<A “Taio car ‘REPUSLICAN NOMINATIONS. FOR PRESIDENT, ULYSSES S. GRANT, ‘OF ILLINOIS. FOR VICE PRESIDENT, SCHUYLER COLFAX, OF INDIANA. RADICAL PLATFORM. Highly Dramatic Proceedinge—Pigeons and Scenery Lend Their Ald—General Enthue Nomliuation of Schuyler Colfax for the Vice Presidency—“Grant and Vice tory”=—The Wadites and Fentonites Feel Oxtcaco, May 21, 1868, ‘There was a good deal of the dramatic about the Proceedings in the Convention to-day. When General Grant was placed in nomination by Mr. Logan the whole audience, ladies and all, roseto their feet, shouting, waving handkerchiefs and clap- ping hands with tremendous energy. At the same moment some one in the upper galleries let loose a ood sized live pigeon, whose body had been painted red, white and blue, and who flt- tered about for some minutes in great agitation, not liking the tremendous roaring about him, Old Jesse Grant, father of the General-in- Stood on the front of the platform, gazing mute astonishinent at the animated scene about him. When the result of the vote for President was announced, showing it to be unanimous for General Grant, deafening shouts broke forth, and at the back ‘Of the stage the curtain went Up, disclosing to the view a new scene in which the General-in-Chief and ‘Goddess of Liberty formed conspicuous figures, Grant ‘Was seated at one side of a spacious building, which ‘might have been the White House, National Capitol Or any other building. Over this building were the ‘words ‘Matoh him,” to which the Goddess of Liberty Pointed on the other side where there was an empty Bpot left for the nominee of,the democratic party, the idea being to have him matched against Grant. That ‘Was all highly dramatic and brought down the house; Dut this was not all, Three musical gentlemen came forward to the front of the stage and sung a new campaign song entitled “We'll Fight it Out Here, on the Oj@ Union Line,” full of allu- ‘sions to “Grant and Victory.” Then, during the excitement—intense as I ever witnessed—which ing the voting for Vice President, the Beene Was extremely interesting. When, on ‘Whe Ath ballot, the curtent turned entirely to Colfax, ‘@nd delegation after delegation abandoned Wade, Fenton and Wilson to support Colfax, there was a Senuine burst of enthusiasm, which was perfectly ‘uncontrollable. ‘The defeat of Wade and Fenton ts felt keenly by ‘the delegations from Ohio and New York. Fenton’s Triends tried every means of getting the vote of Wilson ‘and Curtin for their favorite, but in vain. Colfax ‘Was too popular with all the delegations. His selec- ‘ton fs considered better than Wade's would have ‘been for the ticket; but, nevertheless, there is much Soreness because the nomination was not conceded to the East. ‘When it was discovered that Colfax was gathering ground, to the sure discomfture of the choice of ‘New York and Ohio, an effort was set on foot to Secure @ recess until the evening, in order to do 8 little wire-pulling to regulate matters to brace up the declining fortunes of Wade and Fenton. The Wade men, and indeed a majority Of the Convention, into the ballot under the tm- pression that Wade the best chance. The Fen- ton men felt confident, and counted upon seeing an almost unanimous vote of the Southern States. A recess, it was thought, would ensue, and some ar- rangements made looking to the nomination of one Of these candidates. The Pennsylvanians, however, suddenly turning from thirty-three for Wade on one ballot to thirty for Colfax on the next, completely turned the tide. Ohio made every exertion to stem the current and New York became completely de- Moralized. Like the giving away of the main support of some mighty superstruc- ture, the high hopes of the rival giants of New York and Ohio found their foundations crambling beneath them. Rounds and rounds of ‘applause followed the stride taken by Colfax on the fifth ballot, Before the announcement of the result delegations of one State after another in rapid suc- cession turned unanimous votes for Colfax, and amidst the greatest excitement the enthusiasm of the moment overwhelmed “all obstacles, unti) nothing but a small fraction of the merest wreck of the oppo- sition was left standing. True to the impulse of human mature, the friends of the defeated candidates are endeavoring in every ingenious Fay to account for their defeat. | The platform is pretty much as foreshadowed last night. It is very near non-committal on every leading topic, particularly impeachment and the Mnances. Cochrane, of New York, made an abortive effort to get a blow at the seven traitorous Senators in the platform, and was snubbed. The Convention evidently did not like to throw down the gage to men Ifke Trumbull and Fessenden. The first banner of the campaign was hung out ‘this evening in this city, bearing the names of Grant and Colfax as the Union republican candidates for * the campaign of 1968, The city is fall of excitement to-night and there is a@ hurrah over the ticket. Most of the delegates are going home to-night or to-morrow. Cucaco, May 21, 1868. The Conventien was called to order at a quarter- past ten o'clock. *. Prayer was offered vy Rev. Dr. Gulliver, of Chicago. The PREstDeNT announced that the Committee on Resolutions had just sent word that they would not be ready to report before eleven o'clock, THE UNION LEAGUES.

A DELEGATE from South Carolina—I move that the vote be taken by acclamation. (Cries of ‘No ! no !?’) The PRESIDENT—The rules designate the manner in which the vote shall be taken.
