Total No. or votes ..oSa
Necessary to choice. ..AiI
The result was received without sign
from the convention as to what impression
had been made. Before the second ballot
was taken, Mr.. Smith, of Pennsylvania,
who had yesterday nominated Edwin n.
Filter, Withdrew his name. This episode
made no stir whatever in the convention.
THE SECOND BALLOT.
The second ballot was then proceeded
with. During the announcement of the
votes the convention was more sedate than
It has been at any time during the session.
The spectators and delegates were too much
interested in noticing the changes from the
previous ballos to make a noise or indulge
in any demons, ration. Senator Qnay had
evidently done good work among the Penn
sylvania delegation last night. Sherman
gained twenty-four votes from that state,
most of them being votes which on the first
ballot had been cast for Mr.. Filter. This
was the most important event Of the ballot
and considerably elated the Sherman men,
Who had been disappointed ut the vote for
their favorite ON the first ballot.
Arkansas cast IA for Ager; change from
Ingalls,, Sherman, Gresham and Harrison.
Western Kansas world. [volume] (WaKeeney, Kan.) 1885-current, 1888-06-30

The result was disappointment to thu
sherman people. who had hoped that the in.
crease in the vote for him from Pennsvlv.-
MA would put him up to nearly 800 yotes
but he lost In other places and the anti,
sherman combination began to claim that
the OHIO senator's vote will 60 to pieces in 4
few ballots. -
THE THIRD BALLOT.
As the vote on the third ballot proceed.
there is little change in the Sherman vote.
which everybody is Watching, and there are
no notable changes in the voting for the
other candidates.
California continues to cast a solid yota
for Blaine, and Massachusetts still cuts her
vote. Among nearly all the condidate,
Gresham 8 vote increases, but not materially.
When Pennsylvania was reached Senator
Quay announced the vote of the state. cast
ing 80 votes for Sherman as before, and the
other ten scattering.
Mr.. johnson demands a poll of the dele
cation, which proceeds, much to the disgust
OF the convention. The poll did not affect
the result, as announced by Senator Quay,
and the ballot was proceeded with.
THIRD BALLOT.
On the third ballot the following was thu
result in Kansas and Missouri:
Kansas-Ingalls 0, Gresham 5. Allison 4.
Blaine ?, Mckinley 2, Harrison 2, Sherman

The Fourth Days Proceedings.

CONVENTION HALL, June 22.-The con-
vention has reached that stage at which all
the interest in its proceedings eliminate.
The decks have been cleared for action and
the battle royal is about to begin. What the
first ballot will disclose is already known.
The curiosity is to know what the third or
the fourth or the fifth ballots will show. The
men who pull the wires have been up nearly
all night, and the air of the convention hall
as it begins to fill, is full of rumors, theories
and blind guesses.
CALLED TO ORDER.
At a few minutes past II O'Clock
the convention was called to order
by Chairman Estee, who having completely
lost his voice, called Senator Hiscock to tins
chair to preside over the session, which was
formally opened with prayer by the Rev. j..
ton he prayed that the spirit which would
rule over the proceedings of the convention
might be not of narrow partisan
ship, but of broad patriotism.
The convention at once proceeded to
call of states for a ballot for president. Dur
ing the call of the roll the convention was
at first disposed to bee ome boisterous and
to cheer the votes as they we're announced.
There was very enthusiastic outbreak
when California
VOTED sOLIDLY FOB BLAINE,
but finally having found that these Demon
ST. atoms were delaying the announcement
of the result, the conventions curiosity
overcame its enthusiasm and the confusion
was considerably abated and the call pro-
ceeded in good order. Polls were demanded
for the Minnesota, Pennsylvania, Tennes-
see and Virginia delegations.
When Virginia was reached in the call of
states demand was also made for q poll
of the delegation. During the poll, Senator
Riddleberger, notwithstanding the sharp
raps Of the chairman's gavel, when
his name was called, arose and
said that he would have voted
for Blaine if he had been nominated, but
as his name had not been presented
he voted for Allison. This violation of
the rules of the convention was passed in
the senator's case without rebuke. The
result of the first ballot, as announced,

thought il properly belonged. The chair
said that he had already decided that tho
discussion of the Virginia contested case

tials. Senator Hoar, of Massachusetts,
moved that the motion of Ne Wellington

most OF the interior WAS q mass OF James
The explosion had occurred in the base
ment, the furnace being supplied with
natural gas, and the force was SO
great as to tear OF and blow out
the heavy doors on the Erie
and Pear street sides. People ran to see
what was the matter, and q few entered
the vestibule of the church only to be
driven out by the flames. The alarm was
at once turned in. The are department
quickly responded, but when they arrived
nothing could be done to save the interior
Ct the eGifce. The fire in few moments
had reached the heavily timbered roof.

covery the interior Of the noble church
WAS completely destroyed. Rev. DR..
