Til THE OVATION
A Custom Born In the -Political
Conventions of 1892.
THE OUTBURST FOR BLAINE.
It Lasttd For Nsarly Twtnty-five Min
utes and Almost 8wpt the Conven
tion Off Its F.t-Th Cleveland
Demonstration Was Trifle Longer.
Timing tlio ovatlotiH at political con
vention for fnvorlto cnmlldutus was
born In tin- natlouul convention of
1892. Notwithstanding th fuel that Jt
was pretty generally understood who
would koud tlio ticket In tlmt your,
there were fntcri'Mlliig and even excit
ing incident In both convention.
At MliimnipoIlN tlio Itluliio rutin fouglit
nobly, but to no purpose. The gal
leries were with lilm. but a majority
of the delegated, cotitemptuounly re
ferred to by Senator Edward Wolcott
of Colorado n the "bread and butter
brigade," were for Uarrlhon, and they
could not bu swayed by oratory, emo
tion or cash.
For a brief half bour, however, the
Harrison men were plainly troubled.
Chauntey M. Depew was on tho plat
form necondlng the nomination of Har
rison. I(o bad spoken about ten min
utes when he mentioned the name of
Blalue. Tho effect wan slmlllar to that
produced by touching a lighted match
to a powder magazine. Tho conven
tion "blew up." Then and there be
gan what wan destined In the future
to become a regular convention feature
-the timed ovation. The lllalne men,
aided lustily by tho galleries, took up
the rhythmic cry of "Blaine. Blaine.
James O. Blaine!" The chairman of
the convention was absolutely power
less to check tho wildly enthusiastic
crowd. Mr. Depew's face was a
study. Ho stood dtBconcerted and
helpless, smiling nevertheless. The
first outbreak was of perhaps ten min
utes' duration. At tho end of that
time the crowd was nearly exhausted
The chairman rapped vigorously for
order, and the convention wbs about
to give Its attention to Mr. Depew
when some leather lunged delegate
again started tho "Blaine. Blaine.
James (i. Blaine!" slogan. At tho
same moment Mrs. Carson Lake, the
wife of a well kuown newspaper man.
who was seated on the platform, Jump
ed to her feet and began to lead tho
cheering, keeping the crowd In perfect
unison by using a white parasol as a
baton.
No similar scene has ever been wit
nessed In a national convention. The
first Blaine outburst was more than in
spiring. This one was simply over
whelming, liven many of the Harrison
men were caught in the wave of en
thusiasm, and the next fifteen minutes
were auxlous oues for his political
managers. Mrs. Iake did her part
well. Assuredly hers was the greatest
parasol flirtation ever carried on In
the United States. She dominated the
12.000 men who stood before her for a
quarter of an hour. In the opinion of
many persons she came very close to
upsetting the convention programme.
Had a less adroit speaker than Mr.
Depew been before the assemblage she
might have done so.
However, the Blaine cheering lasted
between twenty-two and twenty-five
minutes. Then the convention nomi
nated Harrison and Held.
Ten days Inter the Democrats assem
bled in Chicago. The late William C.
Whitney was In charge of the Cleve
land forces. Notwithstanding the well
understood fact that he had the situa
tion uuder perfect control several ad
herents of David B. Hill, notably Ed
ward Murphy, Jr., of Troy, Insisted
upon having Mr. Hill's name presented
to the convention.
The day of the nomination was un
pleasant enough outside of the conven
tion hall. Inside it was almost unbear
able, Hardly had tho delegates seated
themselves when a heavy thunder and
lightning storm broke out. Farts of the
roof were leaky, and some of the dele
gates raised umbrellas. While the
storm was rnglug one of tho arc lights
became loosed from Its position and
came swinging down over the heads of
the New York delegation, barely miss
ing Uoswell P. Flower. Some time was
required to restore order, but the storm
abated, aud the convention proceeded
to business in tho most humid spot on
the North American continent The
morning session was unimportant.
When tho convention reassembled In
tho afternoon it was generally under
stood that it would not adjourn until a
nomination had been made.
Mr. Cleveland's uame was presented
and was seconded nearly all the way
down the alphabetical list of states
until New York was reached. During
the early part of the session there were
a great deal of cheering and enthusi
asm, but finally the crowd tired of
oratory. As the hour approached mid
night the galleries became a hooting
mob, and many of the delegates were
thoroughly disgusted.
Mr. Hill's name had been placed be
fore the convention, and every person
In the hall knew his nomination was
to bo seconded by W. Bourke Cockran
of New York. Mr. Cockran's fame as
an orator had preceded ulm. The
crowd wanted to hear him and nobody
else. So did most of the delegates.
Many of the ablest speakers In the
Democratic party were hooted down
without an opportunity to speak two
sentences.
Finally, at 1:15 o'clock In the morn
ing of the next day, Mr. Cockran faced
his audience. The convention had been

midlty was eVen greater than It bad
been In the earlier burs of the session.
Every person In the hall was tired, and
most of them were hungry. A more In
auspicious moment for Mr. Cockran's
effort could not have been selected. He
began slowly, but his voice could be
beard In every part of the hall. The
crowd at once became Interested.
There were several outbursts of ap
plause. Tho Cleveland men were waiting. At
the first mention of his name by the
speaker they evidently Intended to
make Mr. Cockran feel as uncomfort
able as Mr. Depew did when Inter
rupted In his speech at Minneapolis.
Finally the moment came. "Grover
Cleveland," said Mr. Cockran, but that
was all he did say. Led by Don M.
Dickinson of Michigan, the delegates
started the cheering. "Grover, Grover!
Four years more of Grover!" woke up
the crowd. Delegates marched up and
down tho aisles waving the standards
of their states, and twenty-six min
utes elapsed before .the tumult ceased.
Meantime Mr. Cockran stood on the
platform, the least perturbed person
In the hall apparently. He took a
drink of water, chatted with the chair
man and other men on the platform
and watched the proceedings with a
sort of amused smile. When the con
vention became exhausted he resumed:
"Grover Cleveland Is a popular
man"
Again the cheering was taken up,
and this time it coutlnued for eight
; minutes. It was maintained that long
by plainly forced efforts of the Cleve-
'. land leaders. Utterly fagged out, dele
gates and spectators sat down, and
Mr. Cockrau went ou.
' "1 repeat, gentlemen, Grover Cleve
land Is a very popular man every day
In the year except oue, and that is
election day."
Again the speaker was interrupted.
This time laughter was mingled with
the cheers, but Mr. Cleveland was
nominated about 4 o'clock In the morn
ing. New York Post.
Badly Sprained Ankle Cured.
Three years ago our daughter
sprained her ankle and had been suf
fering terribly for two days and
nights had not slept a minute. Mr.
Stallings, of Butler Tenn., told us of
Chamberlain's Pain Balm. We went
to the store that night and got a
bottle of it and bathed her ankle two
or three times and she went to sleep
and had a good night's rest. The
next morning she was much better
and in a short time could walk around
and had no more trouble with her
ankle. E. M. Brumitt, Hampton,
