Ooxtektioh Hall, St. Louis, Jane 5. Tho Democratic Sfational ConTen tioit began to gather in the early honra of the morning, although the garel.of Chairman Barnum,- of the national oommittee, will not announce its opening - until noon. As -early , as 8 o'clock the great Jaave of the hall was foil to OTerfowicg and long be fore noon ten thousand faces gazed on the high rostrum eserved'for the presiding officer of the' Con rention, aa yet empty, , but with - its gleaming white sil ver! gayel, the gift pi the Nerada delegation, foil of Curious pterest for the expectant multitude. The noble proportions of; the exposition bnilding strike one at once with ad nuratioik. It is of oblong shape, re liered upon either side by balconies reaching back 200 feet, aboye which, stretching entirely afoond the andi toriQXQrii a broaa oter-hanging gal lery, An ample stage reaches from the rear of the chairman's platform fifty feet to the east wall of the ball and aVOcommodateB 40 pf. the gath ered leaders of the National pemoc racT, who thus are enabled to over look tbe officers, delegates sn3 spec tators, The deoorations are simple but effeotive.. ; r The stage is hung with re4, white and blae banting relieved by festoons and borders of evergreens. Ppon a pedestal on the right pi the entrance of -the stage stands a bust iof the President and . suepehded upon the face of the gallery above the etage, heavily framed in gilt is, a large por trait of the Fresideht in oil. Oa e ther aide are similar portraits of Cleveland, Hancock, I Tilden, Hen dricks and Ex Got. Marmadike, of Missouri. The baloony and ; gaUery pillars and the face of the large wind ing ! galleries and the fronts of the balconies are prof oaely decorated with: American flags land long and short festoons caaght up with large red f white and . blue rosettes. Fee toons of: American;- flags and red irhite and blue banting han from the open woodwork supporting the roof and the high pillars which sup port the rafters are do, and with gar land!! and,J0pee of evergreens.! Bend ing gracefully from,; the fifths of the ooTamn which uphold th galle ry, are drooping branches: of cedar andjpine. In the background, along the hall, u a more elaborate attempt at decoration. A. heroic statue of igtbnon horseback isifxamed festoon of large American flags, are caaght in the centre: of the above the head of the" statue by American shield! - sorm6antd the American 1 feaele i with widespread pinions,'! grasping Ia ma talons . a sheai of green , wheat, The statue which has the ap-' pearance of marble is highly relieved oy a background of rich brown plush ailk-5raped curtains. The haU is amply-lighted in day timet by a long sky light in the roof, and ait night'by 450 Ueiser : and 300 Jfidisoh ucandeecent electric lamps. A very "striking effect is presented in the gallery above the Itage in full Bit?ht of 'the delegates and spectators By an eflormotw draw ing of the capitol a Washington Upon- ia background of sky-blue eanvaa. trotted plants and green shrub- Deryaro ingeniously arrange about ,ae base oi the picture so as to give the effect of a terraced park such las leada up io the caMtol at Washington from the east, the illu sion is about perfect 'aid the striking picture, sixty feet long and 28 feet from the base to the cap of the god dess, ox liberty at the summit-! of the dome, is the crowning feature of the decoration of the naiL- The dele gates' eeats are arranged entirely across the nave of the balland stretch ninety feet in front of the platform. They; are arranged with two aisles and in alphabetical order, beginning with the Alabama delegation at the extreme right front and ending with me Wisconsin delegation at the ex treme left front The large New York delegation is nearly in the cen tre and the Pennsylvania ' delegation is two-tmros or the distance fback on the left hand row of the seats. The Ohio delegation is in the extreme southwest corner, As the convention fathers, a full brass band of sixty piece stationed on the west , gallery fills the hau with martial strains and popular operatic airs, i The delegates jure straggled generally and tbtere is some confusion in seating them in accordance with the plan arranged, biit nobody ap pears to be in,a nurry. nd eiverybody is gooa-natured. as noon appro. approaches tne vast audience watches each new comer to catch a familiar face and to cheer; whenever a prominent figure is recognized. , Eaoh one in thtf hall who can read the rather dim inscriptions beneith the portraits n the face of the east gallery's railing repeats the epigrams to his next neighbor, who passes them on as soon as the curi osity ;of the entire audience is satis fied. ; Beneath Cleveland's portrait is the familiar quotation from the Presi dent s message, "It ia i condition, not - ' a w mm as.. '' a tneory. under Audens por trait u U the motto; "Jjet there be peace- and fraternity through out the land." Beneath Hendricks' "The necessity of war cannot be pleaded in the time of peace." Be neath Hancock portrait is written the following , quotation from his let ter of acceptance : "The ereat Dnn ciples of liberty are the tnheritance of the people." It is at oioe noticed by the delegates as they note the fa miliar Democratic faces and the familjar and -historical Demo crat sentiments, that there. is a conspicuous absence f One man's face in this Democratic portrait gal lery, The portrait of every Demo cratic national candidate sinoe Chd in cluding 1876 except that Of ex-Oov.

