HUGE PICTURE OF BLAND.
commotion was occasioned by the
appearance of huge picture of Bland,
carried down the center aisle.
Col. Sheppard then advanced and
moved that the convention indorse Bland
for the presidency.
The motion was received with deafen-
ing cheers.
Senator Chiffon rushed to the front of
the platform to oppose the Endorsement.
Col. John Duncan favored indorsing
ex-Gov. Hogg for president.
John H. Reagan opposed any presi-
dental instructions at all.
Dudley, chairman of the state execu-
tive committee, spoke in advocacy of
Bland's Endorsement.
Judge Bramlette introduced resolu-
tion stating in effect that Bland was the
choice of the people of Texas and deemed
it advisable to the interests of silver that
the delegates vote for him at Chicago.
Congressman Bailey spoke in advocacy
of the resolution and stated EN- mphatically
that he favored Bland.
Gov. Hogg said that the adoption of
the resolution would have no more effect
on the Chicago delegation than the sniff
of a sand hill possum.
At O'Clock, after much discussion,
Bland was finally instructed for almost
unanimously.
Messages were sent to the conventions
in Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, informing
them that Texas had sent straight-out
silver delegation to Chicago.
An adjournment sine die was had at
2:10 p. m.
