At 2 O'Clock the rugh resolution was
displaced and tho silver bond bill was
taken up, Mr.. Teller continuing his re-
marks. The senator said gold was now
ut a premium. The banks had practically
suspended payment of gold. II was a
commodity that was sold Just like corn
or wheat. But while the banks suspended
gold payment. the treasury insisted on
such payments And this condition bad
come without silver legislation.
Mr.. Allison asked Mr.. Teller II he be-
lievcd with his party associates that the
industrial dcpre ssion was due TO the tariH.
Mr.. Teller said that he did.
Mr., Allison further asked II Mr.. Teller
thought any real difference existed be-
tween the democrats and republicans on
the financial question.
Mr.. Teller said the difference was no
slight as hardly to be detected on the
gold question.
The senator, proceeding. said the gold
element In tho senate and In the country
had never yet presented monetary sye-
tenn. The four senators representing the
gold elemen: on the finance cofhhiit'e'
had never offered system.
MIR. Plat Of Connecticut, OF the finance
committee, said he would suggest sys-
tenn, namely the payment or custom outics

Mr.. Teller said this showed the entire
absence of any philosophical money ques-
ton. Here was a proposition which would
destroy the parity OF the metals. ana

of the finance committee. II Indicated
that n place on the finance committee

Mr.. Teller arraigned the policy OF is5u-
ing bonds, with view. he said, to build
ing up permanent bonded debt to be
borne by posterity.
Mr. Sherman arose as soon as Mr.. Teller
closed.
Tho silver discussions, said Mr.. Sherman,
WAS nurely a discussion, Nc doubt there
was a silver majority In the senate, hut
the country had settled down to the idea
that silver coinage would bring us to a
single standard OF silver. and was undc-
sirablc. State after State had taken this
position. The use OF both metals the

the best.

trouble. and the house had offered an
emergency tariff bill TO overcome that de-
ficieney. Such legislation should not be

Mr.. cockrell asked Mr., Sherman II he
meant TO say that the relief proposed was

Mr.. Teller asked II Mr.. Sherman thought
the bond bill would afford relief.
Mr.. Sherman answered that he did. The
government has suffered heavily from
selling per cent bonds and this afforded
an opportunity for per cent bonds,
Mr.. Teller asked how long It was IN

Mr.. shcrman--As long ns 1t Is necessary

the course OF this administration.

man, 1.-THE republican party stands here

Mr.. Teller referred to the selling OF
bonds fo- the purpose OF securing gold.
''If there had been no deficiency. there
would have been no loss OF gold.' said
Mr.. Sherman. "The gold has remained In
the treasury for years, but rs soon az
there was n deficiency the gold began to
go because the gold was used to pay cur

caused a fright about gold losses. The

noon demonstration took Mace
The great demonstrations OF the COM
vention to-day were the stampede 10 Bry-
an of Nebraska at the close of his speech
on the platform and the reception TO SEN
atOr Hill Of New York, when he took the
stand 10 speak for the minority report Of
the platform committee. Despite the fact
that he was led 10 the sacrifcial altar on
the temporary craftsmanship idea, Senator
HiH has suil been the hero Of the cOnveu-
ton who overshadOWed all others until
the appearance of the Boy Orator of the
Platte" on the scene of action. Both the
silver majority, who practically felt il 10
De their cause to run their glttering
blades through him, and the gallants of
rhe sound money democrats who have fol-
lowed him in his great fight have paid
their highest tribute TO him individually.
In leading the forlOrn hope of the minority
10 the defeat that none realized was more
certain than himself. He won the admira-
tion Of the whole convention.
From the opening session the cry of
Hill "Hil,' came from the galleries
almost constantly, but the New York
leader kept his seat upon the floor until
the time came for him 10 make the protest
or his followers against the Intolerance
and folly of the majority When Senator
Hlll walked down the aisle to the presi-
dents stand, with the protest of the
sound money democrats grasped tightly
IN his hand and was recognized by the
chairman, IL seemed that the convention
rose as one man. This and the shouts
mat came from the thousands of throats
filled the place with mighty roar. Hand
kerchiefs, flags umbrellas, canes, news
papers and everything else that could be
laid hold upon 10 add 10 the demonstra-
tion, were let loose. 1t was not the wild
shouting of triumph, but a great sponta-
neOus tribute to the man whom the con-
vention recognized as the hero of the
day-the hero even in the defeat Of his
cause. For fifteen minutes the cheering
and shouting was kept up, making
tribute that has probably no parallel in
American politics.
The Bryan stampede was a very difficult
sort OF demonstration. Senator Hills ap-
pearance had been expected and waited
for ana the outburst was the expansion
of the pent-up desire OF the vast assem-
bly, to honor him for his brave and gal
liant championship of a lost cause. It
was such an outpOuring of feeling as q
defeated army might lavish upon an idol
lied leader with whom they had gone
down, not by the unworthiness of theiF
cause, but by the force OF might alone.
With the man from Nebraska, il was
the sudden bursting of a cyclone In his
opening he was warmly received, but his
presidential boom had not yet reached
sufficient proportions to give him more
than a handful of followers on the floor.
For the Daniel Webster-like Nebraskan,
however, 1t was the golden opportunity,
and he seized it. He is an emotional man,
and he had an emotional audience on
