The third and closing day of the national Democrats convention openod up with the most torrid temperature of tbe week. The sun wan en the rampage and Ha red het rajs poured In through the glass reef of the exposition with a vigor that boded something mere than discomfort te these who were about te participate In the proceedings of the day. Outside of the hall tbe scenes were hardly as exciting aB en tbe previous day, although there was no lack of m.U and bustle. Be far, however, as the visitors were con cerned the interest was maintained at tbe highest pitch, and from tbe opening et the doers at bait-past eight there was a steady inflow et holders of complimentary tickets. Befere another hour had passed the boxes, balconies and galleries were a solid mass of men and women. The women were out lu even (creator ferce than en any et the preceding days, and from the stage half way down the hall tbe boxes en eltber aide" presented au unbroken line of brilliant costumes and equally attractive specimens of the mllllneru art. HUH tbe orewd kept pouting In, and for half an hour before the lime appointed for the delegates te reas reas semble there did net appear te be a vacant feet of space in tbe ipectaters' quarters, and the upper portions and rear of the great ball were a sea of expectant laces and wav ing fane, whllojhe clatter of ten thousand tongues rose and fell llke the rear et the arf. The delegatca wero prompt in assem bling. Mayer A. A. Ames, of Minneapo lis, stalked in solitary and nipjostle te as sist in conferring upon the Old Keicua an honor whleh np te a few days age be bad hoped might Btrlke In his own direction. Tee Missouri delegation entered in a body fifteen minutes ahead of time, and the Ohleans followed clese at their heels. As seen 89 they bail taken their .cats they heisted tbe red bandanna en the top of their banner and tbe throng above gave the Urst cheer of the mernlnp. Then In turn Michigan, Wisconsin, Virginia, West Virginia, Oregon, California and Pennsylvania followed suit, and each were recognized with a shout and a cheer. Missouri was Blew In putting up the red emblem, but when It dually did se, there was a storm of eheers and a waving of handkerchiefs In all portions et the hall. This encouraged Malno and Illinois and they, tee, felt Inte line. Meanwhile a geed many of tbe delegate? had diverted them selves of coats and vests and lu seme In stances of neckties and cellars and were plying their fans with all the vigor that remained in them, uenry Watterson was among tbe iirst of tbe distinguished visitors te arrlve and probably interpreting the cheers which were lavished upon htm as a cordial recog nition of his let night's vlotery, he smiled and bowed te the right and left. Daniel Dougherty and Jehn K. Fellows oame down tbe aisle arm In arm and their receg nitien was enthusiastic. The urst act el tbe Indiana delegation was te heist a gray bat with streamers en tbe same color. The audience greeted their favorites as they atrolled in, with burns of applause and It was evident that se far as tbe day could be made mere entbUBlastle and Inspiring than ether days by the efforts of tbe audience, they intended te contribute te that end in dustriously and with sincerity. Upen the convention being called te order at 1025, prayer was offered by Rev. Dr. flrank. The chair announced that tbe committee en resolutions was ready te report, and Chairman Cellins said : " 1 present Mr. Watteraen, of Kentucky. " The Kentucky editor took his rlaeeat the right et the chairman, waved his hand and said : ' These resolutions have been agreed upon unanimously. " He was lustily cheered as he bad been by the simple announcement of his name. Clerk Pettlt, in a volce that everybody could bear, read the platform Interrupted new and thou by respectful but Irrepressible applause. The platform Is as fellows : ' TUtTl'r.J.rFOR-1. Jt It Adopted Uoaulineuily Keatilriuatlen or tbat of 188 and Kednrwnieut el tbe l'rMlil.t Tariff 1U- firu Vie. Tbe Democratic party el the United States 4n national convention aastmbusd, renews the iledge of lit fidelity te Dtmocratle tajth nd reefi-raea the platform adopted by Its representative la tbe convention of lgSI and endorsee the views expressed by Preel dent Clevetaad in hie last annual message te Congress as the correct Interpretation of that platform upon the question et tariff re duction ; end also endorses the c Aorta of enr Democratic Representatives In Congress te secure s reduotlen of excessive taxation. Chief among Its principles of party faith arethe maintenance of an Indissoluble union et free and Indestructible elates new about te enter upon its second oenturyef unex ampled progress and renown ; devotion te a plan of government regulated by a writ ten constitution strictly specifying every granted power and expressly reserving te tbe states or