ST. LOUIS, June 6.-The Democratic
national convention to-day broke the
record for the greatest display of enthu-
SlaSm ever witnessed in similar BODY.
For over twenty consecutive minutes.
1900 people filled the air of the great
convention hall with volume of un-
diminishing applause comparable with
nothing on earth, perhaps save the roar
of the falls of Niagara.

words: 81 give you name entwined
with victory. | nominate Grover

The speaker was Daniel Dougherty.
of Tammany Hall. With head proudly
erect, every fibre of his fine features
Quivering, every nerve of his noble fig

was alternately thrilling the vast audi

When at the climax of his eloquence.
he named for the first time the man
who was uppermOst in the thoughts of
all, it was needless to utter another
word. Mr.. Dougherty paused for
moment to gaze over the hundreds of
frantic, cheering delegates, at the even
more frantic thousands of spectators
beyond. High above the forest of
heads was waving innumerable red
bandanas. Hats and canes were being
pitched into the air, while the cheering
was becoming so terrific that no single
enthusiast could hear his screech in the
one OverpOwering general yell.
At this moment in the mammoth
picture of the capitol at Washington
covering the wall far above the plat
form and in plain view of the whole
convention, the doors were seen to
swing back and the
SMILING FACE OF CLEVELAND
beamed out on his admirers. Every
body in the hall seemed fairly besides
themselves with the excitement. The
stone bust OF the president near the
speakers stand was crowned with
wreath of green snatched by almost
frenzied hands from among the decora-
tions Of the platform. Long poled state
banners among the delegates were being
whirled wildly in the air, when suddenly
the convention with a mighty shout dis
covered Daniel Dougherty climbing on
a chair in the middle of the New
Workers on the floor. He was waving
aloft an American flag. AS If moved by
a common impulse the standard bearers
of the different states all passed toward
the New York, each seeking to reach
Dougherty's emblem with their tall
Staffs and toss it to the roof. At this
moment the 100 American eagles Or
nanenting the railing of the gallery
were being torn off and their out
stretched mimic wings, six feet from
tip to tip, were tapping with the assist
ance of the nearest spectators, men and
women alike. In sheer mercy to the
people, Chairman Collins at length in
terposed, and after repeated efforts di-
rected their attention to a tall Ken
tuckian who stood beside him. This
gentleman. Delegate Mackenzie, was to
second the nomination of Cleveland,
and aroused the convention to re-
newed outburst almost at the first word
by declaring there was but one Demo.

he has made his wife. Again the con-
vention was in an uprOar when the
speaker gave brand new title to the
leader of the Republicans-the ''Floren-
tine Mosaic from Maine." Mr.. Mac
Kenzie moved to now suspend the rules
and make the nomination of Cleveland
absolutely unanimous. But everybody
wished to join in seconding Cleveland,
and everybody was given chance.
Then the thing was made one extraor-
binary hurrah.
The other many features of the day
in the convention were the four-cor-
nered struggle between the Thurman
men, the Gray men, the tariff reformers
and protective tariff element. The
Thurman delegates were eager to have
the nomination for vice president made
at.once, while the enthusiasm was at
fever heat. They were reinforced by
the tariff reformers, who were incensed
at the delay of the committee on plat
form and eager to administer rebuke.
The Gray men were using Fabian tao
