Ttio following points of interest wero omitted in tbe ' hurried and imperfect report of tbe j convention sent to day: Before bal- . lotting commenced this morning, the j chairman of the convention announc- ed a meetii'g to night of the national t executive committee of the Union ; League of America at the Unmet ; bouse, and read an invitation to dele- ! ates to visit 'he House of Refuge, which was received with shouts of laughter. During the call of the roll ; for tlio first time, the gallery audience I were en noUy and interrupted tbe 1 proceeding by cheery applause and hisses, that the chair rebuked them, : especially in regard to tbe hisses, and intimated that unless order was pre-j served all balloting would 6top. ! Slinnesotu's ten votes for Blaine received loud applause from the gal-lery. gal-lery. A Mississippi delegate was absent, making the total vote, of that state I liftcen three for Bristow, twelve for Morton. Nebraska cast her solid vote for Blaine, which announcement was heralded with applause. Nevada voted three for Brietow, two for Conkling, and one for Hayes, without eliciting enthusiasm. Blaine's men cheered when New Hampshire cast seven for Blaine and but threo for Bristow. The greatest shoating proceeded from the Blaine Btipporters when New Jersey announced thirteen for Blaine and five for Hayes, the friends of the latter seemed somewhat downcast. down-cast. The Conkling nun shouted for gl iid n e.-s - wh e n N e w York went almost solid for Conkling. North Carolina gave Blaine nine, Conkling seven, Bristow one, which rejoiced the adherents of the former two candidates. Ohio cast her forty-four solid for Hayes, which caused cheers and hisses from ill-mannered people in the lofts. Whfn Pennsylvania gave fifty-eight fifty-eight for' Hartranlt, the cheering came from another ; art of the hall, and the white huts were swung with enthusiasm. Morion's friends cheered South Carolina, which gave Morton thirteen and Uristow (me. Bristow etock was better on ten from Tennessee, four from Texas, and eight from Vermont, and bis friends were again jubilant. The territories voted for Blaine, except ex-cept Wyoming, which went for Bristow. Bris-tow. Tho District of Columbia gave Morton two at the conclusion of the ballot. Cheers filled the hall when Senator Alcorn of Mississippi wished to chance the vote of his delegation. The chair ruled lie could not. Alcorn represented that one delegate dele-gate was absent when tbe stale's vote was called. He subsequently came in. The chair stated tbe case and quoted the fourth rule, that the ballot : should stand unless a numerical error bad been made. Alcorn argued in favor of bis point as being in order. The chair asked if the error was a numerical one. Aleorn said it wag an error in announcing an-nouncing tho vote. . It should have been Morton eleven, Bristow three, Conkling one. The chair then decided that such should bo iho vote, and Alcorn did not press the point of tbe right of tbe absent delegate to vote. The ballot was then announced and the chair said there was no choice. A motion to take a recess of fifteen minutes was lost, and a suggestion h of Orton of New York that ii a state was not ready to respond it be passed for a time, was strongly disapproved. Tbe sec ,nd ballot then commenced, and as Alabama announced sixteen for Blaine his friends sent up n tre-mend:tH tre-mend:tH shout. On tbe announcement of the Connecticut Con-necticut vote a long hiss materially inUrfemd with tlift call, ond the chair again lectured the galleries for interfering with the business o: the convention, especially as they were there only by suflerance, and announced an-nounced that it might become necea suiy to clear the galleries. This produced considerable murmuring, mur-muring, but all disturbance was suppressed. sup-pressed. Jngen-oll, in a subdued tone, announced an-nounced the voto of Illinois, which showed a los of three for Blaino. Thin caused much comment, the dill'iculty of hearing in the back part of.the hall canned tho chair to station a man of tdentorian lungs in the roar end of tho hall to announce tho ballots bal-lots there also. Tho ballot proceeded, und the various vari-ous candidate's friends cheered ah their candidate received the lavors of delegations. When the vole of Pennsylvania was announced as fifty-eight for Hartranlt, Hart-ranlt, J. Smith Suthey of Westchester, rising to a point of order, slated that the vote was incorrect. Himself and hie colleague of thn Sixlh district, wished to ca.-t their votes fur James G. Blaino. Their chairman had refused re-fused to report to tho convention to that el feet. He deniamled that these two votes be reconleu lor uiume, us well as two others in the delegation. This caused excitement, and objections objec-tions were raised. Cessna of 1'tnnsylvania, called attention at-tention to rulo cix, but the chair ruled that it was the privilege of every member of the convention to vote; individually according to bis sentiments, senti-ments, which caused continued cheer. McCormack of Pennsylvania, ap- pealed from tho decision of the chair, and attempted to explain his position, but the excitement in the hall, and especially around the Pennsylvania delegation, was so great that the chair did not appear to notico him as he ro-o, and thereupon put the question whether the chair should bo sustained. sus-tained. Ihe convention by a large majority sustained tho chair. The chair then announced that the four Pennsylvania Pennsyl-vania votes were to b.; recorded for Blaine. |
