Coleman for Washington, Hall for Chi
cago, Sanford for New York, Leney for
Chicago ana Sweeney for Chicago. AS
soon as the result had been announced,
and that no city had received a ma
jority of
ALL THE VOTES CAST,
the speaker directed the clerk to again
call the roll. So the reading clerk again
began the call. There was a good deal
of ill-suppressed excitement visible
which was hardly justified by the re-
suit, although the New York and Chi
cagO people prOfessed their satisfaction.
The official announcement was: Total
vote 306; necessary to a choice, 154; {;
Chicago. 1874; New York, 90; st. Louis.
53; Washington, "a. AS compared with
the second ballot this showed gain for
losses for st. Louis and Washington of
6 and IL respectively. 1t happened IN
this way: Bankhead changed from
Washington to New York: Bartine from
Washington to Chicago; Blanchard from
Washington to st. Louis; Breckenridge
Ky.l from Washington to St.
Louis; Gambler, of Georgia, from ST..
Louis to New York; Dsrgan
from Washington to New York, Finley
from Washington to Chicago, Hender-
son (N.C.) from New York to Washing
ton this first choice. Lane from St.
Louis to Chicago. Maish from Washing
ton to New York, L-cClammy from
Washington to New YORK, Moore
(TeX.) from Washington to st. Louis,
Morrill, from st. Louis to Chicago, Oates
(Mass.) from Washington to

FAILED TO RESPOND
on this ballot: Ellis, Enloe and Rich
ardsOn (of the st. Louis party; Ewart,
La Toilette, Owen, OF Indiana, and
Thompson (of the Chicago contingentl;
I INf IxN aI1
and Owen (O.). of Washington. Bayne
returned. but to New York this time in
stead of Washington. his first choice.
Turner (Kan.) also returned and voted
again for Chicago. The clerk had no
chance to rest, for, ignoring the appeals
of certain members who had. been at
luncheon, to be allowed to record their
ballots "a practice forbidden by the new
rules), the speaker again directed the
roll to be called. This was the fourth
ballot, and it resulted in the casting of
the same total vote-3O6. The details
were: Chicago, 1874; New York, 95;
st. Louis, 4S; Washington. 80. The
Chicago men frightened visibly at the
result, for they had gained seven votes,
as against a gain of only three for New
York. while st. Louis lost five (the be-
ginning of the end in their caSe), and
Washington five. This result was
brought about by the following changes: ::
Banks, from Washington to New York !;
Brewer. from Washington to Chicago:
Buchanan, of Virginia. from Washing
ton to New York. Clements. from st.
Louis to New York; GrOut, from Wash
ington to Chicago; McClammy, back

mick, from New York to Chicago; Rife,
from New York TO Chicago; Tucker,
from Washington to New York; Turn
er, of Georgia, from st. Louis to Wash
ington; Washington, from st. LOUIS TO
New York; Wheeler, of Alabama,
from New York to St. Louis;
Wise. from Washington to New York.
out on this ballot: Andrew, Baker
and Herbert (who voted for New York
on the third balloD, Breckenridge
(Ark.), Lewis. Rogers and Stockdale
(who had voted for st. Louisl, Hemphill
and Milliken (for Washington), and
Owen Und.), of the Chicago people.
Enloe and Lansing
RETURNED To VOTE
for New York; Ewart, Thompson and
La Toilette for Chicago; McCOmas for
Chicago and Richardson for st. Louis.
Buchanan On. j. (who had been paired)
voted for New York, and Owen CO.,,
who had voted on the second ballot for
Washington, but missed the third,
voted for Chicago. Even without wait
ing for recapituati0n of the votes, the
reading clerk, who showed signs of
weariness, began the monotonous
roll call once more. AS the
call progressed the Chicago men
began for the first time to show symp-
toms of uneasiness, and Mason and
Springer. who were doing the larger
part of the whipping-in, redoubled their
efforts, hurrying pages into the restaur-
ant and committee rooms after absent
members and routing out others from
the lobbies and cloak rooms. Mr.. Flow
er was keeping tally for the New York
ers, and greeted every accession with a
smile. From his seat in the center Mr..
Hit was doing the same for the Chica-
goans, and he appeared to be the least
whisperers in his vicinity. Mr.. Martin
(TexaS) was consulting with his col
league, Mr.. Mills, as to whether he
would be justified in changing his vote
from st. Louis to New York. and his
hoarse whisper with the other conversa-
tiOns disturbed the proceedings to such
an extent that the speaker was COM
PEELED to suspend the roll call to obtain
order. Finally Mr.. Martin changed his
vote in time to
JOIN THE LOSING SIDE.
The fifth ballot showed a total vote of
312, and the apprehensions of the Chi
cagoans were justified In measure, for
New York gained fifteen votes. while
Chicago added but six to her column.
st. Louis meanwhile fell off ten votes
and Washington five.. This is the way
it happened: Atkinson changed from
Washington to Chicago, Blanchard from
st. Louis toNew York, BoaJner from
st. Louis to New York. j. b. Brown
