In thIs city this afternoon. Since Monday

'enling ' for a ticket nominated on a platform
on a sound money blSls , the other clamoring
for free coinage without waiting for an In-
ternatonal agreement. From start to fnbh
the white metal contingent did nearly all the

JutonB committee . Iot Into a wrnllo on the
financial plank that kept them In the corn-
mlteo room unt nearly 4 o'clock , the cur-
rncy resolution being overhauled and recol-
structed two or three times before an agreement -
ment was reached , and the majority making
persistent efforts to avert the introduction or
tire minority report. During this Interval
tire COlventol did nothing but listen to free
sliver spteches by radical white metal cham-
iion. TilO sound money men preserved
slenco except that Cato Sells made a short
talk or conciliatory character. The cOltro
Versy grew warm and biter , and when
the minority report favoring free coin-
ego wus Introduced another long silver
" discussion was precipitated , and for awhile
I
> tire proceellngs were tririrultirous. Tic final
roll cal -n tire resolutions showed the white
metal crowd defeated hy a vote or 6612 to
42O' , . A mighty shout , mingled with groans ,
followed the announcement or the result . A
large number oC free silver delegates Immell-
ately left the hal , not waiting for ' the nomi-
nations.

C lonelP Bayie was Tnrormd by S'lerlf

had as yet been killed. All admitted , however -
ever , that 100 citizens , all colored , hal been
driven train their homes by n mob comlose <
or Italians , Poles Bnvaralns and Hungarians.
Colonel laylo was then Inrormrd that the
miners were to hold a areas mEetng on the
Public square at 3 o'clock , lt which the following -
lowing resolutions were to be presented for
adoption :

The resolltons also denounced the reports
sent out from here to the Chicago news-
pilrers. At the appointed hour some 600
miners assembled In the publc square at tire
mass meeting. I was n curious gathering.
lIvery . nation In eastern and southern Euroia I
was represented. Every moton that was
made and every speech had to be repeated
at least six tmes and at each time In a different -
rerent language. In response came numerous
Inquiries as to whether the negroes would
come back t the resolutions were adopted
To these Inquiries Chairman Ianey replied
that the law must take Its COllrse anll peace
be preserved. This dill not seem to meet with
general approval and many left the meetng ,
At length the chairman put the questloir.
The vote was about a tie . but the chairman
declared It carried The meeting then ad-
journed. When the meeting adjourned these
who hall been Instrnmental In calling It met
at the Spring Valey hotel with Colonel lar Ie ,
the county oilcials .and representatives or tire
coal companies , Most or the flucatons were
proposed by James O'Connor , preshlent or the
State Miners' union. H was durin/ this Qlles-
tonlng It developed that Manager Dalzel
would willingly take back nut the miners who
had quit work save these who had committed
crimes. Dalzel explulnetl that the colored
men who hall been driven rrom the mine
were anxious to come back. They had sent
word to this effect . "I replied , " ontnued he ,
"tirat t they wanted to come back they
. "
could do so.
O'Connor requested Dalzel to walt two or
three days after the mines started before he
asked colored men to returnr. This was satisfactory -
Isractory to Dalzel and he concluded by In-
rormlng all present that he would advise tire
colored men they could come back. Notwithstanding -
withstanding tine miners' resllutons I Is
generally believed there will bo trouble Ir the
colored men core back.
