LINCOLNNeb. . , May 10. [ Special to Tun
KEK.J The ( lay has been devoted entirely to
the howlug of export testimony In the Sheedy
murder case , The examination of Dr. Ever
ett consumed the major portion of the dnv
nnil some Interesting testimony wns ollcittfd
from lilin. The doctor helped dress Sbcedy's
wound" the night ho was lujuvod , was culled
In the next morning nt 4 o'clock ,
participated in the consultation n few
hours lutcr , helped at the core
ner's Inquest , nnd u little over three weeks
ago helped to dig up tlio body ngnlt'i , nnd tiaO
mndo ncnrofnl examination of the skull. The
JIvcr nnd bladder had been turned over to
Prof , llnynos of the Hush medical collpfro ,
Chicago , onoof tlio most famous lexicologists
In the country. The latter statements
caused considerable ) consternation among the
attorneys for the defense.
Dr. ( jnnnett , who \vtw on the witness
stand yesterday , wns put on again today.
He testified mainly coniioriihiK Hie effects of
morphlnu poisoning. Ho declared that ordi
narily atoxic dose of morphine showed Its
effects In from thirty to forty minutes.
At this juncture Strode soiled a small
book bound In calf , nnd walking up to the
witness held It in his face. Ho then asked ;
"What book is that ! " pointing to the vol.
U1IIO.
U1IIO."It
"It is labelled 'Taylor on Poisons' , " was
the reply.
Opening the book , Strode anld : "Just rend
those lines. "
The witness road : "Tho effects of mor
phine poisoning arc noticeable within from
llfteon to thirty minutes. "
"Now , " said Strode , "haven't ' you rend an
authority which says tlmt the affects of mor
phine poisoi.lng nro noticeable within from
llfteon tathlrtv minutes < "
lAiniiertson objected mat sucu was noi n
fair and proper way of innkitiR an examina
tion. ' 'I object , " said he , "to these gun tie-
men educating tlio witness. " The Judge
sustained the objection. Strode then asked
the witness ! "What medical authority can
you cite that says tlmt It requires from thirty
to forty minutes for n toxic dose of morphine
to make Itself manifest ! "
1'ho vitncss stated that ho believed bo had
gotten the Men from n tnblo of statistics
published in n certain medical work. This
work was lying on the table near which the
attorneys were slttliifc' . Strode seized it
ami demanded :
' Now show me where. . it says that It takes
from thirty to forty minutes for a toxic dose
of niorpnlno to take offcct. Just point it
out. "
Tno vitncss took the book , but nftor look-
Inpthrouiih it fora few minutes , said that ho
could not find anvthinp.Vhoiviipon Strode
remarked :
"Then you wore , mistaken , weren't you ! "
U'lio witness admitted that , ho was as far as
tho' authority for the snmo wns concerned.
The witncsss was then again asked when the
effects ot n toxic or poisonous dose of mor
phine was administered how lonp It would ho
before the effects would ho noticeable. Ho
replied :
"In from twenty to fifty minutes , judging
from my own experience. "
"Arc you in the habit of administering
poisonous doses of morphlno ! " demanded
Stearns , "You speak of your own experi
ence. "
Lamfcortson objected to this question ns an
insult nnd the interrogation wns withdrawn.
The witness then wns asked concerning his
experience with patients who had boon
poiioncil by morphlno. Ho related one in-
Rtnnco. In thit case the symptoms wore the
same as those manifested by John Shecdy.
Witness had also bad several other patients
sulforhu ? from the same cause.
.Attorney Strode , counsel for Mrs. Shecdy ,
then naked :
"Tho symptoms In concussion of tie brain ,
compression of the brain nnd morphlno
poisoning may bo the same , may they noil"
"Yes , sir , " was the reply.
"Cannot death result from concussion of
the brain without showing any disturbance
in that organ nt the post mortem i"
"It might. "
"Such n ' blow as tlmt received by John
Shecdy might cause concussion of the brain ,
might It not ! "
"It might. "
"Is it mi possible- dlagnoslcnto a case of
morphine poisoning from the post mortem
