| spoke as follows:
desire to say that majority OF the delega-

that we cannot give our approval or our in
dorsement to the financial plank this day
| adopted. have never cast my vote for any
| ticket but a republican one and do not pro-
| from the republicans of our state, and we
would be false to them and false to ourselves,
II we did not state their position and their OBJ

half OF the republicans of Montana protest

egation. There those who are satisfied to
utter their protest and still participate in the
proceedings of the convention.
| There are others who feel that, in declining

BROWN TALKS
Senator Brown, of Utah. said:
| Mr.. Chairman: The delegation from Utah
| does not bolt. We do not believe the republican
party is the oppressor of the people but the
| guardian of liberty and the protector of honest
| government. Three OF our delegation have
| gone and am here to express our sorrow at
| their departure. We have asked them to re-
| main and wehever shall cease to regret their
| departure We have three delegates left and
three alternates, Messrs. Rogers, Green and
| Smith, allstrpe TO the old party. In saying this
we still remain true to the principles Of free
gold and free silver at the old rates. We do
not believe this question can be settled by
votes in q convention. The test OF time can
only settle it You have promised to the people
| American ships. You must send protection to
| every ship owner and every ship maker. You
must send protection to the farmer and manu-
| facturer and Utah or ut least part of it, will
| endeavor to help you in that cause.
Senator Brown asked that the three
alternates that he had named be al
lowed to sit in the convention in place
of the delegates who had left. No dis
senting voice being raised the three
alternates were seated as delegates
from UtahiB

leigh, of Washington, who said:
We believe in the single gold standard be-

When the state of Ohio was called,

1t would be exceedingly dificult, II not en-
tirely impossible. to eXaggerate the disagreea-
BILE situation OF the last four years. The grand
: democratic national administration may be
summed up as one stupendous disaster. 1t has
been disaster, however, not without this one
r redeeming feature-that it has been falr-no-

the poor, the high and the low, have suffered In