people the entire nngranted residue of power j the encouragement of a Jealous popular vigilance, directed te all who have been chosen for brief terms te enact and execute the laws and are charged with tbe dutv of preserving peace, ensuring equality and establishing Justice. The Democratic party welcome any exaeting scrutiny of tbe administration or the ex ecutive pewer which four years age was committed te their trust in the election of Grevor Cleveland, preslnent of the United States, and It challenges the meat searching Inquiry concerning its fidelity and devo tion te the nledeea which then invited the suffrages of the people. During a meat criti cal period of our financial affairs resulting from orertaxatlon. the anomalous condi tion et our curreney and a publle debt un matured, It has by tbe adoption of a wlee and conservative course net only averted disaster, but greatly promoted the pros perity of the people. It has reversed the Improvident and un wise polley of the Republican party touch ing the publle domain, and has reclaimed from corporations and syndicates alien and domestic and restored te the people nearly one hundred millions acres et valuable land te be sacredly held as homesteads ter our citizens. While carefully guarding the Interest of tbe taxpayers and conforming strictly te the principles et Justice and equity it has paid out mere for pensions and beuntlru te the soldiers Bnd sailors of the republic, than was ever paid befere during an equal period. REVIVING TIIK NAVr. By intelligent management and a Judlo Judle Judlo leus and economical expenditure of the publle money, It has set en feet the recon struction of the Amerlcan navy upon a sys tem wmen lermus me recurrence or scan dal and Insures successful result. It has adopted and consistently pursued a firm and prudent foreign policy preserv ing peace with all nations, whlle "scrupu lously maintaining the rights and Interests of our government and peeple at home and abroad. Tbe exclusion from our shores et Chinese laborers has been effectually se cured under the previsions et a treaty the operation of which baa been postponed by tbe action of a Republican majority in the Senate. Honest reform In the civil service has been Inaugurated and maintained by Presi dent Cleveland and he has brought tbe publle service te tbe highest standard of efficiency, net only by rule and precept, b ut by tbe example et his own untiring and unselfish administration of publle affaire. In every braneh and department of tbe government under Democratic control, tbe rights and welfare of all tbe people have been guarded and defended ; every publle interest has been protected, and tbe equality et all our citizens before the law without re gard te ia.oer color has been steadily main tained. Upen its record thus exhibited, and upon a pledge or a continuance te the people of the benefits of geed government, the na tional Democraey Invokes a renewal et popular trust by the re-election of a cblef magistrate, who hag been faithful, able and prudent They Invoke In addition te that trust by the transfer te the Democracy of tbe entire legislative power. HEFORM IN TAXATION. The Republican party controlling tbe Senate and resisting in both Houses or Cen gress a reformation of unjust and unequal tax laws, which have outlasted the necessi ties of war, and are new undermining the abundance et a long peace, deny te tbe poeplo equality before tbe law and tbe fair ness and the Justice which are their right. Thus the cry et American labor for a better Bbare of the rewards of Industry Is stilled with false pretenses, enterprise Is fettered and bound down te borne markets, capital Is disturbed with doubt and unequal, un just laws can neither be properly amended nor repeaieu. Tbe Democratic party will contlnue with all tbe pewer confided te It te struggle te reform these laws In accordance with the C ledges of its last platform endorsed at the allot box by tbe suffrages of the people. Of tbe industrious freemen et our land an Immense majority, including every tiller of the soil, gain no advantage from exces sive tax laws ; but the price of nearly every thing tbey buy is increased by tbe favorit ism of an unequal system of tax legislation. All unnecessary taxation is unjust taxa tion. It is repugnant te tbe creed et De De De mocreoy that by isuch taxation the cost of necessaries et life should be unjustly In creased te all our people. Judged by Dem ocratic principles, the interests of the peo ple are betrayed when by unnecessary taxa tion, trusts and combinations are permitted and festered which will unduly enrich tbe few that oemblno te rob our eltlzens by de priving them of the benefit of natural com petition. Kvery Democratic rule of gov ernmental action Is violated when, through unnecessary taxation, a vast sum of money far beyond tbe needa et an economical ad ministration is drawn from tbe people and tbe channela of trade, and accumulated aa a demoralizing surplus la the national treasury. OPPOSED TO USELESS TAXATION. 