 There was renewed cheering when Mayor Harrison appeared on the plat form, accompanied by Richard Croker. Ons of the most remarkable things hat has ever occurred at a Tammany meet ing occurred now. Some one called for three cheers for Richard Croker. The response was a storm of hseses that swept over the hall Not ch CT was given, and the man who called for them thought he wound try again. In a very loud voice he called for shree cheers for Richard Csoker There was a feeble response this time, but the cheers were drowned by hisslng. Croker heard the expressions of dlsapproval for himself and he r.tn ed to a seat far back on '5he stage.
 Eusts Appeals for Cuba.
 James B. Eustis, former ambassador to Frarca, was the first speaker He did not mention the Chicago question or the Chicago platform. Referring to the campaign of 1900 he said the tariff ques- ton would be an overshadowlng issue, while the Cuban question might reach an acute stage.
 Dealing with the Cuban troubles MT. Eustis continued:
 In J raa demands decisive action upon this Cuban ques- ton. It has always sympathized with an opprs ssed people struggling for their freedom The democratic party knows that our government had its origin in a colonial government and knows how to observe it's treaty obligations and not to violate interna tional laws, but does ask that the sympathy of this governme be on the side of the Cubans and not with Spain. It will repudiate any vacl- lating policy on the Cuban question by this administration. Our navy was not. built to play the role of police officer to the government of Spain. Our forefath- CTS in their struggles for independence welcomed flibustering expeditions to our shores Spain must remember that Americans have erected monuments to the memory of the most illustrious fill busterer that the world has produced. and that his name is venerated at every American fircsidc-I mean Gen. eral Lafayette.
 ''The democratic party agrees with John Sherman when he declared in the senate that we cannot afford to have an Armenia at our very doors, that this cruel, barbarous, devastating war must be stopped and that the Cubans are en- titled to their independence. We call on our government not to be outwitted or fooled by Spanish diplomacy"
