The Whole Day Spent in Taking Twenty-eight Ballots. Grant’s Vote Ranges All the Way from 303 up to 3 And Blaine’s from 277 to 286, While Sherman’s Is About Ninety, Scattering Votes for Garfield, Hayes, Harrison, McCrary, Hartranit, and Davis of Texas, Anti-Grant Men Adjourn the Con. vention Until 10 This Morning. Tho Blaine and Sherman Fac- tions Caucus Late into the Night. AProgram of Action to Be Arranged if Possible for This Morning. Some Prospeot that the Convention Will Be Able to Olowe Its Lahors This Evening. It may be that no resticamo to delegates and the managors of candidates causes between Sut- urday nlght and tho rodesembling of tho Con- vention, but as tho crowds poured Into the gal- lerles thore was nn aspect of ronewed life, vital- ity, and brightness in ‘all thelr faces. At last! thay scemod to say, We &ra to be gratified with the sound ot neall of tho States and Territorics and the District of Columbia forn vote on Presi- dentin! candidates. Every entrance was bo- sieged by a surging crowd of very anxious tickot-holders, who seemed ‘to feel that thoro was o conspiracy to keep them out of the hall. ‘There was more pushing than on nny previous day. Many belioved that they were, if success- ful in possing the doorkcepers, about to witness tho finn session of ‘tho Convention, and hear Chairman Hoar declare the numo of tho victor in the long race, 80, whou the multitude cmerged from the twe'y patsagoways into tho hall iteulf ovory faco. wns animatod, hoated, ox- cited, eager! ‘Tho opening scenes of provious essions wero all repeated with more effect, Thero was moro noise and louder conversation, and tho cheors which greated the entranceof distinguished per- sons wero moro hearty and moro prolonged. Thero were more Indios in the audience (which may account for the inerense of conversation), and tholr bright costumes rendored the gal- leries more picturesque. Everything proclaimed tho nppronch of tho climax,—that timo when tho final shout of victory to ono of the factions would rend the alr. Tho band plnyed, with fine effect, * Hall Columbia,” which produced emo- tion in tho audience, And it was at that mo- ment—half-past 30 o'clock—tho gnyel sounded and the Convention came to order, Tho Rev. Mr. Evorest offered prayer, during which thera ‘was comparative silence; not completo silence, as on former occasions. The audionce was too excited to keep absolutely atill. The Chair dirceted tho reading of two of tho resolutions adopted on Saturday, with a viow to the correction of 9 misapprehonsion, notably with rogard to tho subject of Chinese {mmigra- don, Mr. Hato was recognized and moyed that tho Convention “now proceed undor tho rules to ballot for a candidate for President." The mo- tion was heconded by Mr.Conkling, of New York, after being overruled ona pointof order. Bo- fore putting the question, the Chair addressod the Convention, calling attention to tho fact of tho Importance of the work sbout to bo por formod, Whon, having concluded his remarks, tho question was put and carricd,. The rulo governing the prococdings was thon road, Tho cullof tho roll then commonced. In announce ing the vote of California, the Chalrman of tho delegation said: “California custs its voto firat, lust, and all the tino for James G, Dlaino.* Tho Chair stated that tho uso of unnecessary words in anouneing the voto was'out of-order, Ho rapped down all npplauso with grout’ vigor, and the Convention and the audtence promptly ucquicscud, Atno timo during tho sessions of the Convention bad order been so porfeot ag during the progress of tho balloting. Every invipiont cheer in tho audience was mot with hisses. Tho vast throng in the galleries seemod determined to redcom tho reputation of tho public, When Now York was renched Mr, Conkling anounced that tho delegation of bis Stato desired to vote individually; and it was so ordered. When Hirdsall of