The Convention Almost Unani= mous for His Selection, Proceedings of the Convention in Detail---The Ballots by States. —— A Day Full of Exciting Incidents Great Excitement, and Intense Interest, — FOURTH DAY, SPECULATION 8, Curcaco, June 6,—The Tribune says last night's demonstrations and vote on the adjournment shows Blaine's great strength and indfcates his nomination. The Inter Ocean says the situation is practically unchanged; that southern del- egates remain firm for Arthur and that Blaine’s forces stick with great tenacity; that Sherman, Logan and Edmunds were waiting and hoping for a break in Arthur or Blaine’s forces. The Times refrains from predictions; says none of the nomi- nating speeches equalled those of Conk- ling and Garfield four years ago. It is generally thought a result will not be reached to-day unless there should be a second session. Blaine men predict his nomination on the secend or third ballot. THE CRUSH. CH10AGO, June 6.—One hourand a half before the time of the convention toassem ble vast crowds of people were in front of the entrance waiting for the doors to open. It seemed as if there had been no change from last night, when thousands demanded admission to a hall already crowded. The doorkeeper, police, and seargent-at-arms exercised great patience and there was little irritation. The rumor this morning in the air is that the independents, alarmed at the strong Blaine demonstration last night, have determined to cast the vote of Mas- sachusetts and Vermont on the second bal- lot for Gen. Wm. Tecumseh Sherman. CALLED TO ORDER. It was 20 minutes past the hour for meeting when the gavel fell, and the chairman announced that the convention would be opened by prayer by Rey.

TRYING TO ADJOU The announcement of the result of the ballot created tremendous excitement, which continued for several minutes, the chair vainly endeavoring to restore order. Dozens of delegates were on their feet endeavoring_to secure the attention of the chair. Motions to adjourn till 7:30 were made and seconded, The Blaine men resisted the motion, but the chair put the question to the house. The confusion at this time (2:30 p. m.) was 80 great that it was impossible to decide the question by a rising vote, and a call of states was ordered on the motion. Tllinois voted 15 against and 29 for ad- journment. A poll was demanded. The vote on adjournment was lost. Foraker moved that Blaine be nomi- nated by acclamation. Rooseville of New York, demanded the call of the roll. Great excitement. Foraker wiehdrew motion in order to save time. THE FOURTH BALLOT.

Cullom, said: *'1 ask leave of this convention to read a dispatch, which I have just received from General Jno, A, Logan, addrossed to the Illinois delegation.” [Loud cries of “Regular order!” *‘Regular order!” “‘We object!” **Call the roll!” and great confusion. | Mr. Cullom—**To the republicans—— [Loud cries of “‘Order!” **Call the roll!” “Regular order!”] I am directed by General Logan to read it to this conven- tion, and shall send the dispatch to the desk to we read.” [Loud cries of *No! No!” and great confusion.] Mr. Burrows, of Michigan—1 make the point of order that the reading of the dispatch is not in order, and nothing but the announcement of the vote is in order. [Loud applause. ] The chair—The chair sustains the point of order. [Loud applause.] Cullom—The Illinois, delegation then withdrawe the name of General Logan andvotes: For Blaine 34 votes; for Logan 7; for Arthur [Loud cheers.] The chair—The secretary will an- nounce the vote of the state of tllinois. The Secretary—For Arthur, 3, [Great confusion in the hall and continued up- roar which lasted b or 10 minutes. | Jullom—Mr. Chairman: 1 demre to hear the announcement of the vote, and I hope there will bo ordar restored here, I desire to hear the announcement of the vote of Tllinois. The Chair-~The gentleman will repeat the vote of Illinois. Cullom—Now if the gentlemen will be quiet we will have this thing in order. 1llinois cast 34 votes for Jas. G. Blaine, [loud and long continued cheering re- sumed, ] 7 votes for John A. Logan, and 3 votes for Chester A. Arthur, Tho secretary then read tho vote from the desk amid great cheering. Fifer of Illinois—For fear there wmay be some mistake, I challenge the vote of Illinois and demand a call of the roll. [Loud cries of “No!" “No!” *Sit down.”] Cullc I want to know whether this gentleman challenges the vote of Tllinois a vote which he made himself? [Great confusion]. Mr, Fifer—I challenge the vote and demand the roll call, The Chair—Tho sectetary will call the roll of the state of Illinois, The secretary did so. The result showed all the Illinois| delegates voting for Blaine, except John M. Hamilton, A bner Taylor and Samuel B. Raymond (for Arthur), and W. W, Berry, Geo. K. Ingham, Harrison Black, Joh Rina- ker, R. A. Halbert and W. McAdams (for Logan). The change in 1llinofs from Logan to Blaine made the Dlaine's votes 414.

