When in the Sixteenth century the people of Holland, oppressed by Spanish tyranny, sought cat the Princess Margaretan an amelioration of taeir condition, they were called by the premier at the palace 'guex' (beggars.) Stung by the reproach, but glorying in their cause, the people took up the name. 'Long live the guei,' they cried. Almost ere the sun had set the name became the password of liberty, the battle-cry of freedom, the terrors'of the oppressors, and the 'guex' threw off and trampled on the Spanish yoke.

A resolu tlon was adopted that the time of presenting namcB of candidates be limited to ten minutes each. (Great uproar prevailed, and a delegate from New York stated that he would suspend all business until order was restored if he were in the chair). Soon the booming of the old cannon on the wharf at City Hall, said to be one that wai used on the Boxer during her fight with the Enterprise, gave the first boom for Blaine that was sounded in the State of Maine. Crowds began to gather, church bells rang and whistles from factories and steamers shrieked the news. Bells and guns from Hallo well and Gardener, two and a half miles away, joined the din. The family soon lost their reserve and joined in the excitement. Democrats joined in the ovation. Every store, workshop and factory in the city emptied its occupants upon the street. Congratulatory dispatches kept coming in as fast as the facilities of the telegraph office could receive them. Extra operators and a large forco of messengers were put on.

The platform was good enough for any one to stand upon, and the candidate can boat any one the Democrats can norai nale, be he dead or alive. This was the first time since the war when the candidate was not a soldier, but twenty years later the people aro bound together by ties as sacred ai twenty years ago. It was due the soldiers that a fit representative of them should have the second place on that ticket He must be statesman as well as a soldier. He then considered the importance of elections.

Not a word of what he was saying, however, could be heard a yard away.

Chaffee nodded compliance, and a two-line note was fired across the room to Foraker. The resolution wa promptly withdrawn, and the taking of the fourth ballot began. Before the vote of Alabama could be recorded, however, there was another uproarious scene, in which Dutcher, Roosevelt and other prominent New York delegates took part upon a technical point relative to the motion for a recess. Once again the audience hooted until it was hoarse, and numerous uncomplimentary epithets were leveled at the Gotham millionaires. When Illinois was reached both the audience and the chair refused tr allow Ju.lgo Thurston, of Nebraska, supported tl-,0 nomination.

He pledged the support of th« Republicans of Kentucky to the plumed candidate of the party. At this point the audience became impatient. Morey, of Louisiana, was given the platform to speak "for the solid delegation of several southern states" in support of Logan. but his remarks were drowned in cries of Richmond, Va., June 7.—The Richmond Whig of today says, under the heading oi "The Next President" : "The national Republican convention yesterday crowned us with the nomination of that distinguished statesman, James Q.

Elsewhere the news was received as a matter of coirso. The nomination of Blaiue was tlio principal topic of conversation at the different hotels. While many would have preferred that Arthur had been the choice of the convention, nearly all were unanimous in saying that Blaiue will make one of the strongest candidates that could have been selected, and besides the large Celtic vote that he will receive all over the country, it is asserted that the friends and followers of Garfield will support unU work for him.

When in the Sixteenth century the people of Holland, oppressed by Spanish tyranny, sought cat the Princess Margaretan an amelioration of taeir condition, they were called by the premier at the palace 'guex' (beggars.) Stung by the reproach, but glorying in their cause, the people took up the name. 'Long live the guei,' they cried. Almost ere the sun had set the name became the password of liberty, the battle-cry of freedom, the terrors'of the oppressors, and the 'guex' threw off and trampled on the Spanish yoke.

Soon the booming of the old cannon on the wharf at City Hall, said to be one that wai used on the Boxer during her fight with the Enterprise, gave the first boom for Blaine that was sounded in the State of Maine. Crowds began to gather, church bells rang and whistles from factories and steamers shrieked the news. Bells and guns from Hallo well and Gardener, two and a half miles away, joined the din. The family soon lost their reserve and joined in the excitement. Democrats joined in the ovation. Every store, workshop and factory in the city emptied its occupants upon the street. Congratulatory dispatches kept coming in as fast as the facilities of the telegraph office could receive them. Extra operators and a large forco of messengers were put on.

The platform was good enough for any one to stand upon, and the candidate can boat any one the Democrats can norai nale, be he dead or alive. This was the first time since the war when the candidate was not a soldier, but twenty years later the people aro bound together by ties as sacred ai twenty years ago.

Not to be deterred by the feeling of the convention, however, Theodore Roosevelt, of New York, carried away by excitement, rose in Iris seat, frantically waived his arms and shouted at the top of his voice. Not a word of what he was saying, however, could be heard a yard away. Mr. Foraker, of Ohio, helped tc make the confusion-more confounded with s proposition IN THE CONVENTION HALL, from the moment that the call of the first ballot was made until the formal announce ■lent of the chairman that "James G.

The of the third ballot was chiefly notable for the indignant protests which were mado by the delegates from the Pacific coast •gatwt the action of several of the New Vork delegation in entering their camp and attempting to lobby.

It if possible that Foraker's motion might have prevailed had not Phelps, of New Jersey, rushed up to Senator Chaffee and begged him for Go4's sake not to allow this fatal mistake to be made. Chaffee nodded compliance, and a two-line note was fired across the room to Foraker. The resolution wa promptly withdrawn, and the taking of the fourth ballot began. Before the vote of Alabama could be recorded, however, there was another uproarious scene, in which Dutcher, Roosevelt and other prominent New York delegates took part upon a technical point relative to the motion for a recess. Once again the audience hooted until it was hoarse, and numerous uncomplimentary epithets were leveled at the Gotham millionaires. When Illinois was reached both the audience and the chair refused tr allow Ju.lgo Thurston, of Nebraska, supported tl-,0 nomination. Senator Lee, of Pennsylvania, also said a IV w u-nn'.s in support of the nomination, and (Iorr, of Michigan, rose in bis place on th* Hour and gave support to the nomination. Bradley, of Kentucky, rounded off the oratory for Logan, and, incidentally speaking, is one of tl)0 gallant band who stood by Ches ter A. Arthur. He pledged the support of th« Republicans of Kentucky to the plumed candidate of the party. At this point the audience became impatient. Morey, of Louisiana, was given the platform to speak "for the solid delegation of several southern states" in support of Logan. but his remarks were drowned in cries of Richmond, Va., June 7.—The Richmond Whig of today says, under the heading oi "The Next President" : "The national Republican convention yesterday crowned us with the nomination of that distinguished statesman, James Q.
