Three Ballots Taken Without Definite
Results.

CHICAGO, June 22.-The convention
was called to order at 1906 a. m, but
nothing could be done at once as many

At a few moments past IL o'clock the

man Estee, who, having completely lost
his voice, called Senator Hiscock to the
chair to preside over the session, which
was formally opened with prayer by Rev.
j. ii. Worcester of Chicago.

Following is the official count OF the

the mightiest popular voice that has
found utterance since the dead hero o.
Appomatox last listened to its thunders.
Loud applause from galleries and further
clearing of hall by delegatesl.
Now, fellow citizens, upon the wisdom
of the choice made by this convention,
may depend the destinies of this land and
the looms and shops and mines and for.
ests-yes, and furnaces and harvest fields
that ten million faces with the dew of toll
are upturned with anxious gaze toward
this tribunal.
In the midst of Fitch's speech half
the delegates got up and ran out, and also
a great many spectators. Fitch in dis
gust stopped at one of his howery periods
saying he would give up.
One of the sergeants at -arms requested
the hall be cleared and the people moved
rapidly out. The lights were Immediate
ly put out. but Fred Douglass having
probably been to night school In his early
days, amused himself in the dark by writ
ing autographs and giving them to hun
dreds in the audience.
The convention then adjourned till 10
O'Clock tomorrow morning.

AFTER THE MEETING.

a Black Eye.

Immediately after adjournment the
audience set up a wild yell for Bob Inger-
soil. in which a majority of the delegates
Joined. After withstanding considerable
urging Col. Ingersoll stepped out from be-
hind the desk where he had been sitting
and was received with enthusiastic cheers.
He addressed the meeting as follows:
Ladies and Gentlemen l am a Repub-
lican. l belong to the greatest. to the
grandest party ever organized by the
human race [Applausel. belong to that
great party that is in favor of giving every
human being equal rights with every
other and the mission of the Republican
party will not be ended until the great re-
public shall be civilized (Cheersl. The
mission of THAT party will not be ended
until every man beneath her flag not
only has the right to cast
his vote in peace but to have
It counted, counted honestly and in peace.
Cheers. am a Republican because
that party is pledged to the protection of
American labor. Cheers. The country
that raises raw material and sells it as
such, will always be ignorant and poor.
GCheers. Why2 The labor to raise raw
material is ignorant labor, but the mo-
meut the raw material is worked into
fabric, fashioned into beautiful shapes,
that requires intelligence, consequently
| the greater number Of Industries we have
in the United States, the more intelligent
our population will be. fCheers. An
| other reason, ordinary labor is always
| cheap. Labor commands a price in the
| proportion that the mind is mixed with
| the muscle. in the proportion that
| Thought is mingled with eff
fort. [Cheers.] The people who
want us to raise raw material are in
| a foreign land-England to manufacture.
| Simply vote for poverty and ignorance Of
the American [cheers and for the wealth
! and intelligence OF Great Britain.

They VIII Have Blaine.


The general impression around the LIE.
land hotel before to-night's session was
that Blaine would be nominated the first
session tomorrow. The California men
were particularly active and enthusiastic
and claimed that the only man upon
whom the delegation could unite was Jim
Blaine of California"
Blaine Is bound to be the nominee"
said Col. Gage, one of the most active
California delegates, "the ballots of this
morning show that there is no chance for
any other man. The convention mad inst
as well vote for him first as last. 1t is
bound to be Blaine in the end"
HAS there been any conference of his
supporters since the convention ad-
journed2"
1T would be funny ifthere had not been.
mo, sir; [ cannot tell you what was done
at the meeting. 1t would not be Justice
to the gentlemen who were at the confer
ence, nor would it help Mr.. Blaine's
prospects. Rest assured that Mr.. Blaine
will be the Republican nominee of this
convention"
who will be given the second placer"
Il don't know anything about that and
care less. All we want is Blaine, and
Blaine we are going to have"

Depew WIthdraws and the Adjournment
Follows.

CHICAGO, June %, 7 p. m.-During
the recess the various delegations retired
to their headquarters to talk over the sit
uation and to come to some agreement as
for the candidate to whom their votes
should be cast in case it was found the
first choice had no chance of selection.
The meetings were protracted up to near
ly the hour set for the reassembling of the
convention. and for this reason there were
Delegates in the hall at 7 o'clock. The
friends of Gresham were much elated at
the recess taken this afternoon and re-
garded it as favorable to the chances of
their favorite. The recess was taken only
after Senator Miller of New York and
Senator Quay of Pennsylvania had sent
a message to Senator Farwell of Illinois
requesting information as to

Paving the Preachers i'm Tobacco.

