ballot. Thnrmsn's name would have ben
brought to the front, and he would have
been been the lucky man.
oHIo's PART.
But Ohio had part in the movement also.
The Ohio delegation bad come here instruct
ed to vote for William Allen. This they did
on both ballots, | ut there was no effort by
the delegation TO work up bis chances. There
" az a painful lack Of zeal in his cause, and
number Of he delegates did not hesitate 10
say that their preference went toward other
candidates An ambassador from Mr. Hutch
It's had had an interview with the delegation
the nigh, before, and 1t was agreed with him
that after the second ballot If no one was
nominated they were 10 present the name Of
Mr. Thurman. General S'erdman asked the
privilege OF doing this service, and TO him
the office was Delegated. Even at the end of
the first ballot some of them undertook TO
withdraw for the purpose of bringing him
out, but the majority refused to go, The de-
vo,ion Of Ohio Ia her candidate Was no, sni.tii-
c!ent 10 challenge an admiring world. Had the
convention reached third ballot they would
have pnt Thurman In nomination aud wGuli

THE PRESIDING OFFICERS.
The only evidence Of rrrpidarIon on the
part Of the Tiden men during the whole
time was in their management Of the presid
Ing ofi;-rs Of the convention. They evi-
IDENTIFY were afraid 10 trust Them. When
Henry Wa'erson took the chair as It's tenn
porary presiding ofii'er, he WAS instantly
surrounded by half a doz delegates and
parliamentary expert. They made his
rulings. for him, aad told him WHEN TO urge
On the business, whea 10 hold back. He
WAS kept in the leading Strings as closely as
if lie were skitti-h youug colt liable 10 kick
out Of the trace any mo;ueut. I, was the
same way VIXEN General AcCiernand became
the permanent chairman. He was quite a.
closely watched, and quite as closely posted
IN bis duties d. his predecessor had been. Ia
his case it sermei t. be iDexcusabl-. because
he Has known TO To tr'"ud OF TIlden, and
was, besides, an old Tnetnber of Con Tess, and
presumably we'll up in parliamentary tao icS.
Their play, otherwise 50 bold, Was iu this re-
-pccJ wuyerIug. They lacked the cUuhdsnce
they bad night to enjoy.
