The gold delegates have framed n
protest which declares the convention
to be unlawful and violation OF the
party rules, and dcnOunccs the Chicago
platform as outrageous. The action Of
tho ChSngo convention IN refusing 10

Is bitterly denounced. @
When the convention re-ronvened,
the temporary organization was mnde
permanent. W. u. Given md George Il.

because their syinpathlcs were not

Silver men were elected In their places.
The committee on resolutions re-
ported endorsing the Chicago plat

amid the widest cheering. The con-
ventlon then read the true Democrats
out OF the party, refusing TO listen to
tho protest OF the sound money wing:

farce. resolved TO fuse with the Pop

crowd. and every point made by Senator
Ihurston was taken up and cheered to
the echo.
The escort was one Of the features of
the night and every one Of the clubs
that participated deserves great credit
for its appearance and the numbers
In which they turned out. The streets
were crowded with people and all along
enc line the boys were given the glad
hand most heartily.

their attractive uniforms made a great
hit along the line. The Tariff Cham

though not uniformed, attracted much
attention by their numbers, as did the
Dobhy Sixth ward club, which came up
smiling with over 100 men carrying red.
white and blue umbrellas. The Dovener
club. with trl-colnrcd lantarns and the

1t was after O'Clock when the parade
reached Thirty-firSt street. and the
scene of the marching clubs and the
