REVIEW OF SESSION
Story Of Yesterdays Proceedings

THE IOWA DELEGATE CAUCUS
Oolngs OF the Big Convention In Detail
From the Courier's Special Corr
respondent at Kansas City
Hill Demonstration.

Kansas City, July Especial Cor
respondence.) "A surprise, firecrack-
er thrown into the New York delega-
ton, a movement which, if carried out,
might have been rebuke to Croker,
the Tammany king, and an assurance
to David B. Hill that he still had
friends, and plenty of them in the
democratic party, was the unexpected
which happened at the opening session
of the democratic national convention
today. For fully twenty minutes the
convention stood on it's feet, on other
peoples feet, on chairs, desks, tables
and ratings, threw hats in the air,
waved flags, banners, shouted, yelled,
screamed, whistled and Missed for the
New Yorker. All the time this demon
stration was going on Mr.. Fill was
quietly seated in the New York delega-
ton, with a placid smile on his face,
while Mr.. Croker, a few seats away,
managed to frown a little as the dem
onstration grew and grew and the con-
vention would not be silent. The chair
tried to get Mr.. Hill to come to the
platform and the Alabama delegation
offered to carry him on their should
ers, but he would not go. He had been
vindicated by the democracy at large
for the slur cast upon him by the turn
down he received from Croker.
This was the only thing of interest
of the two sessions this morning and
afternoon. If it is to be taken as any
criterion, there is hardly any doubt
but that David B. Hill, of New York
can have the vice presidency if he will
accept. But he probably will not. An
other thing of interest in the conven
ton is that the features that are plan
ned generally fall fiat and something
unexpected takes place. The centra
committee had planned surprise
which it thought would bring dowr
