Douglass had not entered the hall, but
paced the floor nervously just outside the
door, awaiting, the ,tardy summons to the
Presidents chair, and probably feeling that
his race was mons. too Just towards him.
After nearly four hours of hot wrangling
Fred Douglass, was brought fintoi the hall
amid the widest enthusiasm of his friends
and went upon the stand. The old man
was trembling with excitement, and if he
had talked his words would have been hot
ones. His presence resulted, at eheehd of
four hours, in his election to the permanent.
