bers of the press, who had lined the hail

distant section OF the hall. The excuse
was that the committee wanted ;he Use Of
hallway for air, but the fact that the Colo
RADIO senator's voice was plainly heard on
the outside was held to be the real reason
for the eviction of the press.
As the senator proceeded he was warmly
applauded by his followers.
Darlington, of Pennsylvania, replied
briefly to Teller, challenging his allusion
to the dctation of Lombard street. say
ing that this was a poor return for the
money, amounting to millions of dollars,
invested in the west by the men of the
east building railroads and other enter

he said, "and are surprised that you
should now want to pay us in money
worth only SO cents on the dollar.
COLORADO PAYS HER DEBTS.
"Colorado," responded Teller, "has al
ways paid her debts and will continue to
pay them. What we object to is paying
$2 for ever 81 we receive"
While Mott and Lemon were as vigor-
Qua as could be in protesrsGl agaiH2a "the
pressure" of the gold standard, they did
not state that they wonld go out of the
convention with Teller. They did say,
however, to members of the committee
afterward that they would all stand by
Teller, and, if defeated in the convention,
would declare themselves out of the party
and do the best they could for their peo-

Members of the committee, who came
out of the rooms, said that they never

tics.
Some of the silver men shed tears.
Cannon wept, crying aloud as he pleaded
for Utah, that no funeral could be 80 sad

about to smite them and cast them out.
Dubois was most vehement. Teller was

report it to the convention at s. p. m.
DECISION OF THE SILVER MEN.
The silver Republicans in the national
convention have practically decided that,
whatever they may do in the convention
or elsewhere, they will do nothing for
mere theatrical effect. They will present
a substitute for the financial plank, con-
sumo whatever time is allowed them for
speeches, and when the convention accepts
the gold standard platform, will quietly
walk out, adopt protest against the
course pursued and appeal to the country
for Endorsement of their course. It is
not likely that they will name new can
didate for the presidency.

the race for vice. president and therefore

the presidency.
Depew's answer was: "Morton assures
me he is in the race. l must nominate
him according to agreement"
1O:42 a. m.-Foraker has agreed to
nominate Morton for vice-president after
the settlement of the presidential noml-
nation.
TICKET WILL BE M'KINLEY AND MORTON.
The announcement was made just as the
convention was called to order that
Foraker would nominate Morton for
ce-president as soon as the ballot for
president was finished. This practically
settled the gossip of the morning that the
plan is, when the motion to nominate
Mckinley by acclamation is made, to in
clude Levi P. Morton for vice. e-president.
Il looks as it the plan would carry, al
though there may be opposition.
