Louis to Chicago, Beel from st. Louis
to New York, Pierce from st. Louis to
New York, Richardson from ST. Louis
to New York. Robertson from st. Louis
to New York, Scranton from New York
to Chicago. Cobb and Kennedy, of the
Chicago party, failed to vote, and
so did Randall (Mass.), of the Wash
ington party, and Venable of New
York. The following members who
failed to vote on the preceding ballot
cast their votes as follows: Andrew,
Baker and Herbert returned to New
York. Ellis, Lewis and Stockdale to st.
Louis, Hemphiil and Milliken to Wash
lngton, and Owen indy to Chicago.
Breckenridge (Ark.) and Rogers
changed their votes from st. Louis to
New York. All was excitement as the
roll call again began. 1t was apparent
that the Southern members, who had
steadfastly supported st. Louis up to
this point, were
BEGINNING TO BREAK AWAY
and were going over to New York. Con-
seQuently the expectations of the New
Workers were at the highest point, and,
indeed, in this vote they polled their
full strength but gained only six votes,
while Chicago gained nine, and st.
steady retrogression, the former losing
ten and the latter five votes. The total
vote was again 312, of which Chicago re-
ceived 149. New York 116. st. Louis 2S,
and Washington 10. The changes were /:
Anderson (Aliss.) from st. Louis to Chi
cage; Coleman, from Washington to
Chicago: Cowles, from ST. Louis to New
York; Hemphill, from Washington to
New York; Henderson On. CO.. from St.
Louis to New York; Holman, from st.
Louis to Chicago; Houk, from Washing
ton to Chicago; Kerr (Pa.), from Wash
ington to New York; Lanham, from
Washington to Chicago; Lewis, from
st Louis to Chicago; McClammy, from
st. Louis to New York; Milliken, from
Washington to Chicago; Morgan, from
Washington to Chicago; O'Neall Qnd., }
from Chicago to Washington; Osborne,
from New York to Chicago; Price, from
st. Louis to New York; Savers, from
st. Louis to Chicago; Skinner, from
st. Louis to New York; Wade, from st.
Louis to Chicago. Abbott, of the st.
Louis party, Dargan of the Chicago, and
Dingley, of the New York, did not vote.
Cobb returned and voted for st. Louis,
as did Kennedy for Chicago, Randall
tMaSs.) for Washington, and Venable
of New York. The New York people
were discounted at their small gain,
and began to realize that
THEY COULD DO NO MORE.
The deSertiOn of Wade, of Missouri,
from st. Louis to Chicago, added to
their alarm, so the reading of the vote
was demanded, not to verify it, but to
secure time for consultation. Heads
were together all over the house and
the result was shown, just as the roll
call was begun. by Wilson rising and
moving a recess till tomorrow at IL
O'Clock. There was shout Of disap-
proval and derision from the compact
Chicago forces. and when the speaker
attempted to put the question several
ChicagOans were on their feet with
points of order, alleging that the motion
came too late-that the roll call had
begun. The speaker, however, de-
elared that he had recognized Mr.. Will
son before the first name was called.

York, was hurrying about from one
man to another, pointing at the clock
which indicated the hour of 4:30-and
urging recess. A rumor ran over the
western side of the hall, where Chicago
was in force. that it was the purpose of
the New Workers to arrange over night
for transfer of their strength and that
of st. Louis to Washington, and the fact
that Wilson, in charge of Washington'S
interest, was leading the movement
tended to add currency to the rumor.
1t such was the purpose, however, it
failed signally, for on the yea and nay
vote the West clannishly rallied to-
gether, and the house refused to take
recess bya vote of, yeas 13S, nays ia.
The ChicagoanS were

fearing some dilatOry tactics that would
lose them the advantage they held.
Mason rushed forward to the clerk, ex-
claiming: "Call the roll! call the roll ~
New York's backbone was broken, how
ever, and there was little further oppo-
sition. The clerk again took up his list
and began: ''Mr. Abbott" and so on
down the roll. The result was 81 votes,
divided as follows: Chicago, 1874; New
York, i12; st. Louis, %: Washington,
II. A majority would be 156, and Chi
cagO had 154, just two votes short.
There was an agony of expectation.

to change his vote from New York to

applause, and evidently expected to lead
a stampede for Chicago. but he was dis
appointed. Nobody followed his exam
pie, and Chicago's total stood at
l55 = one less than majority.
The New York forces were
retiring in good order and contesting
every inch of the ground. So another
roll call was necessary. 1t was the
