Moa.1.tna Session.

The chairman said he had received letters and
and kilograms from all parts of the country
among others one from Mr.. Goodwin, of Massa-
chussets, with the presentation of q gavel made
up from woods and relics from different parts of
the world
Then Snowden, of Pennsylvania, with thanks
to those who had voted for Samuel j. Randall,
withdrew that gentlemans
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. BE cast his
eye towards the Missouri delegation, and appar-
emily in response Gen. MGnsur of Missouri,
jumped up and emitted terrific yell. This was
immediately taken up by the audience, and a
tremendous howl arose from all parts of the hall
south Of inc space allotted to delegates The
excitement and noise swept gradually around
among ihe audience in the rear Of the delegates,
and roEed in a tremendous wave through the
vast mass Of spectators congregated in the north
wing of the chamber. The chair raped the
kphrters off his table in an effort to curb the
Decentralization, but he might as well have
attempted to stop On eruption of
V,suyius with tle tap of a tack hammer. So far
snce, with the exception of few enthusiastic
delegates, who, remaining in their seats, waved
their fans and handkerchef5. At length little
commotion visible in the New York deega-
ton, and the grim visage of the grand sachem of
Tammany hall was slowly rising out of the
confusion like the light of Eddystone on a dark
night. Mr., Kelly smouth was as wide open as
the large orifice of pound net, but whatever in
dividu0l noise was being emitted by the gentle
man was drowned in the frightful uproar which
had taken possession of the hall. Mr. Kelly's
rising appeared to be the signal
for a general demonstration on the
part Of the anti Cleveland men in the convention.
Delegates in ali parts Of the space within the
railing, sprung upon their chairs and raseda yell
of such proportions and intensity that
THE PUTTY DROPPED OUT
or the immense sashes which composed the roof
Of the convention hall. Prominent among the
members of the body who assisted in creating
This section of Bedlum were the delegations from
Indiana, Missouri, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and
the Tammauy end of the New York delegation.
In the midst of the turmoil the band struck up
Hail to the Chief, and the laundering noise Of the
demonstration increased in volume until the
strains of music were lost in the deafening up
;oar. One enthusiastic delegate from Indiana,
Mr. Gibson, seized the Indiana marker and bore
il to the chairmans desk, waving it frantically
is he passed up the aisle, and
shouted something into the chairman's
ear. The chair. however, refused to
listen but continued to thump the desk with his
gayal and Mr.. Gibson retired with half uttered
anathema on the internal idiocy Of anybody who
would attempt to contravene evident ndi
cation of the popular will In the meantime the
audience and delegates wed with each other in
producing ear splitting noices which drowned
ont the voices Of two or 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
which contrusted strlngly with the frenzy
which possessed the vast assembly. He sat Us
if frozen fast to his chair and resisted the de-
tcrmined efforts OF a hord Of howlIng delegates
who tried to drag hm to his feet. A number OF
Tammanyitos resumed their seats but senator
Grady danced about on his chair violently waving
newspaper and opening his mouth to such Il
width that it seemed as if it could Of itself take
IN and dispose OF every Cleveland man i'll the
New York delegation. one good old soul in the
east gallery, while engaged in fourishiug large
bingham umbrella dropped the weapon, which
houted down like parachute AMI lighted on the
bald head OF venerable delegate from Ohio.
Flags, handkerchcfs, fans, hats, and even coats
and shawls were brought into use by the Hen
ducks sympathizers in the audience, and view
Of the audience like that of an

tortured by violent gale. All at once, out OF
the terrific uproar, came voice like the
blast of fog horn in agony and
MIR. Beck, Of Indiana, materiazcd
with a call for three cheers for Thos. \. Hen
bricks The cheers were given with an almost
venomous sod will and were supplemented by
good old southern yell for Hendricks from Gen,
Mahsur. of Missouri Having given vent to his
cxuberaut feelings, Gen. Mansur forced his way
through the crowds in the aisle and climbed up
10 Chairman Villas position with statement
that Missouri wished to cast its vote solid for
Thos. A. Hendricks, but the chairman with a
few vigorous thumps of his gavcl, which now
began to look worn and frayed at the edges, in
formed the MssCurian that he was out OF order.
MIR Quarlcs also tried his hand on the chair
man, but with better success than that
achieved by Gen. Mansur Gen Bragg, of Wis
corsu, attempted TO get in word on the score
of old friendship and previous acquaintance wish
the chair, but Col Villas sternly repudiated ali
personal claims, and continued to beabor his
desk and call for order. Out OF the confusion
rose the clarion voice Of Secretary Tom Bell,
repudatng 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 deafeniug uproar had now
usurped the rights Of all other business for a
period of eighteen minutes, which was going one
minute better than the Blaine demonstration in
the Republican convention month ago. The
erect form OF the
TALL SYCAMORE OF THE WABASH
Dan Voorhees,, appeared At the side OF the chair
man, and the noise aud excitement gradually
Eubsided, and finally Mr.. Voorhees, voice WAS
heard colliug Nix. Chairman
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
est wiuded enthusiasts in the south gallery made
violent attempt TO renew the general turmoil,
but their force was overcome by the Kisses OF the
more sober and better reserved portion of the
audience. Mr.. Voorhees, then spoke as follows
Gentlemen of the convention: l understand

at this time. / am reminded by the chairman
that nominations are not now in order. l stand
