a Majority of Them Are Republic
cans, But They Endorse Bryan.
MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, July 16-
Silver men are jubilant today at the
success of the state mass convention
called by the national committeeman,
James W. Griffin, of the American Sill
yer organizations, to name thirty del
egates to the st. Louis convention,
July %. The great majority of those
attending are Republicans, but this is
not deprecated by the silverites, as
they expect favorable action to their
cause from both Democrats and Popu-
lists when they meet in their state con-
ventions later on.
The convention adopted resolutions
commencing Bryan as president and
presenting John Lind to the people of
Minnesota as a candidate for governor.
Lind is a well-known free silver adj
vocate and strongly popular with the
people, and will be acceptable, and
there will be an attempt by the free
silver leaders to secure his nomination
by the Populists and Democrats.
By this combination they hope to
defeat David Clough, the Republican
nominee, who will be the only other
candidate in the field.
The convention is attended by about
500 delegates from all over the state,
and the meeting is a representative
one. The silver men are so encouraged
that they viii at once inaugurate a
vigorous campaign to land Minnesota
in the Bryan column.

shouted and scrambled for handshake
of the nominee. There were cries for a
speech and in response Bryan said:
1.-THE people have curiosity to see the
nominee for the presidency and shake
him by the hand. I have been there
myself and crowded about a train to
shake hands with the presidential
nominee, even if l did not vote for him.
1 don't know whether here it is all
