Mr.. McDermott told of the sterling De-
mocracy of New Jersey, and gave praise
to Hill as the man who had given to the
party the slogan, Il am Democrat. ...-
Faint cheering only greeted Senator Hill's
famous battle cry. Mr. McDerinott consn-
ued, telling about the rights OF the ini-
nority. He warned the silver men that
they were departing from tile principles
OF the party in overruliug the national coin
mttee.
1--WE OF the NORTH he said. want to
support the ticket that you will select.
II you have the strength Of giants do nos
expend it in bitterpess, but reserve it for
the day when you will need it-in No
yember."
He asked the majority not to take the
course offensive to the minority, and.
Thy genteness will make thee great"
Ex- Gov. Waller OF Connecticut was recog-
nized when Mr.. McDermott sat down, and
he promised, as he began his remarks from
The platform, not to delay the convention
long.
CHEERED THEM BOTH.
His resonant voice rang out clear and
strong, nd was heard in every part of the
hall. The names OF Hill and Daniel, he
said, should be Joined together and cheered
together, and sorne OF the delegates took
him at his word, and gave cheer for
both.
Mr.. Waller suggested that Hill should be
elected temporary chairman and Daniel
permanent chairman.
Ii there We're other arrangements made
he hoped they would be wiped out and the
chivalrous and right thing done at the open
ing Of the convention.
He had been told by Republican friends
in coming to Chicago that the gold men
would receive no courtesy; but he knew this
was not so.,-'"
ellow-Democrats,' he cried, 1--WE can
stand you beating us with votes; we can
stand any man you nominate, provided he
is an honest man: We are in this convention
to stay" (Cheering}
AS he declared, with uplifted hand, I'VE
are here to stay" the convention cheered,
and responded still more enthusiastically
with cheers and laughter when he added:
II am going to be here until the last man
and see him home"
AN APPEAL FOR HILL.
Continuing. Gpy. Waller said he supposed
that the majority outnumbered the minority
two to one. They intended to turn down
Hill in ignominy. 1twould be considered q
personal matter. eCries OF MOI
1f Hill were selected, he would make q
speech that would be full of coupd De
| mocracy. He would understand that be
represented both sides. If Hill were re-
fused the right to make his speech from
the platform, lie would make it from the
oor, and it would so to the country the
same
Are you going to do it?'' he asked and
| a chorus Yes went up.
'Gentiemen, you are going to do it ARC
you?' cried the speaker, and again the
affirmative shout went up.
He added: Turn down David B. Hill
and will tell you what we will do to my
| Southern friends. We will fight for 20,
here and elsewhere. We will fight 20,
until you are sorry for your indiscretior
| of this day.
| An outbreak of dissent, followed by cheer.
and hisses greeted this statement.
Ali through the latter part Mr. Waller.
| speech attempts weremade to cry him dowr
and he finally responded by warning til,
convention that lie would stay on the plat
form all day in order. TO make himsel
| heard.
he concluded with short appeal 70,
party unity, and took his seat amid cheer
ing from the Connecticut delegation.