The chair- man_finally succeeded in getting order and Mr. Thurston continued: “Casts 10 votes for James G, Blaine,” And sat down amid tremenduous noise. This wasa gain of 2 by Blaine irom Arthur, LOGAN'S WITHDRAWAL, AND HIS INDORSEMENT OF BLAINE, Cu1eAGo, Juue 6.—The following dis- patch was received WASHINGTON, June 6,--C.

LOGAN. PUCK'S P10 I‘U‘HES. HOW 17 BTAKTED A ROW. 110AGo, June 6,—There was an ex- ing scene about miduight last night in the Colorado headquarters, which would have resulted in bloodshed but for the prowpt ivterference of the polico. A number of Blaiue's managers were hold- ing & meeting with closed doors, when a young man carrying an armful of circu- lare entered, The circulars contained a reproduction of Puck's *“Tatooed Man, for political offect by a fow ultra anti- Blaine men, It appears that the meeting was boing held to discuss the best means of supprossing the furthor circulation of those campaign circulars, and when the young man entered their midst and com menced scattering them all over the room thore was an intense oxcitement. One man jumped up and catohing the in truder by the throat pulled him to the door and flung him out into the hall, o ho was besot by a dozen othor ad hevents of Blaine, They kicked and pounded him, and were rapidly roducing hiw to jelly, when somo friends came up. Rovolvera wore pulled on both sides at onee, but bloodshed was provented by tne appearanco ot officers who rescued the bold nows agoent. VIOK: IDENCY, 1 SESSION, Crreaco, June 6, —Considering that all the excitomont and intorest in the vention culminatod to-day in the nomin- ation of Mr, Blaine for the presidency, thero was a vory largo attendance as woll me of delegates as of spectators, at tho even- ing soasion. Tho galleries wore hardly loss crowdod than at any of the preceding sessions, but thoro was a marked absence of any other focling than of simple curiosity. ® PRAVER 1 PRIE AN IRISH CATHOLIC 1t was 8:16 p. m. when tho chairman’s gavel foll and announced that prayer would be offered by Rev. Dr, O'Reilly, of Dotroit. Dr. O'Railly is troasurer of the Irish National League of America, and is the first Catholic to open & republican convention with prayer. It may bo said republicans have introduced two now features in this convention: A colored man as temporary chairman and & repro- sentative of the Catholic church invited to participato in the ofticial procoedings on an equal with protostant ministors, Dr. O'Reilly is a lifelong republican, THE NATIONAL COMMITTEE, At conclusion of the prayer tho chair called for tho names of membors of the Hational committeo which had mot been alroady sent up; Florida aunounced the namo of Josso G Coles; the District of . el b Columbia, Col, Perry Carson. hr ‘A Tesolution a8 passed, pormitting with Blaine and Fogan his state could be carried for the party by 5,000, SUSPENDING THE RU After farthor nominations from Geor. gin and Kentucky, a motion was made to suspend the rules and make nomination of Logan by acclamation. It was put to a voto and the majority voted for it, but as a two-thirds vote was necessary the chair ordered the roll called in order to ascortain numbers, At tho request of dologaten, who said there wero others who wished to speak for Logan, the motion to suspend the rules was withdrawn, Bradley, ot Kentucky, eulogized the statesmanship and soldierly qualities of the man whose name was before the con- vontion, and predicted that if he weroe nominated for the second place, the tick- ot would aweop the countr Lee, of South Carolina, said his state had raiged the first colored soldiers to fight for tho Uuion and their hearts would b rejoiced at thy nomination. A Tennessce delegae (interrupting) Inthe name of three-quarters of a mil lion soldiers who did not stay at hon during the war, [ nominato **Black Jack Logan, Sevoral other nominating speech- o8 wera mado. O'Hara, of North Carolina.—1 suggest that wo proceed to nominate Goneral Logan, and allow others who want to talk, tho privilege of printing their apeoshes, [Laughter.] CONFEDERATE SOLDIERSEFOR LOGAN, A Virginia delegate said that, in the absenco of General Mahone, owing to illness, ho would undertakoe to speak for /i in. Ho could not, like many who ded him, appeal in behalf of union soldiers for Logan's nomination; but he would speak for 300,000 confoderate soldiers, of whom he was one, who would rally to the support of Blaine and Logan. General J. 8. Robinson, of Ohio, seconded the nomination on behalf of his state, and moved to suspend the rules and make tho nomination by acclamation. The question being put to a voto, was declared carried. Great confusion follow- od. Tho Kansas banner was brought out again, with the portrait of Logan added to that of Blaine, When quiet was restored Congressman Davis, of Illinois, doemanded a call of the 1 committeos to name tho LB nal cemmitteos not al- members of natio ready named. Mr. Conger, from umbia, said the nam® been agreed upon by the delogation. The chair decided the gentleman (_mt of order, pending action of a rosolution to limit the vioe-presidoncy nominating speechos to ton minutes, which might be divided botween two