Chicago, July 7.-Montana's delegates

day. reaching their places after q ter

door. The little blue sign designating

Hill, Montana cast her six votes in the
Affirmative.

to be subordinate to this.
The Montana delegates furnished the
throng at the Auditorium Annex with a
treat tonight. The Boston & Montana
band was assembled In the main cor
ridor at 8 o'clock. around the flag of the
Montana people. and for an hour played
a programme Of fine music. Between
the numbers the crowd cheered alter
nately for Montana and Bland. and
when the music was over there were
cheers for the band. which has won
rapid reputation for its admirable
work.

This was the first result Of this re-

sacrifice all else that the white banner
of silver may float about the party as
Its ensign and rallying cry. The con-
vention itself was a most inspiring
sight. Never before since the present
system of national conventions was in
augurated by the old national repub-

a convention met in such a capacious
and admirably adapted structure. The

four years ago. and whose defeat he
expressed his profound regret for to-
day. But the silver men. most or whom
had spoken for him in 1892 and who
recalled the fact with evident pride,

necessity which compelled them 10
take this course. contended that the
election of temporary chairman In
harmony with the majority was OF vital

utterances. IL was noticeable that

New York applauded the declaration
that Hill and Daniel should be hon.
ored together. There was an attempt
at demonstration when Waller
shouted that he would be the last man
to bolt but the silver men were very
chary OF giving any applause at the
conciliatory advances Of the gold men.
When Waller asked II the convention
was going to turn down David B. Hill,
after another tribute to Hill, there
were laughing cries OF I'VE are, We
are"
Adroltly he worked up to the climax
of his speech when he asked who II was
that proposed to turn down q man who
fought all his life for democracy.
Turn down David e. Hill?" he asked.
I'm Gods name Is this a democratic
eonvention?" He tried TO appease the
silver men by intimating that the
speech OF Hill would not be offensive.
but when he asked "Will you turn him
down." there were cries Of I'VE will"
Very we'll" he shouted defiantly.
Turn him down and we will tight you
here and elsewhere" This unmaskiug
OF the position OF the gold men was
met with a storm Of Misses and one Of
the silver men shouted "One vote for

peal to the majority not to use brute
