St. Louis. June 0. Whether the Demo
cratic Convention will go through Its
work to-day and reach an adjournment
by night depends altogether upon tho
Committee on Resolutions. Bo fat as that
body Is concerned it has concluded its
labors, save and except tho tariff plank.
Dawn was streaking In through the" win
dows or a little back room in an out-of-the-way
corridor of tho Southern this
morning beforo the committee, which had
been wrangling all night over tho form
that tho declaration should take, decided
to sleep over It for a fow hours and come
together again at 0 o'clock,
A Stormy Might,
This is the hour to which tho full com
mittee also adjourned, but it will be able
to do nothing Until something is heard'
from tho sub-commlttco. Such of tho
members of the latter as wcro up and
Stirling by 7 o'clock this morning were
disposed to bo reticent, but enough was
said to indicate that the night was a
pretty stormy one. Tho tilt botween
Henry Watterson and Senator Gorman
was a very enjoyable ono to tho other
members, and It is said that the relations
between tho Kciitucklon and the Mary
lander have been strained since Watter
son told thoSenator that tho story that
President Cleveland had approved tho ro
hash straddle of the plank 0T 1881 might
go with the marines, but not with him.
The States May Bottle It.
Abbott, New Jersey; Turplc, Indiana;
Wnttcrsoiii Kentucky; Yaple, Michigan;
Hcllman, Oregon: Siinms, Mississippi, and
Patterson, Colorado, aro tho members of
tho sub-commlttco that demand an out-and-out
indorsement of tho President's
Message and a declaration for tariff ro
form as a tenet of tho party, while Burr
of Connecticut, Coonor, Now York, Gor
man. Maryland, and Dvmond of Louis
iana lmvo tho protection intorosts in
hand unless some compromise can be ar
rived at, and this is considered extremely
improbable. The Issue will undoubtedly
bo thrown into the convention, and In
this ovrnt tlio States will ecttlo It.
It was admitted that little clso would
be considered to-day after the permanent
organization had been ell'uctcd. Tho
Nevada delegation, backed by others
from the West, has been insisting upon a
silver plank, and it Is likely to bo satis
fied. Nearly everybody till? morning
was predicting tho nomination of Judge
Thurman on tlio first ballot, and oven tho
Gray men conccdo that it ho docs not get
thorc at tho start tlio second call of tho
roll of States will settle it.
Talk of tlio Cnnilliliitui).
The efforts to bring about tlio with
drawal of Gray's namo wero renewed
this morning, but tho Indiana delegation
argued that having been instructed by the
State Convention to present his namo
they had o alternative but to do what
thev conceived to bo their duty. Tele
graphic communications, however,
passed between this city and Indianap
olis, and there seemed a chanco that after
ali they would strlko their Hag at tho last
moment and fall behind tho railks'of tho
Thurman army. Thurman's nomination
by Tarpoy of California will, according to
tho last programme bo seconded by Clark
of Texas,. Dryden of Missouri and Powell
of Ohio.
Dan. Dougherty's' ofl'ort In behalf of
Cleveland will bo brief but eloquent, and
thero will bo three seconds ono from
Georgia, another from California, and -a
third from ono of tlio Northwestern
States.

Building wero thiown open at 9 o'clock
to admit tho vast throng, which had been
patiently waiting on tho outsido, the
military band that was stationed nt tho
rear or tho Washington equestrian statue,
in tho western balcony, burst forth with
tho Doxology. What was tho spoclal sig
nificance of thosoicctlon of the vencrablo
"Old Hundred," whothcr it was acci
dent or a laudablo desire on tho part of
tho conductor to breathe a peaceful spirit
of what promised to bo a decidedly lively
gathering, could only bo surmised.
Tlio dolegatos wero not as prompt in
assembling as on yesterday. Nearly all
of them had turned out in last night's
parade, which did not disperse until closo
upon midnight, wlillo probably ono half
or tho lot, Including tho Tammany boys
who at 2 o'clock this morning wero hold.
Jug high carnival at the Southern took

