found supporting the ticket, and he re- fused to recognize MT. Cookery for the purpose of addressing the convention. MT. Cookery then left the stand, and this terminated the incident.
 Governor Stone Moves Adjournment. [
 Governor Stone of Missouri was next recognized to move an adjournment. He said the work thus far done had been, in his judgment, well done, but they had yet to name an associate for their great leader on the ticket. He believed this was an important work, which should not be hastily or inconsiderately per- formed. It should on the contrary, be performed in the most mature and delib- crate ms rer possible, and to the end that delt. tions might have the oppor- tunity te. onfer with each other and ar- rive ats conclusion which would in the end stfv gthen the ticket, in order that no mfo Ike might be made, he moved that tSs convention do now adjourn until 10 o'o . k tomorrow.
 rps galleries, which were densely pacbS and which to a greater extent thal S ast night undertook to take charge offS proceedings, here interposed loud ch IS of 'noes." MT Rhea of Ken tJ .. made the point of order that the TjIion had not been seconded, but the Sir, disregarding the point, ordered the se6retary to call the roll.
 Revolt Against Altgeld.
 The first open revolt in convention against the domina tion of Gov. John F. Altgeld manifested itself when the gov ernor in his capacity as chairman of the Illinois delegation. announced the forty-eight votes of the state for adl journment. MT. Harry Donovan of Chi4 cago, who has been a Boies man from the start, jumped up to challenge the ac7 < curacy of the count. His note of deff- ance was received with applause from the Chicago crowds in the gallery, who understood the situation, and cheers fo1F lowed each negative vote. Metropolitan and country delegates who had been lukewarm in their obedience to the goy-.T ernor's will and restless on numerous occasion voted against adjournment. The vote was "A ayes, Il noes, 13 absent9 Under the unit rule this vote was made 4S aye, but MT. Donovan and others dis puted it's correctness, shouting that 1t took 25 votes to make a majority.
 What's the matter with Illinois now?" inquired the chairman, good naturedly, and closed the incident by ruling In favor of the governor.
 The audience followed the taking of the vote with quite as much interest as 1t had shown on the questions of the plat! form and the ballottpg for presidential candidate, and when any delegation voted "no'' on the question of adjourn- ment the vote was greeted with loud cheers. However, when the call of the roll had proceeded far enough to show that the motion for adjournment was to prevail the crowds, without waiting for the termination of the vote, determined to "stand not upon the order of their go- ing, but to go at once," and so they be- gan a rather informal and tumultuous withdrawal.
 The clerk went on with the roll call and did not always wait for a 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- ative. The chairman then, at 9:30 D. mi, stated that the convention was adj journed until tomorrow morning at tQ o'clock. ft+ 4