'The money new lying Idle In tbe federal treasury resulting from superfluous taxation amounts te mero than $125,000,000 and the surplus collected 'la reaching tbe Bum et mere than I CO, 000, 000 annually. Debauched by this lmmonae temptation tbe remedy of tbe Republican party Is te meet and ex haust It by extravagant taxation. The Demoeratlo remedy is te onferco fru gality In publle expenditures, and abolish unnecessary taxation. Our estab lished domestic Industrie and onterprlses should net and need net be oudangerod by a reduction and correction of tbe burdeua of taxation. On the contrary, a fair and careful revision el our tax laws, with due allowance for the difference between the wages of American and foreign labor, must permit and enceurage every branch or Industry and onterpnse by giving them assurance of an extended market and steidy end continuous operation in tbe Interest of Amerlcan labor, which Bheuld in no event be neglected. The re vision of our tax laws contemplated by the Democratic party is te promote tbe advan tage of sueh labor by cheapening tbe coat et tbe necessarlea of life In the home .t every workingman, and at the eame time secur ing te him steady and remunerative em pleyment. Upen this question of tariff reform, se closely concerning every phase or our national Ufe and upon every quostlen In volved In thetproblem of geed govern ment, the Democratic party submits lis principles and professions te the Intelligent suffrages et tbe American people AUOl'TKU UNANIMOUSLY. Iteming Cheers Fellow ihe Acceptance or tbe Declaration of tbe Party's t'rlnrlples. Cel. Henry Watteraen Bpoke for a few minutes In a most telling and deliberate manner. Every sentence he uttered seemed te be tbe signal for renewed applause. He aald tbat here was a platform upon which Democrats could stand without feeling that tbey were away from home. (Cheera ) It was a declaration or principles te which Democrats could subsenbe without looking around the corner. (Cheera.) It embodied a statement or facts incontrovertible. It delecallred the course of rererm and gave it a language which might be spoken alike in New Jersey and Iowa, in Massachusetts and in Texas, Its face was set In the right direction, and its eyes looked upan tbe ris ing and net the totting sun. Mr. Watteraen coneluded amid great ap plause and Introduced Senater German, who was heartily received. He tald that four years ego at Chicago tbe Democratic party In Its declaration of principles prom, lsed that If Intrusted with power tbat ex travagance In expenditures should be re duced, that economy should prevail, that the war taxet should b zadueed, and that n that reduotlen the capital Invested In enterprises (Here the senator was Inter rupted by a commotion In the body of the hall. Nearly everybody get en bis feetand ter a few mementa there was great disorder. Somebody shouted " tight 1" and the peo ple behind began te surge te the front. Then a man In tbe gallery shouted " Are I" and the ladles In the boxes sprang te their feet In alarm. Fortunately at this moment the president bad preseno.ef mind enough e touch the electric bell en his desk and tbe band ttruck np a lively tuna This al layed tbe exeltemenf, which bad been caused by a man In the visitors' section striking another for stepping en his tees, and In a few moments tbe cenvcntlgn was onee mere at ease. ) (Senater German, continuing, aald that all the pledges made In the Chicago plat form bad been earrled out. When Senater German had oeneluded, Ccl. Watteraen moved the adoption of the report, and upon this moved tbe previous question. It was ordered and tbe platform was unanimously adopted with reusing eheers. Then Mr, Watteraen announced that tbe committee bad approved and requested tbe passage without discussion et three resoln - reseln - tlens. The first was read by Hen. W. L. Scott, and demanded the immediate pas pas sage et the bill new pending m the Heuse of Representatives ter th3 reduction of the revenue. Cheer alter eheer esma from tbe audi ence and they were renewed when the res res res olutlen was unanimously adopted. After this, Hen. F. H. Lehman, of Iowa, received an ovation when he mounted the platform te submit a resolution declaring that tbe territories of Dakota, Washington, Mentana and New Mexico were entitled te admission te the Union as states, condemn ing the aotlen of the party In excluding them. Thla resolution also went through with enthusiasm. Oev.Abbett next mounted tbe steps of the platform, and after the applause which greeted his appearance had subsided, he read the resolution of sympathy with tbe Irish. Leng continued applause wai given tbe names et Parr ell and Gladstone, and