(By Associated Press.)
DENVER, Colo., July 7. The
National Democratic Convention wns
opened here at noon today. Chair
man Tom Taggart of the National
Democratic Central Committee, call
ed the convention to order and in
troduced Theodore P. Bell of Cali
fornia as the temporary chairman.
As Chairman Taggart hscended tho
rostrum shortly before noon, the
band began playing "Dixie" amid
great cheering. While Taggart was
striving to bring tho convention to
order, a party bearing banners with
Bryan's picture, came in and caused
loud cheering.
A strong cordon of police stretched
about the auditorium and sidewalks
and roped off isles to handle the
throngs that gathered in the halls.
On the two streets fronting tho audi
torium, great banks of snow gave a
cooling greeting to the visitors. They
had been brought by special trains
from tho mountains. Tho day was
by no means hot however and the ef
fect was the novelty of an icy street
scene in July.
After all tho delegations had been
seated eSJPt the Nebraska delega
tion, that made a state spectacular
entrance by marching in a solid col
umn down tho center aisle holding
high a largo banner in-red, white and
blue silk on which was painted a
portrait of Bryan. Above the picture
of Bryan was that of the Bryan
volunteers, and beneath it of Neb
raska. Great enthusiasm greeted tho
Nebraskans. California followed
with a splendid banner that bore tho
likeness of Bryan, the delegates car
rying palm-leaf fans and small
American flags. Promptly at 12
o'clock, Chairman Taggart brought
down the gavel that called the con
vention to order. After some time,
Taggart, in his brief address, said
the convention was the greatest poli
tical gathering that had over assem
bled In the United States. Ho paid
an eloquent tribute to Denver also.
Following Mr. Taggart's remarks,
"the secretary read the official call and
Bishop John W. Keane of Wyoming,
was introduced and delivered a
prayer, the spectators rising.
Nominuto Tomorrow.
Today's session of the convention
will be given up to preliminary work
,and the nominations will not begin
until tomorrow.
Bryan's" f rfends cialm that he will
bef nominated on the first ballot but
his opponents still maintain that an
other man may head the ticket.
y There is no lineup on the vlco
presidency yet.
Boll's Speech.
Theodore P. Bell, the temporary
chairman of the convention, arrived
this morning on a special train over
.tho Rock Island after a strenuous
trip to overcome the obstacles caused
by tho flood at Lincoln whither he
had Journeyed to consult W. J.
Bryan. For a time, it was feared he
would not reach here. Mr. Bell was
enthusiastically Applauded when In
troduced by Chairman Taggart.
Tempora'ry Chairman Bell said in
party: "The Democratic party is not an
enemy of all corporations, our party
is not opposed to production on a
largo scale, but it is unalterably op
posed to monopoly in production. It
would rather preyont monopoly than
control it after it is established. The
withdrawal of special privileges will
take away the meat upon which
trusts are fed. If this be followed
by criminal prosecution and the im
prisonment of directors and officers
of the guilty corporation, monopoly
will bo shorn of many of its terrors.
"An olection is n public affair and
the people have tho right to know
before casting their votes whether
the campaign is being financed by
trusts and monopolies and Just ex
actly what influences are being exert
ed to gain control, for it Is not be
proved that largo appropriations for
election purposes are being made
from treasurers of corporations with
out the expressed or Implied promise
that the contributors Bhall receive
special benefits In consideration for
their subscriptions. Upon no other
subject has tho Republican party
shown such utter contempt for the
wishes of the people and Its refusal
to use the cash register in its poli
tical affairs clearly exhibits crooked
ness and dishonesty that will not
bear tho light of day.
"Tariff rates must always be estab
lished with special reference to the
expenditures of the government and
by keeping in view the greatest good
to the greatest number and parti
cularly prohibiting tho conversion of
the tariff into an accomplice of mono
poly in the robbery of American con
sumers. The Democratic Idea is that
of collecting sufficient revenue to
meet the necessities of the govern
ment. There must be a basis for tariff
regulations and the philosophy of
excluding competition by a tax on
tho American consumer which re
quires him to pay greater prices at
homo than are demanded abroad is
a pernicious abuse of the taxing
power and manifest injustice to our
own people.
"On the bosom of the Pacific will
be enacted the mighty commercial
struggles of the future and the Inter
ests of American commerce will de
mand that an adequate naval
strength be maintained in the waters
of the Pacific to protect our expand
ing interests there.
Was Warmly Applauded.
There were at least 12,000 people
In the convention hall when Mr. Bell
closed his address and there was a
tremendous outburst of applause as
he stepped back from the platform.
Chairman Dunn of the Nebraska
delegation offered the Bryan resolu
tion on Grover Cleveland's services.
Governor Francis of Missouri, urged
tho adoption of the resolutions, but
there were calls for Parker and his
resolutions. The latter were read
but after some discussion, Parker
seconded the motion to adopt the
Dunn resolutions by a rising vote
which was done.
At the conclusion of the appoint
ment of the various committees, the
convention adjourned until tomorrow
noon.
Decide Contests.
The national committee sitting as
a whole today approved the findings
of the subcommittees In the contests
from Idaho and Pennsylvania. This
resulted in the seating of the Dubois
and Helfeld faction from Idahq and
antl-Guffey men from Pennsylvania.
Mayor Tom L. Johnson of Cleve-'
land, was defeated by H. C. Garber

mittee by 27 to 7 votes.

banner stretching across tho most
prominent street in this city, with

partisanship on account of this being

GUFFEY WINS OUT.
