mination of the vote began an informal
and rather tumultuous withdrawal.
The clerk went on with the roll-call and
did not always wait for reply, but set
down the state as voting AYE" and in
this way the result was arrived at and
was announced as carried in the affirm
atlVe. The chairman then stated at
$3.50 that the convention was adjourned
Till 10 a. m. tomorrow.
Bland banners Boies banners and
emblems of other candidates fell in line
and the eliminating point was reached
when the Bland band. headed by the
numerous transparencies bearing the
Missourian's name, took step with the
step and bent it's endeavors to "DiXies'
lively air. When it was over people
fell back in their chairs exhausted and
listened quietly to the formalities which
concluded the session.
Tonight a session was held for the
purpose of selecting the candidate for
vice president. but without proceeding
to ballot an adjournment was forced
until tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock,
when efforts will be made to complete
the business of the convention.
The Evenings Session.
Chicago, July 10.-The proceedings
of this evenings session of the demo-
cratic national convention were opened
a few minutes before 8 o'clock, when
Senator White of California the chair
man, called the convention to order.
At that time Ex-Governor Flower and
fair proportion of the New York del
egates were occupying seats in their
section, Senator Hill and William G.
Whitney having left the city in the af-
ternoon. Most of the New Jersey dele
gates were also present. The fact that
both these state delegations had de-
clined to participate in the balloting
for the presidential candidate made
their presence tonight matter of re-
mark.
The chairman announced that after
the nomination for vice presidency
should be made (whenever that might
be) the committee on notification would
at once meet in the room of the com
mittee on the resolutions" He then
stated that General Bragg of Wiscon-
sin desired to make some remarks and
he accordingly introduced the general
to the convention. General Bragg
said:
Il rise, Mr.. Chairman, on a question
of state privilege. When the delega-
ton of Wisconsin was to-day engaged
in private consultation as to what
should be done by it In the future some
gentleman Ct suppose he was gentle
man; in fact, / know him to be such)
stole the colors of our state and pasesd
them, as the representation of my del
egation and of my state, into the trail
of the victor, for whom we had refused
to cast our votes. / make this state
ment, not in order to cast reflection
upon anybody, but simply to place the
state, which I represent as its chair
man, right, so that the record will show
that we trailed not the Wisconsin badg-
er behind the votes of the majority of
this convention" (Cheers)
Mr. Dockery attempted to take the
stand to answer General Braggs re-
marks and as the two Wisconsin an
tagonists confronted each other Gen
eral Bragg shook his finger in Mr.
Dockerys face and said: IF you make
any personal remarks about me you
will suffer for it,"
The chairman remarked that what
ever asperity might exist between the
gentlemen from Wisconsin ought not
to enter into a national convention. He
was satisfied the gentlemen in the end
would be found supporting the ticket.
Mr. Dockery then left the stand and
this terminated the incident. Cover
nor Stone of Missouri was next recog-
nized to move an adjournment. He
said the work thus far done had been,
in his judgment, done well. but they
had yet to name an associate for their
great leader. He believe this was an
important work which should not be
hastily or inconsiderately performed.
1t should, on the contrary. be perform
ed in the most mature and deliberate
manner possible and to the end that
the delegations might have the oppor-
tunity to confer with each other and
arrive at a conclusion which in the
end would strengthen the ticket. in or
der that no mistake might be made he
moved that the convention adjourn un-
til IL o'clock tomorrow.
The galleries which were densely
packed and which to a greater extent
before than last night undertook to
take hand. set UP chorus of ''no,
no." Mr.. Henry of Missouri moved to
make the hour 10 a. m. Governor Stone
accepted the amendment, and the con-
yantion adjourned
