senate. his voice was inadequate in such
a vast hall. Besides, he spoke from man

these explosives added to the disturb

They overflowed from the galleries into
the pit and crowded along the side
aisles. 1t was estimated that fully 25. 600
people were in the building, and nothing
could be heard above the indescribable
hum of SO many voices. In vain Chair

would neither bulge nor be quiet. When
at last Senator Turpie mentioned the
name Of the Indiana man. the Hoosier
delegation mounted their chairs and
cheered. A few tin horns sounded from
the galleries, and here and there a flag
was waved, but the demonstration was
brief. The noise continued and the
chairman Of the Indiana delegation was
so enraged that he moved that the con-
vention adjourn.
Another indignant delegate asked that
the galleries be cleared, but when the
sergeant-at-arms threatened to clear
them the galleries only hooted. Then the
sergeant-at-arms held another threat
over the spectators. He announced that
unless the galleries preserved order the
session tomorrow would be held behind
closed doors, and no one would be ad

word of admonition from Chairman
Richardson sufficed to silence the crowd.

OIL 10 10 !. In recognition of the wishes
or her people, the Republican party of
that great state sent to the recent con-
Fentlon at St Louis a delegation in

coinage of silver. That delegation re-

Ihe Democracy of California recently
assembled in the largest and most en-
tnusiastic convention ever held in the
state, and that convention also unani-
mously instructed it's delegates to this
convention to vote as unit for the
free and unlimited coinage of silver at
the ratio of 16 to 1. The delegates to
this convention will return to their
homes flushed with victory to receive the
plaudits of a grateful people,
AT st. Louis was heard the voice of
Wall street. at which England rejoiced.
Today is heard the voice of the people

That western man be selected as the

This is convention of the people, and
what is more proper for this convention
to do than to select as it's standard
bearer man who comes from the great
class of people-the farmers? Like a
Cincinnatus he was called from the
plow to preside over the destinies of the
great state of Indiana, and so fully has
he met every expectation that he has
sprung into national repute more than
any other man of his generation. 1

from the Pacific slope that If this con-
vention will nominate this distinguished
citizen of the middle west he will lead
to victory for the Democracy in Novem-
