The story old
The address of Mir. Delmar held the
close attention of the great crowd dur
ing the time of it's delivery and was fire.
by this time nearly $50, but the crowd
was hungry for more speeches, and they
called the names of their favorites per-
slstently. After several attempts to Sc
cure an adjournment, considerable disorder
prevailed. The chairman declared the
body adjourned until evening without fur
ther formality.
Evening Session.
At the evening session, which began
promptly at s o'clock, Senator William
M. Stewart, of Nevada, presided and
introduced Congressman Joseph G..
Sibley, of Pennsylvania.
Mr.. Sibley was greeted with thunder
Gus applause and in a two hours
speech aroused his auditors to a high
pitch of enthusiasm. He made an
earnest appeal for independent politi-
cal action in 1896, and occupied a good
part of the time Illustrating the neces-
sity of breaking away from the old
ma rites His auditors Unra aUidnnf1u
with him, for every attack upon Sec
rotary Carlisle, the president or Sena-
tor sherman, was greeted with noisy
demonstrations, and every time he
asked the crowd if they would remain
with their old parties and continue
the domination of the English power,
he was greeted with a chorus of NOS"
He paid his respects to the president
and Secretary Carlisle in very plain
language, calling them traitors" for
their part in the conspiracy to demon
etize silver and fasten upon the coun-
try the hardships of a gold standard.
All such outbursts as this were
greeted with tumultuous applause.
Tribute to Jackson.
MI. Sibley paid an eloquent tribute
to Andrew Jackson, the great Ten
esseean, who achieved fame through
his successful antagonism of the
illCAACy pow 1 do well 90 Oy Ills Ia
tary career. He related the story of
Jackson's refusal, when captured by
the British as d boy, to blacken the
boots of an English officer, who struck
him with a sword, leaving a scar that
ne bore until death. He gave it a
political turn by exclaiming that there
were Democrats in Tennessee who
would blacken those boots today and
lick the hand h a struck them.
w must win this fight in 1896"
continued MI. Sibley, "or we lose it
beyond the lifetime of my generation
or the one that follows it. You cannot
put this fight off beyond 1895 and win
IT. If the monometallists win, then
comes tire retirement Of greenbacks,
the forging of $500, 900, 900 of letters on
u industries. There are other great
questions to be considered. but they
are Insignificant as compared with this
one.
Reputation or Revolution.
eff we lose thi fight in 1885, two
are to be feared-repudia-
ton or revolution. One or the other
is sure to come"
Mr.. Sibley expounded the political
axioms which, he said, contained the
result of his study of the money ques-
ton. They were: First-Double the
volume of money and you double
prices. Second-Divide the volume of
money and you divide prices. Third
Double the volume of money and you
divide the debts. Fourth-Divide the
volume of money and you double the
debts.
At the conclusion OF Mr.. Sibley's
speech there were persistent calls for
Mr.. Bryan, of Nebraska, but that gen.
tleman evidently desired a more ia
vorable opportunity and more time in
to deliver his views upon the
cf1r-ar Question f1. h. 1@41f-AI - -

Mr.. Charles S. Thomas, of
Denver. occupied the remainder of the
time of the evening session.
