aisle, and raising his hand aloft said:
"Mr. Chairman, II this mob cannot be
silenced, and if New York cannot have a hear
ing in this convention she is ready to leave it.
The excitement which this declaration caused
brought about a temporary calm, and the
chairman, knocking loudly with his gavel, said
he regretted the confusion, but it was not the
delegates, but the occupants of galleries
who were creating the disturbance. This was
followed by cries from all parts Of the conven-
ton to clear the galleries.

been temporarily passed and it was the desire
OF his colleagues that he should say few words
He felt physically unable and asked as favor
an adjournment till 10 o'clock today. This was
met with loud cries of ''No."
Mr.. Cochran said: "Mr. Chairman, il there is
no objection 1 will take the PLATFORM which
he did. Mr.. Cochran said that as that state
was threatened with an invasion his delegation
