Against this Colonel Guffey and hlB llfutenanta, pule nnd gesti culating wildly, sought to Interpose a pro test. But it was of no avail. For a time p.uidemonlum prevailed and sm oth running machinery consigned the question to the credentials committee, where Mr. Bryan's adherents are supreme, and the Ouffey forces retired full of wrath. The presenta tion of resolutions of respect to the memory of Cleveland brought to the front two notable figures. Judge Tarker of New orl:, he democratic candidate of four years ago. and Governor Morris, one of the surviving members of the Cleveland cabinet. The resolution adopted emenated from Mr. Bryan's friends and were presented by I. J. Dunn of Nebraska, who wlll.makj tho nominating speech for llrynn. . They were no sooner read than shouts of "Parker. Tarker," showed , the generous temper of the convention toward the former lender. Judge Parker was prevailed upon to mount the platform, where be read his awn resolutions of tribute to Mr. Cleveland, closing with a concession to the Bryan forces by seconding the resolutions pre sented by them. With the adoption of the resolutions the convention adjourned until noon tomorrow. Tagrart ltenchea Hall. National Chairman Taggart reached the convention hall at 11:45 o'clock, accom panied by Temporary Chairman Bell and they wera liberally applauded as they made their way to tho platform. The delegates and spectators were pouring more rapidly Into the hall at this hour, and there was tho u.nial hum of ccnfuslon that always marks the. approach of the convening hour. When the Georgia, delegation reached the hall it was announced that the position they will take on the preeidentlul nomina tion will be determined at a meeting to be hetd at ' '9:80 o'clock tomorrow morning. This question wat to have been decided at the meeting held this morning, but by unanimous action,' a postponement was or dered. It was stdted that the Georgia, dele gation wouKJ -ajt as a, unit when a decision was reached. Caret Falls at Xoon. At 1 o'clock promptly Chairman Thomas Taggart of the national committee brought down his gavel with a resounding whack and called the convention to order. Cheers followed the blew of the gavel, and Chair man Taggart, as soon as they had sub sided, spoke as follows: As chuirrran of 'tho democratic national committee, It becomes my plctiilng duly :u call this convention to order; and In so f.ilng 1 cannot refrain from the suggestion tl'at In numbers, In the personnel of th 1 legates.

The Wolverines compromised by laying It on the floor . beneath their seals. ' After all the delegations had been sM?d with the exception of Nebraska, the dele gation from that state made a spectacular entrance. They came marching In a solid column down the center aisle holding high a large banner of red, white and blue silk on which was painted a portrait of Mr. Bryan. Above the picture were the words, "Bryan Volunteers." and beneath It, "of Nebraska." Tho sight of the banner and the march of the Nehraskans created great enthusiasm for a few minutes, many of the delegates and alternates leaping upon their chairs and waving hats end handker chiefs. California followed Nebraska into the hall and vied with that delegation in the splendor of a banner in white, blue and gold, which also bore a likeness of Mr. Bryan. Tho Callfornlnns carried palm leaf fans and small national flags, which they waved In enthusiastic acknowledge ment of the cordial greetings accorded them by the delegations already in the hall. Following Mr. Taggart's remarks, the secretary read the official call of the con vention. Prayer of Bishop Keane. Bishop John J. Keane of Wyoming, was introduced to deliver the Invocation, dele gates and spectators rising to their feet at the request of the chairman. The bishop read his prayer as follows: . Prayer of Bishop Keane. Oh God, from whom all public authority di rives Its power, by whose will the ob ligations of obedience to human laws are securely established on motives of con science, and Judgments are decreed In Justice, look with favor upon this conven tion so representative of a soverign peo plea people blessed through the disposi tion of Thy province, with a remarkable national policy, such as the world never saw before, or elsewbere, and which It is so pleasant to live under. Bless Its mem bers, Ita work. Us alms. Grant that It may be eminently wise In Its deliberations and wisely, disinterested in its decisions. Inspire each n. ember witn a ueep sense of his responsibility. Give him strength to overcome the prejudices of perconal and sectional Interests, and to seek for his guidance calmly reasoned conviction. In rplre him to maintain and encourage that h gher level of thought, that enhanced sjnso of responsibility, that better life, political and social, wmcn secure true national greatness. May we all realize that the' blood of a nation may be drained less nobly than on the battlefield; that every capacity for high and generous exertion, for cheerful endurance of suffering at the bidding of duty, that all the stock of moral force upon which a country can rely In Its hour of trial must be encouraged and fostered if our glorious Institutions are to endure; that the security of a people which Is great by virtue of personal liberty and Individual Initiative depends more on high virtue than on strength of arms; that peace and pros perity are Insured better by the Influences u f rellgluii, which make for Ideal citizen ship, than by the extension of territorial lines. In this faith we pray Thee, of whom the suffrage, the law oe social system, hold, to make that the work of this con vention may exhibit and embody the divine Idea. Flashlight Daring Prayer.

