At 12:15 Chairman Dr. Mott, of New York, and Secretary Kenney, of California, came on the platform, and arrangements for opening the convention were speedily made.

The oommittee ©a nM made tu report reeeumending that the roles of the present eoagrcse be used in the conduct of the convention The committee on credentials reported no contests, end suggested thnt any portion of a state delegation present in the convention could east the full vote of the delegation. The report was adopted. The permanent organisation committee, through its chairman. Col. Bradshaw, reported in favor of Wm P.St John, of New York, aa permanent chairman. As his name was men* tioned the convention chewed vociferously.

Permanent Chairman ST*. P. St. John. Hon. Charles J. Town*, of Minnesota, was named as vice-president of the convention, and strain the delegates manifested their pleasure. Robert E. Diffenderfer. of Pennsylvania, was named as secretary. In concluding bi9 report Col. Bradshaw briefly eulogized Mr. St. John. The report was adopted with a cheer. While n committee was escorting Mr. St. Mohn to the chair. Mr. Newlands announced that Mr. Tow tie would address the convention to-morrow. The delegates appeared delighted j to know that the business of the convention | was not to be rushed through, and a dual ad- j j comment reached to-night, as had been j rumored. Mr. Nen lands then introduced Mr. j St. John as permanent chairman, who ad j dressed the convention at great length. * The next business in order was the appoint- | ment of special committees. Mr. G. W. ! Maker, of California moved the appointment of a committee consisting of one from each j state to meet a similar committee from the populist convention, to take up the questions ] of difference between the two parties, for the ; purpose of coming to some rational agreement, to the end that the nomination of Bryan and Sewall might be ratified by the two conventions. A delegate from Illinois offered as a substitute for Maker's motion one to the effect that each state delegation select a member of this conference committee, and that the populist convention be noutled of the action, with a request that a similar committee be appointed by that body. A delegate from Illinois urged prompt action; ‘ Faint heart ne'er won fair lady.” either tu love, war or politics. He wanted the convention to go ahead regardless of conventionalities, and without regard to whether or not somebody else had stolen its platform of prmcmW* er had forstalled it in the movement which it had started The previous question wss ordered on the taction of the delegate from Illinois,which was |

the consideration of Ike delegates during recess: Jtfolvtd, That la the present situation this organisation, logically in the coming campaign, must be the peculiar representative of Independent free silver republicans, and that the efforts of the national committee should be chiefly directed to combining and augmenting this republican element a* an Independent foroe co-operating with the others for the election of the candidates which this convention shall name for president and rice-presi-dent and a free silver congress. The convention, at 12:45, took a recess until t:90p. m. Afternoon Session. When Chairmen St John celled the convention to order at 2:57 o'clock, there were more ladles present than at any previous session, but fewer delegates. The band played what the leader called "Our New American Hymn" in lieu of the march "Id to 1,” which had been composed since the convention met yesterday, but all the parts of which had not yet been written out C. O. Bradshaw, of Montana, presented a resolution of thanks to Dr. J. J. Mott chairman of the executive committee of the Bimetalllo league, in appreciation of his services in arranging tor the convention. The resolution was seconded by Wedderburn. of Virginia, and Bess, of Illinois, who compared him to Socrates and Lincoln for greatness. It was passed by a unanimous rising vote. Responding to calls for a speech. Dr. Mott said he hoped and believed the silver men would win the fight and expressed his thanks for the vote just given. At the request of the Minnesota delegation L. IT. Chafee, a commercial traveler and a delegate from that state, was invited to address the convention. While making his way to the platform. Mr. Burtsch. of Michigan, asked the subject of Chafee's remarks. Chafee re

trill iam Jenninff* Bryan, of Xebrasha. sponded that he would speak upon the subject' dear to the heart of every man before him. He said that three-fourths of the travelling men of Minnesota were silver men. because they knew a good thing when they saw it. t Laughter.) -peaking of commercial depression and business failures. Mr Chafee, said that a Cantos (Ck) concern—McKinley. Hobart & Hanna —would ueed the services of a receiver m about four months. ^ It being announced that W. H. (Coin) Harvey. was in the hall, cries were made for him to speak, but on motion of a delegate from California. C. B. Lane, a gold miner and delegate from that state, was invited to address the convention five minutes This was Mr. Lane's first public appearance and the first convention he ever attended. Producing gold by the ton. Mr. Lane said, he would spend every dollar he owned in this great and glorious cause i f 16 to l. The soldier who bore » bayonet of stee\ he said, was generous enough to spare the widow and orphan; but when the bayonet was of gold, it spared neither widow nor orphan. (Great cheers.) The reason he was a silver man. he said, was because he had risen to that level where he was above the impulse of selfishness. Mr. St. John, of New York (Vice-Chairman Towne being la the chair) moved that when the convention adjourn it be until ten o'clock to-morrow. An amendment was moved to adjourn until § p. n, but the original motion prevailed.

