Then came the battle over nominations,
but before 1t began Gen. P. Wat Hardin.
the first leader of the party In this State
under the silver banner, withdrew his name
as a candidate for the nomination for Gov

under rather affecting circumstances. did

convention than all his political workers
have been able to accomplish since the dele

first ballot. when, after William Goebel had
enough votes to give him the nomination.
there was spontaneous outburst of IIar-
din enthusiasm, which lasted for half an
hour. and came very nearly developing into
stampede. As 1t was. Hardin, who had

SPEAKERS CRIED DOWN.
Twenty minutes was allowed each side
for debate on the reports. Many protests
were made by representatives of unseated
delegates and the family quarrels of county
organizations were aired at such length that
In several cases the convention took the
matter in hand and cried down several OBJ
