THE STUFFED PROPHET. Clovoland Was Nominated on tho First Ballot. WKlMiLE OVER THE I'LATIOKM. The Unterrlfled Were In Session All NIKht Hill and Boles Were Not In the Race. Chicago, June L-i;Vtry man, spectator or delegate, who held a ticket, knew full well as lie went to the wigwam thin afternoon that he fore the session was over the battle would be on. The atmosphere wan charged heavily with moist lire. Men in the galleries took off their coatH, and how fie women main tained life none but themselves knew. The Xew York delegation came first into the hall and a genu ine Taminaiiy yell came from the benches immediately behind the al ternates. The cry of "Hill" went up, but a sound like escaping steam shot from the lloor and grew to a whistling, hissing storm. The great storm, however, snbsiled when Wilson thumped the desk and the session began. Rev. Thomas Green offered prayer. At the conclusion of the prayer tin? band rennered "America." W. W. Van Diver of Georgia moved that the convention adjourn until Jl o'clock to-morrow. The motion was lost. The an nouncement was received with cheers. The ResolutlonsfOff erect. During the time which elapsed af ter the calling'of the convention to order, ami before the committee on resolutions were ready to report, caucussing among the different delegations progressed with great activity. When the chairman an nounced that the comir'ttee on res olutions was ready to report, howls of approval rose from all quarters. Col. Jones, chairman of the commit tee, mounted the platform amid great cheers and said: "I am in structed by the committee on reso lutions to present, as the report of the committee, the following reso lutions and move their adoption." Patterson of Colorado interrupted witn the announcement that he represented the minority of the committee and wished to state that the minority expected to be heard before the previous question was put. Vilas of Wisconsin then read the platform, in which the administra tion of Cleveland was lauded and the McKinley bill denounced. Reciprocity also received its full share of abuse. Thesilverquestion was completely straddled. "We de nounce the republican legislation known as the Sherman act of ISiXJas a makeshift, fraught with possibili ties of danger in the future which should make all of its supporters, as well as its author, anxious for its speedy repeal. We hold to the use of both gold and silver as the standard money of the country and to the coinage of both gold and sil ver without discrimination against either metal or charge for mintage." The above is a pa-t of 4'ie!r silver plank. Jones moved the adoption of the, platform as read, but Xeal of Ohio, interrupted with an amendment to the section relating to the tariff moving to s ike out the section pertaining to the tariff on words preceeding the denunciation of ?Ic Kinley and substitute therefor the following; "We denounce republican protec tion as fraud. Cheers. It taxes the labor of the great majority of the American people for the bene fit of the few. Cries of "Read it Again." We declare it to be a fun damental principle of f Me democrat ic party that the federal govern ment has no constitutional pow er to impose and collect tariff du ties except for purposes of revenue only, and we demand that the col lection of such taxes shall be limit ed to the necessities of the govern ment, when it is most economically administered." Watterson Opens Up. In pursuance of a request, the sec retary read the minority report, amid applause. A demand being made for the portion to be stricken out, the secretary read the portion relating to the tariff, after which Xeal addressed the convention in advocacy of his amendment. InVe sponse to a call Henry Watterson took the platform, his appearance being greeted with prolonged chees. He had read an extract from the tariff plank of the national dem ocratic convention of 197o, and after ward, among other things, said: "When I listened to the extraordi nary essay we have heard this after noon, I asked myself whether we were indeed a democratic conven tion or simply a republican conven tion (laughter and applause) revised by James G. Blaine or Benjamin K. miller, for the tarilf planks we list ened to are almost identical in nrin ciple with the minority report nub. nutted to the democratic convention -y JKiijnmin F.

Cries of "No, no," and "Vilas."" Vilas Comes Back, r . nas men look the platform and when the cheers had subsided, stiid: tlTl... . . - - M ... m- it-soi 111:011 winch you propo.se to strike out was a resolution re ported to 1 lie convention of 1SS4, and of all the eloquent voices lifted in behalf of it, none rung with such blissful joy as that of the distin guished gentleman from Ken tucky."

Laughter and applause). It ia sound doc trlae; eminently so.'" Vilas, con tinning, said: "I do not propose to enter into a debate or discussion as to the particular form of words in which we declare o;:r opposition to tarilf legislation. I desire only to suggest that if it please you, take 111 mis torm words and leave that there also upon which Cleveland was elected president." The Trouble of 1 8S4-. Watlerson replying to Vilas, said; In 1SS1 the party seemed to be split wide open, and after fifty-two hours of unbroken discussion in the plat form committee, the best that the mutiei.iie a:m conse ative mem bers of the committee, mvself among the number, could obtain as a common ground to stand upon was the platform of 1SS4 in that con vention. But since that time we have a second Morrison bill, the Mills bill, the message of the presi dent in 1SS7, the great campaign of euiicauou oi man, and, l say to my self, my God, is it possible that in lS'.rj we have got to go back for a tarilf plank to the straddle of ISSIr"' Jones took the platform and stat ed, on behalf of the committee on resolutions that they we are ready to adopt the amendment of the gen tleman from Omaha as as amend ment to the tariff section. The secretary called the roll on the amendment which was carrietl bv a vote f .tiu in .-:-! After the platform had been dis posed with, Chairman Wilson said the roll would be called for nomina tions.

As was generally expected the democrats have repeated their doings of four years ago and have igain nominated Grover Cleveland for president and it only remains now to see whether Hill will keep his word or whethei he will into line and support Cleveland. The democrats have done just what the republicans wished them to do. They have nominated Cleveland for president. He is the weakest man they could have selected. The democrats held a late session last night. At 3:25 this morning they Nominated Cleveland on the first ballot for their candidate for president. He received GIGV2 votes and Hill received only 112 votes.