T11IKD DAT. Moraine Session. St. LoCLS. July 23. The chairman rapped for order at 10 40, and Introduced Rev. W. R. Covert', of the Missouri delegation. who opened the session with-the Lords prayer. Mr. linker, of California, chairman of the committee on conference, announced that the two committees had met this morning and .would meet again at 1 p. m The silverites were assured, he said, that the populists were now working harmoniously along the lines laid down by the convection. (Cheers). Her believed that a unanimous report from the conference committee of the two conventions would be one of the strongest campaign documents that could be circulated. In order that that might be successfully accomplished, he moved that the further proceedings of the Cjonvemion relating to the adoption of a platform and nomination should be deferred until 8:30 p. in. This was seconded by delegates from Kansas and 'Wisconsin and the motion was carried with'but one dissentiaf vote A distribution of mail and telegrams by the secretary followed and Senator Stewart's name evoked cheers and demands for a speech, but it passed without being pressed. The list of the new national committeemen was announced, and the members were requested to meet immediately upon adjournment this morning. A motion was tuade and rgreed to, authorizing the committee to till vacancies. Ihe matter of counting the veterans of the late war. under the resolution read Thursday by Mr. Strong, of Illinois, came up. and Mr. J. W Rhodes, of Washington, addressed tae convention. 'The veteran resolution was lost sight of temporarily in a second tumultuous demand for a speech from Senator Stewart, to which he responded. The convention again took up the veteran soldier re-olution. and It was decided to call the roll of states that the chairmen of delegations might announce the number of the veterans In each state delegation. The cAll resulted in showing 196 Union soldiers, l* confederates and four Mexi

Artkmr SncaU, of Maim*. can soldiers represented la the convention. Out of the roil-call grew a suggestion which crystallised into a motion, which was agreed to. that the old soldiers and sailors in the convention. Union, confederate and Mexican, form the basis of an organization in the party —for cam’ sign purposes—to save the country. Miss Helena Hartnett Mitchell, of Alton, Kan. waa introduced, and stating that being Inspired by the nomination of Bryan, although aha had never written a poem, she had written one on ’ The Wail of WttHam Whitney.’’ She recited It to the sonvention. It was scmlhamorous, and the vartona hits at Whitnev. Hill and Depew aroused intense enthusiasm; at the clone of the recitation manv of the delegates arose and expressed their feelings by shouting ***** waving hats, and

It was the most enthusiastic ovation of the convention. Geo. Warner, of Ohio, after calling attention to the fact that the first silver convention wae held In this hall seven years ago, moved an ad« Inurnment until 3:30 o’clock and It was declaredcarried at 12:32. Bryan and Sewall Nominated. At the afternoon session, after preliminary work In closing up details, the platform was adopted and, nominations being declared in order. the nominees of the national democratic party. William J. Bryan, of Nebraska, and Arthur Sewall, of Maine, were placed in nomination and unanimously chosen as the standard bearer of the silver party. Just before the sine die adjournment CoL j Pace, of Nebraska, offered a resolution declar- j lag it to be the sense of the convention that as | the democratic party had arranged to notify j Bryan and Sewall in New York, the silver j party notify them In Bryan’s home at Lincoln I The resolution was agreed to.

HENRY C. PAYNE. i i By Reason of III Health, Will Not Man* sf» the Republican Campaign in the West, Chicago, July 24.—A special from Milwaukee says: It seem9 probable that Henry C. Payne, the national committeeman from Wisconsin, who I was expected to do a large share of the work in the present campaign in the western states, will have to retire from actual service on account of ill* health. Mr. Payne has for a long time been almost a physical wreck on account of overwork. He has had during the last year several severe-flunting spells, and last Saturday morning had one in which he remained unconscious for an hc*ir. He said yesterday. “My health is not as good as I would ' like it to btj and I will have to take a rest for a few days. Continued ill- i health, however, will prevent my taking part in .the management of the j ; campaign in the west.” ( Mr. Payne says there is not a srin- ! tilla of truth in the report that Mr. j Hanna and he had a quarrel in Chicago.

SOLID FOR SILVER. Platform of th« National Rl-Metalie l*ar< tr Adopted at the National Stiver Con* vention at St. Louli July *4. 1896. The Platform. The National Silver party in convention a.v sembled makes this the declaration of its principles: First—The paramount issue at this time in the United States is indisputably the money, question. It is between the gold standard, gold bonds and bank currency on the one side, and the bimetallic standard, no bonds and government currency on the other. On this issue we declare ourselves to he in favor of a distinctively American system. We are unalterably opposed to the single gold standard and demand immediate return to the constitutional standard of gold and ailver, by restoration by this government. Independently of any foreign power, of the unrestricted coinage of both gold and silver into standard money, at the ratio of 16 to 1, and upon terms of exact equality, as they existed prior to 1873; the silver coin to be full legal tender equally with gold for all debts and dues, public and private, and we favor such legislation as will prevent for the future the demonetisation oi any kind of legal tender money by private contract. We hold that the power to control and regulate paper currency la inseparable from the power to coin money; and hence, that all currency intended to circulate as money should ! be issued and its volume controlled by the gen- t erti government only, aqd should be legal! tender. J , We are unalterably opposed to the issue by : the United States of interest-bear iug bonds in i time of peace, and we denounce as a blunder j worse than a crime the present treasury 1 policy, concurred in by a republican house, of j plunging the country in debt by hundreds of millions in the vain attempt to maintain the gold standard by borrowing gold, and we de- ; round the payment of all Coin obligations of the United States, as provided by existing laws, in either gold or silver coin, at the option of j ,the government, und not at the option of the ereditor. , t

