After all the deals and combinations of the
light and curly morning, it became apparent as
soon as the totals OF tho vote were announced
HAT Harrison after all was far enough away
from the nomination.
He had, of course, climbed up very high on the
ladder in securing 2l7, but John sherman still
held his cohorts behind him and led the race
with c}G.

votes. There was little cheer at this, and

same sh-sh-sh which grcotod the name or the
Empire State when 1t announced in the
first roll-call marked it again this time. The
kissing sound was followed by dead silence.
Then New York said PASS for mo-

Some change or break OF vital importance was
expected after this announcement, and every
body awaited il in great anxiety. But when the
announcement was made ii disappointed every
body, for IL was practically the same il WAS
IN the first ballot. Thus tue Gull went on to tho