examination nlonof. "
"It is. "
U'ho witness then continued : "Such n Wow
wns suftlcient to cause death , but I do not
think that In this case it did. Thorn was
some extravasation of blood , but it was from
nil Old jvound at tbo back of the bead. "
Strode then asked :
"In d Uh from morphine poisoning nro not
the convulutlons of the brala somewhat
flattened ! "
"I don't know. "
The vitncss then continued : "In the post
mortem of tlio body there was noticeable an
excessive molsturo of the brain. There wns
coauuln in the heart. The lungs were
Bliphtly congested. From what I saw nttuo
post movtem examination , 1 do not know
that John Shecdy had died from the effects
of morphine. I would not have suspected
morphlno poisoning from what I saw."j
Ko-cross examination : "Did you mulio nn
examination at the time of the upper part of
thospliial cord or the medulla oblongtiU"
"I did. "
"State Its conditions. "
"Tho vessels were very congested nt the
surface. I would expect to see aucti nn en
gorgement of the blood vessels at ttiat point
in case of morphlno poisoning. "
At this Juncture tha witness was asked to
show tlio Jury certain discoloration * on the
skull. This was objected to by Stroilo bo-
eiuiso the skull had not been offered In cvi-
ilcni'o. Lambcrtson then said :
" \Vo offer the skull In evidence. Now , wo
will see what you will object to. "
Strode- then snld t "Wo object to the pres
entation of the skull Jn evidence because it
win taken from the body lone after ttio
ofllclal examination ; bccnuso It has not DCOII
in tbo ofllcinl custody of anybody and because
no person on the part of the defense has
known or boon apprised of the fact that the
phull wns to bo offered In evidence. "
Objection overruled ,
The doi'lor then stopped forward nnd
showed the Jury the various dlscolonttionsun
the skull. U'ho witness then stated : "On
thg ro-exainiuatlun of the skull after tlio
autopsy I hnvo coino to tha conclusion that
the blow \\as of greater force than I hod nt ,
llrst bcHorod " I
. On olck to tha witness stand ho con
tinued ! "I have scon several cases of mor
phlno poisoning. The .congestion of the
nervous cord intent hu'vo been caused by
compression or concussion of ttio brain , or by
morphlno poisoning. "
"Who lured you to make this examina
tion ! " demanded Strode.
"IJr. Everett asked me to assist blin In the
work. "
"How much money nro vou to get for It ! I"
anil Strode cast a wickjd look at the witness.
" ( don't know. Kuthlnff bus been said
about pay. "
"So \ \ Is n labor of love cii your part , is It , "
ancored Strode , "or nre you interestoit in the
conviction of Mrs. Sheeny I"
To tbls Mr. Lambortsoa objected. "Mr.
Strode , " said ho , "may go on the witness
stand Himself if bo carries out his tnrenut ,
nnd ho would not like to have mo ask him |
how much ha was to got for his services for i
atlfliuptliir to save Mrs. Shecdy from pun- !
Istimeut. "
" \\vil , " retorted Strode. * 'l am not , at
least , going to rccclvn ns much as you mid I
wns Saturday , tlS.xX ) . Furthermore , I hnvo
not been around to tlio newspapermen tank
ing hints of the big fco to bo received by
tlio lawyers on tbo other side , " anil he cant a
semi-humorous , soinl-siivugo look at I.uin-
bcrtson.
"I urn sorry , " said Mr. Lninbcrtion la his
wual qulotwny , "that you are notgolog to
receive as much ns 1 believed you woro. "
Or. Kvcrctt ww called. Ho testified tlmt
he wns at the Shei-iiy residence a few min
utes after the assault on Shecdy. Mrs.
Hhooily was calm nnd collected. Witness
helped dress Shcody's ' wound. Did nottliitilc
the wound serious at the time , "I wns called
tit-i o'clock" ho continued , "tho morning fol
lowing. Litter thcro was a consultation of
live physicians. 1 was present. All butono
symptom showed Unit there was evidence of
morphia poisoning Instead of concussion ot
the brain. The salient symptoms of mor
phine poisoning nro : The respiration isilov ,
pulse inoro rapid nt llrst , then slower , tha
limbs nnd organs nro paralyzed , the pupil ? of

