eve strongly condemn the course of
Senators Allen and Squire in advocating
the appropriation for the Lake Washing
ton ship canal, to the exclusion of needed
appropriations for the necessary improve
ment of our rivers and harbors."
Chairman Gilman, of King county, pre-
sented the following amendment to the
majority report as a substitute for the one
offered by Judge Crowley Of Spokane;
"The democracy demands liberal apprO-
pratiOns from the general government for
coast defenses, river and harbor improve
ments, including the construction of the
waterway between Lake Washington and
Puget Sound"
Judge Cation, of Lincoln county, moved
that 1--WE condemn the action Of the repub-
lican state convention in making the canal
question an issue"
He was declared out Of order and the de-
bate upon the King county substitute
began.
Gilman opened the battle by general
review of the question, setting forth prin-
cipally that the canal would be of great
benefit to the entire state. He deprecated
the organized effort that seemed to be
made to ''cheat Seattle out of her dearest
hope"
During Gilman's speech the audience
hlssed, calling forth a reprimand from
Chairman Church.
Mayor Ronald, following d. G. Gilman,
said he chad come here to die politically
for the canal measure. We are on the verge
of a responsible crisis for this state. / have
come here to make this fight to the end
aud to go down with flying colors if de-
feated. ! will stand by Seattle if you read
me out of the democratic party"
He said that the people Of Eastern
Washington had been lured into some un-
fortunate combine against the canal. He
said that the canal was only beaten be-
cause Senators Dolph and Mitchell of Ore
gOn, insisted upon tacking to the bill the
Dalles railway canal scheme.
Ronald talked for more than half hour
and presented the matter with a plea that
seemed 10 be almost irresistible. He ac-
cused Pierce county Of playing off
on the King county delegation upon the
conference question He said Pierce had
substituted an ultimation upon the canal
question that he would be eternally
damned before he would support it,"
"Time was called but the speaker re-
piled that although he knew he was
beaten he would make his speech,
He was vocilerOusly told 10 60 on. In clos
ing he, said "lf you must deliver us
gagged and bound, over 10 the enemy,
don't attempt TO throttle any other delega-
ton upon a similar question"
Thre hearty cheers were given for Rom
aid when he sat down.
AT the hour of going TO press the debate
was still IN progress, with good prospects

Delay Caused by Efforts to Har-
mOnize the warning Elements.
A tiresome delay was occasioned by the
efforts Of the warning elements among the
delegations to come to an understanding
Leading members Of the King and Pierce
county delegations we're absent. Pending
the delay demands we're made for an ex-
PLANTATION.
The chairman stated that the conference
committee Of the King, Pierce, Spokane
association delegations we're IN session.
Protests we're made and some confusion
ensued. The King county delegation was
called out for conference and left the hall
amidst excitemekt that threatened TO be-
come irrepressible. Delegate Sigh, Of Ma
son, called for music.
"The band will please play, " said the
chairman, addressing the gallery
And the band played.
A large, intelligent and fashionable
audience had assembled and waited some
what impatently for the fun to begin.
The announcement that King county
would be ready TO report TO the convention
IN few minutes was hailed with delight
and occasioned some little applause.
The delegates comprising the Joint con-
ference committee appointed In the inter
est Of harmony were;

At 3;O5 O'Clock the King county delega-
ton and the conference committee re-
turned from the conference room.
1t was quietly given out that If theil
plans concerning the majarity report were
defeated King county would at once offer

| At3:15 the convention was called TO or
der King county had reorganized by
making ID. q. Gilman chairman of the

at the request Of the delegates, asked al
gentleman not delegates TO the conYen

and take seats in the audience, and th'
! Isergeant-at-arms was ordered to clear th'
/ lobby.
/ Interesting cross-Gring occurred wheI

report was placed before the convention.
Judge Crowley, Of Spokane, who was
member Of the conference committee, re
ferred TO the action taken in the confer

