lot Of delegates from seats to which they
were entitled.
Mr.. Richardson now announced that
the platform committee was not ready
to report, and, pending word from them,
he invited to the platform eX-Gov Hogg,
of Texas. to address the convention. The
Texan advanced to the front and was
greeted enthusiastically. He was in good
voice and his words reyerberated through
the hall When he declared that the
party did not propose to surrender one
iota of its attitude in 1896, as promul-
gated by the Chicago convention, there
was round after round of cheers. But
this broke into a whilWind of approving
shouts when the governor asserted that
the party's platform must contain an un-
equiVocal and specific declaration for 16
TO l. 1t was noticeable that the dele
gates joined with the body of spectators
in the tribute to the 16 to l idea. Gov.
Hogg arraigned the action of the present
administration in the Philippines and on
foreign affairs generally-its subserviency
to trusts. He closed with a prediction
that a platform appealing to the people
for a correction of the existing evils
would bring victory in November.
CALLS FOR HILL.
At the termination Of Gov Hogg's ad-
dress, Chairman Richardson stepped for
Ward- TO say a lew words to Sergeant-at-
Arms Martin, and the crowd took ad-
vantage of the opportunity to start the
cry of Hill" 1t came from all quarters
OF the galleries, but practically little of
1t from the delegates. Mingled with the
calls We're Kisses. Chairman Richardson
welded his gavel vigorously, and when
order was restored in some degree, an
nounced: Gentlemen: I have the honor
to introduce to you Hon. A. NJ. Dockery,
Missouri's favorite SON."
Mr.. Dockery was warmly received, and
his prompt attack upon the conduct of the
Republican administration for its man
agement of the Philippine question was
greeted with the usual demonstrations Of
applause. His assurances that Bryan
would be the next president of the United
States and his condemnation of another
alliance between this country and Eng
land, received the same enthusiastic re-
ception and cries of "Hurrah for Dock
cry from the Missouri delegation. His
appeal for harmony 'along the fundamen-
tai principles" met with cheer, and when
minute later, he said: Gentlemen, get

including imperialism, miitarism, Cuba.
the Philippines and Porto Rico, occupy
fully half of the declaration, beginning
with an assertion of their paramount and
supreme Importance, and declaring that
while other issues are vital the ques-
ton of imperialism strikes at the ex-
istence of the republic
A change was also decided upon in the
declaration regarding the Chicago plat
form, and the coinage of silver. This
declaration is placed well down in the
body of the platform, and the language
Is changed considerably. The introduce
tory phrase of this declaration as orig
fnally presented was changed by striking
out the words I'VE reafirm the Chicago
platform in whole and In part, and in
letter and in spirit" and it is made to
read as follows:
We reafflrm and indorse the principles
of the platform adopted by the Democ-
racy in convention assembled in 1885,
This is followed by a positive declara-
ton for free coinage of the precious met
ais, and this in turn by a strong de-
nunciation of the gold standard Iegisla-
ton of the last congress.

against 16 to announced its decision not
to carry the matter into the convention,
their determination weakened, and they
ultimately decided to drop the matter.
This they did not do however, without
many protests.
Mr.. Daley said that he was instructed
by his delegation against any concur
renee in the report of the majority and
that whether minority report were pre-
scented or not he would not sign the re-
port for 16 to L
Senator Money presented a tabulated
statement showing that the votes cast
for the ratio represented only III out Of $50
votes in the convention. He said, how
ever, that his state had given him free
rein to act as he might think wisest.
New York decided early in the morn
ing not to unite in any minority presen-
tation, and this decision had a strong
influence upon determining the decision
to avoid a presentation of the minority
views.
Hon. George Fred Williams, one
of the most prominent contestants, gives
the credit for the turning of the tide
to Committeeman Freeks, of North Da-
kota, who came over to the ratio view
at the last moment.
The subcommittee gave brief hear
Ing today to Mrs. Gait, president of the
Equal Suffrage association. in favor of a
plank recommending an amendment to
the constitution forbidding disfranchise-
ment Of citizens on account OF sex.
PLATFORM DRAFT PRESENTED.
When the full committee convened at
II o'clock the subcommittee presented a
complete draft of the platform as tenta-
lively agreed upon last night While
there was no criticism of the work of
the subcommittee or OF the general SEN
timent of the various planks, several of
the members manifested a disposition to
make changes in the phraseoIogy, and
also in the order of presenting the various
subjects to be embodied in the declara-
ton of principles.
The members who had led the fight
against a 16 to 1 explicit declaration as
of superior Importance attaching to
other than the financial ISSUE and the
silver men, decided to make this issue.
In accordance with the decision, the place
Of front rank was given to the subject
of imperialism and to questions growing
out of the Spanish war. These subjects,

