point Rodgers, Yale's No. 4, seemed
rowed out. He was very pale and
pulled listlessly. In spite of this the
Americans rowed stublornly, power

n No more eloquent commentary on the

and made this convention so memorable
could be needed It was not without a
wall Of agony, however, that some Of
the spectators, who could not fathom
the mysteries Of political maneuvering
and the necessity Of grinding men be-
meath the heel, saw the old champion,
whose slogan and proudest boast was

utter Senator Daniel had reached the
platform and assumed the gavel they
called loudly for the defeated candi-
date, but the experienced general, who
has tasted the bitterness of defeat be-
fore as well as the sweetness of victory,
only smiled grimly. -.
This was the first result of this re-
4markable convention which is ready to
sacrifice all else that the
White Banner Of Silver
may float about the party as its ensign
and rallying cry. The convention it.
self was most inspiring sight. Never
before since the present system Of ma
tional conventions was inaugurated by
the old National Republican party in
Baltimore in 1881 has convention met
in such a capacious and admirably
adapted structure. On the north side,
where the platform and press benches
are situated, the galleries rise one above
the other sheer from the floor, while in
front, from all sides Of the rallied en-
closure where the delegates sit, slope
away the wilderness Of seats in gentle
terraces to the most remote limits Of the
Coliseum, which are almost 400 feet in
direct line from the chairman's table,
