DENVER. Nov. 14.-As the silver convsa.
tion progresses it increases In interest. The
delegates keep pouring In and 1t ID nov.
city to see people Of all political faiths
working hand in hand on any psrticulsr
question. Free and unlimited coinage In
the war cry OF the Republicans, Democrats
and Prohibitionists. The fact that the
people OF st. Louis saw fit TO take the ini-
tiative in this move has worked to its
good in that resolutions were adopted to-
day favoring that place for the worlds
Lair. Another resolution adopted recon-
| mends that congress provid.s for the COIN
| age OF at least four million dollars OF silver
each month. Judge Symes and several
| ether gentlemen have made ELOQUENT
speeches. It is not likely the convention
| will conclude its labors before Tomorrow
| night.
The silver convention adjourned this
afternoon. The only business done waa
the adoption OF seriee OF resolutions.
Over some OF them there was considerable
wransling, but finally they were uaani-
mously agreed upon.
In the afternoon permanent or9anisa-
tion was formed, which will be known in
the future ss the Colorado Silver sssocia-
tion. Hon. Il. A. w. Tabor was made
president and q vice president was chessn
from each county in the state. The pre-
amble preceding the resolutions goes on to
OF ate that 1t is the opinion OF the people
that the demonstration Of silver sixteen
years ago by this country and foreign
powers, was tho result of conspiracy Of
the few against the many, OF the ere iitor
class against the debtor class, OF the con.
sumers against the producers; OF the idlsrs
against the workers. That since the time
mentioned the period has been marked BY
the constantly declinins prices Of
the staple commodities and OF ell
the products OF the farm and
shop, and also taking from the producers
80 per cent. OF their gross productions.
That this condition OF things has now been
definitely traced by the most capable and
reliable observers Of the world to the de-
struction OF more than one-hali OF it's
standard money, thereby increasing the
use OF and demand for gold. That the
efforts to remedy the ill.timed action have
been met with predictions OF evil to ths
people and to the nation.
The declarations are in substance that
the time has fully come when q restoration
must be ma .e and that this can only bs
done by restoring the system OF metal
money coinage In effect prior to 1873,
which in the past has proved 90 beneficial.
That congress, upon it's assembling, pass
an act for the reconciliation Of silver,
and FOR the free and unlimited coinage OF
the same. That until surh time de-
mand is made for the coinage OF $4,000
600 per month, in accordance with the
Bland bill. That the time has arrived
when the United States can lead the way
in the matter OF free and unlimited coinage.
that nv q n Hninu IL will inCeoo khA
prosperity OF its people. That the present
s:ringency OF tire money market, In connec-
tion with tbs low price for f.l the products
OF labor, is convincing evidence that the
money value has not expanded with the
increase in population. That the people
generally insist upon the enforcement OF
these just demands.
