treasury threatens the industries of th
country, is q constant source of injury {
the copsumer and men of moderate mean.
who find il difficult to obtain monetary q.
sistance because OF the withdrawal of
large portion of the circulating medium
This unfortunate situation is directly al
tributable to the policy of the Republica
party, whose aim has ever been to encoul
age and enrich mon poles and to iguor
the interests of the masses. During RI
publican dominaey many millions of acre
of the public domain passed into th
hands of corporate and foreign syndicates
formed for the creation of individual fol
tunes.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Whites speech
Governor Green of New Jersey, offered
resolution adopting the rules of the preced
ing convention as the rules of the presen
convention, subject to the following modi
fication: That in voting for candidates fo
President and Vice President, no State shal
be allowed TO change its vote until the rol
call of States has been made and every Stat
has cast its vote. The resolution was adopt
ed after a point of order, raised by Mr.. .Schee
walter of Missouri. that il was not in orde
until a report had been made by the com
by the chair.
Then Thomas P. Patterson, of Missouri
rose and craving the indulgence of the con
yention, in behalf Of the State of Colorado
presented to the convention gavel manu-
fectured of Colorado silver, richly chasec
and FURNISHED. 1t was. he said, modes
offering from younger member of the
federal union to that party which had re
stored silver to that high plane from which
il had been degraded by the congressional
conspiracy of 1873 and which had eve,
since remained its constant champion. Lei
the announcement be made throughout the
civilized world, through the silvery tone Of
the gavel, of the second and unanimou.
nomination OF the peoples choice for pres.
idsnt-Grover Cleveland. Loud applause.
Chairman White, in accepting the gavel
pleasantly remarked that as far as the gavel
would do it, the convention would have to
be ruled by silver. [Applause.l
The chair then recognized Senator Cor.
man, of Maryland, who presented a resolu-
ton providing that the roll OF the States BE-
called.
Mr. Raines, of New York, suggested tina!
it would be in order first to call the roll OF
the convention so that the list of delegates
could be passed over to the credentials
The chair said that the con.
vention, in adopting Senator Gorman's
would be proceeding in the
usual way and that the list of delegates

pointments.
Mr.. Pusey. of Iowa, offered resolution
providing that the Convention hall be
opened for the inspection of visiting clubs
during the recess of the Convention.
Mr.. Baker, of Ohio, offered an amend
ment directing the sergeant-at-arms to pro-
vide seats during the sessions to visiting
uniformed clubs.
The matter of admitting the uniformed

Their scheme Thwarted
ST. LOUIS, June 6.-The shrewd little
,cheme for carrying the convention into
was nicely knocked in the head
n yesterdays session. 1t had its origin
With certain members of the local commit
zee, who very correctly figured it out that
Is soon as the convention got through with
Is business the membership thereof would
ose no time in shaking the dust of the city
rom ats feet. This, of course, would mean
he loss of good many dollars, or
thousands of them, not only to
he hotels but the many other
branches of business that would
,rofit by the delegates being compelled to
pend an idle half day or so in town.
Hence il was determined to so protract the
of the convention as to bring
bout an adjournment about noon on
Thursday. The perfunctory cooperation
# Roswell p. Flower was enlisted in this
cheme, and it was arranged that he should
move recess of yesterdays meeting until
loon to-day Then to-day, after the
permanent organization had been effected
md the platform adopted, another effort
would have been made to rry over the
nomination until Thursday at ten. So far
