convention reassembled this morning at
$50 o'clock and after several hours
discussion adopted their platform, upon
which a row was precipitated last
night
The platform was adopted after
few amendments. 1t declares for the
free coinage of silver at the ratio of
is to 1, regardless of the action of for
eign countries. The platform also con
demns Repu ublican Iallacies.
Bland Endorsed.
At noon the convention decided the
matter Of sending delegates to Chicago
by voting to send eight delegates in
stead of four. and selected John Duncan
Smith county. John w. Blake. Lime
stone county; Congressman Bailey, Tar
rant county. Governor Q. A Culber-
son. John H Reagan, E. c. Senter,
Tarrant county. United States Senator
Horace Chiffon, Tyler county, and eX-
Governor Hogg, Travis county.
At this point much cOmmOtiOn was
occasioned by the appearance of
huge picture of Bland coming down the
center aisle of the convention hall and
at the same time Colonel Shepard ad-
Vanced to the stage and moved to IN
dOrse Bland for the presidency. This
motion was received with deafening
cheers, and Senator Horace Chiffon
rushed to the front of the platform to
oppose his Endorsement. Colonel John
Duncan also opposed the Endorsement
of Bland and favored indOrsing Gov
ernor Hogg for the presidency
pOrters of the state administration
and HOgg raised cain in their Opposi-
tion to Bland.
John Reagan also spoke opposing any
presidential instructions at all.
Dudley, chairman of the state exec

the Bland endorsement Judge Bran
lette introduced a resolution stating
in effect that Bland was the choice of
the people of Texas and deemed it ad-
visable to the interests of silver to vote
for him at Chicago. Congressman
Bailey spoke in advocacy of the reso-
luton and stated emphatically that he
faVOrS Bland.
Governor HOgg said the adoption of
the resolution would have no more ef-
feet on the Chicago delegation than the
