gate, WHICH met Win tue eutife dp-
proval of the convention.
Pending the report of the commit
tee on resolutions the convention
was addressed by Hon. p s. RAIDER.
editor OF the Brunswicker. who
made q rousing free silver speech,
sprinkled with q little Blaine reel
procity. The speaker said many
good things. and emphatically de-
clared that between silver monome
tallism and gold monomettallism he
preferred silver monomettallism, &C
the monied classes could not corner
silver az they can gold. We regret
that We have not the space to give
more extended notice Of Mr.. Raiders
speech
The committee on resolutions gave
notice that it was ready TO report;
and it's report was adopted, section
by section, with the exception OF a
rebuke administered to Congress.
man Hall for bis support OF the Car
Isle currency bill In congress last
winter. which rebuke was stricken
from the fourth resolution, but the
national administration was "roas-
ted" in the fifth resolution. Mr..
Halls scalp was, perhaps, saved by
his staunch friend and supporter,
Mr.. j. NJ. Hamilton, OF Salisbury
township, who stated that Mr. Hall
had told him that his (Halls) pur-
ported late Washington interview In
the St. Louis Republic, in which he
(HalD was quoted as being opposed
to a state convention to take some
action on the financial question,
was untrue-in fact, Mr.. Hamilton
said Mr.. Hall had told him the in
terview was emphatically bogus. or
words to that effect. just what
this interview" whether true or
false, had to do with Mr.. Halle sup
port of the Carlisle currency bill. an
administration measure. we fail TO
see. Those who know Mr.. Hall best
are Disposed to believe that his
Washington interview in the Repub-
lie was genuine, as 1t was quite in keep
ing with his action at the state con-
vention in May. 1894, and his letter
to the Republic, over his own sigma.
ture, about a week before the state
convention met, in which he ex-
pressed the hope that the convention
would pass no resolutions touching
on national issues. IL it WAS wrong
for q state convention to pass such
resolutions in 1894. it 10, in Mr..
Halle Judgment, bound to be wrong
in 1895.
We suspect that in denying his
late Washington interview In the
Republic, Mr.. Hall is only playing
the dog in the manger, q game at
which he is most proficient.
The following are the resolutions
that were adopted by the conven
ton:

the currency under the power OF private
banking corporations. no matter under