the First District voted for Blaine thero was au attompt at ap plauso, but it was sharply rappod down, What was tho purpose of Conkling In asking for u call of tho individual delegates? Was it to galn time, or was it to Intimidute? Nobody know, Tho result was two for Shermnn, seven- toon for Blaine and fifty-one for Grunt, which showed @ break of four from tho auti-Grant. breuk. Tho Obto Blaine men, nino in number, stood by bi on this, tho first ballot, In Toxas Blaine got 2, Shormun 2, Washvurne },and Grant tL ‘Tho Chnirman of the Wost Virginia delegation dealred to mako an explanation in the nature of question of privilege, but was denied tho: right, whoreupon ho repoted tho vate algitt for Blaine, one for Grant, When the Clork bad ree ported Wyoming, thore wasa great wayo of sound swept over tho audience, before so still, whioh resomblod tha buaz of a rising swarm of bees, Thon thoro was ailonco as tho Clork steppod forward to announco tho rosult. The result was: Grant, Ot; Blaine, 21; Shorman, 09; Edmunds, 84; Washburne, 00; Windom, 10. ‘Total voto, 755,—ono short of the full Conveu- tion, Thora was applause, but it wus quickly suppressed, and the second call commenced. Whon Florida was callod the votu was an- nounced as 8 for Grunt. But the report wus challenged by a colored dulogute, and the dolor gation was called. Deau, tho protesting dvlo- gato, when called, voted for Blaine. The voto was announced as6 for Grant und] for Hlaine, ‘Thon Binith, que of the dclogates, was called, and voted for Grant in a very weak volce. Tho yoto lout to Graut in Florida was regatuod In Miasisaipp! feom Shorman. But Craut lost one yoto in North Caroling which went to Sherman. Pennsylvania gave ono vote to Garfeld, and tho report of it waachecred, Grant lost two votes In Virginin, There being but 9 votes reported from West Virginia, the roll of delegates was called, with the samo result aa on first ballot. Tho ballot was without Inetdent, except tint noted in the caso of Florida, until the call reached tho ‘Territory of Wyo- ming, whon Grant gained 2 vote—-Wyoming was solids Tho vote stood: Garfletd, 1; Washburne, 1; Windom, 10; Sherman, 04; Bolao, 282; Grant, 205. Butterworth, of Ohio, was recognized, but was inet by 2 ruling of the Chair in the case of West Virginia that nono but delegates and their alternates could answer tho call, which covered the point about which Iuttcrworth wished to inquire. ‘The third call was commenced. Whon New York was calted Mr. Conkling roso and sald: “1 om informed that two delegntes desire to bo recorded for Mr, Sherman, 17 for Mr, Blaino, and 51 for U. 8. Grant.” Ben Harrison got one vote from Pennsylvania. Wyuining divided this time to resturo the bal- ance, } for Btuine and 1 for’ Grant. The re- eult of the third ballot was: Harrison. 1; Gare field, 1; Washburne, 31; Windom, 10; Edinunda, i; Sherman, 04; Bintne, 282; Grant, a, ‘Tho roll was inimediately proceeded with on the fourth ballot. The Pennsylvanin delegate who voted for Harrison on the third ballot went back toSherman, This ballot was so monoto- nous thnt the audience ahowed algns of a desire togotosleep. All excitement seemed to have dicd away. Tho result was: Gartield. 1; Wine dom, 10; Washburne, 81; Edmunds, 8; Shere mun, 05; Walne, 281; Grant, 305, ‘There was light checring, which tho Chafrman rapped down, and ordered the fifth ballot. Conk- ling tried tobe funny in reporting tho vote of Now York, and Butterworth made an amusing error, substituting tho name of Grant for that of Ohio's favorit fon, which ho. corrected amid much Inughter, The oudlence, having actually gone to sleep, woke up to heur the result of the ballot, which was: Garfetd, 1; Windom, 19; Washburne, 31; Edmunds, 82; Bherman, 05; Blaine, 241; Grant, 305. ‘Tho roll-call for the sixth ballot was imme- dlately proceeded. with. One delegate from Alabama broke from Grant to Garficld, which