SILVER MINER VS.. GOLD MINER.

The last and fatal argument of the
gold standard advocates against equal
coinage is that sit will make lot of
silver mine owners rich"
Is the rank and file of the American
people to remain penniless because in
the effort to better their condition q
few fortunate men will profit thereby
The free coinage of silver will mean no
more to the silver mine owners than
the free coinage of gold has been for
the gold miners all these years. 1t is
particularly weak argument to say
that we can not relieve the people from
the direful results of the ''crime of 49,
just because it will make few silver
mine owners rich. This is new but il
will hardly serve the purpose of the free
silver advocates who have watched the
gold miners and gold gamblers heap up
fortunes for years. AS between the
silver miner and the gold miner you
can pay your money and take your
choice. The only difference is that the

BRYAN's nomination for president by
the populist convention, after he had
declined the nomination because that
convention had nominated Tom Wat
son instead of Sewall for vice presi-
dent, was much more satisfactory to
the average democrat than it would
have been under other circumstances.
OF course Mr.. Bryan would not, even
if he could, do anything to prevent the
populists voting for him, but their
nominating him after his declination
will relieve him of obligations which
would otherwise have existed. Accord
ing to information received in Wash
ington, Bryan would have received the
vote of nearly all of the populists
whether he had been nominated by
their convention or not.

The great speech of the day and the
greatest speech so far in either of the

have rarely heard a speech more per
fectly adapted to the occasion, more

purpose.

proceeds from intellectual rather than
physical endowments. His face is win.

good and his delivery captivating III
tone and gesture. His first sentences
put the discussion on a new and higher
plane than had been reached by the
preceding speakers, and that level was
maintained except for a moment until
he finished. Other men had been cheer
ed on the platform of this convention,
but Bryan fairly carried the conven.
tion off its feet, and very large pro-
portion of the audience which thronged
the galleries. Every ear was strained

UNDECIDED. The 600 and more silver
delegates were wild with appreciative
delight. Here was the man who put
their thoughts and vague aspirations
into language which stirred their very
souls. The idea ran from man to man
and from delegation to delegation that
here was the apostle for whom they
longed, the ideal leader for their cause.
eff it had been possible under the
rules Bryan would have been nomina-
ted for president there and then. AS il
was, the delegates tried to manifest
their feelings in the heartiest cheers
with which the Coliseum had rung.
The standards of the free silver states
were waved, and then these states,
each with its banner, formed in process
sion, with Nebraska in the lead, and
marched around the part of the hall
set apart for the delegates. Bryan's
name seemed shouted by every throat.
The hero of the hour was raised bodily
above the heads of the crowd. Not
until everybody was worn out did the
excitement subside. The scene will
live long in the memory of every spec
tator. We do not often see the like"

Evening.
The meeting of the trades and labor as
sembly Friday evening was well attended. A
number of delegates from outside the city
were present, including c. H. Stratton, Of
Worcester, Mass, and Messrs. Swift, Cameron
and Curran, of Minneapolis. j.
Coyne, of the BARRIERS union, was chosen
to fill vacancy on the, labor committee, in
place of F. Kueppers, who has opened shop
for himself this act debarring him from act
ing as delegate. The question Of
boycotting certain beer was brought up and
referred to the delegate from the brewery
workers union for further investigation.
The hack drivers difficulty with the
union depot officials created earnest discus
sion the grievance committee reported that
Mr.. Mcmillan could not, or would not grant
concessions, and the matter will be taken
into the courts, for the purpose Of deter
mining whether ]. B. Cook & Son have any
more rights than other. individuals.
1t was voted to drop the musician union
from the list Of recognized labor organizations
until 1t saw fit to adjust differences existing
between the bands composing 1t.
A resolution was introduced by Delegate
Pampusch asking the assembly to fit up a
reading room at Assembly hall, containing
daily and weekly papers and few current
periodicals. 1t went through by a unanimous
vote. President Wagner, of the
Minneapolis plasterer's union, addressed
the delegates on the benefits &C
cruing to the plasterers of that city
from organization, and an effort will be made
to build up union here. A resolution
was presented to the delegates at the meeting
of the trades and labor assembly, to the effect
that that body place itself on record by in
dorsing the candidacy of J. F. Krieger for
alderman from the Sixth ward, and also to
support any other members Of organized labor
who might be nominated for official positions
at the several conventions. The resolution
was adopted by a rising vote, amidst cheers
for AID Krieger. John Swift chair
man of the organization committee of the
trades council of Minneapolis, spoke on the
benefits of organization, and especially rec
commended the agitation of the eight-hour
question, and combined movement of the
