Patrick Scored Them.
Judge Patrick, of Canal Dover, made
a radical free silver argument in IA
vor of his minority report, and scored
the majority report as a serpent which
wiggled and wiggled and no one could
tell whether it was running for gold OF
coming back.
He caused storm of merriment
when he turned and pointed at Sena-
tor Brice, as he said gold was in the
hands of the rich and that this was a

lionaires. He begged that the Demo-
cratic party be delivered from the ma
tional banks and the money power
Mr.. Hurd replied in favor of the ma

He claimed that no state convention

congratulating MIR. Hurd. Mr.. R. D.
Marshall of Dayton, made plea for
the majority report.
L. a. Russell, of Cleveland, closed

taken from the minority report when

adopted. At the call the Cuyahoga
county delegation, which had just
been seated, cast its 80 votes solid for
the minority free silver report. The

strength Of the silver question alone
would find the SO votes of Cuyahoga

The vote on the minority report was,
however, generally considered a test
Of strength in the state on the financial
question.
