in the galleries attempted to drown the
disapproval with their cheers. but were
unable to do so.
A Row in Wisconsin.
A big row occurred when Wisconsin
was called. General Bragg announced
that he was instructed by the majority
of the Wisconsin delegation to cast no
vote. One of the silver delegates chal-
lenged this and insisted on call of the
roll Of the state. The result was that
10 delegates refused to vote. Senator
Money made the point of order that in
structions to a delegation to vote as a
unit could not stifle the will Of any who
desired to vote. General Bragg climbed
one one of the chairs of the Ohio dele.
cation to protest but the maddene6
Buckeyes ordered him down. New
York and v Vsrmont offered him chair
in their delegations. General Bragg
made his statement as to the return Of
Wisconsin delegation and was replied
to from the platform by Delegate
Dockery, one of the silver hotspurs from
Wisconsin. He aroused great enthus-
iasm by declaring that if Wisconsin's
will was stifled here it would be heard
for silver in November.
The Ruling of White.
The silver -tongued Tammany orator,
ex-senator Grady, made a fiery protest
against ruling which he contended
would practically abrogate the unite
rule. The delegates grew still
as Senator White, the chairman,
finally ruled that the unit rule
instructions did not contemplate the
refusal Of delegations to vote. He ruled
that all silent votes should be considered
absent votes, but that every delegate
present had right to have their votes
registered if they desired to vote.
This ruling was loudly cheered a. II

CHICAGO, July 1.-THE populace be-

iseum, in anticipation of renewal of
the exciting incidents of the convention
but the legions who were to do the
fighting, came slowly. 1t was after
midnight when the fighting ceased, and
many of the leaders had been in coun-
Gil all night There were clans to be
marshalled, broken lines to be formed
anew, strategy to be devised, booms to
be fostered and booms to be checked.
The leaders hardly got a wink of sleep,
while the rank and file of the delegates
slept like weary battle battered soldiers

on their arms. They came back to the
field hardly refreshed, but full of fight
and resolution. The gold men took
their places, such of them as came, sui
lenly and bitterly. The extent
of the revolt in the East
against the platform, and the re-
fusal of the Eastern gold delegations,
and that of Wisconsin, headed by that
SCARED political veteran General Bragg,
who loved Cleveland "for the enemies
he had made" came home with a realiz-
ing sense to the party leaders, and they
planned with skill to prevent their fol-
lowers from being carried away by their
emotions. The action of the gold men
'made it vital that the man to carry the
banner Of the new creed should be able
to rally to his back all the silver ele-
ments.
The generals of the Bland boom were
determined to push the fight. Delay,
they appreciated, might be fatal.
Rumors to the effect that the Bryan
boom had been engineered by the anti
Bland managers, in the interest of the
ultimate nomination of Teller, few
thick and fast, but the friends Of the
"boy orator of the Platte" said If such
was the case, the movement had gotten
beyond the control of those who had
manipulated it in the first instance, and
would sweep the Nebraskan to the
goal.
There were but few demonstrations
IN
order. A big Oil portrait of Boies,
backed BY silk American flag, was
paraded through the pit, but it created
hardly ripple.
Hill Was Not There.
The leaders came in quietly. Mr.
Whitney walked with group of the
New York delegation, but it was an.
nounced that Senator Hill, like Achilles
sulked in his tent The New England
delegations generally were thin. The
battle had gone against them and they
appeared only to hesitate as to whether
they should remain, silent and mute
when then were asked to participate In
\ the nomination of candidate on plat
Norm to which they could not be recon
SIled, or to physically withdraw from
the convention.
At 1887 Chairman White Of Cali
fornia, who had recovered the use o1
his voice, stepped to the front of tht
stage. Running his eye for a couple Of
seconds over the crowd, he glanced
down at the battered delegations i'll thu

shuffiing feet the vast audience aros'
and listened to Rev. DR.. Green, th'
chaplain, petition to the white throne
for righteousness and peace. Chairman
White then announced that the con
vention was still in the call of states TO
nominations.
Pattison Placed In Nom nation.
Tbereupon Mr.. Harrity of Pennsyl

