| Foraker ............ lIDouglasS. ........,. 1
The vote for Lincoln came from Georgia,
| those for Foraker and Douglass from Ken
| lucky, and the Mckinley vote from West
Virginia, Texas, New Jersey, Massachusetts,,
and Connecticut
As soon AS the first observation-disclosures
announced for Mckinley, he got the floor
and in an earnest speech repudiated the vote
| cast for him. He said:
am here one of the chosen representatives
of my state | am here by resolution of the Re-
publican state convention of Ohio commanding
me to vote for John Sherman, and to use every
worthy endeayor to accomplish his nomination.
| accepted the trust because my heart and judg-
meut approved of the letter and the spirit and
the purpose of that resolution Some of the
delegates ia this convention have been pleased to
give me their vote. | am not insensibe of the
honor which you do me, nor OF the confidence
which your actI m implies, but cannot with
honor longer remain silent | cannot, gentlemen
of this convention consistently, with the credit of
the state whose credentials bear, and which has
trusted me / cannot consistently with honorable
fidelity to John Sherman, who has trusted me in
his cause and with his confidence; and above ALL
! cannot with my sense of personal integrity per-
nit my name to he used in this convention.
couldn't respect myself if | could find IL in
my heart to say, TO do, or permit any one else to
say or do that which would give currency even to
a suspicion that was disloyal TO the state love-
or wavered in my devotion to the chief of her
-
do request, gentlemen of this conventional
demand-that no delegate in this convention
who does not want to call reflection upon me
shall cast further ballot for me. lGreat ap-
plause
New York gave 50 votes to Harrison.
The fifth ballot was then taken, and re-
suited:
Sherman. ............,! 2i Gresham . ..-,.... 81
Alger 142 Harrison t........2l3
Allison 90. .-. ......- 80 Blaine 90. ......., Is
Me
Again no choice and motion was made to
adjourn to I p m. This was carried, and the
convention dispersed.
AT Up. m. Chairman Estee again essayed
his duties, but the first motion was one to adj
Hjourn to Monday at II a. m. The motion
was carried ON a oll-call-496 to 3.l2, and
again the assembly filed out of the hall.
The delegates were informed that their
railway tickets would be good until the day
following the adjournment sine die, which
announcement was received with cheers.
Just before the body dispersed Creed Hay
mond, Of California, got the chairman's at
uention, and said his delegation understood
that New York wanted an adjournment,
which was why it voted aye. He wanted the
vote changed, but was declared out of order.
He addressed a crowd before the Leland hotel
later, and said
The adjournment this Afternoon was. the
result of IA misunderstanding. A message went
round the convention that New York desired an
adjournment The New York delegates did not
desire an adj iournment. The New York delega-
ton wanted the nomination of Blaine and have it
over with. Mr.. Hustled made speech at the
Grand Pacific thisy afternoon. in which he
said the sentiment for Blaine so strong no
man dared to oppose it, for it was the will of the
people. ON the first ballot Monday Blaine viii be
nominated
suppose he don't want it, shouted some one.
Some people don't want him to have it-con-
tinued MIR. Hammond-they trying TO pre-
vent his nomination Unless there is decree
from high Heaven he will be nominated No,
not nominated nomination al ready made by the
people Mill be- ratified.
