ONE VOTE FOR SHERIDAN.
When the territory OF Wyoming was called
the response which hadinvariably been "Grant,
Blaine' was changed to Blaine. i: Gen. Phillo
N. Sheridan, l." For some time it was sup
posed the last vote was for Sherman, and the
clerk SO announced 1T, but when the real fac5
came out it was appreciated by the convention
and audience and there was good deal OF en-
thus1asm stirred up. Gen. Sheridan, who had
a seat on the platform, was approached by
Chairman Hoar and pleasantly congratulated.
GEN. sHERIDAN's LITTLE SPEECH
IheD, with the assent of the chair, the
general stepped to the edge OF the platform
bowed his acknowledgment and said: I am
very much obliged to the delegate from Wyom-
ing 10r mentioning my name in the convention
and there is no way in which could accept a
nomination by this convention except would
he permitted to turn 1t over to my best friend
[CheerS]

chairman alphabetically said that the chair
had presumed upon the permission OF the con

Ceedlngs; that, however, would be a privilege
accorded to no other person whatever. The
result of the ballot was then announced:

Ida voted, a delegate questioned the accuracy
or It's announcement. A Kentucky delegate
made the point OF order that under the rules
no one could question the announcement OF a
vote except member Of the delegation whose
vote is challenged. AT first the chair ruled that
any member OF the convention could so chal-
!eDge, but reversed mis- decision after the rule
had been read so as the challenge Of Florida'S
vote came from outside OF the state 1t was not
entertained.
