and the organ recital. All were delighted
with the magnificent music, and the
enthusiasm was high. Governor Thomp-
son presided. Wharton Barker addressed
the convention, urging reconciliation of
silver as the only relief for depressed in
dustries and urging that the United States
is abundantly able to undertake free coin
age unsupported by any other nation. He
read largely from mis- editorial in the Phila-
delphia American, in advocacy of free
silver coinage and of protection.

DELEGATES MEM BUSINESS.
Montana and Idaho Men Turn Out In
Great Force.
SALT LAKE, UTAH, May 15.-The dele
gates appointed from Montana form merely
part of the large number here from that
State, as the Butte Chamber of Commerce
took the matter in hand, and delegation
was sent to the city composed of able and
earnest men who know the necessity of
silver money.
In consequence the hotels are crowded
with party of men from the great mining
center who are here to work IN the inter-
ests of the white metal. The campaign
for silver, which is about to be inaugu-
rated, will have its birth in this conven-
ton, and the full delegation is solid for
Salt Lake as the headquarters of the move
ment.
In an interview with the Tribune this
morning. Governor Mcconnell of Idaho
said:
TOW he -
ton for thorough work, and believe the
headquarters of the organization should be
here in Salt Lake City"
w. E. Boral of Idaho, w. NJ. Bickford of
Montana, Congressman Shafroth of Colo
RADIO and Thomas G. Merrill of Montana,
the latter being the father of the move
ment, all expressed the same idea as re-
CARDS the permanent campaign and the
sentiment expressed to-day by many OF
the delegates is to the effect that such a
campaign is about to be inaugurated and
| that the West generally will favor the
question.
The CALL correspondent held an inter
view with one of the Utah delegates to-
night, prominent Democrat and one OF
the largest mine-owners here, who said
that even though the work of the conven-
ton had not as yet begun, he was sure that
it would be most profitable thing for the
industry of the West.
One thing was to be worked for, the free
coinage of silver, and he felt sure that the
resolutions to be passed would not be weak
ones, but would prove to be of the most
stirring acter, as BELTS the crisis at
hand.
The Knights of the Mystic Shrine gave
an elaborate banquet tonight, at which
many of the distinguished visitors were
present. Governor Mcconnell is great
| noble and his wit on these occasions is far
| famed. Nothing has been left undone by
the citizens to roy ally entertain the dele
gates and the hours between sessions will
| be spent at Saltair.
General Penrose gives a review of his
command on Friday at Fort Douglas and
the most elaborate arrangements are in
| hand for the banquet at the Knutsford on
| Friday evening.
