! test, still he did not believe it was nee
essary to leave at this juncture. There
are other great issues that the repub-
! Iican party could carry out and he
should stand by it to that extent. He
would refer the conventions platform
| to the people of Montana for a decision.
An attempt by Henderson, of Iowa, to
| interrupt him was cried down ny the
! delegates and spectators and he was
allowed to speak to finish. When he
had finished Chairman Thurston rec
ognized Senator Brown, of Utah. He
said that while he joined his silver col
leagues in their protest against the
reading of silver out of the party, still
he believed that there were greater is
sues than even the financial supremacy
of the country,-tariff, our marine and
many other things talked about in his
party. He then moved that the con-
vention allow three alternates from the
state of Utah to sit in the convention
during the remainder of the session in
place of three regular delegates who
had walked out. This was carried by
Brown was followed by A. F. Burleigh,
of Washington, who said his state
looked upon the issues of Mckinley and
protection as a greater question than
that simple one of a fnacial standard.
The regular order Of business was
then demanded and the chair called for
naming of state delegation chairmen-
The convention quieted down after this
and the chairman called for a list OF
the national committeeman selected.
Nominations Are Made.
"The next business is the call of the
roll of states for the nomination for
president" announced ThurstCn, at 2 ]
o'clock. The roll call included names
unanswered which had seldom been
passed il republican conventions
Illinois and Indiana-and the monot-
ony was broken only when Gen. Hen
derson rose at the call of Iowa to an
nounce that Charles Baldwin, of Coun,
Gil Bluffs, would speak for that state
Baldwin nominated Allison Congress-
man Hepburn had temporarily taken
Thurston's gavel when Baldwin had
When the state of Maine was
reached Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, OF
came forward and pre-
sented the name of Thomas B. Reed.
One enthusiastic admirer unfolded a
great banner containing a huge por-
trait Of Speaker Reed with these words:
Nothing to explain, true from the
first" As he flung the banner out
rom the galleries the Reed men be- :
gan a cheer for Reed, but the demon ,
'tratfon lasted not over a minute. The !

I draperieS with it's resonance and rattle
| the windows. ''The chairman earnest
ly and respectfully asks this conven-
! ton to be in ORDER said Mr.. Thurston
when his gavel could make an opening
for his voice. "This is signed con-
tinued Mr.. Cannon, 'by Henry M. Tel
! Ter of Colorado" An uproar of Kisses
greeted the name which was first mix
ed with and then overwhelmed by a
great cheer. Each name was followed
/ by another storm of Kisses and the
| others were not cheered as Teller's had
| been.
An Impressive Scene.
When the names had been read,
| Senator Cannon folded his document,
deliberately and turned and reaching
across the desk, grasped Thurston by
the hand. Teller did the same. The
two then shook hands with Foraker
and turned toward the steps leading
down to the right center aisle. Mean
time, men, women and children from
the pit to the last tiers in the galleries
had climbed upon their chairs, as
Teller and Cannon stepped in the aisle
and their silver colleagues rose and
followed them. AS the men marched
along the pathway to the door a yell
went up, before which every other out
break of the day paled into silence 1t
admiration, defiance, derision and rage
was non-descrlp,4cal, a shout in which
joined. The band in the gallery broke
n t1lr1 h11t re al
made no impression on the vocal storm
and was drowned in it. Finally when
the shout had somewhat subsidized, the
noise of the band asserted itself by de-
grees in the shape Of the melody, Co.
lumbia, the Gem of the Ocean. Twice
and three times the strain was repeat
ed and then a voice took up the re-
frain, Three cheers for the red, white
and blue, and then by degrees the
whole assembly took up the chorus
with magnificent burst and sang, the
Army and navy, forever; three cheers
for the red, white and blue Two
stanzas were sung by this chorus of
twelve thousand and the band firing of
its work, dropped out of the song.
Meantime the file of the silvermen had
disappeared beyond the bust of Grant
before the main entrance, but still the
crowd stood in their chairs and sang.
The desertion Of the silver men failed
to lessen their ardor and they sang
even without accompaniment except
the waving of their umbrellas and
flags. At length the band men re-

but the chorus swelled to such a tenn
pest that the instruments were unheard
twenty feet away. Men waved their

but the Colorado senator made nc ef-
fort at dramatic effect He spoke in
the clear, ringing tones which have so
often reused the chamber of the United
States senate. 1t was not until toward
the close of his speech that he became
both impressive and pathetic. His re-
view of his long service in the party
Visibly affected him. AS he realized
the step he was about to take he drew
himself together for final appeal and
declared with an earnestness that i'm
pressed all who heard MIN that in his
opinion the mortality, the religion and
the salvation of the country were at
stake. There was deep feeling, almost
pathos, in the senator's voice, and
those nearest could detect the glimmer

Of tears when he said there was heart
burnings and grief in the sacrifice
which he and his colleagues were tC
make for their consciences. Another
demonstration arose when Teller fold
ed his arms across the pink rosebud or
his coat and sank into his seat. Fhe
cheers began this time with the silver
men and spread to the galleries and
caught up in it's whirl many of the gold
delegates, who were on their feet from
admiration, not for the cause, but fol
the man, and this time the Kisses were
very few.
After Senator Teller had said: 81
must sever my connections with the po-
litical party which makes the gold
plank one of the principal articles OF
it's faith" the senator paused and
swept his eyes around the hall. For
an instant the full significance of de-
fiance failed to impress itself, then it
sunk home and the galleries rose with
another yell, and mingling with the
yell a fusilade Of Kisses. A moment
after, when he said that if under such
circumstances he remained in the par
ty, he would be unfaithful to ais trust,
enthusiastic cries of mo, no." came
from the delegates in the eastern
states.
The demonstration was followed by
loud cries for Foraker, Foraker" from
all parts of the hall. The senator
elect from Ohio, the chairman of the
resolutions committee, did not reply to
the speech of the Colorado senator.
Without a word he moved to lay the
substitute offered by Mr.. Teller on the
table. Senator Lodge, of Massachus-
etts, seconded the motion
The motion which is not debatable
had the effect of calling off further de-
bate, and Senator Teller demanded a
roll call of states. His demand was
quickly supported by Senator Mantle
on behalf of Montana and Delegate
Cleveland, of Nevada The first state,
Alabama, voted Is to in favor of the
motion.
Conventions Climax.
After the convention had voted down
the silver mems substitute for the gold
plank and adopted the platform the
great climax Of the convention was at
hand. Senator Teller elbowed his way
to the platform. AS his form appeared
a hush fell upon the thousands in the
galleries, while the delegates on the
floor leaned forward attentively. AS
a matter of privilege Chairman Thurs
ton asked that Senator Cannon of
Utah, who. had also made his way TO
the platform be allowed to read a per-
sonal statement prepared by the silver

and fought for something to swing
above their heads, as though they had
gone stark crazy 1t was only pure
physical exhaustion that finally
brought the house by degrees back into
the chairs. The chairman's gavel
banged for order and in the brief lull
he said: 'This convention still has
enough delegates to do business with"
Again applause broke forth and several
delegates stood upon chairs waiting for
a chance to speak. In a few minutes
the chair found a lulling place in the
applause to say: "A gentleman from
Montana who did not go wants to ad-
dress you" Again hats, flags and UNI

of thousands of threats sent forth
