ndravored to refer the fight to tho cre
dentials committee. 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

It Is certainly appropriate that such a
convention should meet ':r this great west
ern city, whose cltisens have shown their
generous hoMpltullty on every hand, and
whose enterprise and energy 1 attested
by the erection of this magnificent audi

a large silk banner, bore it into the hall
snr! were promptly ordered by the ser-peant-at-arms
to bear It out again. 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.

"I tm directed by the national commit

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.

"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. The delegates were prone to applaud from
the utterance of Mr. Bell's flrBt sentence.

prosperity." I Ms sartaetlc alius ons to the
rlalms of excellent nianag' merit of the
country mad by th( republicans also
e;icltd the aprrovnl of the ric'rg.ius.
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.

Omaha, Neb., to present the resolutions

on this orraslon I should be derelict to
my duty, anil recreant to Impulses of my
heart. 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. AtDlaUse).
He w always able to eteer the ship of
state safely between the rocks of the com
munism of wealth and socialism or an
archy. 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. In Irlnceton,
N. J. this expression of our sorrow and our
pride.

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

ing. "And therefore, I beg leave to second

New York delegation. .
The question of adopting the Nebraska
resolution was put and concurred In by s
rising vote.

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

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

The chairman, however, refused to enter
tain the amendment and declared the mo

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

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. Thus the constant and
Insidious Invasion of the people's rights
finally results In a species of arrogance and
defiance so formidable In it appearance
