ino Btato for president. This was dollnltoly
decided on at the convention toduv , and tbo
.friends of Michigan's favorlto son maintain
'that the doleeatos selected are for General
Algor and that they will stand by him. The
program announced by General Algcr nt his
address last night was ndhorod to and ro-
suited In the adoption of a resolution to Icavo
the delegates unlnstructod , the general de
pending moro on the personal loyalty of the
various delegates than upon the ofllcacy of
Instructions. The approval of President
Harrison's administration was also in con
formity with Algor's expressed wish of
yostord&y , out it will bo observed that
Ulalnu came In for a somewhat larger share
of tbo encomiums on the administration.
tf very mention of IJlalno wai received with
applause and the orators of the day found it
ngrooablo to conjure tiulto as often with the

chairman , was warmly received and opened
the convention with a stirring speech. Ho
dotailcd tbo principles of the republican
party.
1'iivornil Honest Money.
"Wo have boon honest with the people as
to their money , " said ho , "wo never have
hold out to the American people that that
which is worth tiothiug can bo made worth
something by thn mere stamp or Hat of this
great government ; but wo have Insisted that
whatever circulated among the people as a
dollar , whether It were gold , silver or paper ,
sbould bo worth Just as much as any other
dollar a government ever coined , foppluusoj
that the dollar which went into the pocUot
of tbo poor man for his day's work should
not bo worth 70 cents while the dollar the
rich man received for his coupon * upon a
bond was worth 100 cents upon the dollar. "
Continuing , the speaker praised the con
duct bv Iho administration of the nffairs of
tbo United States with other countries , llo
had uphold the honor , the dignity nnd the
.glory of the American Hag. Hoondoraou the
McKinlov ' law and , in conclusion , after pay
Ing nbig'h tribute to the administration of
President Harrison , said : "IJut the republican
lican party is rich In material for the highest
oftioo in the hlft of the people. It Is not com
pelled to select ono man because there is no
other. [ Applause. ] But whether it bo Bon
Harrison , or whether It be that distinguished
citizen whoso tiamo Is a household word and
is'.troastucd in love by every heart in the
etatoof Michigan [ applause ] a man who
stands today stronger and truer aud nobler
because of tbo shafts of calumny and
cowardice which have been hurled at him
and have fallen harmless at his loot , whether
it bo Alcer [ aPPmuso ] or HarrUon , the re
publican party will make no mistake. " [ Ap
plause. ]

of the great republican convention : 'Ob , for
a thousand tougucs to sing tbo republican
party's praises. ' " Ho was aware , bo said ,
that oftlccrs of the World's Columbian expo

partisan speeches. Ho did not propose to
make any sucb , ho snld , but said ho was a
republican and always should bo uuloss it
swerved from the line that It had followed
for tbo last thirty-eight years. Ho pro

Iwv YOUK , April 14. Kx-Socrotary of the
Navy William C. Whitney started on a six
weeks' trip In Kuropo yesterday. Ho goes
to visit n daughter who has boon away two
years , Just boforti his departure ho said tea
a Times reporter :
"Tbo only trouble with the democratic
party U that dlssonstons may possibly load to
bad blood. The situation , however , is very
much Hko It was In 1875 , when Tildon was
nominated , The democratic party In the
west was committed to greenbacklsm. The
candidacy of Tildon wa ? looitod upon as
likely to fall of support In the west. The
Grant administration had created an Issue ,
nnd Governor Tlldon , by vigorous warfare
on the canal ring In the state , was a domi
nant llguro In tlio democratic parly to moot
It. Ho was nominated nnd grocnbacklsm
was forgotten. Tbo party was unified and
really carried the election. At this distance
from Iho convention of 1870 ihoro was a pnr-
feet parallelism botwoou the condition ot the
party at that time aud nownnd with regard to
: andldalc3 , It scorns to mo the situation Is
n I to tlio sumo as It was at that time. For
oed or 111 , Iho Issun of the democratic party
.t the prosonl time Is larlft reform not free
iomapo , not the destruction of our Industries
hat bavo grown up under ptwont tnrllt laws ,
ut relief from over-protection unnecessary
or tlio prosperity of our industries , from the
ivor-taxntlon of tbo people that results In
inching n few at the expense of the many ,
, nd of the uxtravajjanco of public expendit
ures which results from this over-taxation.
'Tho ' battle of 1892 has to bo fought upon
heso Issues In general. They have boon
'rained and put to the front by Mr. Clevo-
and. It seems to m.j from looking ever tun
lold that Iho people will not DO satisllcd uu-

