are met to protest against the ridicu-
lous fallacy that is invading our par
ty." He tried to demonstrate that
the bankers and merchants had felt
the panic a few year ago., but the
farmer was only feeling it now, and
grasped this fallacy in the hope of OBJ
tanning relief, that could not possibly
come by the adoption of a gold stand

man, who said in part:
MEANS DISRUPTION.
This meeting has been called and
this great assemblage has gathered,
because the nation and the Democratic
party are both face to face with an
impending crisis. History repeats it
self. 1t is now SO years since a memoir
able Democratic convention met in 1860.
Then, also, both nation and the Demo-
cratic party stood az to face with an
impending crisis. Then there was at
stake the unity of the nation. Now it
is the nations honor. That honor must
be preserved. The agonies and waste
Of war, North and South, would turn
to wantonness in the pages of our his
tory, if our happily united country
should have been preserved only to be-
come a defaulter and to pay it's debts
with ffty-cent dollars.

vention against silver monometallism
are not all gold monometallists. Many
of us are earnest bimetallists, eager to
see silver and gold made equal in the
coinage of our country. That which
for this crisis, unites ~bimetallists n
gold monometalllists is the awful spec
tire of silver monometal1ism.
w cannot hope to appeal with sue
cess to all Of the silver delegates. The
great body of them would not even
listen to persuasion. The wild charac-
ter of the movement is shown in it's
fury and anger. But there must be
many silver delegates who find them
selves out of touch with fury n
recklessness and who can still be made
to see where this passion and excite
ment is carrying them and their party,
and possibly their country. To their
sober reason this meeting is an appeal.
They may still listen to the solemn
warnings of dispassionatee men, dis
passionate Democrats: dispassionate
Americans. We are here without pas

senator Hill, Of New Yorksgand Gov.
Russell, of Massachusetts, were the OBJ
jects of the greatest enthusiasm. That
directed toward the New York senator
was wasted, however, for he failed to
put in an appearance. During every
lullI in the proceedings the enthusiasts
cried fiercely for Hill and Russell.
When finally their demands were an
swered by the bow of the brilliant young
Bay state statesman and a reference
by Mr.. MacVeagh. who, as presiding
officer, introduced the speakers to the
fact that in what he termed "a normal
Democratic year." Mr.. Russell would
be one of the foremost candidates for
the-the highest honor in the gift of his
party. there was such a responsive
cheer as would fiatter any public man.
Mr.. Russell's speech was rather more
conciliatory in it's tone than certain
others, although there was little of
defiance in any, for the tenor of the
meeting was an appeal to the silver
men to turn back from their contem-
plated committal Of the party to free
coinage n to refrain from disrupting
the organization as the speakers
predicted the silver campaign would
do.
Only once did the silver sympathizers
in the audience manifest their feelings
with any vehemence. The single put
break occurred when Mr.. MacVeagh
attacked the administration of Gov.
Altgeld; an attack which inspired an
overwhelming protest of bowls, Kisses
and groans from the galleries, met by
counter cheers from the floor, the
demonstration seeming to indicate that
the governor had many friends among
the men who filled the upper tiers. AL
together the audience seemed to be
composed of a majority of administra-
ton Democrats, for every allusion to
President Cleveland and every tribute
to his administration was cheered with
enthusiasm.
Ex-Gov. Flower, of New York, called
the meeting to order and said: 1--WE

to elect him., while Teller on an siilde-
pendent ticket, would carry nan sill
yer states out of the Democratic
column.
Quite as interesting as the candi-
dates and booms were the several con-
spicuous figures who had arrived on
the scene of action. Senator Hill, ex-
Secretary Whitney and ex-Gov. Flower
came in for marked attention. Mr.. Hill,
in particular was besieged by an eager
crowd, for although the New York
senator has been prominent in public
life, he has not been a familiar con-
Nention figure, and there was a general
desire to see him. He received all
corners affably, but as the morning
advanced, the miscellaneous reception
gave away for the serious work ahead
of the senator and his associates. Mr..
Whitney's smile gave little evidence of
anxiety as to the result. He was a very
busy man. the various elements OPP
posed to silver seeming to look to him
to devise the means to stem the silver
tide.
At the Sherman house, where the sill
Yer forces rule, there was the some
what tense feeling marking the deter
mined attitude Of the silver forces
within recent days. Senator Jones, of
Arkansas, the recognized field marshal
of the silver ranks conferred with the
leaders from various sections n
mapped out the decisive policy which is
fast maturing. He expressed the con-
fidence of positive conviction in the
success of his forces and this had been
confirmed by the reports to the silver
caucus last night. The committee
named at the caucus, and from each
silver delegation, was busy making it's
canvass on which exact count of the
silver strength will be made.

but with a perfect vision of the crisis
that is being forced upon the party
and the nation.
This questionable majority in the
convention. if not arrested by conser-

cratic party. But what does defeat on
this issue mean? Who can fail to
know that If the Democratic party shall
borrow this Popuaistic issue from the
Populists and befdefeated, it will not

all that series of historic attempts to

leave the Democratic party hopelessly
discredited for many years to come.
And what then is to become of all
those great interests and policies apd
noble impulses and aims Of Democracy
which the Democratic marty alone can
champion and defend? Who among the
silver leaders think OF them or seems
to care the snap of his finger for them?

IA knows that it must inevitably

When Mr. MacVeagh finished there
were cries of "Hill," Russell" and
Whitney," and a joker in the gallery
called "Altgeld." When, quiet was re-

CHICAGO. July 4.-The great public

District Attorney John r. Fellows, Of

The audience was a well dressed one
and seemed to include very few dele

practical success of the meeting, as a

A large portion of the people were la

approval of the doctrine preached. it
