When the Republican state conven-
ton reassembled shortly after 4 o'clock
yesterday afternoon the Sedgwick
county Mckinley Glee club sang an
other song in their still small voices
It was about Grover Cleveland duck
hunting on QuanticO Bay. The song
said Grover could hear the ducks with
their quack, quack, quack and he
would issue more bonds when he got
back"
The temporary chairman called on
the committee on credentials to report

T. J. Smith of Mcpherson was intro
duced and made a speech.
Mrs. Smith was a Populist six years
ago, but devoted most of her time yes

of free silver and the "anarchist' fol-
lowers of Bryan and Watson

Smith of AIarysville came in leading
his charge. Congressman Calderhead,
whom he led over to a seat by him in
the Fifth district section.
When Mrs. Smith finished there were
yells for ingalls,, other calls of almost
equal volume for Burton. Burton was
on the platform ready for such calls
and came out escorted by a tall portly
man with red whiskers. When Mr..
Burton appeared he could not proceed
for some time because Of the calls for
ingalls,.
Chairman Sheldon restored order by
saying a speaker had been called for
and he should not only be accorded
time in which to speak but also proper
respect.

of the Republican party beats now and
always has beat for sound money Bur-
ton recited these words in some Of his
choicest, resonating, cultural eloeu-
tfonary tones.
He said the Republican party was
opposed and always had been opposed
to the free coinage of silver. On this
point Mr.. Burton didn't go into de-
tails. He also declared that the
reason the Republican party had not
been more uncompromisingly opposed
to silver was because of the vaciIla
ton and cOwardice Of their leaders.
In mentioning a long list of Repub-
Iican statesmen the names of Blaine
and Mckinley We're most loudly cheer
ed. John Shermans name was also

Mr.. Burton denounced the boiling
free silver men at St. Louis and said
