TWENTY THOUSAND IN LINE.
The Great Parade Of Democratic Club
q Magnificent Spectacle.

The Great Parade of Democratic Clubs
q Magnificent Spectacle.
ST. LOUIS, June "a gorgeous parade
Of fully 2U, 900 uniformed Democrats in
procession was witnessed Tuesday night
by people in such numbers they could be
estimated only by hundreds Of thousands.
The procession started at an early hour
and was still moving at 10:40. Before
the March began, Olive street, the
thoroughfare leading to the convention
hall, was damned for over a mile
pavement, sidewalks, cutters and
stairways, with such q solid mass of
human beings as perhaps never before
gathered In any American city. The
spectacle was n of surprising brilliance.
The street was only cleared sufficiently
for the procession by pounding a
passage through the mob with trains
of cable cars. Wild Enthusiasm was
evoked everywhere by the display
of Thurman bandanas among the
marchers. First In the line came the
grand marshal, Col. John I. Martin and
stan, followed by the, First battalion OF
the Missouri National guard and the
Marmaduke guards, of Kansas City. A
great host Of local semi-military fra
ternal associations next appeared, while
the succeeding division contained politii
cal marching organizations by the score,
including Tammany, the Hendricks as.

THE PLATFORM.

Committee Hammered Away at It All
Night---lt Will Not Be Ready At the
Appointed Hour.
ST. LOUIS, June 5.-The subcommittee
OF the committee N resolutions, were up
nearly all of last night, at work on their
big job of drafting the platform. The
platform can scarcely be reported to the
full committee at the appointed hour
this morning. The Louisiana member of
the committee offered a resolution favor
ing the total or partial reduction of in
ternal revenue taxation, and the Nevada
member presented one favoring unlim-
tied coinage Of American silver and the
issue Of certificates for silver deposited
in the national treasury.
Clark, Of Texas, addressed the COM
mittee at considerable length, urging the
insertion Of q specific declaration in the
platform upon the question of prohibit
ton. Mr.. Clark said that although the
recent prohibition movement in that
state was defeated by a majority Of
30, 900, yet the issue was not dead, and
would be productive Of serious disaffec-
ton from the ranks Of the Democratic
party unless such a clause were inserted
in the resolutions as would indicate
clearly the opposition Of the party to
prohibttve legislation.

nee for the second place on the ticket.
At 1l:15 p. m. the convention ad-
journed sine die.
The platform adopted declares against
the manufacture or importation of alco-
holic liquors; for the abolition of the in
ternal revenue system; in favor of tariff
for revenue only, civil service reform and
equal suffrage; for the abolition of polyg-
amy; against trusts; in favor of arbitra-
tration of differences between nations
and between capital and labor; against
pauper immigration. The last section
declares the prohibition issue to be the
one Of paramount interest to the people
and invites everybody to join the move-
ment,

THURMAN's BOOM.

It Comes from Outside Bis Own State
d Gray's Name May BE Withdrawn.
ST. LOUIS, June 4-The situation, so
far al Thurman's selection Is concerned,
is unchanged. There will probably be
no ballot taken. The action of the New
York delegation to refrain from voting is
construed by anti.Thurmanites to mean
that the New Workers. are scheming to
stampede the convention. It is more
than probable that Governor .Grsy's
name will be withdrawn from the con-
test for second place.
The. most interesting phase of the
Thurman boom is the fact that IL was
started by party leaders residing out of
Ohio. New York is credited with start
ing the ball for Thurman.

Delegations of Soldiers on he Ground
With Material for the Platform.
ST. LOUIS, June 6.--An address has
been drawn up by a number OF old
Union soldiers who are delegates to the
convention, and twill be urged upon the
attention of the committee on deputa-
tions. The following resolution, which
it is hoped will be embodied in the plat
form, accompanies the address:
In appreciation of the services Of the
Union soldiers and sailors in the late wal
for the Union, we demand justice for
them before charity, and pledge the DEM
ocratic party to the passage Of a Just and
equitable service pension law, and also
the equalization Of bounties IN the cur
rency the army was compelled to re-
ceive at par.

Goudy, Of Chicago, had attempted to join
forces with the friends Of Gen. j. G..
Black for the purpose of putting Cloudy
at the head of the Illinois delegation,
thus depriving Morrison of any chance of
being a dark horse for the vice-presi-
dency, while correspondingly increasing
the chances of a boom for Black. Morri-
son adroitly combined with the friends of
Gray, and after a hard fight defeated the
Cloudy. Black allies. Morrison was made
chairman of the delegation, and F. M.
Phelps, of Chicago, a rival of Goudy's,
was elected as the representative Of
Illinois on the national Democratic COM
mittae.

