Prof. L. G. Bateman, of Maine, the

of that state. In doing SO he pro-
tested in behalf of the entire Maine

man there who will question his
ability. Bryan never saw the day
that he could swing an audience as
can Tom Watson. You all know
about his politics. It is as pure as it
is bright. 1t is true. As to his per-
sonal character, not man stands
higher in Georgia. There is not an
orator in the state of Georgia but is
afraid to meet him on the stump
not one. Now, he is the man, in my
humble judgment, that will hold the
Populists in the south together. 1
don't want to take up the time of
this convention by making further
talk, but I appeal to you to give us
Bryan and Tom Watson, and the
Democratic party will take down the

INDIANA SECONDS WATSON.
The clerk continued the calling of
the roll until Indiana was reached.
When Indiana was called, Mr.. Stock.
we'll took the platform and said:

When California was called the

nounced that her representative had

who took the platform and also Sec
onded Watson.
GEORGIA NAMES WATSON.
The secretary resumed the call of
the roll of states, with Connecticut
which had no candidate, and the
states of Delaware and Florida was
passed without any oratory. When
Georgia was reached Mr.. Murphy
from that delegation came upon the
platform and said:
"Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gen
tlemen of the Convention: II you

onded Mr.. Sewall. He brought out
an avalanche Of Kisses by saying that
when he had undertaken to walk in
the middle. of-the-road he had been
allowed to sleep in the middle.of the
road, and that his campaign expenses
had never been paid. Continuing
the relation of experience, he said
that when he was candidate Sew
all had sent him $500 for campaign
expenses. The speech was not at
all to the liking of the convention
and Mr.. Fogg left the platform amid
a storm of jeers and Kisses.
DoNNELLY is BITTER.
Ignatius Donnelly, of Minnesota,
eloquently seconded Watson's nomi-
nation in behalf of his state. The
whole movement, he said, was caused
by an instruction against the money
lenders, and it would be folly to
nominate man worth 100000
and interested in half the railroads of
New England. The Populists of
the country, he declared, rather than
vote for such man, would see him
500 miles below the lowest pit of
hell. He expressed the hope that
Watson's nomination would be made
unanimous. They were "willing to
swallow Democracy gilded with the
genius of Bryan" but they "could
not stomach plutocracy in the body
of Sewall."

The Silver Convention

When in January last the call was
issued for silver convention the
necessity for such a convention was
apparent.
The indications were that the Re.
publican party would declare in
favor of the present gold standard
and the continuatio of the prevail,
ing distrass, and the Democratic
party would either do the same, or
repeat the performance of 1892,
adopt straddle plank which could
be claimed to favor silver coinage be-
fore election and gold after the cleo
ton. This silver convention was
called to meet on the same day with
the Populist convention and its pur-
pose was to unite all the opponents
of the gold standard under one banner
and upon one electoral ticket.
The Republican party did meet
and declare in favor of gold. But
the Democrats, impressed with the
silver movement, did the lin Janu.
ary) unexpected thing and declared
for financial policy opposed to the
Republicans and at variance With
the party record. Since the avowed
and only purpose of the proposed
silver convention was to compel one
of the political parties to declare in
favor Of silver, there was nothing
for the convention to do, and it was
useless to hold it.
But it did meet, and for what pur-
poser
Called to order at the same time
that the Populist convention was rap
ped to order, the silverites continued
in session day after day, with no
business to transact. That his was
done for a purpose was plain to
everybody, but it does not appear
that the purpose for which it was
done was as well understood.
But it is all plain now, and the
events have justified the prediction
made By the Tribune, which was
that the convention was killing time
in order to endorse the Democratic
ticket just before the Populist con-
vention should come to a vote, in
hopes of then stampeding the Popu-
lists into like course.
This was the program, and it was
carried out to the letter.
That the hard headed Populisti
refused to be stampeded does not de.
tract from the brillisncy of the
scheme. But it was an utter failure.
In only one thing has it been a
success. 1t has shown conclusivelr
that the silver men want silver if one
of the old parties will give it, bus
they had rather for the country to
go to hades than to see the old par.
ties lose control Of the government.
