Then the Convention Adjourned I'm
til To-day.
ST. Louis, July 6.-"The delegates are
invited to visit the exposition" said
Mr.. Williams, land the clerk will read
the invitation
The last few words were lost in cries
of Bryan" Bryan" that came swift
and thick from different parts of the
hail.
Cheers mingled with the calls, and it
was fully a minute before the voice
of the clerk was able to rise above
the tumult. Mr.. Bryan remained quiet
ly in his seat during the demonstra-
ton made by his friends, and gave no
outward sign of his recognition of the
applause that had greeted his name.
Delegate Powers of Michigan was
recognized by Chairman Williams to
return the thanks of the convention to
the exposition officials for the courtesy
shown, and made a brief speech of ac-
acknowledgement. The motion to accept
the invitation was adopted unanimous
Nv. EaN re
Assistant sergeants-at-arms, with
bundles of exposition tickets, were at
once sent throughout the seats occu-
pied by the delegates and alternates,
handing them to the chairman of the
delegations.
When the ticket passers had nearly
finished their task, the chairman an
nounced that the roll of states would
be called, each state as it's name was
called to send up to the chairman's
desk the names of its committeeman
selected in caucus.
While the roll call was in progress
the spectators, concluding that the in
teresting scenes of the convention were
finished for the day, streamed out by
thousands. The noise of their exit and
the talking throughout the hall was
so great that the clerks voice could
be heard only with great difficulty.
The announcement of Mr.. Bryan as
a member of the Resolutions Commit
tee from Nebraska, called forth a cheer
from such of his friends as were able
to hear the announcement. David B.
HilPs name as a member from New
York also brought a shout of applause.
AS the roll was finished and the call
was begun for those states which had
not answered on the first call, Chair
man Williams drew a cigar from his
pocket, lighted it and commenced to
smoke with great satisfaction. not
withstanding the fact that numerous
signs prohibiting the indulgence were
posted all around the building.
After announcing the time and
places for the various committee meet
ings motion was made by Bourke
Cochran that the convention adjourn
until 10 o'clock tomorrow morning
The motion was adopted and the con-
Vention adjourned at ESQ o'clock

DRAFT OF PLATFORM
WILLIAMS OFFERED
Followed by the Committee in Its
Deliberations.

Deliberations.
st. Louis, July 6.-The sub-Commit-
tee on Platform adjourned at 1910
o'clock until $50 o'clock tomorrow
morning. The subcommittee has ten
tatively agreed upon the preamble ana
the tariff plank. The draft of a plat
form presented by Mr.. Williams of Mis-
sissippi was made he basis upon
which the committee worked, and the
preamble was very near his language.
The tariff plank declares for a revision
of the tariff and gradual reduction on
a wise and business-like plan.
Mr.. Bryan offered provision of re-
affirmation of the Chicago and Kansas
City platforms, but definite considera-
ton of the proposition was postponed,
although it was made plain that it
would not be accepted.
1t was also evident during the con-
sideration of the platform that Mr..
Bryan will not receive very much con-
sideration. Although he made many
suggestions and offered many amend
ments, they were not accepted. No
feeling was shown, but the sub-com-
rnittee found other suggestions to take
the place of those offered by the Ne
braska member.
Three different platforms were pre-
scented, one by Mr.. Williams. one by
Mr.. Poe, representing Mr.. Germans
views. and one by Mr.. Newlands of
Nevada. Suggestions from both the
Williams and German drafts were used
and the German declaration in favor
of reduction of expenditures was adopt
ed almost as written.
1t was also made manifest that the
platform was to be a conservative doc
ument. 1t is expected that there will
be quite lively contest over a gold
plank if it is offered, but the money
plank was not taken up at the even
ing session.
1t is believed that Mr.. Bryan will
make fight before the full committee
or on the floor of the convention for
amendments which he has offered and
which were rejected.

