FAIRBANKS SPEECH.
The Temporary Chairman Takes a
Strong Stand for Gold.

St. Louis, Mo-, June ia summary Of
the address delivered by Mr.. Fairbanks,
on assuming the temporary Craftsmanship
Of the convention, follows:
After expressing his profound gratitude
for the expression of generous confidence
with which the convention had bestowed
upon him, Mr.. Fairbanks devoted the first
half of his remarks to a contrast of the
record of the republican party with that
of the democratic party, as viewed from
the standpoint Of protectionist. Incl
dental to this discussion Mr.. Fairbanks
made the assertion that the republican
party had mace sound money, and that II
also made an honest protective tariff to
sound money and an honest protective
tariff, he said, go hand in hand, not one
before the other.
The republican party had not been I'M
friendly to the proper use Of silver. 1t has
always favored and favors the use of sill
yer as part OF our circulating medium.
But it favors that use under such provis-
ions and safeguards as shall not impair
the present national standard. The policy
of the republican party is to retain both
gold and silver as a part of our circulating
medium, while the policy Of free coinage
of silver leads to certain silver monOmetal-
lisnn. i is immutable law that two moneys
of unequal value will not circulate tOgeth-
er, and that the poorer always drives out
the better. The republican party, desiring
fairly to secure a large use of silver, pledg-
ed itself In favor of an international agree
ment. President Harrison, true TO the
pledge OF the party, TOOK the lnlJlatofy
steps. and invited an international none
tary conference at Brussels, at which the
true object Of an international coinage
agreement was ably and probably dis.
cussed. The democratic party was also
committed to international bime tallism,
but when Il came into power the work
which had been so auspiciously begun by
the republican party was abandoned. It
was so absorbed in its efforts to break
down the Mckinley law and empty the
treasury that 1t had no time to promote in
ternational bimetallism.
Those who profess to believe that this
government can Independently Of the
other great commercial powers open Its
mints to free and independent coinage Of
silver at a ratio of IS to !, when the
commercial ratio in all the great markets
is 30 to J. and at the same time not
drive every dollar Of gold out of circu-
lation, but deceive themselves. Great
and splendid and powerful IS our gov
eminent is, Il cannot accomplish the i'm
possible. 1t cannot create value. 1t has
not the alchemists subtle art Of trans

CMMITTEE ON CREDENTIALS.
Contests Settled by the National
Committee Not TO BE ReOpened.


St. Louis, June 16.-Just as soon as the
committee on credentials had organized.
J. Cowen of Nebraska submitted the fol-
lowing resolutions: THAT the roll Of del
egates and alternates prepared by the
national committee for the purpose of the
temporary organization be and the same
is hereby adopted by this committee as
the true and correct roll of the dele
gates and alternates of the convention,
and that this committee proceed with the
hearing Of the contests referred TO 1t by
the national committee, viz: The dele
gates and alternates from the state of
Delaware and the delegates and alternates
from the state of Texas"
w Z. Hepburn of Iowa offered the fol-
lowing substitute: THAT the secretary be
instructed TO obtain from the national
committee all papers and documents filed,
and before them in the contests for seats
in the convention, and that thereupon this
committee proceed to dispose of all con-
tests in alphabetical order of the states.
This substitute was lost by vote OF
20 NAYS to II ayes, thus showing that the
Mckinley men of the committee, who
desire to shut out any further hearing OF
temporary roll of the convention, as far
as completed, will be made permanent,
and the work of the convention short
ened.
o'clock tonight without taking vote on
the pending motion.
Before ad1Ournlng, however, N1eSSTS
Thompson of Ohio Hepburn of Iowa and
Cohen Of Nebraska were appointed a COM
mittee to formulate rules for any con-
tests that the convention may hear.
Nearly every member responded to the
roll cali when the committee reassembled
at 80 o'clock.
Mr. Sutherland of New York moved that
q representative of the press associations
be admitted to the sessions of the COM
mittee and this was carried unanimously
all other persons not connected with the
committees investigation being required
to withdraw.
A subcommittee reported in favor of
giving two hours for the discussion of the
Higgins-Addick Delaware case, and an
hour and a half to the Texas case. This
report was antagonized by Mr.. Hepburn
of Iowa. who moved that two hours be
given to each side in this contest, but
the proposition was defeated by an over
whelming majority and the report of the
committee was adopted with one vote in
the negative.
At s o'clock promptly, the Delaware con-
testants began the presentation of their
case There was a great washing of dirty
linen At 1910 o'clock the contestees and
. contestants retired and the committee
went into executive session. The resolution
to seat the Addcks delegation was defeat
edo ayes 20 nays. The committee then
voted on the question of seating the Hlg-
gins delegation, ayes 81; nays H.
At the conclusion of the Delaware hear
ing, the committee adjourned until 10
o'clock tomorrow, when it viii take up
the Texas contest between the Lily Whites
and the Black and Tans.
Mr. Hepburn will present minority re-
port on the Addicks case.

BOLT OF THE sILVERITEs.
The Disahection to BE Less Serious
Than Expected.

St. Louis, June Ex-senator Teller,
when asked for a statement tonight, de-
clined to talk beyond the single admis-
sion that the committee on resolutions
would adopt the financial plank of the
subcommittee and the convention would
ratify that action by very large ma.
jority What he should then do, Mr..
Teller would not say, but free silver
senator who enjoys his confidence made
the statement that the great free silver
leader would make thirty minutes
speech, in which he would clearly and
concisely state the position of the silver
men in this fight, and would then walk
out of the convention. 1t is not believed
however, that Mr. Teller will go so far,
although he will decline to take any fur
Their part in the proceedings,
The silver bolt appears to be diminish
ing in its importance for 1t is reported to-
night that Senator Mantle of Montana,
failed to persuade mis- colleague, Chairman
Carter of the national committee to JOIN
with them in protest against the action
of the convention. Mr.. Mantle himself de-
clines to discuss the subject, but is said to
have expressed the opinion that 1t would
be useless for him to bolt unless Mr.. Car
ter and he acted together This leaves as
the silver leaders who still talk Of boiling
Senators Teller, Dubois and Cannon, and
Congressman Hartman.
just what their following may be when
the test comes is problematical, but the sill
yer men admit that quite a number of
those who were firm up to to-day have
been weaned away from them.
1t is the programme of the Mckinley
managers not to have any extended de-
bate on the financial question, and IL Mr.
Teller is the only speaker the previous
question on the adoption of the resolu-
tons will probably be ordered as soon as
Mr. Teller finishes his speech. According
TO this programme, it is not impossible
the Mckinley men say, 10 adopt the plat
form and nominate both candidates to-
morrow.
Gov. Morton being out Of the way. the
contest for the vice presidency narrows
down to Mr. Hobart Of New Jersey and
Mr. Evans Of Tennessee. At McKinley's
headquarters it was stated that either Of
these men would be satisfactory, and the
vote OF Ohio viii probably be divided be-
tween them.