Id In 1837. thinking it premature , nnd wish-
ng the buncllt of strength which would como

irojidency In 1883. which should have natur-
.lly resulted fronr Uls administration record ,
.lowovor , the Issue was made , It is
.oday dominant In the country , and
think the fooling of democrats
hroughout the country is ono of contldcnco
n the result in 1892. But if wo hope for suc-
: oss wo must have consideration for the dlf-
oronces within the party and for the per-
ional preferences of individuals. I luiow
hiit no ono feels better disposed In this re
gard than Mr. Cleveland himself. llo thinks
nuch moro of the issue nnd of the party's
uecos-i than of his Individual position.
" 1 have donoovorythlrg to Influence pco-
) lo within the party to have consideration

unnot bo dragooned into an enthusiastic
upport of candidates. 1 fcol certain that
ivbcn it appears that Mr. Cleveland is the
general cholco of the democratic party for
ho next campaign , not from lack of appro
bation of the merits of other prominent dem-
mrats , but because of the Issues , and oven
his point to him. personal preference , will
ield to the general Judgment , aud wo shall
go into the light in bolter shape than in any

from the west were largely in favor of frco
coinage. The south , ho said , was for free
coiuago and the west was for It.
"If " said the

young statesman , "why don't you say so in

Then turning to the audience ho continued :
' If you want the purchasing power of gold

A. J. Sawyer of'Lancaster , chairman of
the coramlu.ua on resolutions , was tbo first to
reply to Mr. Bryan. As reasons for refusing
to place tlio free silver plank in tbo platform ,
bo stated that it wai'a question that was
dying , if not already , , dead. Another reason
was that 1 ho convention had endorsed Grover
Cleveland , and the committee did not think
that tbo convention wanted to stultify Itself ,
as such action would necessarily and cer
tainly do. Tbo party bad always been In

Chairman Batty then took up Ilia discus
sion. Ho held that It was not necessary for
the democratic party to taUu up every ism
that cumo drifting along. "Tha democratic ]
narty , " said Mr. Batty , "micht us well adopt
a plank favoring woman's Hufl'rago as free
sllvor coinage. | "Ob rome off ! " "Huts

wo want is success , and it Is better to liavc
success without free coinage than fuilun
with it. "
Mr. Hatty was applauded by tbo nntis and
hooted by tbo free silver crowd.
Mr. Albert Wntlsins was thnu called out.
Ho tallied rapidly and touched only upon the
expediency of putting a free silver colnago
planic in the platfpr/n. Ho bold that tbe
national democracy could not hope to win il
the party toolc up the free silver craze. New
York , Wisconsin , Indiana and the whole
northwest would go against free silver. If
the party Ebould adopt a free silver
plank , buucew would bo impossible.
Mr. Wntltiim said Ijq vds amazed that a man

