Finley, of Ohio. raised point OF order that
delegation may direct vote but, by abstain

chair ruled out of order a motion to give the
four delegates a vote.
The chair ruled that instruction was not an
instruction to abstain from voting, but that
the minority can not cast the vote OF the en-
tire delegation
The Ohioan then stated that Al delegates
were for Mclean one for Bryan, one not vot-
ing one Bland, but under the unit rule Ohio
cast its vote for the man who made THIS con-
vention possible-JOhn Mclean.
The purpose of Ohio to get the individual

We demand the free and unlimited coinage
OF both silver ara gold At the present lee y in
OF 10 TO !. wt;ht vi WGitins for the aid ore
OF any other nation We demand IN Q -
standard silver dollar shall be n full legal ten
der. equally with gold for all debts public and
private, AID we favor such legislation as will
prevent the characterization OF any kind of lc-
gal tender money by private contract.
We are opposed 10 the policy and practice
OF surrendering TO The holders Of the obliga-
lions OF abe United States the option reserved
by Law to the government Of redeeming such
obligations in either silver coin OF gold coin.
We are opposed to the issuing OF interest
bearing bonds OF the Uniled States In time of
peace. and condemn the iraflicking with bank
ing syndicates which. in exchange for bonds
ply the FEDERAL treasury with gold TO maintain
the poicy OF gold monometalllsm
Congress alone has the power to coin and
issue money. and President jackson declared
that this power could not be delegated TO cor
porations or individuals.
We therefore denounco the issuance OF
notes intended TO circulate as money by ma
tionRl b1nks as in derogation Of the constitu-
| ton and we demand that all paper which Is
made a legal tender for public and private
debts or which l. receivable for dues TO the

The Home of the Stark BROTHERS Nur-
ssries-One of the Biggest Institutions
In the worId-Its Trade Extends to
Nearly Every Civilized Nation on Earth.
ST. Louis Republic, JtnHdry Z, 1899.
One of the largest institutions in this Stats
Is the Stark Bros Nu.'- cries aud Orchards
company at LOuisianl, Mo. and ROckpOrt,
III. The trade Of the firm extends not only
throughout the United States, Canada, Ger
many, France, Italy, Hungary and other
foreign countries. but 10 has a number Of Gus
toners both in New Zealand and Australia.
Eighty years ago there came from Ken
lucky TO Pike county he late Judge Stark,
then young man fresh from Old HickOry's
New Orleans campaign. He started the
nursery and planted the. first grated or
chard in the state, having brought the sciOns
on horseback from Kentucky.
The business has descended from father
to son, and is now conducted BY the third
generation, assisted by the fourth. This
firm has more than ,O0Otraveling solicitors,
and employs more people in its Offices than
would be necessary 10 run a large manutaS-
turing concern. The extensive packing
houses Of the company are adjacent 10 the
CITY, connected with the railroad by special
tracks Prom these packing houses hun
dreds of carloads Of trees are shipped an
nually The nursery grounds embrace a
number Of farms convenient TO the city. and
even extend 10 ROckport, HIS, where there
Is plant Of several million trees.
The popularity OF the concern IS the
establishment OF large orchards. These
orchards in "A stat : aggregate ne1rly 20,
OOO acres, and more than 3,'OnO0o trees on
the partnership plan. The firm il also in
terestcd in about as many more trees on the
cooperative arrangement.
Louisiana firms have more travelling men
upon the road for them than any other city
Of the world Of its size. This, of course, Is
largely due 10 the large number Of men en-
plOyed by the Stark Bros. Nurseries, who
furnish their men the most complete, up-tO-
date outfit ever issued. They are increasing
their force Of statesmen daily, and room for
more.

A WHOLE town of 500 inha bitants on
the coast of China has adopted Chris
tianity. As a result of relief from a
plague attributed to the prayers of
missionaries, the people held a confer
ence, and, as a town, they resolved to
accept the new religion and worship
the God who helped them. Although
some have fallen away since, the ma
iority remain steadfast, and have con-
tributed more than one hundred dol
lars to build a chapel.

We, the democrats of tho United State IL
national convention assembled do rearirm
our allegiance to those great essential ptIns
eiples OF justice and liberty upon which our
institutions Arc toanded, and which the demo-
srAt,c party has advocated from Jefferson 5
time to our own-freedom OF speech, freedom
OF the press. freedom of conscience, the
preservation Of personal rights, the equality
of all citizens before the la and the faithful
observance Of constitutional Limitations.
During all these years the democratic party
has resisted the tendency OF selfish interests
to the Capitalization Of governmental power
and steadiastly maintained the integrity OF
the dual scheme Of government established by
the founders Of this republic OF republics
Under its guidance and teachings the great
principal OF local self-goyernmcnt has found
Its best expression in the maintenance Of the
rights o. the states and in its assertion OF the
necessity OF combining the general government
TO the exercises OF the powers granted by the
constitution 81 the Uuited States
The consu tulion OF the United States
guarantees 10 every citizen the right OF civil
and religious liberty. Inc democratic party
has always been the eKronent Of political lib=
erty and religious freedom. and a rentws its
obligations and resilirms ITS devotion TO these
fundamental principles Of the constitution
Recognizing that the money question is par
amount 10 all others at this time, we invite
attention 10 the fact that the federal consti-
tuition names silver and gold together as tho
money metals of the United States. and that
the first coinage law parsed bv congress under
the constitution made tho silver dollar the
monetary unit OF value and admitted gold to
free coinage al a ratio measured by the silver
dollar unit
We declare that the act OF 1873 dcmonetizing
silver without the knowled.e or approval OF
the American people has resulted in the ap-
| probation OF gold and corresponding fail In
the prices Of commodities produced by the
people. a heavy increase in the burden Of tax
alton and OF all debts puolic aud private; the
enrichment Of the moncy-lending class at
home and abroad: poSiration of industry. and
] impoyerishment OF the Tcoplc

In the face of this severe test, out of the
class of seven, 'hree were perfect and, of
the remaining four, the lowest passed by
a mark of over 93 per cent. These fig
ures tell their own story, and are worth
pondering over. Tho tutors of the class
were Superintendent Largent, Miss
Edgerton and Miss Houliston. OF course
the pupils are bright, but certainly a
large share of the credit must be awarded
the teachers, and this leads TO 3 mention
of tho differences that exist between The
trustees as to the retention of the super
intandent. If the record, not only Of
this class, but Of the classes generally is
any evidence Of the fitness OF the super
