CHICAGO, July 9.-Ten acres of peo-
pie on the sloping sides of the Coliseum
today saw the silver -helmeted gladia-
tors in the arena overpower the gold
phalanx ard plant the banner of silver
upon the ramparts of Democracy.
They saw what may prove the disrup-
tion Of a great political party, amid
scenes of enthusiasm such as have
never before occurred in a national
convention. They saw 10000 people,
with imagination inf1amed by the burr
ing words of passionate oratory,
swayed like wind-swept fields; they
heard the awful roar of 10000 voices
burst like volcano against the rever-
berating dome overhead; they saw a
man carried upon the shoulders of
others, intoxicated with enthusiasm,
amid tumult and turbulence; they lis
tened to appeals, to threats, to cries for
mercy, and finally they watched the
jubilant majority seal it's victory and
the vanquished stalk forth into the
daylight.
The battle for the supremacy of
Democratic principles was fought in a
session that lasted from ii o'clock in
the morning until shortly before 5
o'clock in the afternoon. Each side sent
its champions to the forum. Senator
Tillman, of South Carolina; Senator
Jones, of Arkansas; ex-Congressman
William Jennings Bryan, of Nebraska,
crossed swords with Senator Hill, Of
New York; Senator Villas, of Wiscon-
sin, and ex-Gov. Russell, of Massa-
chusetts.
The. sinister looking senator from the
state of Calhoun, with his eye blazing
defiance at an audience which mani
tested it's unfriendliness by a storm Of
Kisses, opened the debate with wildly
passionate speech, in which he affirmed
that the battle for the restoration Of
silver was a war of emancipation of
the white slaves, as the war Of 1861
had been one for the emancipation Of
the black slaves. Disruption of the
Democratic party had brought about
one, and he invited another disruption
if it would result in this emancipation
He went to the extreme In glorying
in the suggestion presented, that the
issue was sectional one, a declaration
which aroused the resentment of SEN
ator Jones and he repudiated it in a
brief speech which aroused the first
demonstration of the day. Even the

quest. Clerk Charles Perry registered

She was assigned to room Il.
Later a man giving the name of f..
NJ Douglass called and inquired for

no woman of that name was nj the ho-
tel, but that woman answering the
description had registered under the
name of Mrs Abbott. Bath. Douglass

that the woman was about to be con-
fined.
