THE GOLD MEN
VICTORIOUS.
Defeated SiIverites i'm Convention
Of Connecticut Democrats.
Morgan Nominated.

Bridgeport. Sept. 22.-No sooner had
the chairman raped for order at the
Democratic convention yesterday after
noon than the great contest OF silver and
gold men, which had been gathering
force for months. was given inception.
TIE committee on resolutions, which had
been In star chamber session for nearly
four hours, announced its readiness to
report and through its chairman, Alex
ander Troup OF New Haven, presented
to the convention platform. the body
of which was unanimously recommended
by the committee. but which was pre-
faced by preambles sustained by the gold
and silver factions respectively. The
silver preamble insisted upon a reaf-
firmation OF the Chicago platform; the
gold men demanded the elimination OF
such reaflirmation and declared for
"Jefrersonian b.anetallism."
Then followed a chain of extraordln-
ary happenings. the like OF which has
never been seen in any political conven-
tion ia the history Of the state. For
four hours adebate was conducted which
beggars description. Dozens of men
were on their feet at a time and Chair
man Kennedy was kept almost contin-
ualy busy in his efforts to preserve or
der For the last two hours OF the de-
bate, which was participated in by at
least $50 delegates, the convention was
repeatedly hurled into an uprcar, and
the elegates. Jumping to their feet
shouted thrashed the air snd hurled in
vective, until to the spectators the pro-
ceedings surpassed a farce and were
unanimously characterized as pitiful.
Upon several occasions the utter dis
Indignation of the convention seemed
possible ard It was only after the more
conservative leaders had shouted them
selves hoarse that a semhlance of order
was restored and the convention resumed
the debate, only to be soon thrown into
renewed pandemonium
For the gold men George l.. Gum of
Milford was the leading speaker, while
of the more conservative silver men Mr..
Troup ard Hcmer Cummings were the
champions. The lnstigators OF disorder
were confined to the more rabid dele
gates ard IL required the combined ef-
forts OF chairman, secretaries commit
teemen and leaders to bring order out of
the chaos.
Finally the q, invention itself became
exaspcrated. and derisive cries for vote
were heard. At o'clock ballot was
taken. IL. was by rollcall and occupied

\ pority platform FOR the gold majority
platform was lost by vote OF f4l TO l5S
and the silver men had been routed by
IL votes. The entire platform or the gold
men was then adopted by acclamation.
The opening planks read: The De-
mocracy OF Connecticut is now rs 1t has
ever been in favor Of bimetallism an
enunciated by Jefferson, affording as 1t
does the most stable standard OF value.
and we declare ourselves unalterably
opposed to monometallism of any kind.
"We call attention TO the fact that
while q successful war has been con-
Quoted I'm the cause OF common people
and fresh glory TO the flag, the manage
ment of the various war departments has
chilled our exultation and brought home
to us sense of shame. The American
sailor and soldier have done their full
duty, but the administration OF President
Mckinley has been utterly incompetent

management of the war imposed. In
competency and venality in places of
high trust Brought disgrace upon the
administration and aroused the ire of an
indignant people. In this arraignment
OF the Republican party for its manage
ment OF the war we include the United
States senators from Connecticut and
our four representatives in congress"
The ticket was selected as follows:
Daniel Morgan of Bridgeport for gov
crnor; Joseph T. Tanning OF Norwich,
state secretary; Asa NJ. Ross OF Thomp-
son. treasurer; Edward s. Roberts of
Canaan. comptroller; Levi N. Blyden-

Denver, Sept. 22.-Chaplain ]. p. Me-
Intyre OF the Oregon has been stricken
with nervous prostration. and the ply
sician who is attending him says that he
may be confined to his bed for some time.
1t is probable that the court-martial
which has been ordered TO convene in

chaplain on the charge OF having un-
fairly criticised the action of Admiral
Sampson and Captain Evans in the San

pone proceedings for several weeks.
Mr.. Mcintyre has not been officially
notified of the nature of the charges
against him, or OF the date of his trial.
and this has seemed TO worry him con-
siderably. He Is staying at the house OF
a friend.
The first charge Is 'scandalous con-
duct tending 10 the destruction Of good
morals" There are three specifications
under the charge. in brief that he re-
ferred to Admiral Sampson as report
ing himself within four miles Of the
Colon when she struck her colors in order
to get his share Of prize money; second.

f1cations OF the first charge with an ad-

public and contemptuous" reference to
Captain Evans as "fshtinI Bob" The
