This was victory for the A. p. AS.
and the result was greeted with great
cheering from that side of the house.
The report of the committee on creden-
tials was then adopted.
The report of the committee on per-
manent organization and order of bus
mess was then read by Mr.. Booth. 1t
made the temporary officers permanent
with the addition of Charles Little as
assistant secretary. Charles Q. john
son moved that the report be not adopt
ed, and that instead the convention pro-
coed to the election by ballot of a per-
manent chairman and permanent Sec
| rotary.
Mr.. Irwin objected to revolutionary
methods being introduced into the con-
| vention. Things should be conducted
! in decency and in order. II firebrands
are to be constantly thrown into this
| convention II will return against us to
| harm us in the future. No portion of
the party should be ignored or eliminat-
ed, and all factions should be repre-
| sented as delegates to the state con-
vention. No discourtesy should be
shown to the present chairman of the
| convention.
Mr.. johnson held that this is a proper
| proceeding to come before the conven-
ton. With all due respect to Mr.. Irwin,
| he would say that several delegates
| told him their votes for chairman had
| not ben recorded as they had desired to
have them recorded. There should be
full and free expression on this prop
| osition.
Mr.. SWEET said If the other side want
ed division, let II be taken. He NOV
| ed to table the amendment. A vote
was taken and the chairman decided
that the amendment was tabled. Mr..
SWEET then moved that the temporary
organization be made permanent The
ayes and noes were called for on this
| question by roll call, and the roll call
was proceeded with. 1t resulted:
| Ayes.'.'. ........... ..................60
Noes. ......... $3.50. .........63
This was another victory for the re-
| ligious part of the convention. 1t was
| then moved to elect a chairman F. J.
M Rowe placed in nomination Joseph
| Galloway. Wilbra M. SWEET placed in
nomination w. o. Clymo, the present
chairman. The ballot was proceeded
| with and resulted:
| Clymo...... ......... ......... .,.,..6I
The election of Mr.. Galloway was
made unanimous. Messrs. Charles Q.
| Johnson and George Pascoe escorted
Mr.. Galloway to the chair amid deaf
ening cheers. Mr.. Galloway said the
honor was one he never expected to
reach. He had been a staunch repub-
lican for Is years. and to the best of his
: ability he would preside in the best in
tereslts of the parity of the state. A
vote of thanks was extended Mr.. ely
mo for the able manner in which ne
had presided over the deliberations of
the temporary organization. Matt
Brown, Charles Little and Charles ..
| johnson were placed in nomination for
secretaries. Mr.. Johnson declined and
Mr AT,. ID
made secretaries.
The report of the committee on plat
form was then called for. Charles O.
Johnson moved that another committee
of nine be now appointed on resolu-
lions and platform. After some dis
cussion Mr.. Johnson withdrew the mo-
ton. Sewell Davis, chairman of the
committee on platform, then read the
resolutions. Mr.. Davis said that the
resolutions offered by Mr.. SWEET had
been substantially Incorporated in the
platform, and the resolutions Offered
by Mr.. Johnson had also been SUBJ
stantially incorporated, with the ex-
ception of one paragraph. Mr.. Davis
said he hoped all differences would be
healed up, and for that reason he did
not desire to ignore the resolution of
Mr.. johnson without explaining to him
why 1t was done. In place of Mr.. John
sons resolution calling on the Mon
tana delegates to st. Louis to with
draw from the convention in case
silver plank is not put in the platform,
the committee suggested a resolution
calling on the Montana delegates not
to assist in passing any tariff plank
which does not incorporate a provision
for the relief of silver. In the opinion
of the committee more could be accom-
plished than by walking out of the |
convention.
Malcolm ellis moved that the report |
be adopted as read. 1t was unanimous |
ly adopted.
On motion of DR.. C. ". Norcross the
substitute offered by the committee |
was accepted in place of the one offered |
by Mr.. Johnson.
Resolved, That the republicans of Sill |
yer Bow county in convention assembled |
proudly reaff1rm their devotion to the |
principles of the national republican par |
ty as embodied in the pledges contained |
in the platform of 1892 for bimetallism, |
protection and reciprocity.
Resolved, That we express our consci- |
entious belief in and demand for the free |
and unlimited coinage of silver and gold |
at a ratio of 16 to l by the American gov |
eminent without regard to the action of |
any other nation.
Resolved, That we believe with equal |
sincerity in the enactment of a revenue |
for protection as well as revenue so ad- |
justed to give to American labor it's /
highest possible reward and to American |
capital all necessary safeguards from free /
foreign competition.
Resolved, That In the policy of reci- /
procity as advocated by James G. Blaine
and adopted by the republican party, we
see a safe and certain method of increas-
ing our foreign trade and decreasing the /
cost of living in this country at one and /
the same time through commercial ar
rangements by which we may command
good prices for our own products and Sc
cure non-competing goods for home con-
sumption at a greatly decreased cost.
Resolved. That the republicans of Sill
yer Bow county demand that the republic
can party adopt a policy of honest BIZ
metallism. protection and reciprocity as
soon as it shall be restored to power and
not one without the other two.
