There were some cries of dissent dur
ing Chairman Longs address. When
the break when the speaker reached
the part Of his address referring TO
Mr.. Cleveland. there was storm OF
Misses. and the demonstration kept UP
so that some of the delegates heard
the conclusion of his address.
Chairman Long read his speech and
stated that he did so instead OF speak
ing extemporaneously, as has been his
custom, because he wanted to be cor
rectly understood at this crisis in the
affairs of the party and of the nation.
There was no applause up to this time
or during the reading of the speech,
and close attention was given to the
address.
THERE WAS A CHANGE OF SCENE
TO one of continuous applause when
Judge Rhea, the champion of free sill
yer, presented the name of Senator
Charles Is. Bronston of Lexington for
temporary chairman, and absolute 81

presented Judg" Alexander Humphreys
of Louisville on the part of the gold
standard men, for temporary chair

Young made an exceptionally lengthy
speech in presenting Humphreys
name He commanded attention until
he referred to Judge Humphreys as
ably representing the views of those
great statesmen. Cleveland and Car
Isle. and then he could not be heard
on account of kissing. Young held the
hoor attempting time after time to
proceed. Ollie James. a free silver
leader, mounted a chair and begged his
fellow delegates to let Young proceed.
after which the latter was able to con-
clude. Numerous seconds to the NOM
nations were made amid confusion.
Chairman Long made
A MOST CAUsTIC SPEECH
in appealing for order, and insisted
that there would be no call of the coun-
ties until ord ar was restored and an
nounced that no one would be recog-
nized pending the call for appeals.
The call OF the 119 counties was inter-
rupted by several contest announce
ments, but was finally announced as
follows: Bronston, representing silver,
and Humphreys. representing gold
Bronston. SOL: Humphreys. 206.
No changing of the vote was al
lowed. The thirty votes of Kenton

for Bronstop, the solid vote of the
Fifth district, which includes Louis
Vile. and good part of the vote of the
mountainous counties in the Tenth and
Eleventh districts being cast for
Humphreys. the gold candidate. He
got some scatterlngs from silver dele
gates. The silver men claim the dele
gates knew Bronston did not need
any help, and. conciliatory as we'll as
comp lirnentary votes are said by them
to have been cast.

A motion was made and numerously
seconded to make Bronston's election
unanimous. There were many objec
tons from tie Louisville delegation
whereupon Chairman Long announced
that he would not put the motion. He
introduced Senator Bronston as the
chairman. Bronston made an eloquent
free silver speech. congra tulating the

tempted by the lure of gold and are a
last securing such standing as to rep
resent the rank and file of the De
nocracy of the commonwealth
He denounced the concentra ton O.
wealth. class legislation and the eff
forts of the money power as well a.
of the soldiers to stife the ill of the
people.
After Bronston's remarkably vigor
Gus and lengthy speech there were re
peate6 calls for John S. Rhea. who ad
dressed the convention on the coinag,

ed with repeated and continuou,
rounds of applause.
