tary Humphrey read the call. and ad-
dresses of welcome we're made ny Mayor
McKfs son and President n. n. Woodman-
see. Of the Ohio League OF Republican
Clubs Mr. Woodmansee expressed re-
greet that Gov. Mckinley was prevented
by Kansas engagement from weicoih-
ing the delegates to Ohio The reference
10 Mckinley caused a loud and continu-
Gus demonstration Woodmansee saio
Mckinley would reach the city Friday eV-
ening and at the Hollenden would be glad
TO greet all.
President Tracey, of Chicago. then de-
livered his annual address. He declared
that the election last November sounded
a note of warning 10 the worid that the
people of the United States once and lot
all declared themselves in favor or pro-
lection TO American industry ana AnleFl-
can labor.
Weary and bedraggled; found guilty
by the people OF incapacity and blunder-
ing ad infinitum. the Democratic leaders
in sheer desperation have taken upon
themselves the agitation of the currency
question in the hope that they may again
fool the people and recover the position
they so deservedy and completely lost
But no amount OF silver agitation can
turn the minds of the people away from
the fact that under thirty years of pro-
lection and reciprocity this country de-
veloped as no other country has in the
history OF nations. and in three years or
threatened free trade tariff legislation the
Democratic party brought disaster and
ruin TO thousands and thousands or
American homes.
There is no opposition in this coun-
try TO an enlarged use of silver IL II can
be brought about without disturbing our
present trade relations with other coun-
tries. But the question is shall American
markets be open TO the world on
cheaper basis than American citi-
zens themselves. The people of this con-
try want more money, but only on con-
dition that it he sound and current the
world over. This entire question as TO
the future use of silver Will probably be
settled by the great commercial nations
of the world within year. Germany and
France are seeking bi-metallism and En-
gland is fast turning in that direction.
What people should do is TO bring press
ure upon their representatives for the ap-
pointment Of delegates to an international
conference with power TO act, and insist
upon an agreement and obligation from
the nations participating to maintain the
ratio they adopt
The forenoon was taken up mostly with
music and cheering the entry of leaders,
the singing of the Cleveland Glee Club be-
ing a feature.
When Secretary Humphrey called The
states to ascertain the number OF dele
gates and alternates. IL was ascertained
that the states could report only those
present, not the number TO which they
are entitled. This was against the silver
men, whose delegations were not as full
as those of other states. There were loud
demonstrations when Tennessee. Missouri,
Kentucky and other Democratic states
were called. The greatest ovation was
given to II. Clay Evans. of Tennessee.
The secretary announced that there
were represented forty-six states and ter
ritories, the largest number ever repre-
scented at any convention OF the league.
Among the delegates were four ladies from
Colorado. one from New York and three
from Illinois.
H Clay Evans. of Tennessee, moved TO
refer all resolutions TO the committee on
resolutions without debate. An amend
ment 10 refer without reading was defeat
ed. the silver men protesting. Evans mo-
ton prevailed.
At p. m. the convention adjourned I'M
I'll 10 a. m. tomorrow. to give the commit
tees time TO work