symptoms are somewhat similar. In the
case of Mr. Sheed.v tlio pupils of the oyowero

on tbo pupils of the oyo. Tbo symptom * of
concussion of the brain are dizziness , ffico

dcncoi of concussion , The patient wu not

phia Induces natural sleep nt Ill-it
anparcntly. I participated in the autopsy.
The brain was decidedly wet , abnormally so.
This to my mind was an evidence that Jontli
was produced from nn injury to tbo brain. "
The doctor then dcscrioed the condition of
the various organs , the stomach nnd boweli
being apparently healthy , the liver en
larged , the heart showing fatty degeneracy ,
nnd a gallstone being in the gnll bladder
The description was similar to IJr. Dcach
ley's.
"I do not think , " continued the witness ,
"that the condition of his vital organs had
anything to do with bis death. Had ho been
n perfectly healthy man the blow might have
killed him. I was present at the crave April
"J when the body wns disinterred the second
time. Wo took out the hoatl , liver and
bladder. Dr. Gannett and myself took
charge of the head. The bladder
and liver were taken in chnr o
bv Prof , Haynes ot Hush moJlcnl
college , Chicago. Ho Is a general chemist
nnd lexicologist , Ho Is considered 11111011 ?
the best in the country. Dr. Gannett and I
examined the skull ar.d liriun , and found the
injurv far moro extensive than wo hail nt
ft.it i , , , , , , , , ! > l
"What in your opinion was the cause ot
Shoody's ' death ! " asked Lambcrtson.
"I think John Shccily died from morphlno
poisoning" was tlio startling reply.
"If morphine poison had not been adminis
tered , do you believe that tbo blow was sufll-
cicnt to kill ulmV
"Yos , sir , I do. "
At this astonishlngrcply every body sUrcO ,
Court then adjourned until d o'clock.
On the reconvening of court In the after
noon Dr. ICvorett wni put on the witness
stand and for nn hour and n quarter wni sub
jected to a lire of sarcasm , quizzing mid ques
tions. The effect of this cross lirr > did not af
fect the witness except to strengthen the as
sertion that the blow might have been titnl , ,
The witness did not , however , exhibit the
posltivcncss about the subject of morphlno
nolsonlni ; that was expected ,
II. P. Love was called. Ho testified : "I
was passing down In front of the Hotel Muck
on the Monday following tbo assault on John
Shecdy. I accidentally ran against Mommy
McFarland and ho said : 'Got ' out of the way
or t will servo you as I did Shecdy.1"
Strode then lost his head and fired ques
tions nt the witness almost faster than ho
could answer. His original statement was
not , however , shaken. Witness then said
that when Monday McParland thus nccosteit
him ho was coming up out of the barber
shop near the Mack hotel. Witness could not
remember the nppcnranco of the cane Me-
Farland had at the time.
Dr. Mitchell was then called. Ho testi-
lied : "I was at the SUeedy residence about
noon on the day following the assault of John
Shoedy. I was called in to help consider the
matter of trephanlng the suull. Wo came to
the conclusion that it was not host. I con
curred in that opinion.Vo could not tro-
phano the base of the brain because It is out
of reach. In my opinion the pressure wai nt
the base of the brain. A blow at
the front of the head may affect
mainly the base of the brnin. I wns present
nt the autopsy. I did not participate. I
