Louisiana was next called, and T. A.
Herman took the platform to second the
nomination of Boies.
When Massachusetts, was called, Hon.
Patrick Collins took the platform and
seconded the nomination of Cleveland.
Minnesota seconded the nomination of
Cleveland.
New York, as its name was called in
its turn. asked through Governor Flower
TO be passed for the present.
Pennsylvania responded through Attor-
ney General Hensel, who came to the
platform and seconded the nomination
of Cleveland.
South Dakota, from the floor, second
ed the nomination of Boies.
Tennessee, through Mr.. G.. w. Ochs,
seconded Cleveland.
Texas seconded the nomination of
Cleveland.
Senator Daniels, of Virginia, was re-
ceived with applause as he marched to
the platform to respond for Virginia. In
seconding the nomination of Mr.. Hill,
Mr.. Daniels paid warm tribute to him,
but the galleries would not listen to him
and very little that he said was heard
beyond the chairman's desk. He went
right on, though, regardless of the cat
calls, and the cries which almost
drowned the sound of his voice.
As the interrupters of Mr.. Daniels
speech grew more and more vociferous,
Bourke Cochran took his stand in the
second aisle, and raising his hand aloft,
said: "Mr. Chairman, if this mob can
not be silenced, and if New York can
not have hearing in this convention
she is ready to leave it."
The excitement which this declara-
ton caused brought about temporary
calm and the chairman. knocking loudly
with his gavel, said he regretted the
confusion, but it was not the delegates,
but the occupants of the galleries who
were creating the disturbance. This
was followed by cries from all parts of
the convention to clear the galleries.
Mr.. Owens moved an adjournment
until II o'clock. It was then 80. Tie
chairman decided it out of order, and
Mr.. Daniels proceeded with his speech.
Hon. John Goode, of Virginia, fol-
lowed in support of the nomination of
Cleveland
Washington seconded Cleveland.
West Virginia seconded HILL

Mr.. Bourl-e Cochran arose in the body
of the hall and said New York, he un-
derstood, had been temporarily passed,
and it was the desire of his colleagues
he should say a few words. He felt
physically unable now and asked as
favor an adjournment until 10 o'clock.
This being met with loud cries of ''no,"
Mr.. Cochran said: Mr.. Chairman, if
there is no objection will take the
platform, which he did. Mr.. Cochran
said that as the state was threatened
with an invasion, his delegates had
asked him to present a plain statement
Of the political condition there.
After Cochran concluded his speech
the roll of states was ordered for q bal
lot. Hills friends made another and
combined eHcrt 10 effect an HIIOurI-
ment, but the volumes Of noes was too
much for them.
The ballot was then taken with the
following rnsl11t.

THURSDAY.

The WIGwAM, CHICAGO, June 3d.
The delegates were slow in gathering,
and at 2 o'clock, the hour to which the
convention adjourned, not over one hum
dred of them were in their seats.
At 2:55 Chairman Wilson pounded the
table with his gavel and called the con-
vention to order. Most of the delegates
were in their seats and the galleries
were quite well filed.
In the call of states Arkansas placed
Gray, of Indiana, in nomination for vice
president; Illinois, Stevenson; Michigan,
Judge Allen B. Morse; Wisconsin, Hon.
John L. Mitchell. The first ballot re-
suited in Stevenson's nomination being
made unanimous. Adjourned sine die.
