galleries seemed to rise as man and the
waving Of hats and newspapers and every
thing at hand that could be made conspic.
nous rose and fell all over the hall. The
attempts of the chair to still the tumult
were unavailable. and although most OF
the delegates resumed their seats after
several minutes of cheering, the galleries
would not be quiet and yelled and shouted
with hearty goodwill.

senator from South Carolina he would

Without intending to especially reply to
the remarks Of the distinguished senator
from South Carolina, he would only say
that it was waste Of time for him to as

know that 1t was South Carolina that In
1860 attempted to destroy the Union.

Convention Hall, Chicago, July 10.-The
days session Of the Democratic national
conventional opened in torrid heat. I'M
tempered by any Of the cooling breezes
which had hithertofore favored the gath
erinE. 1t was, Of course, idle to expect
that after adjourning In the small hours
Of the morning, riding nine miles home in
overcrowded cars, and not getting to bed
before Q or 3 o'clock a. m. that the dele
gates would be promptly on hand for q 10
o'clock session.
The gallery occupants were on hand
promptly, in full force, and quite prepared
to take charge OF proceedings as they did
repeatedly yesterday. They voted solidly
against adjournment yesterday and are
evidently determined to have the worth
Of their money today.
Chicago has earned the distinction not
only Of building the biggest convention
hall in the world, but also of furnishing
the largest and noisest crowd Of specta-
tors.
There were not q dozen Of the New
York delegates in their seats when the
proceedings opened. Mr.. Whitney was
there, but Senator Hill was conspicuously
absent, Senator Hill holds to the opinion
that two-thirds of the quorum of this
convention is competent to nominate q
candidate. Should there be any dispute
remedy which Is found in the rules Of the
house of representatives. A report from
the committee or rules Is always In order
and If it becomes necessary a report will
be made by that committee abrogating
the two-thirds rule and providing for a
nomination by a majority only. It is be-
lieved that this latter plan will not be
necessary.
At five minutes before II Senator White,
OF California, the permanent chairman,
took the chair and made an effort to es-
tablish some degree Of quiet and order in
the hall. After Ave minutes devoted to
that purpose with very little success pray
er was offered by Rev. DR.. Green OF Grace
Episcopal church, Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
the same clergyman who officiated the
last two days.
After prayer the chair Immediately rec
oEnized Mr.. Harrity, Of Pennsylvania,
who. standing in the main aise, was greet
ed with cheers.
He said: II desire to say that In obedi-
ence TO the instructions given by the Dem
ocratic state convention, the Pennsylva-
MIA delegation presents the name Of Rob-
ert e. Pattison, Of Pennsylvania, as cam
dldate for the presidency.
The chair asked II there were any other
nomina tions.
Mr.. Mattingly. Of the District Of Column
bia, from his place In the rear Of the hall,
seconded the nomination of that peerless
champion of free silver, that true Demo-
ocratic friend Of labor. John r. Mclean,
of Ohio.
Mr.. Miller, or Oregon, on behalf Of that
state, nominated ex-Gov. Sylvester Pen
meyer.
No other names being presented, the
