rapped for order in the convention.
Rev. Francis Edward (ireen, an Epis
copal minister, of Cedar Rapids, la.,
who has the distinction of having
prayed for peace and harmony at four
previous democratic conventions, was
introduced and delivered the invoca
tion. Senator Daniel was a commanding
fijrure as he stood by the ila'-d raped
desk announcing that the first business
of the day would be the reports of
committees. Then there came a pause,
for it was stated that the committee on
credentials, which always reports first,
was not ready with its recommenda
tions. Then Chairman Daniel put a

The committee on credentials having

introduced, and presented the report,
as follows:

In regard to the contest from the state of
Michigan, your committee is not yet ready to

This announcement was greeted with
storm or cheers. T. J. Mahoney,
one of the cold delegates from Ne
braska, made a brief speech of protest
lie and his colleagues, he said, well

understood that they were now to be
thrown out, and at "the head of the
delegation they marched out.
The report of the committee was
adopted by a viva voce vote.
While the strains of "Just Tell
Them That You Saw Me" were float
ing over the convention, the Nebraska
silver delegation came marching in
bearing on their shoulder their cham
pion, William J. Bryan. A big banner
accompanied the delegation. The huge
purple banner of the William J. Bryan
club was carried to the platform "and
planted in full view of the audience.
After ten minutes the chairman an
nounced that Gov. Altgeld moved that
the convention take a recess until five
o clock, and at 1:37 o'clock the conven
tion adjourned until Sve o'clock.
THE AITEKXOOX SESSION".
Chicago, July a At five o'clock the
convention band filled a half hour
with operatic airs and at 5:30 o'clock,
the committee on resolutions filed into
the enclosure. Ten minutes later
Chairman Daniel called the convention
to order, and announced that the core-
tiiittee on credentials tvas ready to re
Prt.
Wiicn the reailiu' cic-rk read the re
port seating four silver delegates from
Michigan, which changed the com
plexion of the delegation un ler the
unit rule, from gold to silver, there
w as considerable applause among the
silver men on the lioor. Ex-Congressman
John C. Crosby, of Massachusetts,
on behalf of the minority of the com
mittee, took the stage and earnestly
protested against the decision of the
majority. He spoke, he said, in be
half of IS states. When he had com
pleted a brief review of the merits of
the case, John II. Brennan, a Wiscon
sin gold delegate, followed with an
other protest. Gov. McLaurin, of Mis
sissippi, and others came to the defense
of the committee. Then Eliot G. Stev
enson stepped to the front and defi
antly told the convention it had no
right to turn out delegates elected by
a sovereign state; that by so doing it
would establish a precedentthat would
return to damn it. Manv others also
spoke and the whole affair gave evi
dence of intense feeling. Finally
Chairman Daniel put the question,
first, on the adoption of the minority
report to confirm the sitting delegates
in their title to the seats. The roll
was called and the vote announced:
Nays, jj?; ayes, 308; not voting, 3;
absent, 1.
Its announcement set the convention
afire with another tremendous ilame.
The silver men had their turn in ear
nest. The scene showed plainly the
complexion of the assembly, for this
time the delegates were the shouters
and the galleries remained silent, ex
cept in scattering patches. Senator
Daniel made efforts with his voice and
gavel to bo heard, but they were utter
ly ineffectual.
When order was restored the major
ity report which changed the Mich
igan delegation from gold to silver was
aaoptea wiinout division.
The report of the committee on per
manent organization was called for,
and Delegate Finlev. of Ohio, its chair-
man, made his way to the stage and
read the list of permanent officers se
lected, which was headed bv Senator
White, of California, for chairman;
Thomas J. Cogan, of Ohio, for secre
tary. Mr. McKnight, one of the silver del
egates from Michigan, protested
against the national committeeman,
Mr. Stevenson, who had been selected
by the delegation while it was still
gold itl complexion, and asked that all
selections made by the delegation be
withdrawn. Nebraska also protested
against the selections of the unseated
delegation. The selections of the new
Nebraska delegation were substituted
and the Michigan selections were with
drawn. Mr. Stevenson, on the latter
motion, attempted to secure a roll call,
but could find no delegate to second
his demand. Mr. Finley, Senator
Vest, of Missouri, and Judge McCon
nell, of Illinois, were appointed a com
mittee to escort Senator White to the
platfprm.
The appearance of tho distinguished
committee on platform with their
charge was the signal for a most
cordial reception. Temporary Chair
man Daniel, in yielding the gavel to
the California senator, made a most
graceful speech, thanking the conven
tion ior its courtcsv.
Senator Stephen M. White, of Cali
fornia, on assuming the gavel as per
manent chairman of the national dem.
ocratic convention spoke as follows:

