Organisation Lieutenant Governor White
Temporary Chairman.!
St. Louis. June 5. Tho National Demo
cratic convention was called to order twenty
minutes before 1 o'clock to-day Just forty
minutes after the time appointed. Tho city
had been illling up for several days and the
streets were tilled with marching bands of
delegates and the air was resonant with tho
stirring music ol brass bands.
The members ol the national committee
were on hand In
full force before the
majority of the dcl
egatea arrived.
Chairman Barnum,
grim and gray,' and
incessantly chow-
lng tobacco, was at
the presiding otll-
cer'sdesk, on a btgli
platform, opening I
telegrams nnd let-N
ters and giving
directions to a huat
ot messengers who
wero continually
coming to him for'
orders. It n as J tut

tho kind of work that he tins boen doing for a
quarter of a century, and ho was cool, delib
erate ami uiu-uilltjd.
Tho man who has never been to a national
convention cannot easily conceive what it is.
Fancy a hall ot tho construction ol Alaul-
son Square garden, New York, but long and
narrow, kiiuixxi precisely like Trinity church.
The Hi ur, almost an acre in extent, is cov- I
ered with kitchen chairs thousands of them
iu reglineutatllues, like the orderly output of
a luinlturo factory, Tho two galleries, ono
alxn e the otho:', around the walls of the jwr
ulleloiMiu, uru so covea-ed with red, wbito 1
nnd blue that they look na though they were 1
piatrorms iiuiue of llagu ami upheld uy pil
lars, half of bunting and half of evergreen.
Thus n commonplace hall, cheap and ordi
nary, except for IU vast bize, was trans
formed into a brilliant patao of flags.
ruclug all the delegates, under the picture
of tho Capitol, was the platform for the ofll
cers, with a little walnut pulpit at its front,
and lieslde It a stand of flowers and a bust of
Grovor Cleveland.
Finally tho mallet ot Chairman Barnum
fell, the vast crowd wai hushed and Bishop
Granberry, of Mtoitrl, of the Methodist
Churc h Bouth, madu n brief prayer, tho dele
gates standing while the good man offered his
invocation.
Then Secretary F. O. Prince, ot Mossaobn-
setts, read the list of ofllcers, as follows:
Stephen II. White, of California, for chair
man; temporary secretary, Frouorlck u.
Prince, of uassachuscttb; assistant secre

seized an old fashioned Masonlo gavel and
pounded for order.
He spread a printed copy of his speech
upon tho dek and began to address the con
vention 111 faint and measured terms. Cries
of "louder" were heard. The general ele
vated his voice, and as he warmed up in his
delivery bis ornate and classical sentences
were uttered in tones so clear' and silvery
that all could hear them.
Mr. Collins thauked tho convention for the)
honor done him, ana asked for their co-operation
in promoting ordor and good wllL He
called attention to the fact that It was the
first time for many years that the Demo
cratic party bad held a convention with Its
representative ill the White House, speaking
of the victory as greatly, desrvedand neces-
sary. Ha reminded the delegates of tho
Importance of the approaohing contest,
and aald they were confronted by a wily and
unscrupulous foe. He then eulogized Presi
dent Cleveland, saying that his administra
tion had triumphantly justified bis election.
It compoliod the admiration and rospect of
tba whole country. "What the people see,"
be said, "is the government of the Union re-.,
stored to its ancient footing of justice." Ho
concluded as follows:
"Fellow Democrats, this is but the In-
ltial meeting in a political campaign destined
to bo memorable. It will bo a clashing of
neaTl1 even forces. Let no man hero or elso-
whore belittle or underestimate the ttrongth
or resources of the opposition. But, great as
they are, the old Democratic party, In con
scious strength and perfect union, faces the ls
u t fearlessly,"
When he closod the convention got down to
business. Tba usual raft of resolutions came
to the front, A delegate from Missouri sent
a long free trade resolution to the desk. It
was referred to the committeo on resolutions.

was granted, but was limited to ten minutes,
Mrs. K. A, Merrlweatber, ot BL Louis, went
to the front of the platform. Bhe is a pleasant '

her 10,000 hearers without flinching. She
spoke in a voice that could not bo' beard ten
feet away. The delegates received bar with
the utmost good nature. When her ten min
utes were up sue pleaded so eloquently for a
little mora timo that tbo chairman granted
her two minutes more. At the end of her
speech she smiled sweetly and gracefully
retired.
After ber disappearance an effort was made
to get the convention to adjourn, but It sig

moved that the nominations for the presi

There was much excitement whon tba sec
retary began to call the roll.

Alabama tendered her right to make a

The exoltement reached a high pitch when
