ers Of Democratic party, jefferson and
Jackson evoked outbursts of cheers.
The delegates and spectators had listen
ed with attention, but no very great en-
thusiasm to the address but heartily ap-
plauded the closing sentence. Senator |
Hin entered just at this moment and the |
applause turned to him.
SHOUTS FOR HILL.
"Hill, Of New York; Hill! Hill! HilIr !
they shouted. But it was noticed that the |
New York delegation did not respond to
the enthusiasm. Hill came in with Elliott |
Danforth, New York, and stopped at the |
row. Delegate John Mcmahon of Rome |
arose and gave his seat to the ex-senator. I
Hill smiled and thanked him. Meanwhile |
the crowd continued to yell for Hill"

ped them to order. A few minutes later |
they renewed the cali, but the audience |
was impatient to get on with proceed |
ings and showed their disapproval with |
Kisses.
When finally the chairman was able to |
make his voice heard, he introduced Gov. |
Thomas, of Colorado, the temporary |
chairman. round of applause greeted |
Gov. Thomas as he ascended the plat !

AT conclusion Of Thomas speech, Cam |

reading the Declaration of Independence |
and the band played the ''Star-Spangled |
Banner"
A statue Of Bryan was unveiled on the
stage and delegates and spectators arose
and cheered wildly When the band
struck up Dixie" the enthusiasm grew
into shrill cheers. The Declaration of
Independence was then read.
When the orator had finished the Dec
laration of Independence and the applause
had ceased, Miss Fultoni, of New York
was introduced and sang 1.-The Star-Span-
gled Banner" the audience standing and
cheering and applauding after each verse
1t was an innovation in national con-
Vention. Then as she finished the last
strain the band took up America" and
led by Miss Fultoni, the great mass of
10000 people broke into the stirring words

In an instant Maryland, Tennessee,
Louisiana. Mississippi, and New Mexico
were on their feet waving their standards
and yelling "Hillr' Dave Hill" The
pounding of the chairman's gavel had no
effect and for time it looked like a con-
certed movement to stampede for the
New Yorker. AS delegation after dele
cation rose in their seats and the chair
mans gavel fell Hill was compelled to
rise and bow This was the signal for
pandemon1um and nothing seemed to be

minutes the applause and disorder con-
unued, the steady rap of gavel having no |
effect. Each time a new state standard
appeared the applause again renewed
After his first bow to the audience Hill
Kept his seat, but he could rot disguise
the qualification he felt at the reception
given him. Friends urged him to take
the platform, but he kept shaking his
head negatively. On the platform the
chairman and sergeant-at-arms tried In
vain to get order. Finally Hill himself,
topping to stem the torrents of applause.
arose. Then the delegates and the crowd
howled themselves hoarse
HILL" Platform" they screamed.
Mr.. Chairman" he calculated but his
voice was drowned in the fiery cutburst
of applause. Mr.. Chairman" he tried
Rgain to say, and then drowned out
again, sank laughing in his seat
CALL OF STATES.
When, after fifteen minutes order was
restored, Gov. Thomas administered a
stern warning to the assemblage, stat
ing the convention was here to do bust
ness, and if the spectators INTERRUPTED
the work by unseemly disorder the Off
GERS of the convention would clear the
galleries.
The call Of states now began for nam
ing the members of various committees.
This was tedious work, covering all the
caucus selections of the several states
and territories. When the name of Carte
Harrison was called as the Illinois mem
Der OF one of the committees 1t brought
out a round of applause and calls for
Harrison, which, for a moment threat
ened 10 be a repetition of the Hill dem
onstratiOn. The names of Gov Overmey-
or, Senator Blackburn, Geo. Fred Will
Jams, w. J. Stone also received cheers
When Augustus Van Wyck was ANNOUNCE
ed as the New York member Of platform
committee there was q storm of mingled
Kisses and cheers and a demand for him.
Delegates Gray and Malloy, of New York,
led the applause for Van Wyck's name.
1t took vigorous play with the gavel to
restore order and allow the call to pro-
coed.
After the name of the last committee
man had been given Chairman Thomas
announced that a motion had been made
to the lady who had sang 1.-The Star
Spangled Banner" 1t was carried
A delegate of Ohio secured the atten-
lion of the chairman by some violent GEES
uculation, and then, mounting on his
chair as he was recognized, moved that
an invitation be extended Mr. Bryan to
visit the convention. A wild cheer Of
applause went up before the chairman
had been given time to hear a second to
the motion. While the cheering over the
Bryan mention was at its height the
boming of a brass band was heard at the
south entrance, and down the aisle in
front Of the chairman's desk came the
band which came here with Mr. Clark
of Montana, and behind it, in column OF
twos, as nearly as they could keep thai
formation, marched the Jackson club,
Of Nebraska. The band was play
ing Dixie" and the old air re-
ceived the yell or delight which
greots 1t always. Members of the
jackson club had with them a large num-
Der of ladies, and as there were no seats
for them. a dense throng was soon packed
in front of the chairmans desk 1t was
impossible for Chairman Thomas to hear
word uttered four feet from his desk.
but some delegates near him made a
motion to adjourn until o'clock which
was at once put and carried, amid con-
fusion so great that not one delegate In
twenty knew to what hour the adjourn
ment had been taken.
