teen hours he had fought a battle
with the committee on resolutions and
had won. He had almost reached the
limit of his physical endurance. AT

proved the nomination of Hearst, de-
clared that Olney or Wall or Pattlson
would be also acceptable, and then
threw a thunderbolt into ~the conyen-
ton by the words, 81 come, however,
to second the nomination of Senator
CoclTell of Missouri"
