THINGS CHAIRMAN WILLIAMS SAID.

The country Is now and Is destined to be
for length Of time beyond computation
on gold basis, an accomplished
fact not by the Republican party but by
the dogged persistency and indomitable will
Of Grover Cleveland.
We will announce Enthusiastically to the
world that we will not make Of the army
and navy of the United States a constabu-
larry for the collection of debts from the
governments or peoples of South and Cen
tral America.
1t will reduce the revenues Of the gov
ernment to a sum adequate to the needs
of economical and constitutional admins
tration.
1t will not falter when 1t comes to declare
for a reduction Of tariff taxation on trust
produced articles to the point where for
eign competition may enter the American
market, when combines, seeking monopoly,
raise the price to the American consumer
to the point of extortlon.
The rights of labor will be recognized as
no less vested or sacred than the rights of
capital.
1t is In the power of no man or party to
assure success. 1t is In the power of the
humblest to deserve 1t. God grant that we
may have 1t. Let us by the character OF
our platform and the character OF our can
diiate deserve 1t.
The Democracy will construct the Pan
anna Canal speedily. honestly and economi-
cally. However shamefully the Panama
Republic was born. and however shameful
our connection with II, 1t was born and Is
now recognized by us.
A Democratic administration will put an
end. rs far as 1t can be done, to all exist
ing iniquitOus partnership arrangements
between the federal government and IA
vored special interests
A Democratic administration will find In
our treatment of Cuba an example of Amer
lean courage, justice and magnanimity, an

red, white and blue, with the single
sta-. A white silk banner, bearing the
inscription FLORIDA Democracy; Safe
and Sound" was borne into the hall
shortly after the Texans had arrived,
and WAS also greeted with applause.
The Philippine delegation came in with
their banner, which was not floating
free like those that had entered before
it. 1t was an American flag of silk,
wrapped closely around the staff and
tied hard and fast. Chairman Guffey
of Pennsylvania strobe in closely be-
hind the Philippine flag and was heart
lily cheered.
Thursday.
The morning session of the Demo
cratic national convention Thursday
lasted less than an hour There was a
delay in calling it to order. and at II
O'Clock it became necessary TO take a
recess until o'clock TO await reports
from the committees on permanent Or
GaniZation and credentials. The COM
mittee on permanent organization met
at once and elected Representative
Champ Clark as permanent chairman.
The choice was unanimous.
Chairman Williams was given a
round of applause when he appeared.
AS soon as he had produced quiet in
the hall by the use of his gayel he in
troduced Archbishop John J. Glennon,
of st. Louis, who delivered the invo-
cation.
The first business was the presenta-
ton and adoption of the report from
the committee on rules. Thomas J.
Grady of the committee on rules and
order of business made his report and
Il fierce fight on admitting delegates
from the Philippines was precipitated.
The committee recommended an
of the rules TO provide for
the seating of delegates from Porto
Rico. An amendment was offered to
include the Philippines. Senator Jerry
South of Arkansac interrupted at this
point with an expressed desire to
speak 10 the question and accordingly
took the platform. He declared that
it had never been part of Democrat
ic doctrine to consider the insular pos
sessions as part of the United States
and he was opposed to such action.
Arguing for the adoption of the re-
port Mr.. Grady said the national COM
mlttee had decided to include Porto
Rico in the call of the convention. The
had to consider the ques-

but no one thought of moving until
the big event had been brought to its
close.
Time after time the chairman-Sen-
ator Bailey, of Texas, acting part of
the time for Champ Clark-threat,
ened TO clear the galleries if disturb
ances did not cease. When orators
were nominating or seconding the nom-
ination of Hearst, partisans here and
there were loudly shouting Parker"
and when Parker orators had the stage
the crowds would shout for Hearst
and Bryan.
The Parker and Hearst nomina ting
speeches came early in the long nights
session, and while they furnished the
wild excitement, it remained for the
presentation of Senator Cockrell's
name by Champ Clark at nearly 2
o'clock in the morning to bring about
the prettiest spectacle Of wonderful
convention session. Thousands of those
i'll the hall were Missourians, and
every Missourian had flag in reserve
When Mr. Clark finished his speech
out came the flags, and every balcony
soon was waving mass Of red, white
and blue.
Messengers with big punches Of
flags then rushed hither and thither
distributing their wares, and, irrespect-

everyone grasped the flags. stood on
chairs and on railings-men and wom-
en- alike-and did honor to the old man
of Missouri.
Following the Cockrell demonstra-
tion Patrick Collins presented the
name Of Richard Olney, of Massachu-
sets, and after that Mayor Rose. of
Milw>ukee, nominated Edward c.
Wall, Of Wisconsin.
After the nomination of Parker the
convention adjourned until o'clock
Saturday afternoon.
CONVENTIONS EARLY WORK.
With commendable promptness, Jas.
X. Jones, chairman Of his party's ma
tional committee, called the Democrat
ic national convention of 1904 to order
at noon Wednesday. Prayer was Of
fered by the Rev. John f. Cannon of
the Grand Avenue Presbyterian
Church of st. Louis.
With brief address. following the
offering of prayer. Chairman Jones in
troduced the temporary chairman of
the tion-Congressman John
Sharp Williams, Of Mississippi. As
this man, the leader of the Democracy
in the House Of Congress. was escort
ed to the platform, the uproar was
deafening. He was to sound the key
note of the campaign Of 1904. and the
throng gave him a tremendous Ova-
ton.
The 1000 delegates in the big con-
vention hall were backed by an equal
number Of alternates. Nearly all the
living leaders of the party, past and
present, were there. Around them,
over them and mingling with them
were 5000 spectators. who crowded
the hall from pit to dome.
The first ripple of applause that
went across the convention came from
the galleries when the Texas delega-