went there merely to see whether I was cor
rect In my opinion at the tlmo of the consul
tation. "
At this time Philpot nroso nnd declared
that Dr. Holyouo , n witness , was present and
nsked that ho bo ordered out. The judge In
formed the coroner to go , and ho got.
The witness continued :
"Tho medulla oblongnta was not entirely
removed. The symptoms of compression of
ability to nrouso the patient , sometimes
there Is a slow pulse and sometimes it is fast ,
the bowels nro loose and the bladder torpid.
I hnvo no reason to bellevo that I should
change my tlrst opinion that it was compres
sion of the brain tlmt caused death. The
effects of compression of the brain nro not ]
always manifest. Sometimes the effusion or
Douriiu' out of scrum through tbo monibr.me
of the brain may not show its effects for
hours. Thcro was a fracture of the malar
Done , "
When Lambortson asked the witness why
ho was at the autopsy , Philpot , attorney for
the npjrro , objected to the answer nnd said :
" \Vbv , I was present at the autopsy my
self and I didn't take any part in it , "
Mr. Liuiibnrtson retorted : "You were
ruled out on account of incompotoney. "
A laujrh went around nt this rejoinder.
Mawhnl Mollck wnsput on the stand and
Idcntlllcd certain photographs as fair reprc-
fcntatlons of northeastern , norm western and
southern views of the Shccdy residence.
The witness was then excused , o.ft
Mr. Lnmbcrtson tnon addressed the court
anil snld that thcro wcro only two more wit
nesses to bo piU on the stand. They were
Myron Whcplor , the stenoprnphorwhotoolt
a shorthand report of the second mid third
confessions of Monday Mi'Fiirland , while the
other wns Mrs. I1 , H. Swift. Nothing wns
said about tbo introduction of I'rof. Haynes
of Chicago as a witness. Mr , Lambert-sou do-
i clnred that Mrs. ! . II. Swift and lo.r. ,
| Wheeler were not available and asked that
court bo adjourned until tomorrow mornliiR.
This raised a most decided objection from
the defense against Mrs. 1' . II. Swiftap-
pearlnp , as her name had been endorsed Pen
the Information as P. 11. Smith , Strode lln-
ally acknowledged that ho hud been to see
Airs. Swift's husband to endeavor to discover
what testimony she would produce.
Mr. Lrunbcrtsoa then remarked : "Soyou
went down to sco Mrs. Swift , did you ! " .
Strode retorted : "Paul Hrown , the croat . . -
criminal lawyer , says that the dofonsj should , I i
admit nothing , * '
" 1 think. " said Mr. Lambertson , "that ho
nlso ndjcd Ma dcspQral cases.1"
"You mean in cspojiito cases for the
prosecution , " spoke up Strode ,
Lninbortson looked at Htrodo In a fatherly
way and tno usual qulot laugh wont aroun d ,
The dofonsci then wanted to know why
Points She-dy. sr. , ami DcnnU SheoJy.jr. ,
were not to bo put on the witness stand ,
They declared tlmt they wished to put those
pcntlcmcn on the witness stand and supposed
that M tholr names were endorsed on the
back of the Information that they wcro to
npponr ns witnesses.
"If you "wish , " stilit Mr. Lambortson , "wo
will send for these gentlemen and pay tholr
faro hero so that they may nppear as ivlt-
nesses for you. ' '
Court then adjounind. I.uter it was
learned from the prosecution that 1'raf.
Hayncs was sick and unable to up near , n fact
tlmt was deeply regretted , as his examina
tion of the contents of the bladder was ono inof

