blast. The scene was one where femi-
nine charm and manly vigor blended
together in triumphant ovation, to the
man who had now become the idol Of
the hour.
M'KINLEY ATTEMPTS A COUP.
In the midst of this excitement,
Chairman Mckinley called Elliot F.
Shepard to the chair, and before dozen
people were aware of it, was on the floor
clamoring for recognition. When order
was restored, Mckinley said:
"MR. CHAIRMAN AND GENTLEMEN OF
THE CONVENTION: / move that the rules
be suspended and that Benjamin Har-
rison be nominated for president of the
United States by acclamation."
The Harrison people gave q wild,
hysterical cheer OF approval, but there
were cries OF, mo, no, roll CALI" from
the Blaine and Mckinley delegates in
various parts OF the hall. An enthusi-
astic Blaine man made the point of
order that the motion of Mckinley was
not in order.
II desire to cay" said Mckinley,
that you can suspend any rule you
have by a two. thirds majority, and let
US do so now"
The Blaine and Mckinley people re-
fused 70 yield. Chairman pro tenn. Shep-
ard started to pnt the motion, but his
voice could not be heard.
At this juncture various gentlemen
surrounded Mckinley, and after hur-
ried conference the latter again took the
platform and said:
"MR. CHAIRMAN: There are states that
have not been reached which desire to
record their vote, and understand they
will record their votes in the direction
of my motion; in order to enable them
to do SO therefore withdraw my mo-
tion." Prolonged applause.l
HARRISON NOMINATED.
The roll call continued with steady
gain for Harrison, and it was obvious he
was nominated by considerable ma
jority, but it required some time for the
clerks to foot up the results. During
the interval Mckinley had again taken
the chair, and half an hour later asked
the clerk to announce the result of the
roll call.
''The whole number Of votes" said
the clerk, .'is 90415; the number neces-
sary to choice, 463. Benjamin Har-
rison received $50 1-6 votes; James G.
Blaine, 1872 l.6; William Mckinley, 1872 |;
Robert Lincoln, vote; Thomas B. Reed,
votes"
Benjamin Harrison having received
the majority of all the votes cast" said
Chairman Mckinley, sis the nominee
of this convention. Shall the nomina-
tion be made unanimous?
''All in favor OF makingit unanimous,
say ave." said the chairman. There
was storm Of ayes.
''It lie unanimous" said the chairman,
and once more the convention gave
itself over to one OF those scenes of
enthusiasm which had been 60 familiar
to the proceedings of the day.
