There was a misunderstanding as to
the total number of votes in the con-
vention and too many votes were cast
in this ballot But no one having re-
ceived a majority anyhow, another
ballot was ordered.
While the tellers were counting this
vote the report of the committee on
platform was called for and when
Fisher 6 Harris, the chairman, stepped
forward he was loudly cheered. The
plank on the silver issue called out the
greatest applause of the convention
and at the close the platform was
adopted with much enthusiasm.
The resolution in behalf of the CAL
weston sufferers struck a popular cord
and when Judge NorreH moved that it
be adopted by a rising vote every dele
gate in the house sprang to his feet.
The resolution was as follows;

1--WE, your committee on platform
and resolutions, recommend that this
convention extend to the citizens of
Galveston. Tex, our sympathy in the

we further recommend that a commit
tee of five be appointed by the chair to
take no "a collection in this convention
for these sufferers, the amount COL
lected to be forwarded by the chair
man to the mayor of the City, of Gal
weston"
Chairman Powers appointed Fisher
s. Harris Judge Norrell. Alfales Young,
Moses Thatcher and NJ. L. MulVey TO
take up the collection as provided for
in the resolution. Judge NorrelI said
that a woman could always beat a man
when it came to collecting money for
a good purpose. He. therefore. resign
ed in favor OF a lady. and Mrs. Joseph
NJ. Cohen was named in his place
Some one stated that Mrs. Cohen was
at home sick in bed, but it was dis
covered that she was already on the
stage SOHClIlUS contributions. ana the
chairman brought down the house by
stating that the Democratic women
were not home iii bed in this cam
paign.
The third ballot for commissioner was
ordered but before the beginning of the
roll call w. J. Sloan withdrew the name
of Max Beaver in favor of the man
who will be the strongest on the Dem
ocratic ticket, but failed to name the
gentleman. Alvin Butler withdrew in
favor of Miller and the voting began
1t was watched even closer than the
preceding ballot and when it was seen
that the fight was between Miller and
Horne every good vote for either was
applaude6 by their friends. This vote
resulted as follows:
w. j. Horne. 800.
o. p. Miller, 17S.
Nicholl Hood, So.
