FAIRBANKS ADDRESS.

Mr.. Fairbanks addressed the convention
as follows
Gentle of the Conventional am pro-
foundly grateful for this expression of
your generous confidence. AS citizens we
we're never called upon to discharge a
moro important duty than that which
rests upon us-the nomination of a pres
ident and vice president of the United
States. This duty is a peculiarly impress
sive one at the moment. for it is already
written in the book of fate that the
choice of this convention will be the next
president and vice president of this great
republic. Three years of democratic ad-
ministration have been three years of
panic, of wasted energy, of anxiety and
loss to the American people without a
parallel in history.
To-day the people turn to the repub-
lican party, hopefully. confidently, and
it is for us to meet their expectations
it is for US to give them those candidates
upon whom their hearts have centered,
and to give them a clear, straightfor-
ward, emphatic expression of our politi-
cal faith The republican party is a par
ty of convictions; and it has written It's
convictions in the history of the repub-
lie with the pen and with the sword.
With it the supreme question always has
been not what is merely polite, but what
is right. The great men We have given
to the nation ana 10 history, the mighty
dead and the iilustrious living, are our
inspiration and our tower of strength. II
we are but true to their exalted exam
ple we can not be false to our country
men.
For third of a century prior to the
advent of the present democratic adj
ministration we operated under laws en-
acted by the republican party. All great
measures concerning the tariff and the
currency originated with it. Tariff laws
were formed upon lines which protected
our laborers and producers from un.
equal and unjust foreign competition
and upon the theory that the best mar
ket in the world is the home market
and that it should be enjoyed by oul
own countrymen.
Currency Question.
Under the currency laws our currenc,
was made national. The wildcat STATE
bank money of the democratic party wal
wiped out of existence. The unprece
denied demands growing out of the wa
were met by paper currency which ul
timately became as good as gold. Sine

FOR a BrMETALLIsr PRESIDENT
The Silver Forces Should Unite, Says
Hartman of MOntnn

St. Louis, June 19-Representative
Charles II. Hartman Of Montana was
asked by a reporter of the Associated
Press what he thought the action of the
delegation in repudiating the plank of the
republican platform would have on the
coming campaign. He replied as follows:
"If all the bmetallist forces Of the
country can be centered upon one ean-
didate, there will be no difficulty in my
judgment in having a bimetallist oresi-
dent and a bimetallist congress elected
this fall The end and aim of ali the
supporters of bimetallism should be to
promote the nomination Of the strongest
candidate that can be obtained. 1t should
not be a question simply of individual
preference of any citizen. but the promi-
nent question which every bimetallist in
all parts and all sections ought to ask
himself is What will bring to that
ticket the greatest number Of electoral
votes?
''If the democracy at Chicago desires
to make the success of bimetallism a GER
tainty they will not hesitate to take a
step which viii practically render GER
tain the reputation of the gold standard
( and reconciliation of silver by naming
| Teller for president and some equally
splendid patriot of their own party for
} vice president"

No MORE MoNEY.-A special meet
ing of tt Virginia republican campaign
committee was held yesterday. 1t is
reported that very interesting COM
munication was received from the ma.
tional committee and that it was to the
effect that if the factional fight in this
State was not stopped Immediately that
no more money would be sent here.
This news almost broke up the COM
mittee. The barrel that Hanna sent
down here has been all that has been
holding the members together.

day we're of 3 highly intereating order,
The leaders of both factions who were

ing, if possible, until after the election.
The national committee is in earnest
about Withdrawing its pecuniary assist
ance to Virginia republicans. The big
leaders know that nothing can be done
in Virginia with factional row on and
they are thoroughly disguised with it.
II the fight doesn't stop at once the
flow of money from national headauar-
tiers will stop and this means that state
headquarters must close, The Cam

leave the stump and Virginia turned
over to the democrats with no one if

ranks-Richmond State.

Boston, Sept. 26.-Last night acting
under the direct advice Of Hon. George
Fred Williams, the free silver leader
of the State, his friends took possession
of Music Hall after Bryan had spoken.
Their purpose was to remain in pos
session until the democratic State con-
vention assembled this morning, the
determination being the result of the
charge made by Mr. Williams that the
State committee leaders intended
to pack the hall in the interest
of the men opposed to the Chicago
platform and candidates. The charges
rejecting upon the integrity of the
democratic State central committee
were vigorously denounced and Will
liams's assertions were branded by
members of the committee as false.
