gates had arrived. There was consld-
cradle expectancy over the arrival OF
Senator Hill, but he failed to appeal:
Chairman Thomas announced the con-
yention would be addressed by ex-Gov
Altgeld of Illinois pending the report
of the committee. The announcement
was greeted with applause. Congress
man Sulzer entered the hall at this
juncture. It was his first appearance
upon the floor, and although the recip-
lent of no applause he was cordially
greeted, From the New York
delegation, however, Sulzer re-
ceived no recognition and
no handshake or smile. During the
early portion Altgelds prognostica-
lions of democratic success next fall
were the signal for vocal spasm and
when he declared that if the democrats
of the country had not sufficient con-
fidence in their delegates to entrust
the cause of democracy to them, they
would not have sent them to nominate
candidates, the crowd was on it's feet
in an instant, shouting and waving
hats and handkerchiefs with the great
est enthusiasm.
The speaker unwittingly touched off
a mine by using the expression now

he got From all sides of the hall
came loud cries of "Hill,' HILL with
Kisses in plenty. All semblance Of or

Altgeld to continue and he left the
platform. The report of the commit
tee on rules endorsing the rules of the
democratic convention was read
and adopted. The report Of the
committee on credentials seating the
Clark delegation of Montana, and CIV
