with favor. and there seemed to be a
possibility of this being the solution of
the question. The determination of the
Indiana delegation to put Shively in the
field caused a little diversion during a
part of the day, but Mr. Shively distinctly
stated this evening that he was not a
candidate and would not be. AS to the
action of the Indiana delegation he said
that after what he had told them there
was no reason for the belief that he

not yet ready to report, and another ad-
journment was taken until $50 p. NJ.
1t remained for the night session to
bring the most remarkable demonstration
of the entire day. Again the great struc-
ture was invaded by thousands and the
moving picture took on new glories of
color, amid the glare of many electric
lights. For the first hour the proceedings
were formal and profitless, but when at
the close Of the speech of Permanent
Chairman Richardson, he paid a glowing
tribute to William J. Bryan pandemonium
broke loose and the historic scene of
Bryan's nomination at Chicago was re-
peated, even exceeded, in a frenzied dem
onstration lasting half an hour
Outside of the formal proceedings of
the day interest was conferred in the
action of the Platform committee AS
the evening advanced it became known
that determin %, struggle was in pro-
gress, involving not only the question
of Incorporating specific Is to / declara-
ton in the party declaration, but to some
extent involving the desires of the pros
pective nominee as to the terms of the
platform. The outcome is awaited with
absorbing interest as the chief develop
ment OF tomorrow.

was to be the hero of the convention, for
another such demonstration, at an oppor-
tune time, might carry the convention
off its feet and place him on the ticket
with Bryan in spite of all contrary calcu-
latiOn.
The routine proceedings were quickly
disposed of. But even in this there was
opportunity to give further tribute to the
New Yorker, and when Judge Van Wyck's
name was called as the New York member
of the Platform committee, a tremendous
call for Hill, mingled with Kisses for
those who opposed him, greeted the an
nouncement With the committees ap-
pointed there was nothing to do but TO
await their reports and the convention
took recess at 2:30 until four As the
delegates filed out of the hall they pressed
around Senator Hill, who for half an
hour was the center of an enthusiastic
personal greeting from individual dele
gates. At 4 o'clock the committees were

Altgeld Speaks for 16 to /.
(By the Associated Prcss.)

Kansas City Mo, July Amid scenes
of tumultuoUs enthusiasm beftting such
an event and such a day, the Democratic
National convention began its sessions
But after sitting until a late hour to-
night the expected climax of the day
the nomination of William J. Bryan as
the Democratic candidate for President
has failed of realization, and all of the
larger business of the convention awaits

He bowed and smiled and his lips moved
to address the Chairman. But as we'll
might he have addressed Niagara for the
waves of tumultous sound drowned every
thing and he dropped back in his seat.
When the delegates had time to think
they began to ask each other if Hill

GOVERNOR ALTGELD SPEAKS.

Just as Governor Altgeld began to
speak, the tall form of Congressman Sui
ger came stalking through the aisle. 1t
was his first appearance on the floor, and
although the recipient of no applause
he was cordially greeted by many of the
delegates as he passed them. When he
reached the Iowa delegation, seated Ill
rectly in the rear of New York. Cato
Sells rose to shake hands with him and
instantly there was a group around the
tall New Yorker, all shaking hands with
him and patting him on the shoulder.
From the New York delegation, however,
Mr.. SUlzer received no recognition, no
handshake no smile. He took appar
emily as little interest in New York as
New York evinced in him. and although
he nodded Familiarity to several of the
delegates, he sper> 60 time with them.
During the early portion of Governor
Altgelds address the hum of converse
tion in the galleries and among the dele
gates was so loud that not much of what
he said was audible, except to those
close to him. The name of Mark Hanna,
uttered in accents which did not imply
approval was the first thing the crowd
at large caught and although not many
knew just what missile had been hurled or
whether it hit the mark, there was a
howl of delight.
HE IS FOR THE HISTORIC RATIO.
His representations of Democratic
success next fall were the signal for
another vocal spasm, when he de-
clared that if the Democrats of the
country had not sufficient confidence in
their delegates to entrust the cause of
Democracy to them, they would not have
sent them here to nominate a candidate
for the Presidency. This coming from
man Of Governor. Altgeld's known atti-
tude upon the silver question was taken
by the 16 to / advocates as a direct cham
piOnship of their cause, and they were
on their feete in an instant, shouting and
waving hats and handkerchiefs with
the greatest enthusiasm. So loud was
the cheering that the speaker was COM
PEELED TO suspend his remarks until the
uproar had subsidized. 1t came again in
minute, however, when he declared that
any modification OF the Chicago platform
would place the Democratic party in
ridiculous position before the American
people. Again his voice was drowned for
a few minutes while the advocates OF
10 to / voiced their approval in cheers
audible beyond the walls.

