ovation to Sei.ator Hill, Of New York.
Chairman Harrity instructed the con-
vention to arise and be prayed for at
the hands of an Episcopal clergyman.
He apparently extemporized his invo-
cation, for occasionally looked to see
some of the silver men to move for his
expulsion when he told the Lord that
Honesty is the only test and only
policy Of a great people," With nearly
six hundred delegates present desirous
of making fifty cents a dollar won
dered what the Lord would think of
this sentiment. Fortunately, the c1er-
gyman was allowed to continue unin-
terrupted, but he escaped, under police
protection as sooL as he had dis
charged his duties. The proceedings
which followed were the most pro-
tracted I have ever seen upon the first
day of a national convention, and it
was

onset Of the gold people. Silence was
not golden, the fact Is the gold men
do not know how long they will form
part Of this convention, and evidently
propose to make the most Of their op-
portunities. McDermott, of New Jer-
sey, was first to speak for Hill, while
Waller, of Connecticut, was the first
to attract any special attention to the
majority report. AS he warmed up to
his work he exclaimed: What ought
the convention to do about it?" "Elect
Daniel" was the yell that went up
from the silver crowd. If Walters
views could be taken as a criterion.

us out of this convention by the exer-

the vision Of the

Special to the Globe.
CHICAGO, July THE expected has
happened, and it's first blood for the
silverites. Whatever excitement might
once have been created has all been
discounted during the past week, and
even the victors could not grow very
enthusiastic over securing certainty.
Owing to the distance from the city
and a row with the police over enter
ing the building, the convention got to-
gether slowly and omitted the usual
applause when distinguished men came
in, with the single exception Of slight

claimed that he was for

and a silver candidate, but he thought
they ought to risk it, and give the op-
position Hill for temporary chairman.
This oratory had already consumed
nearly three hours, and, like the brook,
was liable to go on forever but Har-
rity devised a. neat plan for shutting
1t off by. giving the silver men the last
word He accordingly introduced Clay
ton, Of Alabama, with the statement
that unless the majority OF the con-
vention objected. he would be the last
speaker. The convention was weary
enough to have allowed the previous
man to be the last speaker, and Har-
rity's scheme worked to a charm. The
only incident OF the roll call, really
notable was the neat retort courteous

correct the roll, and it goes into history
that he was outdone IN politeness by
his Southern antagonist. While Daniel
received but 55s votes to 34s for Hill,
there were some silver men who voted
for Hill. so that this test vote shows
the silver party to be dangerously near,
if theydo not absolutely have, the
necessary two-thirds to nominate. 1t
will be.#a matter OF local interest to
know that Minnesota's vote stood Z

RESTORATION OF sIl


We demand the immediate restoration of the
free and unlimited coinage of gold and silver
at the present legal ratio Of 16 to 1, without
waiting Tor the aid or consent OF any other
nation. We demand that the standard silver
dollar shall be full legal tender, equally
with gold, for all debts, public and private
and we favor such legislation as will pre-
vent the decentralization OF any kind of legal
tender money by private contract
We are opposed to the policy and practice
OF surrendering to the holders of the obliga-
ticns OF the United States the option reserved
by law to the government OF redeeming such
obligations in either silver coin of gold coin.
We are opposed to the issuing Of interest
bearing bonds Of the United States in time
of peace, and condemn the trafflcking with
banking syndicates which. In exchange for
bonds, and at an enormous profit to them
selves. supply the federal treasury with gold
to maintain the policy OF gold monometal-
lism.
Congress alone has the power to coin and
issue money. and President jackson declared
that this power could not be delegated to
corporations or individuals. We, therefore,
demand that the power to issue notes be
taken from the banks, and that all paper
money shall be issued directly by the treas
ury department.

STOPPED BY THE PRIEsT.-There is
ill-feeling in the eastern part of Rich
mond between members of st. Pat
rick's Catholic Church and a number of
Protestants. At the funeral services of
Captain Stratton, one of the best
known citizens there, Captain Frank
Cunningham, of the Walker Light
Guard, and collector of the city. was
asked by the orgsnist to sing Nearer,
My God, to Thee" He reluctantly
consented, but ere he had sung two
lines Rev. Father Donshue, pastor of
the church, waved to him to stop. Cap
tain Cunningham did not understand
that the signal was meant for him and
continued. Then Father Donahue
stepped up to the altar and cried {:
.'Stop, stop!" There was dense 81
lence and then the music ceased dur
Ing the funeral services. Captain Cum
ningham is Baptist, and did not know
that no English could be used in a flu.
neral service in the Catholic church.
The church was crowded with rela-
tiyes aud friends of the deceased, who
we're Protestants. They are indignant
over the priests action.
