His audience was about equally composed

St. Louis. June 17.-Long before the
hour for the convention to convene for
the afternoon session the galleries be
gan to iii up but the delegates and al
ternates We're slow in arriving There
was a general anticipation that at this
session, the most serious work of the
convention would begin.
The air was full of rumors that the
silver men had thrown off the mask in
the committee on resolutions and had
formally announced their intention of
boiling The little cloud that has hung
over the horizon OF the convention, no
larger than a mans hand, is growing
hourly more OminOus and there was a
general appreciation Of the fact that
when it broke, the oratorical lightning
would flash and the thundrs Of elo-
quence would roll.
The spectators looked forward with
interest to the spectacular display Tt
would, many declared, be a fierce thun-
der storm, which would clear the at
mOsphere and leave the issues upon
which the campaign is to be fOush
later, the more clearly defined.
All of the work of the convention
except the nomination, it was believed
would be cleared up at this session. BY
? O'Clock the galleries were solid walls
of people and the delegates were again
crOWding their way to the floor.
The ergeant-at-arnls' assistants
buzzed like bees in all directions, look
ing after the comfort of the vast audi
ence. The heat was somewhat op-
pressive this afternoon and all the dele
gates had armed themselves with broad
palm leaf fans. The spectators also
were similarly armed and the cOnven-
ton hall, with these waving fans, re-
sembled nothing so much as vast field
of waving grain, running to abruptly
rising hills on every side and dotted
everywhere with light and color
Throughout the hau rolled dull
hOarse roar that hangs over a great
convention of people, as it does over a
great busting city. COnSpicuOusly
seated on the platform this afternoon
were Col. and Mrs. Fred Grant and
Senator Carey of Wyoming. Several
members Of the national committee this
afternoon Wore the tri-colOred plumes,
which so long distinguished the follow
ers of the "Plumed Knight"
A great floral shield made Of brilliant
American Beauty roses and rich inn
mOrtelIes gTaced the platform. The
band during the assembly discOursed
lively and patriotic airs. Marching

from the galleries that fairly made the
rafters ring.
