sounded from the galleries and here

demonstration was brief. The noise
continued and the chairman of the
Indiana delegation was so enraged

journ. Another indignant delegate
asked that the galleries be cleared, but
when the ergeant-at-arms threatened
to clear them, the galleries only

TESTS
from ex-senator Martin, of Kansas, and

advantage she would gain by reason
of a. single gold standard, she is not
jealous of her silver-producing sister
states, and joins with the people for a

The Democracy of California recent

unit for the free and unlimited coinage

of the Democratic party for a fancied
alliance with England, and now this

This great state extends her hand
toward the Atlantic seaboard and asks
to be. met half way and that a west
