addressed from one of the wings from be-

stopped shoulders and heavy gait of ex-senator
Thurman. The Convention bazed up again with a
rush of cheering which continued intermittently
while Powell spoke, and started the rafters he
placed the name of Durbn Ward in nomination.
Mr.. Thurman sat a few feet away during this speech
and at its close shambed forward. holding q note
book. A fresh outburst greeted him. When at last
he was allowed to proceed he read from the note
book, resting it on bis lame arm as he turned tho
pages, and stopping midway in his sentences to

came from the gallery, as o sturdy,
black k-bearded Irishmen faced the delegates. Ryan
put Hoadly in nomination, and the majority from
Cincinnati set about discounting the noise that the
minority had made Ward. There was not
more than ordinary enthusiasm in other parts of the
hall. but Cincinnati was demonstrative enough for
whole convention.
The dissenting delegates sat gloomy and silent,
until one of them calling for cheers for Ward sent
hats flying in the gallery. and brought delegates to
their feet cheering for their favorites. No one fol-
lowed Mr.. Ryan for Hoady. but there were two
speeches for George w. Geddes and then balloting
began.
THE CONVENTION IN AN UPRoAR.
The Butler County convention had in
structed tho delegation from that county
to vote for Hoadly, but half of the
delegates favored Ward. The county chairman
announced the vote in accordance with instruc-
tions. The Ward delegates protested. Sides were
taken all over the hall, and proceedings were
checked that the delegates might wrange over the
announcement. The appointment of sergeants-at-
early In the day had cleared the aisIes, but
now they were again blocked with q coatless crowd
all talking at once. Mr.. McSweeny mopped bis
face and looked around pleadingly for help. The
heavy cane had been doing service as a gavel so far
with slight effect, but now its ponderous rappings
were almost unheard. The crowd was pressing
toward the platform, orators gestculatng
wildly without hearing their own voices. The
point at issue was overs seven votes for
Ward. Mr.. McSweeny gave up in despair,
his hand The uproar was for an instant suspended,
only to be redonbled when he had proposed that
every delegate be allowed to vote as he pleased;
Mr. Armstrong of Cleveland, screeched demand
that the motion be tabled. A vote by counties was
taken. and the motion 10 table failed by small
majority. This set the Ward men in a frenzy of
exuberance, and an hour and a half passed before
sheer fatigue allowed the roll call to proceed.
THE UNIT RULE BROKEN.
The first ballot left Hoadly thirty short of ma
jority, and Ward thirty behind Hoadly. Then 1T
was the turn of Hoadly's supporters to shout. The
Butler County performance was repeated on the
second ballot. Half the Butler County delegates
wanted to be heard at The first ballot orators
were reinforced by score of others.
One of them in his ardOr lifted the
silk hat from the head of man III front of him and
flung il across the hall. Mr. McSweeny banged
away at the table, and then advanced 20 the foot
lights, which be knocked out OF shape with the
heavy end OF the cane, before he could make Elm-
self heard. Then he ruled that the Butler delegates
might vote slngly Hood OF curses and cheers
was let loose by this decision, but II stood, and at
last the ballot was completed through fury Of
excitement. Then came the turning point OF the
day. HOadly and Ward had both made gains n

and big diamond flashing on his hand he hurled
defiance at Hoadly and called on the Ward men TO

stage. Hoadys nomination then being
assured, General Powell moved to make
