how tlio repoit of the committee on

therefore, according to the iinturnl
order of things, the picsentation of
raudidates will not occur until Satur
day morning. Owing to the interest
taken in the money question,
tho convention will scarcely de
fer action on the platform until
after tho nomination of the candidate.
It is well known that wlfon (lie nom

and tho gold standard men, alio seem
