upon their representa- for the ap-
po1ntment of delegates to an interna-
tlonai conference with power to act
and insist upon an agreement and
obligation from the nations participate
ing to maintain the ratio as there
adopted.
Protection and Reciprocity
Finally, the great work of the Re
publican party is a promotion and en-
largement of our industries through
protection and the extension of our
foreign trade through reciprocity; the
establishment of a bimetallic stand
ard of money through international
agreement in which silver shall be
more fully recognized; the revival of
our merchant marine and the crea-
ton of a system of irrigation for the
reclamation of arid lands. Having
given our attention to the questions of
the day, let the voice of this conven-
ton be of no uncertain tone; let it go
with vim and vigor, full of American
ism, in dauntless spirit of American
ism as taught by James G.. Blaine.
Let your platform be wide enough,
broad enough, and strong enough to
cover the whole country and meet
the approval of the whole people.
The Republican party knows no east,
no west, no north or south, but one
vast empire; the party of all parties
which best represents the intelligence
and patriotism of the American peo-
pie is the party of Lincoln, Grant and
Garfield, of Blaine and Logan. Let
all of us who love our country and
party and who believe pride in party
is pride in country, go forth under the
banner inscribed with the grand
achievements of the G. o. P. and then,
inspired by the glory of the past and
the hope of the future, the represen-
tatives of the Republican national
league will continue to lead the irwin
chile hosts of patriotism.
Only Those Present.
When Secretary Humphrey called
the states to ascertain the number OF
delegates and alternates, it was ascer-
tanned the states could report only
those present, not the number to which
they are entitled. The ruling
was against the silver men, whose
as the other states. There was
loud demonstrations when Ten
nessee, Missouri, kentucky and other
Democratic states were called. The
greatest ovation was given H. Clay
Evans, of Tennessee.
In his address of welcome, President
D. D. Woodmansee, of the Ohio league,
expressed regret that Governor Nc
Kinley was prevented by the kansas
engagement from welcoming the dele
gates to Ohio. The reference to Nc
Kinley caused loud and continuous
demonstration. Woodmansee said Nc
Kinley would reach the city on Friday
evening and at the Hollenden would
be glad to greet all. The secretary an
nounced there were represented 46
states and territories, the largest num-
Der ever represented at any conveG-
ton of the league. Among the dele
gates were four ladies from Colorado.
one from New York, two from Wash
ington and three from Illinois. II. Clay
Evans, of Tennessee, moved to refer
all resolutions to the committee on
resolutions without debate. An amend
ment to refer without reading was de-
feated, as the silver men protested.
Evans motion prevailed.

While II is claimed that this COM
mittee has a majority against the un-
limited coinage of silver at the ratio
of 16 to l, yet the silver men say they
are satisfied with the committee and
that they have such a large number
of their men on the committee that
there cannot be any positive declara-
ton against free coinage without such
minority report as to give them a
fair chance in the fight on the two
reports in the convention.
In the afternoon many of the dele
gates and visitors went to Forest City
park TO attend big league picnic,
where several prominent men made
speeches. Others visited various points
of interest in the city.

at the silver conference:
Resolved, That the Republican
party, organized to preserve the unity
of the United States. and today exist

traditions Is committed to fnanclal
policy designed TO conserve the best in
terests of all our people and their
varied industries and TO give to the
debtor equal rights with the creditor

alterably committed to the restoration
of the bimeta1lic monetary standard as
1T existed in this country prior to 1873.
namely, to the free and unlimited
coinage of silver at a ratio of 16 TO l.
Colonel Trumbo. of Salt Lake city,
presented the following memorial with
the resolution Of the silver men:
We are not here as western men nor
as the representa- tives Of silver pro-
ducing states. We come before you
as citizens of a common country. no
part of which can be art!ficially built
up without injury to the balance. In
demanding the insertion of a resolu-
ton which recognizes the necessity of
the free and unlimited coinage of sill
yer at a ratio of 16 to l, you must be-
lieve that our motives are patriotic
rather than selfish.
Time and place do not afford oppor-
tunity for extensive discussion of this
subject; but the certain fact may be
stated without fear of contradiction,
that under the monetary system as
