Helen M Cougar of Indiana. She de-
nounced the gold bug monopolists'

the only salvation of the people from

OF the country in behalf Of silver would
be an announcement of the former par

luton was offered for the individual
consideration of delegates preparatory
TO official consideration at the next Sos

R. A. Cole, of Milwaukee said that
while he had the greatest respect for
Mrs. Cougar, of Indiana, he did not
think 1t wise to take up the cry of

was one that interested the masses and
should not be weighted down by pro-
h1bition. When he finished, the con-
vention took a recess till afternoon.

o'clock tomorrow. Mr.. Turner or Kan
sas wanted the convention to get
down to business and amended the
motion to provide for an evening ses-
sion. If its sessions were protracted
many of the delegates would be COM
PEELED to go home. MIR. Baker, of Cali
fornia, was opposed to an evening ses-
sion. The Kansas delegation continued
to object to adjourning until tomorrow.
Mr.. Baker went on to say that the con-
vention would be ready to adjourn as
soon as it's platform was adopted, be-
cause in 1t Bryan and Sewall were re-
commended as the nominees Of the sill
yer party. This remark brought ap-
plause. Gen. Warner, of Ohio, agreed
with Baker and advised an adjourn
ment until tomorrow.
Chairman Little, of the Kansas dele
cation, thought it would be mistake
to adjourn until tomorrow. W. p ST.
John insisted that 1t would be an in
suit to the Peoples party to adopt the
platform before the conference COM
mittees of the two conventions had met
Such action would be to jam a ticket,
or an attempt to jam a ticket down
the throats of the Peoples party. A

and twice that number of men shouted
for recognition. In the midst of the flu

deal Of confusion followed and some
of the delegates went to their hotels.

ADDRESSED BY TowNE.
He Opened Morning Session of the
Silver OnventfOn.


ST. LOUIS, July 23.-When Chair
man ST. John called the silver conven-
ton to order, he said he was sorry to
be compelled to announce that Rev. DR..
Nichols, who was to open the conven-
ton with prayer, had been called from
the city. Congressman Newlands
moved that a committee on ways and
means be appointed to raise funds with
which to defray the expenses of the
convention.
Charles A. Towne, vice chairman,
was then introduced. He said that the
press of the country had apparently
forgotten its sacred duty, and had be
come the plant tool of monopoly.
Money was the God it worshipped.
But the day of reform was at hand
History was being made today. The
people had been lax, but had deter
mined to manage their own affairs.
They had suffered grievously at the
hands of monopolies and trusts, but
hereafter they would look after their
own affairs. He continued by denounc-
ing the perniciousness of the present
money system. The delegates cheered
long and loud.
The single gold standard, he said,
would ruin the masses of the people.
In November they would relegate the
parties of the monopolies to oblivion
and put in power men who had the in
terests of the people at heart. The
speaker referred to the bolt of Senator
Teller from the Republican conven-
ton, and spoke of the heroism and
patriotism of the Colorado senator, to
the delight of the delegates. Next he
referred to the nomination of Mr.
Bryan, who, he said, was born the year
of the election of Lincoln. He then
eulogized the Democratic candidate in
glowing terms. This evoked the big
gest demonstration which has thus far
characterized the convention. Refer
ring again to the money question, he
said it was backed by men who used
epithets and abuse instead of argu-
ments Speaking of Chauncey NJ. De-
pew, he said Mr.. Depew was a man
whose jokes were sought for on this
side of the water, and his opinions on
the other, where he was not so well
known. Mr.. Depew was a gold stan
dard man. and monopolist, and
wanted to impose the English yoke of
gold on the necks of the people Of
America.
The speaker next explained the free
silver question, and he attempted to
show that hard times would vanish
when free silver appeared. When the free
silver party got control of the govern
