the majority report and threw the whole
convention into a state of wild enthusi-
asm.
When the congress met every seat in
the main body of the house and the gal
leries was occupied. After the discus
sion closed nearly two hours was con-
sumed by motions, roll calls and parlia :
mentary tactics.
The opposition to the majority report
was led mainly by Missouri delegates.
with some assistance from California.
The delegates were late in assembling.
After the introduction of some minor
resolutions the committee on permanent
organizati ton reported recommending
Hugh Craig for president; C. l.. McCon-
Dell of Minnesota, l.. Bradford Prince
Of New Mexico and Breedlove Smith of
Louisiana for first, second and third
vice presidents. respectively. 1t further
recommended that each delegation
choose an additional vice president, and
that the election of a secretary and as :
sistant secretary be deferred until the
place of the next meeting be fixed The
report was unanimously adopted
The next business before the congress
was the discussion of the majority ana
minority reports of the committee on
resolutions. 1t was arranged that Dor
sey of Nebraska and Ford of California
should control the time in favor of the
majority and minority reports, respect
iveiy on the silver question.
Ford said the supporters of the minor
ity report would probably want but little
time and he desired that opportunity be
given to any delegate to speak on that
side who might SO desire. He then read
the minority report, the chief point of
which was that the silver question was
political issue and therefore should not
be discussed in this non partisan body
The resolution indorsing the free coin,
age OF silver reported by the majority of
the committee was then read and c. S.
Thomas of Colorado proceeded to ad-
dress the house in the affirmative. He
said ii had been claimed that all politi-
cal questions. in their last analysis, We're
economic. Whether this be true of all
political issues, it certainly is of the sill
yer question. He urged reasons why this
body should discuss and express itself
on this great issue, denied that the Re-
publican party was a single gold stand
ard party, and declared that the great
governments of Europe could see the
handwriting on the wall; that this giant
republic was about to restore silver and
that they must prepare to fall in line.
