A plank has been added reiterating the

The committee agreed upon several
amendments to the platform. the most I'M
portant of which was the following sub
stftution for the plank on bank issues:
Congress alone has power to coin and is
sue money. and President Jackson declared
that this power could not be delegated to
corporations or to individuals. We, there
fore, denounce the issuance Of notes as
money for national banks as in derogation
OF the Constitution, and we demand that all
paper which Is made legal tender for pub

2O.OoO voices are shouting HILL"
The audience finally quiets down, not be-
cause they are tired Of appIauding HILL
but because he started to talk and they
want to hear him.
Il am democrat, but not revolution
ist.'' Is the first audible sentence Senator
Hill utters. MY mission Is to build UP.
not TO destroy. To plan for victory and not
to plot for defeat" he continues.
As Senator Hill proceeded with his anti
silver speech the audience. although a ma
tority undoubtedly opposed to the
views he advances, give him the most re-
spectful attention. So quiet are the 10000
people IN the great building that his voice,
pitched In a moderate tone, reaches to
every part Of the hall.
As Senator Hill concludes, he Is given
hearty ovation by the gold men. but Its
scantiness only serves to accentuate the
greeting which was rendered to Hill. the
man and democrat. by the whole audience
when he mounted the platform.
Senator Villas Of Wisconsin Is, introduced
to the audience. and his delegation starts a
hurrah for him which does not excite the
audience to any great degree. He advo-
Gates the minority report and starts out in

CHICAGO, July 9.-Ths George Fred.
Williams vice presidential boom is rapidly
taking shape, and 1t Is asserted that Texas
Kansas and Arkansas will cast their votes
for him. Senator Jones Of Arkansas is
said to warmly favor the plan. as do many
leaders Altgeld is reported to have said
that there was great deal in that youth
from Massachusetts, and that he had bet
ter be cultivated. Nor Is Williams himself
reluctant witness Of his own growing
popularity. Among the silver men here
the opinion prevails that with Williams on
the ticket Harvard College and Beacon
street would come out for free silver. They
think he carries the vote Of the Massa-
chusetts Independents in his pocket, and
have no doubt Of his assertion that Massa-
chusetts is hopeful ground for the ticket

such nomination would be preposterous
that his own state would rise In convention

WHEN SILVER WAS DEMONETIZED
Continuing, Mr.. Mason asserted tnat
in 1857 silver was demoneized, and none
coined.
Gen. Watts-"Was no silver coined
between 1857 and 1873? Answer that
question"
Mason-"I cannot answer it in detail"
Watts-"Answer it in bulk, then
Gen. Watts showed that over two mill
ions were coined in the TWO years and a
few weeks preceding the characterization
act of 1873. reading from the treasury
report. Mason admitted this. Watts
then stated tina. il was matter Of his
ltory that silver was not demonetzed un-
til 1873, and referred Mr.. Mason to
Barnes school history, taught in the
public schools of West Virginia. Mr..
Mason then took up his argument, and
attempted 10 show that the silver dollars
now coined are al the United States can
maintain at a parity. He then dropped
silver, and talked a little tariff. The
Republican chairman-there were two
chairmen-was worried when Gen. Watts
twisted Mason in his statements, and
arose to protest that Mason be allowed
to speak without interruption. Mr. Ma
son stated that Gen. Watts questions
were moi Interruptions.
The Chairman-'I'n have to extend
Mr.. MaSOn's tine
General Watts-"I am perfectly will
ing 10 permit an extension of Mr.. Ma
sons time"
When Mr.. Mason had talked FOR an
hour, General Watts urged him TO con-
tinue. I've want you 10 say all you
can on tbs subject. We are anxious
10 hear your side OF the case" he said
Mr.. Mason had had enough, how
ever, and ne wound up abruptly, and
took his seat.
The Republican speakers were to ad-
dress a meeting at Maysyille that
night General Watts proposed a divis-
ion of time at the meeting, agreeing
TO divide time at his meeting at Davis
on Saturday night The proposition
was declined by Congressman Dayton.
In the above report, the arguments
on both sides are fairly, but on account
Of a lack of space, not fully presented.
The Republican speakers certainly fail
ed to answer ths propositions of Gen.
Watts and Mr.. Chiffon.