Marma duke, of Missouri. Some one comes in and passing down the stage places an immense basket of roses , on! the Stage and at the right of the chair man's desk,' as yet unoccupied, and the incident provokes a cheer. i A noticeable incident of the demon strations of approval as the hour of the opening of the convention ap proaches is : the flutter of handker chiefs and the wav.ng of fans by the ladiea who fill the double-row lodges ajrranged along the front of two gal leries, which have been given Op al most exclusively to the women, whose bright attire and pretty faces! lend attraction to the convention, i ; ! The visiting clubs with embl&z aned banners Cohae in late but as ) each well ; known organization is recog nized they are greeted 'with cheers. The , Tammany Hall braves I are among, the first to appear, followed closely by the New York county Da mocracy and local St. Louis organ izations. ' The Randall Club, with its gorgeous black and gold 1 banner and led by Squire Wm. McMullen, marahes in proudly and is generous ly applauded. The first of the great national Democratic figures to , ap pear among the-delegates is the tall form of the Senior Senator from Indi ana, Daniel V. Voorheec, and ,be iB at once recognized and c.heere'd to the echo. The Cleveland Democracy of ; Buffalo with full brass band, playing ''Dixie" marches into the gal lery and creates a sensation, the con vention bursting into applause and cheers which continue until tho Club has made a circuit of he gallery and ia seated. The Club's crimson ban ner with its cousp cuous polJ letters inscribing; the President's namef be comes at once oae of the most cpnspi cious and popular ornament ir taehall Evry member of the club wears a h'gh hit and Cleveland badga. While the Cleveland club is thus enthusing the convention, Hon. S- M Whit?, of California, who is to bo temporary chairman' of the convention, steps quickly into his seat, very few per sohsjin the hall recogn;z:.ng pirn, llri While is of strong p'lypiae, stoutly buiit and of med'um height, wi h fuil brown beard. While hp is shaking hands with the .California delegates, the Cleveland club pafade. oOm'ea to an end und the standard bearer plants the banner directly in front of the great picture of tbo capi tal ?in the east gallery, a significant incident, which brings cheers from the throng in the nave of the ball below. Chairman Barnum, of the national committee, appears 'at his mqment on the platform and is in stantly recognized amid general ap- EUase. Voices crying "Barnum" are card all! over the hall. The 'Hen dricks club of Indiana is cheering as it marches up to the east gallery and places its banner by the aide of " the Cleveland Democracy banner. Chair man Barnum looks up to see what is going on above him and . when he catches sight Of the friendty banners, nods approval. I: ! . ! Congressman Scott, bis i face wreathed in smiles, as though e'very- ning had been arranged to ma satis faction, marched in at the head of the Pennsylvania delegation and ooks up at the gathered faces of the Democracy upon the s'age iefcur- tntriy. : ' i - ' i fr. Henry Watterson, of Kentucky, enters with his coat tail pocketbulging out suspiciously like a copy of the pUtform, which it is said he is pre paring. He Btops to say a word in Mr. Scott s ear and passes quietly on to his seat : ' : ., At' noon alt of the delegations have arrived at the conven'ion hall except those; from New York and Missouri. The absence of the New York delega- uyu uiub a large gap in me cenure of the space reserved for delegates, and the ; convention waits with; min gled feelings of curiosity and' impa tience icr the appearance of the Em pire State's representatives, ilt is fifteen minutes before it comes 'into the convention, headed by ex Mayor Grace, of New York City, conspicu ous as it marches to its place with the eyes of tne '. convention fixed on it. The distinguished figure of Daniel Dougherty, who is to place Cleveland in nomination, is observed and he ia cheered. At this moment a California delegate mounts a chair and, unfurl ing a red handkerchief, places it on tup, uanner poie oi me ueieganon. This is a signal for the apbear- ance J of hundreds of tile ' '01d Raman's" standard and almost instantly the banner poles of Penn sylrania, Wisconsin, Nebraska, West Virginia, Florida, Utah, New Mexico, Ohio, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Delaware, uregon and Nevada are decorated with red. handkerchiefs, and from the gallery, balconies and nave of the hall proper, red bandannas wave all over the auditorium A cheer bursts from a thousand throats in the galleries, which is caught up by! the convention, and grows in vol- .cme until the blare of the band trum pets and the sound of the base drum are drowned m the greater volume Of the convention s full throated voice While this flare up of enthusiasm is in progress someone hoisted his high gray hat on a