He displayed to the court a series of bruises on his shins, which he said, Miss Wilson had placed there—and the crowd laugh- ed. “She kicked down the door and moved in her trunk,” he said, in referring to the apartment where the assault is alleged to ,have taken place.

They decided not to formally place the name of their leader before the convention but to cast their ballots for him, from the floor. Dr. Burton, a tall, striking figure, stepped briskly to the front of the platform and calmly surveyed the great audience, waiting for the ap- plause and cheers to die, ‘so that he could begin his speech. “Fellow citizens of America, the greatest country the world has ever’ seon,” he began, while the hall rock- ed with cheering. Dr. Burton spoke clearly and rapidly.