"I tm directed by the national commit tee," said Chairman Taggart, "to name the temporary officers of the convention. The clerk will read the list." The names were then announced by the cleik. The name of Theodore A. Dell was greeted with an outburst of applause, as was that of Urey Woodson, the secretary. A few handclaps followed each of the oth?r names as they were called. The Hut as read was adopted by the convention, unani mously. Chairman Taggart appointed Governor Blanchard of Louisiana, Lieutenant Gov ernor Ellyson of Virginia and Representa tive Ollle James of Kentucky as a com mittee of three to escort Temporary Chair man Bell to the speaker's rostrum. Before Mr. Bell spoke, Chairman Tag gart requested that there should be no smoking In the hall. The announcement was greeted with applause. The secretary read a list of persons for whom teltgrams had been received. Among the names were those of Colonel James M. Guffey, Alton B. Parker and Governor Haskell of Oklahoma. The mention of each was a signal for applause from dif ferent sections of the auditorium. Chalrmnn Bell Introduced. "Gentlemen of the convention," said Mr. Taggart, as the commltteo of three ap peared on the platform with Chairman Bell, "I take pleasure in introducing to you your temporary chairman, Theodore A. Bell." An instant shout of applause greeted the words of the chairman and as the temporsry chairman advanced to the front to deliver his address, the cheers were redoubled. Mr. Bell is about five feet ten Inches In height, slender, clean shaven, brown eyed and brown haired. He wis garbed In the conventional afternoon attire. His voice Is clear and penetrating and he had no difficulty In commanding the close and Instant attention of the con vention.

Nothing; Disturbs Murphy, A flashlight exploded directly In front of the platform while Mr. Bell was speaking and aent a shower of red-hot powder and parks scattering among the New York delegation, and the antics of the members In dodging and brushing away the fire brands caused a wave of laughter. Charles P. Murphy, leader of Tammany Hall, was d'rectly In the line of fire, but sat placid whl'a his lieutenants on either side snapped the sparks from h s shoulders.

