of the cut-and-dried order, the results

clared his intention of supporting Bland
for the presidency.
A large banner portrait of the Nilsson

of st. Louis, and the convention went
wild with enthusiasm for Bland. It
required all the efforts of the anti-Bland
house TO prevent a stampede. The
state ticket was finally taken up again
but at a late hour the convention ad-
journed until tomorrow.

I admit that no argument that can De
advanced will in the slightest degree in
fiuence or change the verdict which is
already 10 be entered. I feel now as
though I was trying a case before a
jury who cared nothing for the evidence
and whose verdict was already signed
against my client. 1t is almost unnec-
essary for me to say that 1t is with feel
ing of great regret that it is necessary
for me to take the course which L am
about to take, but 1 say to you in all
sincerity that / could not obtain the
consent of ay own conscience TO sit in
convention and passively acquiesce in
fastening upon the people of this coun-
try, by adopting this platform, a sys-
tenn of finance which, in my judgment,
will result in impoverishment of the
producing classes, in defeating the
rights and opportunities of labor to re-
ceive continuous remunerative employ
ment, and TO that extent denying TO the
citizens of this country the rights which
they, as free men, under the laws of a
free government ought to have. There
for, with full knowledge of the import
ance of my act, thoroughly appreciat-
