the convention to order. At that time the
body OF the hall was about two-thirds fun
and there probably was not 20 persons in
the galleries. The deputy sergeants-at-
arms set the example OF laying aside their
coats and vests and moving around in
their shirt sleeves. Many Of the delegates
adopted a like costume.
There were several women seated
among the delegates. The Rev. Mr..
Smith was selected to lead IN prayer. and

ceedings.
St. Louis, July 2S.-The national silver
convention was called to order at 1920
o'clock by Chairman ST. John. He stated
that the Rev. DR.. Joseph Nichols, who had
been asked to open the proceedings with
prayer, had suddenly been called from the
city, and therefore the convention would
not have the pleasure of listening to him.
II trust we are al in the spirit of
prayer?" he added. affirmative ap-
plause)
Mr. Newlands Of Nevada stated that he
understood the expenses of the conven-
tion had not been provided for, and moved
that a committee on ways and means be
appointed to provide the necessary funds.
This was agreed to.
Chairman st. John then introduced to
the convention its vice chairman. Hon.
Charles A. Towne of Minnesota. He was
received with great applause. He said
that the condition of the country was most
grave.
He stated that patriotism had been al
most forgotten glory has been narrowed
to success; money has become God.
(Applause) But the day of regeneration
is at hand. (Cheers) We are in the very
vortex of events; we are making American
history to-day. The American people are
serving notice that they are about to take
charge of their own affairs. Great cheer
ing.) Mr.. Towne's allusion to the grand
old man of Colorado, set the convention
on its legs in a tumult Of applause. A
vast majority of the democratic cOnven-
ton at Chicago, he said, was in favor of
free silver. Fortunate democracy! Thus
to become the heir of this great regenera-
ton Happy democrat! To find himself
thus in possession of the results of the
great movement, without having labored
for years in its behalf and without being
compelled to forego the amiable prejudices
of party affiliations" (Applause.)
Mr.. Towne paid a glowing tribute to
the worth, character and ability of Mr.
Bryan. saying that his nomination demon
strated the truth of the statement that
accidents.
Bryan represents an idea, he stands
for cause.-the cause of humanity
against injustice, the cause Of the masses
against the classes" (Applause) No rest
in the campaign was to be known by the
cohorts of silver, Mr.. ToWne said, until
the banners of victory had been planted
upon every outpost of the enemy He
who, three months ago, had predicted that
victory for free silver was possible in
1896 would have been set down for an en-
thusiastic dreamer; now it was not only
possible, but absolutely certain. Mr.
Towne pleaded with the convention to
make no mistake, but to ever hold the
cause above all things else, and closed
with an eloquent peroration.
Calls We're made for Gov. Stone of Mis-
lcontnued on Fifth Pagel.