crented a little sensation. The name of Gurfeld seemed to muke tho audience tremulous, car- rying thom to tho very vergo of enthusinsin. A block of votes going to him then would bavo created's tromendous excitement. When New York was culled Mr. Conkling was funny again, hfe fun consisting [n varying the torm of the un- nouncement of the vote of the State. The Chatr- man of tho West Virginia delegation (tho oditor), when he rose to announce the vote of tho State, fraltated Conkling, wherent thore was o luugh which extended tv all sections of the ball. ‘The result of the ballot was: Garfield, 2; Win dam, 10; Edmunds, &2; Washburne, 31; Sher- man, 95; Blaine, 280; Grant, 305, ‘Tho seventh ballot was ordered, When New ‘York was called Br. Conkling snd: " ‘Two dele- gntes aro said to bo for John Sherman, 17 for James G. Blaine, and 61 are fur Gen, Grant.” Grant gained one voto In North Carolina from Shorman and lost ou in South Carolina, which went to Blaine, The West Virginia Chairman again imitated Conkling, saying: “One delegate claims to be for U.S. Grant and 8 are known to bo for James G. Blaine.” The ballot resulted as follows: Garficld, 2; Windom, 10; Edmunds, #2; Wasb- burne, 31; Sherman, 94; Blaine, 281; Grant, 905, ‘The Chairman sald: * The voto will be again taken.” Harrison, of Indlana, moved to nd- Journ, but tho motion was lost by a large ma- Jority, and tho call proceeded on the eighth ballot. Grant got his original seventeen in Alabama. Blaino gained two in Indiana and ono in Maryland. Grant lost one in North Carolina and gained ono in Pennsyl- vania. Blaine gained one from Sherman tn Vir- ginia. Theso slight changes kept the audlence from going to sleep or quitting the hall, When Wyoming bad voted there was a buzzing sound throughout the house, and the audience rose, and stretched tholr legs, and yawned, . Tho ro- sult of tho ballot was: Garfleld, 1; Windom, 10; Edmunds, 81; Washburne, 32; Sherman, 91; Blaine, 264; Grant, 30d, Adelegate asked that tho vote be again an- nounced, which wns donc. Grant had gained one on bis provious highest vote, and his. friends cheered. Order was soon restored, and tho cull for the niuth bailot commenced. Maryland gaye one vote for Gartietd. Grant gained ono in Mis- aissippiand one In North Carolina, both from Sherman, Tho ballot resulted: Garfleld, 2; Wine dom, 10; Edmunds, 31; Washburne, 2; Shere man, 90; Bluine, Grant, 308, The Grant forces cheored lustily, but were quickly rappedfiown, 'The tonth bullot was orterad, and tho call of tho roll proceeded, Grant lost two votes to Shormun in North Carolina. In tho Now York delegation Conkling retired for lunch and Gen. Arthur re- ported tho vote, Virginia gave a vote tor Ruth- erford B. Hayes, and thoro was applause. Tho audience waked up, rubbed Ita eyes, and smiled rather ploasantly. Tho ballot resulted: Hnyes, 1; Gartield, 2; Windom, 10; Edmunds, 31; Wash- burne, 33; Shorinnn, 02; Blaine, 282: Grant, 305, Thero wero great cheers, presumbly becauso Grant had lost a vote, ‘The oleventh ballot was ordered, and tho call commenced. Conkling wns scen talking with tho Mussnohusotts delegation, and tho vote ot that Stato was watched for anxiously. Tho yoto of Georgia was orrone- ously reported, showlug a gnin of two for Grant, but promptly corrected, thereby squeleh- ing an inelplont cheer from the Grant partisuns, ‘When Mussachusotts reported there was abso- Inte sltence, but it disclosed no change, and thore was a sigh of reliof on tho part of Blatno's friends, and a frown on the faces of tho Grant people, Htalng lost one to Sherman in Virginia, find tho State again gave one yote to Hayes, Grant los{ng one vote. Tho vote was disputed. and tho voto of Virginia was called by Individual delegutoy, which reaultod as before announced, Hussoll was tho voter for Hayes. The ballot atood: .Hayes, 1; Garfleld, 2; Windom, 10; Kd- munds, 91; Washburno, 