not OF silver alone, as that one presented
at st. Louis, but OF gold and silver-the
bi-metallic standard Of our sound fnan-

skilled labor, and teaches the lesson that
free homes, free schools and free ballot
shall be maintained in this country.
Mr.. Chas. A. Works, OF Illinois, also
presented the Convention gavel which
he said was plain tool and madeneither
OF silver nor gold, but it is connected
with great name in American history.

warmest demonstration Of the day. The
chair accepted the token in n neat
speech, in which he expressed the
thanks of the convention to the doners.
Chairman Bayne, OF the Committee
on Rules, was recognized and presented
the committees report. The report

ring to the election OF alternates, and
that that portion be recommitted.
Mr.. Butterworth, Of Ohio, moved to
amend the report of the committee by
placing a limitation OF time on the
nominating speeches.
Mr.. Bayne hoped that the gentleman
would withdraw his motion.

to the matter Of the election OF alter
mates to the National Convention.
