AFTERNOON SESSION.
Old Blood to the Brides" Waite
Receives q Great Ovation.

There was tremendous applause when
Gov. Waite, of Colorado, was intro
duced. A number of enthusiastic dele
gates had been bowling for two days
for Waite, and when the chief executive
of the centennial state mounted the
platform, their cup of joy was overflow
ing. Cheer after cheer was given by
delegates, who stood up and waived
their hats wildly, and the ovation
terminated with three cheers for Gov.
Waite"
Gov. Waite spoke at great length. He
asserted that since 1878 no congress has
convened but that majority in both
houses were in favor of restoring the
free coinage of silver. Congress never
has been able to enact such law. be-
cause the president, whether Repub-
lican or Democrat. has always been
dominated by Wall street, and stood
ready to interpose his veto, equal to
two-thirds vote in both houses of con-
gress. The effect of the gold bug con-
splracy which has denied free coinage
OF silver since 1878 has been to

ANOTHER DOCTOR
Proposes a Measure Of Relief for
the Country.

CLEVELAND, o., Aug. 2. Hon.
Thomas T. Johnson has laid before the
chamber of commerce bill designed to
afford prompt and adequate relief from
the financial pressure, which he states
lie Will introduce in congress during the
first day of the session. The bill pro-
videS that any holder of bonds of the
United States may, after the passage of
this act, deposit such bonds at the
treasury of the United States
or at the Office of any assistant
treasurer of the United States and
receive therefor their face value
in treasury notes of the United States
as described in the act of July IA, 1890
Such bonds shall be held as a special
deposit to the credit of the party depOS
iting them, and during the time they
are so held shall draw no interest, and
shall be returned on the order of the
Iarty depositing them on the payment
of their face value in United States
currency.
The secretary of the treasury shall
make such regulations as may be neces-
sary TO save the government the pay
ment of interest on such bonds during
the time they are held as a special de-
pOsit, and he is hereby authorized to
issue treasury notes to the amount
needed and provide for the cancellation
of an equal amount of such notes on
the return of said bonds to their
owners.
In explanation of the benefits from the
passage of tile act, MIR. johnson says:
"The main and pressing difficulty now
is the scarcity of the medium of eX-
change.
"rEe repeal of the Sherman act, which
l confidently anticipate, while it will
allay fears of any change in the meas
ure of values, will do nothing directly
to increase the medium of exchange.
On the contrary, by stopping the issue
of treasury notes for silver, it will
lessen the supply. The only measure
looking to relief OF the need for
money yet proposed with any hope
of the necessary consent is
that of permitting the national
banks to extend their issue to the face
value of their deposited bonds. But
this, while certain to arouse dispute and
consequently cause delay, would in
crease the currency only some sl7,-
oOO.OOO. The bill send you. allowing
all holders of United States bonds to
turn them into money for such time as
they may be willing to forego interest,
offers simple, safe. immediate and
sufficient remedy for the abnormal scar
city of money. Beyond the bonds de
posted to secure the national bank cir
culatiOn, there are in existence $780,
600, 600 government bonds, largely held
! by financial Institutions"
