AFTERNOON SESSION.
Nominations of Bryan and Sewall Made by
 Reclamation.

Reclamation.
 The last session of the national silver convention attracted the largest attend- ance of spectators that has honored the convention. A large proportion of the wis., itors were ladies. At 3:55 o'clock Chair man St. John called the convention to order and introduced Rev. Dr. Haggerty, who invoked the divine blessing upon the convention, its proceedings sand the country.
 MT. Baker, chairman of the silver con- vention committee on conference, report ed the resolutions adopted in connection with the conferees from the pOpulist con- yention. He said the delegates of that body were fully in accord with the sem timents entertained by the convention; they earnestly desired to bring-ebout the reforms which are so necessary to the people of the United States. The time at their disposal, Mir. Baker said, was so brief that the committee had to content themselves with general statement of the sentiment animating them all The reading of the resolution adopted by the committee was received with applause Had the committees had twelve hours at their disposal, MT. Baker said, he had no doubt such an understanding could be reached as to details as to make sure the success in Mover r which all believed was theirs. (Cheers)
 MT. Shinn of Kansas moved that the report of the committee be accepted, adopted and the committee discharged. This was agreed to without debate or d- vision.
 Time Precious.
 A delegate sought recognition, but was suppressed by Chairman St. John, who said: "The regular order of business will be proceeded with. Time is too precious to waste on any interruptions. The chair cannot listen to the gentleman. The next business will be the report of the commit

II Is. In It's first idea, the guaranty to

the humiliation OF individual freedom.
II proposes to remedy what II calls

slavery OF labor. not by yindicating the
liberty Of the laboror. but by establish

This monstrous proposal the liberal
party IN England Is bound to resist

blood. And to the shedding OF blood the
matter is not unlikely to come In the
long run. For socialism Is rather a sect
than party, Its yotaries are animated
by a spirit akin 10 that OF religious en-

all to mourn for their beloved dead
and to pay fitting tribute to their
memory.
