NATIONAL DEMOCRI TIC CONVENTION.
Twelfth Ballot.
The Secretary then called the roll of States on the twelfth ballot,
as follows,
Alabama. — Eight for Pendleton.
Arkansas. — Five for Hendricks.
California. -- One and a half for Hendricks, and one-half for Chase.
At the announcement of the half vote for Salmon P. Chase, prolonged cheering rose from the galleries and hall. As it began to subside, several hisses were heard, which immediately caused a imoie
enthusiastic renewal of the applause, which continued for several
minutes.
Mr. LITTLETON COOKE, of Kentucky, moved that the galleries be
cleared.
A DELEGATE, from Wisconsin. -- Mr. President the galleries are filled with
people, some of whom have come two thousand miles to witness the proceedings
of the Convention. They are good Democrats, and they have a right to
applaud when they please. (Great cheering in the galleries, and to some
extent on the floor.) We depend on these people to elect our ticket, and they
have a righit to cheer for any one. (Cheers.)
Mr. CLARK, of Massachusetts. -- Mr. President, as a member of the Massachusetts delegation, I must coincide with the gentleman who has just spoken.
Those men in the galleries have come, some of them, a great distance to witness our deliberations.
The PRESIDENTprO. tim.- The Chair will state that every effort will be
made by the ushers and the marshals to preserve order The Chair has no
power to suppress cheers, only hissing and bad conduct. The Chair would
suggest to the lobby both below and above, that they endeavor to suppress
these demonstrations when the votes are given. I make it as an earnest
request.
Order being restored, the Secretary stated that, in addition to the
vote of California already announced, that State gave three votes for
Pendleton. (Cheers).