What tho delegates lacked In punctual
ity, lion over, was moro than made up by
tho guests and visitor, and for an hour
after tho dnois hud been opened there was
a steady flow, until the galleries, bal
conies and boxes, as well as tho spaco In
tho rear of tho hall, wore packed to sulVo
cation, liven tills early It was hot, broil
ing, In fuct, nnd fans, handkerchiefs and
everything clso that would create a llttlo
wind was brought into lequtsltion, Tho
(list applause of tho morning was evoked
when a magnificent floral shield, about
four feet In height, was carried upon the
platform and placed beforo the chairman's
desk.
It was a trlbuto to tho permanent chair
man, P. A, Collins of Massachusetts,
whoso name, with that of his State, was
inscribed across tlio centre in yellow
roses. Tho Church delegates from Da
kota, colonel v. l., Btccls and George r.
Meggulcr, who had been elected by tho
Commlttco on Credentials last night, woro
among the tlit to arrive, and thero was a
belf-sallsllcd look upon tnelr races as
they picked out their location, Tho
Peunsylvanlans were next upon thesceno
and wero accorded u hearty recognition.
After them came the Ohloans, and from

Ilvo of tho united Press tho situation in
committee: "Tho difference of opinion
In tho Commlttco on Resolutions hs to

treated in tho platform," ho said "is
this way; Mr. Watterson and his sup
porters wish to have tho preamble coil'
fain an Indorsement of tho President's
Message, and give encouragement in
Congress to their frlonds On tlio tarlir
question, pending legislation, The plat
form itself is agreed upon by both fac
tlons. Mr. Gorman and his frlonds want
to havo tho preamble embody an Indorse
ment of tho tariff plank oftho Chicago
platform of 1881, sometimes called tho
'straddlo' or comoroinlso tarlir plankr"
Tho Convention Oiltlod to Ordor.
At 10:22 Temporary Chairman White
dealt tho desk sevcial blows with tho
silver gavel and called tho convention to
order. Thero was so' minjh confusion,
however, that It was several minutes bo
foro ho succeeded In gotting what he
wanted. Then tho Rev. T. J. Green was
Introduced, and while tho delegates and
visitors arose, ho prayed. Ho asked of
God that tho delegates might remember
that thoy wcro not only making history
for this country, but also todctcrmlno
what may. bo good for it or bad for It, and
that their party and their works redound
for tho good ot" tho country and tho good
of Ills name. The delegates uttered a
fervent Amen
Tho reverend gentleman retired, and a
resolution was read by tho secretary,
thanking tho Colorado delegation for its
present of a silver gavel, which was
adopted by acclamation. Tho chairman
announced, amid applause, that cre
dentials had been handed In from a dele-
cation from Alaska, this being tlio first
time that a delegation of that Territory
had songht admittance to a Democratic
National Convention.
Ho announced that tho papers would
go to tho proper committee, and was
about to call for tho report of tho Com
mittee on Permanent Organization, when
Congressman Timothy J. Campbell pre
sented a memorial, declaring that tho
Monroo doctrino should no strictly en
forced: that American States should bo
protected from Kuropean encroachnionts,
even by force if necessary, and that tlio
closest commercial and political relations
should bo maintained with tho Mexican,
Central American, and South American
States. Referred to the Commlttco' on
Resolutions.
Turin? Itnfurm Applauded,
Then Stephen Mallory or Florida took
the floor and submitted a resolution, tho
first lino or which was grcotcd with pro
longed applause, which was renowed a
tlio close. Mr. Mai lory's resolution sett
forth that this "convention approves o
and hereby Indorses" tho principle o
tariff reform enunciated by1 rroslden
Cleveland in his first message to tho pro
sent Congress, and to tho policy rocom
mended by him for tho practical applloa
tlon of tho principles to tho admlnlslra
tion of Government, woglvoourunquall

the Commlttco on Resolutions.
Tho Iteport on Credentials.
Johh 0. Webber of Alabama next sub
mitted tho report or tho Committee on
Credentials, tho reading or which was
waived, oxcept so much as related to tho
seating or the Church delegation. It ulto
reported that it had no ollicial Inrorma'
tion or tho presence'' or an Alaska delega
tion, but Mr. Webbor corrected this and
the report was adopted, Arthur 11. Do
laney and A. II. llannlug being seated
from Alaska. The report was unani
mously adopted.
I'ermancut Orfrnnlatlon ISIt'dctod.
Next tho report of tho Committee on
Rules and Permanent Organization was
called for. Kx-Attorncy-Gencral Lewis
Cassldy of Philadelphia received a round
of applauso whon ho took tho platform.
It recommended that the convention
should adopt the samo rules and order of
business that provailcd at tho Chicago
Convention of 1881, with tho modification
that no delegation shall ho pormlttcd to
change its voto until after tho call of
States andTcrntoiie.1 has been comploted.
For permanent officers tho following

