The Memphis appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1886-1890, 1888-06-08

statements OF individuals the impression .
has gone abroad that Mr.. Mcdonald was
at the beginning of this movement in favor
of Mr.. Thurman. That does the distin-
pushed 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
enjoy it as well after the November cleo
ton as they evidently enjoy it today. My
iellow-citizens, ] now withdraw the name
of Mr.. Gray entirely and our gray hand
kerchefs will be found no more on our
housetops, Every lndianian in the city OF
st. Louis will return to his home tonight
with red bandana worn across his breast.
] now move that the nomination of Allan
q. Thurman be made unanimous.
The Chairman-It is moved by Mr., Pat
tcrson, of Colorado, and seconded by Mr.
Shaklin, of Indiana, that Allan G. Thur
man, OF Ohio, be nominated by this con-
vention by reclamation. Those in favor
OF that motion will say aye.
At this point the convention arose en-
masse and shouted for a long, loud and
unanimous aye, The chairman then put
the other side of the question but there
were none left to vote.
The Chairman-The chairman OF this
convention declares Allen Il. Thurman, Of
Ohio, TO be the unanimous choice OF this
convention for the Office of Nice-President
Of the United States. Loud and pro-
longed cheering and cries.
