A few feet away with the Colorado
delegation was Governor Waite of
| the silver state. Senator Mantle
of Montana and Shoup of Idaho
j conversed fraternally with Fatter-
I son of Colorado, the first two re-
publicans and last the leader of
the five coinage faction in the
democratic national convention a
year ago. Governor Kolb, the
populist leader of Alabama, sur-
rounded by a score of brawny pop-
ulists. was one of the most con-
spicuous men in the convention
and as he conversed warmly with
Editor Goodwin of the Salt Lake
Herald, the two were joined by
Herman G. Taubineck of the ex-
ecutive committee of the people's
j party, and a moment later the in-
teresting trio were increased by
WIISIUH' Dubois of Idaho, who will
| observe no caucus that opposes
the free coinage of silver.
WKl.CO.MKI) liV MAYOR HA KIM SOX.
When Chairman Warner called
the convention to order scores of
j delegates were obliged to stand in
jtlie aisles. In a few opening
| wonls Chairman Warner intro-
duced Mayor Harrison of Chicago,
who welcomed the delegates in
brief speech, in conclusion
said: "They say those who be-
lieve in bimetallism are crazy. If
I the act of IS7.'{ is blotted from the
annals of American political ac-
tion in my Itelief silver will l>e
I worth 121> cents an ounce. Be
i wise in your delilterations, but
fearless. Congress is about to
meet us. (Jive the l>enefit of your
delilterations to congress and tell
Grover Cleveland what the people
want." [Great applause.]
Hon. Thomas M. Patterson, res-
ponding to Mayor Harrison's ad-
dress. reviewed the present finan-
cial situation and said in con-
clusion: "We ask for but the
I free coinage that Hamilton and
Jefferson and Monroe gave to the
country, and which was ratified by
congress and the people when
I Andrew Jackson was president.
[Applause.] We stand by the
law of 1702 placed upon the
j statute books when the constitu-
tion was tirst adopted and when
thirteen five and independent
colonies liecame united as free
!and independent states."

The committee on rules and or-
der of business was chosen ant
the roll of states was orderec
called for the appointment of the
committee on resolutions.
Thomas of Colorado suggested
that each state have three mem-
bers, one from each political party.
Vondervoort of Nebraska said
he hoped party differences woult
not l>e iveognized in the conven-
tion.
Fletcher of Colorado said that
when the convention adjourned it
would l>e charged that it was un-
der the domination of one of the
three great paities. In order to
obviate that the Colorado delega-
tion thought it wise to ask that
one member l»e elected from each
of the three great parties in the
several states.
Ex-Senator Reagan of Texas
arose and mounted the stage.
We are here," said he, "for the
purpose of trying to relieve the
country from the present embar-
rassment and place it on a footing
of prosperity. I understand that
we aiv here as bimetallists without
reference to any distinction of
political parties, but as citizens of
the great republic to unite our
voices regardless of party affilia-
tions for the purpose of arresting
the rule of the gold men and bond-
holders. and for the purpose of re-
storing to the country the condi-
tion of properity from which it
has !>een driven by improper
legislation. The moment we in
troduce a partisan question in the
convention, we throw before it
a matter which is going to cause
trife and confusion and impair
the work of the convention."
[Applause] "I appeal to the
convention to go on with its duty
and declared purpose of restoring
he country the gold and silver
coinage, as it existed before 1K73,
ind restore the prosperity of the
country and afterward take caue
>f party affiliations." [Great ap-
plause] .
he sense of the convention was
so overwhelmingly with Keagan
that Thomas withdrew .his motion.
THE COMMITTEES.
The roll of states was called and
the committee on resolutions was
ippointed. The Texas member is
John II. Keagan.
'1 he question of preparing an
address to the people and a memo-
rial to congress, after some dis-
cussion, was referred to the com-
mittee on resolutions.
At this point Chairman Reagan
and the special committee escorted
Thurman to the stage. The ap-
pearance of Thurman was the sig-
nal for uproarous applause, and
after il had subsided he spoke as
above.
1 lie committee on credentials
reported forty-two states and terri-
tories represented and 810 dele-
gates entitled to seats.
The committee on rules and or-
der of business' report was adopt-
ed. It provides that all discus-
sions be confined to the subject of
bimetallism, and that no delegate
U- entitled to speak more than
five minutes on the same subject.
P()M'I)KRLY TALKS.
In response to a general demand,
Hon. T. V. Powderly of the
Knights of Labor addressed the
convention in part as follows:
"Twenty-five thousand Knights of
Labor stand today on the verge of
ruin. On our western streets 10,-
000 are already idle and 50,000
have advised me to come here and
say the west is in danger from
those who would demonetize sil-
ver and drive it from the country.
Governor \V aite has been criticised
because he referred to the old
country. He was right. It is
time we should shake off the
shackles of those who would fast-
en them on our limbs from across
the water. But let us in our de-
liberation lie calm, cool and de-
liberate. For if there ever was a
time in the history of America
when cool, calm deliberation stood
necessary before the people, that
hour is at hand. I do not believe
in saying that the Jews are the
only ones who are to blame: Why
1 know Christians who know how-
to rake in usury in such a way as
to giv-e points to Judas himself.
The Omaha convention recently
declared for free and unlimited
coinage of silver. It has been
asked how many Knights of Labor
stand on that question? Let me
say they stand a unit on it, not in
the west, in the north, in the
s<outh or in the east, alone, but
wherever they are. The Knights
of Labor, if they are true to their
obligations, and they all are,
stand for the free and unlimited
coinage of silver on a ratio of 1 to
16." [Tremendous applause and
cheers].
Hon. Ignatius Donnelly -was
called for and spoke over h^llf an
hour. He denonaeed the act of
1873 as a crime' tod the present
depression in silver as the result

Chicago, 111., Aug. 1.—Central
mnsic hall was crowded to the
doors tonight by the friends of
silver who assembled to listen to
speeches by Senator Stewart of
Nevada and Congressman Bryan
of Nebraska.
Senator Stewart spoke first. He
referred to the closing of the mints
in India to silver cotnage by the
British government, pointing out
that the action" of the English
>eople was almost simultaneous
with that of President Cleveland
in calling an extra session of con-
gress. The senator said it looked
very much as if it were a precon-
certed arrangement of both gov-
ments to demonetize silver.
Congressman Bryan spoke fully
two hours, holding the attention
of the audience to the last. His
arguments were to the effect that
the present financial crisis was not
caused by silver legislation now
the statute books.
