The Platform Read.
Immediately after the prayer, upon
the motion Of Senator Fulton Of Ore
gon. Gen George II. Williams. the last
surviving member OF General Grants
Cabinet. was given seat upon the
speakers platform.
Senator Hopkins Of Illinois, chairman
OF the committee on resolutions, then
took the s-age and read the draft or
the platform as agreed upon by the
committee early this morning. His voice
was not equal TO tae size Of the hall
and the buzz OF the heated. restless
throng. and, for a time. he was inter-
rupted by calls of louder"
His first mention Of President ROOse-
Welt almost escaped the crowd, and he
had spoken a couple OF dozen words
before the name got around. Then
there was a vociferous. if somewhat
delinquent cheer.
After Senator Hopkins had proceeded
for twenty minutes with the reading OF
the platform he was fairly drowned out
BY the noise in the galleries and on the
fiOor. Few were paying any attention

ator reached the paragraph suggesting
q clearer definition OF the rules OF the

and Go on, and for q few seconds
there was a scattering stamping OF
feet and clapping Of hands.
Minority Objections.
Following the conclusion or the read
ing by. Senator Hopkins, Representa-
tive Cooper of Wisconsin presented on
behalf OF the minority a report protest
ing against certain sections Of the
platform as framed up by the commit
tees and offering sub-planks. On the
railroad question the sub-plank offered
by the minority says:

PLATFORM ADOPTED UNANIMOUSLY.

To this Senator Hopkins replied:
"Its for the convention to say
whether it will accept the report of
the committee or take the socialis-
tic utteranees Of Wisconsin as the
platform"
On the vote on COoper's platform
Wisconsin demanded a roll call.
This demand was seconded by
South Dakota. The roll was then
called. The vote on the acceptance
.of Cooper's platform was: Ayes
2S; noes, $50.
Wisconsin then seconded Indiana's
motion that only COoper's plan for
campaign contribution publicity be
incorporated in the majority report
This roll call resulted: Ayes, "a;
noes, $50.
Even affirmative vote on this
proposition drew applause from the
galleries.
The majority report was finally
adopted by a viva voce vote' and
made unanimous.
At I:49 o'clock the chairman de-
elared that nominations for the
Presidency were in order. Repre-
sentative Boutell was recognized
and placed Speaker Cannon's name
before the convention.
Heat Oppresses Delegates.
When the hour for the opening the
,I,ir5 dav's session OF the convention
arrived. Permanent Chairman Lodge
declined TO make any concession TO the
lheat. and ascenGed the stage wearing
/ his usual weII-taiIored black broad
/ cloth coat. pearl waistcoat, and high
stiff collar.

among the delegates and spectators.

not to be gratified, for apparently no
attempt had been made by any Of the
factions over night to add anything to

Republican party TO restrain the NOM

Wabash avenue is the main artery TO
the convention hall. Probably 80 per

sign.
The most eloquent prayer Of the ses-
