At this iuncture an amusing incident
OF the day occurred: Large sized por.
traits OF Gray, Cleveland and Hendricks
had been suspended In row above the
stage during the proceedings. Sudden
ly the portrait OF Gray began to swing,
probably impellcd by slight draughts OF
air, and finally turning with tho face to
the wall, rested in that position. In
stantly there was wild yell OF applause
from tho Cleveland men who regarded
this rs an omen OF the rctirement OF
Isaac Pussey Gray from tho prcsiden-
tial arena. Frantic attempts We're made
by the Gray men on the stage to restore
the picture to its original position, but
it persisted repeatedly in swinging back
with the face to tho wall.
Another draught OF air caught Clovc.
lands portrait, and it, too, began to
swing TO one side. Immediately there
were dcaiening jeers OF delight from
the Gray men, but their enthusiasm
was. short lived. The portrait only
swung half way round and when it
stopped facing tho ladies' gallery, and
the fair admirers OF the cS-prcsident
applaudcd this unconscious Difference
to their sex, the Cleveland men caught
it up, and the late mishap was made
tho OCCASION for another enthusiastic
Cleveland demonstration.
The great contest of the day began
when the nomination OF candidate for
governor was declared in order. John
&. Shankiin, OF Evansyille, Mason ],
Niblack, of Vincennes, and Mortimer
Nyc, OF Iaporte, were each placed in
nomination, with the usual manfesta-
tions of enthusiasm, but the widest
demonstration OF the day took place
when Claude Matthews, OF Clinton, was
presented as "the farmer candidate"
AT the conclusion Of the first ballot
he was within few votes OF the nomi-
nation, tho result being, Matthews, 6lS;
Shan!slin 500; Niblack, 173. and Nyc
$50 Immediately two counties changed
their votes, giving him forty-seven
votes, and his nomination was assured.
