the entire structure there luckily came no
cry of fear, though women's faces were
white and mems faces were tense with anx-
iety. There came vivid fash OF light while
a booming report OF the thunder reached
the anxious crowd. Darker grew the
murky air and at length so great was the
blackness that news writer's at their desks
were obliged to pause. There was not
light enough for work
Quickly followed rattling of bursting
rain upon the roof and almost instantly
stream OF water flowed down through
cracks in the center directly upon the
heads of the New York delegation. Um-
brellss were hoisted and the storm was on.
A furious wind, quick thunder rolls and
rain dashes continued ten minutes. No
cry of fear or dismay was uttered. Sud-
denly as the storm had come il passed away
and light flowed within the great hollow
hail OF faces. Michigan came in with Don
Dickinson at its head dripping wet. Gov
ernor Campbell and Ohio's sons came in

A Brilliant Address By the Eloquent Ken.

The temporary chairman when the ap-
plsuse that greeted his appearance sub
sided said:
Two great dangers menace the democratic
party. One is external, the other internal.
The first is the organized machinery OF organ
lied capital supported by the whole power of
the government; the second is the tendency
among democrats TO make issues among them
selves. Two needs, therefore. stand before us
Indispensable to Buccsss-unity and harmony
OF the one this chair and gsvel stand represen.
tative; it remains for you, fellow.
Of f'G grand army arm AusHaS' ssns forward rTsTd
to blaze a pathway to victory to furnish the
other. How momentous is your responsibility
| need not tell you. II you work in wisdom
the millions toiiing in shop and mine and field
will rise and call you blessed. The roll call of
the republic attests that its heart and it's con.
science are with us In our war with the repre-
senta.ives of greed. The best thought OF our
party is platform that challenges the appro-
baton and invites the support of the people
We can succeed; we must do more-we must
deserve success. Above the wreck IL need be-
of selfish combinations must rear a temple
to the plain people aud build a shrine so broad
that every lover OF his kind may kneel. The
burden must be lifted from the back OF toll
and to that end it has a right TO demand that
whoever DchIS our DhnueT must 1lit III ABOVE
the smoke of conflict and the din OF faction,
that every democrat of the Union may follow
its lead in exultant and irresistible combat
Let us not mistake. The gravity of the situa-
ton demands the brosdest patriotism and
every needfUl sacrifice. Our work begins here
Under the suns of summer and the frosts of
autumn we must carry il forward with unfalter-
ing courage TO a triumphant close.
This again must be a campaign of education.
The study of the cornfeid begun in the West
and South must be carried into every hamlet
OF the East and North. The people must learn
must learn that no railroad presidents cham
pion the tribunes Of the people; no taskmas-
ters write our tariff bills. They must learn,
their country was menaced by the threat of
war. aud they will learn with shame aud regret
that on the day the warlike message o. their
president was read in the halls OF co1gress, the
peaceful response of the little eight-by-ten re-
idential ultimatum was read In every capital Of
the world.
Our opponents must be measured by their
deeds and not by their professions. The Fifty
first congress wrote the blackest page In our
legislative history and became thing OF the
past. Ii challenged the approval OF the Deo-
pie and they responded in tones go portentous
tnat IL seemed the voice of God. With q
uuanimity that finds no parallel in the story OF
popular government they determined that
billion dollars was far too much TO pay for

them came Richard Croker and the cry
started: There's Croker. There's the
Tammany chief" and while the New
Workers were seating themselves in the
center of the hall, Illinois filed in on the
right. The sounds of band music and the
rattle Of drum-beats preceded magnifi-
cent blue banner carried by the Pennsyl-
vania delegates to their seats in the loft.
In groups and in pairs and singly other
states trailed to their places. Meantime
the galleries were filling rapidly. and as
they recognized their friends among the
delegations shouts were launched out
upon the air that was growing moment
arily more dense and murky.
1t was high noon and a shadow crept up
from the north and the skylights in that
direction became clouded. The shadow
crept apace within the great hall and the
galleries were becoming shadowy and
dim. A hush erept over the thrOng as a
sense of the impending storm came upon

