attempt on the part of the prominent actors IN

lights back Of the platform kept up a constant
flashing first showing tie name of the Democratic
head Of the ticket. and then showing the name
Of the candidate for Vice-President and then HASH
ing out both of them together The crowd became
impatient at the delay and began TO be hard TO
control so the signal for the band TO play was
given and a medley of popular songs was struck
up When the band reached "Tara-ra Boom-de-

loudly that only the beating Of the bass drummer
could be heard above the noise. 1t was ABOUT III

When Mr. Wilson began his speech there was stlil
much disorder, but the people on the PLATFORM

Three cheers for Cleveland" Mr.. Wilson was
compelled to stop until these were given
Throughout his speech there was considerable DIS
order. The men in the back Of the ball, who
could not hear, insisted upon having ratification
meeting OF thei. own, and between their cheers
not many people could hear word that the chair
