or FREQ silver faction and the single issue
or gold standard delegates from the cast.
The Sight was pfooipitated few moments
after the convention was called to order

The free silver faction carried the day,
however; elected o. W. Stewart OF Illinois
perpanent chairman over A. A. Stevens
OF Pennsylvania, who was hacked by the
gold standard delegates, and the free sill
yer foction IS IN nm ecstasy Of delight over
abe victory.
Tho convention was heldin Music hall,
at tho exposition building, and thoro were
over 5000 spectators in attendance IL
was not os large a crowd as the leaders
had expected, but there were enough peo-
ple TO fill the big hall and what they lack