CHEERS LOUD AND LONG
WHEN WILLIAMS SPOKE.
Irony and Sarcasm Directed With
Telling Effect Against Republicans.

st. Louis. July 6.-Enthusiastic
cheering greeted the chairman's an
nouncement that he was directed by
the national committee to appoint John
S. Williams temporary chairman and
c. A. Walsh temporary secretary and
John 1. Martin, temporary sergeant at
arms.
The chairman appointed Col. j. NJ.
Guffey of Pennsylvania and NJ. F. Tar
pey of California to escort Mr.. Will
liams to the chair. AS the platform
was enclosed by a railing it was neces-
sary for the committee and Mr.. Will
liams to climb over the railing. The
committee lifted Mr.. Williams safely
over the railing and the entire conYen-
ton burst into cheers as he assembled
the platform.
81 have the honor to introduce to you
John S. Williams as temporary chair
man." said Chairman Jones, and again
the convention cheered. Mr.. Williams
was attired in light gray suit and a
white waistcoat. He delivered his ad-
dress calmly and without gestures
Several cries of Louder, LOUDER in
terrupted Mr.. Williams as he began,
his clear but not powerful voice at
first failing to reach all parts of the
hall.
AS Mr. Williams proceeded his voice
increased in volume and the delegates
listened attentively. The convention
appeared considerably amused at Mr.
Williams humorously sarcastic refer
ences to the mutual admiration So
ciety" of Mr.. Roosevelt and Mr.. Root,
and when he read an eulogy by the
President on Mr.. Root the delegates
laughed and applauded
Mr.. Williams spoke in an ironical
tone that caught the fancy of the con-
vention. and he was interrupted time
and again by laughter.
At this point the Michigan delegation
entered the hall and here
were several calls for order.
Cheering was evoked by the
speakers statement that Mr. Roose-
welt had praise for only three Presi-
dents. George Washington, Abraham
Lincoln and himself And when he
asked II the Hell Roaring Jake Smith
order was a sample of the moral senti-
ment for which the Republicans stood,
a lusty cheer broke forth.

and those Of his hearers who were sup

Passing from the discussion of Mr..

Republican platform.

Was offered.
ST. Louis, July 6.-Again Chairman
Jones demanded that the convention
be in order and at once directed the
secretary to read the call for the con-
vention. Applause followed the read
ing of the call. After quiet was re-
stored Chairman Jones announced that
the convention would be opened by
prayer by Rev. John F. Cannon, pastor
Grand Avenue Baptist Church of ST.
Louis. His prayer was as follows:
Almighty God, our Father, which art
in heaven, in all our ways we would
acknowledge Thee in order that Thou
may direct our paths. Lift Thou up
the light of Thy countenance upon us
and bless US first of all in the forgive
ness of all our sins. Turn our hearts
from every evil way, and incline US
to the way of Thy statutes. Humbly
and gratefully we acknowledge Thee as
the source of all our blessings; the
giver of every good and perfect gift.
We thank Thee for Thine unfailing
goodness to us as a people. Thou hast
dealt kindly and well with Thy serv-
ants. Thou hast cast our lot in
pleasant land, and we have a goodly
heritage. We possess in Thy fear.
May we have the blessedness of that
people whose God is the Lord. Give
us that righteousness which exalteth
nation and save us from sin, which is
a reproach to any people. Let peace
and plenty prevail within all our Dor
ders. and let righteousness and justice
be ours Let the weakness of the wick
ed come to an end. Cause strife and
oppression to cease throughout our
land. Drive evil men from places of
honor and power and let the righteous
be exalted in their stead.
God of our fathers, bless us as a
people and make us a blessing to all
the nations of the earth, oh, Thou
Master of Assemblies, let Thy blessing
come upon this convention. Guide these
representatives of the people by Thy
counsel. Replenish them with the wis
dom which is from above, which is
first pure, then peaceable, easy to be
entreated, full of mercy and good
fruits, without Partially and without
hypocrisy. Drive out of every breast all
unworthy passions and prejudices and
ambitions, and let all be controlled by
holy passion for the right; let such
conclusions be reached and such action
be taken as shall be in harmony with
Thy will, for the glory of Thy name
and our country's good, we humbly ask
in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord,
Amen"
During the invocation the convention
stood. DR.. Cannon's voice was entire
ly inadequate to reach even the center
of the hall. The prayer occupied sew

been sacrificed in identifying the in

Cheered When He Finished.
With the exception of the finder ig-
nited by the mention of Cleveland s
name, the speech of the temporary
chairman was received practically
without interruption. A few passages
were applauded, but that was all. The
fault was not with the speech, but
principally with the acoustic conditions
in the hall Mr.. Williams had not
been speaking more than five minutes
before it was apparent that many per-
sons would be unable to hear him.
Crowding of the platform made condi-
tions worse. The police and ushers had
difficulty in maintaining passageways
in the main body of the hall.
The applause which greeted Mr.. Will
liams at the conclusion of his speech
attested his popularity with the dele
gates Though they had heard only a
small part of what he had said, the
cheering by delegates and spectators
amounted to an ovation.
