publican convention met here and en- % I.
dorsed Reeds candidacy for president
and declared against free silver. Hon.
Llewellyn Powers Of Houlton was NOM !.
mated for governor by reclamation.
The financial plank Of the resolutions Is
as follows Y B. 81
We are opposed to the free and unllm-
tied coinage Of silver except by interna-
tional cgreement, and until such agree
ment can be obtained we believe that the
present gold standard should be main

VIII Abolish the Two-thirds Rule.
# 'sThe two-thirds rule ought TO be
abolished and it will be abolished, !, said
Mr.. Bryan while waiting in the Unity
building Tor an interview with Governor
EAltgeld. sA few weeks ago could not
have talked 60 positively on this point
for the reason that the certainty Of our
controlling the national convention had
not materialized. Now, howeverJ as
the struggle for keeping Us from having
q majority Of the delegates has been
given up by the gold men, ] can speak
more confidently There is no doubt in
the world that the silver delegates will
have sense enough to abolish the rule.
Have we hopes Of winning? Yes,
sir J; positively we have. The Republi-
cans may straddle at ST. Louis, as it. is
said they will, but q straddle will not
deceive the silver Republ icans who are
sound on the money question. : =
