OVATION FOR BECKHAM.

Instantly there was roar of ap-
plauSe and delegates and spectators
springing upon their chairs to get a
better view of the young Governor of
Kentucky waved their hats and hand
kerchiefs frantically
The greeting was a fitting counter
part to the reception given to Governor
Taylor, of Kentucky, in Philadelphia
When Gov. Beckham reached the stand
where all could see him he was given
a reception as enthusiastically as any
extended by the delegates to any speak
er who has thus far addressed the con-
vention.
The galleries did not respond with
the same heartiness.
The young Governor of Kentucky is
man of five feet nine or ten inches,
slender and clean shaver. He was
dressed in a modest sack suit of dark
serge and spoke slowly and with de-
liberation, evidently weighing his
words carefully.
His first assertion that in his opin-
ion the enthusiastic reception extended
tc him was due not to him personally,
but to the outraged Democracy" of
his State, called forth another roar of
applause which was equalled a mo-
ment later when he promised that
Kentucky would be carried safely for
the Democratic power. His remark,
that of late there had been a consider
able exodus OF criminals from his
State evoked laughter and applause,
and a few cries of 'TaylOr"

SENATOR HILL APPEARS.

At 3:46 p. M, Senator Hill, of New
Yet4S, WHO had been absent from the
two preceding sessions, came through
the delegates door by himself he
was not recognized at first and had
nearly reached his seat when the cry
OF Hill" Hill" broke forth. II was
coupled with considerable applause,
but the demonstration in honor Of the
senator when present lacked several
degrees the warmth of yesterday after
noon and this morning while he was
absent At 4 o'clock the convention
was still waiting for the committee on
resolutions and nothing was going On
with the exception of occasional music
by the band. The crowd had been al
lowed full swing by the doorkeepers
and the aisles were packed 10 the dan
ger point. From the speakers desk
clear back to the doorways the aisles
were packed solid. Nobody could get
in or pass out. The jam had reached
the danger point and the heat became
oppressive

CONFERENCE COMMITTEE.

THAT a committee of nine delegates
be appointed by the chair for the pur4
pose of comforting with the Silver Re-
publican and the Populist parties now
gathered in Kansas City,
Shouts of no mo- followed the
reading but the resolution was put to
vote and amid much confusion on
the floor was declared adopted.
Congressman James Williams, of
Illinois, was then introduced by Chair
man Richardson. He opened his re-
marks by an appeal to all Democrats
to stand together on one platform,
which he declared would be broad
enough to hold them all. He spoke
briefly and was frequently applauded.
AS Mr. Williams took his seat Chair
man Richardson announced: I'VE will
now be addressed by Gov. J. w. Beck
ham, of Kentucky"

said: Gentlemen get onto the plat
form whatever it may be-" a yell went
up chiefly from the silver delegations.
Talk this way a little" shouted a
Georgia delegate. Il can't talk every
way, replied the speaker. Then talk
this way little" shouted the Geor-
gian.
The first mention of Dewey's name
since the opening of the convention
was made by Mr.. Dockery while dis
cussing the Philippine question, but
the name of the famous Admiral was
received without a ripple of applause
He closed his remarks with the assur-
ance of Democratic success and the
celebration of the centennial of Jeffer-
sons nomination next November.
At the conclusion of the speech of
Mr.. Dockery, Mayor D. S. Rose, of Mil
waukee, was called to the platform to
address the convention. He made a
fine impression instantly. Attired in
a black sack coat and standing easily
and speaking fluently, he soon stirred
the audience. His voice was clear and
ringing and penetrated to the utter
mosC parts of the hall.
Speaking of Wisconfs, he said that.
although it had given a majority
against Mr.. Bryan in SO, 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 VIM. ]. Bryan.

lucky is prepared to accept any plat
form which the Democratic party will
present. No matter what the platform
may be, Kentucky will stand upon it
and win through its principles.
He turned to leave the stand and
was met with loud cries of go on

tinued to demand for Hill.
When quiet was partially secured the
chair recognized Mr.. Williams, who
submitted a resolution reciting:

To-day a Snarm of the local police

Once the delegates began to put in

and the space reserved for them filled
with great rapidity. At 1920 the time
set for the opening of the convention
two-thirds of them were seated and the
remainder were in the hall or crowding

ROUNDS OF CHEERS.

