IN SHAPE OF RESOLUTIONS

Memphis, June 13.-At the beginning of the mornings session Kean St Charles of Arizona, who had just ar rived, was made vice-presldent for that state, and John B. Park for Kansas.
 Chairman Turpie then introduced Sen ator Stewart of Nevada, who readily complied with the demand for a.speech
 When Stewart had concluded loud cries for Congressman H. D. Money brought him to the front. In substance Mir Money said:
 q am here, a silver man from the crown of my head to the sole of my feet, and l am a democrat all over. We find that the last congress has failed to re- deem it's promises to the people, and it has failed. Why? Because of the influence of tho execu- tive on the members of congress. Un- fortunately there were many members of congress who preferred the pubic patronage which the administration was able to give to keeping their promises to their constituents.
 T tell you, my friends I am one of those who believe that the democratic party Is quite able to settle this money question for itself without going out side. We, however, welcome to the ranks of silver all those from other parties. while we believe we can settle this mat ter without depending upon them You have been told that Andrew Jackson, the grand old Tennessee pillar of strength, was Q goid-bug. If that is so, we want to do just what Andrew Jackson did, declare for the free and unlimited coin age of silver at the ratio of l6 to l. The gold-b bugs will tell you that the silver craze, as they call it. Is about oVer put they will be greatly deceived if they think SO"
 MT. Money was obliged to quit speak ing early on account of a soar throat.
 Private John Allen of Mississippi fol- lowed. Mir Allen said in part: This is a contest between the best money the best property and the best labOr and for my part I prefer that which has pro duced the best manhood in this country and | take my stand on the side Of the people and labor as against the Idle hold- CTS of idle capital. There will be men In this convention who will taunt you with listening to @ speech from an ex-repub- lican and populist, Senator stewart, Dut when we looked in vain for help from New York, when our liberty at the polls was threatened we found 1t in Nevada, But 1 say to Senator Stewart and others, don't ask us to desert the democratic party I am not one of those who place party above principle, but l do believe the safety of this country today lies with the great democratic party. The great democratic heart is stirred to it's depths today on this question. The democratic ship has not always had smooth sailing. It's hulk has been pat tered, and sometimes 1t has not taken the right course; but we are going 10 put on new captains and new pilots, and we are going to sail to victory. The democfatic party in it's national plat form is going to declare for the free ana unlimited coinage of silver. We asS all those who believe in free silver. and are not yet in the democratic party, to come into the ranks When hear peo- pie say this country can't do things be- cause other countries have failed to do them. I tell them uhat Hhis country should set the pace in all the leading questions of the day, and that 1t can ho it. Shame on the man in whose veins runs the blood of his revolutionary an cestors, who comes here with the pitiful cOntenptiDle plea that we are not able to establish our own financial policy. I am told every day that I should fol- low the head of the democratic party. believe that there is no head bigger than the great body of the democratic people l know the money interests are against us, but 1 do hope the people of this country will not let Grover Cleve- land have corner on the backbone of their country, and will let him know that the American people will no longer consent to be bullied."
 Ex-Governor Tillman of South Caro- lima then spoke as follows:
 q shall open my remarks by congrat- ulating you upon the representative character of this gathering. Some three or four weeks ago there was assembled in this city a gathering called to teach the southern people the meaning of sound money. After putting in motion all the secret agencies and the use of their illimitable money, and drumming up delegates from this chamber of com merce and that bank. they assembled to tell us what was the meaning of 'sound money" and after having the people of this city. whose loans from the banks make them subservient to the banking interests, turn out, they succeeded in drumming up large gath ering and they had the secretary of the treasury here to tell us the difference between sound money now and