J. Ilrlght; elder doorkeeper, Daniel Able,
St, Louis.
Tho reading of tho report, embracing
ns It did the names of a half a dozen com;
miticcmen and ornamental olllcors from
each Slato, occupied considerable time,
(during which a good many of the dele
gates availed themselves of the oppor
tunity to divest themselves of their coats,
and in tomo Instances or their vosts.
'They mado a good deal or nolso In dolnj
ims, so mucu in luct uuu mo ciiuiriiiau
had to declare, with emphasis, that ho in
tended to havo ordor even ir tho sergcant-at-arms
had to help him get It. Finally
tho convention tired or tho dry roll of
names, and on motion or a delegate from
Missouri Uto rurthor reading was dis
pensed with by a majority voto.
There was no opposition to tho adop
tion or tho report, and tho temporary
chairman selected lion, W. II. llarnuin,
Connecticut; Roswell P. Flower, New
York, and Jonn O'Day, Missouri, to es
cort Mr. Collins to tho chair. Ills pres
ence on tho platform was tho signal for
long and continued applauso, tho Massa
chusetts delegation gotting upon Its
chairs and yclung itself iioarso. Tho en
thusiasm was renowed when Mr. Whito,
thanking tho convention for tho courtesy
extended him, Introduced his successor.
It was continued, wlillo two of tho
Tennessee delegates carried upon tho
platform a framed vignette of tlio coat-of-urms
of that State, with pictures of tho
President ami ilia. Ulevclaiul, the
whole surmounted by a magnificent

and then, while the convention listened
in sllenco and with watchful attention,

"To stand, by your favor, In this place,

them, and their injunction to act with all
tho wisdom that God has given us to pro

them."
In vlow or tho fact that "our young
men under thirty havo heard moro in
their tlmo of the clash of arms and the
echoes of war than of tho principles of
government," General Collins then pro
ceeded to defino the cardinal doctrines of
tho Democracy as originally expounded
by Joil'crson and embodied in the Consti
tution. I'OIUUU.X IMMIOHATION,
Referring to tho fact that under the
benign Influence of these prluclplo. this
country had beeoiuo an asylum for the
oppressed from all other nations, tho
speaker said:
"Hut wo Invito and welcomo only
friends and liegemen to tho republic. Our
institutions cannot change to meet hos
tile wishes, nor to bo so much as sonsihly
modified savo by tho peaceful and dollb
orate action of tlio massofottr pcoploin

not a good American who, knowing what
wonro, by act or word, experiment or
thought, in any way will attompt to
weaken tho foundations of this splendid
political slructuro-tho republlo of tho
United States."
THE NEW EHA.
Twenty-eight years ago, continued tho
speaker, the Democratic party fell a vic
tim to its Intornal dissensions, nud ill its
temporary madness handed over tho po
litical government of all to tho control of
n minority, and tho Republican party suc
ceeded In retaining its power for twenty
four years. Then camo the change. Bald
General Collins :
"Tho day on which Grovor Cleveland

that all nature seemed oxuborantly to

giving security and confidence to all

"Wo meet to day under conditions new

"We stand now on tho edgo of another

or President Cleveland has triumphantly
justified his election. It compels the re

his raco was nover honored before. Thoy
sco a financial policy under which reck

for tho first tlmo an honest observance or
tho law governing the civil establishment,

"Upon that record and upon our earn

Tho speaker then mado an oarncst ap

country to continuo the relations which
they assumed towards tho Democratic
party four years ago in tlio namo or tho
great reforms which wcro then inaugura

"No President In time or pcaco had

Something of the dramatic effect which
would have marked suchnspcceli.tf I'liulr
man Collins had spoken without notes,
was lost, from the fact that ho read from
mniimcript. Rut tho audlonce was good
nattued as well as liberal .in its applause,
especially at tho mention of thu Piesl
dent's namo. Tho proposition that taxa
tion should bo only for needed expenses
was greeted by n lively outbreak, which
Indicated that most.ot those ilrotont had
licaul of tho Treasury surplus, and had
decided that It was a niouaco for tho na
tion's safety.
The l'lat form Not ltnudy,
Tho applauso was general when Chair

ami then tho convention tool; It easy for a
few moments, wlillo the numerous gen
tlemen who had been honored by their
selection as vice-presidents found their
way to tho staje. Order, once more se
cured, the delegates had an unpleasant
stirpriso in tho announcement by the
chairman that ho had received a commu
nication from tho Commlttco on Resolu

to present n roport until 8 p. in.
A murmur went through tho crowded
hall, and it was evident that the delega
tion was anything but satisfied with the
prospect of staying hero another night.
Nothing could bo done about It, however.
andDclcgAto Walters of Missouri availed
himself of tlio opportunity to submit a
long prenmbloand uscrlcs of resolutions,
which wcro read amid a good deal of
noise. A commilnlcatloli was then read
from Mrs. Virginia L. Minor and Mrs. K,

