The call for a convention April 13} was the wish of the people, declared the committeemen, but the lines which declared that the convention should be held “‘at the city of St. Louis” was one of Mr. Nick Bell's jokes, which should not be treated seriously. Nor was it treated seriously. No- body from St. Louis asked for the convention. St. Louis, with the prestige of a famous national victory and the indorsement of 535 dele- gates assembled last August at Per- tle Springs received a grand total of three votes on the first ballot and one on the second. The resolution addressed to the county committees may prove a bone of contention and for that reason should be understood.

Mr. Thurston of Nebraska, vigorously upheld a strong application of the 28 For- d the ; Monroe doctrine, and was at times warmly applauded for the patriotie ring of his sentimente. Senator Turpie of Indiana, touched on the Turkish atrocities in a brief but very energetic speech, in which he declar- ed that the resolution just passed by congress should be followed by a blow, a shot, which should crash through the Sultan's seraglio, sweep: ing back Mohammedanism and ad- vancing christianity. Mr. Voorhees of Indiana, who was until recently chairman of the finance committee, spoke in advocacy of the demonetization of silver and sharply arraigned those responsible for the elimination of silver from the coinage. Mr. Gray of Delaware, urged the advantage of a gold stand- ard. His speech was notable in it’s presentation of the fluctuation of prices, showing them to result from natural causes and not from silver demonetization. Mr. Clark of Wy- oming, spoke in favor of silver coin- age.
