Thos, Patterson of Colorado then arose
and said:
Mr.. Chairman, on behalf of the friends
of Gen. John g. Black of Illinois, and
other states, | am requested to formally
withdraw his name and move that the
nomination of Allen G. Thurman for vice
president be made unanimous. Loud
cheers.
Chairman-The vote of Colorado will
first be changed, as requested by the
chairman of that delegation, from Black
to Thurman.
Delegate from 0hio-The state of Ohio
is entitled to forty-six votes, and she
wishes to cast her vote solid for Allen G.
Thurman.
Chairman-The secretary will record
the vote.
Secretary-The state of Ohio casts for
ty six votes for Allen G. Thurman.
Shanklin of Indiana-Mr. Chairman
and gentlemen of the convention. L shall
not add one drop to the flood of perpira-
ton by attempting to start another food
of eloquence. Laughter. | arise for
the purpose of withdrawing the name of
Isaac p. Gray and of moving that the
nomination of iAllan G.. Thurman of
Ohio, be made unanimous. Loud
cheers, We brought our candidate to
this convention in good faith, believing it
was for the interests of the party that he
should be nominated, but this gathering,
composed of ability and intelligence of the
great Democratic party of the nation, has
settled upon another choice, and we bow
to that choice Lcheers and | promise you
that as partisans of Gray yesterday we
are now from this time forward the apps
ties Of Thurman and Cleveland. GTu-
multuous applause. | make this state
ment on behalf of the delegation from
Indiana. but there is one impression that
has gained ground during the last few
days which | wish to take this occasion to
correct.
In the public prints and from the state
ments of individuals, ar impression has
gone abroad that Mcdonald was at the
beginning of this movement in favor OF
Thurman. That does the distinguished
citizen of Indiana great injustice. He
had nothing to do with the starting of
this boom for Thurman. 1t came from
the Pacific coast, and | hope they will en-
joy it as well after the November elections
as they evidently enjoy it to-day. My
fellow citizens, | now withdraw the name
OF MIR, Gray entirely, and our gray hand
kerchiefs shall be found no more ON our
house tops. Every Indianian in the CITY
of st, Louis will return to his home to-
night with n red bandana worn across his
breast. | now move that the nomination
of Allen G. Thurman be made unani-
nous.
Chairman-It is moved by Mr.. Patter-
son Of Colorado and seconded by Mr..
Shanklin OF Indiana that Allen G. Thur
mar be nominated by this convention by
acclamation. Those in favor Of that mo.
ton will say aye.
At this point the convention rose en-
masse and shouted forth a long. loud and
unanimous aye.
The chair then put the other side of the
question, but there were mont LETT to vote.
The chairman OF this convention de-
clares Allen G.. Thurman of Ohio to be

Tor the office of vice president of the
United States. Loud applause and
cheering.

ocracy of the Union has lost one of its
