very short time.
Mr. Buttcrworth: ] have often sympathized
with the audience Laughter ana applause
Mr.. Baync: And feel as II no constraint
should he put upon any gentleman whose
duty Il IL TO nominate candidates for the

from Ohio may himself exercise tho pleasant
duty of making speech In beheli OF some
one OF the candidates, but think that II the
gentlemen desire 20 speak longer than NJ
teen minutes they should be at liberty 10 do
30; and II wonld be rather an unpleasant
thing 10 restrain u speaker when he had
spoken fifteen minutes, or sixteen CT seven
teen minutes, and for the chairman OF tins
convention TO rise aud with one oil these
beautiful gayels which has been presented 10

struck his peroration and was going tn have
produced the great st effort OF his presonta-
