Every Rap a Protest Against Pro
lection Hypocrisy.
The next order of business was the
report of the committee on resolutions,
but no members of the committee were
present in the hall.
Mr.. Phelps, of Missouri, took advan-
tage of the lull in the proceedings to
present gavel of zinc to the chairman
of the convention. In making the pre-
sentation in behalf of the zinc pro-
ducerS and miners OF MISSOURI, MI.
Phelps said:
II present you this gavel. not made of
tin or stolen from Nebraska home
steads, but mined and made in Jasper
county, Missouri and bearing the in
scription, we need no protection as a
protest against the mOckery of leglSla-
ton which imposes useless tariff of
80 per cent upon the metal as preteXt
for taxing the lamp, pick, shirt and
blanket of the miner more than 40 per
cent"
The speaker added that Missouri's
electoral vote would be given to the
nominees of this convention by 10000
majority. The chairman accepted the
gavel, expressing the hope that this
this gavel to knock out of the tariff the
protection upon zinc. Applause.
The chair again called for the report
of the committee on resolutions, and,
there being no response, he directed
the secretary to call the roll OF states,
that the various delegations might have
an opportunity to hand in the names of
their members of the national committee
and of the notification committee, This
was done, the list being as published
Wednesday.
On motion of Mr.. Walker, of Missouri,
Hon. John &. Carlisle, of Kentucky,
was invited to address the convention,
but a search of the convention hall
failed to reveal his presence.

A BRIGHT BEGINNING.

Sweltering, Enthusiastic Thou
sands Pack the Hall.
CHICAGO, June IA hot sweltering
crowd gathered in the convention hall
this morning, and with much buzZing
and rustIing gradually settled into the
Quiet necessary for the transaction of
business. Eleven o'clock, the hour APP
pointed, saw but few of the delegates
in their seats, and for half an hour after
ward they struggled in. Occasionally,
on the appearance of some we'll known
national character, like Gen. Sickles or
Gov. Flower, the crowd cheered or ut
tered Undesirable noises which were
interpreted as admiration of the man.
When the Hill men entered In solid
phalanX, as is their custom, Wild yell
went up from the Tammanyites in the
hall. Generally speaking, the conven-
ton presented a much more cheerful
aspect than at the beginning of yester-
days session. Instead of the gloom of
the storm and the crash and grumble of
thunder, the hall was bright with the
sunlight that streamed in at the win
dows and through the great ventilators
under the roof.
At 1:30 Chairman Owens thumped
for order.
Rev. Albert Henry, pastor of the
Leavitt Street NJ. E. church, of Chicago,
led in prayer.
At the close of the prayer the Iowa
delegation, with the banner of Gov.
Boies, marched to their place among
the delegates, and the display of the
banner was the signal for immense ap-
plause.
The Chairmau-The first business of
the convention will be the report of the
committee on credentials. Is that COM
mittee ready to report?
MIR. Winston, Minnesota, here called
attention to the fact that there were two
distinguished eX-senators present, one
of whom had the honor to preside over
two national Democratic conventions,
and moved that the convention extend
the courtesy of the platform to them.
! The gentlemen referred to were Hon.
James r. Doolittle and Hon. Lyman
| Trumbull, of Chicago.
Without putting the motion the chair
man declared it unanimously carried.
The report of the committee on ere.
| deEtials was then called for. but Mr..
Shaw, of Maryland, explained that the
| committee could not be ready to report
before o'clock.

of applause. When quiet had been
partially restored, the chairman intro
duced the distinguished Ohioan with
the remark: Your enthusiasm shows
that among the quadrupeds the camel is
the,favorite Democratic animal"
Gov. Campbell, after saying. amid
laughter and applause: 81 am afraid
the audience, having no other amuse-
ment, wishes, as the chairman insinu-
ated, to trot out the Democratic men,
agerie," expressed bis sense of the com,
pliment conferred by the assembly, but
declined to repay the kindness by in
flicting a speech on the convention. He
therefore retired after giving utterance
to this suggestive sentence: $50 sim
ply thank you and ask you, when No
vember rolls around, to keep your eye

There were cries for Senator Daniels
and Senator Voorhees,, who failed to
respond, and the convention having
voted to bear Hon. William u. Hensel,
of Pennsylvania, committee was ap-
pointed 10 conduct him to the platform;
but both MIR. HeDsel and the commit
tee got lost in tine subsequent confusion.

CHICAGO. June GA youthful divine
of the Methodist Episcopal church is
the first to give official intimatiOn that
God is to be with the Democratic party
in the coming campaign. The opening
PRAYER in the convention today was
very gratifying to the laymen OF the
Democracy, and that the assurance OF
divine assistance is authoritative the
wags of the party insist to be amply
demonstrated by the information COM
ing from that church which they have
so often denounced as being disguised
adjunct of the Republican party.

