THE SILVER MEN IN CONTROL.

The Proceedings of the Democratic Ma
tional Convention at Its First Days
Session. ---Silver Delegates Show Their
Power by Rejecting the National Com
mittee's Temporary Chairman, Hill.
CHICAGO, July ya-The Democratic National
Convention held its first session yesterday,
ana after effecting temporary organlzatloh
adjourned for the day. Senator Hill, OF Ne"
York, was presented as the choice OF the
National Committee for Temporary Chair
man. and Senator Daniel, OF Virginia, was
put forward for the same pace by the silver
men. After long debate Senator Daniel
was elected by a vote Of $50 to S49. The
address of the Temporary Chairman was
then delivered and the usual Committees ap-
pointed.
The convention met in the Coliseum near
the Worlds Fair Grounds. It is seven miles
from the center of Chicago, and therefore
the delegates and $1,000 spectators OF the
proceedings OF the convention had quite
railroad ride before they reached their des-
t1nation.

After the Columbian Worlds Fair. the
Chicago Coliseum Is the largest idea that the
metropolis of the lakes has evolved: Its
length, breadth and thickness are enormous,
aud its seating capacity Is so gr, at that al
though less than three-quarterS Of its floor
space Is utilized for this convention, there
has been found place for IA 900 people, seated
in comfortable chairs. The arrangements of
the delegates, alternates, Invited guests and
spectators, and especially for the press, were
admirable. Everybody could hear and see
the speakers upon the platform, the reading
clerk and the presiding officer. The platform
for the presiding officer, secretaries and
clerks Is In the centre Of the building looking
to the west. It Is elevated some six feet from
the flooring, with some hundreds of chairs
ranged back of it for distinguished Wis
itors, ard with desks tor reporters
and newspaper correspondents stretch
ing IN four terraces on either hand.
The interior of the building is gay with
bunting. The girders which support the
roof, and all other objects that lead them
selves to that style Of adonment are also
covered with bunting. The National flag Is
hung, in many editions, from the roof the
whole length from north to south. Over the
platform is displayed on large canvas
picture of the American Eagle, holding In
his beak ribbon with the scroll Pluribus
Unum. and with his talons resting (rather
unnaturally) on the coat-of-arms OF the
United States, the flag being gathered in
graceful folds at each Of the upper corners.
To the right and left are hung the coats-of-
