the Democratic convention should be a
deliberative body aud not governed by
outside influences. ''If we could,'' he said
''be on exhibition in view of IS, GOO, GOO peo-
pie ana 100000 Of Democrats who will
vote the ticket, well and good, but what
sense IN having $1,000 people who cannot
hear and can hardly see the prolonged pro-

police and the music by the band contrived
20 get the frightened people down. When
quiet was restored, on motion OF Hensel of
Pennsylvania, Collins resolution was re-
ferred to the next National convention
with an affirmative recommendation and
power to act.
