"I pay tribute to lion. John W. Daniel , "

of Senator Hill sent up a shrill cry when

Rx Governor \Vnlltr stepped to the front
of the platform when Mr. McDermott sat
down He had n toiind , red fnco with
glasses and n blorfc frock tent buttoned up
about a stout chest. Ill * first vvoiel quieted
the ( IcloRfllcfl , but ho soon Inspli-e-d a shout
by the declaration that the names of
Daniel nnd 1II1I would bo elieeied .to
gether He advised the eleellon of 1HI1 as
temporary chairman nnd Daniel es per
manent ehnlrmnn. "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.
When ho appealed to know If the conven
tion was going to turn down David II Hill

Adroitly be worked up to the climax of
his specc.lt when ho asked who It was pro
posed to tuin down a man who had fought
all his life for democracy ? "Turn down
David II Hill' " hi ! asked "lu ( Sod's name
la thin a dcmociatlc convention' "
He tried to appease the nilvci men by
Intimating that the speech Mi. Hill would
deliver would not bo offensive , but when
ho asked "Will > ou turn him down ? " 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

A volley of checis gieetcd this bilef and

MAUSTON GETS A WORD IN.
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.
The vottf was then taken The convention
was vpiy quiet when the roll rail beqan
llreaks were shown In tno ot the southern
states. Alabama and Kloiida. The chair
man of the first announced , that but for the
unit itilo Alabama would give llvo votes
for Hill , and Florida was equally divided
botwi'en Hill and Danlul , with foui ayes
and foui navH The announcements that
Illinois and Indiana caut solid votes for thu
subtftltuto was cheered. The vote ot Iowa
was i hnH ined and the convention had an
opportunity to applaud Qnvprnor Stone of

who roio to maUo a patllamentaiy Inquliy
which biought fiom Chaliman Haiilty the
lUlhiB that when the votu of a state , act

During the progress of Mi. Drillers speech

coaferied with the silver leaders of several
of the delegations Goveinor Altgeld of
Illinois , Goveinor Stoii" of Missouri , Sen-

Bl.'ckbum of Kentucky , and others were
consulted. The gold leaders awaited the
next move ot the silver men with seemlnp
Imperturbability.
When Mr. Daniel finished and announced
that the convention was ready for business
theio were loud cries for Hill The Nev ,
Yotk senator sat quietly eating a sandwich
and showed no disposition to respond. Sen
ator Jones of Arkansas announced that on
behalf of the silver delegates In the house
and at the request of many of them , he
would move the adoption of a resolution of
thanks to Chaiiman Hardly for the Impartial
manner in which ho had presided over
the convention It was adopted unanimously
as was another resolution offered by Senator
White of California , making the iiilea of
the fiftj'-thlrd house of representatives go\-

The roll of states was then called under the
