Senator White, of California, Takes His Place as Permanent Chairman—A& Silver Mallet lresented to the Chairman. y 10:50 CmtcaGo, July 9.—At exa : o'clock yesterday Senator Daniel rapped for order in the convention. Rev. Francis Edward Green, an Epis- copal minister, of Cedar Rapids, la., who has the distinction of having prayed for peace and harmony at four previous democratic conventions, was introduced and delivered the invoca- tion. Senator Daniel was a commanding figure as he stood by the flag-draped desk announcing that the first business of the day would be the reports of committees. Then there came a pause, for it was stated that the committee on credentials, which always reports first, Was not ready with its recommenda- tions. Then Chairman Daniel put a y Zi - DAVID OVERMYER. motion that the convention a five minute recess and be addressed by Gov. Hogg, of Texas. ‘Then Senator Blackburn, of Kentucky; Overmyer, of Kansas; Gov. Altgeld, of Illinois, and ex-Congressman George Fred Wil- liams, of Massachusetts, addressed the convention. The dashing Blackburn, and the pale,nervous but alert govern- or of Illinois made a deep impres- sion on the convention, but it was the clean-limbed, college-bred young eon- vert to free silver from the old Bay state who carried off the honors of the day. He argued that free silver was not a sectional issue, and when he con- cluded with a plea for financial eman- cipation from the money thralldom of Lombard street, the greatest demon- stration of the day occurred. A hun- dred delegates rushed forward to wring his hand and conzratulate n, and the wild cheering of the crowds con- tinued several minutes. The committee on credentials having at last agreed on a partial report, the chairman, Mr. Atwood, of Kansas, was introduced, and presented the report, as follows: Your committee on credentials boys leave to Present the following: First—It is respectfully recommended that the national democratic convention take action to the end of granting to each of the territories and tothe District of Columbia six votes as representation in this body. ‘This conclusion Was arrived at after considerable discussion, but the great majority of your committee deem it proper toembody this recommendation in this, their partial report. Second—After a careful and nstaking comparison of the original and oMcial creden- tials with the list of delegates and alternates. as prepared by the secretary of the national executive committee, your committee begs leave to report that it finds its roster or roll of names correct. with the exception of those names appearing thereon as delegates and al- ternates from the states of Nebraska and Michigan. Relative to the contests from Nebraska, your committee begs leave to report that, after care- ful examination of the testimony presented to your committee, and after a full hearing from the respective parties and a careful considera- tion of their several arguments, your commit- tee finds and begs leave to report that the dele- gates and alternates headed by Hon. W. J Bryan, of Nebraska, are entitled to seats in this convention as delegates and alternates. In regard to the contest from the state of Michigan, your committee is not yet ready to report and asks further time for consideration of same. This announcement vas greeted with a storm of cheers. T. J. Mahoney, one of the gold delegates from Ne- braska, made a brief speech of protest. He and his colleagues, he said, well ATOR WLAURIN. understood that they were now to be thrown out, and at the head of the delegation they marched out. The report of the committee was adopted by a viva voce vote. While the strains of “Just ‘Tell Them That You Saw Me” were float- ing over the convention, the Nebraska silver delegation came marching in bearing on their shoulder their cham- pion, William J. Bryan. A big banner accompanied the delegation. The huge purple banner of the William J. Bryan elub was carried to the platform and Planted in full view of the audience. After ten minutes the chairman an- nounced that Gov. Altgeld moved that the convention take a recess until five o'clock, and at 1:37 o'clock the conven- tion adjourned until five o'clock. THE AFTERNOON SESSION. Cuicaeo, July 9.—At five o'clock the convention band filled a half hour with operatic airs and at 3:30 o'clock, the committee on resolutions filed into the enclosure. Ten minutes later Chairman Daniel called the convention to order, and announced that the com- to res rea s from unit rule, s considerable applaus silver men on the floor. _ Ex-Congress: man John C. Crosby, of Massachusetts, on behalf of the minority of the com- mittee, took the stage and earnestly ou protested against the decision of the} majority. He spoke, he said, in be- half of 18 states. When he had com- pleted a brief review of the merits of | the case, John H. Brennan, a Wiscon- e, followed with an- rov. McLaurin, of Mis- sissippi, and others came to the defense of the committee. Then Eliot G. Stev- enson stepped to the front and deti- antly told the convention it had no right to turn out delegates elected by a sovereign state; that by so doing it sin gold dele, other protest. would establish a precedent that would | return to damn it. Many others also spoke and the whole affair gave evi- dence of intense feeling. Final