4 < per cers The SUPPLEMENT. THE NATIONAL CONVENTION. The Democratic Hosts Assemble and Cleveland’s Nomination Made Unanimous. The Proceedings of the Convention Given in Every Detail. VERY man, wom- an, and, one might Ralmost say, child, is interested in the proceedings of the ; National Demo- cratic Convention of this year.

Co'lins is an excellent presiding officer. Brilliant, quick and good humored, he is decision itse f and cool, brave and vastampodcable in a j ensis. Co ling hasdonea great deal of | residing during the twenty years he 1as been in pol.tics. Tne most popaar | manin his party or in any other party in Massachusetts, he has been con- stantly called to the chair of this, that or the other convent on, always leav- ing it more popular than when he took it. His seuse of humor, which is very keen, is invaluable to him on these oc- casions. When another man would be angry Collins is only amused. But he can be angry, too, when it is neces- sary. Some years ago be was presiding over & Democratic coaweition in Mas- sachusetts in which war an Irish dele- gate from his ownen’d of Bosten, the proprietor of half a damn saloons and a thick old-fashioned brogue.

But instead of withering it so exasperated the delegate that he shook his fist at the presiding officer and yelled: ‘You, Citi! a — Justabove this lineof portraitsof the yreat dead, was a row of palais and ines, the ent trees being 16 fect high | uid gradually decreasing in height from wn inverted areade, back of whieh the vind of s xty pieces was loc ted, | Back of ths space towered a re senta fonof the capitolat Washington. c statue words ¢ NEY words inscribed r sach side of the capitol steps was a one of Jefferson bearing the st Just ce to kson, With the adable from the west- svn end of the hail: “Every Monopoly is Granted at the pense of the Pub- lic.” ‘The effeet of all this was beauti- ful and impressive.

Even before the first delegation ar- rived, St. Louis in gold robes was ready to greet them. Her hospitality has alone given her world-wide reputa- tion, and there will be many in years to come who will remember with pleasure their visit to St. Louis in 1888 to the Democratic National Convention.
