Second Day of the Silver Convention
Given Up to Speeches.

Second Day of the Silver Convention
Given Up to Speeches.
St Louis. Mo-, July 3.--The national
silver convention has devoted another
day to oratory, transactlng absolutely no
business today. When the convention
was called to order this morning the gal
leries were practically vacant and the
seats for delegates were far from belng
filed. Congressman Charles A. ToWne
OF Duluth. the vice-chairman. started the
nood of oratory. He said that the press
of the country had apparently forgotten
its sacred duty and had become the
plant tool of monopoly. but the day Of
Regeneration was at hand. History was
being made today.
Ex-(4ov. John II. st. John of Kansas
was then called upon to speak. He was
greeted with cheers He told how corn
was worth 10 cents & bushel and oats
cents in Kansas and potatoes cents
bushel in Minnesota. This was one of
the reasons so many farmers believed
in free silver. A few months ago nearly
everyone believed that nothing on earth
could defeat William Mckinley for Pres
ident. But the surrender or American
interests to Great Britain at the Repub-
lican convention had fallen upon Nc
Kinley like q bolt of lightning. 1t changed
the sentiment of the whole country.
The next one to address the convention
was Mrs Helen NJ. Cougar Of Indiana:
She denounced the "Goldbug monopolists.'
'Wall street plotocracy" and English
bond sharks and said the only saliva
ton Of the people from serfdom WAS TO
declare for the free coinage of silver.
She denounced Mckinley and the plat
form on which he stands. She de-
nounced the Republican party the liquor
traffic and the rum power OF the world;
The saloonkeeper, the rum power ana
the anarchists, she said, were with Mr..
IcKiLley. So were 1.-THE thieves of
Wall street"
Rublee A. Cole of Milwaukee said
that While he had the greatest respect
for Mrs Cougar of Indiana he did not
think it wise to take up the cry of pro-
hibition. TO denounce the brewing inter
est would be to lose strength among the
Germans.
Mr. Cole. but he held his ground and
despite the cries of ''sit down. he con-
tinued tc talk The free silver question,
he said. was one that interested the
masses and should not be weighted down
by prohibition
The committee on platform sent ward
to the convention that it would be ready
to report az p. III.
An effort was made to have the plat
form considered. but Baker Of Califor
MIA said in speech that the platform as
adopted would end the labors of the con-
vention, as il would endorse Bryan and
Sewall. He wanted tc see conference
with Populists acted on first.
4 motion was finally made to adjourn
to 10 a. III. Friday. and it was carried.
4 poll of delegate showed past
be- Republicans 526: Democrats. 1876;
Populists. A; Prohibitionists, 8; Green
hacker, l, and Independents. Il. Tween

He succeeded in organizing the terri
tories of Iowa and Wisconsin, and was

CIGARETTE LAW NO GOOD.
Judge Sanborn Holds the Iowa
Prohibitory Act to be I'm
constitutional.

st. Paul, Mimi, July 23.-United
States Circuit Judge SanbOrn yesterday
decided the Iowa anti-cigarette law I'M
constitutional and ordered released on
writ of habeas corpus Donald G. Nc
Gregor of Cedar Rapids. Ia.
The law was passed by the Iowa. Leg
islature last winter and went into effect
on July 4, 1896. 1t prohibited absolutely
the manufacture or sale of cigarettes
within the state or their importation into
the state. McGregor was arrested for
importing cigarettes and selling them IN
the original packages, and application
for writ of haheas corpus was made to
Judge Sanborn. The matter came up
for hearing yesterday.
The attorneys for the petitioner rested
their arguments on the decision of the
Supreme court of the United States in
the famous prohibition case that went
up from the same state some years ago
after the prohibition law was enacted
there That decision is to the effect that
the federal constitution, having dele
gated to Congress the power to regulate
commerce between the several states,
the Legislature had no power to prohibit
the importation of liquors into the state
or their sale in the original packages by
the importer.
Acknowledgement Remley argued that
the Legislature had power to prohibit
the importation and sale of cigarettes
and cited other authorities to sustain his
view. Judge Sanborn followed the de-
ciSion of the Supreme court and granted
the writ.

ALLEN FOR CHAIRMAN.
Bryan Men Win signal Victory on the

convention The tide, began turning this
morning when "Cyclone'' Davis of Texas
openly refused to take further active III
terest in the ''middle-of- the-road' move
ment. 1t kept on increasing until to-
night. when the convention elected Sen
ator William V. Allen of Nebraska as
permanent chairman. lie was elected
by a majority of 1914 votes over j. E.
CamDion of Maine, who was presented
by the anti-Bryan element. The Popu-
lists are working hard to get through
with the convention. Jerry Simpson
is authority for the explanation that the
delegates are running short on expense
money. They began at II o'clock this
morning, and they kept things moving
along in a lively way, with one short
recess, until well into the night. The
.middle-of- the-road" men were confident
of success right up to the time that the
decisive vote was taken.
Tonight it looks as if the convention
would nominate both Bryan and Sewall.
This will depend largely upon the action
the committee on rules. The majority
report provides for the nomination of &
President first and then yice-president,
as - the custm in national conventions.
The "middle-Of-the-rOdd members of the
committee will present a minority report.
which provides for the nomination of the
vice-president first. Should their report
be adopted they hope to nominate some
PopuliSt for vice-president, and by so
doing save that much out of the wreck,
if not force Bryan to refuse the indorse-
ment of the Populists on the ground that
his acceptance would place him in the
light of deserving Arthur Sewall, the
Democratic nominee for vice-preSldent

that the battle was not lost. This pre-
