While the folks within were thus adjusting
the difficulties Of the folks without, the ''noise
and confusion" near the entrance became so
great that the business of the meeting was in
terrupted. The Bentonites tired of standing
on the pavement, where the thermometer was
something less than "a hundred had deter
mined to ego in lemons" though the members
of police stationed near the door, showed very
plainly that they would either get squeezed or
knocked down. To make a long story short,
in they went, with pistols and knives in their
hands, knocking down door keeper and police
men, Gas the Evening Enquirer says,) "con-
summating their outrageous purpose" After
this refreshing exercise, the Benton delegation
gave notice that they would retire, and submit
their claims to the decision of the committee;
which they accordingly did amid the rapturous
applause of the body! A committee was then
appointed to select permanent officers of the
Convention, consisting of one from each State.
The platform" was the next thing to be con-
sidered.
After a spirited discussion the Convention
adopted resolution to appoint Committee
to construct Platform their report to be re
ceived without debate.
