The playful late summer zephyrs that

windows OF new Turner hall yesterday

frages of the great unterrifed Democ-
racy. Mingled with the throng OF
patriots were many ladies, who lent
irridescent color and elasticity to the
political cosmos.
SOME FAMILIAR FACES.
There were many familiar faces on the
floor of the convention, while the gal
lery was fringed with the heads of the
henchmen of the many candidates.
al
yanke OF the Democracy who were in
violence were Judge Mitchell, Martin
9. Marsh, ex-senator Del Vale, Jose

Brooks, ex-Mayor Workman. Andrew
McNally, Henry P. Wilson, Ed Gibson.
Charles F. A. Last, Judge Ryan, Telfair

mention.
TIE ladies occupied conspicuous seats
aide with Brobdignagian portraits of
James II. Budd and William I. Jeters
Mrs. Kate Upper Galpn, the persever-
ing candidate for county echool superin-
sendent. occupied seat in the center OF
jhe stage, surrounded by coterie OF her
feminine adherents, who were resping
,he benefits of their erstwhile object les
pons in politics by keeping up an inter
nittent Communication with numerous
delegates who paid visits to the wings Of
the stage.
The morning session was an unevent-
'ul one. The only incident of especial
note was the motion of Col. ]. Marion
Brooks, who cast q sardonic smile on
his c5nfrercs when the convention, after
having voted down his proposition for
come additional outpourings from the
committee on platform, were constrained
20 take the back track and endorse the
}tate platform and the policy of Presi-
dent Grover Cleveland, and expstiate on
)ther matters of more or less moment.
IN A LIVELY MOOD.
The convention got into q lively mood
at the afternoon session. ard there were
several sensational scenes. When Col
,nel Brooks started in to talk in favor
OF his resolution on the right of appeal
in federal courts in contempt cases. the
convention was mapiiestly against him,
but by quoting Jefferson and talking
down the crowd he gained the day. The
anita. P. A. resolutions introduced,
which have no uncertain sound, raised
hurricane of enthusiasm that lasted
for fully five minutes. One of the atrik-
ing contrasts of the day was the tumult
and storm and impending battle which
greeted J.. Marion Brooks when he
sought the privilege of the floor
carried. Senator del Vale jumped up,
with the FIRE of battle in his eyes and
the fame of Castilian blood surging
through his veins, to throw down the
gage OF war, 1t was like typical scene
between Roderick Dhu and Fitz James.
1.-THE life blood thrilled with sudden start,
He manned himself with oauntless air;
Returned the chief mis- naughty stare,
His back against a rock he bore,
And firmly placed h 8 foot before
Come one, come ALI This rock shall q =
From its firm base as soon as l."
QUICK CONTRAST.
Some friend leaned over the aisle
and whispered to Mr.. del Vale the
purpors of his antagonists mission. 1t
was to announce the death of that great
Californian, Don Pho Pico. Instantly
Mr.. del Vale was on the floor with the
characteristics courtesy OF his race, and
when he withdrew his point of order in
saddened but clear tones and claimed
the privilege of unin terrupted audience
Tor his adversary the great hall was still
ls the white death that had embodied the
old Californian.
The introduction OF a resolution de-
nounoing lynch law in the south by a
colored delegate from the Seventh ward
for moment raised furry, but the
amendment was adopted by . unani-
nous vete.
OPEN FOR BUSINESS.
