The hour SET for the meeting Of the convention
was 10 o'clock, at which time not more than one
fifth of the delegates were In their seats One dele

the men looking weary and hagRard after their all

their candidate was concerned. They had a.
ranged for the hulk Of the Pennsylvania vote ON
tho third ballot but the emergency required moro
prompt action, and before the ballot
began the spokesman Of tho Pennsylvania
delegation rose and withdrew tho namo of
Samuel J. Randall. The Cleveland men had
flso reached satisfactory understanding with
Illinois and Wisconsin,. and Chairman Mannings
face wore a moro cheerful expression after a short
conference with Colonel Morrison. The Cleveland
men were also assured of additional votes from
North Carolina. Texas. Missodri and several other
States on the third ballot. An effort at once
put forth to have portion of these votes trans
teIred on the second ballot and 1t succeeded.
HOW TIRE HENDRICKS TRAP WAS SPRUNG.
The roll-call began. Cleveland gained one vote
In Alabama from Thurman and one in Colorado also
from Thurman Florida gave Bayard two votes at
the expense of Cleveland, but Georgia repaired
the damage by giving the latter Il votes gain OF
{ ~ the expense of Bayard and Randall. When
Illinois was called the Hendricks trap was sprung
One OF the delegates from that State yesterday cast
bis vote for Hendricks and it attracted not the
slightest attention from anybody except Hendricks,
who rose and asked that IL be withdrawn, "as il
placed him wrongly before the convention" When
General Palmer began his report of the vote of the
Illinois delegation to-day by " one vote for Thomas
a. Hendricks" hls voice was Immediately
drowned 10y a tempest of applause that
beginning in the south gallery spread
like wildire throughout the great hail. and swept
everything before it. For time it seemed that
two-thirds of the delegates were on their feet
stamping, shouting, and acting like madmen.
The Indiana standard was torn from its fastcn-
ings and wildly waved by frantic Hoosier who
marched up and down an aisle, and at last
mounted the platform in front of tho charman's
desk. The Indiana delegates sprang upon chairs
and led the cheering, which no sooner subsided in
one place than ii broke out with stlll greater
violence III another place. A Southern
delegate opened his umbrella, and in momentary
lull OF the tempest, shouted in stentoran voice TO
his colleagues 20 come in out of the wetD The
Tamnany ard Butler delegates led the tumult IN
the New-YOrk and Massachusetts, delegations
Grady and Purcell were conspicuous and seemed
~ be in a frenzy of joyous excitement. The band
was cldered TO play TO quiet the excitement but it
only contributed minor tone to the resoundng
one. Amidst the tumult Hendricks, whose eyes
ghstened with hope and pride half rose TO his feet
once or twice apparently with some intention of
making Speech, but voorhees, pulled him down in
10 his seat. Henry WattersOn, ex- Senator Wallace
and Others gathered around the Indiana delegates
ana seemed to be trying TO reason with them. The
hehdrlchs men cast anxious glances toward the
OAlo delegation Tor signs of syInpathy but drew no
comfort from the red bandanna mounted on a walk

beiore them. In dumb show the chairman agaln
