Aor oHo Jceis OF the galleries than 90 ior
the expressions of Republicans
But at last when he nanod "tbo silver
tongued orator from Nebraska, William
Jennings Bryan, " the galleries were ap-
peascd and indulgod in another demon
stration.
Matthews Name Presented.
! When Indiana was called, Senator Tur-
pie made his way to the stage and placed
IN nomination the choice of the Hoosior
state, Governor Claude Matthew'S.
After paying a glowing tribute to Gov
ernor Matthews Senator Turpie said;
'Our candidate believes in the immedi-
ate restoration Of silver to the full fran
ohise Of the mint; that the standard silver
dollars should be coined without restric
tion at tho same ratio of 16 to as former
ly by law established, and when so coined
that it shall be a legal tender for all debts
81 He is not in favor of awaiting the ac-
tiOn Of European nations upon this sub
ject and perceiyes no reason for deferring
OF postpOning our legislation for the re-
monetization Of silver, to suit the conyen-
1ence assent OF agreement of other govern
ments
"Ardently sympathizing with the re-
public OF Cuba, he is as strongly attached
60 the doctrine Of Monroe.
An American in every fiber, he would
resist foreign aggression In any form IIo
heartily denounoesas un-Amerioan the Ro-
publican platform adopted not long since
at st. Louis, which would maintain and
continue In this country that alien rule of
foreign policy, the English single standard
OF gold, and which proposes at this time TO
reduce the government and the people OF
tho United States, financially, to their an
oient condition as a colonial possession OF
the British crown. He thinks that tho
freedom and independence of the mint and
coinage Of the United States ore as neces-
sary TO our national prosperity as any 9TH
or of our liberties-these rights, once ours,
now lost, from whatever cnuses must and
shall be regained "
Senator Turpie suffers from palsy. aud
though q most effective speaker in the SEN
ate his voice was inadequate in such
vast hall. Besides, he spoke from manu-
script. Tho galleries grew noisy, and he
could hardly be heard above the din. To
add to the other unfortunate circumstances
fireworks and mortars were being fired
outside the Coliseum, and these explosives
added to the disturbance.
Confusion Reigns.
To still further add to the confusion,
any sort Of credentials They oyerfowed
from the galleries into the pit and crowd
ed along the side aisles. It was estimated
that fully 20, 600 people were in the build
ing, and nothing could be heard above the
indescribable hum of so many voices. In
vain the chairman cried for order In vain
the police and other assistant sergeants-at-
arms charged the aisles. The crowds
would not be quiet. When at last Senator
Turpie mentioned the name Of the Indi-
ana governor, the hoosier delegation
mounted their chairs and cheered. A fow
tin horns sounded from the galleries. and
here and there flag was waved, but the
demonstration was brief The noise con-
tinued, and the chairman OF the Indiana
delegation was so enraged that he moved
that the convention adjourn. Another in
dignant delegate asked that the galleries
be cleared but when the sergeant-at-arms
threatened to clear them the galleries on
" hooted. Then the sergeant-at-arms held
another threat oyer the spectators.
He announced that unless the galleries
preserved order the session today would be
held behind closed doors, and no one
wonld be admitted. This threat seemed to
bring the thousands Of ticket holders to a
realizing sense Of the fact that they were
in the convention by sufferance. A few
more indignant protests from ex-senator
Martin Of Kansas and others and a final
word Of admonition from the chairman
sufiiced to effectively silence the crowds.
There was comparative quiet when Oscar
A. Trippett Of California arose 10 second
the nomination of Governor Matthews.
Boios' Name Presented.
Delegate Frederick White Of Iowa placed
Horace Boics in nomination. Mr. White,
who looked like plain farmer, proved TO
be forciblo speaker. He said in part;
II am authorized by the Democracy Of
Iowa TO present to this convention for the
nomination to the high Office Of president
the name of Horace Boies Of our state.
want TO assure this convention in advance
that this is not a result of any question of
mere local pride, nor Is il the result of any
consideration Of the question of mere
availability We ask you TO nominate the
candidate Of our choice upon far broader
grounds upon the broad ground that HOr-
ace Boies Is emphatioally broad man.
Those of us who know him best do not
hesitate, either here or elsewhere, to declare
with all the confidence that D thorough
knowledge Of the truth can inspire that he
Is a man Of the stanohest character, pos
sessing a powerful fFrsonality and equip
peu Wlln u combination OF mental quail
ties that will make him, If elected, an
ideal executive. Knowing as we all do
that the political situation Of the country
Is grave and ominous one this conven-
tion must not ignore nor evade the re-
sponsibility this situation creates, which is
to give to the American people a candi-
date the mention Of whose name wherever
known will carry with it an overwhelm-
ing strength and stand In case Of election
an unqualified guarantee for the entire
snfety in the management Of all public
affairs, the just settlement of every press
ing question and tho speedy inauguration
Of vigorous roign of exact justice"
He then spoke at length of Boies' quail
hcations and closed with the following
peroration:
1.-THE finger Of a kind fate points TO the
election Of Horace Boies. History seems to
be anxious TO repeat itself Give us the
man from Waterloo, and allies will flock
to his standard which will destroy Mark
Hanna's Napoleon No. as effectually as
the European allies destroyed the French
Napoleon No. 1. -
Mr.. White was attentively listened to,