The Crime or *73. The demonetization of gold in t$73 enor- ; mously increased the demand for paid. enhancing its purchasing power and lowering all prices measured by that standard. And since that unjust and indefeasible act the prices of j American products have fallen, upon an aver- , age. nearly 50 per cent., carrying down with proportionately the money value of all other forms of property. Such fall of prices has destroyed the profits of legitimate Industry, injuring the producer for the benefit of the non-producer, increasing the burden of the debtor, swelling ^tbe gains of the creditor, paralyzing the productive energies of the American people, relegating to idleness vast numbers of willing workers, sending the shadows of despair into the home of the honest toiler, filling the land with tramps and paupers and building up colossal fortunes at the money centers. In the effort to maintain the gold standard the country has within the last two years, in a time of peace and plenty, been loaded down with $.<S.iX».0 0 of additional tntereit-bearing debt under such circumstances as to allow a syndicate of native and foreign bankers to realize a net profit of millions on a single deaL It stands confessed that the gold standard can only be upheld by so depleting our paper currency as to force the prices of our products below the European, and even below the Asiatic level, to enable us to sell in foreign markets, thus aggravating the very evils of wh&*h our people so bitterly complain, degrading American labor and striking at the foundations of our civilization itself. The advocates of the gold standard persistently claim that the cause of our distress ia overproduction—that we have produced so much that It has made us poor—which Implies that the true remedy is to close the factory, abandon the farm an 1 throw the multitude of people out of employment, A doctrine that ■ leaves us unnerved and disheartened and abso- j lutely without hope for the future. We confirm it to be unquestioned that there can be no such economic paradox as overproduction and at ;he sitme time tens of thousands of our fellow citizens remaining half clad and half fed and who are piteously clamoring for the common necessities of life.

Money of the Constitution. Over and above ajl other questions of policy, we are in iavor of restoring to the people of United States the time-honored money of the Constitution, not one. but both, the money of Washington, and Hamilton, and Jefferson, and Monroe, and Jackson, and Lincoln, to the end that the American people may receive honest pay for an honest jproduct; that the American debtor may pay hU just obligations in any one standard, and not in a standard that has appreciated ^100 per cent, above all the great staples or our country: and to the end further that silver standard countries m*y be deprived of the unjust advantage they now enjoy In the difference fu exchange between gold and silver, an advantage which tariff legislation alone can not overcome. » We. therefore, confidently appeal to the people of the United States to leave in abeyance for f he‘moment all other question-, however important, and even momentous, they may appear, to sunder, if need be. all, former party ties atfd affiliations, and unite in one supreme effort to free themselves and their children from the domination of the money power, a power more destructive than any which has ever been fastened upon the civilized men of any race or any age. And upon, the consummation of our desires and efforts, we invoke the gracious favor of Divine providence. Inasmuch as the patriotic majority of the Chicago convention embodied In the financial plank of its platform the principle enunciated in the platform of the American bimetallic party, promulgate*! at Washington. D. C. January kM. l&rtJ. and herein reinstated, which is not only paramount: but the only real issue in the pending campaign, therefore recognizing; that their nominees embody these patriotic principles, we recommend that this convention nominate Wm. J. Btyan. of Nebraska, for president and Arthur Sewall. of Maine, for vice-president. Finally the following resolution was adopted: RrnAvtd, That it is the sense of this conference committee that a union of all the forces, Including the people's party, silver men and free-silver democrats, is expedient, and should be effected at once for the purpose of achieving victory for the advancement of free silver ta November.

A G«neroas Giver to the Caune. St. Louis, July 26.—The expenses ol the national convention of the silver party were fonndAo exceed the receipts by 82,500. Suggestions as to how to meet the deficiencies were being advanced when Mr. Lane, of California, settled the matter by presenting his check for the amount. A Stiver Party Denial. St. Louis, July 26.—The national tilver party, before it adjourned, issued an address repudiating assertions that their convention was a gathering of repudiators, revolutionists and anarchisms, and asserting that “in our delegations are 4 veterans of the Mexican war, 49 ex-eoufederates and 196 Union arioi* veterans.” The famous collection of violins owned by the late R. D. Hawley, of Hartford, has been sold to a California man for $20,000. The collection consists of 12 instruments, which are among the finest in the world. Pope Leo Xltt uses snuff, and it is made expressly for him by a firm in Baltimore. It is sent to Home in one-pound j and five-pound jars. The" popular vote of the United States, at the election in November, it is estimated, will be close to 13,000,000.
