these circu instances Secretary Reed
Jumped to his feet and called for the
vote, which il had been agreed by
motion should be made by acclama-
ton The ayes went through with a
bound and as there were no nays, the
nomination stood confirmed lr.
Crawford, in his genial way, thanked
the convention and pointed out the

the delegates that he was a good
democrat, but was not a candidate
