NATIONAL COMMITTEE MEET

The nomination Of Arthur Sewall of Maine
for the vice presidency by the democratic
national convention at Chicago Saturday
was announced in an extra edition of The
Star. After the withdrawal of Bland s
name by Governor Stone of Missouri the
Bland votes on the fourth ballot went to
Sewall in large blocks. but Mclean captured
enough to give him, seemingly, safe lead
of 2!4 against 261 for Sewall. During this
roll call there had been trouble in the Ohio
delegation. which was polled, and showed
IA anti-McLean votes locked up by the unit
rule. There was also a big revolt against
Gov. Altgeld's domination in the Illinois
delegation Ex-Congressman Fithian made
hery protest against the nomination of the
Ohio editor.
1t was at this critical juncture that a tele-
gram from John r. Mclean was read by
one Of the Ohio delegates. The telegram
he should not be balloted for. Delegate
Sloan. however. after reading the telegram
distinctly stated that while the telegram
expressed Mr.. McLean's wish, it did not ex-
press the sentiment of Ohio. which, on the
fifth ballot. cast her 46 votes for Mclean.
The telegram. however, shattered the Nc
Lean forces. and Indiana, Iowa and other
states focked into the camp OF the Maine
man. Sewalls nomination was made unani-
nous before conclusion Of the roll call
amid scenes of jubiiation and rejoicing. In
the course Of which the state standards
were paraded about the Coliseum in the
wake or the colors of Nebraska and Maine.
