The report was adopted amid cheers and with but one dissenting voice. The committee on permanent organ ization reported for permanent chairman Lester B. Faulkner, who was chosen and con ducted to the chair. Roger A. Pryor, chair man of the committee on resolutions, report ed the platform unanimously agreed upon by the committes which he proceeded to read. MT. Pryor moved the adoption of the plat form and said if the Democrats could agree upon principles they would succeed and for himself, he was willing to sacrifice anything but honor in order to do so. Nelson J. Waterbury moved the previous question. John Kelly was at the same moment on his feet demanding re- cognition, which he gained, and said if MT. Waterbury knew what he (Kelly) was about to say he would not move the previous ques tion. He said he had no favors to ask of Mr. Waterbury, but he had something of in terest to the whole State He then expressed indorsement of the platform, but pointed out the evils of land grants to great corpora tions, and hoped that the platform would again be returned to the committee on reso. lution for amendment.
