the world, when we say that at thii
parting of the ways we cling to the
faith-let the name go where it WILL
This bold defiance caused the silver
men to break forth into wild ap.
plause. Cries of "Time. Time!n By
the gold bugs were met by yells o,
"Go on! Go on!" from the galleries.
Chairman Thurston was compelled
to break in on the convention. "The
chair asks" he said, "that respectful
attention to be given to the reading OF
this declaration, which will not re-
ceive much attention elsewhere"
| The conclusion of the address de-
clared the silver position in this lam
guage:
| Accepting the fiat of this conven-
tion as the present purpose of the
party, We withdraw from this conven-
| tion and return to our constituents the
authority with which they invested us,
| believing that we will better discharge
their trust by this act which restores
to them the authority unsullied than
| by giving cowardly and insincere in
dorsement to the greatest wrong ever
wilfully attempted within the Repub-
lican party, once the redeemer of the
people, but now about to become their
| oppressor, unless providentially re-
strained"
Then came scene of confusion,
"Put him out! Put him out!" was
Kissed. "Traitorl Traitor!" shouted
others.

Senator Teller now arose and at
tempted to make his way out of the
hall by the north entrance. Something
stopped him. Thurston shook his
hand. Cannon came up about the
same time, shook hands with Chair
man Thurston and also with Senator
Foraker. Something was said, but the
Colorado Senator and the Senator
from Utah started down the aisle, fol-
lowing Dubois and the Idaho delega-
tionJs part af the Montana delegation, !,
the full delegations from Colorado and
Nevada and a small army of news
paper men. The convention was in
the widest sort of an uproar. But the
silver men made their way out, al
though they were interrupted by num-
erous persons trying to say word to
them.
THEY HOLD THE BALANCE.
The declaration of independence
read by the boilers was signed by four
United States Senators. That meant
that no matter whether the Republi-
cans are successful in their presiden-
tial ticket and in the lower house of
Congress, they cannot hope to enact
any tariff legislation for six years to
come.
This exciting scene was followed by
the nominations OF candidates for the
presidency.
The secretary proceeded to call the
roll of States. There was no response
until the State of Iowa was reached,
when Mr.. Henderson said:
"Mr. Chairman, Mr.. John N. Baldwin
of Council Bluffs will speak for Iowa.
Mr.. Baldwin was greeted with ap-
plause.
The Chairman: The next State will |
be called.
Kansas, Kentucky and Louisiana
were called, no one responding. Upon
the call of Maine Henry Cabot Lodge |
of Massachusetts took the speakers
stand and nominated Reed.
E. Littlefield of Maine seconded MIR. |
Reeds nomination.
Cauncey M. Depew of New York
nominated Levi P. Morton for Presi-
dent.
Senator elect Foraker of Ohio nom
mated for President William McKin-
ley.
Mr.. Hepburn of Iowa was called to |
the chair, and Mr.. Thurston seconded |
McKinley's nomination.
Governor Hastings of Pennsylvania |
nominated Senator M. 8. Quay for
President.
