SILVER BABE IS BORN ILLINOIS DEMOCRATS SPONSORS FOR THE CHILD. Demand the 16 to 1 Ratio. a“d Ask the National Committee to Call u Currency Convention -Policy of the Administration Criticised. Silver in the Saddle, Springfield correspondence: Illinois Democrats in convention declared unqualifiedly in favor of the free coinage of silver at a ratio of 16 to 1 with gold. This declaration was adopted without one dissenting voice from the Na* delegates who composed the »- 'nvenlion. Ihe delegates also went on record as being in favor of the holding of a national Democratic convention, to take action on the money question. John I’- Hopkins, of Chicago; W. H. Hinrichsen. of Jacksonville; George W. Fithian, of Newton, and L. B. Parsons, of Flora, were named as delegates-at-large from this State to attend such convention if one shall be called by the properly constituted Democratic authorities. By 10 o’clock in the morning the streets were thronged with silverites who had W. H. HEtRICHsEX, The moving spirit of the convention. come from all parts of the Stare.

age of silver and altogether no small degree of enthusiasm prevailed. As early as 9 o’clock the different congressional delegations began holding caucuses in the rooms of the capital building for the pur pose of selecting committees on credentials. rules, permanent organization and resolutions. It was after 11 o’clock when i the committees concluded their work and ! then a stampede was made to get desirable seats. The hall was arranged in regulation gala attire, bunting and flags being draped in reckless profusion. Over the entrance two immense Sags were draped. The galleries were filled as soon as the doors were thrown open, a majority of the occupants being ladies. Chairman Hinrichsen. .now the acknowledged leader of the silver faction, scored I TEMPORARY CHAIRMAN CRAWFORD. the President in the beginning of his speech opening the convention. So radically did he express himself that the gold tnen declared he actually read the President of the United States out of the party. This strain was a popular one. Every time a speaker censured the President the denunciation was echoed by cheers ind applause from the body of the convention. Ex-Congressman William J. Bryan, of Kebraska, took up the denunciation where tlinrichsen left off and drove the conven-

tlon into > frenzy of enthunianm by heaping criticiam on the head of the ua ‘ lon * l administration. Nor did he atop there for he went down the line of 1 r “ lde “‘ Cleveland's supporters. Gov. A-tgeld followed in the same course, as did exCongressman Andrew J. Hunter. This H / f / ■A 7 / GOVERNOR altgeld. was the means taken to arouse the enthusiasm of the delegates, and it was successful. Crawford for Temporary Chairman. Xt the close of the address Chairman Hinrichsen introduced as temporary chairman Monroe C. Crawford, of I mon County, who had been recommended by the State committee. Judge ( rawford made no remarks except to impress upon the delegates that their action was being watched by every person in the State. He told the delegates that if they w ant-si free I silver to say so. and then announced that I he was ready for business. I Judge Kramer moved that the various congressional districts be called that the chairman might name the delegations' I--, tions for tin* various c.'ii.m.- ■■ - It was carried. Thompson AV. McNealy, of Menard County, wanted all reflations of I a political nature referred to the commit- | toe on resolutions without reading. Thomas Merritt, of Marion County, protested. He declared that such a move would be gag law and that gag law should have no place in such a convention. Upon this show of op;»'sition Mr. McNealy withl drew his motion. Secretary Bentley then I read the list of committees as appointed by the congressional delegationa. By unanimous consent Judge Henry S. Miller. of Chicago, and Andrew J. Hunter, of Paris, were added to the committee on resolutions. The convention then adjourned for dinner. The afternoon session began work with little delay. The committee on credentials reported no contests and recomineud-

ed that the anting delegates be declared the delegates of the convention. The report was adopted. The committee on rules favored those used by last summer's convention. This report was also adopted. : W hen the committee on permanent organization reported ex-Judgo S I' XI.--1 Connell as the permanent chairman, Cook I County broke loose. The delegates shouted for the president of the Iroquois Club ! all the time that Judge Crawford was j putting the motion to concur in the report j of the committee. Ex-Congressman Nich-; olas E. Worthington, of Peoria County, ! Free P. Morris, of Iroquois, and Judge Bell, of Hamilton County, were appointed a committee to escort Judge McConnell to the chair. When he ascended the platform the umbrellas and silk hats of the Cook County men again went into the air. When the applause given the Chicago lawyer had died away Mr. Crawford introduced Mr. McConnell. Without delay he began his address to the convention. It was warmly, even enthusiastically, received. He was applauded frequently, and at times so long that the delegates lost the thread of the silver argiment which Mr. McConnell made. ■ The convention was full of political sensations. The greatest excitement came just before the adjournment of the conventiiih. The passionate speeches had all oeen made, and the Democrats, who filled every chair and the aisles of the convention hall, were ripe to indorse the action of the resolutions committee. Ex Congressman George W. Fithian was chairman of the committee on resolutions. Resolutions Adopted. Mr. Fithian in a dear voice read the int IfT J T™ 1 times during the reading of the declaration for free coinage he was interrupted while the convention went mtn transports of enthusiasm.
