EIGHTH BALLOT.
At12:3I D. M, Henderson OF Iowa, had
withdrawn Allison.
The assurances received soon after the
withdrawal of Allison, that his vote would
90 to Harrison, took the last hope from
the friends OF Sherman and Senator Quay
fading that the game was up told his friends
to fall in line. As soon as it became
known that New York would not, now
that his nomination was in sight, desert
Harrison, there was no longer any doubt
of the result, aud the calling OF the roll was
q mere formality. Harrison was nominated
after Tennessee's vote had been cast, giving
him 413 votes. Only a single vote stood
by Sherman in Pennsylvania, and after
that states vote the Harrison movement
became landslide.
The ballot resulted: Blaine 5, Ager 100,
Gresham SO, Harrison 544, Sherman lis,
Mckinley a.
The result was received with burst OF
applause and the great audience arose to
their feet and

climbed on the chairman's desk and waved
a banner bearing the portrait OF Harrison.
