INCIDENTS
When the State of Illinois was
called General Palmer arose to an.
nounce the vote aud said, "Illinois
cssts one vote for Thomas A. Hem
dricks" and then paused as if
waiting for the outcome OF some
precoucersed arrangement. He cast
his eye towards the Missouri dele
CATION, and apparently in response
General Mansur jumped up and
emitted a terrific yell This was
Immediately taken up by the audi
ence and a tremendous howl arose
from all parts of the hall south of
the space allotted to delegates. The
excitement and noise swept grada~
ally around among the audience in
the rear Of the delegates and rolled
in a tremendous wave through the
vast mass of spectators, congregased
in the north wing of the chamber.
The chair raped several things eff
the table in order to curb the DEM
but he might as
well have attempted to stop
the eruption Of Visuvius with
the tap Of a tack hammer. So far
the excitement had been confined
to the audience, with the excep-
ton of few enthusiastic ,legates,
who, remaining in their seats,
waved their fans and handkerchief
At length commotion was visible
in the New York delegation, and
the grim visage ofthe grand sachem
of Tammsny Hall was seen slowly
rising out of the confusion like the
light of Eddystone on dark night.
Mr.. Kelly's mouth was wide open,
as large as the orifice of pound
nut, bat whenever individual noise
was being emitted by the gentle-
man, it was drowned in the fright
full upro2r which had taken possess
sion of the hall. Mr.. Kelly's ris-
ing appeared to be the signal for
general demonstration on the psrt
Of anti-Gleveland men in the con-
yention. Delegates in all parts of
the space within the railing sprung
upon their chairs and raised a tre-
mendOus commotion. A pulley
dropped out OF one OF the immense
sashes, which composed the root of
the crown hall. Prominent among
the members Of the body who created
this ssction OF bedlam were the
delegations from Indiana, Missouri,
Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Fam
many. In the midst of the turmoil
the band struck up "Hail to the
Chief" and the laundering noise Of
the demonstration increased in vol
ume and the strains of the music
were lost in the uproAr. An
enthusiastic delegate from IniiaIa,
Gibson, seized the Indiana marker
and DOee it 80 the chairman's desk,
waving it fran,ically as he passed
up the aisle, aud shouted something
in the chairman's ear. The chair,
however, fused t listen, but con
TIL ued to taunder he desk with his
gave|, and Mr. Gibson retired with
a haif uttered snathema on the in
f. rnal ididcy OF anybo ~ who would
attempt to coutravene 30 evident sn
exhibition of popular Will. in the
the eedience and dele
gates Wed with esch ether in pro-
ducing ear splitting noises, which
drowned out the voices of the two
Or three dozen Cleveland men who
were attempting to get the ear of
the chair. With all this turmoil
about him Hendricks preserved
cslmness, which contrasted strik
ingIy with the frenzy which pos.
sessed the vas5 assembIsge He eat
as if frozen fast to his chair and re.
sisted the determined efforts Of the
horde of bowling delegates who
tried to drag him to his feet. A
number Of Tammanyites resumed
their feet, but Senator Grady
about on his chair violently,
waved newspaper and opening his
to such q width that it
seemed as if it would take in and
dispose of every Cleveland man in
the New York del. cation. One good
OLD Eoul in the east gall2ry, while en-
gagei in fourishing large glngham
dropped the weapon
which fcated down like parachute
and lodged on the bold head of a
veI cradle delegate from Ohio.
Flags, handkerchiefs, fans and even
caps and shawls were brought into
use by Hendricks sympathisers in
the audience and the view
Of the audience was like that
Of an Illinois brushpatch
tortured by a violent gale. All at
once out of the terrific uproar came
8 voice like the blast OF q fog horn
ID sgouy and Mr.. Beck, of Indisna,
eleerif q ho convention with a cali
for three cheers for rhos. A. Hem
bricks. The cheers were QiVen with
