ing enacted in the committee on reso-
lutions The group of western silver
men, headed by Senator Teller, of
Colorado, announced to their col
leagues when the gold plank in the
platform was adopted. upon the high
vote of 40 to 10, that they had reached
THE PARTING OF THE WAYS,
and that nothing remained but for
them to bolt the convention. 1t was
thought that there would be violent
recrininations and wild words of de-
nunciation when the final announce
ment of the break came, but instead it
was the parting of old friends in sor-
row, not in anger. The silver men felt
themselves swept on by an irresistible
fate, and with protestations of regret,
they cast the die. Speeches were made
by Senator Teller, who Joined the Re-
publican party at its conception, and
who was an ardent supporter of Lin
coin and who for twenty years has
the United States as Republican,
save for two years in the cabinet of
President Arthur.
Senator Dubois. the handsome, stall
wart young senator from Idaho, whose
father was nominated for secretary of
state of Illinois by Abraham Lin
colin: young Senator Cannon of Utah,
whose father is an apostle of the Nor
mon church. and Representative Hart
man, the young and vigorous congress
man from Montana; Lennon, of Cali
fornia: Mott. of North Carolina, the
son of DR.. Mott. the secretary of the
silver party; and delegates from New
Mexico, Arizona and Oklahoma, had
voted with them in committee and
they, too, made speeches, but did not
announce their purpose to withdraw
The scene was
A MOST AFFECTING ONE.
The gold men in the committee were
filled, with compassion. and there was
not a dry eye in the room while Sen
ator Teller spoke.
Senator Dubois, Senator Cannon and
Delegate Mott broke down completely
and wept like children. Senator
Lodge. who replied. spoke words OF
tender sympathy, as if the occasion
were some great bereavement. He
eulogized Senator Teller and his col
leagues, but declared that the repre-
sentatives of his party could not falter
on that account on the money ques-
ton.
When the platform, which is to be
presented tomorrow, and which was
sent out in all its essential details by
the Associated Press last night, is
presented to the convention, there VIII
be no disposition to cut off the boilers
They are honored and respected men,
whose service in the cause of the party
have been long and faithful, and they
will be given ample time TO make their
signal protest before they take their
departure from the party with which
they have so long been allied. 1t is
not probable that there will be any
reply to the silver men,. at least not
an extended one. If Senator Lodge
can have his way no bitterness will be
! engendered.
The general belief is that the con-
vention will adjourn tomorrow. The
prevailing opinion seems to continue
that Governor Morton will be Nc
Kinleys running mate on the ticket.
although the friends of Hobart and
1 Evans still insist otherwise and the
anti-Platt faction in, New York IS
bitterly fighting Governor Morton S
nomination 1t is believed Mr.. Hanna
is opposed to Morton and this fact
furnishes the chief ground for the con-
sheraton of the anti-Morton delegates.
