Sanator DaaieI's Remarks.
Mr.. Daniel brought down the conven-
tion on taking the chairman's gavel by
| saving no convention had ever been
presided over with more dignity and
ability and fairness than had been
shown by Mr.. Harrity, and he only
hoped that he might be able to dis
charge the duties conferred upon him
with some approach to that degree
of ability. He disclaimed the slight
est intention on the. part of the conven-
tion of casting reflections on the dis
tinguished New York democrat. There
was nothing personal in his Daniel's)
selection. He reminded the eastern
democrats that the silver men had
cheerfully supported Seymour, Tilden,
Hancock and twice Grover Cleveland
and had borne with their compromise
platforms and repeated promise OF bi-
metallism. The force bill, the McKin-
lev bill and the Sherman law were
triple products of republicanism aimed
at the south and no vote from the east
had aided them. The force bill would
have been continued if those noble
western men, Teller (cheers), Stewart,
and Jones of Nevada and Stanford of
r. I 4 x,,%
(Cheers). What hope, he asked, was
there for the country or for democracy
unless the policy of the majority in the
convention was adopted. The republi-
cans, throwing away all disguise, had
now adopted the single British mono
metal gold standard and were prepare
to saddle the country with higher
taxes and more bonds. True Ameri-
canism demands that a determined
stand shall be made against this policy.
Cries for Hill.
Immediately the chairman finished
there were cries of "Hill'' from all
parts of the hall, and the sergeant
alarms was called upon to restore
order. A resolution that the rules OF
the Fiftythird congress govern the
convention was adopted. On mo-
ton of exc ov. Hogg of Texas the
roll was called to give each state and
territory an opportunity to name its
selections for the committees on Gre
dentials, permanent organization,
rules and order of business, and plat
form. Loud cries for Hill were re-
newed before the question could be
put, but the New York senator did not
respond, and the call proceeded. When
the various committees had been APP
pointed, the members of them with
drew for organization, and the conven-
ton then, at 4:45 p. M. adjourned until
