cratic Convention held a session Of just
one hour and eighteen minutes today
and adjourned until tomorrow
morning without affecting per-
manent organization. It was FREQ
silver from the moment ex-senator

porary chairman. His first utteranccs In
favor OF Bryan and sewall and the restor-
alton OF silver were greeted with tImul-
tuous applause which showed plainly

and Sewall and the Chicago platform, Of
ferod by }. w. Rdgway. of Kings, was
greeted with cheers but under the rules

mite on Resolutions. The latter body
put in several hours work and agreed 10

Just how much this action may aid tho
Democratic National ticket IS n question.
