Senator Harris then presented letters
from Senator's John I. Morgan. of Ala
bama: Pugh. of Alabama, and Jones,
of Nevada. indorsing the convention,
and containing words OF encourage
ment for the advocates of the free coin
age of silver.
In response TO repeated calls from
the audience, Senator Jones, of Arkan-
sas, advanced to the front of the stage.
II had no idea, gentlemen" said he,
"of making a speech. The resolutions
just presented contain my views on
this subject as tersely and forcibly as
they could be expressed IN words. l
believe that the people of the country
will digest this great question before
the next national election and find the
fallacies of the arguments of the gem
tlemen on the other side.
In this campaign of education the
bloated plutocrats will find hat they
are the pupils and we are the teachers,
instead of they being the teachers
and we the pupils, as they claim.
There never has been a time in the
history of the world when the nations
were as much interested in a question
as they are in this one. Hard times
DO not exist in America along. They
exist in every country where gold is
the measure of value. This shows
what the root of the evil is.
They talk of Me~xicanizing this
country. Why, Mexico is paying bet
ter wages and is more prosperous than
ever before. In conclusion, I will say
that | believe that there is no hope for
the return of national prosperity to
this country until this question is set
tied, and settled by the rehabilitation
of silver as n money"
The convention was further adj
dressed in succession by eX-Gov.
Prince Of New Mexico; Senator Till
man, of South Carolina: Gov. Adams, of
Colorado, and Senator Butler, of North
Carolina. At the close of the latter's
remarks the convention took a recess
until evening.
EVENING SESSION.
Congressman Bankhead, of Alabama,
presided at the evening session. He
introduced Gen. A. j. Warner, of Ohio,
who declared hat any man who says
that silver was demonetized with the
full knowledge of the people of the
United States simply lies.
You can disentomb all the traitors
whose lives are written in history and
all can give a better reason for their
traitorous ends than can the senator
from Ohio give for his action on the
financial question"
He insisted that the silver question
was the most important one before the
public. and hat free coinage must be
carried, whether within party lines OF
not, but he asked no one to leave his
party. He said hat he had no doubt
that Sherman and Cleveland would
vote the same ticket next year.
VIM. j. Bryan, of Nebraska. the next
speaker, in the course of his remarks,
said:
'Populists will not envy you repub-
licans when OF follow the famous
motto of your martyred president,
Government of the people, for the peO-
pie and by the people, and win vic
tories for truth.
They will not envy you democrats
any victories won for truth, if you fol-

Gratis will not envy you populists, who

and honor alike Lincoln, jefferson and
