subsided when Chairman Wilson thumped the desk with a wooden mallet and the session had begun. Then the sun was shining a dull yellow through the heavy air, the crowd reeked and almost steamed. Kev. Thomas Green of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, was presented and he offered a prayer, which, while characterized by high dignity was strong and elicited applause at its close. The band of brass and reed instruments started "America," while yet the Convention was awaiting the Resolutions Committee.

Governor Campbell alone strode up the aisle to Ohio's cheers and his greeting was vociferous. Then up rose delegate Dubignon of Georgia, and moved to adjourn until 11 a. m. to morrow. Yells of derision met this motion and it was squarely put before the Convention by the chair before it was buried in a storm of "Noes." Ex Secretary Whitney entered and took a place on the" chairman's platform.

Governor Campbell at 6:5 p. m. started on a final tour of the delegations presumably on a missionary errand. He first made his way to Michigan's chairs, but the entire body of delegates from that State leaped upon their chairs and cheered him while Don Dickinson greeted him. The tour was continued amid cheers.

THE RESOLUTIONS. At 6.20 Delegate Charles H. Jones of Missouri, Chairman of the Resolution Committee appeared on the platform and addressing Convention he said: "I am instructed by the Committee on Resolutions to present you as a report of the Committee on Resolutions the following and move their adoption. In order that you may more distinctly hear what the Committee has prepared, I intend to ask a gentleman who is as familiar as myself with the platform to read it. When it has been read I shall move the previous question upon the adoption of the platform." (Cries of no, no, no.) Mr.

Patterson of Colorado advanced on the platform and said "la view of the statement just made, I will say that I represent a minority of the Committee on Resolutions and I desire to announce that the minority expects to be heard, to present its report before the previous question shall be put." YELLS AND SCREAMS. Then ex Secretary Vilas commenced to read the resolutions at 6:28, but when he reached tho phrase "from Madison to Cleveland," there was quick shout of one voice near the platform. It was over, however, in a Hash, for it seemed as though with one impulse tho entire 20, 000 leaped upon their chairs and with hats and handkerchiefs in the air, 20, 000 throats let loose yells and screams that shook the heavy air and almost made the barracks quiver. In a Hash, a white satin banner, heavy with gold fringe, shot aloft and was moved to the centre aisle. It was the ensign of Michigan and on one side was a picture of Cleveland.

Had the throng before shouted? Oh, no, the first outbreak had been but a murmur beside the savagery of noise and din that arose then and swept and rolled from side to side of the great wigwam and around the am hoisted a picture David B. Hill. Quick as human impulse moves, a hostile hand rapped it from the standard and tore it up, while hisses for and a minst tin. nr swept in a wave around the hall. THE BOIES BANKER.

The tempest ebbed and flowed uuui o.4, wnen Don Dickinson of Michigan caused the Michigan banner in hp carried from view in order that business mignt do resumed. There were hisses from the crowd that the guidon and baton "i us applause should be removed. Through all this Tammany's men in the euire aisle sat grim and silent, neither Hissing ueveland nor cheering Hil).

Finally at 6.48 Mr Vilas again resumed the readinc of th nlntfnr in whin 11 will tta found in another column. The denuncintimi nf noin force bill was loudly cheered. Applause also greeted the homestead nl. portion of the silver plank denouncing the Sherman act.

The reference to federal officers in a National Convention elicited a terrific yell. The foreign policy plank, the navy, the Jews in Russia Home Rule for Ireland were all liberally cheered. The school law plank was carefully listened to and was punctuated at the end of nearly every sentence by shouts ui approval. The only features of the platform which seemed to call forth a diyided sentiment was me lanii aim silver planks, which were apparently not sufficiently radical to Diiusijr me delegates with pronounced HUVVS. OlOIiei JOUCR moved io ar nnlln of the platform.

Mr. Neil of Ohio was iccugmzea ami said: PROTEST AGAINST THE TARIFF PLANKi iur. nairman and (Tontlfimon i. resentative of Oliin nr, i sve notice or my intention to present to the Convention an amendment to 1U.UU up. pair.

I have been unable conscientiously to agree with the majority of my fellow members upon that section of this platform. 1 therefore gave rotice to the committee that I would move in open Convention to strike out that section of the platform pertaining to the tariff all the words preceding the denunciation of the McKinley act and substitute therefor the following: "We de nouuee the Republican protection as a fraud (cries and cheers) the labor of the great majority of American people for the benefit of the few (cries of read it again.)

Gentlemen of the Convention, (the speaker was interrupted with cries of "read that again, that is in pursuance to a request by Bourke Cockran of New York, the Secretary re read the minority report.

