This threw the convention into intense

EXCITEMENT COMMENCES.
The excitement Of the night was pre-
cipitated by a minute-speech, made by
Sheriff J. w Williams, Of southampton
which preceded a motion TO the effect
that. before the delegates recommended
by the districts were voted upon, they
should be asked 10 publicly say whether
they would. II elected. carry out the In
structions contained in the platform. This
was aimed al the soundmoney men
chosen in the Second District. Mr.. VIII
liams was I'm favor of knowing where
every man stood before he was endorsed
by the convention.
Several delegates were soon on their
feet 10 oppose such an extreme course.
After one or two others had spoken. Col
one Lawrence Marye, OF Lynchburg,
assembled the rostrum. and I'm an impas-
stoned two-minute speech opposed the
notion which he wanted laid on the
table. He took it that only men OF honor
and integrity had been chosen. and he,
as n silver man, was willing to let them
20 without any such declaration "a was
sought. He declared that it would be
a reflection on the men chosen to adopt
this course, and said IT was beneath the
dignity Of Virginia gentlemen TO be
brought before the bar and thus cate
chised. (ADDlause)
He believed those chosen would surren-
der their commissions before they would
submit to such an indignity. The mo-
ton Of Mr.. williams was lost.
Mr.. NJ. Glennan. now that the resolu-
ton had been lost, addressed the con-
vention briefly. on behalf Of himself and
associate. He said that, under the unit
rule, the chairman Of the State delega-
ton would cast his vote for free silver,
but If the delegates had 10 vote indlydu-
ally, he would certainly vote as his poo-
pie wished. This brought expressions
OF disapproval from several silver men.
Mr. Glennan concluded by saying the
responsibility would have TO rest whore
II belonged. If he had 10 vote his own
sentiments, he would certainly do so.
CONGRESSMAN SWANSON.
This brought Congressman Swanson TO
his feet, and he made n vigorous
speech. appealing to the silver men 70
have the courage Of their convictions,
and take. the victory that was within
their grasp. Addressing himself 10 Mr..
Glennan. Mr.. Swanson reminded him
that he had not been elected a delegate,
Richmond dispatch. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1884-1903, 1896-06-05

but simply recommended by the dele
cation from his district. Only the general
convention could elect. Dir. Swanson
was vociferously cheered.
The COngressman's remarks did not
please Mr.. j. f. West. OF Nansemond, the
other sound-money delegate from the Sc
cOnd and he rose to state his position
He did not go far before he reminded MI
Swanson that the latters advice was not
wanted This angered the silver men
and hundreds were on their feet In a
minute. The widest disorder reigned.
Chairman Woods raped loud and long
but in vain. for order The point was
made that Mr. West was out of order in
that no motion was before the conyen-
ton. This gentleman insisted upon re-
tanning the floor and did so. The young
Nansemond Democrat was piled witt
questions, and several members suggest
ed that he would better resign If he was
unwilling TO obey the instructions of the
convention.
An allusion Of Mr.. Vests to gag-rule
brought Senator Flood 10 his feet. and.
with blood in his eye, he insisted that Mr..
West be ruled OFF his feet Things had
gotten into a chaotic state, when Major
Daniel mounted chair, and appealed to
his friends TO hear Mr. West. This had
the desired effect, and Mr. West proceed
ed TO make his explanation. His position
was the same as that Of Mr.. Glennan
Mr.. Lipscomb, Of Alexandria county, ask
ed Mr. West TO save the convention the
pain OF rejecting his nomination by re-
signing, but he held his ground.
FINALLY DISPOSED OF.
Finally. Mr.. Swanson offered the fol-
lowing resolution, which was adopted
and disposed OF the matter:
Resolved. That the chairman Of the
Virginia delegation be directed TO cast
the entire vote Of the State Of Virginia
in the Chicago convention on all questions
as majority OF its delegates may de-
termine.
This matter disposed Of to the satisfac-
ton OF all. MI Lloyd Smith, Of Northum-
berland. offered the following, which was
received with a shout. and adopted:
Resolved, by the Democrats Of Virginia
In convention assembled That we would
hail with enthusiastic delight the nomi-
nation of our great senator. the Hon.

tors District and Mt Large.
The night session was the most ex-
citing Of the three The proceedings had
hardly gotten well under way when the
free-silver forces renewed their fight for
absolute victory. and the scenes that
followed were stirring, indeed. During
the first hour after supper the Stonewall
band gave a complimentary concert
which was greatly enjoyed by the weary
delegates, who were coming In for the last
hours OF their labors. This is one Of the
best bands in Virginia. and the familiar
southern airs played by it were greeted
with shouts OF approval.

and he came forward amid cheers.
Mr.. Chairman and fellow Democrats
OF the Third Congressional District" said
Mr. MunfJrd, without any expectation OF
being called upon TO make a speech at
this time, and Notwithstanding your very
fattering honor. l would not respond, but
for the fact that ! was fearful that my
silence would be misconstrued. l need not
tell those who know me in this little
family quarrel Of our that / am a DEM

nee Of the Chicago convention, whether
he is our friend. a silver man. or the

said: Don't listen TO men when they
tell you that no hard-m0ney man can
vote for some other kind Of money man.
These are not the teachings Of Democracy.
There never was a moment in the history
OF this country when it was 50 important
for the Democratic party TO stand with a
united front to meet the Republican party.
Let us 60 back to our homes united in
the determination to carry forward 10