mittee, mounted his chair and placed il

SEND copies of this issue of the
HERALD to your friends in the east,
that they may know what Pullman
is and who the business men who
comprise it are. Pullman is proud
of her business men; she is proud Of
her schools and of her churches, Of
her Is artesian wells, her elegant
homes, her palatial public buildings,
and of the magnificent scope OF
fertile farming country tributary to
it, and she invites the attention Of
every eastern man and woman who
is looking for the garden spot of
the golden northwest. The Palouse
country is not an untried expert
ment, but the many years that
farming operations have been car
ried on within it's borders prove
conclusively that AS a grain and
fruit producing country it has no
superior and few equals on the face
of the globe. Drouth and blight
are unknown, year after year seeing
the crops produced in undiminished
quantity and quality. 1t needs no
booming, and a plain, matter-ot-
fact exposition of truths is all that
the case requires. Socially Pull
man is all that could be desired,
and every year many families move
to the town because of its social and
educational privileges. Place your
faith in Pullman; it will not fail
you.

9TH DISTRICT REPRESENTA-
TTVFS

On next Tuesday the voter will
not cast ballot of greater import
ance to himself, to his town and to
his county, than his vote for repre-
sentative. In placing the tx" af-
ter the names of the nominees for
this office he should exercise his
best judgment, for it is point
where judgment must be exercised.
To be able to properly represent
the people man must have pecul-
lar qualifications fitting him for the
responsibility, and the men who
make good representatives are few
and far between. The republicans
Of the 9TH district realized this at
the time Of their nominating con-
vention. and VIM. Chambers, of
Pullman, and ". A. Struppler, of
Uniontown, were nominated with
out dissenting voice, the fact be-
ing evident to all that they were
the men for the people.
VIM. Chambers is a pioneer in
the history Of Pullman and Whit
man county, and from the day he
first set foot upon Whitman's soil
he has been identified with its en-
terplise and it's growth. From the
first he has had extensive dealings
with the producers Of the county
as merchant and as grain dealer,
and there are none but say his deal
ings are ALWAYS fair, honest and
business-like. 1t has been often
truthfully said that the state had
not his peer as a business man, his
Judgment being always the best.
1t was this keen business ability
that marked Mr.. Chambers as
most available candidate for rep
rssentative, his extensive dealings
with the farming community, of
which the county is largely COM
posed, putting him in position to
know their needs in matters of leg
islation, and the fact that he has
always proven friend to the far

ROGERS AND THE TIDE
LANDS.

In answer to an editorial appear
ing in the Tribune. S. J. Chadwick,
of Colfax, member of the state land
commission, sent that paper the fol-
lowing, but as the facts contained
therein would make a big puncture
in the Campaign argument" of the
local wind bag, it declined to pub
lish it till latter election"
Colfax, Oct. %, 1896.
Editor Tribune:-In your issue
of October 18th you say editorially,
quoting John r. Rogers speech:
1.-The land commission has sold tide
lands valued when the state was
admitted at millions. Of all that
has been received fol these valu-
able lands the state now has the
princely sum of $500. The re-
ceipts have all been used for Eek
penses.
Mr.. Rogers has been severely in
dicted and clearly convicted of man
ufacturing all his political argu-
ment with reference to the land
commission. The tide lands of the
state were appraised by LEGAL APP
praisers in the several counties I'M
der the act of March &c, 1890 Tdie
lands are sold at the appraised val
ue to improvers and owners of
abutting upland under preference
right of purchase. No discretion is
left to the board; it is a right of
purchase, not an option of sale. Act

JOHN B. ALLEN, at the auditor
ium Tuesday night, made a speech
the like of which has not been
heard in Pullman during the cam
paign. 1t was a mastery produc-
ton, and the audience which was
the largest of the campaign listen
ed with wrapt attention from be-
ginning to end, occasionally giving
vent to their feelings in bursts of
spontaneous applause. The ex-
senator is a favorite in Pullman,
and his polished manner and pleas
ing style of oratory made the facts
which he so clearly demonstrated
sink deep into every heart. He is
q thorough republican, consistent
protectionist and bi-metallist, and
plainly demonstrated to his hear
ers the evils to follow the adoption
OF silver mono-metallism as advo-
Gated by Bryan. This policy
coupled as it would be with free
trade, must result in great calam-
ity for the entire union, and for
the northwest in particular.
