THE MORNING SESSION.
ESTIMATE or vrnsr BALLOT


Night special 10 the Gazette.
CHICAGO, July l0.-In liz issue this
morning the Tribune gives the follow
Ing estimate OF strength If the various
candidates on first ballot; Cleveland,
3g7l; Bayard, l47!; Thurman, s.;
Randall, II; Mcdonald, 90; Carlisle,
-; Hoadly. -; scattering, 5. This
estimate was regarded at 0 o'clock this
evening a. being nearly correct, with
the exception Of Thurman's vote.
Thurman will hardly receive So votes
on the first nor OH the second. How
the third ballot will go no one pretends
to predict, unless IL results In IA perfect
stampede for Cleveland. Hoadly's
twenty-five votes will go chiefly to
Cleveland on the second ballot. The
other candidates are
TREMBLING IN FEAR
lest this break In Onto for Cleveland
may result In his overwhelming nomi-
nation. Many wagers AR. being made
that Cleveland will be nominated on
the third or fourth ballot
Last night was frosty and cold.
The Thurman boom stayed out all
night and caught very bad cold. IL

Ierized those Of the first two days.
The audience Itself was greater than IL
has been since the opening. The dis
position shown by lilac delegates
Wednesday to
ADMIT THE WORLD
bore abundant fruits. Less vigilance
WAS practiced mt the doors and many
people secured admission without
tickets. Az n consequence the
hall was crowded from PIT to dome.
All along the galleries men hung
upon the rafters. wedged behind other
men. The addition 10 the numbers
made the scene one of spirit and ami
nation not equaled bv that OF the pre-
. ceding days, IL was an audience such
as any orator would he glad to speak
, To. In 'front.' were IN. delegates,
wrapped In attention and noting every
word that fell from the president' y
lips. To the right, extending TO the
back of the
MAMMOTH souNpiNU-DoARD
was "A sea OF upturued faces, enhanced
10y myrlads OF different colors. Ladies'
formed at least one-fourth of the au.
dience; many of them were wives aud
daughters of the delegates. Once In "A
while u red speck was visible In the
great audience. III was red bandana

'on the speakers stage were a number
oistrong'looking men, Gov Hubbard,
w. II. English. Speaker Carlisle and
Sereeanl-at Arms Bright We're the
most conspicuous.
During the proceedings President
Villas turned once In n while to secure
point ON ruling from Carlisle. Al.
together the scene from the stand was
such as is seldom witnessed.
,tien. Mansur Of Missouri took the
platform 10 finish his secondinp or
Thurman. His Voice was husky, and
he did not Inspire an much enthl,siasui
as he might have done. Gen. Mansur
gave way to
A TALL, siaM MAN,
with red hair, red mustache and
goatee. The name OF this gentleman
WAS Thomas II. Powell Of Ohio. who
responded to the call OF that state.
There was doubt among the audiences
as Ia what he intended 10 do. Tothose
who recognized John II, Mclean as
the man who introduced him. Il WAS
evident that he intended Ia place Gov.
Hoadly In nomination, He did so In
u fair speech, dwelling on the govern.
T's success In Ohio and the fact that
Nv Ind never suffered defeat, The
NOMINATION was received rather coldIy.
Not so the nomination OF Samuel j
