Although White requested by way of
preface that during the delivery of his
speech the convention should preserve
silence, he was frequently
INTERRUPTED BY APPLAUSE
and once or twice was compelled to stop
until the applause died away. He
spoke with distinctness and could be
heard all over the hall. When he
mentioned the name of President Cleve-
land, the convention arose to it's feet
with waving hats and floating handker-
chiefs cheered for several seconds. The
mention of tax reform was also cheered
and at the close of the address the
speaker was again applauded. Curl.
ousiy enough the reference of the
speech to Tilden failed to arouse any
| marked enthusiasm and none of the
New York delegation applauded the
mention of that once inspiring name.
At the conclusion of Whites speech
Governor Green. of New Jersey. offered
a resolution adopting the rules of the
preceding convention as the rules of the
present convention, subject 10 the
| following modification that in voting
for candidates for President and
Vice President, no State shall be al
lowed to change its vote until
the roll call of the States has been
made. and every State cast It's vote.
Then Thomas NJ. Patterson, OF
! Colorado, rose and craving the indul-
genee of the convention in behalf of the
State of Colorado presented to the con-
vention
A GAvEL MANUFACTURED OF COLORADO

he said, a modest offering from the
younger member of tie Federal Union,
to that party which had restored silver

been degraded by the congressional
conspiracy of 1873, and which had ever
since remained its constant champion.
Let the announcement be made

the silvery tone of the gavel of the
second and unanimous nomination of

The chairman received this
handsome present which was
handed up in a blue plush case.
In receiving it he said: This present
shall be deemed to be accepted, unless
there is objection. There is none, there
fore it Is accepted, and now that we
have agreed to this, beg to announce
to The convention that so far as this
gavel can do it, this body will be gov
erned by silver"
The Chair then recognized Senator
German. of MARYLAND, who presented
a resolution providing that the roll of
States be called, and that each State
name a member OF the committee on
credentials, member of the commit
tee on permanent organization, and q
member of the committee on resolu-
tons, and that all resolutions relating
to the platform be referred to the COM
mittes on resoluti tons, without debate.
Raines, of New York, suggested that
it would be in order first to call the roll
of the convention, 10 that the list of
delegates could be passed over to the
credentials committee. The chair said
the convention, in adopting Senator
Germans resolution, would be pro
ceeding in the usual way, and the list
of delegates would be handed to the
committee in proper time.
The resolution was adopted, and the
States announced their committee
representatives. When the name of
David Turpie, of Indiana. was called
to represent that State upon the COM
mittee on resolutions, there was burst
of applause. which was. however,
eclipsed by the cheers which greeted

was a contest in the Dakota delegation,
the only contest before the convention,
he would move that Dakota delegates
be excluded from any participation in
the conventions proceedings until the
