will send to Halifax far greater army

When ne had finished, J. Cook, Jr,
with f1iculty got the floor; his first
sentence created a furor and the con-
vsntior seemed disposed TO hoo: him
down. He said: ave are liable to do
tie things Wa may regret. | appeal to
you as men not TO do today what you
wilt regret tomorrow; We are excited, we
hardly kuog what We are doing (Nc, no,
cried the audience); let us be reasonable
and ect as INTELLIGENT men. We are 60
ing east as men to educate men in the
east. Ii we fail, then is the time to act.
There is time enough to talk as you feel
now.'
Then the convention went wild again,
aud cries of "We know what we are do
ing" ""You are a gold bug" we're heard.
Mr.. Cook concluded his remarks with
heroic effort to secure moderation, but
it was apparent he had made no impress
sion upol his audience.
1t was then moved that the conven-
ton endOr q the remarks of Governor
Waite. The motion was carried amid
the greatest enthusiasm.
A communication was then presented
from leading bankers and smelter men,
by which they contributed $1,000 in be-
half of the Denver Clearing House as
socIation toward the expenses of suita-
BILE delegates to represent Colorado at
ST. LOUIS, Washington or other places.
as the convention deems best. the check
was accompanied by the following com
municatIon:
ave wish to add our voice to your
sentiments, because our welfare depends
greatly on the prosperity OF the trans
Mississippi states. We favor the use of
silver as money and that it be freely
coined With gold at the present ratio of
sixteen to one, without discrimination
in favor or against either metal"
The convention then adjourned until

A telegram from Breckenridge was
read, stating that body of Summit
county miners had taken possession %
the placers near Breckenridge and would
turn the Blue river in upon the placer
grounds. The miners are willing to pay
a reasonable royalty for the I SO of the

Tonight meeting was held at the
Broadway theatsr, at which Rev. Myron
Reed and President A Andrews of Browns
university spoke. Tne latter's remarks
were: ''Tbe Brussels Conference"
A PREACHER ON SILVER.
The lev. Myron Rsed was the first
speaker. To report such man is i'm
possible, only sentences can be used as
ga example:
1--WE can remonetize silver and no rich
man will miss a meal. | cannot say
that of the poor man. / am peaceful
man, but am tired of being tricked, a
thing which has been going on since
the days of Moses. 1t Is time for the
common people TO come II the front.
There is a conspiracy on foot-much
like the burglar and the circus-people
go to see the show and when they come

our delegates in congress should return
to us unfaithful to our interests do not
hang them. L am opposed to that.
Just soak them in Standard Oil and
burn them.
"Ladies and gentlemen, you have paid
me great compliment by listening to
me, sky pilot, on an earthly theme"
After being introduced and passing a
handsome compliment to the Rev
Myron Reed, President Andrews, of
Brown university, aud member of the
