The business of the convention was to

semblies, and for an hour after that time
the thousands of spectators were enter
tanned more pleasantly with musical Sc
lections, interspersed with choruses, per-
formed by an excellent band stationed in
the gallery back of the platform.
There were but few demonstrations In
recognition of public favorites as they
entered the hall. One of them was started
with not much spirit or enthusiasm-for
Bryan, of Nebraska, "the boy orator of
the Platte" who, with his fellow silver
delegates from that state, had gained a
point by the report of the committee on
credentials admitting them and excluding
their gold contestants.
At 1O:45 none of the New York delegates
had made their appearance, and it was
understood that the reason for this delay
on their part was that they were then
in caucus on the momentous question
whether or not they should attend any
more sessions of the convention.

Blackburn Makes n Speech.
He said the democratic party had opened
the campaign In splendid style. They
had swept over the skirmsh line, and their
further duty was plain. Let US declare
we are to promulgate a platform that
shall not obscure or defect public attention
from the one great issue upon which the
campaign was to turn; that we mean to
unlock the doors of the minis and put
silver back where 1t was before [cheersl.
Let us declare further that we do not APP
prove of the issue OF interest bearing
bonds in the time of peace, or of giving the
option of purchase to the man holding the
obligation, and that we oppose the re-
tirement of the greenbacks."
All these points were loudly cheered. He
closed by advising them to be temperate

them. The minority expected to submit
their views for the consideration Of the
convention In any event.
A desultory but somewhat exciting dis
cussion followed, a willingness being ex-
pressed on the part of the majority to hear
the minority views, II Senator Hill desired
to present them. He, however, decided
that 1t was not desirable, involving as 1t
would some additional time and double
statement of them to the committee and
to the convention.
The reading of the platform was then re-
sumed.

the chairman to report the platform to the
convention. The vote was given viva voce.
No division was demanded, but Chairman
Jones had to put the question'twice before
