dent Harrison. Eliminating entirely
from consideration the state of New

with the vote of Connecticut, West
Virginia and Delaware, without the vote
of Indiana. But having the vote of
Indiana assured, we are not driven to

Six wires were run in, and as many

lowed in except by the rear and with a

Whitney, Secretary of Committee
Sheerin and Committeeman Smalley

and amused themselves by telling stories
during the feverish wait for tidings.
