OPENING DAY

IN RESPECT TO CLEVELAND
After P'Cllmlnary Work Adjournment

Buiy Trying to Prevent Nom-
ination on First Ballot.
Denver Colo. July 7. The demo-
cratic national convention or 1903
which is to nominate candidates tor
the ulllces of president and vlco
president In opiiasltlou to Win. H.
Taft of Ohio and James S. Sher-
man of Now York Is now In action.
During tho early hours today thous-
ands of delegatus alternates and
spectators from all parts of tho nu-
It Ion began streaming toward hi't
groat auditorium which tho enter-
prise of tho peoplo of Denver had
made ready for tliulr welcome.
An unusual feature of tho day's
program Is the plan to adjourn at
uu eurly hour ns a mark of respect
to tho memory ot ex-Presldunt Gro
vor Cleveland. This adjournment
howevur Is not oxpoctcd to delay
thu material work of tho convention
for today's ttcsblon was as usual
planned to bo preliminary In its na-
ture. Yesterday's lato hours brought
forth Borne Interesting developments
in tho matter of a presidential nom-
ination and was marked by Increasing
urguncy ot effort on thu part of tho
elements opposed to Bryan and to
prevent his nomination.
Thu opposition showed its purpose
to leave not thu smallest stono un-
turned In search of delegates who
might lie prevailed upon to vote
ngalnst thu Nebraska!!. Those who
aro leading this effort admit it is
In tho nature of a forlorn hope.
"Hut" they say "lorlorn hopus havu
been known to turn tho tldu of
gruat battles. Wo have still two days
in which to continue this fight and
wu proposu to continue it until
thort Isn't a tdiot left to bo fired."
As has been tho caso so often
before New Yolk state with Its
handsome total of seventy-eight dele
gatus bund under its unit ru.u to
veto as ono Is tho center ot Inter
est it is recognized that in tho
event that Now York could bo swung
Into tho fight ngalnst Urynn It would
have uu Immonso and perhaps decls
lvo weight against hlin attracting as
It almost certainly would tho delega
tions of other states who will voto
for him unless they seo definite pros
poet of success on tho other side.
Tho New York peoplo at their
caucus took no action upon tho ques-
tion of candidates. It was announcer!
last night by friends of Charles A.

In handling tho crowd which begau
to Mather about the hall uarly In tho

On two of tho streets fronting

gave cool greetings to the visitors.
'From the mountain 'liclglilta snowi
had been brought down to this mllo
high level on a special train and
hauled through thu cll.y In carts of

The day was by no means hot and
the only effect of thu snow was Its
novelty.
The doors of tho big hall wero un
barred at 11:10 and the crowd began

" Temporary Chairman Dell said In
part as follows:
"Wu have assembled at a time
when tho public conscience Is do-

men who undertake to direct tho af
fairs of state. The public eye Is
keenly sensitive to every ol!ticnl

will be approved according to tho
t'J'gree of sincerity appearing In
the work of this convention. There Is
a widespread belief founded upon cv
Idenco of a convincing character
that tho party In power has not
been true to Its trust that It has
betrayed the common Interest Into
the" hands of tho enemies of good
government thereby forfeiting Its
and resentment over tho popular clam
rule In the name of tho peoplo.
"Apparent to every ono Is the
fact that way down deop In tho heart
of tho republican convention at Chi

tention on tho part of the republican
party of granting any reforms. If
