Then Senator Hill advanced to the plat
form. He stood with head bowed Few
minutes, expressive of gratitude for the
cheers that rolled In heavy volume to-
ward him from every part of the hall,
and when finally there was chance
of his voice being heard, he said:
"Mr. President and Gentlemen of the
Convention: Great applause.) While
greatly appreciate the action of the dele
cation from New York, it is proper for
me to say that it is without my approval.
Cries of No, no.) I appreciate these
manifestations of friendliness on the part
of the delegations from other states, but
1 feel that it is my duty to rise here
now and say to you that, for personal
reasons, for good and valid reasons, I
cannot accept this nomination. Great ap-
plause and cries of No, no. and You
have got to take IT'D
81 have not been a candidate. I do not
desire to be candidate, and I must not
be nominated by this convention. Gre
newed applause and cheering, and cries
Of You must, you must.O
There are gentlemen here whose
names have been presented to this con-
vention, any one of which names is
stronger than my own. (CrieS of NO, no.
There is no difficulty whatever in max
ing a satisfactory choice, and ought
not, in justice to them, permit my name
to be used a single moment further, and
this convention should proceed to nom
mate a candidate from some OF those
who have been named. In justice to me,
in justice to them, In justice to the party,
in justice to the ordinary procedure or
this convention, 1t is unfair to me to
place me in the position without my con-
sent" Great applause.)
He was frequently interrupted as he
insisted he could not accept.
From New York came cries of Eyes,

When he said clearly and firmly:
Il do not come into this convention as
a candidate, and I cannot accept the
honor" again came the cries of Eyes,

fore, but this had not the slightest effect.
He left the platform, cheered to the
ecbo and surrounded by his friends, who
pressed forward to grasp his hand.
