Hovart, of New Jersey. vice-president, St. Lous, Mo., June 18.—The bolt has come! Tellier, Dubois, Can- non and the silver leaders have walked out of the convention! They have severed their connection with the Grand Old Party. The parting of the ways came when Gold was put in the platform. Pledged to free coinage, they could not submit to the will of the majority. To them the gold standard fettered Republi cans to the money changers of Wall street. The great West and South, they declare, will no longer wear the collar of the bosses of the East. Earnestly they had pleaded for free silver before the Committee on Res- olutions. Their appeal was made again on the floor of the convention. In eloquent words the Colorado Senator pictured his position and that of the other delegates of the silver States. They loved the his- tory and admired the traditions of the Republican party. The adop tion of the gold plank meanta de- parture from the principles of the party, and he and his associates proposed to stand upon the record and their pledges to theiz constitu- ents. SILVER MEN DROP OUT. Mr. Cannon Reads the Formal Declara- tion of Withdrawal From the !Party. St. Louis, June 18.—As soon as the adoption of the platform had been announced, Sentator Teller el- vowed his way to the platform amid an intense silence and aeked that Senator Cannon of Utah, who had also made his way to the platform, be allowed to read a personal state- ment prepared by the silver men. Chairman Thurston put the ques- tion and there was not a sign of dis- sent. As Mr. Cannon began to read, the hall was so still that his voice rever- berated to its utmost limits. ° . ° . - ° . Senator Cannon then folded his document deliberately, turned and, reaching across the desk, grasped Chairman Thurston by the hand. Mr. Teller did the same. The two shook hands with Foraker and turned toward the steps leading down to the right band center aisle. Meantime men, women and child- ren from the pit to the last tiers of the galleries had climbed upon their chairs. As Teller and Cannon stepped in- to the aisle a dozen silver colleagues | rose and followed them. On each side of this aisle the delegates were facing it, all standing on their chairs. As a file cf stern faced men march- ed along the pathway to the door a yell went up before which every other outbreak of the day paled into | silence. It was a shout in which ad- uiration, defiance, derision and rage were joined. The band in the high- est gallery broke in the tumult, but its brazen clangor made no impres- sion on the vocal storm and was drowned in it. Finally when the shout had somewhat subsided, the noise of the band asserted itself by degress in the shape of the melody, | “Columbia, the Gem of the Ocean.” Twice and three times was the strain Dakota repeated, and then a yoice took up the words: “Three Cheers for the Red, White and Blue,” and then by degrees the whole assembly took up the chorus with q magnificent burst and sang “The Army and Navy For- jever,” “Taree Cheers for the Red, | White and Blue.” Two stanzas | were sung by this chorus of 12,000 jand the band, tiring of its work, dropped out of the song. The following delegates were |those who walked out: The entire | | delegations of Colorado and Idaho; |three from Utab, Pettigrew from) South Dakota Hartman from Mon-, | tana, Cleveland and Strother from |Nevada. The Utah men were Can-! | non, Kearns and Allen. None of th | delegates from the territories went! lout. The delegates around the Col | orado seat broke off the Colorado | standard and sent it out after them i WHAT THE BOLT MEANS. , The revoit of silver involves start |ling political changes in the United | | States Senate, which very few of the} | delegates, who are herded like sheep in this convention, realize. What- ever the degree of success which | may attend the built, and however great may be Republican victory in the fall, silver’s departure from the! | Republican party means the instant | removal from the Republican vote in the United States silver senators. When the Dingley bill was pend- ing in the Senate a group of five sil ver Republican senators defeated action, with the declaration of “No silver, no protection.” Others who were with them in sympathy, but not in action, declined then to par- | ticipate because they preferred to await the action of this convention | on finance. This last straw to which they clung having disappeared, they have irrevocably cast their fortunes with their associates. The bolt, therefore, carries with it from the Republican side in the een- ate twelve members who believe in silver first and Republicanism after- ward. So, notwithstanding the great- est possible success which may at- tend the Republican campaign, it will yet remain absolutely impossible fora Republican administration to achieve any protective tariff legisla tion, “No silver, no protection” de- stroying in advance all the effect of the tariff plank in the platform adopted to day. The Platform. The republicans of the United States, assembled by their represent- atives in national convention. appeal ing forthe popular and _ historical justification of their claims to the matchless achievements of thirty years of republican rule, earnestly and confidentially address them- selves to the awakened intelligence, experience and confidence cf their countrymen in the following decla- ration of facts and principles: For the