Patterson Tells the History of the Overthrow
of SHver.


CHICAGO, June 23.-The story from the
inside of the struggle in the platform
committee on silver was told tonight by
Thomas NJ. Patterson of Denver. He said
that for a long time argument was
waged upon the question whether or not
to use the obnoxious word free"
Mcpherson, Villas and Bayard asserted that
it added nothing to the force of the resolu-
tion, which they maintained did declare for
free bimetallic coinage. The free-coin-
age men asked, if such was the case,
why did they object to use it? And it
was replied that "free" was catch
word which, as applied to coinage,
was offensive to thousands in the Eastern
and Northwestern States, and that il would
lose the party votes without being sufficient
to accomplish the result desired. When the
point was made it was proposed to strike
out the obnoxious word and use the words
''for the holders In its stead. after the
words both gold and silver" but this
was opposed with equal determination.
THE controversy made il clear" said Pat
terson, that our opponents would cOneede
almost anything but a clear declaration for
free coinage, or the use OF language that
necessarily meant the same thing.
We pointed out TO them that England
has bimetallisn, in that it has
both gold and silver as money; that we
have bimetallism in the United States To-
day because we have gold and silver dol
laars coined by the Government but
there was free coinage of gold and
not OF silver. That was where the
subcommittee stalled. Three hours were
devoted to the fight over that little
word free but our opponent defeated u.s.
The controversy in the full committee, ="

appeals Tor harmony IN the party by keep
ing out the obnoxious word, and equally
earnest appeals on our part for clear rec

SILVER MEN IN REVOLT.
A Manifesto Issued by the Colorado Dele
gudoH

CHICAGO, June 23.-To-night, after the
adjournment OF the national convention,
the following significant document was
framed and wired to the West: To the
Democratic voters of Colorado: The nomi-
nation or Grover Cleveland and the palpa-
bly, eyasive declarations upon the silver
question by the national Democratic Con-
vention confront the Democratic party OF
Colorado with serious problem. If the con-
vention had declared that free bimetallie coin
age was tenet of the party, aud If Cleve-
land had accepted anominatlon upon such
platform. we might have rested upon his
reputation for honesty, and have believed
he would, in response to the obligations
thereby imposed, sign free-coinage bill
should Congress pass one. But with plat
form intended to be quoted in the East as
not binding the party in any degree to free
coinage, and in the West as being favorable
to it, and with a candidate for the Presl-
dency whose past utterances and Official
acts show him to be unalterably opposed to
free coinage. it is plain that with
Mr. Cleveland as the President,