CINCINNATI , 0. , May 10. The opening diy :
of the national union conference was blessed
with mild temperature. The morning hours
were occupied by the state delegations per
fecting their organization. A. foatura th\t \
has attracted some attention this morning Is
the npparcnt np.ithy of the south , the dele
gates from thnt section being few In number.
Wide interest attached to the presence
otnotif ? the delegates of an unusually Innio
number of prominent labor men , particularly
Knlphts of Labor loaders. It Is rumored
that the knights nro in active alliance with
the southern delepntes and others to prevent
the convention organizing n third party
in this tlmo. General Master Workman
Powdorly , In nn interview with the
the convention wns called to order said :
"Ills not true that either myself or the
other general olllcere or monitors of the order
here nro , ns u body , workiiii ; in nny such
way. As ft matter of fact , " continued Pow-
derly , "I am nothcrJ na a delegate to the
convention , but to attend the meeting of the
( icncral executive board of tbo Knights of
Labor , cnlled to meet hero simply that the
members of the board wished to Iteep heartily
In touch with the people wnowoulil be hero. "
The various states held a meeting nt Music
hall this morning. The nttoiuliitico was largo
mid the businnss was chiefly of n routine
character. The Ohio delegation decided In
favor of the Immediate organization of a
third party ur.il cf government loans direct
to tbo people on reasonable secur
ity , nt interest not to exceed 2
per cent per nnnuin. Almost to a man they
declared themselves , regardless ot what no
tion was taken by the national conference ,
ns bound to hnvo nt once nn Independent
state ticket In the field In Ohio.
The delegations froti MassachusettsPenn
sylvania. Tennessee , California and Louisi
ana nlso favor a third party. South Dakota
opposed the formation of n Uiird party. Of
those from ICixnsns tno majority were favor-
nblotoa new organization , but thcrovm
some opposition to any radical notion at this
time. Aboutsovonty-flvodelceatesaro proscit
from Illinois , bat us thcro was some trouble
nboutcredentials nodecislotnvns taiccn. The
Io\vu delegates , of which there nro sovontv-
llvo present , favor n new party , but are in
doubt as to Its advisability nt this time.
Prominent among the iriombors of the com
mittee on resolutions are General J. 1) ) .
Weaver of Iowa and John Seltx of Ohio.
\Vhllo the state meetings wnro In proeress
the Illinois men to the number of 10J met nnd
clouted A. J. Strcotcr chairman of the dclo-
gallon and II. K. Tan bo reck vice chairman.
Colonel S. P. Norton of Chicago , wns elected
us tlio Illinois member ot the national com
mittee.
To the inspirins strain of the "Star
Spangled llunnor1' from the great organ the
delegates took the places assigned thorn ,
Kansas and Nebraska pottliiR the most prom
inent placoi , close to the stage. Besides tbo
national colors the only decorations were the
banners of the Knights of Labor assemblies
nnd kindred traJo organizations.
At exactly 2 p. in. a conference delopato
ndvanocd to the front of the stage and ac
companied by the great organ , lead the aud
ience in singing , "My Countrv , 'Tis ot
'Ihco. "
At the conclusion of the soiiff Hov. D. T.
lstcr.of > . Cincinnati invoked the dlvlno
Mossing. The delegates repeated with him
the Lord's prayer.
Captain Power of Indiana then read the
ofllcinl call for tbo conference nnd requested
organizations therein named to rise as their
tiaineaworo called , which was done. The
appearance of each delegation was erected
with npplauso.
Chillies E. Cunningham of Arkansas was
introduced as temporary chairman , thu
formality of an election beinRdispensed\vitn.
Ilo made a fervid appeal for harmony.
An nllianeo song to the tune of "John
Brown's Body" was the next feature of the
proceeding.
W. II. Hobboof Iowa nnd G. F. Wnshburn
ot Massachusetts were inado assistant secre
taries.
The first real excitement in the convention
\vas caused by no loss u parson than Isnatlus
Donnelly of Minneapolis. Ho did It with a
harmless looking llttlo suRROsslon. Everything -
thing was sailing alone in serenity , with roll
call following roll call on the appointment of
committees , when Mr. Donnelly nroso and
moved that to save tlmo the appointment of
commlttcomen by each state be compiled in a
lump , each state naming all of Its committeemen -
men at once , Including tha member of the
nominal commlito.
Instantly there was an uproar nnd dozens
ot delegates were on their feet shouting for a
chance to strike the lint blow in the fight
fororagatnst the immediate organization of
n national third party. If Donnelly's mo
tion wns carried tbo convention was Ira.
plledly committed thereby to immediate or
ganizatlonaad all hope , of postponing such
notion wns thrown to the winds.
Striding down the aisle , his white moustache
quivering with pugnacity , ho pointed his
long arm at Connelly and hotly denounced
the latter's ' proposition ns an attempt to
pled go the convention on the sly to the most
vital action withoutono wordof dissension ,
Donnelly's ' sturdy figure , bolt upright ,
could bo seen among the Mitinesoti delega
tion , his blue eyes llashlncrvhllo \Vcavcr
stormed. The celebrated originator of ttio
Shakespenro-Baeoii cipher restrained himself
with dilliculty under the lashing of the Iowa
man nnd when Donnelly finally got a chnnco
to edge a word of reply" his smooth shaven ,
clear cut countenance was flushed with pas
sion. Ho disclaimed any Intention to take
na undue advantage.
Apaln there was nnroIonRodhubbub , cnued
nt last by the bald-headed , silver-bearded ,
genial chalrmnn , Cunnin hain , dexterously
putting oil for the tlmo being the Inevitable
struggle by declaring Donnelly's motion out
ot order.
\Vhllo the skirmish was then progressing a
few bets wcro olTorod among the spectators
that the convention would cot no further , out
would split It nt the very outset.
A motion to adjourn until 7 o'clock this
evening illd not prevail and the following
names were adopted as members of the com-
inltteo on resolutions with instructions to RO

