CIICAGO, June 23.--The Democratic
National Convention was called 10 or
der on Tuesday by Chairman Brice at a
quarter to one o'clock, who introduced
Rev. John Rouse to open the prOcee Il.
ing with prayer. VIM. G. Owen, of
Kentucky, was made temporary chair
man, and on taking the chair he ad-
dressed the Convention us follows:
"Two great dangers menace the
Democratic party, one is external, the
other internal; the first is the org gan-
lied machinery Of organized capital
supported by the whole power of gov
ernment; the st cond is the tendency
among Democrats to make issues
among themselves. Two needs there
fore stand before us Indispensable to
successfully and harmony. Or the
one this char and gavel stand repre-
sentative; 1t remains Tor you TO supply
the other. In this spirit | greet you,
telloW democrats, rs the advance

momentous is yLur responsibility |

attests that its heart and it's conscience
are with us in our war with the repre-
sentatiVcs of greed. The best thought
ot our party Is platform that chal-

serve SUCCESS. Above the wreck, if

gravity Of the situation demands the
Droadest patriotism and every nccdful
