When the state of Illinois was reached, Gen.
Palmer arose to announce the vote and said:
Illinois casts one vote for
THOMAS A. HENDRICKS,
and then paused as if waiting for the outcome of
some preconcerted arrangement. He cast his
eye towards the Missouri delegation and appar-
emily in response Gen. Mansur, of Missouri,
jumped up and emitted a terrific yell. This was
Immediately taken up by the audience, and a
tremendous howl arose from all parts Of the hall
south of the space allotted to delegates. The
excitement and noise swept gradually around
among the audience in the rear of the delegates
and rolled in tremendous wave through the
vast mass Of spectators congregated in the north
wing of the chamber. The chair raped the
eplmters off his table in an effort to curb the
demonstration, but he might as well have
attempted 10 stop an eruption Of
Vesuvius with the tap Of a tack hammer. So far
the excitement had been confined to the audi
ence with the exception Of few enthusiastic
delegates. who remaining in their seats, waved
their fans and handl1erchiefs. At length little
CommUtiOn was visible in the New York delega-
ton, and the grim vsage of the grand sachem of
Tammany hall was slowly rising out Of the
confusion ike the light Of Eddystone a dark
night. Mr., Kellys mouth wide open
the large ortice of pound net, but whatever in
dividual noise was being emitted by the gentle
drowned in the frightful uproar which
had taken possession Of the hall. Mr.. Kcllys
rising appeared to be the signal
for general demonstration on the
part Of the anti Cleveland men in the convention.
Delegates i'll all parts Of the space within the
railing, sprung upon their chairs and raised yell
OF such proportions and intensity that

shouted something into the charman's

listen but continued to thump the desk with his
gayal md Mr.. Gibson retired with half uttered
unathcma the Internal idiocy Of anybody who
would attempt to contrayene so evident an indi-
cation OF the popular Will. In the meantime the
audience and delegates Wed with each other in
producing ear splitting noices which drowned
out the voices Of two three dozen Cleveland
men who were attempting to get the ear Of the
chair With all this turmoil about him Gov.
Hendricks preserved an external calmness
wldch contrusted strikingly with the frenzy
which possessed the vast assembly. lie sat as
if frozen fast to his chair and resisted the de-
termincd efforts Of Il hord Of bowling delegates
who tried TO drag him to his feet. A number of
Tammunyites resumed their seats but senator
Grady danced about on his chair violently waving
Rncwspuper and opening his mouth to such Il
width that it seemed if it could of itself take
IN and dispose Of every Cleveland man in the
New York delegation. one good old soul in the
east gallery while engaged in fourishiug large

bald head Of Il venerable delegate from Ohio

OF the audience was like that of an

tortured by violent gale. All at once, out OF
the terrific uproar came voice like the
blast OF II fog-horn in agony and
MIR. Beck, of Indiana, materialized
with call for three cheers for Thos A. Hen

veuumous god will, and were supplemented by
good old southern yell for Hendricks from Gen,
Mmsur, of Missouri. Having given vent to his
cxubcruut feelings, Gen. Mansur forced his way
through The crowds in the aisle and climbed up
b. Chairman Villas position with statement
that Missouri wished to cast its vote solid for
Thos A. Hendricks, but the chairman with q
few vigorous thumps of his gavel, which now
began to look worn and frayed at the edges, in
formed the Mssourian that he was out OF order
Mr. Quarlcs also tried his hand on the chair
man. but with no better success than that
achieved hy Gen. Mausur Gen. Bragg, Of Wis
cuusiu attempted TO get IN a word on the score
OF old friendship and previous acquaintance with
the chair. but COL Villas Steruly repudiated all
personal claims. aud continued to belabor his
desk and call for order. out of the confusion
rose the clarion voice OF Secretary Tom Bell,
regulating the call for the vote OF Illinois. But
neither from Illinois nor any other common
wealth came any audible response, except yells
for Hendricks The deareuins uproar had now
usurpcd the rights Of all other business for 8
pcriodof eighteen minutes, which was going one
minute better than the Blaine demonstration in

subsidized. and finally Mr. Voorhees, voice was

The chair said: Gentlemen Of the convention.
take Your seats, the gentleman from Indiana has
the floor.
Several delegates attempted to speak, but the
chair stated that he would recognize no one but
the gentleman from Indiana. Some Of the long
r-twinded enthusiasts in the south gallery made
ayolcut attempt TO renew the general turmoil,
bur their force was overcome by the Kisses OF the
more sober and better reserved portion OF the
audience Mr.. Voorhees, then spoke as follows ::