Mr. Walker, of Missouri, called for the reading of that which Mr. Neal proposed to strike out, and the Secretary read and at the close of the reading cries were heard "strike that out." There were cries of Watterson and Mr" Henry Watterson of Kentucky, came forward to the platform his appearance being greeted with prolonged applause. Upon order being restored he spoke at length in favor of the rejection of the tariff plank of the platform reported by the Majority Committee on Resolutions and the adoption of the plank reported by the Minority Senator Vilas of Wisconsin replied to Mr. Watterson on behalf of the committee and combated his objections to the plank.

Mr. Watterson, at the conclusion of Senator Vilas' remarks, again addressed the Convention and contended that this plank was a backward step in the march of Tariff Reform, instead of an advance. In conlusion he said: "My God, is it possible in 1892, we have to go back for a tariff plank to the straddle of 1884." After much confusion the roll was called and resulted, ayes 564; nays 864. The Chairman The question is on a motion of the committee. Tho voice of the chairman was drownediua roar of applause and hisses, after which Colonel Jones, editor of the St.

A youthful divine of the Methodist Episcopal Church is the campaign. me opening the Convention was very gratifying to uie laymen oi tne Democracy, and that me assurance or divine assistance is auinoniative is amply demonstrated by the information cominer from that, rlimvh which they have so often denounced as ueing a disguised adjunct of the Republican party.

When the hour for the session came 15,000 faces shone brightly around the upper gallery, dimly in the shadows of the lower gallery and upon the floor oj the Convention. Delegations came mostly as individuals, although the IScw York delegation inarched to its place in the centre of the hall in a solid body, amid cheers. Atexactlv 11:30 Rev.

W. Fred H. Henry of Chicago was presented by Chairman Owens to offer prayer. The clergyman especially remembered the Resolutions Committee in his invocation. "When the preacher had ceased his prayer for a truer, a broader, a nobler Democracy that should work for the masses against the few, there was a hesitating rattle of hand clapping away oil under one gallery.

It was caught up and grew to a cheer. The Committee on Credentials announced that they would not be ready until 2 p. m. Then, on motion of Thomas Johnson, Mr. Mills was invited to address the Convention.

Hut Mr. Mills was reported not well enoueh to SDeak. and soon left the hall for his hotel. Delegate I)e Young of Michigan, leaping upon his chair, moved that Senator Palmer of Illinois, be invited to address the Convention. A Committee brought Mr.

Palmer to the front, and when the gray haired Senator was seen coming down the aisle to tho desk a cheer went up which soon grew to a roar. "Gentlemen," cried Chairman Owens, "it is not necessary for me to introduce to you this war horse of Democracy." Mr. Palmer put his hearers in pleasant mood at once by a comical story, and some light comments on the crowd. The Credentials Committee was announced as ready to report, and John E.

THE TAMMANY YELL. New York's delegation with Mr. Crokfr at the head came first info the hall and the genuine Tammany yell leaped forth from the bench rows directly behind the alternates. A cry of Hill went up but a sound like escaping steam shot out from the floor and grew to a whistling, hissing etorm. The great throng, however, LAGE CURTAILS.

very little in the way of official business to be transacted and ample opportunity was afforded for the regalement of the Democrats by a flow of oratory. A ripple of enthusiasm swept over the Convention when Mr. Delaney of Alaska conveyed the information that the great cause of reform had traversed every scene from the Torrid to the Frigid by submitting his credentials as a dalegate from the Territory of Alaska and announcing himself as the representative of a pioneer people engaged in building up civilization in the wildest and most remote dominion of the Republic. The first speech of the day was by General John Palmer, whom the Democrats of Illinois are pleased to term "the Gladstone of Amtrica," and who was unanimously invited to address the Convention. The Senator's speech awakened all the latent political fervor that has been waiting for days to be quickened to enthusiasm by the stirring eloquence of some popular leader.

Senator Palmer, in his capacity of recognised loader ot the Democratic party of the State of Illinois, as the man to whom tl forty eight delegates of the Prairie Sta State have avowed obedience in dei laring for Grover Cleveland, pledged the electoral vote of this great State to the nominee of this convention, whoever he may be, next November. 1I was the only speaker of note who iguon 1 the tariff question for an issue which fe more vital at least to the Republican of the South. "The Republicans at said he "have written rpon their platform, a menace to the people of the country iu the new force bill. As sure as Benjamin Harrison is electei and the next Congress is Republican we will have a force bill such as the ingeniity of John Davenport of the dcyil may suggest." The deafening cheers which followed the sentence was evidence the South at least would exert every effor possible to prevent either of the chaacters mentioned from ever having the opportunity to exercise their ingenuity the line of Senator Palmer's warning The Hon.