Following is the prayer of Rev. AL
fred H. Henry:
Almighty God, father Of men and ruler OF
the universe we bow ourselves reverently
before Thee and ask Thy blessing upon this
great convention, representing in deliberat-
i've assembly every section and every interest
of this national commonwealth. Under by
providence this convention has been called
together Be Thou it's presiding officer. So
order the deliberations of this body of dele
gates that from out of the chaos OF mans
passions and ambitions shall emerge the
spirit OF harmony and order.
Guide Thou the trainers OF the party plat
form so that every true lover of liberty and
of the rights of men shall be able to find a
place where he may stand erect for the prin-
ciples that have made the past of this nation
glorious, and that we trust shall make the
future still more glorious. Guide Thou the
choice of this convention so that its nominee
in character and conviction shall represent
the spirit of modern Democracy, a progressive
Democracy of q Democracy that is arrayed
on the side of the masses as against the
classes. and that strives to lift from the
shoulders of the people the burdens borne
for the benefit of a favored few.
May the nominees of this convention be IN
touch with the multitude of toilers that bear
the heat and burden of the day, leading 10
victory, not for the sake of mere spoils OF IL
fee. or of power. but tor the sake OF inherent
PRINCIPLES. To this end, grant wisdom, right
conviction and courage or their convictions
to Thy servants here assembled, and to Thee
we will ascribe praise now and forever.

preston nor single hackneyed phrase
so common to campaign Orations.
"There is 10 self-gOvernment where
the people do not control their own
elections and lay their own taxes" was
the first indirect allusion to the force
bill: but the audience quickly caught
the sentiment, and the mammoth wig
wan reverberated with a storm of en-
thusiasm that would have riyaled the
atmospheric cyclone that was fearfully
expected on the outside just at this
time.
He denounced the political methods
of the r epublican party by saying that
in every campaign the privilege OF tax
ing the people would continue to be
bartered for contributions to corrupt
them at the polls, and that after every
victory new Mckinley bill would be
enacted to repay these contributions
with taxes wrung from the people. The
Republican reciprocity he denounced as
being but retaliation upon our people
for the necessities of other people. He
epitomized the Republican doctrine of
protection by saying it meant. if you

OVATION FOR WILSON
And Thanks for Owens End the
Temporary Work.

Tremendous applause followed Presi-
dent Wilson's address, his Democracy.
as promulgated in his address, having
apparently caught the hearty apprecia-
ton of the convention. After the first
round of cheers subsidized, the delegates
to the convention almost to man rose
and gave him an ovation with yells and
waving hats, umbrellas and handker-
'" There was a cryftom the gallery:
"What's the matter with Wilson for
PRESIDENT"
There were numerous favorable re-
spOnSes, to all OF which Mr.. Wilson
shook his head and waved his hand
deprecatingly. The demonstration
ended with three cheers for the perma-
nent chairman by the delegation from
MiSso uri.
Mr.. Clardy, of Missouri, offered the
following resolution, which was unani-
mously adopted:
Resolved That the thanks of this conven-
ton are due ana are hereby rendered to the
temporary chairman. Hon. Villa m c.
Owens, for the able and impartial manner in
which he has discharged his duties. LCheers
Having disposed of the temporary adj
ministratiOn. the convention proceeded

name and territory was received with
great cheers. He offered memorial
from the Democratic territorial con-
vention of Alaska to the national con-
vention, and asked that it receive re-
spectful consideration.
The resolution was referred.
MIR. johnson, of Ohio, moved that the
chairman request Senator Roger q.

ton. This suggestion was received
with enthusiastic cheers from all parts
of the vast ball, and Messrs,. johnson,
of Ohio, and Goodman, of Missouri,
were appointed a committee to escort
Mr.. Mills to the platform.

the announcement that he would adj

fine art. 1t is expected that there will
be four or five prayers offered III the
present national convention, but it is
said that twenty gentlemen of the cloth
have been active competitors for the
honor of addressing the Almighty in

youth by his extreme junction. and
somewhat commanding eloquence, and
his youthful brother OF the Hickory
club felt proud that the Tammany OF
Illinois had been able to bring to
worldly prominence the forensic abll-
tiles OF his clerical brother.

the speech of his life in assuming the

voted to the tariff reform movement. In

A EeaSf OfReasOn.

The first session of the convention to-
dav was indeed an intellectual feast.
There was very little in the way of
effective business transacted, and ample
opportunity was afforded for the regale-
ment of the delegates by flow OF ora
tory. A ripple of enthusiasm swept
over the convention when Arthur X.
Delaney, of Alaska, conveyed the lnfor-
nation that the great cause of tariff re-
form had traversed every zone, from the
torrid to the frigid. by submitting It's
ere dentials as delegate from the terri
tory of Alaska, and announcing himself
as the representative of a pioneer peo-
pie engaged in building up civilization
in the wilderness, in the most remote
dominion of the republic.
The first speech of the day was by
Gen. John NJ. Palmer, whom the Demo
Gratis of Illinois are pleased to term the
"Gladstone of America" and who was
unanimously invited to address the con-
ventlOn.
The senator's speech awakened all
the latent political feryor that has been
waiting for days to be quickened to en-
thusiaSm by the stirring elOquence of
same popular leader.

Pledged Illinois, Votes.

Senator Palmer in his capacity of rec
ognized leader of the Democratic party
of the state of Illinois. as the man to
whom tAe forty-eight delegates of the
Prairie state have avowed obedience in
declaring for Grover Cleveland. pledged
the electoral vote of Illinois to the NOM
inee of this convention, whoever he
NAV be. next November. He was the
only speaker of the day who ignored
the tariff question for an issue which is
more vital at least to the representatives
of the South.
1.-The Republicans at Minneapolis,
/ said he, shave written upon their plat
form a menace to the people of the
country in the new force bill AS sure
as Benjamin Harrison is elected and the
next congress is Republican, we will
have a force bill such as the ingenuity
of John Davenport or the devil may
suggest"
The deafening cheers which followed
this sentence were evidence that the
South, at least, would exert every pos
sibIe effort to prevent either of the char
acters mentioned from ever having the
the opportunity to exercise their inge-
nuity in the line of Senator Palmer
