asserting that the platform was more Of

speech of the day was made by Bryan in

The Democrat National convention
convened at Chicago July Z. 1t was the
first National convention OF either old
party in which New York and other
Eastern States had no influence. The
National committee showed a safe ma
jority for the gold standard, and it ae-
cordingly presented the name Of Senator
Hill OF New York for Chairman. Ordi-
narlly the convention accepts without
question the committee recommends
tion, but minority report was filed in
which the name OF Senator Daniel Of
Virginia, pronounced silver man, was
substituted for that of Hill. The mi
nority report was signed by twenty
three committeeman and it was adopted
by vote Of $50 to 349 The election Of
temporary officers and the announce
ment of committees occupied all the
first day. The vote on temporary Chair
man indicated the relative strength Of
the gold and silver elements and showed
that the silver people had an overwhelm-
ing majority. Many vigorous speeches
were made, the gold standard advocates
doing everything in their power to save
Hill. Ex-Governor Waller of Connecti-
cut made a strong fight for him. After
paying a great tribute to Hill, and in re-
ferring to the probability Of turning
him down, he said: "Turn down David
B. HillY In Gods name, is this Dem
ocrstic convention?" A delegate as
suFed him that Hill would 60 down,
when Waller shouted: "Very we'll;
turn him down and we will fight you
here and elsewhere"
Kansas was represented on the various
committees as follows: Credentials, J.

seating the Bryan silver delegation from
Nebraska and four silver delegates from
Michigan. The delegates unseated in
both cases were gold men. With the
addition Of the four contesting delegates
the Michigan silver men were able to
control the delegation from that State.
