chair, and, taking the rostrum, spoke

Gentlemen of the Convention: l propose 10
address myself TO the common sense, good
judgment and experience of the 900 men
selected by the Democratic party as delegates
to this convention. Twelve years ago sent
to the chair resolution instructing the ma
iioual committee 10 provide accommoda'
tons III the next convention for the dele
gates, The plternates. the national committee,
the members of the Lress aud none others.
ICries of THAT Is right"
The time was not then ripe for the adop-
ton of that resolution and without dispar-
agement to our national committee, l reel
free 10 say in the presence of small frhc-
ton of the great American public outside OF
ourselves as delegates, that mistake mas
been made here. and that the time has now
come when Democratic convention should
be deliberative body and not governed by
outside influences. tCries of Good, good.
If we could be on exhibition i'll the view
of $4,000. coo of people. and 100000 of Demo-
Gratis who will vote the Democratic ucket,
well and good; but what is the use, what Is
the sense i'll having $1,000 people VINO can
hardly see, and cannot hear, prolonging the
proceedings of a Democratic convention ana
preventing them from being deliberatiVe.
(Cries of good. good) 1t is not the dlscom-
fort il is uotthe Inconvenience, but II is the
danger of wrecking the good work OF CON
vention that we are face to face with To-Day
and feel confident that we have reached
the imax OF absurdity /. therefore, vent
ure to ask my fellow delegates to pass the
following resolution:
Resolved, That the Democratic national
committee be instructed to provide Ill the
next national convention the aecommoda-
tionS necessary for the delegates. the aitern-
ateS, the press, the national committee, and
none others.
A great howl of protest went up from
the galleries against the last clause OF
the resolution, and the cries of mo. no,
from the galleries interrupted the speak
er for minute. There was demand
from the delegates for call of the roll
of states on the resolutions, in which de-
mand Gen. Collins joined.

ALMOST A PANIC.
Falling Electric Lamps Cause a
Stampede.

Great confusion reigned at this juno
ture throughout the convention, nearly
everybody standing up and shouting
themselves hoarse. The delegates were
standing in the aisles ana on the chairs,
and many of them had their hats on,
apparently glad to go. While things
were in this state there was crash and
the arc lights which had furnished the
illumination for the convention were
seen descending upon the heads of the
delegates. Something had given away
above. and it appeared as if the numer-
Gus Interruptions which had so Oml-
nouSly occurred at the hands of nature
were about to be supplemented by one
great catastrophe which should wipe
out the whole national Democratic con-
vention of 1892. The three lights imme-
diately over the New York delegation
came crashing down upon the warning
Hill men. The globes were broken, and
streams of white electricity shot out
from the carbon points.
In twinkllng every one in the build
ing was on his feet and almost everyone
was making tracks for the exits. The
delegates tumbled wildly over one
another, each one striving to get as far
away from the scene as possible i'll the
shortest space of time. The bandmaster
appeared to have his presence of mind
with him, for under his direction the
music Immediately started i'll with a
lively air. Cries of ''Sit down, sit
down." Take your seats" Don't be
blank fools" and various other admOnl-
tionS rose above the fearful cries of the
flying multitude.
The police and the segeantS-at-arms
rallied at once in the cause of order.
Men and women were seized, and with
no gentle hands, were planted in their
seats and held there. A number of the
delegates seized other delegates and re-
quired them to take their seats. A wild
surge of humanity which broke over
the newspaper platform was promptly
met by the warriors of the pencil, and
was rolled back and held i'll its place
until its component parts regained their
senses. AT length the. panic was re,
duced and the convention proceeded
with its business

CHANGING THE VOTES.
Led by Iowa, the States Flock to
Stevenson.

