Several persons proposed cheers for Watterson, but did not elicit much response. Reading the Platform. When Watterson appeared on the platform to Present the report of the resolutions eommittee, he was cheered from the galleries, Pettitt, the reading clerk of the House of Representatives, the only reader whose voice has been able to fill the Vast hall, read the platform, Watterson, at the conclusion of his speech, beckoned to and brought At the conclusion of the reading of the platform | Dame was cheered. forward Senator Gorman, as a proof that harmony me chair announced that there had been a real and sincere existed, ¥ Mr. Watterson addressed the convention, aughe mistake in the report of the committee on CHEERING SENATOR GORMAN. ‘The meaning was instantly grasped by thé con- Yention, and once more the hall was shaken with the wildest cheering and cries of “Hurrah for Gorman!” came up from every portion of the hall. ‘The reception was very flattering to the Senator. confusion was created for several minutes, and Gorman was compelled to cease speaking by a Tush of people to occupy seats that had been re- served for alternates. By some blunder the door leading to their seats was opened at @ most inop- portune time. ‘YELLING FOR GRAY AND THURMAN. ‘The Gray and Thurman faciions were set to rivalling each other in yelling by a sentence of Tarpie’s speech nominating Thurman. He re- marked: “There ts but one man to nominate,” whereupon the Gray men in the galleries shouted: “Gray!” “Gray!” and began to wave handkerchiefs and banners of gray color. ‘The Thurman men ac- cepted the challenge, and in an instant began to ‘Wave their bandanas and shout: “Thurman.” The rival factions kept up the demonstration for over two minutes. ‘Thurman Men Grow Anxious. Some apprehension has been caused among the Thurman men by Delegate Coe, of Georgia, arising and seconding Gray's nomination, as Georgia had determined to support Thurman. ‘Though twenty- eight delegation banners are flaunting the bandana “Fellow democrats,” he said, “we bring you = platform on which democrats may stand without feeling that they are away from home.
