Issues were squarely joined and the
delegates settled down to II fight to a
finish, though the main issue was
seriously in doubt. The roll of the
States was called, and one after the
other nominated its favorite son. There
was much oratory and the time for din
ner was passed without adjournment.
The evening wore on and orators We're
sSll Grating. The convention grew
tired, hungry and impatient. At mid
night a heavy thunderstorm broke out.
The noise drowned the voice of the
speakers, while the rain ran in streams
through the leaky roof. All ver the
house umbrellas were raised, while the
lightning, which seemed to flash down
into the center of the ampitleater,
threw a lurid light over the scene. Still
orators were trying to make themselves
heard. Many of them were almost
Missed from the stage. Men like Wat
terson. Pat" Collins of Boston, and
Senator Daniel of Virginia had difficult
ty in getting Il respectful hearing. At
2 o'clock in the morning Cochran arose
to speak on behalf of Tammany. He
was voicing a hopeless cause, and he
knew 1T. He had the competition of u
thunderstorm to meet. His audience
had been in session for eleven consecu-
tive hours. They were half-starved and
almost overcome by sleep. Cochran,
however, held them spellbound and
breathless for nearly an hour. He woke
up the sleepers and made the hungry
forget that they had not eaten. His
speech was a bitter attack on Clevc-
land. When he had finished there was
a wild burst of cheers. after which the
convention Immediately proceeded TO
nominate Cleveland for President.

Those who heard BOurke COckran's
speech at the trust conference in Chi

ut the Democratic convention in 1892.
Perhaps no orator ever made a greater
personal triumph under adverse cir
cumstances and at the same time ac-
complished SO little for his cause. The
Democratic convention met in the tenn
porary wigwam on the lake front. The
professional politicians and the party
leaders were, as a rule. for anybody to
beat Cleveland. The Tammany dele
