The turbulent, hectic, protracted elate Democratic convention had pueeed Into history today with observers generally agreeing that the harmony forces under leadership of Uover-nDan Moody had accomplished thu major Items of their program a dry delegation and a dry platform, without instruction against any Individual candidate, In the stormy hours of yesterday, when all factional lines seemed at tiinea to break and the political nap became so clouded that hardly any group could be singled out as a political entity, three main achievements were registered: 1. Defeat of a motion by Oscar B. Colquitt to Instruct by name against (lovernor All Smith and defeat of a motion by Cone Johnson or to instruct against "all wet candidate." 1. Selection of a dry delegation-composed of men and women, for the most part, whose records are strongly on the side of prohibition. I. Adoption of a platform pledging the party to support the nominee, whoever he may be, and to demand a plank In the national platform "unequivocally indorsing prohibition and declaring "relentless opposition to any attempt to repeal or destroy prohibition laws. The convention paid tributes to Jeaae H. Jones and Governor Dan Moody, memorialised the late William Jennings Bryan, and without opposition, Jed C. Ad ama ot. Delhi nationaj commit, teeman.

Mr. Tilden was an excellent poll- Helen, and he knew election arilh-metl- o thoroughly.
