TO CHANCE ITS HAkE.

In entering into a conspiracy to change
the name of the organization the reputed
leaders of the silver republican party con
fess that it's mission is ended. In order
to cooperate more effectually with the
democracy, Mr.. Towne, the provisional
chairman of the silver republican party.

ed necessary to keep it in touch with the
Bryan men to the extent of repudiating
it's silver title.
When the silver republican party was
organized it was distinctly understood
that it was fully in line with the organ
ization from which it on all
points. save and except the financial
question. To this end it retained the
Republican," supplementing it only with
its badge of distinction from the old or
ganization-the word silver"
nile the Tree coinage question was IN
issue there was no disposition manifested
to change the nam of the silver repub-
lican party. for nothing could be more ex-
pressive of it's sole mission than the title
given it at the outset of it's career. When
its so-called leaders, most of whom are in
the pay of the democratic party, agreed

of the organization, in order to keep in
touch with bourbon treachery to the
white metal, it was a public confession
that not only had the mission of the sill
Yer republican party ended, but that he
organization was to be maintained only
as a feeder for it's fraudulent coadiu-
tors of 1896.
With Bryan and his disciples agreeing
to- the displacement of silver as the para
mount issue of the campaign, in order to
placate the gold wing of the democracy. it
IS quite natural that Towne, Hartman,
and other so-called silver republicans of
that ilk, should follow suit with the or
ganization which they assume to control.
When the compromise between the gold
and silver democrats is ratified at Kansas
City, by placing silver in the background,
and unanimously agreeing that the para
mount issue of 1896 shall not be the para
mount issue of 1900. it might be very en-
barrassing for "silver republicans' to
TAIL into line, on the theory that silver
was being benefited by the arrangement,
10 avoid this. it is proposed that the
name OF the silver republican party shall
be changed to Lincoln republicans, If
the word Lincoln in this connection
means Lincoln, Nebraska, the home of
Colonel Bryan, no one will object tn the
change, as 1t will ave the significance

crate the name of the great emancipator
by hitching it onto a democratic side

LET " Be KOHTAN/AK.

Those who are interested in the min
eral resources OF this state, and who are
being asked to contribute funds for an
exhibit at the Paris exposition, have CALI
ed a halt upon the solicitors, pending a
more thorough inquiry into the move
ment under Roadway.
1t appears thai Governor Smith has
appointed an eastern broker and specu-
lator as Paris commissioner" for the
state of Montana, giving him credentials
to that effect. ~
That gentlenan's sub-agent, another
nonresident, is now in this city solicit
ing funds wherewith to make the pro-
posed exhibit a success. -s7 a. az
1t is claimed that Governor Smith an
pointed a New Yorker to represent the
state Of Montana at Paris, because he
could find no Montanian who would as
sumo that responsibility!
This may or nay not be true, but the
consensus of opinion will be that If suf-
flcient funds are subscribed to make the
undertaking a success any number of
reputable mining men could be found in
this state who would assume the posi-
ton with pleasure.
II Montana is to ave a duly accredited
representative in Paris he should be a
Montanian, thoroughly versed in the
mineral of this state and ca
pable of answering any question which
may be asked concerning this section
of the country.
He should not be a Spectator. inter-
ested in unloading some particular min
ing property in the name of the state,
but a broad-guaged man of affairs, with
the general interests Of the
wealth in view.
Just why his excellency has seen fit to
appoint a nonresident broker as the rep
resentative of the mineral industry Of
this state-a man who is wholly ignorant
of our mineral ~resources-a stranger to
our state-is not so clear.
The opportunities to abuse such a posi-
ton are numerous.
1t lies within the power of the "com-
missioner'-With the guarantee of the
state behind him as to character and
standing-to reap large profits on fake
mining schemes in the name of the com
monwealth. $1,000 ~
AS the official representative of Mon
tana, his guarantees as to this property
or that will be taken for granted, and
Montanians may discover too late that
his commission was used merely for
stock-jobbing purposes, to the lasting
discredit of the state.
1t may be assumed on general princi-
pies that strangers do not volunteer to
represent a great state at Paris without
an object in view. and 1t may also be as
sumed that they do not receive a commits
object in view.
Let it not be said after the conclusion |
of the Paris exposition that Montana has |
lent its good name n character to the /
working of any fake mining scheme upon
the European public.
The best thing that Governor Smith /
issued to Mr.. Darnell of Denver and New |
York. and give it to some worthy Mon |
tanian who can be relied upon to repre-
sent the state. !