Stevenson.
When the roll was finished, the fig
ureS showed Stevenson ahead, but no
choice. Then began the changes.

man, at the request of Col. WatersOn,
of Kentucky, Iowa withdrawS her
twenty-six votes tor him. and wishes
the vote changed to twenty-six votes
for Stevenson. of Illinois. (CrieS of
good, good and loud applause.)
Montana. Nebraska, Nevada, Ohio
and Oregon each in turn changed to
Stevenson. When the chairman of the
Missouri delegation obtained the floor
the widest excitement enSued as he
changed the thirty-four votes of that
state for Stevenson. Georgia changing
her twenty-six votes to Stevenson
caused a fresh howl of excitement from
the convention, which at this moment
was scarcely better than mob.
Tennessee hastily followed in the
wake of the other states and cast her PA
votes solid for Stevenson. Kentucky
asked if her vote had been recorded for
Stevenson, and upon the chairman of
the convention answering in the mega
tive, that delegation recorded her 26
votes for the faYOritc son of Illinois.
Texas came to the front Immediately
thereafter with 80 votes solid for Steven
son

majority being in favor of Isaac T..

for Isaac p. Gray" Applause.
When Missouri was called the chair
man of that delegation said. 1.-The Mis-
souri, delegation was instructed to vote
as a Unit, but they were unable to give
amajOrity a to any one of these candi-
dates. Therefore each will receive the
individual vote as given by the various
members of the Missouri delegation.
When Montana was reached TWO new
candidates were sprung in the persons
Of w. Bourke Cochran, of New York,
who got nine votes, and Judge Lam
bert Tree, of Illinois, who received one.
When New York was reached and
Gov. Flower cast seyeDty-twO votes
for Stevenson, there was tremendous
cheering and an evident attempt to
stampede the convention for Stevenson,
the ILLINOIS delegation standing up,
shouting and waving their hats. The
attempt, however. was failure, tor the
chair held them down with his gavel
and his voice, and the ebuilition sub
sided. Nick Bell shouted ''hold on
now, boys" and the convention, which
acknowledges him as its real master,
settled down into silence.
North Carolina Immediately trailed
On with twenty-five for Stevenson, and
the yelling was renewed.

The Convention Rises With the

The confusion became so great for
time that the chair refused to listen to
or recognize any of the delegates, but
tai. man with a very black beard
shouted louder than all the rest and at
tracted the attention of the chairman.
1t was Cole, of Ohio, and he said:
1 move that the rules be suspended and
that Gen. Adiai E. Stevenson be nominated
by acclamat:on.
Loud applause greeted this motion,
and the delegates all over the hall
seemed impatient that the question be
put. III the midst of the excitement
MIR. Hensel, of Pennsylvania. who was
standing on the platform in front of the
presiding officer, seconded the motion.
The Chairman-Hon Adlai E. Steven
enSon, of Illinois, having already re-
eeived two-thirdS of the votes of this
convention, it is moved by Mr.. Cole, of
Ohio, and seconded by Mr. HenSel, of
Pennsylvania, that the rules be suS
pended and he be declared by acclama-
tiOn the nominee of this convention for
vice president. All in favor of that
motion will say aye.
A great chorus of ayes greeted this
invitation OF the chair, and the chair at
once declared the motion unanimously
adopted.

CHICAGO, June 23.-NeSer again will
a Democratic national convention be
held in Chicago unless the local authOri-
ties will undertake to provide better ae-
commodations and better weather.
Never was a convention held under
more disagreeable auspices, and COM
par ison with the surroundings at Min
neapolis makes the former absolutely
odious. There was that great barn of
wigwam crowded with 10000 steaming,
perspiring men and women, not over a
half of whom could hear the voices
from the rear and the floor of the con-
vention. When closed up to prevent
the drenching rain from drowning out
the crowd the place was dark as a
pocket and hot as Turkish bath.
At best, the rain could not be kept out.
1t drifted in through cracks and holes.
and spattered and splashed over every
body. Umbrellas were always up and
there was never time when there was
not wall of disgust from some quarter.
The press accommodations were holy
terror. Occupants OF press seats could
see, but they could neither hear nor
write. In this respect. the comparison
with Minneapolis was positively pain
full.
Finally. Chicago must provide better
weather. This is the only place in
America where it rains hot water.
The drenching storms scalded
as they fell and they fell
all the time. There has been no day
for week in which it has not rained
almost continually. Between storms
the sun burst out in fiery power and
sent the mercury careering through the
nineties, causing roasting, sealding.
burning, Streaming vapor' to fill the air
constantly. When night came it was
worse than ever. for it was hotter than
ever. The political storms of the week,
added to the meteorological conditions,
made Chicago simply terrible. Men
with no very distinct ideas of hell have
had their imaginations considerably
frightened up during the past eventful
week.
