National Association OF Democratic
Clubs.

|
st. Louis, Oct. 3.-This was the open
ing day of the quadrennial convention of
the National Association of Democratic
clubs.
The delegates began arriving yesterday
and have been pouring in on every road.
All the morning they gathered in the lob
bies of the hotels, where curb-stone
orators shouted with enthusiastic energy.
At 1890 O'Clock the delegates and Wis
itors began to assemble at the Auditorium,
where the convention is held
An hour later, President 9. F. Black
called the meeting to order. At least
1850 delegates were present and the vast
hall was we'll filed with visitors.
When blessing had been invoked, the
Jefferson Glee club of several hundred
voices sang the national anthem, "Amer-
ioa," in which the audience joined.
When the applause had died away,
President Black delivered the q adrennial
address.
Mr.. Black declared that the cause
Democracy was supporting was of no
class and of no section, but Of all classes
and all parts of the country. He then en-
tered into discussion of the money
question and concluded by denouncing
Mark Hanna and the moneyed power.
MIR. Black was frequently interrupted
by applause.
WOE PRESIDENT STEVENSON SPEAKS.
When he finished he introduced Vice
President Stevenson, who SAID in part:
believing as do that gold and silver
find equal recognition in the constitution
of the United States, that by their joint
use in effecting exchanges and perform
ing the other functions of money we
have prospered in the past, and that the
evil days that have now befallen US are in
no small measure the result of the dem on
etizatlon of silver, have no hesitation
in maintaining my party allegiance and
casting my vote for Bryan and Sewall;
while deeply regret that many of those
with whom have been associated in for
mer contests now oppose the election of
candidates nominated in accordance with
the time. .honored methods and usages Of
the Democratic party.
"Without questioning their sincerity
the inquiry is significant, what is there
in the attitude Of the Demo ,ratic party
upon the monetary question to justify
its abandonment by those who long
shared in it's councils and who have been
the recipients of its rewards and its hon
ors. A belief in cheap money is no part
of Democratic doctrine. It is q part Of
our creed that the dollar unit of coinage
of both metals must be of equal intrinsic
exchangeable value. We believe in spch
safeguards Of legislation as shall insure
the maintenance of the parity of the two
metals and tho equal power Of every dol
lar at all times in the markets and in the
payment of debts"
| WELCOMED BY GOV. STONE.
When Woe President Stevenson finish
cd, Gov. Stone, of Missouri was intro
duced. He excused himself from making
an extended speech, as he had contracted
a severe cold. He did not think speech
necessary. All Democrats knew that they
were welcome to the old state of Missouri.
He then proceeded formally to welcome
the delegates.
Then Congressman Newlands, OF Ne
vads, addressed the convention on the
silver question.
