st. Louis, Oct. 5.-The last day of
the Pan-American bimetallic conven-
ton opened an hour late, but with
purpose to complete the work with
out further delay.
The committee on resolutions pre-
scented a supplemental report, unfavor-
bly, passing upon the proposition of
Thomas Warren to take action look
! ing to the endorsement of the re-
moval of the national capital further
west; also favoring the printing and
circulation of the address of yester-
day by Walter N Allen, of Kansas,
upon the exception clause" of the
silver law. The report was adopted
without dissent
adoption of the report of the resolu-
ton committee.
Delegate Waterbury. of Kansas.
moved an amendment TO the report
by the addition of the proposition pre-
scented by H NJ Taylor. of Mexico,
favOring an increase of the volume of
currency by the issue of legal tender
notes secured by land values
Delegate Cochrane, of Missouri OPP
posed all efforts to say or do any
thing in the convention upon the
money question other than to
fully and entirely endorse the free
coinage of silver.
NJ H Taylor, of Mexico. replied in
| defense of his proposition, urging
| that money based upon such security
was as safe as money based upon the
honor of our government, as are
S346 100000 in greenbacks.
| Delegate Waterbury, upon the text
S51 per capita public and private
debt, pleaded for an increase of the
volume of currency with which TO
meet it by the means proposed in the
minority report.
For the majority of the committee
on resolutions. Governor Tfllman. of
South Carolina, spoke briefly, de-
ciar1ng it was the desire that his
committee concentrate the efforts Of
the convention upon the central .pur-
pose of bimetallism, and for that
reason it seemed to them unwise to
seek more now, no matter how al
Turing the prospect
Governor Waite, of Colorado.
begged the convention not to be di-
verified from the one great issue, un-
vi the success of binetaIlism showed
Wall street to have lost its grip upon
legislation. 1t was impossible to Sc
cure any other form of financial leg
lslation. AS to the west and the
south, they could control the politics
OF the country If it became neces-
sary. He declared that in his be-
lief, there were millions of money
now in Washington to buy Congress
and with such a condition, the south
, and west must unite.
Delegate Manning, of Alabama. de-
elared the readiness of the south for
a union with the west in battle for
the free coinage of silver. but
pleaded for the prevention of the adj
dition of extraneous matter to the
platform, as diversion of the mr.
pose of the convention
Delegate Skaggs, of Alabama.
spoke in similar strain. also de-
enemy and betrayer of the people.
Delegates Taylor. Waterbury and
Waite withdrew the minority report.
Then, with the motion to adopt the
majority report pending the conven-
ton adjourned to 2 D. m
At the afternoon session. S. s.
King of Kansas City, presented the
report of the doings of the recent
Gulf Transportation conference at
Chicago, and pleaded for a new route
to the old world as a relief from the
commercial tyranny lof New York
and Chicago, as he said.
Gov. Tillman. of South Carolina.
then took the floor. He declared the
financial question as presented was
but another slavery-white slavery.
AS to sectionaism, every section had
and would vote as it's interests de-
manded. He declared himself
Hamburg rioter, and said the negro
domination made him so. He had no
apologies to make for attempts to
secure honest government by honest
men unawed by the bayonets of
q Grants soldiers. He cited statistics
r to show that the west and the south
= could control the president and the
g Senate and within nine of ma
: jOrity of the House, and those men
. could be picked up east of the Mis-
!; sissippi. Would the wese meet the
south?
e Governor Lewelling answered:
: What would the governor of
S South Carolina ask? Had OF Kan
: sas sent ex-Confederates to Con-
branch Of peace? Was it not a
sufficient pledge that the old issue
: was dead, the bloody chasm crossed
e and the west prepared TO do her
part?"
! AS Governor Lewelling closed. Gov
: ernor Tillnan rose, and the two gov
q errors grasped hands on a common
platform amid cheers, which sub
sided only when the convention had
exhausted itself.
With the cessation of the cheers.
> the question was put on the majority
e report of the committee on resolu-
/, tons. and it was adopted unani-
: mously in the form telegraphed last
4 night.
The resolution providing for the
: call of national silver convention
:. in January was withdrawn and after
! the transaction of some minor bust
:, ness the convention adjourned sine
!, die, having first provided for calling
I another convention, if deemed nee
, essary, by the president and secre-
:. tary of the Pan-American Bimet-
