Convention adjourned at 10 a. m.
Fourth Day.
CHICAGO, ILL.,. July II.
The hour at which the Convention
adjourned last night, coupled with the
fact that the thermometer was close on to
the nineties in the shade, acted as an
effectual damper on the punctual in
stincts which so far have characterized
the Convention. At ten O'Clock, the hour
appointed for reassembling, only twenty
delegates were in their seats and less
than half of the gallery space was oc-
cupied.
AN OVATION TO HENDRICKS.
Shortly after ten O'Clock Hendricks en-
tered the hall. AS soon as he was recog-
nized the audience arose and gave him
an ovation, the cheering continuing for
minute or more. He took his seat and
was soon surrounded by friends and po-
litical admirers.
JOHN KELLY RECEIVED WELL.
The ovation which Hendricks received
was equaled by that which welcomed
John Kelly as he entered the hail, the au-
dience giving him three times three.
At 1850, President Villas arrived and
at once called the Convention to order.
Rev. DIR. Clinton Locke, of Grace Epis-
copal Church, Chicago, made the opening
prayer, calling upon God to direct the
proceedings of the Convention.
When the prayer was concluded the
chairman made an eloquent appeal for
order during the day.
Before the call of States on the second
ballot was ordered Pennsylvania with
drew the name of Samuel J. Randall.
The names of States which yesterday
failed to respond with names for National
Committee, were called, after which the
Chair announced the receipt of numerous
telegrams favoring various candidates,
which the Convention declined to have
read or placed on record.
THE XOLL OF STATES.
At IL :22 a. m, the roll of States was
ordered for the second ballot, on the

Bayard 3, Mcdonald l.
When Illinois voted one for Hendricks
there was demonstration lasting nearly
half an hour.
Hendricks arose after the demonstra-
tiou and Kelly and Tammany crowded
around him. The cheering continued.
TheGe was immense enthusiasm.
During the entire demonstration Hen
bricks appeared to be in a great state of
agitation, although he smiled and tried
to converse with those around him.
When Illinois was called to complete
her vote she cast 3S for Cleveland, and
another demonstration broke out, this
time for the New York Governor. The
Convention was once more in an uproar,
the Cleveland men endeavoring to coun-
teract the effect of the Hendricks demon
StratiOn.
When order was restored the ballot
proceeded, and after the roll of States
udu DCtu COluplcCCQ IL WAS lOuuO tudt
Cleveland had 475 votes. Illinois led off
in changing votes and a stampede set in
to Cleveland which resulted in the fol-
lowing result.
Total vote cast $50. Necessary to
choice, SAT. Cleveland, 683; Hendricks,
81 l-2; Thurman, Al; Mcdonald 2; Ran
dali, 4.
On motion of Menser, the nomination
of Cleveland was then made unanimous.
An anchor and picture were brought to
the front of the stage, while the Chair
made the official announcement that
Cleveland was the unanimous nominee of
the Democratic party. The picture was
hoisted on the chairman's desk, the band
played and the enthusiasm reached its
height.
On motion of ex-senator Wallace, of
Pennsylvania, recess was taken until
five O'Clock this evening.
EVENING SESSION
The delegates returned to the scene
Of their labors little wearily as the
hour for reassembling approached, and
the thousands of lookers-on, who have
been in attendance during the exciting
struggle for supremacy returned to the
Convention Hall even more. leisurely
than the delegates. Many of them did
not return at all, and when at 5:35 p. m.
