Tuesday, at Chicago, tlio first stago to murk the issue between the silverites and goldites, which show tho relative strength of the two opposiug forces, occurred. It was over the selection of a temporary Chairman, of which there were two candidates?Senator Hill, of New York, regularly named by the National Committee, and Senator Daniel, of Virginia. At "> o'clock the convention doorH were opened and tho rush for admission begau. The most striking feature of the decorations on entering tho hall is a collection of pictures of seven 1> e m ocratic Presidents?JefTerson, Jackson, Vau Huron, l'olk, Tyler, Huchanan and Cleveland. Tho business begau by Ilarritv naming Hill for temporary chairman. Clayton, of Alabama, moved that Daniel's name be substituted for Hill. Waller suggested that Hill be mado temporary and Daniel permanent chairman. Tho roll call of States wnH demanded on Clayton's motion, and it drew forth an animated debate. Wal ' ler \vn> very fiery.

Duncan, of Texas, followed in the advocacy of Daniel. Lndd, of illinois, advocating Daniel, i said that if Hill made a speech it would keep the party explaining until the election. The roll of States was called on the motion that the name of Daniel he substituted for that of Hill. The motion was carried.

After a night session of nearly throe hours the gold men, under the leader ship of Mr. Whitney, adopted the following resolution : "That a cotnmitt f one or morn ho nppointed front ea--h St it" t> .infer with the people and rep.irt tic temper uie-Tnitur an organization -pf ill ? sound iseuiey 1 icnioeriiey an how far sgeh an organization should go into independent a.-tmu lor the election next November." The delegates freely expressed the opinion that the probable outcome of the new movement would he the nomination of a gold man for the Presidency by the souud money Democrats. The committee on permanent organization met alter the adjournment of the convention. E. B. l'iuley, of Ohio, was elected chairman; .1. P. Brown, of Georgia, secretary, and Dr. W. E. Webb, of Missouri, sergant-ntlirins Alter the ori'itnivntion it was decided tlilit ii recess until evening he taken. When the committee reassembled .it s o'clock thosluic, which it wan understood had hcen prepared, was all ready and was a surprise. Instead of the voterau I sham (i. Harris, of Tennessee, who had been conceded to be the probable choice, Senator Stephen M. White, of California, was substituted. The only reason mentioned informally for the change was that members thought it undesirable to have both the presiding otlicers from Southern F tates. Senator White was chosen by a vote of dd to '? for Senator Hill, and a committee appointed to notify him. SECOND DAY. The gold men openly threatened to bolt, while their opponents practically iuv'ted them to do so, with the indig uant statement that they would support McKinley anyway. The silverites did considerable work on tho platform, declaring for free sil ver at the ratio of l?> to 1; denouncing the issuing by tho government of bonds in times of peace, and allowing private individuals to reap the beuetit therefrom; demanding that the power to issue notes be taken from the national banks; declaring for a taritV for revpniiM on! v : mulcim* o 1I01O0 rut\i\t\ thnt the revival of tin- McKinlev bill would bo a menace to the country; demanding the enactment of a constitutional amendment to permit the income tax; expressing sympathy for tho belligerents in Cuba; demanding that tho immigration of pauper labor be restricted; favoring liberal pensions to soldiers; opposing a third term of tho President, and denouncing the extravagauco ot the last Republican Congress. The committee on credentials, after its night session, acted on all contests before it, except one Indiana district. Its last action before adjourning was to seat the silver contestants from South Dakota. Adjournment was taken pending a motion to reconsider. The committee voted unanimously to seat tin Bryan contestants from Nebraska and the silver contestants from Michigan also. The silver men had a two-thirdmajority by the adoption of a credential committee report. White, of Cslifor uia, presided. The preamble and resolutions incorporate the declaration of Andrew ducks,m that "Congresaloiie 1ms tho | ower to coin money, and that this power cannot be delerat i t<. a corporation. 1 or that lea son, nil th-' National Hunk issueshould be a1 rognted, the money in-- ?.i>n tt i d ; >r :.s no change in Nominee for President. tho tar ill" except such as is necessary to meet the deficit in the reveuue caused by tho adverse decision of the Supreme Court on the income tax; declare it the duty of Congress to use all tho constitutional power which remains after that decision or which may come from its reversal by the court as it may hereafter bo constituted, so that tho burden of taxation may ho equally and impartially laid to ho end that we may all bear our proportion of the expense of the government. r eucrai luterierence iu local affairs is a violation of the constitution and a crime against free institutions, and wo specially object to government by injunction as a new and highly dangerous form of oppression by which Federal judges in contempt of tlio law of States and rights of citizens become at once legislators, judges and executioners; and we approve the bill passed at the last session of the seuato and now pending in the house relative to contempts of the Federal courts and providing for trial by jury in certaiu contempt cases." When Daniel took the chair ho announced no business except by unani-' uious consent. Rev. Dr. T. E. Green, of Cedar llapids, Iowa, offered prayer. There was a great demonstration when I the Bland Club, with banners flowing, entered tho hall. I The New York delegates held a | caucus, lighting over tho question ! \\ lather they should bolt tho convention after the adoption of tho silver plank | or not. The proceedings of tho convention were listless. Hogg, of Texas, who made a strong plea for harmony was well received. Tho gold men are inclined to take their medicine * more peacefully. Hogg advised ftho delegates to meet in a spirit with intent to win iu November. Tillman, of South Carolina, asked permission to address tho convention. Twelve thousand people, listened to the speech by Governor Altgeld. Under tho unit rule North Carolina voted solid for Bland, on first ballot. Bryan, Boies and Teller have supporters on the delegation. Bland is in the lend before the convention. The New York delegation announced that they would not bolt, but that they would not vote on a candidate. The report of the committee on permanent organization was presented by Mr. Finley, of Ohio, naming Senator White, of California, as permanent president of the convention and Thos. F. Hogun, of Ohio, as permanent sec1 retary. 1 A committee of three was appointed I to escort Senator White, the permai uent chairman to tho chair, tho com] mittee consisting of Mr. Finley, of J Ohio; Mr. McConnell, of Illinois, and I Senator Vest, of Missouri. Senator Daniel in retiring from tho | temporary chairmanship expressed bis deep seuse of the honor which he had enjoyed and introduced Mr. White as "the distinguished Senator from California."