I'ri'O Silver Kiinclu'il Out.
The roll call wa ? ordered on Bryan's motion
o innko the silver plank n part o * Iho plat-
orm. Tlio confusion was something torrillc.
Most of the woitcrn counties were in favor
ot free silver. Douglas , Gugo and some other
counties casting heavy votes wont solid
icnlnst free silver. Some of the delegates
md taker , their departure , but thoie who ro-
naincd were dosply Interested in the voto.
Two secretaries kept tolly and ono got the
columns footed up llrst. Ho gave It out to
these near the platform that free silver had
carried. Mr. Bryan and several free silver
nen rushed to the platform and in n twink-
iiifj the free silver men were yolliug nnd
lingiug their hats In the air.
Chairman Batty rapped vigorously nnd
Inally secured silonco. Ho tbon rend the
result ns bolnpr 217 in favor of the silver
ilnnk nnd 257 against.
Tbo sccno that followed beggars descrip
tion. The wildest storm in the Douglas
county fight was n summer zephyr com
pared with this.
Dcinonratlc Harmony ,
The Iron silver men flow toward the front
yelling , "Fraud , " "Villainy,11 "It's n lie , "
" \ouuro a villain , " nnd kindred remarks of
.ho most violent nature. They sprang unon
the reporters' table In frontof the chairman's
desk and fairly howled with rngo. They
shook their flsti at Chairman Batty and
.hrcja toned him with personal violence.
Over the reporters' table and upon
tbo platform they s\vnrmod Ilka
a band of Indians on the warpath. The
chairman was powerless. Ho pounded the
tnblo iu vain. Mr. Bryan , Mr. Boyd and
half u dozen others tried to quiet the tumult ,
but the fury of the storm bad to blow itself
out Lefoio a calm could bo secured.
Utlilftl JSo-iin's rill.
After fully twenty minutes of this perfect
bedlam , In which It looked as tlioimh several
lights might taito place , the chairman finally
secured something lilca order and explained
that there vero two footings , ono urlvlng the
victory to the free silver faction and the
other giving it to the opposition. Another
howling storm of dissatisfaction and rage j
followed , but after ton minutes more It was I
decided to have another roll call.
The second ballot resulted in the defeat of
the silver planK bv a votoof ! SU for and 247
against , some of the delegates having gene
homo.
Tbo result was n bitter disappointment to
Mr. Bryan and bis tfreo coinngo followers ,
out they bed to take their medicine.
W. H. Thompson offered a resolution en
dorsing tbo work of Congressman Oryan ,
particularly upon the tariff question , and
commended his work in concress as being
for tbo best Interests of the people. The resolution
elution was pusied by a unanimous voto.
Planks to Catch Votes.
A rather heated little talk took place be
tween Governor Boyd and Congressman
Bryun during u ten-minuto recess taken for
the purpose of letting the Third district
select its district , delegates.
"That free silver plan It In the platform
upon which I was elected didn't moan any
thing , aud you know it. " said the governor.
"What was it put in for if It didn't mean
nnylhinel" retorted Bryan. "I wasn't a
member'of that committee. You can't ' accuse
mo of putting it there. "
"Don't discuss the matter any more , " said
Mr. Offutt , leading Governor Boyd away ,
while some of Bryan's friends tool ; him in
the opposite direction.
Klislly rinlHliecl.
Most of the delegates left the hall after the
vote on the silver question , and the work of
selecting four nltornates-at largo was void of
interest or excitement , Nina men were
placed in nomination , and the vote resulted
as follows : J. Hubbell of Jefferson , 7(5 ( ;
George W. West of Polk , 220 ; J W. Fergu