As Mr. Bell approached the subject of the sntl-lnjunctlon plank, the attention of the convention was quickened and his state ment that the republican declaration on that subject was merely a recital of exist ing law called out Increased applause. Still greater cheering followed the de claration "wherever we do on this subject must be done firmly, frankly snd un equivocally." and this wss In turn inten sified when he asserted that Injunctions must not be turned into "an Instrument of tyranny." Mr. Bell railed out nncther demonstration when ho sharply criticised the republican rarty for Its refusal to adopt a plank call ing for the publicity of campaign contribu tions prior to election day. He declared the refusal of the republicans to adopt "a cash register" was a "confession of dishonesty." The declaration of the spesker in favor of the direct election of United States sena tors by the people also was cheered on th.t main floor and In the galleries. A stand for protection against Immigration "front oriental waters" caused a renewal of tht applause, which seemed eer near the sur face and burst forth time and tlm again. At the conclusion of the speech the dele gates rose to their feet and cheered Mr. Bell for some time. Committers Appointed. As the first order of business Mr. iJell recognized Mr. John E. Lamb of Indiana, who offered 'a motion for a call of the Mates for membership on th? various stand ing committees of the convention. The motion was adopted. There was much confusion as the roll ot states was begun, many delegates lealng their places. The reading clerk, whn he came to Ar kansas, pronounced the name of the state like Kansas, and there Immediately carte a shout of protest from the delegation, whose members shouted back: "Ar-kan-saw." Amid laughter the clerk corrected his pronunciation. , "Indian Territory." called the clerk, "Ire dian Territory." There wa no response, and the clcr't called the name a third time. "She's married," yelled a delegate. "I mean Oklahoma," said the clerk, and the list went up to the chairman's stand amid much laughter. The calling of the states soon ceased and the names of the commltteeb were sent up by the pages, while other business was In progress. Dunn Presents Resolution. The chair recognized I. J. Dunn of Omaha, Neb., to present the resolutions of respect to the memory of the late Gtrover Cleveland, prepared at a con ference of the friends of Mr. Bryan thlb morning. The convention committee on resolutions approved the Cleveland tribute as offered. Charles Bryan, a brother of the candi date, was a member Of the conference. Tho recognition of Mr. Dunn shut off the Parker resolution. The resolution says: As It hua pleased the ruler of the uni verse to remove from our midst Grover Cleveland, late president of the United States, who u three times the candidate of the democratic carty. be It Resolved, That we, the delegates of the party In national convention assembled recognise In him 'one of the strongest and ablest characters known to tho world's statesmanship, who possessed in an extraordinary degree the elements of leadership, ana oy me. aoie, conscientious and forceful administration of public af fairs reflected honor upon his country and upon the party, and Resolved.

Hut I ppeak to those resolutions not only becnueo he was my friend, but I waa a member of his official family. I think that this convention will honor lt elf by doing credit to his memory, and It can do Justice to him without reflect ing upon the living. A man, wno for eight years administered the affairs of this great country with honor to the country and honor to himself, a these resolutions state, Is worthy of being honored by any ansemblage of American citizens. (Applause). A man who has been honored by the democratic party more than any other man haa been by that organization, having been named In three consecutive contests as Its stand ard bearer. Is worthy of recognition by any assemblage of democrats. (Applause.) Man Worthy of All Honor. A man who held for two terms the highest honor within the gift of the people of the world Is worthy of all honor. I am not hero to pronounce an eulogy upon Grover Cleveland. No resolution, in my Judgment, commending his life and ser vices could be too etrong. (Applause). He defended the faith of his fathers. He preserved Inviolate the prerogatives of the executive, and never entrenched upon the rights of tho Judiciary of the legisla tive branches of the government. He made the first courageous fight against trusts and monopolies of this country, by his celebrated tariff message of 1887. And he waa not deterred from sending that message to the congress of the United States by being told that it would Jeoparlze his election and the suc cess of the party. He sent the message to the congress of the United States be cause he knew It was right and If it was right, he knew that he and the party could afford to wait. Defeat ensued, but after four years more rolled -around, the democratic party and the people of the country approved of that message ana ratified his action by re-electing him ..i.i..r, ..r tl,u t'nltf1 states.