When he declared that the party did
rot propose to surrender one iota OF lis
attitude in 1896, as promulgated by the
Chicago convention, there was round
after round Of cheers. But this broke
into a whirlwlnd Of approving shouts
when the Governor asserted that the
rarty's platform must contain an UNI
euuiYocal and specific declaration for
16 to /. 1t was noticeable that the
delegates joined with the body of spec
tators in the tribute to the 16 to /
idea. Gov. Hogg arraigned the policy
OF the present administration, in the
Philippines and on foreign affairs gem
orally; its subserviency to trusts. He
closed with a prediction that a platform
appealing to the people for correction
OF existing conditions would bring vic
tory in November
STARTED A Hill CRY.
1T the termination of Gov. Hogg's
address Chairman Richardson stepped
forward 10 say a few words to Ser
geant-at-Arms Martin, and the crowd
took advantage of the opportunity to
start cry OF "IIill." 1t came from all
quarters of the galleries. but practic-
ally little of it from the delegates.
Mingled with the calls were Kisses.
Chairman Richardson welded his
gavel vigorously and when order was
stored in some degree, announced;
"Gentlemen-I have the honor TO in
troduce to you Hon. A. II. Dockery,
Missouri's favorite son..
Mr.. Dockery was warmly received
and his prompt attack upon the con-
duct of the Republican administration
for it's management of the Philippine
question was greeted with applause.
His assurance that Bryan would be the
next President of tine United States
and his condemnation of any alliance
between this country and England re-
ceived the same enthusiastic reception

audience, delegates and spectators,
standing reverently with bowed heads
while the words of the prayer echoed
through the building.

THE AFTERNOON SESSION.

By $3.50 nearly all OF the delegates
were ready for business and waiting
the arrival OF Chairman Richardson,
who was trif1e slow in making his
appearance. The delegates seemeu anX-
ious to get to work and complete the
business Of the convention and when
at 1888 the chairman made his appear
anee, there was a ripple of applause.
Many of the delegates had come pre-
pared for the nomination of Mr.. Bry-
an. Dozens of them carried small flags
and numerous plumes of bright colored
pampas grass were visible in various
parts OF the floor. Occasionally a man
who had purchased a whistle to toot
when the opportunity should avail
could not resist the temptation to loot
it a little in advance of proper mo-
ment, and the squawking little instru-
ments could be heard in all parts of the
hall.

that had attempted any session of the

Hon. J. w. Miles, OF Maryland, who
addressed the convention in support Of
conservative action upon the platform
While the rural Democracy of his
State, he said, would stand by that
great tribune of the people, William
Jennings Bryan, he begged the con-
Ventlon that it take no action that
would imperil the chances of victory
for Mr.. Bryan.
MR.. BRYAN'S TRUE FRIENDS.
His heart was beating, he said, in
time with every principle of the Chi
cago platform, but he felt that such
friends of Bryan as Senator John w.
Daniel, of Virginia, whose fealty was
beyond question. ought to be listened
to by those who had any desire of
carrying such States as New York, In
diana, Illinois and West Virginia.
In the name of God,' he shouted
warmly, IF the men in these States
who stood by Mr.. Bryan in SO are not
his friends, where are his friends to
be found?"
AS Mr.. Miles concluded, chairman
Richardson announced that he had
been informed 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 favprite
leaders and the enlivening music of
the orchestra
Although the time between the ad-
journment of the morning session and
that set for the opening of the after
noon was over two hours, at no time
were the galleries of the great hall
more than one-third emptied.
An hour before the time for the
meeting of the convention there was
not seat to be had in any of the gal
leries.
The word had gotten abroad that
there would be but one report made
by the committee on resolutions and
that it would be in favor of 16 to /.
There would be no fight on the floor
and many of the delegates were as dis
gusted as others were cheerful and
happy.
