seen during the convention. California

Click and seconded Hendricks, Colorado
withdrew Mcdonald and seconded
Hendricks, Georgia withdrew Black and
seconded Hendricks, and New York asked
for q call Of the roll, as they bel eyed
that every delegate favored the nomina-

was commenced, all votes being for
Hendricks until Indiana vas reached,
when that state asked TO bs passed, as
under the present circumstances II was
NOT authorized to vote. The roll call
resulted in the unanimous vote for
Hendricks, with the exception of one vote
in Mississippi, which went for Mcdonald
and the Indiana deleg alton which did not
vote.

vote for Hendricks and Mississippi
changed her one vote from Mcdonald.

In the solemn hymn Of praiEe. This was

Sweet Home"