Speech A Vote of Thanks to
Chairman Hurrity.
Chicago, July 8. The seats of the
delegates and alternates were lilled,
but there was a wide fringe of vacant
chairs on the outer edge of the gal
leries when, at U:i'J a m. , Chairman
Harrity, of the national committee,
raised his gavel, and as it dropped on
the desk with a sharp crack, requested
the l'ith national democratic convention
to come to order. He said: "The ser-geant-at-arms
will kindly see that the
aisles are cleared, and that everyone
shall take his or her seat. The aisles
SI
bknatoii damkr.. ti.mtonativ chair
;ian. must be cleared. The freiitleinen will
kindly take their seats as promptly as
possible.
In the course of a minute or so the
aisles were cleared and Chairman Ilar-
rity declared the convention in order
for the business before it. Continuing.
he said: "The proceedings of this con
vention will be opened with prayer,
which will be offered bv Rev. Ernest
M. Stires, rector of (Jrace Episcopal
church, of Chicago.
Kev. .Mr. Stires held in his hand a
roll of type-written manuscript, which.
after a moment, lie laid on the desk,
and picked up slip by slip, reading
from it the prayer, as lie could do with
out cxcilin? comment, as a representa'
tive of the Episcopal church.
S!r. Harrity "Gentlemen of the con
vention, by direction of the democratic
national committee, I desire to report
the following as the temporary organ
ization of the convention: For tem
porary chairman, Hon. David II. Hill,
of New York."
lhe mention of Senator Hill s name
Was received with tremendous nr
plause, the members of the I'ennsyl-
vama fieieguiion .standing on chairs
and waving Hairs. Some one called for
three cheers for David II. Hill, which
were given, and the band then played
Dixie. When the excitement had sub
suied Mr. Harrity resumed his an
nouncement as follows: "For tempo
rary secretary, Hon. Simon I'. Sheerin,
of Indiana. For sergeant-at-arras, Col
John I. Martin, of Missouri. Assistant
secretaries, reading clerks and tellers
have been reported to the secretary of
tne committee ana their names will be

SEXATOI! PAVID IS. IIII.I-
in accordance with the wish of a great
majority of this convention Tloud an-
plausel, I am authorized to present a
minority recommendation, which I
shall now offer as a substitute for a
part of the motion made by the chair
man of our national committee.
To the Democratic Convention: The under
signed, members of the national committee,
respectfully recommend that the name of Hon.
John V. Daniel, of Vir-inia. be substituted in
the committee report of thit of Hon. David
11. Hill, of New York, and that Hon. John
W. Daniel be chosen temporary chairman of
the convention.
This was signed by ?3 members of
the national committee.
Mr. Clayton continued: "I, there
fore, move that the minoritv rr.rm.
mendation of the
adopted, and that
Daniel, of Virginia,
porary chairman of
committee
be
Hon. John
be chosen tern
the convention
and upon that proposition, I demand a
vote by states and demand a roll calL"
This proposition seemed to meet the
approval of the majority of the con
vention, for there were loud cries of
satisfaction, with no opposing voices.
Mr. Thomas, of Colorado, got to his
feet, and, after several efforts, was
recognized by the chair. Uefore he
began to speak the chairman said:
"The chair thinks it his duty first to
state the question. The gentleman
from Alabama moves to substitute the
name of Hon. John W. Daniel, of Vir
ginia, for that of Hon. David It Hill,
of New York, aj temporary chairman
of this convention."
Mr. McDermctt. of New Jersey; ex
Gov. Waller, C S. Thomas, of" Colo
rado: William F. Tarpey, of Califor
nia; ex-Congressman John H. Fellows,
Mm
m
Delegate Marsden, of Louisiana; John
C. Duncan, of Texas: C. K. Ladd, of
Illinois; Gen. J. W. St. Clair, of West
Virginia, all said something for or
against the motion to substitute Hon.
John W. Daniel for Senator Hill as
temporary chairman.
National Committeeman Clayton, of
Alabama, closed the debate in favor of
electing Mr. Daniel. He paid a glow
ing compliment to Senator Hill. "I
was here four years ago,' said he,
"when the anti-snanpers were con
demning and denouncing him. At
that time I was praising him. He was
my champion. I learned democracy at
his feet, and if he had clung to his El
mira declaration in favor of free coin
age he would to-day be my candidate
for president"
The vote was then taken, with the
following result: Daniel, ;V.o; Hill,
340; not voting, 1.
The votes of several states were
challenged, Iowa among others, and
the convention hail an onnnrtunitr to
j
applaud Gov. Stone, of Missouri, who
arose to matte a parliamentary inquiry,
which brought from Chairman Harrity
the ruling that when the vote of a
state action under the unit rnl was
questioned a roll call might be had to
uctermine wnetner the win oi the ma
jority had been correctly announced.
The challenge of Iowa's vote resulted
in a showing ot 17 ayes and nine nays.
so that 20 were recorded aye. This
Iowa roll call necessitated the an
nounccmeut of Horace Hoies, who is
accredited as a delegate, but the Boies
men missed the opportunity for a dem
onstration ana no cheer was heard.
The chairman "Thi tellers ;i rr in
their tally and report the vote as fol-
lows: Ayes. ...jb; nays, a4'J; not voting,

