The full text of the resolutions adopted
Just before adjournment last night re-
garding trade relations with Mexico and
endorsing Mills for vice-prssident is as
follows
Resolved, That we favor the cultivation
of the most friendly relations with our
neighboring republic of Mexico, and of a
free and unrestricted commerce with her
people, and our delegates to the ma.
tional democratic convention be and are
hereby directed to advocate the adoption
by that convention of resolution ex-
pressive of this policy as a part of the
national democratic platform.
Resolved, That this convention heartily
endorse the course of Hon. Roger Q. Mills
as chairman of the ways and means COM
mittee in congress, and that our delegates
to the st. Louis convention are instructed
to vote for him for vice president of the
| United States on the democratic ticket.
During the session of the convention
this morning, the popularity of the yell
of delegate attracted the entire conven-
tion. 1t was so different from any that
had ever before been heard that the author
of it was requested to make his appear
ance on the stage. He declined at first
to do this, but now and then his "yah
whoopo la" could be heard over in
the corner and at last a motion was
made and carried granting him seat on
the stage, which he took amid a perfect
hurricane of cheers.
~ don't know whether he is the man or
not" said voice in the crowd.
"Your credentials are doubted" said the
chairman.
"Yah, whapoo la" yelled the man and
the convention was satisfied as to his
IDENTITY.
"Who are you?" now cried voice, and
the chairman introduced the yelper
as Mr.. Mark Allison, of Dallas county
One delegate wanted to elect him as a
delegate from the United States at large
to the st. Louis convention, and another
wanted to elect him from Greer county
but Allison modestly declined all honors,
and only wanted the privilege of yelling
when he felt like it.

bition. When approached by reporter
