Balloting Ag ain.

The second ballot resulted as follows:
Sherman 249, Rusk 20, Ingalls, l6, Phelps
l8, Harrison 81, Gresham, l07, Blaine 80,
Depew 80, Allison 73, Alger ll6, Mckinley
3, Lincoln 3.
The result of the second ballot was dis
appointment to Shermans people, who had
hoped for an increasing vote for him from
Pennsylvania which would put him up to
nearly 800 votes, but he lost in other places
and the anti-Sherman combination began to
claim that the Ohio senator's vote will go to
pieces in few ballots
During the announcement of the votes, the
convention was more sedate than it has been
at any time during its sessions The specta-
tors and delegates were too much interested
in noticing changes from previous ballots to
make noise or to indulge in any demon
stratious.
The third ballot was completed at 81 and
resulted as follows: Alger 1922, Harrison
"a. Lincoln 2, Blaine 80, Miller 2, Gresham
1913, Depew 80, Mckinley s. Phelps 5, Sher
man PA, Allison IS, Rusk l6.
As the vote on the third ballot proceeded,
there was little change in the Sherman vote,
which everybody was watching, and there
were no notable changes in the voting for
other candidates. California continued to
chusetts cast her vote among nearly all the
candidates.
Gresham's vote increased, but not materi
ally. When Pennsylvania was reached Sem
ator Quay announced the vote of the State.
casting 53 votes for Sherman as before, and
others scattering Johnston demanded poll
of the delegation, which proceeded much to
the disgust of the convention. The poll did
not affect the result as announced by Sena-
tor Quay. The ballot was proceeded with as
usual. When Virginia was reached a de-
mand was made that the delegation be polled
Gen. Fairchild of Wisconsin, made the point
of order that call for poll could hot be
made until the vote had been announced and
objection was made to its correctness. Wise
rose and explained that the Virginia delega.
ton was unable to select a chairman to speak
for the delegation. 1t had been therefore
agreed that whenever the State is reached
the delegation be polled. He asked for
unanimous consent that this should be done.
Consent was given. After the declaration
of the third ballot the convention adjourned
till p. NJ.