the reference te Heme Rule, and the resolution j was quickly passed. from his seat en tbe fleer, O. W. Raker, of Ohie, secured unanimous consent for the reading of a resolution or respect te the memory of ex-Vice President Uendrleks, paying trlbule te his statesmanship, patri otism and fidelity, and tendering te bis widow the affectionate respect and sym pathy of tbe Demoercy of tbe United States-. The resolution was adepted by a rising vote and when the delegales wero seated, tbe chair announced that there was a slight mistake In the statement that the oommlt eommlt oemmlt too en platform was unanimous in Its agree ment. Mr. Cooper, of New Yerk, he said objected te a part of it. A murmer of sur prise went through the ball at this state ment And new the convention began te get down te the most Important business of the day. A motion wan made by Llent Governer Whlte, et California, that the roll should be called for the nomination cf candidates for tbe vloe presidency. It was se ordered, and tbe clerk lest no time In getting te work. There waa no response te the call until California waa reached. There was a pause followed by alight oheer eheer ing as Senater Tarpey left his delegation and ster ped upon tbe platform. M. P. TARl'KV'8 8PKK0II. Hen Allen a. Tbnrman. Named Fer Vice l'resldent by tbe Calllernlan. He said : Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen: This is a proud and pleasant duty whleh through tbe kindness et my friends I have been chesen te perform and 1 am truly graleful te my as&oelstcs who have se honored me. I fear tbat it was kindness nlone and net ability tbat prompted my selection from among thu many eloquent gentlemen who are members of tbe Callfernlan delegation. But, sirs, what I lack in oratorical ability I, In seme small measure, compensate for in my enthusiasm in the undertaking and, feeling as 1 de tbat the meat eloquent must fall short of doleg full Justice te tbe gentle man whom 1 am here te nominate, 1 have accepted the trust with the mental reser vation tbat If nothing else 1 am at least earnest In what I say and filled with ad miration for him of whom 1 speak. That I am proud or tbe privilege or ad dressing yen I acknowledge, but tbat I am prouder stilt et tbe man whom I shall name 1 will net deny, for I feel, airs, that this republle holds no superior te tbe Hen, Allen G. Tburman, of Ohie. Tbe greeting accorded his name la a well-deserved tri. bute. Its spontaneity has been nobly earned. Be assured sueh a grcetlng will be accorded his name at lta every mentle throughout this republic, from sea te sea, and from tbe British line te tbe gulf. Allen G. Thurman I What an epitome of American civil hlatery Is embodied In tbat name ; hla character and ability are known te every man, woman and child In the land. Hla public record will be a mere endurlcc monument te his fame than temples et stone or brass, ter history will Inscribe his name among the list of America's Illustrious eons. Taking his seat in the United States Senate In ISG'J tbe Imprint or his genius Is found firmly lui bedded in the legislation et the country. Frem his first appearance lu the Senate until bis retirement lrem tbat body his voice was always raised in behalf et the people and In defense et their rights. A CLEAN l'UULIO RECORD. Fer forty years be has been a premt nent figure in publle lire and yet te-day no man ean point te one slngle actor exprca exprca sien of his which docs net de blm credl', Large of hearf, large of brain and larger still in experlence be is the man of men whose record Justiliea bis nomination at at your lianua lu the Bonse that he cannot be defeated before the people. A man of benevolent heart, manifesting It sell net only In private life but also as tbe leading feature of hla official caroer. When the Paclfie coast was endeavoring te retard Chlnese Immigration, when It had decided that national legislation was necessary le accomplish the desired result, when the merits of tbe fiiibect wero net understood cast or tbe Recky Mountains, Allen G. Tburman, then a senator et tbe United Statex, was the first te raise bis voice In defense of theso whose means of living were endangered and whose homes were threatened with destruction. When the great railroad corporations ovldenced an Intention te evade payment et their obligations te the government, this great man prepared that remarkable enact ment known as theTnurman bill, by which the offending cotperatlons were obliged te provide a aiuklng fund for the redemption or their premisee. During the trying limes of reconstruction M r. Thurman was the cec tral figure in the United States Senate In upholding the dignity and the Integrity or tbe constitution. Tbe waves et party pas. alen lashed Inte fury by ill-advised zealous partisans broke harmless upon bis leonine front and Bottled back Inte calm ness by the