HILL The Platform Committee, After All Night Session, Declares For “i6 to i” By a Vote of 27 to 25. The national Democratic convention was called to order at Kansas City at noon Wednesday by Chairman Jones. It was an inspiring scene that the chairman looked out upon when, with a rap with his gavel he stilled the tu mult and declared the convention open. About him were fully 25,000 people rising tier on tier like the spectators in some vast coliseum, while on either side stretched away the rows accommodating representa tives of the press from every section of the country. The Rev. Dr. S. M. Neel, pastor of the Central Presbyterian church, Kansas City, offered prayer. The Democratic mayor of Kansas City, James A. Reed, welcomed the delegates to the city. A yell of ap plause greeted his announcement that the convention was gathered upon Democratic soil and as the guests of a Democratic constituency that bad always been in the forefront in the po litical lights of the country. The delegates and spectators had listened with rapt attention to the ad dress, but heartily applauded the closing sentences. Senator Hill entered just at this mo ment, and the applause turned to him. “Hill, of New York;” “Hill, Hill!” they shouted. “Let’s hear Hill,” with a few hisses interspersed was all that could be heard, until the chairman finally rapp ed the hall to order. A few minutes later they renewed the call, but the audience was impa tient to get on with the proceedings and showed their disapproval with hisses. When finally the chairman was able to make his voice heard he introduced Governor Thomas, of Colorado, the temporary chairman. A round of applause greeted Gov ernor Thomas as he ascended the platform und began his speech. The delegates fretted during the de liverance of the speeches and sought more exciting themes, The second dramatic episode of the day occurred after Campau, of Michigan, had secur ed the adoption of a resolution for the reading of the declaration of inde pendence. As the reading was about to begin two attendants pushed up to the platform bearing a pedestal and bust, both draped in stars and stripes. As the orator raised his voice for the first words of the immortal instru ment, the draperies were thrown back diclosing a splendid head of Bryan. The effect was electrical upon the vast assemblage, which up to the moment had neither heard name nor seen the face of their leades. At 2:31 p. m. the convention ad journed until 4 p. m. At 4 o’clock, however, the committee was not yet ready to report and another adjourn ment was taken until 8:30 p. in. It remained for the night session to bring the most remarkable demon stration of the entire day. For the first hour the proceedings were formal and profitless, but when, at the close of the speech of Permanent Chairman Richardson, he paid a glowing tribute to William J. Bryan, pandemonium broke loose and the historic scene of Bryan’s nomination at Chicago was repeated, even exceeded, in a frenzied demonstration lasting half an hour. The state standards were wrenched from their sockets aud borne aloft, a battle ef supremacy was waged be tween the standard bearers, urged on by the deafening applause of the en tire shouting, gasticulating multitude. Outside of the formal proceedings of the day, interest had centered in the action of the platform room. As the evening advanced it became known that a determined struggle was in pro gress, involving not only the question of incorporating a specific 16 to 1 declaration in the party declarations, but to some extent involving the de sires of the prospective nominee as to the terms of the platform. While awaiting the committee’s re port, ex-Governor Altgeld, of Illinois, entertained the convention with a speech. He unwittingly touched off a mine by using the expression in dis cussing the attitude of certain Demo crats toward the silver question, “now, my friend Hill.” That was as far as he got for several minutes. The name of Hill again started the uproar that had marked the first session of the convention. From all sides of the hall, and particularly from the southern delegates, came loud cries of “Hill,” “Hill.” Mingled with calls for the New Yorker came hisses in plenty, and, de spite the vigorous use of the gavel, all semblance of order was lost aud noth ing could be heard save the calls of “Hill” and the disapproving hisses. The band in the gallery struck up a lively air, but as soon as it subsided the uproar was as great as ever, the California delegation being prominent in calling for Hill. It was not possi ble for Governor Altgeld to continue immediately. As the committee on rules declared itself ready to report, Governor Altgeld discontinued his ad dress and left the platform. The report of the committee on rules was read and adopted. The report of the committee on per manent organization brought on ap plause. When it was announced that Hon. J. D. Richardson, of Tennessee, had been selected as permanent chair man, cheers swept over the great audi ence. Chairman Thomas, after announc ing the adoption of the report, with out debate appointed a committee con sisting of Former Governor McCreary, of Kentucky; Daniel Campau, of Michigan, and Mayor Phelan, of San Francisco, to escort the permanent chairman to the platform. Mr. Richardson repeatedly bowed his acknowledgments of the cheers that swept in wave after wave through the hall. The first token of approval given to his address was that which greeted his first mention of 16 to 1. The applause however, was rather feeble and scat tering. Much more energetic was the shout that followed the declaration that the coming campaign was to be a trial of the republic against the em pire. Twenty minutes after Chairman Richardson had mentioned the name of Bryan, which, like the wave of a magician, had conjured up a scene that has seldom been witnessed in a convention, he began to rap for order; but the delegates were not yet ready to yield the floor, even to the chairman of the convention. The band in the gallery started a patriotic air, and despite the continuous efforts of Chair man Richardson to restore order, the demonstration continued for half an hour. Order was finally sufficiently re stored to enable the chairman to recognize Delegate J. G. Johnson, of Kansas, who made a motion that the convention adjourn until 10:30 o’clock a. m. Thursday. At 10:34 the chairman declared the convention adjourned. COMMITTEE SETTLES SILVER ISSUE. The platform committee, after being in session all night, decided at 3:40 o’clock Thursday morning, for an ex plicit declaration for silver coinage at 16 to 1. The vote stood 27 to 25. OREGON SAFELY FLOATED. The Trouble Now Is to Find a Dock Large Enough to Re ceive Gigantic Battleship. The United States battleship Ore gon, which ran on a rock off the Chi nese coast on June 28th, has been floated. Secretary Long Tuesday morning received the following cable message from Lieutenant Key, naval attache at the United States legation at Tokio, Japan, in regard to docking the Ore gon: “Tokio, July 3. —Secretary of Navy, Washington: Port Arthur too narrow. If Oregon cannot dock at Nagasaki, Japanese navy department tenders use of Kure or Yokoksuka docks. Offer any assistance desired. Has ordered Akitisushima from Che Foo to the Oregon. Have cabled Wilde offer of docks. Key.” The naval officials are disappointed at the statement that the Oregon can not be docked at Port Arthur, as that place is only about sixty miles distant from where she struck. Nagasaki is 600 miles, and can be reached only by the Oregon venturing far outside of smooth waters. If the docks there are too small, then she must pash on to the Yokoksuka docks. These are located just below Yokohama* Tapan, in the harbor. MANY BODIES RECOVERED. Death Lilt of the Great Fire at Hoboken, J., Still Grow*. A New York special says: Up to 11 o’clock Wednesday night 128 bodies had been recovered from the waters of the North river, victims of the disas ter to the North German Lloyd Steam ship line and docks. There are yet over 125 people missing. Ik IIUI BIKING CIHI, Winder, Georgia. Paid In Capital $25,000.00. THOS A. MAYNARD, President. A. A. CAMP, i Vice-Presidents. W. H. TOOLE, Cashier. T. A.
