this announcement was understood by
the spectators the roof was almost
lifted from the building. Nobody at
tempted to do anything bat cheer.
All this time Hendricks sat in his seat
shaking hands with those who came to
see him, n CLEAN of triumph in his
fine face, and it look for moment as
il the magic of his presence had turn
ed the tide of battle against Cleveland.
This tremendous Hendricks boom was
stemmed materially when Gen. John.
G. Black, of Illinois, with look Of
disgust on his face because of Indiana's
deserving Mcdonald, announced from
from his chair that Illinois increased
her vote for Cleveland from fourteen
to thirty eight. This gave Cleveland's
friends new courage, aud another hur-
rah time began and about the same
scene was enacted as that which
greeted the name of Hendricks and it
became apparent that the fight was
coming down to Cleveland and Hem
bricks, with Cleveland still leading.
When Indiana was called she cast
thirty votes for Hendricks, and then
another scream came which lasted
fully ten minutes. When Kentucky
was called Mckenzie withdrew Car
isles name.
| The roll-call was one OF the longest
and most exciting ever seen in a ma
tional convention. The sudden
changes and sensational surprises ex-
ceeded anything eyer seen before in
these parts. Every word uttered from
first to last seemed TO create excite
ment and elicit applause in some quar-
tiers. There was q great scene when
the roll-call was finished and Pcnnsyi-
vania came into the hall from its meet
ing in the dining room. When it an
nounced that of its sixty votes forty
two had gone to Gle veland, it was felt
that the cat had positively jumped
and there was considerable noise only
limited by the physical exhaustion Of
delegates and spectators. When it
was announced that she gave eleven
votes to Hsndricls, there was another
wild demonstration, but every one
saw that tho nomination had been
made and that the applause which
greeted the name of Governor Cleve-
land, the next president of the United
States, almost exhausted tho delegates
and spectators.
Texas voted, on tho cnll Of her name,
as follows: Cleveland, 10; Bayard, Iii;
Thurman, J, Hendricks, l.. She after
wards changed this vote to fourteen
for Cleveland aud then changed again,
giving the rraat Nav Yarkar- txantu-
It was found that the nomination was
assured beyond doubt, were anxious
to change their votes. This was dono
aud when the nomination was made
unanimous there was repetition of
preceding scene, which beggar des-
cription. A large picture of Cleveland
was brought in and provoked more
enthusiasm. Outside the booming of
cannon was heard and applauded.

ing. Delegates came in struggling and
looked rest broken and anxious. The
first arrival that created cheer was
that of John Kelly, who walked
doggedly to his seat as If the subse
quent proceedings interested him no
more. Soon nfterward Hendricks
came in and received another Of those
remarkable ovati0ns which he has
been piling up for two days with great
rapicity. Thurman modestly kept his
room at the hotel. Hendricks looked
happy and hopeful beyond all expires
sion. 1t was obvious that no was
marked for some sort Of favor before
the convention adjourned.
An effort was made by Morrison
Munford to have passed q resolution
prohibiting states from changing their
votes until the succeeding ballot, but
was promptly voted down.
The name of Randall was then with
drawn, to the surprise of everyone. No
applause greeted the announcement.
The order of business was resumed
and balloting was proceeded with. Ac-
cessions to Cleveland began from the

hearty "Thank God!" aud my soul was

moments ! retired TO, my secret chamber
to thank Him on my. knees for His mer-
