THE SILVER PARTY.

Temporary Chairman Newlands Delivers
the Opening Speech.
ST. LOUIS, July 23.-The delegates to
the National Silver organization were
slow in assembling at Music Hall, and
there were enough visitors to fill the
galleries when J. j. Mott, chairman of
the national committee, arrived.
The hall had been attractively draped
with flags and bunting. but the atmos-
phere was so close and hot that it was
almost suffocating. When Chairman
Mott came forward to call the conven.
tion to order the delegates for the mo.
ment ceased the use of fans, and reused
from the torpor caused by the awful
heat, and indulged.i in some enthusiastic
cheering.
Prayer was offered, after which Miss
Lille B. Pierce of this city read the
Declaration of Independence. This
caused another outburst Of applause.
When the call for the convention had
been read, 'rancis G. Newlands of Ne.
vada was introduced by Chairman Mott
as temporary chairman of the conven-
ton. Though the galleries of the hall
were almost vacant the delegations gave
him vigorous reception. After his
speech there was call of states for the
usual committees. A committee was
also appointed to confer with the Popu.
lists, as follows:
Hon. George w. Baker Of California,
chairman: Judge Scott Of Nebraska.

The crowds in the corridors of the ho-
