To that extent it was dramatic, but it
was more pathetic than anything else,
because it was evident MIR. Teller took this
course as a matter of conscience and prin-
ciple and without any other reason. This
was fully understood, and it was for this
reason his associates exhibited equal marks
of friendship and regret.
Notwithstanding that this was a family
quarrel, in which two factions were ar
rayed against each other, it was char
acterized by genuine interchange of
courtesies which robbed it of all the Bit
terness which usually accompanies party
schism.
Senator Frank Cannon of Utah, still in
the thirties-a Republican from boyhood
and deeply attached to the principles of
the party-exhibited almost equal feeling
at terminating his political affiliations.
Notwithstanding the radical position
assumed by the silver men, it is noticeable
that only four-Senators Teller Dubois
and Cannon and Mr.. Cleveland of Ne
vada-announced that they would leave
the party. Two others of the committee
Representative Hartman of Montana and
DR.. Mott of North Carolina-stated that
my WIZ SbAAA anu MOQ4Q
stick to the party.
When the convention adjourned until
tomorrow, instead of taking recess I'M
til P. NJ. as it was expected to do in order
to hear the report OF the committee on
resolutions, which it was stated would be
ready at that hour, rumors were circulated
in the convention hall that this course
had been taken because several States had
threatened to bolt because of the financial
plank. Investigation failed to disclose
any foundation for these rumors. The
vote OF 545h to 35915, by which the con-
vention, at the bidding of the credentials
committee, refused to reopen any of the
contested cases settled by the National
Committee, clearly showed that the Ohio
leaders had the convention well in hand,
even in matters where many of the dele
gates felt strong personal interest.
The mem bers of the committee on reso-
lutions expressed much Indignation to-
night that in a CARRIED account of the
platform published this morning they
should have been represented as decIar-
ing war against Spain by pledging the Re-
publican nominee to armed Intervention
in Cuba. They state that the language
employed in the platform simply pledges
the good offices OF the United States to
bring about peaceful settlement.

Arizona, Nevada, North Carolina and New
Mexico.
Before the sense of the committee was
taken on the gold plank Mr.. La Toilette Of
Wisconsin arose to personal explana-
ton.
He drew attention to a statement made
by Teller that himself and Mr.. Gear of
Iowa had performed the principal work in
the preparation of the tariff law OF 1890,
which had been popularity credited to Mr..
Mckinley, and said that while the mem
bers of the committee discharged the
duties entrusted to them faithfully it was
not true that any one man on earth had
prepared as much of the measure as Mr..
Mckinley, but that his ideas and spirit
dominated everything in connection with
the bill, when the subcommittee were
preparing the schedules and before they
were submitted to Mr.. Mckinley, who led
in all the discussion. The same rare abil-
ity enabled him also, when it was taken
into the House, to pass it through that
body without amendment.
Such statements as Senator Teller made,
La Toilette continued, were an injustice to
Mckinley. They had been continually
repeated, and it was time now that the
country should be acquainted with the
real facts connected with the formulation
of the bill which bore Major McKinley's
name.
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1896-06-18

The chairman of the committee on res
olutions was recognized and reported that
the platform would be ready at P NJ.
Discussion was then commenced under
the previous question, the majority and
minority reports, each side being allowed
twenty minutes.
Mr.. Fort of New jersey opened the dis
cussion. He said the minority of the COM
mittee made their proposition; first, to
open all the contested cases; second, to
seat the Addicks delegation from Della
ware, and third, to seat the Quincy delega-
ton from Texas.
He opposed all the propositions. The
committee on credentials had by a vote
of 81 to IA determined to accept the roll as
made up by the National Committee, with
the exception of Delaware and Texas, on
which the National Committee had taken
no action. One hundred and sixty men,
he said, had appeared before the National
Committee by counsel or otherwise and
had been heard-a longer time than the
committee on credentials could give them
unless it stayed in session for a full week
If they got all the time they wanted
the committee would be in session for

temporary roll should stand. Ithad given
three hours and a half to the Delaware
case and over two hours to the Texas case.
And the committee had recommended
that he Higgins delegation be seated be-
cause the delegates headed by Addicks did
not represent the Republicans of Delaware
or anywhere else. Applause and laugh
ter.
The record before US, continued Mr..
Fort showed that Mr.. Addicks entered
into combination in Delaware, and with
four men in the Legislature united with
the Democratic party and the Democratic
Governor and agreed not to allow United
States Senator to be elected from
there. The fact of the matter IS simply
this:
A majority of the National Committee
believed under the evidence that Mr.. Ad-
dicks and his partners in Delaware were
highwaymen on the way to political for
tune, no matter what the result. Cheers.
And as rebuke to the Addicks men, and

Mr.. Yerkes of Kentucky was heard

The other side of the question was sup
ported by Mr.. Hepburn OF Iowa, who
spoke for the minority Of the committee

vention for fairness. The American peo-
pie love fairness He repeated that there
had been no hearing on the merits of 160

Senators Teller, Dubois and Cannon, made
plain their positions before the resolutions
committee, and what course Senators
Carter and Mantle would pursue has
been a matter of general interest.
The former this afternoon notified
the silver men that he could not go
with them, and that if they bolted and
left the convention and the Republican
party they must do so without him. Mr..
Mantle has not yet notified his colleagues
to the same effect, but will probably do so
tomorrow morning.
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1896-06-18

Mr.. La Toilette then, addressing himself
specifically to the money plank, moved to
amend the last section by striking out the
words. NOW in circulation" so that it
should read that sail our silver and paper
currency must be maintained at parity
with gold" etc. He argued, in support of
his amendment, that wrong construc-
ton might be placed upon the plank as it
stood.
He feared it might be construed as a
pledge to contract the circulating medium
so that no more silver should be coined or
papef currency be issued. 1t would hurt
the Republican party in States where it
would be hard pressed, although it would
make no difference in his own State of
v isconsin.
Mr.. Lodge of Massach usetts opposed the
amendment. He did not wish to be placed
in the position of encouraging any further
coinage of silver by the Government.
Arguments in a similar strain were made
by Mr.. Merriam of Minnesota and Mr..
Patterson of Illinois. Mr.. Gear of Iowa
and Mr. Brewer of Michigan supported
the amendment. The chairman. Mr.. Fo-
raker of Ohio, agreed with Mr.. La Toilette
that the words should be stricken out and
this was accordingly done.
The vote on the adoption of the gold
plank as amended was then ordered and
it passed-ayes 40, noes IL. The negative
vote was cast by the foregoing silver men,
who favored the Teller substitute, with
the addition of the mem Der from Okla
homa.
The discussion on the remainder of the
platform was general but of no especial
interest, and it was adopted without
division, number of the silver men hav-
ing already absented themselves from the
meeting.

The most striking incidents of the day
were not in the convention, although the
proceedings were trifle more animated
than yesterday, but i'll the meeting of the
committee on resolutions, where Senator
Teller declared that he could no longer re-
main in the Republican ranks after the
party had been committed to the single
gold standard.
The high personal esteem the members
of the committee entertain for Mr.. Teller
and the heartfelt regret he so plainly
showed in being compelled to sever life
long ties gave to the scene unusual in

silver Senators and their allies in effect
will leave the Republican party before the

free-silver resolutions offered by Teller.
The silver men held an important con-
ference and agreed in substance on plan
of action. They will submit strong mi

lutions and demand that they be given
time on the floor of the convention to ex-
plain their views. In that time they will
not only make a brief plea for free silver
but will announce without hesitation that
