Baltimore Sun. : Today, for the first tinio in our hie4 tory, a treaty was taken up for con-; sileration in open session by the Seu- ate of the United States. TLe piss j age of the resolution to consider the; fisheries treaty in open session puiuts a moral. Theru inny be progres- sire legislation conferring benefit on the people where the motive is nar row and the aim to do a President or party some harm rather than confer a good upon the nation. It is admit ted that, the resolution passed yester day, and which resulted in to-day's open dinoussion, was voted for not in a public but party spirit; that it; wad the expression of .an experimental hope that- a . debate might somehow develop campaign material. As an excitant of curiosity the open session was a comparative failure, as the galleries were far from crowded. The Hawaiian minister, accompanied by bis wife, occupied the d ploniatic gallery. The absence of other foreign representatives was significant of their indifference to the subject or kr&r6uUt im -' iuenuuvi p.wniug a; in ternational question : into a campaign issue. Senator Frye,who had been recognized, refused to yield the floor to Senator Morgan for the purpose of submitting a motion to postpone me i consideration of the treaty until De cember next. Whether heated weather ; or politics inspired the resolution to defer to a cooler and calmer season did not appear, but Mr. Morgan gave notice that he would renew his mo tion when the Maine Senator con cluded his speech. Mr. Frye began with an attentive audience on : the floor and in- the press gallery. He is a peripatetic orator, and walked to and fro in the middle aisle like a caged lion and gesticulated with closed fist in the faces of the Demo cratic Senators as he made a vigor ous and violent attack upon the treaty and all concerned in its negotiation. Mr. i Frte's macmlficont voice and nhvsiaue were exhausted by the en ergy of his effort and the in ense heat of the Senate chamber, so mat, at nis request, a recess of half an bQr was taken. As , foreshadowed in the A'un some weeks ago, the key note Of the vote for open session! was struck by Mr, Frye, for the very beeinnmc of his speech was- an ar raignment of the administration. Eai- phasizihfrhis assertion that the Ques tion was not local, but national, be became verv dramatic in charging those who negotiated the treaty and those who supported it with being parties to the deliberate degradation of this country and its flag. Senator Pavne's conversational interruptions, some directed to the correction of the broad statements of the Maine Sena tor, Were finally checked by a very positive and rugged refusal to be in rni i . .f it , . terrupted. ine nceuy 01 me opuu session soon palled upon the taste Of. the average American, and then fol lowed considerations of possible results not contemplated at : first blush. Several Democratic Senators told a representative of the $un that their fear was that an open discus sion would be used and abuessi to endeavor to excite angry internation al feelings, but that if the treaty is considered by the people in their own common-sense way, their judg ment undisturbed by exciting and misleading harrangues, they will ap prove of its every provision.; Mr. Frye's speech seems to have both this deprecated intent and tendency. Yet, notwiihstanding the fact that the debate was opened by the side holding the negative, and that Mr. Frye'u well-studied oration will go to the people througn the ever open and industrious channels of 'Republi can distribution, it is thought tbit postponement to December will l the only Democratic answer to the Maine Senator' milauiuiatory bar rangue. j s H"- OH! A. GILMEB, Of OUILIOllD BBOCOHT INTO THE iKAGK Yesterday morning, an ihour before tbe time of meeting ofl the State Democratic Convention, itj looked like Capt. Bunn a words that the conven tion would prove the grea'est one ever aisaemDiea in the Uoaimonwcalth would prove prophetic. Delegates and other prominent Democrats poured into! Strouach's warehouse where the convention was to be held till its spacious interior was crowded to overflowing and still they came and filled the aisles ben the time for calling the con vention to order arrived there were over two thousand Democrats in the building. The convention was pro nouueed the largest ever assci bled in this city. There waf ah air of bus iness round about which plainly told that the convention had come to put m good work. p At five minuUa past the stroke of 12 o clock Clia;rman R. 0. Battle, of the State Democratic Executive Com miitee, rapped the tabljs wit'i the gavel and call6d t' e convention to order. The call for the convention was read and Chairman Battle pro ceeded to state that he did net think it amiss to say a few words of en couragement to the party jbefore him assembled. Mr. Bat le spoke of the convention of four vetu-s piacea in tne nei' a man virtue, integrity ami ii'gh nood wno nad for four occupied with sueh honor the gubernatorial chair. Chairman Battle al ujl?d to the administration of G rover Cleveland at the mention ;of whose nam a the go which of honor, born man- jyears since to his State efficiency aid ecouomy that hav, ever characterized- Democratic control. H puko biieflyof national affair?, of th man of destiny, who, thousrh un known, possessed qualities which thn country recognized and which made him tbe great leader of the Democ racy, recpected everywhere, who is soon to win another great victory. Tbe Republican party at the North, he said, is distracted as to what it wants or has to offer the per.plo. It stand upon excessive taxation while the Democracy holds that excessive taxa tion is unjult -station and stands upon that. The Democracy has seen party after rise and fall.. Radicalism had its opportunity. ,With .all the Federal departments under its con trol, with the prestige of long con tinued success, it accomplished noth ing for the bensfit of the people. He referred to the Brotherhood of Lo comotive Engineers and bow it as sembles at the sound of s bell for the sake of meltng charity. So the Dem ocracy Bhould be ready always to rally for service, earnest and efficient in be half of the peop'e's every internet. , At the conclusion of Gen. Cox'sjre i .I ... maras me .committee on credentials were announced ready to repoit. It was reported that every county in the State was " thoroughly, ably and handsomely represented," and there was but one contest bat of a dele gate from Carteret.

Shuford A re-8olu'ion was introduced and carried that delegates, iu voting fran lions, use decimal fraohons instead of vulgar fractions convention broke out into furious applause. During Mr. Battle's speech martial strains of music were heard from the band approaching in the distance which was continued till the band had arrived and halted in front of the hall, when it j discoursed sweet strains for a few : minutes. Chairman Battle concluded his re marks by stating that injaecordance with the prerogative of his office he ...m - r. f-- : Ler Morehead, of Rockingham, whom he alluded to as the son of anil ustri ous father, who was a prominent man ufactiirer and a good Democrat. Col. Morehead came forward and addressed the convention in a short, ringing and enthusiastic speech. He prophesied the success oi tne uemo- cratic party in the coming; oauipvgn and said that tne Itepuuiitan part in its desperation had gone ljack to the days of tne 'past to unrop tne aar panorama of sectional strife. After Col. iuoreuead naa laxeu nis seat the roll of counties was called and it was ascertained that every county in the State was represented. This was an occurrence never known before in a North Carolina! State Dem ocratic convention. The committee on permanent or ganization was then appointed as fol lows: ! First district, S. B.

He was glad to see the whols State of North Carolina assembled in this convention.

Ilis Speech was a capital one. Jtt W. Winston, fcisq., oi uranvuie. spoke, endorsing Alexander, in terms of genuine eloquenca. f Hon. F. N.
