be different from that intended by its

would do its duty.
Mr. shinn tired the convention and was
frequently Interrupted by cries and APP
plause 10 all OF which he stated that he
wOuld speak until he had finished. But
he was mistaken. Some one made the
point of order that he had spoken more
than once to the motion and the point
was sustained by Chairman St. John, who
directed Mr.. Shinn to take his seat.
Mr. Warden OF Wisconsin pleaded for
expedition Of business. Let us, he said,
appoint the committee on conference,

Gen. Warner advocated first the appoint
ment of a special committee to advise the
p0pulist convention of the fact that the
silver convention had been organized. and
learn whether or not it was the wish of
that convention that the silver convention
appoint a full committee Of conference to
meet a full committee appointed by it,
Mr.. Foster, of Missouri, a member of the
committee appointed by the national COM
mittee last night to consider a conference,
reported that as result Of their inquiries,
it was determined that more representa-
tive body should be appointed. Many of
the populst leaders had expressed the hope
that the conference committee should be
appointed. A delegate from Illinois urged
prompt action; faint heart ne'er won fair
lady either IN love, war or politics. He
wanted the convention to go ahead re-
gardless of conventionalit3es, and without
regard 10 whether or not somebody else
had stolen its platform of principles. or

1t had started.
