lherever they could be used VIA gOOd Il.

descent lamps to represent the word
'Gleyeland." 1t was put up for the pur-
pose of promoting enthusiasm, the inten-
ton being to flash the name whenever
Cleveland's name was mentioned.
THE CONVENTION OPENS.
Shortly after o'clock the different dele
gations formed in line at the Olympia hotel
and marched to the theater headed by the
Capital City band. A large number of Wis
itors had already assembled and were pa
tiently waiting for the ball to open. The
delegates entered quietly and found the
way to the sections assigned to the differ
ent delegations without any display Of en-
thusiasm.
A delay of over half an hour was oc-
casioned by the failure of the King county
delegates to take their seats along with the
other delegations, and it was after 80 be-
fore the gathering was called to order.
A Ashght ripple of applause was occasioned
while the band was rendering the second
air, by the appearance of Chairman D, H.
Gilman and Rev. c. L. Diven, who crossed
the stage and took seats behind the chair
mans stand. The ripple increased in di-
mensions when the King county delegates
approached from the rear and took seats
in the section nearest the chairman. AS
the time of the band music continued to
increase in speed, the enthusiasm grew
apace and burst forth in the form Of three
rousing cheers for Cleveland, in which the
electric transparency participated.
Chairman Gilman announced that before
entering upon the deliberations Of the con-
Vention, Rev. c. L. Diven would invoke
divine aid. The delegates arose to man
and remained standing during the delivery
Of the prayer.
Chairman Gilman formally announced
the object of the gathering and directed
Secretary Hazard to read the call.
During the reading Judge Henry moved
that the convention dispense with the
reading of the call.
"Thsre is no second" said the chairman.
''There is a second" replied Mr.. Henry,
as a weak voice responded from distant
corner.
"I didn't hear it, said Mr.. Gilman.
The question was put to a vote and lost,
and the call was read in full.
In accordance with resolution adopted
by the state central committee, at meet
ing yesterday, the temporary officers ofthe
convention vera placad in nomination by
Chairman Gilman, as follows, and elected
without protest.

man to the stand.
Round after round Of applause made the
building ring as Chairman Eshelman took
his seat.
Mr. Eshelman made telling speech Of
acceptance, in which he expressed regret
that the American tin mines had been ex-
hausted in making gavels for the chairmen
of republican conventions. [Applausel.
This was followed by brief review Of the
situation, in which the corruption Of the
republican party was duly enlarged upon.
A Spokane delegate arose and made a
neat reference to the faithful service Of
Joseph Longmire, Of Thurston county, In
democratic ranks, and asked permission to
have him take a seat with the Spokane del
egation. Mr.. Longmire came forward
amid vociferous applause.
NJ. J. Maloney thought Mr.. Longmire
should take his seat on the platform and
thus honor the entire convention.
