reported on. This was carried, and the
committee retired behind the stage.
The cry now went up for Henry ,
Henry !" Mr.. Henry gradually arose
from his seat on the right just below the
middle of the hall. His coat was still
buttoned, with a 16 to / badge on its
right lapel. Mr.. Henry at once plunged
into the subject weaving chaplets of rhe-
toric about his silver utterances like that
about the head of liberty on the silver
dollar. Mr.. Henry was cleaned shaved.
Mr.. Henry called for anybody to show a
gold-piece. nobody showed. Then he
asked how is it possible to drive gold out
of circulation when it amt in circula
ton? Mr.. Henry's voice had been
bruised somewhat by running up
against those small boys in Charlotte
but bis gestures were graceful. specially
that one with the right hand as it touches
the heart with the fnger-tips and waves
outward like flag gently lifted by the
breeze
Kitchen was called for, and upon re-
peated calls he arose and said as it was
nearly time for the committee to report
he ought not to speak, as he could not
make short speech. He was sorry to
see the Democrats so tenderfooted,
though it might be well to be watchful
of party leaders. Capt. Kitchen was
disposed to agree with Capt. Cooke
because he said the Democrats
might couple something with free
silver that he could not sup
port, and the Populists might do the
same thing with regard to Democrats
He hated National Banks more than he
did goldism.
The committee here came in and after
few more words Capt. Kitchin sat
down, his remarks having been much
enjoyed.
Mr.. Spier Whitaker said the committee
reported favorably as to the resolutions
and adversely as to the amendment by
Capt Cooke The chairman put the
amendment, which was lost, the chair
man saying 1.-THE noes have it by

Resolved, That the plain and only
way to put an end to the evils of gold
monometallism is to open the minis of
this country to the free and unlimited
coinage of silver, as they are now open
to gold, and we demand that this shall
be done at the long established ratio Of
sixteen to one, and that this country
shall act at once, independently of all
other countries.
Resolved That we hail with salts
faction the indisputable evidence Of re-
turning reason among business mel,
and applaud the demand which enlight-
ened and patriotic men are making that
the selfish policy inaugurated by cupid
ity and avarice twenty years ago shall
now be reversed in the interest of hon
esty and fair dealing, and in order that
commerce and agriculture may be re-
stored to normal and prosperous con
diti0ns.
"Resolyed, That ardently attached to
the great cause of free coinage we pro-
pose to advance it by all means within
our power, and We call on all bi-metal-
lists to strenuously oppose gold mono
metallism, and exert all their influence
to restore silver to its former use as a
perfect money metal, as it was before
1873.
''To this end it is earnestly recon-
mended to the voters of this State that
they elect hereafter only such Senators
and Representatives in the United States
as are sincerely in favor of the principles
herelnbefore expressed, and only such
presidential electors as will publicly de-
clare on the stump that they will vote
for no man for President or Vice Presi-
dent who is not in favor of such princi-
Piles, and whose record and platform are
a guarantee that they will be faithfully
executed.
"Resolved, That we do earnestly re-
quest all the friends and advocates of
the restoration of the coinage laws as
they existed prior 10 1878 to call non
partisan conventions similar to this in
their several States to take similar &C
ton"
While Mr.. Beckwith was reading the
resolutions, all listened with almost alb
solute silence, so intent was the con
vention. W. J. Peele sat by Senator
Butler on the LETT front row with Rev.
Meacham on his right.
Bailey of North Carolina was measur-
ing lis height against the post at the
foot of the middle aisle with silver
streak down the middle Of his hair, and
a red rose on his left lapel.
Mr.. Beckwith had finished.
Mr.. Spier Whitaker rose to speak to the
resolutions. He said there came times
when all should come together on great
questions regardless of party He out
lined the history of the call for this con-
vention, and gradually warmed up so
with his theme, that the customary
icicles began to fall offahis breath, and
his utterance began to sound like that of
the out-and-out convention speaker
Mr.. Whitaker said it would not do

