Among those that spoke in support of my candidacy were Messrs.

Theodore Roosevelt, and Geo.
William Curtis, of New York.

When the debate was over the chairman directed that the States be called in alphabetical order,--the roll of delegates from each State to be called, so as to allow each individual delegate to cast his own vote.

When Mississippi was reached, I joined with H.C.Powers, the Blaine member of the delegation, in voting for Clayton.

The result was just about what Mr.Hanna said it would be.
The Blaine men were discouraged and the anti-Blaine men were jubilant.
It was claimed by the latter, and apprehended by the former, that it was indicative of Mr.Blaine's defeat for the nomination.
