But as the time for assembling tho wing national

MIR. Fillmore believed in 1913, as he did Ia 1870,
that Dir. Csy's nomination would prove fatal to orr
hopes Of success. On the other hand, Gen. Taylor

Gliding at that, under oil the circumstances, this

FASTENED back to Constitution Hail. coming out Of
which we met DE-. Footc, Of the Buffalo Adre,tiser,
who was the delegate from that district, with Mr..
CrandGll, then editor of the Niagara Courisr, who
was the delegate from his district. Asking them
what was going on DR. Foote replied that the Con

there Would be no choice. We remarked that, as
Mr. Fillmore Is candidate, 1--WE must put him

then walked off, Mr.. Crandall saying that they would
return in time to vote on the next ballot.
We fastened up stairs and held buried CONVEX

responsible friend OF General Taylor, and had thus

In the opinion that 1t was best TO 80 FOX Mr.. Fill

Hon. I. Butler King, OF Georgia, the Hon. Mr.. Cen
Try, Of Tennessee, Judge Winchester, Of Louisiana,

with US to explain the necessity Of casting the second
vote of their respective States FOR Mr.. Fillmore. They
cid cast their vote, and Mr. Fillmore ncsll-