or more speakers. Mr. Conger—I want to know whe the voice of the District of Columbi to bo suppressed by the chairman. The Chair—I very much wish I could do so. [Laughter. ] Mr. Conger insisted on speaking amid much laughter and confusion, When order was restored, it was an- nounced on behalf of New Mexico that the District of Col- of Carson had not Stophen B. Elkina had been _substituted | *" asa member of the national committee forthe gentleman previously announced, owing to the resignation of the latter, Conger, of the District of Columbia, again inquired whether Carson’s name had been put on the roll as a member of the national committee. The Chair—It has, Mr. Conger again protested but with- out success. The resolution limiting the speeches of nomination to ten minutes was passed, and the clerk proceeded to call the roll of states for nominations, No responso was heard until Illinois was reached, when Senator Plumb, of Kansas came forward. He said the convention had completed two of its most serious duties: the adoption of a platform and the nomination of a candi- date for president. Tho platform was one on which all good republicans could unite, and the candidate who could beat any democrat living or dead; but it was still important that the bost possiblo man should be named for the second place. 1t was but a matter of just recognition to the great army of scldiers of tho war for the Union that a representative from their number should be placed on second place of ticket. The Grand Army of the Republic had enrolled more than three-quarters of & million men, who lately wore the blue. In presenting namo from their ranks tho speakor roll on the nomination, and the motion being seconded, it was so ordered. When Oew York was reached George Wm. Curtis announced that the delega- tion was not quite ready and asked for further timo to make the count. The request was granted and the call was proceeded with Jof the remaining states, A laugh was raised when the Diatrict of Columbia was reached and its two delegatos roso in turn and voted for Logan, this being the first time since the opening of the convention on which they voted on the same side of any question before the house. NEW YORR'S DISSENTING SEVEN. The roll being completed, New York was again called, and Mr. Curtis an- nounced the vote of that state as 1 for Foraker, of Ohio; 6 for Gresham, of Indi- nmi 60 for Logan. The vote was unanimous with the ex- ception of these 7 votes from New York. Logan's total vote was 779, The nomin- ation was then made unanimous. The thanks of the convention were tondered to the temporary and perma- nent ofticers and the convention then ad- journed sine die. HURRAN FOR HOME, A large number of delegates to the couvention left by late trains. It is esti- mated that about half of the entire num- ber have already gone, and the corriders of tho hotels begin to look dreary and de- serted, and wrapped in the dust and litter which the thousands of muddy boots and myriads of clgar stubs alone can produce. FATHER O'REILEY'S PRAYER. ON OPENING THE EVENING SESSION, The Rev. Dr. O'Reilly addressed the Throne of Girace as follows: Lot w pray. Almighty and merciful God, who in thy wisdom, knoweth all hoarts, and in thy gooduoss guideth thacouncils of men, sond, wo bescoch thee, to give this assem- blage the light of thy countenance, and direct Its deliberations to the preservation of good couscience and the prosperity of this favored land. Bloss, we hoseech thee, the beneficent institutions of this great republic. Grant to it children furtherance of that liberty which was i horitago from pigys ancestors, Give them, O, God, the grace of fraternal charity and the wisdom of the fear of Theo, O clem- ent God, mercifully rogard not our ignorances; bo unmindful of our offences, mindful only of would mention a man fitted in evory way for first place; n man who would add strength to the ticket and justify the hopes and expoctations of the party. That man was Goneral John A. Logan. [Lond, long and renowed applause] Tho speaker did not present him in be- half of Tlliucis or any of the other states, but of tho wholo United States. He be- longed no moro to Iilinois than to Kan- nas, where 75,000 soldiors would receive the nows of his nomination with shouts of eladuess, The spenker was cominis- ued by the state of Kansas to make this nomination, [Applause]. JUDGE HOUCK, of Tenncssce, in seconding the nomiza- tion said that whilo the convention had not seen fit to nominate his first choice it had dome well and the speaker procoeded to pav a tribute to the “Plumed Knight” of Maine, He hoped the convention would come {1 a cormmon understanding and azreemn or the socond place on tho ticket, \Waun the wires should transmit the news of the nomination of General Logan to the sol dier boya of cast Tonnoseco thero would ba rejoicing among them as there would bo everywlicre at the presidential nomi- nee, Hin delegation was somewhat divided, but when they came to namo John A, Logan they were united, 24 strong. THURSTON, of Nebraska also seconded the nomina- tion, He wanted the republican party to write upon its banner the invincible legend **Blaine