some length. giving the history Of silver
from the Legislature Of 1873 to the present
time. His remarks were frequently inter-
rBpted by applause. He advised the people
Of Nevada TO stand firm for silver and shake
of the shackles of the two old parties,
after which committees on credentials,
permanent organization, and platform
and order Of business were appointed on
the basis of two delegates from each county
in the State The convention then took a
recess until 3 P. NJ.
1t seems to be the sentiment Of the dele
gates from eastern counties to simply nom
mate Presidential electors, consisting OF
two Republicans and one Democrat, ana
not 10 interfere with State or county poll
tics. They VIII likely select representa-
tiyes to the Omaha and Montana conYen-
tions. which meet in July. Many OF the
delegates from the western part OF the
State are all faYOrug nominations from
Presidential electors down to Town Con-
stable. The proposition, however, VIII not
be entertained by the eastern delegates.
