will admit every man who has creden-
tials."
He warned the crowd that it must
be orderly and that the police were
present to protect property.
A few moments before noon word
came from the inside of the hall that
the delegates there had organized
convention and George Fred Williams
then addressed the crowd and said:
''The Stats commit ttee refuses to
open these doors. We have a regular
convention organized and in operation
on the inside of this hall. We are a.
bout to get another hall where the
other delegates can gather and will
have a full report of the convention
on the inside. The second convention
will .indorse the action of those
in session within. We feel confident
that we have five-siXths of the dele
gates from the State on our side.
Stand right where you are until you
hear from me-"
Mr.. Williams and a committee then
went to secure another hall, in which
to convene the delegates in the street.
The outside meeting adopted the fol-
lowing resolution to be sent to the con-
vention inside the hall:
THE vast gathering of Democrats
outside of Music Hall heartily indorse
your every action"
At 12: as D. m, John Keleher. a mem
ber of the Democratic State Central
committee, drove into Hamilton place
and announced from his carriage that
''the regular Democratic State con-
yention would be held in Faneuil Hall,
at 1 o'clock
This announcement was received
with tremendous yells and several hun
dred of the crowd followed the car
riage as it proceeded to Faneuil Hall.
The delegates fayoring the nomina-
tion of Mr.. Williams, however, remain
ed in front of the entrance of the hall
and derisively shouted as the carriage
disappeared.
Next came the announcement from
the interior of the hall that Mr.. Will
liams had been nominated as the cam
didate for Governor.
With cheers and long-continued
shouts the meeting in the street rati-
fed this nomination and a notice was
given out that the delegates would
assemble at Horticultural Hall at $3.50
o'clock, when Mr.. Williams would ac-
cept the nomination.
The convention in Faneuil Hall en-
dorsed Bryan and Sewall and the Chi
cago platform by large majority and
the seventeen gold standard members
of the State committee, together with
the gold standard delegates, withdrew
in a body.
After the adjournment of the con-
yention, the gold standard wing of the
party decided to place in the field a
ticket favorable to the nominee and
platform of the convention held in In
dianapolis early this month. This
ticket, as filed by the National Demo
cratic State committee of Massachu-
setts, includes Presidential electors
and State officers.

any ratio. (Applause.) Let me show
you, There is not a prominent man in
the United States who is advocating
free silver by this country alone al
any ratio but 16 to I. When men fnd
fault with 16 to 1, they are putting un
a sham bulwark and when Won knock
that down they get behind another one
because, my friends, these men are
not in earnest. Great applause.)
Let me answer it in another wav.
We are opposed to changing the ratio
because they have driven down the
value of silver bullion by one bad law.
and we are not in favor Of holding IL
down by another bad law. applause
My friends, let me give you another
reason for not changing the ratio. II

what would be the result? You would
have to recon four billion dollars of
silver into dollars twice as large. which
would be two billion dollars, and that
would mean a decrease of one-fourth
of the metallic money Of the world
and raise the value of a dollar and those
who own dollars would profit by IT,.
and everybody who owed debt would
be plundered by it, and that is why

Troy, Ala, Sept. 26.-Senator Nor
gan to-day delivered an exhaustive
speech here on the financial question,
eontending for the complete rehabilita-
ton of silver on terms of equality with
gold, criticising the issuance of bonds
in time of peace and paying his re-
spects to the Indianapolis ticket. He
referred to Senators Palmer and Hill
in. no very complimentary terms and
declared that Mr.. Cleveland had been
twice elevated by the votes of those
who were now designated as "silver
lunatics'' "It is not our fault" he said
of Mr.. Cleveland, that he made the
mistake of supposing that he was ever
a Democrat. After proving his de
votion to his ideas of true Democracy
in the appointment of Gresham as
Secretary of State, as reward for his
lifelong services to the Republican
party, and his devotion to pure Democ-
racy in the effort to fasten the noble
Queen Lilioukalani on her island throne
and his devotion to the safety of the
country by putting the Treasury under
the guardianship of the Rothschilds
syndicate, after he had done these
things, the Democratic party abandon
ed him as a stranded Mugwump.'

Uncle Sans Militia Strength,

According to report on the organ
lied militia of the United States,
which has just been prepared by the
war department, the United States, in
need, can put 0, 4Ci, 694 men in the
field. At the close of 1895, every state
and territory, with the exception of
Indian Territory and Alaska, had an
organized national guard. The total
force of the militia numbers 11j, $50,
of which 102, COL composed the infan-
try, 5,2l5 the cavalry, 8, ,267 the ar
tillery, $40 the special corps and there
were 1, 443 generals and staff officers.
The total appropriations allowed the
militia amounted to 2-5 million, while
the states during the same period spent
So, s34, 976 on these organizations 1t is
estimated that the mobilization Of the
militia could be effected in the differ
ent states and territories in from three
hours in the District of Columbia to
seventy two hours in Oregon, other
state organizations assembling between
these two points.
New York is far in the lead in the
number of men enlisted in the national
guard, its strength amounting to 12, :
9O1 officers and men. Pennsylvania
is second with s, 4s2, Ohio third with

IN AND OF MISSOURI.
Missouri Criminal Cost Fund.

The last general assembly appropri-
ated $50, 600 for the pay of criminal
costs $50, 900 of this amount was for
deficiency carried over from 1894,
but of the half million dollars appro-
priated for the years 1886 there re-
mains to-day in the treasury of the
state only $500. All the rest has been
expended and conservative estimate
is that there will be deficiency of at
least $3.50 600 for the next general as
sembly to meet This will have to
be carried by the various sheriifs,
county clerks, clerks of criminal courts
and special judges in the state. They
will have to wait for their fees until
the next legislature appropriates money
for that purpose, which will be about
the first of next April, nearly thirteen
months off. There are now criminal
costs bills in the Office of State Audit
or James VI, Scibert amounting to
SIG, 5ji and only the $500 balance men
toned in the fund. 1t invariably is
the case that there is deficiency in
this fund owing to the short-si@hted-
ness of the law makers in not setting
aside sufficient money for it.

Senator Cockrell's Speech.

In his speech against the proposed
financial remedy of President Cleveland
and Secretary Carlisle, Senator Cock.
rell severely arraigned the administra-
tion. He declared that If the plan was
carried out it would reduce the prices
on all the products of the soil, the
mine and the factory.
1t proposed to surrender to the ma
tional banks, he said, absolute control.
1t would give them interest on the
bonds they deposited with the govern
ment, and also interest on their loans,
which was doubling the interest at the
expense of the taxpayers.
Never in the history of this great re-
public had such proposition to issue
fifty year interest. bearing bonds been
suggested by any executive.
This generation had no right to bind
future generations for fifty years.
II would place the business of the
country in the control of the organized
money power.
1t was the costliest financial remedy
ever suggested by any president.
1t was tame surrender of the option
to use silver and would add to the
burdens Of the taxpayers over $500, 900,
900.
Senator Cockrell said that the plan,
stripped of all its verbiage, meant
simply gold monometallism pure and
simple. and that gold should be the
standard and only money of redemp-
tion.