2; Shorman, 99; Blaino, 281; Grunt, 005, ‘Tho twelfth ballot wna ordored. A recess was moved from Wisconsin, put, and lost decisively. Nobody, 6o to speak, wanted to adjourn, and the balloting proceeded. Blaine gainod one tu dils- aissippl. The battot was ‘“atalo, flat, and unprofitable.” It contained no single element of a sonsational character, and tho audienco was too tired to make even a sign of imvationce, Tho ballot stood: Hnycs, 1; Garilold, 1; Windom, 10; Edniunds, 31; Wash- burne, 33; Bhorman, 02; Binino, 283; Grant, OL ‘There wore great cheors, for which thoro up- poured to bo no other reason than Grant's loss of one vote; and tho thirtoenth ballot was pro- cooded with undur tho cull, Maryland gavo Goorgo W. McCrary, of Lowa, one vote, but there were no cheers, not even a ripple of sound Rreating the announcement. This ballot was more flat thun the one preceding It, Tt resulted; Guartleld, 1; McCrary, 1; Windom, 10; Edmunds, Oty Washburno, 33; Shermun, 80; Blaino, 285; Grunt, 005. Tho fourteenth baltot was ordored and tho call proceeded amld considerable confusion on the dolegate floor, many dolegutes appearing on thelr feot caucusing. Garileld, Mayes, and MoCrury were dropped out of this ballot, Wash burne gaining tholr vetea, Tho. result waa: ‘Windom, 10; Edmunds, 31; Washburno, 34; Shore man, 80; Blaine, 285; Graut, 003, Tho fftconth Dallot was ordored, and tho call commenced, - Grant galued two votes In Virginia, Was it bos cause of a visit from Conkling during the prog- rossef tho last precoding ballot? Ho appeared in their neighborhood oortainly, The result was; Windom, 10; Edmunds, 31; Washburno, 0; Bhorman, 88; Btaine, 241; Grant, 900, ‘Thero was groat chooring at this gain for Graut, Tho cull of tho roll was ordered for the alxtconth ballot, ‘and proceeded with, Tho cull of Florida dis- closed the absence of tho Blaine detogato, the State rvporting only sevon yotos, Tho ballot was without any {uoldunt of Interust except the Joss of two yotes by Grant gained by Dlaino, and resulted as follows: " Windom, 10; Edmunds, 81;, Washburne,’ 06; Shirman, 88; Blalne, 28); Grant, 106, A recess to 5:00 o'clock was moved and lost, ty " ‘Tho roll for the seventgenth ballot was callod, Grant lost ona vote in Alabame. Blaino re- galnod the Florida nbsontes vote of the last bal- lot, and gained one vote from Sherman in Ken- tucky and ono from Grant in Now York, Ono voto !n North Carolina leftGrant, Texas gavo & vote for Gov, Davis, Tho ballot reguiteds Davis, 1; Windom, 10; Rdmunds, 31; Washburno, ‘50; Sherman, 90; Diatne, 284: Grant, 303. The eighteenth ballot was ordered, and tho eatt commenced, Blaine lost two votes to Wash- burne In IndInna, but recovered thom tn an? other State. Sharpe disputed the reported vote of Now York,and the roll of delegates was eatled. Tho enlt disnppointed Sharpe and dis- closed the new Blaine recrutt, Mr. McCarthy, at which thore was grent applause, Only fifty Grant votes could be mustered, Therenult was: Windom, 10; Edmunds, 31; Washburno, 35; Sherman, 91; Hiaine, 283; Grant, 005. At hult-pnst 3 o'clock n delegate from Missie- sippl moved o recess till 7 o'clock in the even- ing, and it was carried, The audience rose as ono man, and without stopping to shake itsclf or stretch Its arma, rushed peli-mell out of the hall, The Conven- tion was dutl and moody, ahd searccly realized that !thad adjourned, Many delegates walked Off the floor and through the doors, and emorged upon the = street with bowed heads and very serious countenanees. The Con- vention had long ago made up ita mind not tonominaieGrant. It mustsoon make up Itstaind who it would nominate. There was tho rub! Elghteen ballots/and the eighteenth ballot toallintents and purposes a duplicate of tho first. No progress in the middle of the after- noon of the fifth dayt It waa an situation unox- ampled in tho history of Republican Conven- tions. ‘Tho