Mr. Hitchcock was much Interested in tbo

Mr. Mahoney picked him up with remarkable -

"THE STORY OF THE CIIOSB. "
Jhullpy Ituok'n I.utrit Cunlutii Drniimtiriilly
Sung In Otimlm.
It rarely happens that nn midlonco Is
treated to so dramatic nn Incident as was the
largo assemblage of pcopla last evening nt
Trinity cathedral upon the flrst rendition of
"Tho Story of the Cross , " by Dudley Buck ,
n cantata illustrative nf the condemnation
nnd death of Christ nnd Ills resurrection ,
"And Ho Bowctl Ills Head nnd Yielded
Up the Ghost" had been sung by the chorus ,
when out ever tbo sleeping city tolled the
bell of Trinity , not once , but thirt.v-throa
times , tho. vonrs of the Savior's life. It was
unexpected , startling In Its nnturo even , nnd
the religious sentiment o'imo uppermost in
the minds nnd hearts of the 000 pcoplo pres
ent and till over the bcnutlful cdlllce bowed
heads testified to the hold that one Incident
had tniton upon thorn. The silence was op-
prosslvo almost , mid for thruo minutes not
the rustle of a skirt or tlio turning of n lout
broke Iho swelling cadence of the big boll In
the belfry of tbo church.
It U not extravagant to sav that there arc
few Protestant churches whoso music has
not been dlgnlllcd and improved by Dudley
Buck's contributions , particularly ot'anthar.is
nud to deums , ns well ns compositions for Iho
orcim , of which be is a consummate master.
But of Into years ho has turned bis attention
to cantata , ainouc his larger works oi'ing
his "Doi Alunlo , " (1871) ( ) ; the "Centennial , "
written for Iho centennial nt Philadelphia ;
"Tho Nun of Nldaros , " (1878) ( ) ; "Tho Voyage
of Columbus , " (1SS.1 ( ; ; "The Light of Asia , "
( ISbO ) , nnd now ho crowns his reputation
with "Tbo Story of the Cross , " (1SUJ ( ) .
Nothing could bo moro appropriate for
Lenten services than this dramatic recital of
the last days in the Savior's llfo. The author
has approached the subject with deep relic-
ious thought : ho has grasped the endless
possibilities of the drama enacted in the holy
city with n clasp of a Titan , and he has gl von
to the religious world n work which cannot
help but place him among the world's great
composers of the "lyric poem set to music in
different , alternating compositions , " ns the
cantata has been dollnoa by Koch.
Tbo cantata opens with * a prologue , "Now
my soul , thy voice uprising , " antlpbonal in
construction , changing ton modified form of
the cation In style , which ushers In "Tbo
Morning" nud gives opportunity to the olto ,
ending In a trio , "And Pilnto asked them ,
saying , " which was finely sung by Mrs. Cot
ton , Miss Bishop and Miss Clarkson.
Pilate , who was impersonated by Mr.
Lombard ( L > ns ) , tbon appears and in roclt-
atlvo asks , "What accusation bring yo
against this maul" followed bv "Tbo Accu
sation , " 'u fine chorus taken up by thobas.ses :
"We found this man perverting tbo nation 1"
A breathing spell is given the singers at
this point , the urgan in macnihcontmcasuros
picturing the inarch to the judgment hall.
A quartet of female voices rovonU the
environments of the ball , which Mmikncsy
has immortalized in painting by his famous
picture , "Christ Before Pllato. " Then fol
lows a solo for Pilate , which gives a line
background for the words of JCSIH sung by
Walter Wilklui , tbe tenor , "My kingdom is
not of this world. " And right hero it may
DO said that Mr. Wilkins never sang with
moro soulful fervor than last night. The
music is intensely sympathetic nud beauti
fully suited to the voice of him who gave so
much careful muslciunly study to the .score.
Throughout bo showed the art of the artist
and astonished his friends with his excellent
quality o"f middle and upper register.
After tbo scene oetwoen Jesus nnd Ptlnto
comes n strong dramatic situation which
brought out the line trninintr of the choir to
commendable advantage , whcro the rubble
cry out "Crucify Him ! " The orsan lacked
strength at this point , particularly in the
forte passages when tbo ciioius wns singing ,
but in the repetition of the motif Mr. Butler ,
the organist , came gloriously to tno front *
The condemnation opens with a quartet of
fumalo voices , which changes to solo for bass
( Pilate ) , and this is followed iu turn by a
fugue for chorus : "His blood will bo upon
us nnd upon our children. " 1 hero is In this
number a remarkable change in key , which
shows how absolutely Buck is Blaster of the
orcran as well as master of composition and
counterpoint.
Very linn is the number that follows :
"Then did Pilate deliver Jesus uuto them
to bo crucified , " the via crusis , ns it Is denominated -
nominated in the work , written in fuuera
march tempo , giving the chorus line oppor
tunities for choral interpretations. Jesus
closes this purl of the sceuo with His soulful
utterance , "Father1 , forgive thorn , " suggestive -
gostivo almost of the Gregorian chant in its
btylo of musical thought.
The "Stabat Mater Dolorosn" introduces
Iho fourth sconoof tbo tragedy , with Maiy ,
the mother of Jesus , i.s tbo central llgure.
"At the cross her station keeping , " for so
prano. Mrs. Cotton , who deserves uusttiiti d
credit for this production , excelled herself in
her soprano solos , particularly In this last
number. She sang tunefully and intelli
gently with technical skill nnd agreeable
evidences of deep religious sentiment.
"Oh , how sad and sere distressed , " for
alto , gave Miss Bishop a cbanco to show tbo
timbre ot her voice , aud the young lady em
braced tbo opportunity. Her voice Is pecu
liarly sympathetic , suited for just such com
positions , and she acquitted borsolf with
distinguished credit , as did also Miss Clark-
son In the quartet work.
From this on the action is rapid. Jesus
from the cross saying , "My God , why hast
tbou forsaken me , " the chorus and bassos
reciting tbo last sccno of that "eventful his
tory.1 And then tlio psnt-un spirit of the
Lord breaks the prison bars , while ever tlio
heads of the multitude floats the words , "It
U finished , " the chorus taking up the mons-
tire and merging it into the picture of tlu
situation "And ho bowed His head and
yielded up vho ghost , " the bell lolling the
ugo of the Savior as n grand climax.
The action increases. Thu earthquake is
announced by n terrific peal on the organ ,
Imitative of the Tailing of temples , houses
and the parting of the earth , which Is suc
ceeded by tbo quartet singing , ' "Tis fin
ished. "
Then comes the linn ! soono in the tragedy ,
"The sepulchre , " Mrs. Cotton singing tbo
descriptive part , tolling how Joseph jelled
the stone away. Tbo epilogue , conforming to
Iho unciont form of dramatic works , closes
tno tragedy , huiic by chorus , principals and
aided by the full power of Iho organ , "Tho
Story i Told , " lyrical to a pronounced Jo-
ijrco.
Too much cannot hi said in praUo of the
work of the choir , which , without n baton ,
was excellent in the attacks -and sang with a
religious feeling that was unusiir.l. Trinity
Is lo bo congratulated on having so excellent
an organization ,
