in calling the convention to order, made
no speech simply reading the list of tenn
porary officers selected Upon assuming
the duties of temporary chairman, w. A.
Baylor made strong speech in fayen,o
tlaestf free coinage of silver. It was re-
|icniVGd with great aDDlauSe, .....&f
/. At the conclusion Of Col. Taylor's
speech delegate secured the floor and
expressed his qualification at the disap-
proval expressed by the convention OF
Grover Cleveland, whom he character
lied as the Benedict Arnold" Of the
Democratic party. He was hissed down
at that point and the report Of the COM
mittee on rules called for and read.
The committee on permanent organ.
ization presented it's report which was
adopted without amendment and COM
mittee sent to escort the chairman, Gen.
A. ". Warner, to the hall.
lii taking the chair as permanent
chairman, Gen. Warner made a snort
speech His only criticism of the present
national administration was that in that
it had created an enormous debt in q
time Of peace. He SAID he believed Maj.
Mckinley was honest in his money
theory, but he could no more bring pros
perity to the nation that way than ne
could life himself by his boot straps. !.
The report of the credentials commit
tee seating the silver faction delegates in
Stark county, the only place where there
was contest, was adopted without op-
position. A minority report recommend
ing the addition to the majority report

plank and other resolutions denouncing
the Republican administration Of the
state was presented by ]. c. Patterson OF

the unit rule resolution. This was also
tabled. The roll call Of counties was de-
manded on the question Of adopting the
