of being adopted. Mr.. Stevens with
drew the Endorsement of the Portland
plank. But thon came hitch. Mr.
Frank began to speak and the delegates
were soon cheering Bryan and Sewall as
Justify as they had just cheered Mr..
Clifford's resolution.
Mr.. Frank wanted to know what man
who had announced his intention of yot-
ing for Bryan and Sewall could not vote
for the resolution endorsing them
Who but the men who had never said
they would vote for the ticket were op-
posing its He didn't propose to be led
by Lombard htreet, Wall street, and the
Republican party. He wanted to send
news to Bryan and Sewall that the DEM
ocrats of this district were enthusiastic
in their support.
Mr.. WIN. ]. Chadhourne Of Alfred came
to Mr.. Franks aid. Mr.. Chadhourne's
speech had the real wild west flavor of
the Populists.
The dishonest gold bugs, the Wall
street. hell hounds and various other pso-
pie with equally picturesque names,
were denounced by MIR. Chadbourne.
When the government issues dollar,
whether it is is to 1 OF 90 to l, it is u dol
lar and what more do you want of it?
Pig tail tobacco was once money in
| this country. Whoever complained of
the weight of cop per cent as long as
three of them would pay for a drink.
| IT. nuO and loud apn1ouro Odd oboa,,,. If
this government issues any kind of mon
ey you can pay your debts. They've got
to take it, like the Dutohman's wife who
| was going to die because she could not
help herself, as the Dutehman put it.
Mr.. Chsdbourne couldn't understand why
newspapers woul1 tell such damnable
| lies about this question.
Now there are those people who can't
swallow the whale they make of the Chi
cago platform. Well, they'll get onto the
shore by and by. Somebody will vomit
them up. Who are the men who are so
particular about candidates. They are
the Mugwumps. men who never vote
twice conseoutively for the same party.
They are the men who want to be voted
| for, but nobody wants them.
A voioe-How about George Fred Will
liams, isn't he Mugwump?
Mr.. Chadbourne-Well, he's pretty
| deyiliah near it,
AT last came the voting. Tt WAS done
by show of hands, Mr.. MCGOWAN calling
| first for vote on Mr.. Franks resolu-
ton endorsing the ticket. Sixty-two
hands went ZIP in It's favor.
"Those opposed,' said the chairman,
will hold mp their hands,
Hold them way up" said young Mr..
Clifford, the secretary.
"Hold up both hands and then you
won't have enough shouted Luther
Roberts.
Sits 16 to l." came voice from the
back of the hall. The Bry an and Sewall
ticket was endorsed ga to % and the
show was over.
Mr.. MoGowan's method of putting The
question was the subject of some discus
sion afterward. Mr.. MCGOWAN said that
each set of resolutions was supported by
three members of the committee and that
1T seemed to him Mr.. Franks being the
first presented should be first to be act
ed upon. On the other hand it was
argned that Mr.. Clifford's resolution took
the place of Mr.. Stevens's which was in
the nature Of substitute and oonse-
quently it should be acted upon first. A
Mr.. Clifford was the last speaker, as be
replied briefly to Mr.. Frank, had his reso-
luton come flrst the fiokle-mindad dele
gates might have given 1t more than 90
votes. Perhaps the stampede might have
occurred after all. That is the view
some good Democrats seemed to take of
1t.
At noon, Hon. John B. Donovan en-
tertained many OF the prominent men
present with delicious lunch.
Mr. VIM. H. Clifford, Jr., attained his
majority only few days ago. His SER
vice in the convention is his entrance to
political life
Painchaud's band was in attendance
and made good music.
After the convention, Messrs. John
Scott and E. g. Plummer of Bath ad.
dressed the crowd.
