While he was speaking the Harrison
managers observed Colonel lngersOll
seated on the platform. He was there
In the interests of Walter q. Gresham
Of Indiana, Harrison's most formidable
opponent. Only the preceding day
there had been very impressive full
dinner pail" parade for Gresham by
Chicago workingmen. Here was Il di-
lemma. Every man in the convention
hall knew of Ingersolls skill as an ora
tor. Probably every one of them had
read his famous ''plumed knight
speech in which he placed Blaine in
nomination at Cincinnati In 1876. To
permit him to speak now, even though
he should mention Gresham's name
only incidentally, would be to imperil
Harrison's chances. The Harrison
leaders held II hurried consultation and
dispatched runners to all parts of the
building with instructions to stop In
gersoll at all hazards.
When Douglass concluded there We're
cries of "Ingersollr' "Ingersoll!' De-
liberately the colonel took his place In
front of the rostrum. He was given n
wildly enthusiastic greeting While the
cheering was In progress he stood calm
ly wiping his big bald head awaiting
the restoration of order. The crowd
seemed to feel that something unusual
was about to happen. 1t was an anx-
ious moment for the Harrison cohorts.
Ingersoll surveyed his great audience
slowly and then I'm strong. rich voice,
each word carefully measured. spoke
the two sentences quoted above.
The effect was electric. Seventeen
words had literally swept the audience
Off its feet. Every man and every wo-
man stood up and cheered. There were
three minutes perhaps of genuine ap-
plause. Then when it began to subside
the Harrison claquers would renew the
cheering. These tactics We're continued
for five minutes. Ingersoll attempted
to resume his speech. Immediately his
voice was drowned by the noise, which
proceeded mainly from the floor of the
convention hall. Each time the colo
mel tried to speak the uproar was re-
newed. At last, after at least half a
dozen fruitless attempts to proceed, he
retired In disgust.
A motion to adjourn until 4 o'clock In
the afternoon was declared carried by
the chairman. When the convention
reconvened a cablegram from Blaine
declining the nomination was read, and
Harrison was named.
