man. The delegation was polled and Mr..
Luckey voted for Harrison thus

for the first time. Cheers from the Harrison
men were given for the Luckey vote. New
York gave Harrison a solid vote. Pennsyl-
vania added one to the Sherman score of Sat
urday.
The second ballot was begun amid absorb
ing interest and excitement on the floor and
in the galleries. The call of Alabama quoted
the prevailing hum of conversation that arose
from the floor and the delegates and pccta
tors settled down in their seats TO folio w the
responses to the clerk. Everyone no W re-
| garded the fight as between Sherman and
| Harrison and watched with nervous inter
! est for the changes that would decide the
| conflict. Alabama repeated its last vote, Civ

hero of Tippecanoe," declaration that
called
| CHEERS FROM THE HARRISON FORCES.
One of the Californians however, disputed

received and Harrison Is votes. This was
| the signal for the Blaine men, and as the
| roll call proceeded Harrison showed steady
| gains. Had the Gresham and Allison men

Pennsylvania was polled on the demand of

votes for Harrison. This was regarded as an
indication that Quay could not hold his dele
CATION for Sherman on another ballot and the
Harrison men exhibited their appreciation OF
this fact with prolonged cheer. When the
roll call was completed Harrison was found
to be in the lead for the first time, his vote
standing at 27S, a gain of 46 over the preced-
ing ballot, while Sherman dropped from pa

There was consi derabe confusion on the
floor at this stage. Delegates were actively
canvassing and a number of outsiders were
also actively circulating among the delegates
Alabama was called, but was not prepared tC

the president to direct the sergeant-at-arms
