"Are there other ar- rariKements made' " ho asked , snicastlcylly. "Yea , sir. " shouted Congressman Money from Mississippi , waving n broad brimmed straw hat from the block of scats directly below the pintfoiin. Mr Whitney nnd his fellow delegates from New York applauded the declaration that IIIH nnd Daniel should be cheered to gether , and then- was an attempt at n demonstration when Waller shouted that ho would bo the last man to bolt nnd would stay with the Janitor when every other man had left the contention hull , but the de termined slhor men were chaiy of glvlni , applause nt the conciliatory advances fioin the gold men They Roomed to fear the Greeks bearing gifts , and the southeiii and western delegates sat stolidly like men who had fixed thcli program , as In-Iced they had , and were Impatient of this prellmlnatj sparring which was postponing the gnat collision.

" there were erica of "Wo will " "Very will , " ho shouted defiantly , "turn him down and wo will fight jou hero and olsowhcip " This unmasking of the position of the gold men was met with a storm of hlsbcs and ono of the silver men shouted : "One vote for McKlnley " Ho flnlnlud with an appeal to tbo ma- Jorltj not tn use their brute foiro THOMAS nXI'LAINS 11' ALL. Mr C S Thomas , the national comiult- tccman fioni Cnloiado , wns then introduced amid the plaudits of the silver men. llo declared that It wna an unheard of pro cedure for the national commltteu to at tempt to foice upon the convention In op position to the ascertained will of the majority. This was the icnson that no minority lopoit had over before been piescnted at a national con vention. An ho proctcded the silver delegates cheered and cheered , cspcclallj when ho openly declared that he and others of the wci > t had long becoino Imlitlerait to what the national committee did He made a strong point when hn told the convention that four yeais ago ho had b"en hero ad vocating Mr Hill's nomination for president and he and othcis like him hail been refused a hearing They had been cried down Senator Daniel had been cried down be cause Mr Hill's opponent , Mr Cleveland , had contial of the convention The majoilty of , the convention had a right to name the tcmporarj chairman I appeal to you , " hu concluded , "to otahd by the minority report Lot It not he said that in the firbt skirmish our pickets have boon dilveii In" The Impatience of the silver men vented itself In tilcM of "Vote" when Thomas finished , but Chairman llunity called for Chaileb C. Wallci of Alabama Mr. Wallet proved himself to be a fiery southcrnei and ho showed feeling when ho told how he had been mndo to swallow the bitter mcdl- clno four years ago when another Now York democrat had been thrust over the head of Senator Hill This was the llrst rofeienco to I'lcsldcnt Cleveland and was uufi loudly and passed without notice at the hands of the convention. Mr. Waller had something to say about the rule of majorities , and turning to Chairman Har- rlty fiercely demanded to be told how the ciealuro could bo above the master William T Taiplo of California followed In favor of the minority leport "The money question , " said ho , "Is the onlj question In which the demouacy of the country has an Interest in thh campaign AVe want the tempoiaiy ehaliman of this convention to sound the keynote of the situation and wo want his address to go to the country as a declaiatlon of our views Wo are determined that the Kejnoto shall bo a silver sneech In haimuny with the views of this convention " A volley of checis gieetcd this bilef and outspoken cliaiactcrlzatton of the Issue on which the light against Mr. Hill vvas being made.

Mr Mnrston. who next appeared on the platform In behalf ot Mr. Daniel , created a storm ot amusement Ills opening sen tence , "It la not that we love David 11 Hill less , but that we lovu dcmociacj more. " dellvcitd In stentorian tones , set the convention wild He went on to de clare that the best blood of Massachusetts coursed through his veins. This was more than the convention could stand and It be gan to cry him down His reception resem bled Eomewhat that frequently accorded the ccltbiated comedian , James Owen O'Connor , who was on one occasion obliged to play behind a net. Cvciy time lie es- sajeel to speak the crov/d howled and while the din and confusion wore on the I.ouis- ii'iinn paced up and down the platform At the pud ot each round trip he poured out and gulped down a large glass of Ice water The delegates In the pit , though they took no part In the demonstration against him , roared with laughtei After repeated cIToits ho was allowed to complete his speech John M Duncan of Te\as was bi ought forward but met with another storm of Impatient shouts , demanels for a vote and calls of "louder. " Mr Duncan began by asking the question , who was most guilty of slaughter , those who slaughtered or those who led to the slaughter ? but was Intciiuptcd by Chalman Harrlty , who pleaded for order , while Mr. Duncan stood back and ran his hand through a mass of hair suggestive of Roscoe Conkl Ing's fa mous brow , with a gesture that also sug gested Colliding This time the chairman prevailed and Mr Duncan announcing , "I will begin over again" did so and soon finished Aftei Mr. Duncan came C. K. Ladd of Illinois , whoso speech was also hi let. All this time , while the name of David 13. Hill was being lauded and praised and tojed with the New Yolk senator sat with folded aims In his delegate's seat , flanktd by Wil liam C Whitney nnd John IT. Follows , with his sphinx smile occasionally cropping out when some point was attempted foi or against him. "No one doubts that his speech would bP a good one , " said Mr. Ladd , speaking of Hill , "and no one doubts that it would be a Now York speech , " and at this sally Sen ator Hill himself was forced to laugh out right , while Mr Ladd went on to declare that such a speech would have to be ex plained to the republicans throughout the whole campaign. General JV St Clalr of West Virginia made a stiong speech In favor of sustain ing the majoilty leport. Ho Is a conspicu ous and Imnresslvc figure nnd his woids fell hcavllj on the silver foices. He was a dpinociat. ho said , who believed in .fice sllvor and the nomination of a rock-ribbed ficc silver demociat , but hn was of the opinion that It would bo a Rieat mistake to overthrov. a time-honored democratic pieccdcnt anil leiuse to select the man sug gested by the national ronnnlttce. Much as he would regret voting against John W Daniel whom ho loved and reveled he did not bellevo the convention could afford to "tutu down David I ) Hill , for what harm could David n Hill do' " IIP asked. It was undemocratic The mlnoiity had a light to be heard , and the olive branch should bo held out to them. Mr St Clalr'a speech aroused the gold men to a high pitch of enthusiasm , National Commltteeman Clavton of Ar kansas clo'cd the debate In favor of electing Mr Daniel with an allusion to Air Marston's penchant for lce water ns undemocratic This of couroo la'lsed a laugh He paid a glowing tt Unite to Senator IIIH "I was In'io tour jcai.s ago , " said ho. "when the antl-suippeis wera condemning and de nouncing him U that time I v.as pialsing him. He was my champion I learned democracy with Ml. Hill and If ho had clung to his Rlmlra delegation In favor of fice coinage , ho woulel today bii my can didate fur president. " THEN TAKR THR VOTD.
