Though the galleries of the hall were
almost vacant, the delegates gave him a
vigorous reception. In taking the chair
he said:

The Republican party has declared for
the gold standard save so far as it's dis
astrous consequences may be averted by

leading commercial nations of the world
Practically this means gold monometal-
llsm, Tor under the system of finance in
augurated by Harrison and continued by
Cleveland silver is denied it's time-honor-
ed use as redemption money and has be-
come simply the material upon which is
stamped gold promise.
The Democratic party has declared
for the free and unlimited coinage of sill
yer at the ratio of 16 to 1, without await
ing international action. While it has
made other declarations in its platform,
it is announced that silver is the para
mount issue of the day and that to it all
other questions are to be subordinated.

peachable character, of exalted ability, OF

When the temporary chairman had
finished, the roll call was called by States
to get the names of the delegations for