[Loud applause. ) Mr. Clark, of Montana, rising ic tho body of the hall, produced a silvei gavel front tho ntiucs of Montana, which ho tendered the presiding oflicet iu tho name of the delegation from that State. The chairman remarked that in the absence of objection he would feel compelled to accept this handsome token front the Montana delegation. No objection being beard, tho silver gavel was passed up to tho chairman. When tho report of the committee on resolutions was made to tho convention a minority report was also presented endorsing the tiunncial policy of the Cleveland administration. To that Senator Tillman, of South Carolina, offered an amendment, and address the convention upon it for flftv minutes. Senator Tillman's amendment is in these words: "We denounce the administration of President. Cleveland as uu-Democrutic and tyranical, and and as a departure from those principles which are cherished by all liberty loving Americans. The veto power has been used to thwart the will of the people as expressed by their representatives in Congress. The appointive power has been used to subsidize the press. to debauch congress and to overawe and control citizens In the free exercise of their oonstitutional rights as voters. A i lutocratie despotism is thus sought to be established on the ruins of the republic. We repudiate the construction placed onthefluauoiul plank of the last Democratic national plntform by President Cleveland and Secretary Carlisle as contrary to the plain meaning of English words, and us being an net of bud faith do serving the severest censure. The issue of bonds in time < f pence with which to buy gold to redeem coin obligations payable in silvor or gold at the option of the government, and tho use of the proceeds to defray the ordinary expenses of tho government are both unlawful and usurpations of author, ity deserving of impeachment " THE CONVENTIONS THIRD DAY. The day opened with the situation about this: Tho gold men were in a helpless minority, with no ehanco of preventing the adoption of a radical free silver plank, Boies was in the lead slightly. Tho committee on resolutions adopted Bailey's National Bank substitute, which denounces the issuance of National Bank notes as in derogation ol tho constitution. It demands that all paper bo made legal tender for public and privato debts, or receivable ic payment of dues of the United Statef and shall be issued by the Unitee States. Congress alone has power ti coin or issue money, and that powei can't bo delegated to corporations 01 individuals. Walsh of Georgia made a religions substitute, which denounces all secret organizations which makes war on in dividuals for their religious opinion: and granting civil and religious liber ty to all citizens. Hill olTered a resolution indorsing Cleveland's administration plan! which was rejected Wednesday by tin platform committee. While it wa: conceded that he would again be de feated, tho resolution gave him ur opportunity to eulogize the flnaucia part of the President's administration, Tillman was advised of this alleged purpose of the New York Senator, am he devoted fifty minutes to one of hit characteristic attacks on the adminis tration. Grady, of New York, said that th< Now Y"ork delegates had practically agreed among themselves to express n< decided opinions as a body upon tin deliberations of the convention.

Tillman wus particularly aggressive. Bryan hail a groat ovation. A motion was made to lay on the table both tho motion for and against the administration. Ho said to tho minority: You have already disturbed our business.

There was great cheering and demonstrations at tho close of Bryan's speech, and cries of "nominate him!" Tho baud struck up but couldn't be heard, it simply could be seen going through tho motion of playiug. The vote on tho platform was ordered after the Bryan demonstration subsided. The vote was on the adoption of the amendment offered by Hill to substitute tho minority report for that of the majori.y, so far as the financial plank goes. Hill's motion was voted down, noes G'20; ayes 30d. Hill's motion endorsing tho present Democratic administration was next called. It was seen from the outset that this motion was lost. The administration was not endorsed, the voto being odl against it, to Gt'>7 for it. It was hissed. K\ F.NINO MISSION.

A great demonstratior followed; all tho silver delegates arost and joined in vociferous shouting and waving of hats, handkerchief, uewspa pers and every wovablo object upon which they could lay their hands.
