Williams and few others boldly left the
majority of the Massachusetts delegation
and voted for the free and unlimited COIN
age Of silver. Since that time the rift
in the lutte" has gradually become wider
and more bitter, and charges Of traitors
and "would-be dictatOrs' have been used
freely. The climax came last evening
when in the big Bryan rally at MUSIC
hall Mr.. Williams accused the leaders
OF wanting to control the state conVen-
ton and requested all those who were
in favor of his nomination to stay all
night In their seats, so that no move
might be made which would deprive them
of fulfilling the program which had been
marked out by the silver leaders.
Thus 600 of his followers obeyed to the
letter and throughout the night the vigil
was kept. Every kind of ingenuity was
tried to make the men vacate the hall.
The police were called upon to clear the
hall but the young lawyers in the sill
yer movement made that effort unsuc-
cossfui, and as a result the doors were
kept locked until $40 this afternoon
Bright and early today. thousands Of
men. scores Of whom were delegates from
out Of town. assembled around Music
hall expecting the doors to be opened
at any time, and that a compromise
might ensue. Overtures were made by
the members of the state central COM
mittee and they were rejected by the
men in possession, who were fearful Of
treachery. The men on the outside then
organized in Hamilton place in response
to the suggestion of Hon. Timothy w.
Coakley. They locked in the leader Of
the silver men, and whatever business
was transacted in the hall was endorsed
by the outside meeting. The state com
mittees then went to Faneuil hall, whore
! a convention was held and the national
candidate and the Chicago platform were
endorsed and Hon. George Fred VIII
Hams was nominated for governor. Chris
topher Y. Callahan of Holyoke was nom
mated for lieutenant governor. Hon. JOS
eph H. Potts of Lynn for secretary of
state. Thomas S. Watson of Braintree
for treasurer. John d. O'Donnell of
Braintree for attorney general and Nor
ris B. Cavanaugh of Quincy for auditor.
This action was protested against by
a number of gold standard democrats.
who withdrew in a body and placed a
ticket favorable to Palmer and Buckner
in the field.
In Wesleyan hall the state convention
of the populist party was held, and
when they heard that Williams had been
nominated as the free silver candidate.
they Immediately followed suit and
placed him at the head of their ticket.

sure the continuation Of that trust. The
great banking institutions. which are
contributing so literally 10 the rcpub-
lican campaign fund, can afford to do
so. IL they exact from you enough non
ey in addition TO pay for their cOntrlDu-
tions and leave a large profit
Il want you TO understand the i'm
portance Of this campaign. 1t is a ques-
ton whether the people have right to
govern themselves or whether these
great corporations and syndicates and
trusts own this government and have a
right to use IL and plumber everybody
else for the enrichment of themselves.
In our platform we declare that the
government is greater than the trusts.
If all of those combinations are able
to spend their money to perpetuate their
reign. are not the majority willing to
give the only thing the can contribute
to the success Of any campaign, namely,
their votes when they go 10 the ballot
boX?'
After MIR. Bryan had finished there
were cries foT Mr.. Sewan, the nominee
for the vice presidency, and he was in
troduced and was given three cheers.
The crowd demanded a speech of him,
but he said he did not have time 20
make speech, and if there was time
left he would present IT to the prcsiden-
tial nominee
Then there were cries for Geogre
Fred Williams, who came down with Mr..
Bryan. and the nominee for governor of
Massachusetts told of the welcome given
the candidate for the presidency. lie
said it had been unanimous at New Ha-
Ven and when the name of Yale college
was mentioned. it was roundly Kissed.

CHICAGO, June "a gaping hole in
the back side of the Goodrich line
steamer Virginia. just above the aft
gangway, tells of the narrow eSdpe the
lake greyhound and 200 passengers had
from being central figures in a terrible
lake tragedy. While the Virginia was
returning from Milwaukee she dDllided
with the schooner Mary A. McGregor.
A thick fog prevailed at the timelwhich
rendered objects invisible at a distance
of a few feet. \ panic OF boatd the
Virginia followed. and a rush fr the
upper decks was made by the terrified
passengers. The quick command of
Captain Stein of the Virginia, who was
on the bridge, in altering the coSrse of
the steamer just as the two vessel came
together, prevented a horrible disaster.
AS it was, there is a large hole In the
side Of the steamer, while the schooner
had her bowsprit carried away and 9TH
erwise badly damaged by the collision.
The schooner was bound from RaSine to
Milwaukee. Captain Stein said that
the collision was unavoidable. The Vir.
ginia, he said, was running slSw& than
usual, and to this fact he attributes her
escape from laundering.