"The Life of Patrick Henry" by the
gifted Prof. M. G.. Tyler, of Cornell
University, contains an interesting ac-
count of the famous case against the
Virginia clergymen, and in reference
to the amount of salary they were en-
titled to in tobacco. A reminder of
this is found in the vestry register of
st. Johns Episcopal Church, Hamp-
ton, Va, three miles from Old Point
Comfort, where this occurred:
To Mr.. Barlow, for seventeen SER
mons, at $50 pounds tobacco, $3.50
pounds.
To the Rev. John Reid, salary, 16,
900 pounds.
To the Rev. John Reid, board, 1,50O
pounds.
To the Rev. John Reid, for clerk,
200 pounds.
To Mary Clark, sexton, 400 ponds.
To Widow Lawrence, being To1r,
800 pounds tobacco.
Agreed with James Briggs to keep
Eliza Miket for one year and to find
her in clothes for 200 pounds tobacco.

il appears that Is, 600 pounds of tobac-
co sold for e101 lis I'D. In l77G the

Indian Attire i'm Nicaragua.

Coming from colder Central Amer
lean countries to Nicaragua one is i'm
mediately impressed with the differ
ence in the dress of the Indians. In
the rubber "fincis" the women wear
only a short, thin petticoat of gaudy
colors reaching to the knee. Children
Of both sexes run around naked up to
II years of age, and the men wear a
cloth around the loins. On feast"
days Granada is filled with the sur
rounding Indian population, and on
such occasions the women wear ma
tive, sleeveless, loose-ftting shirt, and
with this on they feel well enough
dressed to promenade on their Fifth
avenue. Many wear complete suits of
coarse white material called "manta, F"
which at first sight gives the wearer
that cool, clean appearance so much
desired in hot climate. One immedi-
ately imagines what splendid laun-
dresses these Indian women must be
and sends his clothes TO be washed.
When they return he finds them look
ing as if they had had mud bath,
without starch, ana he begins TO real
ize that the apparent spotlessness OF
Indian garments is due only to the con-

The Frdnkfurter Zeitung has let
ter from Sophia describing battle of
birds of the Homeric order. Early one
morning an unusually large number of
eagles, probably about 200, were seen
taking their flight toward the noun
tains of the Jantra. A crowd of per-
sons watched the spectacle. A few
hours later number of storks, not
fewer than 800, flew straight toward
the regiment of eagles, evidently bent
on war. In an instant eagles and storks
were mingled in deadly affray. 1t was
a fearful combat. Every now and then
a wounded or dead bird. stork or eagle,
fell TO the ground The battle lasted
for nearly an hour. when the two
armies, apparently weary of fight,
flew off in opposite directions. Upon
rough reckoning it was estimated
that at least third of the combatants
fell in the severe struggle.

One afternoon the soft scratching Of
the reportOrial pencil and the NANCY
ofiice-dog was interrupted by the alb
rupt entrance Of a fiery little red-head-
ed man, with blood in his eve, who
rushed toward the nearest desk-the
city editor's-kicking the dog out of
his way, and at the same time pulling
yesterdays paper out of his pocket.
They always come in that way and pull
paper on you; so the city editor with
out giving the man time 10 speak, OBJ
servel with balmy mile:
IF you would like to have some ar
ticle corrected, sir, please step to
that desk over yonder," pointing TO
where jim Johnston was sitting in his
favorite lazy attitude, huddied down in
a chair with his feet upon the desk.
Boiling with rage the little man
danced over to Jim's desk, slapped his
hat down on it, pointed to an article with
faring notwithstanding about one
John Jones running off with somebody
else's wife and committing few other
trifing peccadilloes-and roared into
Jim's ear
THAT is a liel a - lie / am that
John Jones, and never did anything
Of the sort in all my life. Where's the
man thai wrote that about me? / just
want to see that man. I'll show him a
thing or twol I'll thrash HIM within an
inch of his lifei" And the little man
danced around like drop of water on
8 hot stove.
Without shifting his easy position
Jim drawled out slowly "How-so-
let's see about this now. Is this the
article you mean 2" While speaking
he had lazily lifted his hand behind
his head and gathered in the long
poniard, with which he carelessly
traced the words down the column as
he proceeded. "Ah-yes-'John Jones'
i see. believe l wrote that article
myself. Must be some mistake. What
did / understand you to say about it 2"
AS that murderous-looking weapon
came within the fiery little mans range
of vision he gave a start. His fas-
cinated gaze travelled up its length to
the heavy fist that grasped it, then
took in the big, long legs, the great,
solid frame, and the cool, determined
countenance, and, finally, the frowning
array of death-dealing weapons on the
wall above. He shivered as he looked
hastily from one to the other, and
stealthily reached out toward his hat,
which he had in his hand by the time
Jim had drawled out his last question.
"Oh, nothing-nothing" he STAN
mered, in hoarse, broken whisper
Its all right. OF course there's a
mistake somewhere. I'll come again
and explain all about it. I'm in a
hurry now" And the quaking little
red-headed man, without awaiting a
reply or once looking behind him, tip
toed out as rapidly as he had rushed in,
closed the door carefully and noiseless-
ly, and then was heard leaping down
the stairs three at time.
He never came back.