He enounced the political methods of the bpublican party by saying that in the privilege of taxing th peuplo would continue to be bartered for contributions to crrupt them at the polls, and that after every victory, a new McKinley 111 would be enacted to Aupiij uiese cotrioutions with taxes wrung iron, the uopfc.

Delaney. Don't fool with indijestion. am's Pills. Take Beech GLADSTONTS PLAN. THE CONFERENCE WITH THE M'CARTHYITE LEADERS.

GUARAHTEES TO THE HIHOEITIES. He Is Confident of Success in Spite of Factional Disunion John Dillon Talks of the American Peace Com missioners He Has No Hopes of Harmony. Loxdos, June 22. The representative of the Associated Press in this city is auinomed to state that the conference yesterday between Mr. Gladstone and the McCarthyite leaders almost solely con cerned the proposals of Mr.

Gladstone to extend guarantees to the minorities under the proposed new Home Rule bill. At the opening of the conference Mr. Gladstone asked what prospects there were for the reunion of the Irish Parliamentary party. He was told that the prospects were remote. Though he said that renewed efforts should be ma'de to re establish union, he expressed no great concern as to the result should that end be not attained.

He is so hopeful of such a solid ma iority at the approaching general elections that, he believes that the return ot a few so called independents will not affect the issues. The statement that Mr. Timothy Iloaly was present at the conference was erron eous. A long conversation was held on the now minority guarantees. Mr.

Gladsone said he desired to secure the opinions of the leaders of the auti Parnelites on the question, as he designed to dilate upon them in his manifesto to the electors of Midlothian, with a view to counteracting tne citects of the Ulster amtation. Mr. Justin McCarthy subsequently convened a private meeting of his colleagues to discuss Mr. Gladstone's proposals, and communicated the proposals to Arch bishop Walsh. It is likely that the pro posais will be approved all around.

nix regard to a reunion commission which is comiuir here from the United Mates, Jlr. John Dillon says he fears it will be too lato for its work to be effect ive hero, as it will arrive on the eve of the polling and after the final prepara tions lor the contests are completed. Ihe anti Parnellites, he declared, will be ready, however, to the last moment to at tempt to effect conciliation, or to favor ably consider such attempts should they do mado by the Parnellites. THE LEAKING POTfSVILLE DAM. Inhllbitiints of St.

Clair Valley Still on the Hills Through Fear of a Flood. Pottsville, Juno 23. After twenvy hours of work at drawing off through the pipes, the water in the immense leaking reservoir of the Pottsville Water Company in tho St. Clair Valley has only lowered six feot, and tha danger of the entire breastwork giving way at any instant has increased. Experts and the hnilders oi uie dam iranmy confess tnat they can not understand how the bank is holding together so long under the wear of the es caping waters.

une people oi St. uiair ana surrounding towns are still on the hills where they spent the night. Pottsville and other safe places entertained hundreds of them last night. St. Clair Councils are be ing urged to end tho suspense by the use of dynamite, and the excitement is beyond description.

The Reading Railroad Compan7 has sus pended traffic on the branch in tho threat ened valley and has removed a great part oi its engines and rolling stock to sata points. Large construction gangs are ready lor instant call, and largo quantities or new material have been brought to near by points. There are no flood trates to the dam. the only outlet being two twelve inch service mains, and tnese can only release tne wa ter in about double the volnme that is running in from the feed streams. This is why tne water lowers so slowly.

The water escaping by means of the leaks would, if put together, fill a main the size of a flour barrel. Pottsville is being supplied from other dams of this company. Manv collier ies and other industrial establishments are idle from lack of hands in consequence of the excitement. HE HUNG TW0JI0URS ON A WIRE. Probably Fatal Accident that licfell an Electric Light Kmployo.

Peoria, 111., June 22. Yesterday morning between 2 and 8 o'clock people living on the West Bluff were awakened by the most pitiful and heartrending screams. A man was discovered on an electric light tower, one hundred and seventy feet from tho ground. He had gone up fhere to remove some discorations and accidentally grasped a live wire. His name was John Mahonv.

aud he is one of oidost employes of the electric light company in this city. Soon a couple of hundred people were gathered around, but they were powerless to help him. As he was suspended it was feared if the power was shut off he would drop nearly two hundred icet to tne ground. ot two Hours the un fortunate man remained in this horrible condition, with tlm hissino wire cnttina deeper aud deeper into his flesh and scald ing anu Durning his hands and arms. The men Groaned and the women screamod.

Men finally ventured up to his relief, but they were knocked down by the powermi current. It was not until experts from the electric works reached tho scene that he could be removed, when he was gently lowered to the ground witn ropes, with both hands burned through.