pole in the Indiana del egation and-the mends of Govt Gray now join in the cheering. Chairman Barnum, who has advanced to a high desk on the platform, waits . for the cheera to subside. ' . J rax coHvnrridK comes to oxdeb. At 12 35 the vast assemblage was silenced by a stroke from the gsel of Chairman Barnum and the Democrat ic convention of 1888 was formally in session. The chairman introduced Bishop J. B. GranberryJ of St;. Louis, whoj opened the proceedings with prayer. He rendered devout thanks for the many benefits which this coun try had received from thoj hands of rroviaenoe. prayed for a continu ance of those bounties and I called down the divine blessing "upon the President end all those in authority. The cha:r then stated that, acting un der the authority conferred upon him by the National Democratic Cpsimit- tee, ne would present to the conven tion the names of the persons selected by the oommittee to preside over and officer the temporary organization ; of tne convention. Aj the Secretary read the name of S. M. White, of California, as tempo rary chairman, the convention gree ted it with cheers as it also greeted the name of F. O. Prince, of Massa chusetts, as Secre'axy. The reading of the list of officers having been con cluded, the choice of the committee was ratified by the unanimous vote of the convention. Tne chairman ap pointed Messrs C. S. Bryce, of Ohio, and F. W. Dawson, of South Cara iina, as the comiuit.toe tocrnduct Mr. Wbit to the platform. Hanng taken the chair, the new presiding officer was greeted with another round of applause and cheers. Mr. White then addressed the convention. Al though Mr. White Ld requested by way of preface, that during the deliv ery of his speech, the convention should preserve siieuoe. ii ws fre quently interrupted by applause and once or twice was coru;-!iel to Stop until the app'ai hi-l .iied awy. iHe spoke with distinctness and enuUl be heard all over the hall. When no mentioned the name of Pr sidHt Cleveland the- couveut'on arcs to its feet and with waviog hata and flut'er ing handkerchiefs chewed for several seconds. The mention of tariff reform was also cheered and at the close of his j aaaress tne speaKer was generouny applauded. Curiously enough refer ences in the speech to Tilden failed to arouse any, marked enthusiasm and none of the New York delegation ap plauded the mention of that once in spiring name. At the conclusion of Mr. While's speech Gov. Greer, of New Jersey, offered a reso utioa adopting! the rules of "the preesJiug convention as the rules of the present convention, subject to the following modifications, that in voting for can didates for Presiden' and Vies Prei dent'no State shall .be allowed to change its vote until the roll call of States has been made and every State has cast its vote. The resolution was adopted, after a point Of order raised by Mr. Schewalter, of Missouri, that it was not in order until a report had been made by the committee on ere deptials, had been over -ruled by the cha r. Then Mr. ThOans.M, Patter son, of Mississippi, rose, and, craving the indulgence of the convention in behalf of tbe State of Colo-ado, pre sented to the convention ; - A. GAVEL made of Colorado silver, ricHy chased and burnished. It was, he said, a modest offering fiom a younger member of the Federal Union to that party which, has restored sil ver to that high plaue from which it had been degraded by the Gongrt83 of 1873 and which had over since re mained its constant champion. Let the announcement be made through out the civilized world, through the silver tone of the gavel, of the, first and unanimous nomination: ol the people's choice for President; Grover Cleveland. (Loud applause), f Chairman W hite. in accepting the gavel, pleasantly remarked that as far as the gavel eould do it the conven tion would have to be ruled by silver. (Applause). The chair then recognized senator Gorman, of Maryland,, who presented a resolution providing that the roll of States be called and tnat cacti State name its member of the com- mitteee on credentials, member of the committee on permanent organi zation and member of the commi.tee on resolutions, and that all resolu tions relating to the platform be .re ferred to the committee on resolu tions. The resolution was adopted and the States proceeded to make their appointments. The appointments for Norm Caro lina were as follows : Chairman, Jul ian S. Carr; secretary, Chas. N. Vance; resolutions, Rich'd Battle, of the staff of the Nxws : Asr Obsebveb; credentials, W. 0. Bo wen; organiza tion, W. C. Smith. Committeeman, M. W. Ransom. South Carolina: Chairman, F. W. Dawson; Secretary, G- S Graham; Resolutions, Jno. S. Sloan; Creden tials, C. A. Wood; organization, J. V. Coggins. Committeeman. F. W, Dawson. Virginia : Chairman! Eppa Hunton; Secretary, W. W. Scott; Resolutions, P. W, McKinney; Credentials, P. C Marshall; Organization, J. W. Rsylett; Committeeman, John