said it was magnificent speech.

NEARING THE END.
BALLOTING COMMENCED AT CHI
CAGO.

Sherman in the Lead with Gresham
in the Second Place-Blaine Holds
SO Votes-Adjournment Taken to
7p.m.
CHICAGO, ILL June 22.-The con-
vention was called to order this morn
ing promptly at IL o'clock. After the
preliminary opening exercises the roll
call for ballot on nominee for President
was called for and the list of states was
begun.
Arkansas, the first state called, gave
10 of its IA votes to Ingalls,, scattering
the remainder among Harrison, Gresh-
am and Sherman.
The result of the first ballot COM
pleted at / o'clock was:
Sherman 229.
Gresham ia.
Depew 80.
Alger 81.
Allison ~.
Harrison 20.
Blaine SO.
Ingalls, rs.
Phelps %.
Rush %.
Filter "A,
Hawley Is.
Lincoln 8.
Mckinley 2.
The vote was largely compliment
tary one as the delegation of nearly
every state was divided among half
dozen or more candidates. Kansas
voted II for Ingalls,, one for Blaine;
Illinois for Gresham.
The second ballot was at once pro-
ceeded with and resulted:
Sherman 249.
Alger 116.
Gresham los.
Depew 80.
Harrison 81.
Allison IS,
Blaine SO.
Rusk 20.
Phelps Is.
ingalls, Is.
Mckinley 8.
Lincoln 2.
There was considerable changing
about in this ballot. Kansas stood
alone by ingalls,. New York gave
Depew II and Blaine 1. Pennsylvania
gives Sherman 50 out of so. Sherman's
gain of 20 votes was greeted with
yells from the Ohio delegation.
On the third ballot there was little
to indicate what the result would be,
except the sudden jump of the dark
horse, Mckinley, to votes. Arkan-
sas has left ingalls, for Alger. New
Jersey scatters its forces and Kansas
weakens a little on Ingalls,, going
slightly to Blaine. The result was:
Sherman pa.
Gresham 123. "
Alger 122.
Harrison "a.
DeDew 80.
Allison 88.
Mckinley, s.
Blaine So. .,
Rusk Ia, &.
Phelps 3
Lincoln 2
As the result was announced, cheers
for Gresham broke out and were met
BY Kisses. A scene of great confusion
prevailed for seyeral,minutes.
At the first rest, Miller, of Indiana,
moved to adjourn until seven o'clock
this evening. The motion carried and

The Wise-Mahone Fuss.

CHICAGO, June 2O.-The Tribune this
morning publishes highly sensational &C
count OF the proceedings before the COM
mittee on credentials late last night in the
Wise-Mahone controversy. 1t says:
Sergeant-at-Arms Smith opened the door
and looked anxiously around the hall. Half
dozen men were shouting at the top of
their voices 'You are a liar" Give
IL 10 him." were distinctly heard
above the storm of inyectives
The connection swelled into an
uproar. The door swung back and negro
rushed into the hall with terror written IN
every feature. '.My God, they are going
to Shoot" he exclaimed. Malone and
wise Is fghtin'. Some one will be killed,
shuah."
The door suddenly opened and Ser
geant-at-Arms Smith grabbed an Off
Ger and pulled him aside. As they

send him their sincere congratulate ons on the
prospect Of his recovery, and hope chat his life
may be preserved for many years.
The resolution was greeted with cheers
and was adopted by rising vote, the i'm.
mense audience joining with the delegates
in dong honor to the sick soldier.

iourned until noon tomorrow.

the National Committee.
The Chair said he understood that Chair
mau Jones having recognized no objection
to the nominations of the National Commit
tee they had been accepted by the conven-
ton and are now the temporary officers of
the body.
Mr.. Osborne, of Kansas. said that he was
glad that this gave him the opportunity to
again protest against the acceptance of the
recommendation of the National Committee
without vote. He asked that the vote of
Kansas be recorded for Hon. William War
ner, of Missouri.
Mr. Root said that his motion didn't in
olude the temporary chairman who he
fully understood, had been duly elected.
AS the other officers, he now found, were
included In the general acceptance of the
committees report, he withdrew his mo-
ton.
Judge Moody, of Dakota, moved that Da-
kota be allowed ten votes instead Of two in
the proceedings of the convention, as she
was entitled to this vote by her population
and by all precedents in the history OF the
party. He proposed to give the record of
past conventions to show that whenever a
Territory had increased its population in
such proportion as to justify it its vote in
the convention was increased.
Chairman Thurston stated that the Ma
tional Committee had recommended that
Dakota be allowed ten votes during the
preliminary proceedings of the convention
and that Washington Territory, by the
grace Of the Democratic party, be allowed
six.
On motion of Mr.. Bingham, of Pennsyl-
wanna, the rules of the last convention were
adopted for the government of the present
convention until further action.
Mr. Hsllowell, of Kansas, offered the TO-
lowing;

A Useful Stanza.

1t will be remembered that within
one hundred years Scottish minister
was subject to ecclesiastical censure
for stating in the pulpit that Pontius
PLATE had been unfairly abused and
deserved better treatment, as he had
done as much good as any of the
other nine apostles" We do not for a
moment suppose that ignorance as
dense as this finds lodging with any
of our American brethren, and yet
statistical information recently col
lected has shown Il plentifal lack of
knowledge on the subject, and it is
known that certain designing persons
in mixed society are fond of catching
the unwary by propounding questions
about the names of the apostles, which
are likely to disturb the equanimity
of any clergyman whose memory is
not good enough to enable him to re-
spond offhand. 1t is also well-known
that many laymen of high scientific
attachments have blindly swallowed
the bait and continently started of
! with list which invariably begins
with Matthew, Mark, Luke and John,
and usually includes st. Paul. With
a view of preventing such catastrophes
in the future we subjoin an extract
from the Mnemonic Poet, which will
probably be as useful as the old coup
let, Thirty days hath September,
etc.:
| Saint Peter and Andrew, two Jameses and John
Bartholomew, Philip and Thomas came on,
With Matthew and Lebbeus all In a chariot,
The Canaanite Simon and Judas Iscariot
