tariff question. We reply that. 10 prOtcc-

"If they ask us why not embody In the

my reply is hat when we have restored
the money OF the constitution. all other
necessary reforms VIII be possible. and
that until that Is done there is no reform
that can be accomplished. Cheers.
why Is 10 that i'm three months such
change has come over the sentiment
OF this couutry? Three months ago IL
was confidently asserted that those who
believe in the gold standard would form a
platform and nominate and elect a can
d.date. And they had good reason for
their assertion. Because there is scarce
ly a state here to-day asking for a gold
standard that is not within the absolute
control OF the republican party. Mr. Nc
kinley was nominated at ST.
Louis on platform which declares
for the main lenauCe % the gold standard

boust that he looks like Napoleon OLaugh-
teri snudders to-day when he thinks that
he was nominated on the anniversary Of
the battle Of Waterloo. (Cheers) lie can
fancy that he hears in the distance the
sound OF the waves as they beat on the
lonely shores of St Helena. (Cheers.) Why
this change? All, my friends, the change
is evident to any one who looks at the
matter IL is because no private character,
however pure, no personal popularity how
ever great. can protect from the avenging
wrath OF an indignant people. The man
who would declare that he is In favor OF
fois;ing the gold standard on this people,
or who is willing to surrender the right
Of self-government and to place legisa-
tive control i'm the hands of fore gn poten-
tates and powers. cannot hope for an cleo
ton TO the presidency of the United states.
(Cheers)
we go forth" said the orator, cont
dent that we shall win. Why2 Because
there is not a spot of ground upon which
the advocates Of the gold standard can
meet us. You tell US the great cities are
in favor Of the gold standard. Burn down
your cities and leave your farms and your
cities viii grow up again. But destroy
our farms and the grass Will grow in
every city Of the union. Great applause)
MY friends" he continued, I'VE shall
declare that this nation Is able to legls-
late for its people upon every question
without waiting for the consent of any
other nation on earth, and upon that issue
We expect TO carry every state In this
nation. Great cheering) it is the is
sue OF l776 over again. our ancestors
when only 3 100000 declared their indie
pendence of every nation OF the earth.
Shall we when, grown TO 70,O000O, have
less courage? If they say we cannot have
bimetallism until some other nation as
sists, we reply we will restore bimetal-
ism and let England adopt IL because the
United States has led the way. (Cheers)
We shall answer their demand for the
gold standard by saying to them: You
shall not press down upon the brow Of
labor this crown of thorns. You shall
BOT cruelty mankind upon cross of
gold. Tremendous cheering)
Then ensued, perhaps, the most eXtraor-
dihary scene of this extraordinary con-
vention. AS If by the magic touch of a
wand delegation after delegation rose In
solid phalanX and gave vent to the most
enthusiastic demonstration I'm honor OF
the Nebraska orator Everybody stood
up even the EASTERN Iltis WHO al lliSL
were disposed TO remain in their seats.
Westerners shouted. waved handker-
chiefs hats, flags, canes, umbrellas and
anything else conspicuous and portable.
Deafening cheers rent the air, articles
Of every description were thrown high
above the surging sea of humanity. The
staffs bearing the names OF the states
were held aloft with flags and other
things on top and waved to and fro.
When that pastime became too tame,
led by Delegate GalWood Of Texas nearly
all of the silver states and territories and
some gold states Joined in a procession
bearing the state poles and marched IN
triumph around the floor. Some of the
eastern states kept their STATS in their
places and confined their expressions to
standing up and giving a mild cheer as
individuals.
This furore continued for a quarter of
an hour, and no effort was made by the
chairman or sergeant-at-arms to check
its tempestuous progress
Away to the west and the north and
the south OF the platform in the multi
tude of spectators the demonstration of
the delegates was repeated Hundreds of
umbrellas were opened by the apparently
crazed people Harmless missiles of pa
per and other things were hurled through
the air on delegates heads The re-
markable feature of this wild outburst
was that it's spontaniety was apparent,
and it was so much a personal tribute
TO Mr. Bryan that eastern delegates who
differed with him caught the infection
and Joined in moderately Nebraska's del
egation was the cynosure Of observation,
and the smoOth-faced silver champion who
had electrified the convention sat UNI
moved in his seat at the end of the aisle
opposite his opponent from New York
Senator Hill.
When some degree Of quiet was re-
stored, the previous question was order
ed on the platform and all the amend
ments. Mr.. Hill requested a call of the
states on his proposed financial plank
At 315 O'Clock the voting began upon
Mr.. Hills proposed substitute for the free
coinage plank. 1t resulted; Ayes, 1903
noes, 626.
Mr.. Hill said he did not desire call of
the states upon his two financial amend
ments. but he did desire a vote by states
on the resolution commencing the admin
istration. The second roll call was begun
at 3:47 o'clock.
The result Of the roll call on the reso-
luton endorsing the administration was:
Ayes, 357; noes, 564; not voting and abb
sent g. Total $780,
This announcement accounted for all
the delegates and was greeted with ap-
plause and Kisses.
Mr.. HIPS two financial amendments
were then voted down viva voce.
Mr.. Tinman rose to ask the parliament
tary status of his amendment condemn
