Especial Telegram To the Globe.
CHICAGO, July 11.-This was the first hot
day Of the convention. ! am now speaking
of the weather, as usual, for there have been
hotter days in tie convention than the pres
ent one Tie stage of the proceedings had
been reached when the New Workers could
not jaw at each other, and it had tendency
to facilitate business.
So many delegates were in doubt as to
whether the convention met at ten or eleven
that the assembling was slow. The motion
OF the previous evening was originally made
for eleven O'Clock and amended to ten. AS
the chairman put the motion he announced
it eleven and then corrected himself to ten,
bnt comparatively few heard the correction,
and the consequence was that it after
eleven before the convention was called to
order to-day.
There was the usual opening prayer, this
time by the Rev Clinton Lack, of Grace
Episcopal church. and the usual invitation
was extended to the audience to rise during
its delivery.
The first matter Of business was the inevi-
table resolution which came to the front in
the hands of DR.. Munford, Of the Kansas
City Times. He desired to prevent a STAN
pede during the balloting, and offered res
olution prohibiting the change of vote
while the roll was in progress. The conven
ton evidently preferred to have stampede
rather than stand three or four days of bal
loting, and promptly voted down the Nun
ford resolution. The next event was the APP
pearance of Gen. Cox, of Pennsylvania, who,
when he had claimed the attention of the
chair, withdrew the name Of Randall.
After some pertinent remarks from the
chairman urging the convention to keep
quiet during the balloting-remarks which
chairman always make and which are always
dsrcgarded-the roll call was begun on the
first ballot OF the day and the second ballot of
the convention. 1t began rather quietly,
everybody being ready with tally sheets and
pencils and also with papers giving the ballot
last night, so that Il comparison could be
made at the vote proceeded. Alabama show
cd gain Of one for Cleveland and was APP
plaudcd for her efforts.
There was no other change until Florida
was reached, when there was a loss of two
for Cleveland, aud again two for Bayard,
which called out little Bayard boom, but
nothing celebrating.
Georgia gained two for Cleveland, and the
cheers which went up showed that the Cleve-
land men had their whoopers-up well in
hand.
THE HENDRICKS BOOM.
The next and l might say the great sensa-
of i,, Il be, oil
Last night when Illinois cast one vote for
Heddricks Mr.. Hendricks Immediately arose
and asked that the delegate from Illinois
who had voted for him withdraw the vote, Us
II placed him in a false position toward his
friend Mr.. Mcdonald, but the vote was not
withdrawn and the vote stood, 'ITendricks
one" When Gov Palmer arose to announce
the vote of Illinois this morning, there was
good deal of expectancy among
the initiated It had been whis-
pored about that the vote of Illinois
or n very considerable portion of it was given
10 Hendricks, and arrangements had evil
IDENTITY been perfected to give that change a
great send of in the convention. This part
of the programme missed ire,-that is the
securing of 4 large number of votes for Hen
bricks from that delegation. a stawart org,
Ed. Pelican, by name, still stood by Hen
bricks aud the first vote announced by Gov.
Palmer was Hendricks one" Notwith-
standing there was some disappointment
among the managers at the lack OF growth in
the Hendricks vote, the arranged plan for
applause was carried out to the letter and it
was admirably done. The galleries and the
audience took up the shout and it soon ex-
Iended to the convention and a
very large number were on
their feet, in their chairs,
swinwiug banners, throwing up hats, swing
ing haudlerchefs, papers and anything con-
yeuient 10 he taken hold Of, and screaming
at the top Of their voices. G. II. y. Gibson

plausehad been continued about five minutes.
seized the banner Of that state, flag staff
with a small flag at the top and the name of
the state on printed card fastened thereto,
and marching up to the presidents rcstrum,
mounted it and stood by the presidents
desk. Col Villas almost grew belGgerent at
this Intrusion, he raised his gavel as though
he were about to strike his visitor, but it was
only Tor the purpose of using it to wave
him of the platform. Gibson in his en- thu-
siasm was too happy over the boom that was
in progress over Hendricks to no
dce the swinging Of the gavel,
and Col. Villas accordingly called
one Of the deputy sergeant at arms, and di-
rected him to remove the delegate from the
rostrom. The sergeant at arms tapped him
on the shoulder and notified him that he was
''out Of order upon which he moved slow
" away. But l noticed it took him good
while TO get OF the platform, and he swung
the standard Of Indiana over his head about
fifty times while he was going five or six
feet TO the edge Of the platform, where he
finally took plunge down smong the dele
gates. The applause continued. aud Gibson,
marching back to his seat, mounted chair and
