The Harrison people gave one wild
hysterical cheer of exultation and APP
proval, but there were cries of "NoI
nop' and "the roll CALL" from Blaine
and Mckinley delegates in various
parts of the hall. An enthusiastic
Blaine man made point of order that
the motion of Mckinley was not in

"you can suspend any rule you got
by two-third majority, and let's do,

manifestation of their cup of Joy over

fused to yield to the persuasive in

Mckinley and Reed, not exactly

again mounted the platform and beck

to record their votes, and under
stand they desire to record their votes
in the direction of my motion. Gap
