Jones Of Arkansas followed Tillman.
He said he loved the south. but above sec
ton he loved the whole of this grpat ooun-
try. He was loudly cheered by both silver
and gold men. He denied that the silver
| cause Is sectional. When Jones concluded
he was followed by Senator Hill who was
loudly cheered as he took the stand The
demonstration lasted ten minutes
When at last order was partially re-
stored, Mr.. Hill began, calmly, but with a
voice that readily reached the galleries.
He said he would not attempt 10 follow
or answer the senator from South Caro-
lima. IL can say TO him" said MIR. Hill,
that am a Democrat, but not gold
bug. south Carolina, with all It's power,
proceeded Mr. Hill, could not drive me
out OF the Democratic party" He came
here on mission to unite-not 10 divide,
but To build up and not destroy; To plan
Tor Victories, not to plot for defeat. New
York made noeapologies TO south Caro-
lima. The great Empire state had stood
for years as the Gibraltar of Democracy.
View of the Course to Take.
Il believe" declared Mr. Hill "that the
course for us To take is TO declare for in
ternational bimetallism and stop there"
Aside from the silver question, Mr. Hill
went on, why had this platform gone into
the greenback question; why had IL gone
into the question of bonds He had hoped
that the counsels of wise, calm. coohcaded
men would pre- ;ail. When he had finished
New York lead in three cheers for him.
Villas of Wisconsin took the stand and
the convention became disOrderly. Villas
was followed by Russell Of Massachusetts
and then Bryan took the platform to close
the debate for the silver men. He was re
ccived with tremendous applause which
lasted FOR some time.
Bryan's speech was full of cloquence.
and ON its conclusion his nomination was
freely predicted

When the speechmaking was over Hill
offered the minority substitute for the
financial plankin the platform. The roll
was called and Il was voted down-nays

The announcement of the vote gave the
silver men grounds for applause. because
IL was the first vote directly on the finan-
cial question and showed six more than
the necessary two-thirds To nominate.
The next vote taken was on Hills resolu-
tion commanding the administration.
