In the next two ballots Lawson, Peel,
Smell, Stevens and Weadock broke to Crisp:
Mansur and Williams to Mills. The IL
linois assertions handicapped Springer at
once. Fithian, Forman and Lane were
subsequently joined by Wike, Scott end
Williams, who also deserted their candi-
date and voted steadily for Mills. During
all this time, however, Springer received
the
CONSTANT SUPPORT OF THE MICHIGAN DELE
CATION
and portion of the Indiana and Wisconsin
delegations and his loyal followers in Il
linois for a long time felt encouraged that
this outside support would ultimately rally
the deserving Illinois members to the solid
support of Springer.
On the ninth ballot Gantz, of Ohio,
changed from Springer to Crisp in order,
he said, to partially Offset the action of
some OF Springer's Illinois supporters who
had deserted to Mills.
1t was after o'clock this evening when
the tenth ballot was concluded, and mem
bers began to get very weary as ballot
after ballot passed without showing any
material change. During all these six
hours constant pressure was being ex-
erted by various leaders to scatter the
forces of Springer. McMillin and Hatch,
but the hardy followers of these gentlemen
stood resolute.
On the twelfth ballot Crisp and.McMillin
lost one each, while Springer showed gain
of three. Bullock, of Florida and Weo-
dock, of Massachusetts, concluded to sup
port Springer, while GantZ, of Ohio, re-
turned to his first choice. The secretary

and Springer's II votes showed an appar-
ballot, but Holman announced through an
error of computation Springer was
credited with IA votes in the previous bal
lot, whereas the Illinois candidate actually
received II votes. The record of the four
teenth ballot accordingly was ordered cor
rected. After the seventeenth ballot,
which showed no change in the situation,
the caucus, Oh motion of O'NeilP of Massa-
chusetts, adjourned till 10 o'clock Monday.

in favor of fighting it being in a hopeless
minority and offering no opposition. The
| decision to adjourn was the result of a
prior understanding on the part of all five
candidates, who, being unable to see
whether there would or would not be any
advantage in holding caucus together
agreed to adjourn and take their chances
The members quickly dispersed to seeA
much needed rest before beginning the
difficult task of breaking the deadlock, fol
which number of gentlemen themselves
are eminently fitted.
