ably more than 100,0 900 majority for

lican National Committee and repre-
senting that committee, was introduced
to deliver a Dnessage from his associates
In the present campaign, he said, the
National Committee would lean upon
the strong arm of the league. He evoked
laughter with applause by his pro
test against the Pharisical sanctimony
of the Bryans, the Altgelds, the PETERS,
the Jones, which seemed to have cor
nered all human virtue in a trust and
placed the prodigy of the Platte in the
position of dispenser of dividends
He characterized the Democrats as
bucolic blusterers sterilizing the earth
with their fears and bluffing the panic
stricken public in an attempt to Sc
cure control of the Government.

by the Democratic and Populist plat
form, Mr. Cummings said he had some

Liberty which adorns and embellishes

being attempted in her name, her
cheeks would burn with shame, until
the silver was as hct as the Roman
metal which burned the hands of Ju-

revenue only, it had become the cor

with enthusiastic cheers

Congressman J. T. McCleary of Mime
sofa Mr.. McCleary brought a greet
ing from the old north State that its
vote this year would be given by an
increased majority to Mckinley and
Hobart. His speech was an argument,
Illustrated by experiences in the his
tory of the United States to show
that gold and silver will not circulate
side by side except at their true COM
mercial ratio; that bimetalism as de-
fined by the advocates of free coinage
of silver at any other ratio is a delusion
and a snare.
AT the close of Mr.. McCieary's speech
the convention adjourned until 10
