DO so. He did not receive any applause from

the election or a solid white delega-

without announcing his withdrawal. IL Was
then noised about that the machine had de
cided that WaddHl was 10 be elected under
all circumstances N order TO secure two white
delegates.
John Anderson. of Jackson ward, supported
the nomination of Judge Waddill lie
claimed that the counties had failed to sup
port the city # Richmond in the choice Of
John j. Mitchell, whom the people had de-
clded on rs their preference and inasmuch as
the county delegates had not stood by their

THERE is very little foundation to the
gossip among delegates from silver
states that they will throw the support
of these states to the peoples party i n
case the democratic convention should
not give heed to silver interests.
Whether the convention adopts a silver
plank satisfactory to the people in this
section or not, it is certain that no dele
gate or sets of delegates have authority
for saying that they can throw the votes
of the people whom they represent.

her terrible claws. Mr.. Coe saw the dan