There wero chcors, laughter, Jeers,
Ironical applauso and shouts of "No."
Mr. O'Duuohuo of Now York offered n

Then dclegalo Charles K. Uoyloof Penn

Hut it happened that Delegate Timothy
J. Campbell of Now York had in his hand
a resolution expressing sympathy with
General Sheridan In his nines'), and
without stating its purport, asked unan
imous consent for its consideration. A
storm or objections was raised, from nil
parts of the hall, and it was not until Mr.
Campbell had stated that tlio resolution
in no way rererrcd to tho platform that
objection was withdrawn, and lie was al
lowed to proceed. Thero was applause
when its nature became apparent, and it
was adopted by n rising vote, all tho
delegates ns wolf as a majority or the vis

Woman .SulVraglitH Heard,
The representative oftho women or the
country was now presented. Sho proved
to bo Mrs. Mary Mcrrlwcathcr or St.

Prohibition Convention at Indianapolis.
So much confusion prevailed that sho
could not bo heard boyond tho platform,
and beforo sho was hair through with her
wrltton address cries of "tlmo'' compelled
her to como to an abrupt conclusion. She
retired from tho platform with great dis
appointment ami cuagrin.
An Uproar Started,
Mr. Barnum or Connecticut moved
that when tho convention adjourned It
Should bo until 10 o'clock to-morrow
morning. This was amended to bo at S
a, in. and 8 p. nt.
Great confusion prevailed, and, In tho
midst or the uproar, Delegate Hcnsel or
Pennsylvania moved that the convention
proceed to tho nomination of candidates
for tho Presidency and VIco-PrcsldOnoy',
but that no ballots bo taken until the
Committee on Platform had ropOrted.
llrown or Ohio asked that tho latter
c'auso bo stricken out, but, by a majority
vote, tlio convention refused to adjourn
and adopted Hcnsel's resolution.
Alabama Yields Its lllght.
The clerk commenced to call tho roll
and"a ballot was called for; The chairman
oftho Alabama delegation responded that
they tender the first placo on the call and
the right to speak to New York. This
brought Out great cheering, which was
renowed when Daniel Dougherty was
named as tho first orator to present tho

Renewed applause. At the mention or

"Tho climax was reached when, with
arms raised over his head and hands

Tho applauso was not a set cheer but a

In apparent pantomime. Flags, banners,
hats, everything within reach wcro
waved in the air, nnd trumpets, tin
whistles and bugles added to tho din.
As fast as the throats of ono delegation
gave out another took up tho cheers.
Then attention was turned to the Now
York delegation, tho banners of overy
State were hoisted high and a three times
three wero given for Dougherty and Ills
collcaguos.
In the enthusiasm or tho moment, tho
banners or Alabama and Tennessco weru
carried over Into the Now YorK section,
nnd the three waved in unison tho em
blematic union or tho North and tho
South being greeted with shouts rrom 10,
COO throats.
Fivo minutes passed by, than ten, then
fifteen, ami still tho convention was on
Its feet, cheering, shouting, waving any
fabric that came handy, and enjoyed
itself immensely. In all this time there
had not been a second's break in the con
tinuous volley of applause.
A New York dologato toro down the
eagle rrom the gallery and held it In tho
air over tho heads of his colleagues. A
lady In tlio gallery, waiting to sccuro a

Twenty minutes passed and the record
of the continued cheering that succeeded

At tlio end or twenty-two minutes tlio
chairman rapped vigorously for order,
and It was hardly restored, but again
cnthnslnsm broko out, and it was not
until 12:.T5, when tho applauso had lasted
just twenty-four minutes, that the tu

lasted just twenty-threo minutes to tho

(Julct reigned only for n moment, how
ever. Judge James A. McKonzlo or
Kentucky was Introduced to second iho
nomination, and when ho said that there
was only ono Democrat In tho country
moro popular than tho President, and
that tho fair lady oftho White House was
that one, applause camo out afresh.
Thero was moro of It when ho said
that Kentucky loved him fur tho fight
that was in film and for his splendid
racing qualities; that ho was as gamo as
Lexington and as speedy as Ton llrocck.
Tho convention quieted down only from
thecr exhaustion. It was a horsoman's
speech that Judgo McKonzlo made,
couched in horseman's language, and its
novelty would have captured Sven an ad

Them was a renewal of tho applauso

Atthe conclusion of Judge Twlgg- ie