force of bis logle and tbe power of his oratory ; a ripe scholar, bis disquisi tiens upon constitutional laws are master pieces of reasoning and eloquence, chal lenging tbe admiration of even his political opponents. Four years since tbe California delegation put forward Mr. Thurman as their candidate for the presidency and were entbuslastle In pushing his nomina tion ; butfeur years have but augmented their reverence and afloctlen for him ; the patriot of Columbus cannot be allowed te wither In retirement. THE PEOPLE WILL ELECT HIM. His fame la net bit alone ; It is the proud heritage et the Amerlcan people. Ills name may be most fittingly coupled with that et our honored president, Grever Cieveland. Cleveland and Thurman will be a tleket absolutely resistless. It will sweep tbe country with a mighty ruth, a tidal wave et approval. Against It all oppe. ittlen will be fruitless. The approval of Cleveland's administration during the past four years and endorsement of his actions, the simplicity, yet remarkable ability, with whleh he has administered hla great trust nnder the most trying circumstances, coupled with the all-pervading s traction felt for the phil osopher of Columbus Wilt make Cleveland and Thurman a war cry te affright tbe po litical enemy. The enthusiasm which will be aroused upon Its announcement will be Inleotleus and, gathering force and volume day by day, It will before November have beoeme epidemic That tbe name of Allen G. Tburman should be cheered te tbe eohe In this ball la net strange, for It brings tbe warm bleed of gratitude surging te the heart at every fireside end the testimonials which the people will surely pay te hit worth at tbe coming November election will be convincing proof of bis popularity. Indiana honors Governer Gray by sup porting him for this nomination ; Illinois is doing the same for General Blaek ; Mlehlgan for Mr. Dickinsen ; Wisconsin for Vilas geed men and true (ash and all of them, and were It net. for tbe self sacri ficing patriotism of Mr. Thurman In re sponse te the almost unanimous wish et the party te permit hla name te come before you, It were difficult Indeed te oheose be tween such meritorious and able gentle men. Their names are ni te grace tnia or t t any ether tleket. They are each the favorite vus ui weir ce-pc-uvv autvav, uui nueu Allen G. Thurman, the favorite son et each and every state In this Union, in answer te the universal demand for hla acceptance consents te leave tbe peace and tranquility et his fireside and again serve bis grateful oeuntrymen, se prominent, se colossal la his political and mental figure In the publle eye that all ethers must et noeesslty shade in Its Immensity. POPULAR DEMAND TOR TRURMAN. Let no mistakes .be made at this time. Mistakes are crimes. . If you but de your duty, if you but give the people what they expect, what they demand, the contest of parties Instead of Just commencing will be practlcaUy ended, for the great electoral and popular majorities which Cleveland and Thurman will surely reoelve at the polls will be a revolatten even te ourselves. As representatives of the Democracy of the nation we have a dutv te nsrferm. We must nominate - the man the neenla have already nominated. We have but te endorse the popular verdict; no less will be accepted at your hands. Let no consideration of personal friendship or glamouref locality influence your action. Personal friendship cannot be repaid by nomination where a great party's Interest , and future are at stake. Ne' trilling with great concerns, or stste should be toler ated t no expression' of local pride can be admitted te Islluenee action; when the sovereign people epeak they must be obeyed. Bread ground mutt be taken. Tbe man of the nation, net tbe man or the state, must be nominated. Nominate A lien G, Tburman. Nomlnate him by acclamation.

IILAOK AND (1RAV NAMED, The mil oil was again proceeded with. When Colerado wasreaohed Patterson took the platform te nominate Gen. Black.

The speech was spoken In excel lent form and with magnificent delivery, and belore the man from tbe mines had gene far he had completely wen the sym pathies et the audience whleh gave him tbe heartiest applause tbat anyone had received during the day. He made a mls mls take, however, In declarlng tbat when Mo Me Donald was nominated for the presidency at Chicago, and the convention seemed obeut te lese Itself, Gen. Black, llkeagenersl en tbe field of battle, arrested It In Its wild rage toward a condition of lunacy and turned the tlde te Cleveland and tbe audlence aat still. But he wen them back again befere be had aald mneh mere, and In incidental reference te Tburman gave such indubitable evidence of the speaker's fair ness tbat he was heartily applauded by the Callfernlana. Slleuce prevalled while the epeaker read a letter from General Black asking for