It U understood that when the states were

The commlttco on permanent organization
tonight selected Scdator Poller for perma
nent chairman. During the mooting of the
committee a communication was sent In by
the Kansas men to 'tho effect that they had
withdrawn Pcffcr nnd desired thosolection
of Dclama'.er ' for permanent chairman , but
their action was not regarded by the com
mittcoin making their choice.
The committee on rules and order of bus

chairman of cnch delegation shall announce
the nu'nbor of porsdns in favor of a proposi

that state a decided advantage , especially on
the third party ( iuosion. (
The easy methods of the unconventional
delegates of this ronfercnco wcro ilnely

leaders of public opinion In the north , south
nndvostresponded promptly this morning
nt 10 o'clock when the doors ot the PKtoantii
street theater were opened to tha second
session of the tr.ms-MIsslsslppl . congress
Such an array of IntolllgQiicols seldom scon

duced a speedy dispatch of business nnd the
ruling outof everything that could In any
measure Interfere with the alun of tha pro-
motel's , who have only commercial tntoroHs
nt stake. That the mooting'will bo divojtod
of politics Is apparent. Acrlculturo , trans
portation and mlner.il development are the
only topics under discussion and tlio ro port
ordorof business clearly indkMtiH that no
ulterior motive is masked by tlio call for the
convention.
Uoutinobusiness occupied the day nad to
morrow the dcloffatus will bo called upon to
vote upon tlio question of permanent orjj.ini-
zation. This Is the Hrit trouble threitoned
. nnd possibly tha convention will Irrevocably
I dlvido over the question of silver.
Ex-Governor Anthony of Kans'3 was
nominated in committee for cha Irman , with
u. i > i , irerry 01 uian soconu cnoico. 'rno
former mot with strong opposition owiujr to
nn Interview In which ho is said to have used
the words , "Iain In favor of free coinages If
you only put 30 cents tuoro silver In the del
lar. " This allowed declaration arousal the
animosity of the western men und the vote
stood 7 to 7 , two delegates belntr. absent. As
no compromise could bo reached two reports
will bo submitted , nnd It is probable that
Mayor Shalcespoaro of New Orleaus may
orentmillv preside.
Mayor ShaUespenro of N'ew Orleans and a
full complement from Louisiana reached the
city nt daybreak , having boon delayed by
overflows on the ulo CJrando , which caused
thoni to rldo fifty miles with the water over
the car axlos. They brought a handsome
floral ornament six foot high , surmou nted by
udovc , as a present to the temporary chair
man. W. W. W. Helwn of Now Orleans
presented the emblem. The Crescent City
has hopes of capturing the convention for the
third session , atut is only opposed by Wich
ita , which will nmlio a hard llplit for the
coveted privilege. Soutncrn ilelesntos will
Insist upon appropriations for the Mississippi
river , nnd la return will favor tbo claims of
G.ilvcston for a deep water harbor , Tcxns is
divided apiinst itself , , Houston nsiortlnp
that Oalvcston published nn oniclnl map of
Texas and omitted it complotely. Atacon-
fcrencQ this afternoon it is said Gnlveston
offered to publicly apologize , but If thoapol-
ogv Is not forthcoming Houston will Intro
duce a scathing resolution and tbrow its
strength njainst the Island town.
On the resumption of business In thoaftcr-
noon the committee on credentials rouortod
delegates present from sixteen states and
territories with several on route To hear
from. The actual number la attendance )
could not bo ostlmfitcd owing to the brief
time allowed the committee.
A. recess of half an hour wns profitably
employed by the reception committee in dis
tributing souvenir badces. Tlicsovoro of
conventional style , suspended from a solid
clasp and embellished with n small silver
brick , the oatiro metallic decoration , being

Mayor Shakcsponro of New Orleans was
Invited to the stand for a llvo mlnutos'
speech , and amid loud cries of Insistence ho
was compelled to mount the platform. Ho
VMS received with cheorsthatworoprolonged
for "several minutes. Ho said ho haraly
thought the compliment was personal , it
was his fortune to be placed in his city to
prapplo with ono of the greatest questions of
this country. They baa ono of the most
peaceable cities in the country , certainly an
American one. [ Cheers , ] Ho was called
upon to cope with a thousand imported as
sassins whoso equal In crime could not bo
found elsewhere. 'Americans had no fear of
assassination. They were brought up that
way nnd paid no attention to Idle boasts. Ho
lott his own city in penconnd bad no appre
hensions but that It would remain so.
Bx-Uoveruor George T , Anthony of ICan-
sas snld ho did not care to talk to people who
did not want to hear him. Ho confessed em
barrassment to follow Mayor Shakespeare ,
whom ho remarked had occupied thu-thoughts
of every man , woman and child
for tlio last two months. It would
pay all to intend tbo convention
if only to hear Mr. Shakespeare. Ho could
say that Is'ew Orleans was an American city ,
So ho could say of every other city In the
United Suites. [ Cheers. ] Theory sola that
this country could contest anything thut was
wrong. Ho would say if there was anything
that lav heavy on the stomach to throw It
out. All were entitled to the fruits of cqunl-
Ity , but to pluck them they must be .Ameri
can citizens ,
Kx-Sonntor II , A. Tabor of Colorado , wns

script catered into a discussion of tbo mater
ial resources of the country from the coast ot

submit to the dictation of the middle stiles ,
Kcciprocltyof interest was demanded. Give

The government bought silver at ! ) Scents

more on account of their sroatcr production ,
The speaker clto.l statistics to sustain his
position , and closed by referring to the rapid
depredation of tarn , binds In Massachusetts
and the alleged influence ofVrall strrot in