great nudienco went home todinner, and tha delegates suuntered wearily, languidly to their botels, But not all of them went to din- ner. Caucusing became the Instant businessof tho hour. Tho Grant managers plied the Southorn colored and white delegates with all sorts of ar- guments, They made nv efforts anywhere clac. They bave un hope of capturing the votes of Northern delegates; thoir only bopo is in those Btutes of tho South which can, under no circumstances, give tho candi- dute, whoever. he may be, a single Electoral .yote. The Blaine mon pleaded with the Windom and Washburnedelegates,with what success remained to bo disclosed nt the evening session. It waa very quict at tho hotels, All tho faces one peered Into were determined faces. Mon overywhere wore thinking of the wrand bistory of the Ropublican party, and hop- Ing that it was not now ubout to commit a blun- der, a crime, which would not only deatroy St, but cast backward a dark shadow, obscuring and staining all {ts falr record. Menntime, theGrant managers were inexorable and intensely activo, Every dotay gave thom hope—bope of wearing out the Convention, And tho Binine managors were equally determined. * We bave Ied the column of attack upon the cltndel you nll desired to sce fall," said they, “and now that tho battle 1s .al- tmost won you wish us to surrender to Wash- burne, or Windom, or 8hi .or Garfeld tho firat fruits of tho season. ‘his 1s too much,” thoy continued, “Take your cholee between Blaine and Grant. Blulna fs tho {dol of the poo- ple. Nominnte him and ho witt sweop tho country; refuse to nominate him, Iet the nom- ination goto Grant, and no mun can say what will be the result. We'offer you an Austeriitz! Will you tuke tho chance of 2 Waterloo?” As the Convention reassembled it boro ail tho. inarks of extreme nervousness, Delegates did not take tholr seats, but gathered In Httlo knots, talking carnestly. What would the Convention do? Nobody know, at loast nobody in the out- sido throng. If combinations had been mado tho secret of thelr nature had not “leaked out." ‘The time for tradea waa short, and {f trades had been made thoy would only be disclosed by tho balloting. At7 o'clock tho gallories were not much: more than half-illed, and the extreme northerly section was a vast vacautspace. Tho spectators were stil! Ingering over their dinners, But thore was a vast crowd pressing in and dropping upon tho vacant seats, The interest had not dagged; on tho contrary, It had evidently deepened in intensity. Tho faces of the audi- ence were flushed with excitement, and somo of thom with passion, Garfield worked his way through the crowd of delegates very modcstly, evidently hoping to, drop, into. bis sent. .withuit belng ob- seryell, But the gallerica are argua-eyed. Gare Aicla was detocted, and a-very hearty cheor went up, which broke upon tho low, buzzing sound of conversation Ike the great tenth wave thunder- ing onthe rock-bound const. But the wave of cheers subsided. and left the buzzing, bechive sound master of tho situntion, 80 to spenk. Oo- cusionally the band broke in upon the infernal, confusing monotone with a stirring air ina way which wus very grateful indeed, When Conk- {ng marchod loftily up tho broad aisle of the dolegute tloor tho Grant auditors raised o grout racket; but thoy have pretty much worn out thelr voices, and tho cheers on this occasion sounded ike tho creaking of frogs hoarse with acold in tho throat, Thedin lasted half an hour, the delegates atil! standing and the band still playing. The Chairman looked a little worn and tired, but resolute and cheerful, and nt balf-past 7 precisely rapped tho tumultuous crowd to order; and the Clork was directed to call tho roll for the niheteonth bal- lot. Florida voted solld for Grant, whoreat there was applause, and tho Chatr threatened to clear tho gulleries in the event of {ts repetition.
