| CHICAGO MEN WITH GRIPsAcKs PACKED
START HoME-A JUBTLAYr THRoSa FROM THE
LAKE SHORE.
As was announced in The SrAR's o'clock
| extra yesterday, Chicago won the contest in the
| House for the fair on the eighth ballot. From
! first to last Chicago gained steadily, and the
most complete organization of her forces was
demonstrated: the vote went surely upward
without a waver. The fifth ballot resulted:
Chicago, 40; New York, ITO, St. Louis, SO:
Washington. Fl.
On the sixth ballot both New York and Chi
cago had made gains. Chicago got 149 votes;
New York, 1lG; st. Louis, %; Washington, 49,
On the seventh ballot Chicago came within
two of a majority. Then before the vote was
announced there was some mighty hustling
done by the Chicago men to get the two votes
needed. Then Mr.. Reyburn who had shown
his patriotism by voting for Washington within
ten minutes after he took his oath of Office
made still more memorable his first day in
Congress by changing his vote to Chicago.
This gave Chicago l55 votes. A hundred and
hfty-six would have given her the fair on this
ballot. but that one vote more could not be
got in time.
Chicago. 155; New York. 1l2 St. Louis. "a;
Washington. IL. Total number OF votes, 3ll;
majority, 155.
THE LAST BALLOT
AT the beginning of the eighth ballot ii was
evident that there wolld be no ninth ballot.
Everybody knew that Chicago would win then,
but still other cities held their forces in pretty
good order, so that Chicago gained but one
vote. but this, owing to the decreased total
vote, gave them the necessary majority. The
vote stood: Chicago, 1jG; New York. l07; ST.
-: MaSllnprOO
When the vote was announced cheer went
up from the Chicago men, but they did not
take time to cheer more than once. Almost as
quickly as the echo of this one burst of delight
died out the House and the galleries were
empty. The crowd melted away and vanished
as II II had been simply blown out. Two or
three Chicago men had their gripsacks on
their desks when the last vote was being taken,
and after the announcement of the result they
were on their way to Chicago before Chauncey
Depew had time to take breath or smooth out
a frozen smile. Nobody ever saw the House
clear so quickly before. The hall was not big
enough TO hold all the happiness of the Chicago
men; they had to get out doors Tor room. You
looked ut the crowds of people standing in the
galleries and the House; You turned away, then
looked again, and the whole place empty.
Bat down through the marble corridors could
be heard dlm!y III rccod!nS tones: "Chicago!.!'
Chicago" "ChlcagO.'