man Jones looked out upon when at noon,
after beating a tattoo with his gayel he
stilled the tumult and declared the con-
ventiOn open. About him were fully 25,00G
people, rising tier on tier like the specta-
tors in some vast coliseum awaiting the
appearance of the delegates of the party,
while en- either side stretched away the
rows of desks accommodating representa-
tives Of the press from every section OF
the country.

hats were in oasis of duller hue. 1t
was a gathering none the less inspired
with the patriotic spirit of the day, which
found constant expression in wild hur-
rahs at every sound of Dixie" or Amer
lea" In the body of delegates were the
best known men of the party many of
then of national reputation. In front of
them sat Governor John Walter Smith,
OF Maryland and his delegation Along
side of them were the notable New York
ers, Richard Croker Murphy and Van
Wyck TO the right was the classic face
of Daniel of Virginia, while back of him
sat Arthur SewaH of Maine and ex-Sena-
tor White, of California, conferred
with him across the aisle. To
the left hand OF the Mass
achusetts delegation was it's intrepid
young leader, George Fred Williams. Near
him was Governor Mcmillan of Tennes-
see, and the tall, gaunt, Clay-like figure
of Richardson, soon to be permanent
chairman of the convention.
AGAIN THEY CHEER FOR HILL
With the Kentuckians sat their youthful
Governor, Beckham, accompanied by SEN
ator Blackburn and Ex-Governor McCrea-
ry. Senator Hill was late TO come upon
the scene. The great audience had been
eagerly awaiting him and his entrance
was the signal for the first real ovation
of the day. He found no place re-
served among the Croker Murphy digni-
taries in the forefront of the delegation
and contented himself with a seat far in

TWO LADY ALTERNATES.
Sitting with the Mississippi delegation
was a white haired lady alternate, Mrs
W. j. Brown, of that State, and further
back sat Mrs. ]. n Cohen, another lady
alternate from Salt Lake City. The first
Democratic episode of the day occurred
| after Campau, of Michigan, had secured
| the adoption of a resolution for the read
| ing of the Declaration Of independence. As
| the reading was about to begin, two
| attendants pushed up to the platform

that cleaned from dizzy heights about
the hall like huge stars
The color scheme presented among the

of the national colorS were fiuttering
gaily in the delightful breeze that swept
through the hall from the south, tenn
pering pleasantly the heat of the night.
Banked in the commodious galleries

of the men making pretty but not sharp

nearly every man spectator was in his

vast.
Nearly an hour before the convention
was called to order the spectators seats
were filed. Hundreds of persons, indeed,
had remained in the hall from the after
noon session.
AS the delegates slowly assembled, the
people in the great ampitheatre accorded
the leaders one after anothr cordial re-
ceptions.

WINGED at every blow as though it had

Thomas at last succeeded in restoring the
convention to such state of quietude
that his voice could be heard hundred

There was still too much noise for the

mounted the rostrum. Again by the Wig

gained largely upon the noise and then

nouncement was greeted with applause.

market had to undergo the stress OF
realizing profits, the sequence OF yes

ward movement were sufficiently i'm
pressive to attract considerable de
mand for stocks and during the first
hour stocks saw very active trading,
with very small fluctuations in prices
after the opening, which was made
higher to facilitate the taking of prof
its. The general demand was judicl-
ously fed by professional operators in
order not to discourage buying, but be-
| fore the end of the first hour an I'M
preston began to be made in the rail-
road list When prices fell back to
about last nights level the selling
pressure was relaxed. The bulls then
turned their attention to other quart

actively wherever signs of strength
showed, in order to support the mark

A "Sick" Constable.

VINELAND. Feb. 2O.-Taylor Mathis, a
sort of misfit, bargain counter constable
of this borough, was locked up as joke
last night. The joke was that couple of
citizens found Mathis unconscious, lying
on the pavement. When reused up he
said he was ''sick," and wanted to be left
alone. His sickness" had every symp-
tom OF a good sized 'ginger jag" and he
was loaded into wheelbarrow, his keys
taken from his pocket, and he was in
carcerated in the lookup.
When he came to this morning he was
considerably improved. but had ''big
head" He has not yet been removed
from the force, but his kind of sickness
don't make him a safe officer by any
means Twenty or thirty days in Jail
some times has the effect of helping such
ailments. Maybe gold cure would do
him more good.