the withdrawal of his name en the ground that tbe sentiment et tbe Democracy was for Thurman and there was loud choerlng when the signature was reached. In his peroration the epeaker said : " There la only one reason why we de net bow in humble submission before the red bandanna. We fuar Justly, sin cerely and earnestly If J udge Thurman, who is overytblog tbat la meie onthuslastle frlends claim for him ; we claim, 1 say, that If In the province of Ged if He should remove oue who has already filled out tbe years alleted te man, tbe Senate of the United States would bocuraed byanotberlngallr." (Loud and prolonged cheers and hissing.) He concluded by leaving the cause of Gen. Black in tbelr hands without further com cem com ment The roll call waa resumed and a Connecticut delegate brltlly seconded Ttiur man's nomination. Then Indiana was called and the Tall Sycamore et tbe Wabash get upon the plat form and tbe enthusiasm waxed het It was seme tlme before he oeuld proceed. Describing Indiana as the political battle ground he conjured up all the states te demonstrate tbat Indiana after all was tbe ene doubtful state of Iho utmost Importance te the Domecraoy. He rehearsed tbe pre vious political history et Indiana, saying that no Democratic president bad ever be be bo fero bt-en Inaugurated tbat had net received her vote. Frem Menree te Tllden and Cleveland sbe voted for them all and wLore was the state that came with a higher rate for respect and recognition. Tnts year would be no exception for Grevor Cleyeland and wboever went en tbe ticket with him would be elected with the votes of Indiana or net at all. lie knew there were certain Influences at work te leave In lana out of the calculation, but he would say te these who were sponsors for these In In Uacinces that whatever tended te Impair Indiana's power te help would also destroy the Democralle ascendency. Here a volce shouted "Oregon" and tbe speaker responded "Ye, take warning from Oregon belore it is te late." The battles they waged in Indians, continued Senater Voerboos, were unknown In ether states. Four years age ahe polled 405,000 yetec This year she would poll U0,000 and with that enormous vote tbere waa simply a plurality between the two great psrtlea of six or seven thousand. They could imaglne what tbe shock et battle was in that state ; hew Important It was that they should have every atom et ntrength, personal and political, that oeuld be brought te It. Gray'a nomi nation meant the electeral vete of Indiana. He would challenge the adborents of the otber candidates te show wbat eleoteral vete tbey could pledge. Having a'tended te (be charges against Gray, Mr, Voerbeea closed amid generous applaure. CIRAV'S NOMINATION SECONDED, Georgia bad been passed In tbe call but the secretary went back and Albert U, Cox who Introduced himself as a Union man from Georgia seconded tbe nomination of Gov, Gray. He had a voice of thunder, tucb lungt as are vouch . aafed te few men, and he made the echoes ring away up en the reef at tbe further corner et tbe hall, while General Prince and Chairman Cellins plugged their fingers Inte their jsars. The roll call was resumed. Kentucky was reached and Kvan K. Settle appeared "en behalf of the unterrltled Democrats" te aeoendGray'a nomination. He said be drew Inspiration for tbe moment from tbe convention that In this elty 13 years age nominated tbe man who although rightfully elected was defeated by fraud and conspiracy and paid a tribute te that ether Indiana patriot who elected tour yeera age bad gene beyond this life. They wanted, be said, young and vigorous men who could fill ent their terms of office. Louis iana was called ter and there was no response. Then Maine, Mlehlgan Minnesota and the ether tutes down te Missouri were called. Dryden, responded for the last named state. He admitted at the outset that be represented a di vided Domecraoy, a divided delega tion) but said that en behalf of the young seetlen of that Democracy be desired te second tbe nomination et Thurman. His frankness waa rewarded by great applause, whleh was re peated again and again and renewed when he referred te bis candidate aa a grand Old Reman, greater Uian Hecter, greater than AJax, who mere than any man had dealt telling blows In behalf et the Democracy. The apeaker'a manner was se earnest and his words se eloquent that the galleries get uneasy and sought te choke him by abentlng time" but there were ether cries of "goon," and he pro ceeded. When be referred te the faet that retirement and rest would be grateful te the Old Reman, somebody thundered "let blm have It" Dryden then eessed speaking. Then Gov. Green said Ohie was for Thurman In elo quent voice. TUK VOTINO SOON ENDS, The roll was called and when Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi and Wisconsin far Thurman Intensified the enthuelatm.