the gentleman from Alabama, substi
tuting tne name ot Hon. John V. i)an
iel. of Virginia, for that of David II
Hill for the temporary chairmanship
of this convention, is adorned."
This signal victory of the silver men
was greeted with an ovation from the
convention, and regarded as conclusive
of their strenirt li.
The chairman attempted to restore
order by hammering with his gavel
upon the desk. Scrgeaut-at-Arms
John I. Martin, of St. Louis, came to
his rescue, and in a voice of command
directed every delegate to take his
seat. He also ordered his assistants to
clear the aisles. When order had been
restored, the chairman said: "Unless
objection be made, the chair will re
gard the vote which lias just been an
nounced as a practical rejection of the
vote of the national committee, and
will consider it unnecessary to put it
to a formal vote. There being no ob
jection, the chair vsili appoint as a
committee of three, to escort Hon.
John W. Daniel to the chair, Hon. J.
F. Jones, of Arkansas; Hon. It. P.
Keating, and Hon. Stephen M. White,
of ( 'al if or n ia."
When Chairman Daniel was escorted
to Uk- chair k was greeted with
mighty cheers. As soon as quiet could
be restored he drlivcred his speech,
which was a len.'t hy effort. He sai i,
among other tilings, that "an interna
tional agreement J or tile restoration
of the metals to an equality v.culd le
a bond of mankind which would enable
us to regulate the two metals upon a
parity." The closing part of his speech
was as follows:
The majority of this convention I have the
honor here to represent maintain that this
preat American nation, with a natural base of
tixed empire, the jr.-erueat ever established by
man, with more territory and more productive
energy than Great Britain, France and Ger
many combined, without dependence upon
European nations for anything they produce,
and with Kuropean cations dependent upon
much that we produce, is fully capable
of restoring the constitutional money
system of pold and sliver at equality
with each other. And as our fathers in
177(5 declared our national independence of all
the world, so to-day has the trreat democratic
party, founded by Thomas Jefferson, the
author of that declaration, appeared here in
Chicago to declare the financial independence
of the United States of all other nations and
to invoke ail true Americans to assert by their
suftrag-cs at the polls that our country tuay be
placed where she by ri-ht belongs, as the
freest and foremost: as the most prosperous
and hanuiest nation thatfvpr hlrvi,i h m
of mankind upon this globe.
When Chairman Daniel had finished
his speech he said: "Gentlemen of the
convention, I now announce that the
national democratic convention i in
session and is ready to proceed to the
ousiness ot permanent organization.
Loud cries of 'Hill. Hill.M r.nti-

Washington, D. C, July 8. An
other big increase in the exports of
American manufacturers during May
makes the record for the fiscal year
189G the bauner year in the history
of American manufacturing exports.
The month of May showed manuftc
turing export to the amount of
S22,K;0,99J, and the 11 mouths end
ing with Mey shows such exports
to the amount of 8200,591,091. This
is an increase of neatly $10,000,000
over the same 11 months of 1S95.
and already carries the figures from
the fiscal year $23,500,000 hi-her
than an earlier year withow allowing
a dollar for the exports of June
barely holds its own the manufactur
ing exports of 189G will be $224.-
000,000, or $40,000,000 higher than
in any preceding year. The percent
age to total exports will bo more
than 2. per cent, which is 2 per cent
more than in 1895 and double the
percentage of manufacturing exports
in 1880.
The figures for the 11 months iust
closed show that flm
uvfcV.lOl3 J A
$40,000,000 over 1895 is male up to
the extent of only $14,000,000 of an
increase in mineral oils. The other
items which show an increase are
such as are made with peculiar fekill
and at low cost by American labor
ana machinery. Great Britain nlor,
shows an increase from $2,l2o,78(i
le her imports of machinerv frnm
the United States in 1895 to $3,199,-
Zbo in 189G. The total exuorts nf
manufacturers of iron and Bteel in
creased from 29,076,658 in 189;-; in
$37,337,67S in 189G; carriages, cars,
