At this point the galleries broke out in
uproar which was, however, promptly
checked by the chairman, who warned the
audience that unless it preserved better
order strict measures to enforce it would
be resorted to.
The convention then began taking the
sixth ballot, which resulted as follows:
Blaine .-...- 40 Alger. $500 lar
Gresham ............ 81 Mckinley. ......... u

The convention was treated to "A little
sensation in the seventh ballot at the very
first by California casting her 10 votes for
Harrison.
A poll of the State being demanded it
showed one vote for Alger and 10 for Harri-
son. Both Estee and Raymond voted for
Harrison.
Harrison gained votes in Pennsylvania
and made total gain of ~ on the ballot,
the result of which was MS follows:
Harrison. Alger 120
LlneoIn; 20
Sherman 231 Foraker. l
Raymond. 1lGresham. ..---..-..-- 81
Before the convention began taking the
eighth ballot General Henderson, Of Iowa,
arose and withdrew the name of Allison.
This increased the sensational feeling in
the convention and every thing seemed to
point to a nomination en- this ballot and
that it would be Harrison. The delegation
leaders were busily consulting each other.
Allison's withdrawal gave Harrison %
new votes from Iowa, ard Senator Cullom,
OF Illinois, said Harrison would receive
nearly if not all of the Allison votes.
Colorado gave Harrison all her votes;
Georgia gave Harrison 10; Illinois gave
him 4; Connecticut gave him her solid
vote; Delaware did likewise; Pennsylvania
gave him her 90 votes; Kentucky gave
him II; Kansas presented him with 16;
New erik was solid Tor Harrison; Louisi-
ana gave HIM 8; Massachusetts %, and so
the story was old unto the end.