WASHINGTON, June 6.-Tuesday was q
favorable day for Gen. Sheridan. He
rested quietly and has apparently gained
q little In strength. The family felt
quite cheerful. He takes considerable
interest in things generally. He insisted
upon knowing the news from the St.
Louis convention, and dispatches from
there were read to him from time to
time. While there has certainly
been an improvement in his
condition It must BE- borne in mind that
this Ia largely comparative and does not
mean that he is better than before Mon
days attack. Each attack leaves the
general somewhat weaker and it is this
fact which causes such grave apprehen-
sions among his friends. The generals
face, which was very full, is somewhat
thinner, and he has also fallen off about
the body. No one is allowed to see him
except the family and physicians.

succeed p. H. Kelly on the national Dem
ocratic committee there is great rejoicing
among the Kelly-D oran crowd, and, while
the Ames faction is not Respondent, the
DOCTORS friends are, Of course, greatly
disappointed over his failure to knock
out the old Democratic warehouses; of
Minnesota. The deadlock was broken on
the twentieth ballot, the vote standing:

Tariff Reduction and the MESSAGE.

ST. LOUIS, June 4.-Innumerable dele
gates have been interviewed since their
arrival as to their position on the presi-
dents tariff message. The delegations
of twenty-five states have already been
seen, and every one has expressed a
strong sentiment in favor of the Mills
bill and a vigorous campaign on the
basis of CleYeland,s declarations.

the tariff, and the cheering was deafen-
ing. Then mention of Cleveland's name
brought every delegate to his feet and
the cheering was simply terrific.
A resolution offered by Governor
Green, of New Jersey, that the conven-
ton be subject to the rules of the pre-
vious convention, was adopted. This
was done 80 as to prevent any state
from changing its vote until the call Of
states was completed.
States were then called, the chairman
of each delegation giving the states
choice for members of the committees Oh
credentials, resolutions and order of bust
ness.
When the name of Henry Watterson,
of The Louisville Courier-Journal was
announced on the committee ON resolu-
lions from Kentucky, his name was
cheered for several minutes.
The call Of states proceeded with some
confusion and much noise. Delegates
listened attentively. r.
The only contest reported was in d.
kota and both delegations were excluded
until the question is settled.
w. H. Puzy, of Iowa, offered the fol-
lowing resolution:
That the hall be open during the re-
cess for inspection by visiting clubs.
Amended by Mr.. Baker, that every
uniformed club be admitted to the hall.
This was applauded, because of the
feeling of indignation at the cutting
down of the number of tickets.
Mr.. Baker made a strong plea for the
admission of Democratic clubs.
w. S. Terry, of Arkansas, moved to
have the matter referred to the national
committee.
Mr.. Wilson, of Missouri, argued also in
favor Of referring the resolution. This
led to tedious w%rangling.
Ex-Governor Leon Albeit urged the
reference of the whole matter to the ma
tional committee. [Cheers.
Mr.. Puzy, of Iowa, then stated the oh
ject of his resolution to be simply to al
low clubs the use of the hall during the
recess.
Mr.. Terry's substitute then carried.
Mr.. Flower moved for a recess till 10

Before an Admitting Crowd.
ST. Louis, June 5.-The Ames presi-
Dental boom stands about this way:
DR.. Ames says he is no candidate for
any Office in the world. 1t is his friends
who are booming him. A circular was
issued and scattered broadcast through
out the city. It ts headed;
''Gfte the west q chance. The politi-
cal record Of q brilliant and successful
Western man"
The circular concludes az follows.
'cMayor Ames Is now serving his third
term as mayorof Minneapolis, an almost
reliably Republican city. He was the
last Democratic candidate for governor
OF the state of Minnesota, which four
years ago gave Blaine q plurality of over
&C, 1000. The result of that campaign was
that Mayor Ames lowered the above ma
jority to 1000, the latter figure being &C.
corded to him by the Republican admin
istration, the returns having been made
after the peculiar methods OF the ma
chinery and manipulations of the domi-
nant party. His three m~ayoralty cleo
lions were in opposition to the combined
capitalists and the trusts of the entire
state. This is his record in political life"
Ames was serenadcd at the Planters
during the night. A Large crowd gath
cred and listened to the vocal music,
which ended with the announcement
that it was in s'honor of A. A. Ames, the
next vice president" While the crowd
cheered, Davy johnson appeared on the
scene and, mounting a table, gave Ames
q great send-off, ending with the declara-
ton that if the convention does it's duty
Ames will carry Minnesota by 25, 700 ma
jority. Ames was then hustled to the
platform and made a speech, in which
he lauded the Germans and wound up
by inviting the crowd to Minneapolis.
