The little fellows had an inning today,
and the five or six hundred delegates who
remained to complete the work of the
convention were harrangued from 9

night without .ntermission, except for an

there was a strong fight In some cases
more than one ballot was necessary, but
the required votes were always in readi-
ness when the time came to swing them.
