June 'JC The demociattc national convention was slow for assembling for the second day's buslnoss. Hecauso of tho fact that the committees did not get down to business until today It wos certain that there would bo business ready for the hour set tor assembling. For this reason spectators and delegates preferred remaining about the hotels to sitting lu the big con vention bail with a blazing sun beat ing down on tho roof. Kvea the band seemed to suffer from the leth argy s It was eleven thirty before It started its initial tune. At that hour only. a score of delegates were lu their scats and but a scattering of spectators in tho upper galleries. It was almost certain that no busi ness would be transacted nt all un til tonight. Chairman Hell of the committee on credentials sent word to Judge Parker that his commlttoe could not possibly got through before night. Parker Bent a messenger to get Murphy, Taggart or some other mem ber of tho steering committee on the telephone and ask Instructions. It was certain that a recess would be ordered. Until tho credentials com mittee reports the tomporary roll no business can be transacted by tho convention. Thoro wiib a suggestion that the convention meet and listen to speeches by prominent democrats but many democrats objected to this, fearing that au attempt might be made to start a stampede. Many of the leaders wore greatly concerned over tho success of llryan lu lining up tho committee on reso lutions to repmt tho platform after and not before the nominations. This revolutionary doctrine was designed It was freely admitted, to mako tho candidate run on tho platform rather than to havo the platform used to boom any particular candidacy.

It was, generally accepted that the platform committee would not bo able to report to the convention before tomorrow al though a determined effort was hcit) made by the majority to havo the report made today o that tho way would be' clear for nominations to morrow. President Gompers and Frank Mor rison, of tlio American Federation of Labor, presented the labor planks to (ho committee and urged action on them. They soemed more hopeful that their claims would receive favor able action than tliev were nt Chi cago. Members of the committee admitted Hint the big fight was to bo money, trust, and tariff planks. ISrynn, it was admitted would take an advanced stand on the.se subjects and if Ids' wishes were not carried out, would make a fight on tho floor which might jar the conservative eon tori from its foundations. llryan, it in known, favors the pro position of making pergonal guilt paramount in the trust doelaratbn and pledging the party to legislation that will make tlio punishment for persons who engage in criminal com iiinntiniic in restraint of trade, prison sentences iu place of fines and mak ing jail sentences absolutely manda tory.

Eighty city police had been impressed to aid the incompetent convention of ficials and there was far loss disor der in the hall while all tho aisles were comparatively clear. The opening invocation was deliv ered by the HI. Rev. John Gardiner Murray of Baltimore. In his prayer he asked that the party be strength ened to aid the nation, "which is now passing through the most momentous crisis in its history." Ex-Govenior Blanchard of Louis iana, for the committee on resolutions asked that the business session he adjourned until 8 o'clock tonight. "I don't expect you to recess now," ho said. "I know that thPs assemblage wants a flow of oratory, nnd the ora tors arc here But no business can bo tratnactcd. nud I move that, when it recess is taken, it bo until 8 o'clock tonight."