S. Barbour. When the name of David Turpie, ot Indiana, was called to' represent that State upon the committee on resolu tions there was a burst of applause, which was, however, eclipsed by the cheers which greeted the selection of Henry Watterson to the same com mittee by the State; of Kentucky. Nor was A. P. Gorman forgotten by the assemblage, and the mention of his name was vigorously applauded. Mr. O'Brien, of Minnesota, said that as there was a contest in the Dakota delegation, the only contest before the convention, he would move that the Dakota delegates be excluded from any participation in the conven tion's proceedings until the report of the credentials committee is made and acted upon. This proposition was adopted without opposition. The chair then announced ! that each of the three committees just constituted ' would meet at five o'clock, the tommittee on credentials and the committee on permanent or ganization in the convention hall and the committee on resolutions in the errand parlor of the Southern Hotel KOBwell. i'lower, of New xorK, rose to offer a resolution and was re ceived with applause. His resolution was to the effect that when the con vention takes a recess today it be to meet at noon tomorrow. Mr. Abbett, of New' Jersey, offered an amendment fixing the hour at 10 o'clock. He wanted, he said, to see the Democratic ticket ! nominated te morrow and not on the third day. The amendment was accepted by Mr. Flower and the resolution as amended was agreed to. The convention then, on motion of Mr. Flower, at 2 o'clock took a receae until 10 tomorrow. N A good deal of feeling was dtvel oped in the convention this afternoon shortly before the adjournment by resolution offered by an Iowa dele crate that during the recess of tie convention the hall beOpened for the inspection of visiting clubs. An Ohio delegate moved to amend bv instruct ing the ergea&t-at-arms to invite and find seats in the cortrentic for ve?y uniformed Democratic club who comes from otfcer States. (Applause). Upon the motion of an Arkansas delegate the wboie matter was e ferred tothe najtional committee but in a discussion iwhich the resolution provoked, au Cjhio man said, 'Hhere are, I understated, uniforme-1 Demo cratic dabs hee form ten or twelve States; those oi us who are delegates are obliged to the people of .Sfc Lou is for their princely hospitality and 1 think these clubs ought to be permit ted to have a sfat in this convention during he deliberations of this body, (loud cheers) I understand that upon yesterda 4,000 tickets were distributed to members of the Cham ber of Commerte of this city. They ought to have been distributed to Democratic clubs who are here from Chicago, Cincinnati and New York, (loud cheers and good, good ) I therefore ins st jthat we O've it to these Democratic clubs to extend to them' the courtesy of this convention." Ifj was manifest that there was a large measure of eympathy with 'he proposition to invito the clubs to seats in the convention, but a Missouri del egate roee and stated tha 2,000 tickets had been issued to these uni formed visiting clubs and no such number as had "been stated had been given to the Chamber cf Commerce, that the haTl was already crowded to its full capacity and' the proposition was imprskctica j'e. Tbe matter was then referred as! stated. Notwithstanding tbe fact that the O'lio delegation received the Indiana men last evening wi h open arms but with the cold consolation that Thur man must and would receive the 4G votes of the Bupkeye State as a unit, it was everybody's fight this morning. Tho delegation went into a prolonged session during the afternoon and passed resolution after resolution" of endorsement; still there were members who would not B'ee held back fall in line. Robert a long time and it required the afloptjon of the unit rule to lead him from his opposition. No sooner had this rule been adopted than Jro Brady was on his feci He said: ' 'Gentlemen, you may adopt any rule vou like, but I came from Cincinnati to oppose tbe nomi nation of Mr. iThurman. Yoa may throw me out of this caucue, or inti mate that my priesence is not desired, and I will stayj out. But neverthe less, I will go tcj the convention and take my seat as a -delegate, and when the State is called I will vote against Mr. ThPman " ! This determination caused confu sion, and there were dire threats, but to no purpose, j Finally a resolution was adopted releasing Mr. Brady from the binding of the unit rule, and, he will act independently.. In conversation ho was more cautious but still s'rong opposition showed it self in hU remarks. "I will do my fighting in tbe convention, but when I cannot win there I will go home as .1 have done many times before, and during the campaign will work and fight just as hard for the Democrats as ever before." j John Brady is one of the staunchest adherents of the Payne-McLean faction. 6 30 p. m.