So the delegates kept coming into Me-
tropolitan Hall, gathering like the silver
clouds, whether for storm and discord,
showers and harmony, drift and indie
cision, no one distinctly knew. =
So that In the city the Convention was
regarded in three lights.
First, Fear of Discord.
Second, Hope Of Harmony.
Third, Disbelief In any good result.
By 1870, the Hall was not yet one
third full, but many of the bigger silver
clouds had drifted in. First Chief
Rain in the face Kitchin, sitting mid
way on the left from the stage, with bis
nose clean cut as wheat scythe over
chin and upper lip that had been but
lately harvested of its Halifax
crop of whiskers. Harry Skinner
appeared at the left door wiping off his
chin with his thumb and left index fin
ger. Senator Westmoreland, one of the
Committee of Nine, sat on the middle
aisle on the left, his goatinas sunburnt red
with honest toll. Chambers Smith burst in
at the bottom of the middle aisle like a
towards the great sea of financial pros
perity. There is peculiar information
about the voice of Mr.. Ed. Chambers
Smith that sounds like the dropping of
silver dollar against golden floor.
Mr.. Butler went out and came in again
with Senator Fowler trailing behind
down the left aisle. On the right, half
way back sat VIM. A. Guthrie of Dur
ham, who wasn't present at the confer
ence in Spier Whitaker's office Wednes-
Gay morning.
The hall was now two thirds full, when
Ed Chambers Smith flowed noiselessly
down the side aisle, with eyes of silver,
and in few moments to make heard a
voice of silver He was applauded all
the way down the aisle, and mounted
the platform with considerable grace,
elegance and effect Mr.. Smith very
quietly and succinctly gave the history
of the movement leading to this conven-
ton in very brief way, and with fit
words introduced as temporary chair
man Judge James @. MacRae.
When Mr.. Smith retired TO the rear OF
the stage, the people for the first time
wanted an answer to the question OF
Rev. ID. +. Meacham, a Wake county
Populst, which he sent to the reporters
table, as follows: where is the daddy
OF this child2"
The daddy" had appeared, acknowl
edged his daddyship, and was followed
by Judge MacRae in a stirring speech
not long, cautiously, but strongly anC
periodically worded, yet not departing
from the landmarks laid down by Demo
cratic lines.
Judge MacRae's remarks were received
with applause, when Senator Marion
Butler, rising nominated Judge MacRa
as permanent chairman, which was car
ried unanimously.
Mr.. A j Conner recommended OF
the part of the committee, as secretarie

people to the evils merely, without giving
them a remedy. Therefore, the recon-
mendation was made that no vote be
cast for Congressman, Senators, Presi-
dent, or Vice-President, unless they were
for the free, unlimited and Independent
coinage Of silver, We did not come here
to talk; we came here to act. We
want to tell the people that we do
not propose to talk for silver
and then vote for those who advocate
gold. This was received with great ap-
plause Mr. Whitaker quoted Mr. Jar
Wis as saying that this question of silver
was above party; quoted him, moreover,
as saying that if his party went against
the interest of the country, he would go
against his party.

BUFFERS AMENDMENT ADOPTED

Charles MI. Cooke introduced an
Amendment Excluding From the
Campaign all Financial Issues Ex-
cent SiIver--This was Referred to
Committee, Reported Adversely and
Lost--Te Resolutions Then Carried
and the Convention Adjourned.
For ten days the sky has been blue,
but blue as barren of GOODNESS and
breeze as the Great Sahara. Yesterday
morning there was a fringe of drifting
clouds around the outskirts of the city;
they were silver clouds. They looked as
if they might bring storm in the after
noon, or gentle shower or might pass
over frivolously and without effect like
drifting clouds do some times. At any
rate they were silver clouds, and were
gathered for pow-wow, let the result OF
the afternoon be what it might.
And Yesterday morning at 11:15 the
delegates to the Silver Convention called
here for the 25th, with an invitation to
all who verify and truly believed in tree
silver Is to /, began to loiter into Metro
politan Hall seemingly Us purposeless as
the silver clouds, but yet if proper con
ditions prevailed as purposeful as the sill
yer clouds.
And yet some fea;ed storms, some
feared resultless coming together;
some feared mere fasco of passing
in and out of the city of people who, if
they knew what they wanted, did not
know how to get it.
At all events, the bulk of the citizens
of this State, knowing of this meeting
from afar, wished that the silver clouds
might come together as GASES inthis Sep
TENDER Sahara sky, and that the silver
delegates might work together with har-
mony that would bring help to the
drought stricken purses of those who
get their meat by the sweat of the
brow.
For in North Carolina, the baked hills
are thirsting for rain.
An2 the oppressed people are yearn-
ing for silver.

Councilman Cox reminds The HERALD
that there is city ordinance against the
planting Of Lombardy poplar trees on
public streets. As one hall OF q recent
shipment to this city for free distribution
are Lombardy poplars. parents would do
well to see that their children keep aay OF
such varities off public thoroughfares-
as their planting would be violation OF
the law, 1t is unwise, for OF her reasons,
to plant poplars in private yards. Fruit
men claim them to be full OF aphis, and
maintain that it is hard enough work to
keep always spraying orchards, without
allowing infected shade trees to be plant
ed. Walla Walla long ago condemned
the Lombardy poplar. That is, perhaps,
the reason they have been given away
here in Yakima. 1t may be well not to
plant any of these shade trees; because
it is within the province of the state pest
inspector to condemn them, il found at
all injected, subject the planter to fine
and order the trees cut down. Tree plant
ers should remember that the orchards Of
this valley must be protected, and that /,
is punishable misdemeanor to set oui
insect infected shrubs or trees.

The new weapons OF warfare are be.
coming almost too destructive to admit oil
war. The Krag-Jorganson rife officially
adopted for use in the United States army
carries a destructive ball distance oil
5000 yards-nearly three miles. 1t was
tested on the target range at Fort Leaven-
worth. the other day, and at distance
of 1900 yards--260 yards short OF mile
the bullet passed through a dead mans
body and afterward went through two
feet OF solid oak. With these weapons
and smokeless powder contending armies
could begin battle while several miles
apart, and the projectiles at distance Of
a mile, would have force sufficient to
pierce rank after rank and pass through
half dozen men ranged in line. This
would make hostilities so deadly that
even the brayest soldier would hesitate to
put himself forward as a target unless
death was courted by him.