STATE PLATFORM.
Majority Report of the Committee
ON Resolution,

The chairman Of the committee on
resolutions announced shortly after 8
O'Clock that the committee was ready TO
report and the chairman directed the
secretary to read the majority report. 1t
was as follows:
The representatives Of the democratic
party of the state of Washington, in con-
ventiOn assent bled, do adopt the follow
ing platform and resolutions:
We endorse the platform Of the demo-
cratic party adopted at the national con-
vention in Chicago, and its nominees,
Grover Cleveland and Adiai E. Stevenson,
and pledge them our hearty support.
We pledge ourselves to advance by
every exertiOn within our power the re-
form Of the existing tariff, and the impOsi-
ton of taxes upon luxuries instead Of
necessities to the end that the burden laid
upon the many by the privileged few be
lightened as fully as possible.
We strenuously oppose that latest in
iquity of the republican party-the federal
elections law commonly known as the
force bill.
We favor the free and unlimited coinage
of American silver.
We favor the immediate opening to set
tlement under just guaranty to the Indians
of all the Indian reservations of this state.
We favor and recommend such just and
| liberal appropriations Tor coast prOJeCblOu
and general Improvements as shall be for
/ the benefit of the state. We condemn any
expenditure of the public moneys having
/ for its purpose the advancement of private
enterprise.
| We demand the immediate survey of all
unsurYeyed lands within this state that
/ they may be thrown open TO actual settlers
we condemn as criminal the policy which
has marked the present land administers
| tiOn, onder which many thousands of acres
Of land have fallen into the hands Of specu-
lators and corporations.
We favor the establishment of a United
States assay Office in this state.
We favor the election of president, vice
president and United States senators by q
direct vote of the people.
We pledge our every effort as well as th,
efforts Of all the nominees of this conven
tion to do all in our and their power to Sc
cure the speedy completion of the Nicara
qua canal under such proper restraints anC
regulations as will be consOnant with TIN
well established principles Of internationa
law and the international policy Of thi
government.
Upon the present republican administra
tion in this state'we call down the indig
nation of an outraged people. In its ex
ecuhve branch it has been weak, negligent
prOhigate, without capacity and WithOu
! patriotic spirit. In its legislative it ha

NIGHT SESSION.

She'll TO be Thrown
One Of the most select and elegantly at
tired audiences that ever gathered in the
Olympia theater, assembled last evening TO
enjoy the night session of the democratic
state convention Ladies we're largely in
the major ity and eYinced a keen interest
in the proceedings, frequently betraying
considerable enthusiasm. All the seats in
the lower part of the house and clear back
to the gallery rail in the balcony were
filled long before the arrival of the hour
for opening the convention. As is always
the case when a first class comedy is on
the boards, standing room was in great
demand.
At 1880 O'Clock Temporary Chairman
Eshelman announced that the time for
opening the convention had arrived but
that, owing to the absence of a large num-
/ Der Of delegates, he would declare recess
of fifteen minutes. During the interim the
/ Capital City band rendered enlivening
music, which, together with the brilliant
! lights and gay assemblage served to gener-
ate a vast amount Of patriotism in the
hearts Of the delegates that smOuldered
and slumbered while awaiting an appro
pirate opportunity for expression.
The band had started up that allurine

