Whereat Mr. Rapp, noting that he
was discounted, sat down and was
heard of during the following moments
no more at ALL at all.
Having made their proposition the
silver men retired and the Mckinley
/ ties went into committee of the whole
en- the condition of affairs.
SILVER MEN TURNED DOWN.
1t was in committee OF the whole that
every one got a chance to talk, and
among them Whipple and McGur1.in
particularly. Both these gentlemen
conveyed the impression that Mckinley
had a good chance right here in this
state, an assertion which made your
Uncle John e. Dolly smile perceptibly
behind his muStaChdos. They did not
favor allowing the silver men to come
in and ask for anything, but were for
shutting them out entirely, except as
hewers of wood and drawers of water,
as it were. There was no occasion for
the regular state committee" conced-
ing anything to them, and so forth and
SO on, etcetera and to be confinued.
Wesley Walton mildly suggested that
harmony was a desideratum to be
achieved.
But Wesley's suggestion was like the
good seed which fell on stony ground,
where no irrigation bitches exist. "
didn't take root to any remarkable eX-
tent. If it did the sprouts were not
perceptible.
Finally it was agreed to allow the
Silver men two members of the execu-
tive committee, lie eleven McKinl ey
men composing same to make the Sc
lections for the independents
The ambassadors were called in and
informed of the decision
SILVER MEN SAY NAY.
1t didn't suit at all, and the "resyu-
lars were so informed in plain terms.
why said Lippman, what do we
care about working on a. Mckinley com
mittee? There is no chance for the
election of the three gold electors and
as far as we are concerned the Bryan
portion of our ticket will take care of
itself We want to unite the Repuhli-
can party on the state, legislative and
county tickets; that's what we are here
for"
But this didn't suit, and although
Holbrook made a suggestion or two
in the interest of harmony, the propo-
sition of Lippman and his colleagues
was not accepted, and the embassy and
the reporters went outside and bashed
in the sun, while McGurrin and Whip
pie argued the point again. This time
Whipple took a new tack. He con-
tended that it would be out of order to
elect any members of the executive
committee from the outside; that all
chosen must be members of the state
committee, and this. too, in the face
that the chairman elected was not a
member.
A
When the doors were reopened the
decision of the regulars" was an
nounced as having been adhered to,
and the silver men and Holbrook re-
tired to the Office of Mr. Lippman,
where the committee held meeting
and decided that in future all bets
were off and they would go it alone.
Mr.. Lippman made a report to the In
dependents of the condition of affairs
and asked what should be done.
"Done?" calculated John Lowry.
why. let's go ahead and take the mat
ter in our own hands. we have
ticket nominated and want to elect it.
Let us organize and get to work and
leave the other fellows to go to while
we get action"
That's what I say, responded c. P.
Mason. IF they don't want US we
don't want them, and that is all there
is Of it,
4 believe we should. get to work as
an independent organization, said the
candidate for congress. II they think
they can get along without u.s. why
we can get along without them and
paddle our own canoe"
NEW EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE.
Talk was becoming right brisk whei.
