lance. But the senator from New Jcr-
sey POSSIBLY having slept on the mat
teri announced that he was prepared TO
withdraw his objection and that he
would interpose no obstacle or delay 10
the action OF the senate. Even after
that IL looked for an hour or more rs II
there was 10 be a postponemcnt OF the
subject for at least another week. but
finally after good deal OF discussion
all preliminary obstacles were swept
away and the vote was taken on Mr.
Dolph's motion TO reconmit the bill 10
the senate committee on finance.
Friends and enemies Of the measure
were willing TO make that vote test
Of their relative strength and the de-
cision was in favor Of the friends OF
silver. On all other votes that came
after victory was still on the same side
and finally the bill was passed by a
majority OF four votes.
After the transaction Of some unim-
portant business the presiding officer at
p m laid the silver bill before the
senate and after considerable discussion
as 10 the agreement made for vote

amendment his substitute providing for
the free coinage Of silver bullion under
the terms Of the act Of 1878, excepting
foreign coin silver, and repeating the
law Of 1890.
Mr. Vest moved 10 strike out the pro-
viso as 10 foreign coins, and Mr.. Stew

OMAHA, Neb. July 5.-Delegates were

final information as 10 the possibility

The first actual business was the
reading by Chairman Branch Of the

to the platform. The immigration
plank and anti-Pinherton plank were
loudly cheered.
When the first paragraph, that relat-
ing 10 the elections bill and the Austral-
ian ballot system, was read a delegate
moved TO lay il on the table. They al
ready had the St Louis platform, he
said. His motion got second, but was
beaten most decisively on vote, nearly
the whole convention voting no.
As soon as the reading was finished
Branch moved it's adoption. The mo-
ton was promptly seconded and it was
adopted before some protestants could
get bearing. They protested Rgaiust

70 their own ranks, and with almost
one accord selected the veteran green
hacker as their standard bearer.
There were some who feared his
greenback predictions might affect
his availability, and IL was these gen.
tlemen who brought Mr.. Kyle, Of South
Dakota, TO the front.
But the sentiment that one Of the old
guard should be selected to lead the old
party was overwhelming and Weaver's
triumph was finally most complete.
Indeed, the failure Of the Gresham
movement reacted promptly and power
fully in Weavers favor
The friends Of the Iowan have con-
tended for several days that those who
persisted in booming Gresham after his
practical refusal to be q candidate were
actuated solely by a desire TO defeat
Weaver, and when the Gresham move
ment finally collapsed IL lent the color
of truth to this assertion and made the
waverers turn unanimously TO Weaver.
The candidacy of Kyle was effective
only in humiliating the South Dakota
friends of the senator. His own state
delegation has always insisted that
hylt WIS HOL u anu Iilt btll-
ator himself telegraphed that he did
not desire his name to be presented to
the convention.
Despite this, however, the anti
Weaver men, in the flush of their first
ephemeral success, wired Kyle that he
was the conventions choice, and that
harmony demanded his nomination, and
thus finally succeeded in getting a state
ment from the senator that II his nomi-
nation was demanded by the conven-
ton in the interest of harmony he sup
posed he could not decline.
Upon this conditional assent the anti
Weaver men placed Kyle in nomination
and made n strenuous attempt 10 carry
the convention, but even the eloquence
of popular Bob Schilling was insuffici-
ent TO stem the Weaver tide, which had
been swelled to sudden reaction in
favor of the "Old Guard"