and Logan.” [Applause and cries of ‘time, tir LEE of Pennsylvania in further seconding the nomnation the convention had chos- en o its candidate for president a native of Pennsylvania, whose fame had grown too great for his native state and had be- come commensurate with the greatness of the nation, CONGHRESSMAN HORR of Michigan (from the head of his dele- gation) further seconded c¢he no mi. uation, saying that in nominating John A. Logan the convention would light the | soldiers camp fires from end to endof the *| which are being distributed everywhere | country Claucey, [colored] of North Carolina In seconding the nomination, said that thy mercy. Deliver us from all oyil, through o merits of thy divine Son, our lord and Suvior, Josus Christ. Amen, BATFL Cuicado, June G,—The proceodings in the cunvention to-day were accompanied by @scenes of tumultuous excitement, The interest in the balloting was little to again remind them of the triamph achieved by the Blaino forces, the huird- ing rocked under the impulse and the choering of their sympathisers, The chooring for Arthur and Logan was hearty, but the APEX OF ENTHUSTASM was touched only when the name of Blaino was sounded or his prospects of success seemed to increase, I Cali- fornians wero generally the | * of the whirlwind of excitementame = dele- gator, When Lllinois broke — ’acifie coast seized the bauner they 1 ¥ orne since leaving San Francisco =, pr coeded with it up and down | = Colorado unflurled a trumphan = bearing the picturo of the Maime V the standard being surmounted with a livo eagle. [Kansas exposed a banner boaring the inscription ‘40,000 majority forJames (i, Blaine ” These were borne by delogates through the main body of the audience, and the swaying multitude, the deafening roar, the sight of fluttering emblems, the crash of martial music, the ar of cannon and the answering shouts of the outside host, made up A SUENE RARELY T0 BE WIT D, and created asonsation to the boholder soldom to be oxperienced. Tho session was not ended until nearly five o'clock. and through nearly six hours the main body of the spectators had remainod to "bo present at the doecisive bal- lot. To-night there are a number of bon- fires and displays of firoworks, Lage crowds were on tho streets down town watching the bulletin boards and viewing the pyrotechnica. There wore also a number of hastily improvised torch light companies parading tho streets with musie, all of which served as a reminder that another politieal campaign is on. AT BLAINE'S HOME, SCENES IN AUGUSTA, Auausta, M., June 6.—All this after- noon people were congregated in the vicinity of the Western Union telegraph offico awaiving thoe doings of the conven- tion, The crewds grow denser and denser a8 tho news showing the ballots was re« ceived. When the final joyfnl tidings came, one grand hurrah burst forth from the great throng, and the acclamations which arose found one prolonged «cho, from one limit of Water street to the other. Hats were thrown wildly in the air and with joyous countenances the peo~ plo exchanged heartfelt congratulations, Men became wild and almost frenzied, They wrestled with each other. They LAUGHED AND SHOUTED FOR JOY. It seemed as if they could not be satise fied. It was not long before Water street was well nighlimpassable, carriages blocked the way, and where there were not vehicles the space was occupied by. people. At twenty minutes to b, less than five minutes after the news came, a mam- moth flag was swung to the breeze. As the banner was run up it was greeted ° withstentorian cheers,men shouting them- selves hoarse. Next they went up the street to where a large portrait of Blaine was seen hanging out, here they broke into a storm of cheers. To-night the city is not less excited than in the after- noon, When the 8 o’clock train arrived it was the signal for renewed cheering. One hundred Gardiner citigiens ¢amo up, and a large party from Hallowell, A pro- cesgion was immediately formed on Com- mercial street and moved down State street to BLAINE'S RESIDENCE. The houses and streets along the route were illuminated. 1In front of his resi- dences the procession halted. *‘Three cheers for the next president of the United States,” shouted the speaker of the party. A storm of cheers followed. In response Mr. Blaine appeared at the door and surveyed the assembled multi- tude for a moment. All demonstrations werequickly hushed and BLAINE 5POKE AS FOLLOWS: My friends and neighbors: T thank you most sincerely for the honor of this call, There in no spot in the world where good news comes to mo #o gratefully as hero at my own home, Among the people with whom I have bean on torms of friendship and intimacy for more than 30 years; people whom I know, and who know me, Thanking you again for the heartiness of the compliment I bid you good night. HOW HE RECEIVED THE NEWS. Avausra, June 6.—Blaine received the news of the balloting this afternoon while seated upon the lawn with the members of his family, laughing and com- menting on the reports as they came in in rapid succession, Blaine gave no sign that he was especially concerned in the proceedings at Chicago.
