enthusiastic cries Of NO. no." came from
the delegates in the eastern and southern
states.
There was deep feeling. almost pathos in
the Senator's voice, and those nearest
could detect the glimmer of tears, when he
said there We're heartburnings and grief in
the sacrifice which he and his colleagues
were to make for their consciences.
Another demonstration arose when Sena-
tor Teller folded his arms across the pink
rosebud on his coat and sank into his seat
The cheer began this time with the silver
men and spread to the galleries, and caught
up in it's whirl many of the gold delegates
who were on their feet from admiration,
not of the cause, but of the man, and, this
time, the Kisses were very few.
The demonstration was followed by loud
cries for Foraker, Foraker from all parts
of the hall.
The Senator-elect from Ohio, the chair
nan Of the resolutions committee arose,

some of those from Tennessee and other

let the name go where IL will We hold that
this convention has seeded from the truth;
that the triumphs of such secession would
be the eventual destruction of our freedom
and our civilization. To that end this peo-
pie will not knowingly follow any political
party, and We choose TO take our place i'm
the ranks of the great mass of cit
izens who realize that the hour has
come for justice. Did deem this
issue less important to humanity We
would yield since the associations OF
all our political lives have been ntertwined
with the men and the measures of this party
of past mighty achievements But the peo-
pie cry aloud for relief. They are bending
beneath a burden growing heavier with
the passing hours. Endeavor no longer
brings its just reward: fearfulness takes the
place of courage and despair usurps the
throne of hope. and unless the laws Of the
country and the policies of the political
parties shall be converted into mediums of
redress, the effect of human desperation
may some time he witnessed here as in
other lands and in other ages.
Accepting the fiat of this convention as
the present purpose of the party We with
draw from this convention to return to
our constituents the authority with which
they invested us, believing that we have

the absolute ruin OF the producers Of the
country and finally of the nation itself
'The American people not only favor BIZ
metallism from tradition and interest, but
from that wise instinct which has always
been manifest in the affairs OF a people
destined for the worlds leadership. Under
the operation of our great demand for ad-
vancement We have become to other ma
tfons the greatest debtor nation of the
world. We pay the vast charges which
every year accumulate against US in the
clearing house OF the world, with the
money Of the world. procured by the dis
posal of our commodities in the markets OF
the world
I'VE are a nation Of producers. Our cred
tors are nations of consumers. Any sys-
TEN of international or national finance
which elevates the price of the human
product makes our burden lighter and gives
promise of that day when it shall be en-
tirely lifted and our country freed finan-
cially. as 1t is politically, from the domina-
tion of monarchy and foreign autocracy
Any system of finance which tends to de-
preciate the price of human productions
which We must sell abroad but in so far
adds to the burden OF our debt and conveys
a threat of the perpetual servitude of the
producers or our debtor nation to the con-
sumers of creditor nations.
ITO US IL is a folly without a parallel that
this country or any political party therein
should deliberately accept a money system
which enriches others at our cost. History
philosophy, mo 'als-all join with the COM
monest instinct of self-preservation in de-
manding that the United States shall have
a just and substantially unvarying stand
ard composed of all available gold and
silver. and with it our country will progress
to financial enfranchisement. But with
a single gold standard the country
will become the hewers of wood and the
drawers of water for the consumers in
creditor nations of the earth.
ITO such IAN unholy end we will
not lend ourselves. Dear as has been the
republican name to its adhcrents, that name
is not so dear as the faith Itself and we do
not sacrifice one jot or title of the mighty
principles by which republicanism has up
lifted the world when We say that at the
parting of the ways We cling to the faith.

YelIs and Kisses.
After he said Il must sever my connec-
ton with the political party which makes
the gold plank one OF the principal articles

his eyes around the hall. For an instant

to impress itself, then it sunk home and

policy of reciprocity as the twin brother
of protec ton also came in for round
of applause. Protection to the sugar in
dustry aroused the southern delegates to
cheers, and the merchant marine plank
brought the Maine, Maryland and Massa-
chusetts delegations to their feet with
three cheers.
The first sentence Of the platform plsdg-
ing the party TO sound money started

Senator Teller. as he stood on the plat
form to make his final protest to the re-
publican party against the adoption of a
geld standard policy, was a striking fig
ure. Tall. gaunt, he wore the old fashioned
frCck coat of the old-time statesman. His
face Is deep furroWed with lines of
thought, and no one who beheld him as he
stood surrendering all his associations for a
deep conviction on a single topic, doubted
his honesty of purpose. His face is thin,
his eye gray and his forehead high. He
was evidently deeply aroused by the emo
tions that stirred him. and his gestures at
times were almost fierce.
But his gentle tone was one of sadness
and regret. He was given most respect
full hearing by the delegates, but except
for those in sympathy there was no DEM
oEstration on the floor in the early part Of
his address.
The galleries, however, were at times
vociferous, and when he asserted the pow
er of the United States to control their own

Senator Lodge of Massachusetts, from his
place on the floor, seconded the motion.
This motion, which is not debatable, had
the effect of calling off further debate, and
Senator Teller demanded a roll call of
states. His demand was quickly supported
by Senator Mantle on behalf Of Montana
and Delegate Cleveland Of Nevada.

Temperance.
We sympathize with all wise and legiti-
mate efforts to lessen and prevent the evils
of intemperance and promote morality.
Rights of Women.
The republican party is mindful of the
rights and interests of women. Protection
of American industries includes equal op-
portun.ties, equal pay for equal work and
protection to the home. We favor the ad-
mission of women to wider spheres of use
funess, and welcome their cooperation in

Such are the principles and policies of
the republican party By these principles

into execution. We ask for them the con-

Confident alike in the history of our great
party and in the justice of our cause, we
present our platform and cur candidates. in
the full assurance that the election will
bring victory to the republican party and
prosperity to the people of the United

Many Expressions Cheered.
The audience and delegates followed the
reading with intense interest.
The reference to the administ tra ton of
Benjamin Harrison evoked the first
demonstration. but louder still came the
roar when words of the platform pledged
the party again to the doctrine of pro-
lection in the interest of American labor
and American industry.
The reference to the restoration uf "thc
