Teller had made his final appeal to
the convention not tc take the step
which would drive him and his coll
leagues ont from the ranks of the
party which in the past honored them
and they had delighted to serve, and
the convention had voted, siSl6 to
1861, to stand by the gold declaration
in the platform, no one who wit

ing people as he read the valedictory
OF the silver men.
lie stood erect and defiant, his pale
face set in grim determination as
those before him tried to cry him
down until the very courage he dis
played won for him the admiration
which compelled silence. When he
had finished the reading the crowd in
the galleries burst out again with
their jeers and cries of disapproVal,
but in the most courtly fashion he
turned and shook hands with Senator
elect Foraker, the chairman of tho
committee on resolutions, Permanent
Chairman Thurston and other friends
on the platform. Then, locking arms
with Senator Teller, the two men left
the stand and moved down between
the walls OF yelling delegates to
where the standard of the Idaho dele.

delegates from the states of Utah and
Montana, notably Senators Carter and
Mantle, OF the latter state, preferring
TO subscribe to the platform than to
sever their allegiance to their party,
and the delegates, only few otwhom
displayed any bitterness toward what
they believed to be the misguided
eours, of their colleagues, breathed a
sigh OF relief when il was over.
The silver men who bolted immedi-
ately perfected plans TO place Senator
Teller in nomination as an independ-
ent candidate for President, in the
hope the Democrats at Chicago, If con-
trolled BY the silver men, would place
his name at the head Of their ticket
After this sensational incident, the
convention turned to the work OF Sc
lecting the standard bearers. 1t was
\ foregone conclusion that Mckinley
would be nominated, but the pent up
enthusiasm Of the friends Of the Ohio
candidate found full vent.

With the greatest enthusiasm by their
