'sWith the rich heritage of his memory
in this fight for the liberties of the people I
move the adoption of these resolutions.
The ovation which greeted the mention
of Abbett's name was tremendous. Begin
ming in ripple of cheers and hand-clapp-

convention mighty wave, and carried it
off its feet for the second time during the
day Wave followed wave in rapid success
sion Beginning with the delegates sitting
the enthusiasm drove them to their feet,
and with the thousand delegates standing,
the cheers were continued, hats and canes
were swung, handkerchiefs were waved and
each seemed striving to outdo his fellows
in giving honor to the dead leader.
The platform was adopted as read with
out dissenting vote.