He was the first provident of the United States after Monroo who gave ex pression forcefully and established beyond all cavil the Monioe doctrine. Now, mv friends, this great democratic party which we here represent, which hon ored him by making him our standard bearer, as 1 have said, for three consecu tive elections, has always been successful when united. Let us now oury an ti uio dissensions of the paat. (Greut applause). Not only every democrat, but every citi zen of the United States should be proud of the record that this great American has made. (Applause.) His courage w.is beyond question, his ability acknowledged. His fidelity to his convictions was known and recognized by friend and foe alike. I,et us, therefore, my friends, in paying this tribute to our departed leader bury In his newly made gTave all the dissensions that have hitherto divided us. (Applause.) Peace to the ashes of this defender of -the faith. (Applause.) Honor to the memory of this happy warrior. I thank you. (Great applause.) The address of ex-Governor Francis was punctuated with frequent applausa and a terrific shout greeted the words, "Let us now bury all dissensions of the past," many delegates rising to their feet and cheering lustily. At the conclusion of Governor Francis' address, the chair recognized Colonel W. A. Haldoman of Kentucky. "Speaking for Kentucky and for Ken tucklans," said Colonel Haldeman, "and ha the personal and political friend of Mr. Cleveland, I wish to second the motion of tho gentleman from Nebraska, and to endorse every word that Governor Francis lias said. Judge Parker Called For. "It is moved and seoondfd," began Chair man Bell, but he was at once interrupted ty cries of "Parktr," "Parker," which came from all parts of the hall. Judgo Parker paid no attention at first, but the cheering and cr!;s continued to grow. The galleries Joined the dela tions In the chtt'.'lng and applause, as finally Judge Parker arose and made his way to tho platform. Iowa seemed to start Ihe cries for Parker, but when the Judge yielded to the shouts for his recognition, the New York delegation led the cheers. Judge Parker said: "It wu my purpose, had I been fortunate enough to first secure the attention of the chairman to offer the following: Be It Resolved. That before undertaking the Important work confronting us, we, Ihe epresentatlves of the democratic party, In national convention assembled, record our profound grief at the great loss sustained by the country and civilization In the death of Grover Cleveland. We honor him as a true statesman, who kept Inviolate the faith, bequeathed by Thomas Jefferson to this time-honored or ganization of the people. We recall with greatful appreciation th signal services he tendered In maintaining Jealously the Just distribution ot powers guaranteed by the constitution to the ex ecutive, legislative and Judicial depart ments of our government: in Insisting thai no greater burdens be Imposed upon the people by taxation than Is necessary to administer the government economically; In striking at the root of the growing evils of special privilege and trust monopoly by demanding tariff reduction: In making practical application of the principle of civil service reform under the motto, "A public office is a public trust." We revere hlra as a patriot who never fallnd to denounce wrong and uphold right wherever found, whose courage was un mistakable, whose Integrity was unques tioned, whose adherence to his high Ideals could not be shaken. We dtplure his death as that of the first rrt lien of the United States the pre-eminent embodiment of the political and social truths, that from unselfish service comes the noblest power, that the power of In fluence is vastly greater than the might of authority. Finally, we commend to American youths the study ot this moat striking eza-nple of universal honor and reverence won by true character through sturdy adherence to un dying principles, and. we hereby direct the officers of tills convention to frsnsmlt bv tlegrvh to Mrs. Cleveland.