A. H. Camel, of SnohOmish, announced
himself against the report
Terrific applause ensned.
Captain O'TOole, Of Skagit, made a Ia
| bored speech in which he demanded the
| improvement of the rivers before Seattle
was accorded any Injuries.
]. A. Strong, of WhatcOm county, said
the majority report did not voice the senti-
ment of the majority of voters of Whatcom
county. He said the Lake Washington
canal had no place in the convention.
Delegate Blandford, of Walla Walla,
wanted to know how the stump speakers
were gong to explain the majority report.
N. Berkeley, Of Garfield, approved the
favoring Of Seattle.
Others who participated in the debate
were John =. Judson, of Pierce; Matt B.
Kelly, of Whitman; James Harris, Of
Columbia: Chas. DeFrance, of Pacific
year, of Whitman.
Chairman Snively of the committee on
resolutions closed the debate.
The vote on the question to add the
minority report to the majority report re-
suited in a majority of II in favor Of the
amendment, the full vote being yeas, 1853;
nays, 162.
The excitement was terrific. King coun-
ty delegates shook their fists in the faces
of the Pierce county brethren.
Ronald rose TO his feet to make a motion
and was almost overwhelmed by the up
roar. He stood his ground, however and
moved an adjournment, Confusion fol-
lowed.
Judge Rochester, of King, said he de-
sired to amend the majority report by
striking out the clause relating to internal
improvements.
Ruled out of order.
A terrific outburst ensued. During the
calling Of the roll on the appeal from the
chair Skagit moved a reconsideration Of
the vote by which the minority report was
adopted. The announcement from Skagit
that five delegates desired to change caused
an outbreak that threatened to destroy all
seniblance Of order and prOpriety. The
delegates seemed literally to go Wild
Personal encounters seemed iminenent
on all sides.
The cleveland" transparency flashed
brightly when disorder reigned supreme
They all stopped and yelled for the Stuffed
Prophet and harmony was restored. There
was at least one point upon which they
can all agree.
The motion TO reconsider was carried by
a vote Of l99 to i54. A motion to lay on
son appealed from the decision Of the
chair, the chair sustained.
Rochester got excited and created con-
siderable amusement.
Points of order were raised on all sides
and feeling began TO run high.
Rochester called steve JudsOn a "parlia-
mentary crank" whereupOn Judson de-
manded that the gentleman from King
apologize TO the convention for the insult
Shortly after / O'Clock this morning the
minority report was submitted and defeat
ed by a vote Of 1863 10 173.
The convention had succeeded in reyers-
ing itself after five hours desperate parlia-
mentary fighting.
The yelling was deafening in all parts Of
the theatre.
Throughout the session the audience be-
came so noisy at times that the chairman
was obliged to deliver a reprimand.

coNvENTION NOTES.

Permanent Chairman l.. K. Church
makes a most excellent presiding officer
He is firm and impartial in his decisions,
accurate and explicit in his rulings and
statements, and is esteemed by every dele
gate to the convention. Mr.. Church was
in the New York assembly several terms
from the Long Island district during
Cleveland's administration. Cleveland
made him justice Of the supreme bench Of
the Tertiary Of Dakota, and afterwards APP
pointed him governor He resided at
Huron, from which city John Cain of the
legislature.
Steve Judson is the most formidable
opponent on arguments in the convention,
and is considered one of the best paria-
mentarians in the state. lie is staid old
timer, honest in his convictions, not afraid
TO express himself, and is as honest as the
day is long.
The Capital City Band received good
share Of attention from the convention. 1t
is constantly appauded and wins merited
applause at the conclusion Of every selec-
ton.
Q. Q. Paget, Of Lewis county, who was a
member Of the first territorial legislature,
has been regular attendant on the con-
vention.
JOINT SENATOR.
II. s. Blandford, Of Walla Walla, was
nominated for joint senator from the sena-
torial district of Walla Walla, Franklin

gates from King, was secretary TO Governor

"Tenas Governor" while Semple was the

When the convention was called TO or
der at 1906 this morning. All the dele
gates were in their places, bright and
cheerful, and as eager for the fray as if
they had not been limited to few hours
sleep each after the excitement Of the night
session.
Chairman Church had been provided
with a heavy gavel shod with iron, which
he quietly displayed to Steve Judson and
other parliamentary war horses. The band
played lively music and the crowd ap-
plauded.
An unusually large audience had ASSEM-
bled, evidently in anticipation Of more
fun. The leading question before the body
was the adoption of the majority report Of
the committee on resolution. 1t was
known that an effort would be made to
adopt other amendments touching the
question Of internal Improvements and a
waiting for the chairman to call the con-
yentiOn to order, quiet OVertures were
made by the King county delegates to the
Pierce county delegates looking toward an
amicable adjustment of existing differ
ences. Mayor Ronald, Of Seattle, was
prominent as a peacemaker. As soon as
The chairman had stated the business Of
the morning, Judge l.. b. Nash, Of Spo-
kane, took the floor and moved an adjourn
ment until after dinner. He thought
crisis had been reached In the affairs Of the
convention that demanded mature deliber-
tion. Mr.. Sniyely seconded the motion,
and moved that the rules be suspended
and the question be submitted by acclima-
tion. The motion to adjourn was carried
by an overwhelming vote, and the cOnVen-
ton adjourned at II 10 until o'clock.
