less manner say some things that would do Us
more harm than good. He was kept quiet until

member of the delegation had promised TO sup
port Gray, and We were about leaving when
Smith got a chair and began making q speech.
About the first thing he said was: we can't
conduct q campaign in Indiana like you
do in Tennessee. We have got to have a
man who can command votes. In your State

remark that the latter part of his assertion was
not true. and all the delegates backed him up

not vote for Gray. The Indiana delegation re-
