j. r. Williams, Of Illinois. also seconded the
nomination OF Bland. speaking Of him man
who had done more than any other American foT
the restoration Of silver He spoke OF having
served with Bland six years in Congress and or
his demonstrated intelligence and craftsmanship.
1t was true he had not The eloquence OF Web
ster but his statements OF public questions were
always clear and able. and his twenty years In
Congress had given him an experience which few
men had. Obviously hitting at Nice-President
Stevenson OF his own State, he said that this
Convention could not AFFORD 10 nominate candi-
date whose GREATNESS silence on the subject OF
silver would cast suspicion their case. Take
Bland and they would not be asked how long he
had been a Democrat and what were ms views on
silver. Nominate Bland and no Republican words
OF bis against Democracy would rise up in this
campaign 70 chill enthusiasm. II had been SAID

Nominate Bland and four hundred millions OF dol

spear-shaped gusdons which bear the names OF
their States and indicate their position on the
