A SEA OF Red RANpAnAs

confronted the spectators looking out
| from the stage, the lurid waves rose
and fell, futtered and tossed about
likes the waves OF the ocean in cross
winds. Meanwhile the delegates stood
up on chairs and cheered until their
voices forsook them, and they we're
compelled to sit down through sheer
exhaustion. In the galleries and boxes
the ladies shared IN the common spirit,
and shock parasols, waved handker-
chiefs, and some even went so far as to
: give vent to faint cheers that were heard
only by the shriil falsetto note, to q
profound chorus from masculine lungs.
The uprear continued tor fully five
minutes. California was q magnet to
which was drawn delegates, political
clubs and spectators, and while the
coast men continued their demonstra-
ton. the order of the others did not
diminish. Where this
STORM OF ENTHUSIASM
would have ended cannot be estimated
as it was only brought to. conclusion
by the sound of the chairman's gavel.
California was represented in the boxes
By daughters of de egates IAN o1g whom
were Mrs. Cosoer, of Coiusa Mrs. and
Castle. of San Joaquin, Mesoames Tar
pey and Schmitt and Mrs. DR.. Potts, of
San Jose. The ladies formed a hand
some ,coterie. and shared in the general
furore created by the delegates from
the Pacific slope.
| Governor White makes an excellent
presiding officer, and his capaeious
lungs must have worked like a steam
power bellows to make his voice heard
in the remotest points OF the hall.
His success in this respect was
SIMPLY WONDERFUL,
and his facile delivery. clear enuncia-
ton and positive emphasis carried his
words to every person within the build
ing. They all heard him distinctly as
proven by the quick response to senti-
ments that tickled the delegates.
The COMMITTEES appointed to canvass
| the delegates on the possibility OF
Thurman securing the nomination, re-
ported at Colorado headquarters this
morning to a meeting of General
Blacks supporters, that the sentiment
appeared irresistibly in favor of Thur
man. and there is no opening for
another candidate. Nineteen delegates
| from Ohio are Numerically opposed
|
they can only lead forlorn hope.
DEMOCRATIC CLUBS.
The Democratic National League of
Clubs is represented at the convention
by E. B. VIII they, temporary secretary
of the clubs, E. Kingsbury Curtis and

Milwaukee, Lewis f. Vandegrift, of

clubs from several States since the

that Florida had already elected
delegates and would send them
to the convention. In Tennessee
Democrats are taking the scheme I'm
der advisement and are Organizing
clubs. ]. w. Reading has organized q
club at Rutland, Vermont, and reports
that they are now spreading the work
all through the State on the basis Of the
national league representation. The
| Iroquois club of San Francisco, have
affiliated with clubs all over the. State,
and are informed that the State will
