CONVENTION HALL, CHICAGO, July
10.--Go7ernor Waller, Of Connecticut,
In the convention hall, this morning,
said to a representative of the United
Press: "The action Of this conven,
tion has left only one course for the
sound money men to pursue. They
must, II they desire to hold the demo-
cratic party together in the east, call a
convention and nominate man upon
. gold platform. This convention as
sembled here has sounded the death
knell of free silver; their high-handed
method Of procedure will be re-
seated by democrats generally. Silver
men have over-ridden themselves and
left a way open for the gold men to
bolt their nominees"
The New York men say that all the
gold adherents in the convention have
agreed to stand together, to-day, but
will neither vote in nor bolt from the
convention.
THE CONVENTION OPENS.
The fourth days session Of the dem
ocrric national convention opened in
sorrid heat, this morning, untempered
by any OF the cooling breezes that have
hitherto favored the gathering. The
