CANNOT SAY ONE SINGLE WORD.

Moutelle. of Maine, had been waiting
for chance to speak. He said: "Mr.
President and gentlemen of the conven-

had no rival candidate before this con

numerical strength of our votes, and we
felt tnat we had no right to put our
selves in position which might, even
by implication, seem to indicate the de-
sire of any one save the constituents
who sent us here. How well we have
succeeded it is for the convention to say.
Now. Mr.. President, the solution of this
great question having been satisfactor-

giving assurance, if assurance could be
necessary, of the heartineSs, the cor