The plank agreed upon is as fol-
lows:
we rciterate the demand Of the
platform of 1896 for and American
financial system, made by the Amer
lean people for themselves, which
snail restore and maintain a BIZ
metallic price level; and as part of
such system the immediate restora-
ton of the free and unlimited coin
age of silver and gold at the pres
ent legal ratio of 16 to / without
waiting for the aid or consent of any
other nation
The committee on platform did not re-
convene today until II o'clock. They
had adjourned at o'clock with the in
tention of getting together at 10, but the
all-night vigil proved quite trying for
some of the members of the committee
and they were slow in collecting.
OPPONENTS WORKED HARD.
The time Previous to the formal meet
ing was utilized by most leaders in last
nights fight against the 16 to l move
ment, in an effort TO reach a decision
as to whether a majority report should
be presented. There were several con-
ferences, in which Mr.. st. Clair, of West
Virginia; Senator Monroe, Of Mississippi.
and Mr.. Daley, of New Jersey, were the
principal participants These three mem
bers were at first quite disposed to in
sist upon the formal presentation of the
views of the minority, but as one vote

a yell went UP chiefly from the silver DEL
egations.
Talk this way little" shouted a
Georgia delegate.
81 can't talk every way" replied the
speaker.
Then talk this way a little" shouted
the Georgian.
The first mention of Dewey's name since
the opening Of the convention was made
by Dockery while discussing the Philip
pine question, but the name of the famous
admiral was received without ripple of
applause. He closed his remarks with the
assurance of Democratic success, and the
celebration of the centennial of Jefferson
on next November
At the conclusion of the speech OF MI.
Dockery Mayor D. s. Rose, OF Milwaukee,
was called to the platform to address the
convention. He made a fine impression
instantly. Attired in a black suit and
standing easily and speaking fuently, he
soon stirred the audience. His voice was
clear and ringing and penetrated to the
uttermost parts of the hall. Speaking for
Wisconsin, he said that although it had
given majority against Mr.. Bryan in
'96, it could be brought this year into the
Democratic column by a proper platform
and a suitable running mate for Mr..
Bryan. He said the Democracy of the
United States was in the saddle to fight
for the principles enunciated by Thomas
Jefferson, who in the present day was
personified by William ]. Bryan.
GERMAN VOTERS.
Mayor Rose made a strong appeal to
the convention to remember the great
army Of German voters throughout the
United States Those voters, he declared,
held the balance of power between the
Democratic and Republican parties

opening Of the convention, two-thirds of
them were seated. and the remainder
were in the hall or crowding through the
doors.
The number of handsomely gowned
women around the speakers stand was
even greater than yesterday, and, with
bright-colorcd dresses, ribbons and fiut-
tering fans they formed a charming
background for the high officials Of the
party who occupied seats directly in front
of them.
The old familiar tunes played by the
bands in the galleries brought forth the
usual yells Of the crowd. AS usual Dix
ie" and "A Hot Time" were played re-
peatedly and cheered enthusiastically
The arrival of Richard Croker called
forth few cheers from the gallery, and.
as usual, when Tammany man shows
up, there was the cry of HILL" just to
remind him that there were Others"
AUDIENCE IMPATIENT.
The audience began to manifest signs
of impatience as the chairman called the
convention to order. The hum of the
multitudes increased to a dull roar. The
aisles were jammed, and the area in
front of the platform was choked with
shutting mass of delegates, officials and
subordinates Many of the well known
leaders went to the platform to confer
on the status of convention business,
White, of California; Slayton, of Texas;
Cable, of Illinois, and McCreary, of Ken
lucky. The band labored incessantly to
offset the confusion, and the melody of
patriotic airs served to keep the crowd
in good humor and maintain the patriotic
fervor When the Texans raised to the
top of their standard the huge horns of
a Texas steer, surmounted by the legend,
Texas gives 100000 majority there was
a roof-cracking shout and an enthusiasts

Gov Beckham, Of Kentucky, was given
an enthusiastic reception as he came in,

around him to shake him by the hand
At II o'clock the slender figure of Chair
man Richardson doomed up above the
platform assemblage. He swung the
gavel, and above the din family could
be heard his calls for order. Slowly
quiet was brought out of the confusion.
and the chairman presented Rt. Rev.
John ]. Glennan for the opening invoca-
ton. the entire audience delegates and
spectators standing reverently with
bowed heads, while the words OF the
prayer echoed through the building.
PLEA FOR ORDER.
With the conclusion of the prayer,
Chairman Richardson made an earnest
appeal to the delegates and spectators
to preserve order, so that the work of
the convention might progress with I'M
due interruption. Sergeant-at-Arms Mar
tin added another appeal particularly to
members not to bring their wives on the
floor reserved for delegates, as it kept a

He turned to leave the stand and was
met with loud cries of 60 on" but the

platform.

one of the delegates in front started the
tune1ui old song, my Old Kentucky
Home" and one verse Of 1t was sung
with yigor, the singing being followed bv
great cheering as the young governor re-
sumed his seat.
URGED CONSERVATISM.
Chairman Richardson, at the conclusion
or the demonstration, introduced Hon. ].
W. Miles, Of Maryland, who addressed
the convention In support of conservative
action upon the platform. While the ru-
raj Democracy of his state, he said,
would stand by that great tribune of the
people, Bryan, he begged the convention
to take no action that would imperil the
chances for the victory of Mr.. BRYAN.
His heart was beating, he said, in time
with every principle of the Chicago plat
form, but he felt that the friends of Bry-
an, as Senator John w Daniels, of Vir-
ginia, whose fealty was beyond question,
ought to be listened to by those who have
any desire of carrying such states as New

GINA.
In the name of Cod" he shouted
warmly, "if the men in these states who
stood by Bryan in '96 are not his friends,
where are his friends to be found?'
AS Mr.. Miles concluded, Chairman Rich
ardson announced that he had been in
formed the platform committee would be
ready to report at $3.50. Thereupon
motion was agreed to to adjourn until
that hour, and the vast audience filed out
Of the building amid enthusiastic shouts
for the favorite leaders and the enliven-
ing music of the orchestra.
