THE UNSUCCESSFUL BALLoTING.
of this mornings session had the effec
only of intensifying interest in tht
proceedings of the convention. Whe1
called to order after recess the gallerle!
were filled early, and the space reserved
| for the delegates, the hum of converse
| ton was inCessant. Hardly bad the
| gavel of the chairman fallen upon the
desk, when King, of Maryland, moved
| that the convention adjonrn until II
| clock Monday morning. The chain
| decided that the roll call of States be
called. When it was apparent the mo
ton to adjourn prevailed, the delegates
from Alabama arose, inquiring whether
| the railroad tickets which expired
| would be extended. In response, the
| chairman, whose voice was still weak,
directed the secretary to state that
tickets would be good until the conven-
ton adjourned sine die, and when the
secretary by inadvertence, spoke about
passes, the convention realized the
righteousness of the slip, and appIauded
and laughed vigorously. The chair
man then announced the vote and the
convention adjourned.
THE CONFERENCE COMMITTEE
that met in the Grand Pacific last night
and rem aimed IN session until nearly
clock this morning, assembled i'm
mediately after adjournment this
morning in parlor No. 8 of the Grand
Pacific Hotel There was large repre-
sentation, comprising representatives
and Hawlev.
This meeting was principally called
for the purpose of defeating the Harri-
son movement to-day. They really did
not know the object of their meeting, as
Harrison had been practically defeated
by the adjournment yesterday. How
ever, after various speakers had ad-
dressed the meeting upon the impOSsi-
billty of nominating any man but
Blaine, they appointed committee to
take the situation into consideration
and to present to the conference COM
mittee ticket which, If the members
saw tit, they could report back to
their delegation with the recon-
mendation that they support it.
A committee of ten was then
appointed, representing the different
factions, consisting of Colonel Davis and
Senator Farwells on behalf of Gre sham,
NJ. DeYoung for the Blaine movement,
Hubbard and Clarkson
for Allison, Hon. Mr.. Duffield for
Allison and GoyeAAsr Foraker and
Hon. Benjamin Butterworth for Sher- |
man. The conference then adjourned |
until 2 80, and the committee im-
went into session, notifying |
Senators Hear and Quay to be present. |
Senator Quay did rot INN ediately put |
in an appearance. The first action taken |
was by Senator Fanwell, who, after |
Judge Gresham, said |
that for the sake Ct harmony he |
would withdraw his name. Governor
Foster then addressed the committee
in behalf of John Sherman as the
ablest man that the committee could
report in favor Of. AT the conclusion
Of Governor Fosters remarks Duffield
addressed the committee in favor of
General Alger. Clarkson was then
called upon and he very strongly urged
the claims of Senator Allison. N. H.
De Young being called on stated 10 the
committee that he thought they were
lot there to listen to the prais es
u the different candidates but
% decide upon the man that

citing forth their weaknesses, and con-

nty of setting forth the claims and

t at this time. At this moment
enator Quay came into the room. He :
tated that New York had decided to
upport Blaine. and he could not see ,

ould be avoided. He felt the majority |
f the convention would be in favor of
Chairman Senator Farwell said that l
4 any even, it was the duty of the COM
littee 10 recommend the name of some {
for the conference to support l
8 body, and the name OF Congress
IAN Mckinley, of Ohio, was proposed. i
ne committee was polled as to some t
f the candidates, and by large ma
ority decided that Sherman was out of s
he hight, and that Blaine not being a
disability with the convention, it was 6
be duty of the committee to endeavor /
D select somebody outside Of Blaine, c
nd that he ought not to be considered t
Y the committee. The result of this
