Cleveland. June 20.-The indications tonight
are that the silver question, far as this con-
vention is concerned. has been squelcned ior
good The Republicans OF the country have
spoken. and 1t is now a'foregone conclusion tnae
this great convention will adjourn without taxi
ing any action whatever on a subject that does
not concern II. 1t required, however, much en-
gineering and not a little parliamentary tao
tics and the best Of all Is that both parties are
claiming victory. The sound money men OK tne
East and the South. and In the West, too' Ior

action likely to mperil Republcanism mas oeen
TAKEN and the leaders In the silver states ex-
press themselves pleased because no reSolu-
ton will be introduced in the convention dis
tasteful 70 them. All this was brought about
at the meeting OF the Committee on Resolutions
this afternoon. when the report Of the sub-coni-
mittees was defeated The work OF the COM
mittee was a laborious and the resolutions
were referred to sub-committees and sub-sub-
committees and last night 1t was about settled
that the Minneapolis platform would be reaf-
frmed Finally. when a committee Of three took
hold Of the matter a long address to the people
was formulated The address charged the Demo-

the credit Of the Nation abroad and with formu'