The former stands rd-besrer of the demo cratic party read his resolution in a ring ing voice, and he was accorded the most careful attention through the reeding of his resolution, frequent applause compelling him to halt ths delivery. Parker Seconds Dinn'i Motion. At the ending of Ms reading, Judge Par ker Joined In ths Dunn resolution by say ing. "And therefore, I beg leave to second the motion of the gentleman from Ne braska." rUpe'U'd cheers followed ths dtstlnguishrd speaker ss he returned to his seat in the New York delegation. . The question of adopting the Nebraska resolution was put and concurred In by s rising vote. The cba rman stated that two sets of c re mittee appointments had been sent to the chair from Pennsylvania, evldenc'ng a dis pute or misunderstanding in that state. Ollle James was recognised In the move that all matters In dispute as to contests, etc.. be referred to ths committee on Cre dentlals. Governor Haskell seconded the motion, but John M. Garman -of Pennsylvania wss on his feet clamoring for recognition, which he finally received. He desired to have the question of the regularity of the contesting Pennsylvania delegation threshed out t n the floor at once. Goffer Takes Part. Mr. Garman wss Interrupted by cries ot "order" and "question," but was allowed to conclude when Colonel J. M. Guffey went down the aisle asking for recognition. A dozen other delegates were on their feet when Mr. Bell declared the convention must proceed in regular order, the only question bring as to whether or not the matter should be sent to the committee on credentials. Don't you want a ruling?" said Chairman Bell, and then he gave it without watting for a reply, saying: 'The point of order is not well taken." Mr. Garman moved as s substitute to the motion of Mr. James that ths list sent to the desk by the majority of the delegates from Pennsylvania be accepted ss the only proper list of committeemen. The chairman, however, refused to enter tain the amendment and declared the mo tion of Mr. James the only matter before the convention. Gaffey 'White With Rage. Colonel Guffey secured recognition finally and spoke briefly, and as he concluded his address he turned back down the aisle and when the chair called for the ayes and noes he turned and with a face white with wrath shouted: "We demand a roll call." and the cry was taken up by other members of the Pennsylvania delegation and seconded from a dozen parts of the hsil. Tho chairman, however, called for the vote amid great confusion and cries of "roll call" from the Ouffey people and shouts of "sit down," which were hurled at them from all aides of the hall. The viva voce 'vote seemed overwhelm ingly in favor of tho motion of Mr. James and the chairman so declared, while Colonel Guffey, Mr. Garman and others of his friends shouted derisively. After the an nouncement by the chairman of the meet ing places of the various committees, all of winch were ordered to assemble at S p. m., the convention adjourned until 13 o'clock tomorrow In respect to the memory of Mr. Cleveland. THEODORE BKI.L, SotKDI KEYNOTE California Democrat Makes Opening Speech of Convention. DENVER, July T. Theodore a! Bell de livered the address at the opening of the democratic convention today, speaking as follows: We have assembled at a time when the public conscience in demanding honesty of Purpose of the men who undertake to direct he affairs ot stste. The publlo eye Is Keenly sensitive to every political move ment and our proceedings here will be approved according to the degree of sin cerity appearing In the work of this con vention. There Is a widespread belief, founded upon evidence of a convincing character, that the party in power has not been true to Its trust, that it haa be trayed the common interest into the hands of our enemies of good government, therery forfeiting its right and destroying Its ability to rule In the name of the people. Apparent to every one la the fact that down deep in the heart of the republican convention at Chicago there wss a feeling of anger and resentment over the popular clamor for reform; and it is equally patent that there is no bona fide Intention on the part of the republloan party of granting any reforms. If the machinery of that farty can be retained In present hands, ts paper platform, divided like ancient Gual Into three parts baren promises, makeshifts and evasions, It Is hoped will make a good campaign transparency; but no one seriously believes that the re publican party Indorses that neutral manu script which helil the convention together until It could ratify the nomination ot a presidential candidate. Approaching our great task In a manlv, dignified manner, imbued with the loftiest sentiments of patriotism, ambitious to throw every safeguard around the liberties of our people, determined to stamp out the abuses thst are consuming the substance to the nation, let us proceed to our ap pointed duty with the sustaining con sciousness that we sre responsible alono to God and to our country for the Justice of our cause. Doty of the Convention. There are three things that this conven tion should do. It ought to present in plain and Intelligible manner the serious Industrial end political conditions that are disturbing the peai:e and happiness of our country. We should then proceed to a courageous exposure nf the republican policies that are co-operating with private greed In the general oppression of the peo ple. Most Important of all, we must fi ll I lilt a readiness and ability to sraap the problems of the hour and to effect their solution In a manner that will satisfy the sober, common sense of the multitudes whose Interests are at stake. Among the great evils that afflict the country at the present time Is the abuse of corporate power. At first the advancing aggressions of tho corporations are not dis cernible to the common eye, for every move Is carefully covered up until sufficient po litical strength is attained to defy the pro test of the people.