DIR. j. f. Bryant. of Southampton,
was chosen as temporary chairman,
and Mr.. II. N. Poulson. of Norfolk, was
chosen temporary secretary of the con-
vention.
Dr. Bryant thanked the convention
for his nomination. and stated that 1t
is fortunate that there were so many
candidates, because that increased the
interest in the approaching campaign
The Republicans are divided, but the
Democrats will harmonic upon the
nominee OF this convention. whoever he

chair, and he Immediately introduced
James ~ Troutman, who, as the rep
resentative OF the mayor of this city,
made a brief speech welcoming Mr..
Bryan TO Topeka. Mr.. Troutman was
formerly Lieutenant Governor of the
State. and he is q Republican in poll
tics. His speech was personally COM
plimentary to Mr.. Bryan. and was fur
Their an appeal for the exercise of the
franchise by all good and intelligent
citizens as the best safeguard of our
institutions. He referred to the vast
throng of people" before him as an
evidence of high regard in which the
distinguished visitor is held, and said
that while he was not authorized to
assure MIR Bryan of the electoral vote
of Kansas, he could assure him of the
admiration of every citizen OF the
State.
Mr.. Troutman was followed by Frank
Doster. Chief Justice OF the State. who
extended the welcome of the State at
large. Judge Doster contented himself
with contrasting the positions OF the
Democrats and Republicans on the
subject of expansion. taking the posi-
ton that the Republicans were look
ing to undue aggression. while the
Democrats were seeking to secure the
maintenance of American institutions.
He was literally cheered.
JERRY SIMPSON SPEAKS.
Mr. Doster was followed by eX-Con-
gresham Jerry Simpson. who was In
tioduced as the permanent chairman
in the absence of National Chairman
Butter. Mr.. Simpson compared Mr..
Bryan with Lincoln and predicted that
he would lead the people back to the
landmark of human liberty which Lin
coin had so materially assisted in es-
tablishing.
Let us trust" he said. that Ne
braska and Kansas. standing side by
side as in 1860. will again give their
support to candidate who has, as the
candidate of that time had. but one
code OF morals, which embraces, as did
Lfncoln's. all men of all times. regard
less OF color or environment"
Virginian-pilot. (Norfolk, Va.) 1898-1911, 1900-08-24

With this Mr.. Simpson introduced
MIR. Patterson, who. as chairman of the
National Populist Convention, became
chairman of the notification committee
Mr. Patterson was received with ap-
plause and his brief speech was loudly
cheered.
Judge a. w. Rucker, who conveyed
TO Mr. Bryan the information OF his en-
dorsement by the United States None
tary League, also curtailed his speech
owing to the heat. He made number
OF points which met with the approval
of the auditors.
MIR. BRYAN INTRODUCED.
When Mr.. Rucker took his seat Mr.
simpson introduced MIR. Bryan, who
was received with a burst of applause.
Mr.. Bryan read the greater part of his
ADDRESS from manuscript. and the de-
livery consumed about forty minutes
When he ceased speaking those pres
ent were invited to shake hands with
MN, and many awaited themselves of
this opportunity to formally greet him
Before beginning his address proper
Mr.. Bryan took occasion to REPLY TO
Mr.. Troutman's welcoming remarks.
This he did eNtemporancously and as
follows:
bipartisan WELCOME.
Il desire i'll the beginning to thank
the authorities of this State and city
for the non partisan welcome which
has been delivered through Mr.. Trout
man. appreciate that liberty of
thought. that generosity too infre-
quent in politics. that enables political
opponents to thus tender the freedom
of the city to whom they do not ngree
on political questions. I am grateful
for the kind words which were spoken
and appreciate the admiration men,
toned. even though that admiration
does not count as much on election
day as simple ballot" (Applause.)
A HIGHER PLANE.
II hope that as the years go by we
shall be able to lift politics to higher
and brighter plane. so that we can
fight out these great questions as cit
liens, equally earnest and equally
honest, each other respecting the
others rights. thank the State ad-
ministration and the city administra-
ton for this courteous and cordial
welcome"
He then began the reading of the
address as originally prepared, only
stopping to interiect few words in
reply to the notification of Judge
Rucker.
EXPLANATORY.
