with illaino in tb?? ^
field. Tilden can carry New Yurkjg^gg , ^ ^
Brans admit fills. Tin- one inquiry tliat
greets you on all sides here Is:
"WIU Tilden nmt"
Tho answer Is:
???Tilden must run!" II. \V. 0.
