AN UNPRECEDENTED SCENE.
He had barely finished when the same
scene that occurred when Hills name
was first mentioned, was repeated.
The delegates pushed down the aisles
toward the front and threatened to in
wade the stage. Senator Hill said out
OF the din: "rhe rules OF tho assembly
are still In force here and the roll call
should be allowed to proceed"
The gavel was banged several times,
and as the applause subslde somewhat
1t was almost as Immediately resumed,
when. jumping upon the press tables
Cochran faced the audience aud waved
both hands for order. In an instant
the noise subsidized aud the congress-
man began an impassioned speech, call
ing upon the. convention to disregard
Hills declination and to make him the
candidate.
When Cochran had finished the scenes
that had preceded this we're mere
nothing in comparison with the pan
demonium that reigned at least five
minutes.
Vainly did Senator Hill use the gavel
and call upon the delegates for order.
At the sound Of his voice the applause
took on new impetus. AT last, when
somo quiet was restored. the senator
demanded that the roll call proceed un-
der the rule OF the assembly adopted us
the rule OF the convention. Clerk De-
Freest began the calling OF the roll amid
cries OF "call slowly" As each county

name and urged Senator Hill to accept.
HILL is STUBBORN.
Congressman Cochran evidently did
not like the delay, for springing upon
the table Of tho Associated Press, he
said:
"All who are in favor of nomination
by acclamation will lsay ave."
There was a mighty shout, and to the
same summons for "those opposed, nc"
there was not a voice heard. Then,
turning to Senator Hill. ho said:
"Sir, the people summon you to your
duty" Applause
Again Chairman Hill managed to re-
store order in order that assembly dis
tricts might be called. The convention
showed disposition not to allow this,
but Mayor Gilroy sprang upon chair
and said:
II only desire to say this, that there
ia no question. Il Is the unanimous
sentiment Of this convention that sena-
tor David B. Hill should benr the DEM
ocratic standard in this campaign. l
am satisfied from the fact that Senator
Hill has never yet failed in his duty to
tho Democratic party, and II this ia
conveyed to him deliberately and
properly, he will obey the command Of
this convention. Applause.
"There can DO no question about the
result, and I move that the roll be
called, and that each county as 1t Is
called, or each assembly district, cast
the voto OF its delegates for governor" "
During the excitement that attended
tho clerks announcement OF the nomi-
nation OF Senator Hill, the senator sat
inanimate behind the chairman's table.
His usual pale face was almost ashy.
His hand trombled, and he did not von-
ture to speak.
