ing name.

Ten thousand people sweltering in psrallelo-

up for Voorhees, 20 respond but he did not do so.
Illinois offered brief Endorsement. Michigan was
called and Byron Stout began eulogy OF Cleve-
land, He went over the same ground rs covered
in the previous speeches, and amid growing
impatience, which broke into noise, his words
were lost. Stout's speech being howled
down by cries of -Time" he stopped amid
great cheers. Loud calls for Senator Vest
