Gray in the second place. Young John
S. Bhea, of Kentucky, was sent up to
second Mr. Stevenson’s nomination in
behalf of a part of the delegation. His
speech was roundly cheered. Edwin

for Michigan. He presented the name of
Chief Justice B. Morse, of the Peninsula
State.
New York being called. Gov. Flower
arose and announced that New York had
no candidate to present. North Carolina
seconded the name of Stevenson, and
then there was a skip a’ong the states in
the roll until Texas was reached, and its
voice was lifted for Gray. John Goode,
of Virginia, got on his chair and sent up
his indorsement of Stevenson. Wash¬
ington announced for Gray. Then came
up Delegate Bragg, of Wisconsin, to put
up the name of John L. Mitchell, of that
state. Oklahoma came under the Steven¬
son umbrella, and Alabama, which had
passed at the end of the roll, came up
with a second for Morse, of Michigan.
CALLING THE STATES.
Then, the nominations being conclud¬
ed, roll call was begun. Alabama led off
with a skip for Morse. Gray. Arkansas California came
in with her sixteen for

were cheers. The biggest breeze of the
roll call swept the convention when Gov
ernor Flower stood on his feet and
stated that New York was solid
for Stevenson—seventy two votes. The
breeze grew to a gale of applause. It
subsided only to rise again when North
Carolina stepped into the Stevenson col¬
umn. When Ohio shot out thirty-eight
of her forty-six votes for Stevenson the
excitement grew, and when the Key¬
stone State dropped sixty-four votes into
the hat of Gray, a counter current of
cheering caused a cloudburst of confu¬
sion over the convention floor. Wiscon¬
sin cast her twenty-three votes for John
L. Mitchell. When the roll was finished
the figures showed for Stevenson 402 and
Gray 243—no choice.
GOING TO STEVENSON.
Then began changes. Iowa first came
into the Stevenson camp, Montana next,
foBowed by Nebraska. Ohio got into
line amid great cheers. Missouri climb¬
