in calling the convention was upheld
equally as vociferously. The invitation to
other state committees for a national free
silver convention met the popular approval.

the democratic Illinois Congressman to vote
for free coinage were received with laugh

other rations. 1t has gone further, and
made a demand upon the national demo-

state organization of Illinois will summon
such a gathering. An effort to give the
Altgeld state administration the indorse-

the face of strong opposition. The con-
vention was remarkable for smoothness of
action up to a certain point, and when the
cause of irritation was removed all was
again serene. The sound money delegates
did not utter a wcrd In the convention.
