out from the floor and grew to
whistling, Kissing storm The
great throng, however. subsidized when
Chairman Wilson thumped the delk
and the session had begun. Prayer was
offered by Rev. Thomas Reed OF Cedar
Rapids, Ia. and he was applauded when he
closed. The temper Of the audience was
clearly one of quick demonstration. A
band of brass aud reed instruments started
"America" while the convention was await
ing the resolutions committee, and the
strains of the familiar hymn brought hun
dreds to their feet and cheers from all.
Mr.. duBignon of Georgia moved ito ad-
1ourn until IL O'Clock Tomorrow morning.
Hells Of derisiOn greeted him, and the mos
tion was scarcely put before the convention
by the chair before 1t was buried in a storm
OF "noesn
Meantime Gov. Campbell OF Ohio and
Don NJ. Dickinson Of Michigan were seen
moving among the delegates, apparently
on missionary service.
AT 6:4 o'clock Charles II. Jones OF Mis-
souri,, chairman Of the committee on reso-
lutions, appeared upon the platform. Ad-
dressing the convention, he said: "I am
instructed by the committee on resolutions

r. E. Patterson Of Colorado advanced on
the platform and said; "In view of the

Quick cheers followed this announcement.
A CLEVELAND DEMONSTRATION.
Then ex-Secretary Villas commenced to
read the resolutions at 6:2S O'clock, but
when he reached the phrase, From Madi-
son to Cleveland u there was q quick shout
of one voice near the platform. It was lost,
however, Ia Il flash, for it seemed that as
though with one impulse the entire 10000
people leaped upon their chairs and, with
hats and handkerchiefs In the air, 5000
throats let loose yells and soroams that
shook the heavy air and almost made the
barracks quiver. In flash a white satin
banner. heavy with gold fringe, shot
aaoat and moved TO the center aisle IL was
the ensign of Michigan, and on ono side was
picture Of Mr. Cleveland. Had the throng
shouted beforel q, no. the first outburst had
been but murmur beside the savagery OF
the noise and din that rose then and swept
the air, rolled from side to side of the great
wigwam and around the amphitheater.
A man in the rear Of the delegates hoisted
a picture OF David Hill. Quick as human
impulses move hostile hand ripped 1t from
the standard and tore il up, while hisses for
aud against the act swept in a wave around
the hall.
Then came into the arena the crimson
banner Of Iowa A sturdy Boies mau bore
il aloft and waved it constantly. while the
mass Of sweltering people, il possible,
swelled the din and storm of sound. The
tempest ebbed and flowed until :42 o'clock
when Don Dickinson Of Michigan caused
the Michigan banner to be carried
from view in order that bus
iness might be resumed. There were
hIsses from the crowd that the guidon and
baton Of its applause should be removed.
Through all this the Tammany men
In the center sat grim aud
silent, neither Kissing MIR. Cleve-
land nor cheering Senator Hill. Its
thunderous disapproval, held perfectly In
leash, challenged admiration even from
those who opposed the Manhattan Indians.
Finally at Gas o'clock ex~Secretary Villas
again resumed the reading Of the platform.
