ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Oct. 5.-The last day
ofthe panIAmerican bimetallic conven.
tion opened with the committee on
resolutions presenting supplemental
report unfavorably passing upon a
proposition by Warren to take action
looking to endorsement Of the removal
of the national capital further West;
also favoring the printing and cireu-
lating of the addresses of yesterday by
Walter NJ. Allen, of Kansas, upon the
exemption clause of the silver law.
The report was admitted without dis
sent. The question came then upon
the adoption of the report of the reso-
lutions committee.
Delegate Waterbury, of Kansas,
moved the amendment Of the report
by the addition of 3 proposition pre-
sented by Taylor, of Maine, favoring
the increase Of volume Of currency
by the issue Of legal tender to be Sc
cured by land values. Upon this mo-
ton Delegate Cochrane, of Missouri,
took the floor in opposition to say or
do anything in this convention upon
the money question other than to fully
and entirely endorse the free coinage
of silver. Taylor replied in defence of
his proposition urging that money
based upon such security was as safe
as the money based upon the honor Of
our government, as are S34s, 900, 900 of
greenbacks. Delegate Waterbury, of
Kansas, upon basis of $571 per capita
public and private debt, pleaded for an
increase of the volume of our currency
| with which to meet it by the means
proposed in the minority report.
For the majority of the committee
on resolutions, Governor Tillman, Of
South Carolina, spoke briefly, declaring
that it was the desire of his committee
to concentrate the efforts of the con-
vention upon the central purpose Of
bimetallism and for that reason it
seemed to them unwise to ask more
now, no matter how alluring the pros.
pect.
Governor Waite, Of Colorado, begged
the convention not to be diverted from
the one great issue.
Until the success of bimetallism
showed Wall street to have lost its
grip upon legislation it was impossible
to secure any other form Of financial
legislation. AS to the West and South
they could control the policies of tho
country if it became necessary. He
declared his belief that there were mil
lions Of money now in Washington
with which to buy Congress, and with
such a condition the South and West
must unite.
Delegate Manning, Of Alabama, de-
clared that the traditions Of the South
were for uniou with the West in the
battle for the free coinage Of silver,
but pleaded for the exclusion ofe
traneous matter from the platform as 9
diversion Of the purpose of the conven-
ton.
Delegate Kaggs, of the same State,
spoke in similar strain, also denounc-
ing the President as an enemy and be-
trayer of the people. Delegates Tay-
lor, Waterbury and Waite withdrew
the minority report, when, with g
motion to adopt the majority report
pending, the convention adjourned
until 2 p. nj.
At the afternoon session the report
Of the conclusions Of the committee on
resolutians was offered providing in
| the event of the failure Of Congress to
provide adequately for the use Of
silver as money for the calling of
a national convention in January,
1894, under the auspices Of the
the Governors of Missouri, South Caro-
lima, Kansas and Colorado, including
delegates from every State and terri
tory and labor and agricultural organ
izations, to take action for thorough
agitation Of the question before an
other election.
Pending action upon this the regu-
lar order was called for and S. S.
King of Kansas City, speaking to the
sixth clause of the resolution, repre-
sented the doings Of the recent gulf
transportation conference at Chicago
and pleaded for new route to the
old world, as relief from the CONNER
cial tyranny of New York and Chi
cago, as he said.
Governor Tillman, of South Carolina,
then took the floor to close the debate
upon the resolutions report. He de-
clared the financial question presented
but another form of slavery. AS to the
sections, every section had and would
vote as it's interests demand. AS to
this be was not uneasy, but he was as
to the adhesion to party making 80
many men forget that others have
rights. Touching again upon section
alism and reconstruction, he declared
himself Hamburg rioter and asked
what made him so. It was Negro
| domination. The end justifes the
means. He had no apologies to make
for attempts to secure honest govern
meet by honest men unawed by the
bayonets of Grants soldiers. Coming
once more to the present, he took up
the statistics to show that West and
South could control the presidency and
said the West was within nine of q
