| CHICAGO, June %, III 80 a. m.-
Weather clear and pleasant. The con-

cheering for Boies. whose banner passed
down the hall.

we're met with kissing. After Palmer's
remarks Flower was called for.

not arrived yet for him to speak, and
refused to take the platform.

| permanent chairman of the convention,
and the report of the committee on per-
manent organization was adopted.

heavy rain storm set in, and business
had to be suspended during the storm.
Bands are playing until it clears up.
[ During the storm today, as yesterday,
delegates sit under umbrellas to keep off
the rain. The wigwam is uncomfortable
and unsafe, but the crowd comes.
| A dispatch was read from Minneapolis
rendering the committee the hall there

but the committee of five gropes its way
to the platform, escorting Chairman
Wilson, who takes the seat amidst
cheering.
At u :54 reports of committees were
being acted upon. The New York peo-
pie say they have given-up the idea of
contesting the unit rule, and will, there
fore, not prevent the minority report
from favoring it.
The adoption of the report of the COM

hold in this convention.

take recess until o'clock was adopted
1t is said the silver advocates are max

on platform, for a silver plank, and i
necessary will carry the question intc
the convention with the likelihood of
long debate, which would prevent an,
ballot being reached tonight.