Chairman Daniel put the question, first, on the adoption of the minority report to confirm the sitting delegates in their title to the seats. The roll was called and the vote announced: Nays, 558; ayes, 368; not voting, absent, 1. Its announcement set the convention afire with another tremendous flame. The silver men had their turn in ear- nest. The scene showed plainly the complexion of the a vly, for this time the delegates were the shouters and the galleries remained silent, ex- cept in scattering patches. Senator Daniel made efforts with his voice and gavel to be heard, but they were utter- ly ineffectual. When order was restored the major- report which changed the Mich- n delegation from gold to silver was adopted without division. The report of the committee on per- manent organization was called for, and Delegate Finley, of Ohio, its chair- man, made his way to the stage and read the list of permanent officers se- lected, which was headed by Senator White, of California, for chairma Thomas J. Cogan, of Ohio, for secre- tary. Mr. MeKnight, one of the silver del- egates from Michigan, protested against the national committeeman, Mr. Stevenson, who had been selected by the delegation while it was still gold in complexion, and asked that all selections made by the delegation be withdrawn. Nebraska also protested against the selections of the unseated delegation. The selections of the new Nebraska delegation were substituted and the Michigan selections were with- drawn. Mr. Stevenson, on the latter motion, attempted to secure a roll call, but could find no delegate to second his demand. Mr. Finley Senator Vest, of Missouri, and Judge MeCon- nell, of Illinois, were appointed a com- mittee to escort Senator White to the platform. The appearance of the distinguished committee on platform with their charge was the signal for a most cordial reception. ‘Temporary Chair- man Daniel, in yielding the gavel to the California senator, made a most graceful speech, thanking the conven- tion for its courtesy. Senator Stephen M. White, of Cali- fornia, on assuming the gavel as per- manent chairman of the national dem- ocratic convention spoke as follows: Gentlemen of the Convention: I will detain you with no extended speech. [Cheering.] I see Lam vetting popular alre Laughter. j The democratic party is here represented by delegates who have come from the Atlantic and Pacific shores. Every state has its full quota: every state, as far as Ican bring about such a result, shall have fu ual, absolute and impartial treatment from this stand. Every s) is entitled to such treatment. Every question should be considered carefully and deliberately, and when the voice of this convention is crystallized into a judgment, it should be binding upon ali true democratic members of this conventio: We differ, perhaps. to-day, upon certain vital and we might express some feelings of bitterness in these discussions, but we submit tothe voice and the candid judgment of our brethren, and upon that judgment we will cer- nly rely. Time passes as we stand here. It aves many with unsatisfied ambition. It leaves numerous aspirations and hopes unreal ized. Men now prominent will pass away, some to oblivion, while they live, and others because they have been summoned to other shore: but the democratic party will not die, even when we all have ceased to live.

The motion for ad- journment until ten o'clock this morn- ing was made at 9:30 and the specta- tors poured out. ‘ ——— SOUTH DAKOTA REPUBLICANS.

An Increase of $40,000,000 Over the Record of 1895 Washington, D.C., July 8.—An- other big increase in the exports of American manufacturers during May makes the record for the fiscal year 1896 the bauner year in the history of American manufacturing exports. The month of May showed manufee- turing exports to the amount of $22,160,999, and the 11 months end ing with Mey shows such exports to the amount of $206,591,691. This is an increase of nearly $40,000,00¢ over the same 11 months of 1895, and already carries the figures from the fiscal year $23 500,000 higher than an earlier year withow allowing a dollar for the exports of June barely holds its own the manufactur ing exports of 1896 will be $224,- 000,000, or $40,000,000 higher than in any preceding year. The percent- age to total exports wiil be more than 25 per cent, which is 2 per cent more than in 1895 and double the percentage of manufacturing exports in 1880 The figures for the 11 months just closed show that the increase of $40,000,000 over 1895 is ma. le up to the extent of only $14,000,000 of an increase in mineral oils. The other items which show an increase are such as are made with peculiar skill and at low cost by American labor and machinery. Great Britain alone shows an increase from $2,150,786 ie her imports of machinery from the United States in 1895 to s 3,199,- 265 in 1896. The total exports of manufacturers of iron and steel in- creased from $29,076,658 in 1895 to $37,337,678 in 1896; carriages, cars, and other vebicies from $2,221,307 to $2,654,731: copper ingots and bars from $12,497,815 to $16,373,- cotton goods from $9,578,896 to $11,175,048; electrical and scientific apparatus from $1,718,897 to $2,. 818,788; builders’ hardware $4,079,336 to $5,046,296; and its manufactures from $1,95 943 to $2,466,391.