first time since the civil war the American people have wit nessed the calamitous consequences of full and unrestricted democratic control of the government. It has been a record of unparalleled inca- pacity, dishonor and disaster. In administrative management it has ruthlessly sacrificed indispensable revenue, entailed an unceasing defi- city, eked out ordinary current ex- pexses with borrowed money, piled up the public debt by $262,000,000 in the time of peace, forced all ad. verse balance of trade, kept a perpet ual menace hanging over the redemp- tion fund, pawned American credit to alien syndicates, and reversed all the measures and results of success- ful republican rule. In the broad effect of its policy it has precipitated | panic, blighted industry and trade} |with prolonged depression, closed |factories, reduced work and wages | halted enterprise and crippled Amer- | jican production for the American) market. Every consideration of | | public safety and individual interest | |demands that the government shall | /be rescued from the bands of those |Te¢iprocity arrangements negotiated indignation of the American people, | who have shown themselves incapa- | ble to conduct it without dicaster at | ‘home and dishonor abroad, and | shall be restored to the party which | for thirty years administered it with | unequal snecess and prosperity, and in this connection we heartily in- dorse the wisdom, patriotism and the success of the administration of President Harrison. PROTECTIVE TARIFF DEMANDED. i We rerew and emphasize our al- legiance to the policy of protection; rule has récklessly struck down both, and both must be re establish- t}ed. Protection for what we pro- duce, free admission for the neces- saries of life which we do not pro- duce, reciprocal arrangement of mutual interests which gain open markets for us in return for ouropen H | markets toothers. Protection builds Groceries and Farm Produce up domestic industry and trade, and secures our own market for our- selves; reciprocity builds up foreign | trade and finds an outlet for our surplus. We condemn the present adminis- jtration for not keeping faith with the sugar producers of the country. The republican party favors such protection as will lead to the pro- Deacon Bros, & C Meavy and Shelf Hardware, Catlery and Guns Timware and Stoves, Field and Garden Seeds, Buggies, Wagous, and Farm Machinery, wagon, wood-work, Iron, Steel,Nails, Salt, Barb Wire, Buggy Paints, Machine °Oil. duction on American soil of all the sugar which the American people use, and for which they pay other countries more than $100,000,000 _ | annually. apparatus IN| To all our products—to those of the mine and the field, as well | those of the shop and the factory— to hemp, to wool. the product of the MAJESTIC STEEL RANGE.

It caused the enactment of the law providing for the resumption of specie pay- ments in 1879; since then every dol- lar has been as good as gold. We are unalterably opposed to every measure calculated to debase our currency or impair the credit of our country. We are therefore, opposed to the free coinage of silver except by international agreement with the leading commercial nations of the world, which we pledge ourselves to —| promote, and until such agreement can be obtained, the existing stand- ard must be preserved. All our sil- ver and paper currency must be taintained at parity with gold, and we favor all measures designed to maintain inviolably the obligations of the United States and all our money, whether coin or paper, at the present standard of the most en- lightened nations of the earth. The veterans of the Union armies deserve aud should have fair treat- ment and ,enerous_ recognition. Whenever practicable they should be given the preference in the mat- ter of empfoyment, and they are en- titled to the enactment of such laws as are best calculated to secure the fulfillment of the piedges made to them in the dark days of our coun- try’s peril. We denounce the prac- tice in the pension bureau, so reck- leasly and unjustly carried on by the present administation, of reducing pensions and arbitrarily dropping names from the rolls as deserving the severest condemnation of the American people. Our foreign policy sheuld be at all times tirm, vigorous and dignified and all our interests in the western hemisphere carefully watched and guarded.

This true American policy taxes foreign products and encourages home industry, snd puts the burden for revenue on foreign goods; it secures the American mar- ket for the American producer; it upholds the American standard of wages for the American workingman; it pnts the factory by the side of the farm and makes the American far- mer less dependent on foreign de mand and price; it diffuses general thrift and founds the strength of all on the strength of each. In its rea- sonable application it is just, fair and impartial, equally opposed to foreign control and domestic monop- oly, to sectional discrimination and individual favoritism. We denounce the present demo- cratic tariff as sectional, injurious to the public credit and destructive to business enterprise. We demand such an eqitable tariff on foreign imports which come into competion with American products as will not only furnish adequate revenue for the necessary expenses of the gov- ernment, but will protect American labor from degradation to the wage level of other lands.
