didate and we do not want to have Michigan
ramming their candidate down our Threats
| Then a Michigan delegate poured oil on the
| troubled waters by saying This man was told
| not to raise the banner and he had no right to
go over in New York's delegation in any
event." and the conflict which threatened
blows came to an end.
One inconsiderate delegate hoisted bandana
Others had umbrellas and canes in tho air, hats
4 and handkerchiefs. The cheering continued in
termittently for ten minutes The chairman
succeeded in pounding order with his gavel and
4 Gov. Albeit went on. Almost the next sen.
tence was: mot only viii he receive the sup
port OF every democrat in the land" There
were cries Of mo" and counter cries Of Yes"
/ from all over the hail.
Stopping moment the governor repeated:
II said every democrat" laying stroag en-
phasis on the word democrat" The point
brought down the house.
AT another point where the governor paused
| some one cried: Give us n democrat" but It
| did not provoke demonstration When Gov.
Albeit came to the review of the modern hero
/ and OF the democracy he was cheered in mod
Grafton from Russell to Boies. but when
David HIS name was mentioned Tam
many and the New York delegation led a
| demonstration second only to that which the
Cleveland mon had made. Mounting their
chairs, the New Workers led cheering array
| which found recruits momentarily in every
| part OF the hall. Twice. thrice, the New York
men sat down. but each time the cheering
started anew, and again and again the friends
and admirers of the New Yorkers arose to their
| feet. Amos Cummings waved a fan around his
head. Jolly District Attorney RidReway's
round face shone with excitement, and Gen.

and waved &c above his head A delegate
rushed to the platform ami hold another pic

| in the galleries. Ohio. Mississippi and half
| dozen other states joined in the demonstration
| and made it continuous and noisy bearded
| delegate with brown hat on his head stood on
| chair and waved Cleveland picture in the
| face of the New Workers.
1t was like tho traditional red rag to the mad
| bull. 1t provoked another outbreak even moro
enthusiastic than the one preceding tia dem
| onstraton that brought even Boss" Croker to
| his feet. Again the chairman tried to bring
| the convention to order, and again he failed.
| Every blow of his gsvel was ans&ered with in
creased cheering and stamping ~ feet. Gov.
Albeit stood in front OF the chairfnan's desk,
| looking on smilingly over the hall.
The demonstration had continued seventeen
minutes when Edward Murphy waved the New
Workers to their seats The CALLER les werc not
quieted SO easily. Three cheers were given for