WTU1S. CGNGRESS. FfiOCEEDING-S YESTKRDAY SENATE AND HOUSE. IN THS SEWS FBOM OHEO05 AD ' HOW IT AFFECTED THX MEMBERS OTHEBS NEWS. By Telegraph to the News and Oheerrer. After a brif routine business Senate took up the diplomatic the and consular appropriation bill. Several amendments were adopted, the prin cipal oaos be'ng those transferring to t'ie grade of Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary tothe minis ter's resident in Belgium, theNe her lands, Sweden, Norway and Venezu ela without change of Balary ($7,500), and transferring to the grade of Min ister resident and Consul General, the charge d'affaires to Paraguay and Uruguay without change of salary, (!,000). An item of $25,000 was inserted for salaries and expenses of the scientific commission to investi gate the Congo basin. An amend ment offered by Mr. Call to increase tho salaries of the Ministers Resi dent and; Consuls 1 - General to Paraguay and Uruguay rom $5r 000 to $7,500 started a long debate, and was finally excluded on a point of order. Mr. Call appea'ed and tbe vote showed no quorum. So the bill went over And the Seri ate adjnu-ned. HOUSE. At 5 30 a demand for the regular order cutoff the usual "consort1' bus iness in the House. Mr. Dibble, of South Carolina, from tbe committeo on public build ing, reported back the AUentown pub'io building bill (vetoed by the President) with a recommendation that it, be passed notwithstanding the President's action. Placed on the calendar. r The House then went into commit tee of the whole on the tariff bill, de bate on the pending clause, "Wood manufactured not specially enumer ated or provided for," being limited to 30 miiiuteo. As Mr. Springer took the chair a reporter in the gal lory waxed a largo red handkerch.fcf. Instantly there vas an outburst of applause on the Democratic, side. While -"the chairman "pounded the desk Mr. Grosvenor called his attention to the red handkerchief which, he said, had been mistaken by the Democrats as a bandanna from Onio, while in faCt it was a tflegrain from Oregon, this paly aud Mr. Parker's statement that it wo aid be in better taste to use the handkrrchief for the purpose for which it was originally intended turned the laughter on the other side. Finally the thair, by a free use of the gavel and by reminding the members that the body was not a political convention, secured order. Upon tue expiration of the debate Mr. Byne'a motion to strike oi h paragraph wb ifjctwl 'and the next paragraph "sawed boards, planks deals and ail other articles of sawed tim ber" was considered. Mr. Hermann, of Oregon, presented to the (democ racy) the compliments of Oregon and a message from her people, say ing that Oregon had 'voted for protection by 3,000 majority. (Ap plause). Mr. Mbffi t moved to strike out :he pending clause. The motion was re jected. Messrs. Sowden, of Penney! ma, and Tarsney, of Michigan, vo ting with the Republicans in favor of the motion. Mr. Fuller, of Iowa, vo ting with the Democrats against it. So the cleik turned over the first page of the bill and read the next clause of the free list: Hubs for wheels, posts, last-blocks, wagon-blocks, oar blocks, heading-blocks, and all like blocks Or sticks rough-hewn or sawed which Mr. Bay ne promptly moved to strike out. Rejected by a party vote after a long debate. : "Staves of wood", in the 16th line of the bill, was next considered. After a long dis cussion Mr. Buchanan, of New Jersey, offered an amendment adding the words "In the rough, straight and "not shaved" which was : rejected. Mr. Bayne ironically remarked that the Democrats did not ap ear to gather much satisfaction from the pe- rueal of the convention bulletins and he therefore read a number of tele grams showing republican gains in Oregon to the delectation of the Re publicans. Mr. Lawler, of Illinois, replied by reading a clipping from an Oregon paper denouncing the high tariff as a humbug. An amendment to strike out the paragraph was lost and the commit tee rose. The Speaker pro tern, laid before the House a message from the Presi dent returning without his approval the bill for the erection of a public building at Bar Harbor, Maine, and for the purchase of additional ground for the building at Council Bluffs, Iowa. The announcement of the vote of the firs', named bill was received with laughter by the Republicans . Adjourned. OREOOI. HEBM.VS TWO HUNDRED MAJORITY FOB CONGRESS THX LEGISLATURE.
