ination of Bsyard. Saltonstalls eloquence
increased the Biyard enthus usm and the
enthusiasm reached its highest pitch when
South Carolina, in the person of her
soldier statesman, raised her voice, too,

to the nominations but the Convention
raised such shout of Hampton!

for Bayard from the applause for
Hampton, but together they made noise
that at times shook the building and led
the crowd outside TO wonder what was
going on.
