closed the incident by ruling In favor Of
the governor.
The audience followed the taking OF the
vote with quite as much interest as IL
had shown on the questions OF the plat
form and the balloting for a presidential
candidate, and whenever 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 terminate ton OF the vote, determined
to stand not upon the order of their go-
ing" but to go at once, and so they be-
gan an informal and rather 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 car
ried in the affirmative.
The chairman then stated, at $40
O'Clock, that the convention was ad-
journed until tomorrow morning at Il
o'clock.