to the opening beneath the light wooden
roof. Was the roof again to be blown

Palmer. Hill is the man" came voice
from up in the shadows beneath the roof,
and the name of the New Yorker was
caught up and shouted for, until from the
shore of sea of faces in the lower regions, a
shrill, sybilant hiss shot out into the
clatter of sound. 1t grew and grew until
the cheers and the Kisses died away in a
quiet, so all could hear. When the aged
speaker claimed that Illinois would be
democratic, the shouts were wild

served for guests of honor were scores of

of tiers OF seats, and not distinct portion

countless small flags and bore at intervals
the shields Of the various states and por-
traits of the score of honored democrats Of
the past-Hendricks and Douglass and
others, back to the beginning of the

AS the crowds flocked into the hall al
most the first comment was that the New

subcommittee that formulated the rules
that the proposed u nit rule is not intended
to affect Mr.. Cleveland's candidacy.
At exactly 1:30 the Rev. Alfred II.
Henry of Chicago was presented by
Chairman Owens to offer prayer. The
clergyman especially remembered the

When the preacher had ceased his prayer
for a truer, broader, nobler democracy

CHICAGO, June 2l.-The national demo-
cratic convention was in session two hours
today. and during all that time the name
OF but one illustrious American was men,
Homeland that name was the name of
James q. Blanche great popular leader
oil the republican party. By a singular
coincidence the name OF Grover Cleve-
land, the democratic idol, who is destined
to be the nominee OF the convention, was
not mentioned by either chairman or dele
gates throughout the session, while that OF
James q. Blaine called forth the most en-
thusiastic demonstration of the day 1t
Is true the resolution offered TO the name
81 Blaine was one of sympathy for his re-
cent bereavement, but before the purport
Of the resolution was known, and imme-
diateiy upon the mention OF the name OF
Blaine, the secretary was interrupted by
that tremendous ovation, which is one Of
the typical scenes of national conventions,
and which rivaied the tribute accorded to
the name of Blaine at the national repub-
lican convention but few days ago.
That human sympathy rises above
partisanship was aptly illustrated by the
reception which Congressman Cables
resolution received and the chivalrous
unanimity by which il was adopted by the
convention.

circus tent trebly magniied with
a dozen huge white pendants stretch
ing from covering TO 1oor-that was
the appearance of the big democratic
wigwam when the national conven-
ton assembled today. The supposed
pendants of shining canvas were appar-
entity circular canopy floating in the
sky, but in reality a substantial ROOT of
wood raised some distance above the walls
TO admit light and air above from every
direction. Greater magnitude, but natur-
ally less appearance of permanency,
and beauty of finish distinguished the
mammoth temporary structure from the
republican convention hall at Minneapolis.
There the predominating tint was old
gold-here almost glare of white, re-
lieved only by vivid bands of red and
blue. The vista Of seats-a total exceed
ing twenty thousand-seemedto to lengthen
out right and left before and behind till
the eve became bewildered.
SiIken banners of blue inscribed with
the names Of the states and distributed
about the area of floor forming the center
of the structure showed where the
votes we're to come from that, within a
few hours at the most, would name the
winning candidate.
All around were the rising tiers OF seats
containing the spectators, who, If they
could not vote in the convention, were at
least able to cheer and yell 10 their hearts

over which Cleveland and Hendricks
we're nominated in 1884, was surrounded

joists that uphold the roof of the wigwam.
The place was drying out. The floor was
covered deeply with saw-dust and was
free of water. The cellar-like atmosphere
of yesterday was changed. The crowd
felt the bright influences. The band came
early and began business at once.
When the hour for the
session came. $1,000 faces shone
around the upper gallery, dimly in the
shadows of the lower gallery, and upon
the floor of the convention. The delega-
tions came mostly as individuals, although
