[735] Wheeler's name was presented by Luke P. Poland of Vermont, and seconded by S.H. Russell of Texas, and Henry R. James of New York (Ogdensburg). Thomas C. Platt presented Woodford.

"Wheeler very much disliked Roscoe Conkling and all his ways. Conkling once said to him: 'If you will join us and act with us, there is nothing in the gift of the State of New York to which you may not reasonably aspire.' To which Wheeler replied: 'Mr. Conkling, there is nothing in the gift of the State which will compensate me for the forfeiture of my own self-respect.'"—Hoar, Autobiography, Vol. 1, p. 243.

[736] "It was not to the credit of the New York delegation that Wheeler was obliged to look to other States for his presentation and support."—Utica Herald, June 17.

[737] With fifteen States and Territories to be called, the vote stood as follows: Wheeler, 366; all others, 245.
