DETAILS OF THE SESSION —__+—___. The delegates to the populist convention at St. Louis yesterday were promptly on kend for the afternoon session. Just be- fore the hour of 3 o’clock a delegate climb- ed laboriously up the steps of the platform. He was pla‘nly very weary from the ef- forts of several days’ hard campaigning. He straightened himself vp with some diffi- culty and brought his umbrella handle down with a crash on the chairman’s table: “if this is a populist convention,” he shouted in a husky, unsteady voice, ‘fer God's sake don’t get into the democratic band wagon." Tre crowds laughed and the middle-of- the-road man went carefully down the steps and disappeared in the direction of the Texas delegstion. Among the distin- guished guests on the platform was Mrs. A. H. Cardin, the wife of the national com- mitteeman from Kentucky. She ts a very pretty woman ard attracted much atten tion, She came to oppose a woman suffray. plank in the platform, but did not go be- fore the committee on resolutions, as the suffragists themselves decided not to make the fight. Perfect order was maintained while the delegates were gathering in thelr places and there was no demonstration as the leaders entered. At+exactly 3:30 Temporary Chairman Butler rapped the convention to order and announced that the committee on creden- uals would submit a repcrt. His announce- ment was taken up and repeeted by su)- chairmen stationed fn various parts of the hall, delegates in remote portions of the auditorium having complained that they cculd not hear what was going on. The Trouble Began. Delegate Wardell of California, chairman of the committee, read the report. The por- tion relative to delegations where there were "0 contests was agreed io, and then the trouble began. The delcgates from sev- eral middle-of-the-road states cried out in protest, and when Mr. Pattersen of Colorado moved that the convention take up the con- tests In aiphabetical order of states Harry Tracey of Texas took the stage and ob- Jected. He wanted them taken up in the erder reported by the committee. Mr. Patterson denied that the committee kad si jited them in any order. The cemmittee, he said, had simply enumerated the cases. Mr. Brooks of Misscurl drew a howl of arproval from the straightouts by rising to a point of or@er that, if Mr. Patter- son's seat was contested, he had no right to the privileges of a member of this con- vention until his title to his seat was con- firmed. The Bryan shouters, however, got their chance to shout when Chairman Butler overruled the point of order, saying that Mr. Patterson's name was on the tempor- ary roll and he was entitled to all the privileges of membership until he should be unseated. Patterson's resolution was put and car- Tied. The Colorado contest was then taken up and a motion made to adopt the report of the committee recommending the seat- ing of what is known as the Paterson delegation. At the suggesticn of Mr. Pat- terson, however, the matter was laid aside for an_hour. The Illinois case was taken up then. The majority reported that the two dele- gations from Cook county be seated and the vote divided. The minority, signed by fourteen mem- bers of the committee, recommended that ylor’s delegation be seated. rginia delegate moved the adoption majority report, and Delegate Moran of Nebraska moved to substitute the minor- ity for the majority report. After some wrangling it was agreed that there should be fifteen minutes for debate on each side. Chairman Palmer of the Illino!s delegation upheld the report in favor of the Taylor delegates. Mujority Report Adopted. After speeches on either side a vote was taken by states. After the ballot was closed a number of changes were made and the vote was officially announced as 665 for the majority report and 642 for the minority. While the vote in several instances seem- ed to be Bryan and anti-Bryan it was not a test vote in any respect. Alabama, which is for Bryan, for instance, cast half her vote for the majority and half for the mirority. Georgia, which is opposed to Bryan, cast her 61 votes for the majority report, while Kansas, which is solid for Bryan, gave 91 votes for the minority and two for the majority report. Delegate Wilkins of California challenged Colorado's right to vote, but the chair ruled that the delegation could vote. Her 47 votes went for the minority report. The anti-Bryan delegates voted solidly for the majority report, but some of the Bryan delegates also voted that way. When Texas cast her.10$ votes for the majority report, which gave half the contested seats to te Debs delegates, the middle-of-the- roaders howled themselves hoarse. A Bryan Man Unseated. The Missourl contest was withdrawn. Five minutes was given each side of the | Wisconsin case, involving one seat. Mr. Cole, who had been seated by the national committee, stated he was a Bryan man and for that reason he was not to be al- lowed a seat. He appealed to the fairness of the southern delegates to seat h!m. The announcement of the preference for President was greeted with cheers by the Bryan men. The majority report unseat- ing Cole and seating Isaacs was adopted. Lafe Pence’s Criticism. Lafe Pence, the former Congressman from Colorado, who was at the head of the New York delegation, called for the report of the committee on permanent organiza- ticn. In dcing so he made some rather sharp comments about the time the con- vention had frittered away. Several delegates attempted to move an adjournment until 8 o'clock, but Mr. Pence refused to yield the floor for such a motion. But when E. A. Cocke of Virginia, chagg- man of the committee on permanent or- ganization, came forward to make his re- port a dozen delegates jumped to their feet and protested that a report from another committee was not in order until the re- port of the committee on credentials as a whoie had been agreed to. Mr. Washburne of Massachusetts, who was temporarily in the chair, ruled the points not well taken. He also declined to entertain an appeal. ‘rhe report of the committee on permanent organization was then read. The announce- ment of the selection of Senator Allen of Nebraska for permanent chairman was the signal for a wild Bryan demonstration, which lasted several minutes. John W. Hayes of New Jersey was selected for sec- retary and other temporary officers were made permanent. Middle-of-the-Roaders Cheer. ‘The minority report naming James E. Campion of Maine for permanent chair- man set the middle-of-the-road men on fire. The Texas and Georgia delegates climbed on their chairs and yelled like Indians. Several large middle-of-the-road banners were paraded through the aisles. The western delegates as a rule took no part in the demonstration. When order was at last restored the names of the signers of the minority re- port were read. When the name of the Illinois member of the committee was read that delegate jumped up and announced that his signature was forged. His name was withdrawn. Delegate Blazer of Texas then moved that Campion’s name be substituted for that of Allen's for chairman. KE. Gerry Brown of Massachusetts moved to lay both majority ard minority reports on the table, pending the report of the committee on rules. He said he made this motion in the interest of a compromise candidate. But there were cries of “No,” “No,” from all parts of the hall. It was evident that the temper of the convention was for action. THE EVENING STAR, FRIDAY, JULY 24, 1896-TWELVE PAGES. 11 Mr. Pence, @ Bryan man, moved the pre- vious question. It was ordefed amid much confusion, and the roll of states was called on the question of adopting the majority or minority report. Taking the Vote. The parliamentary situation puzzled the delegates. They wére finally made to un- derstand that an aye vote was for Allen and @ no vote for Campion. Meantime night was falling. The electric lights were not turned on to dispel the gloom, and there was some apprehension of a repetition of the experl- ence of the previous night, when the con- vention sat for an hour in total darkness. Several candles were brought in and placed on the press tables. The excitement on the floor was intense. ‘There was a realization on both sides that the actual test had come. When Alabama, the first state, was called @ tow was in progress, and Alabama was passed. Arkansas’ vote was challenged. In the former state the division showed six more votes for Allen than were cast in the Ilinots contest on the side of Bryan and in Arkansas four more. In the gathering gloom there were loud cries of “turn on the lights.” Some one answered from the platform that the elec- tric lamp had not been “trimmed.” “Phat won't do,” cried the irate delegates, and serious trouble was imminent, when suddenly the electric lamps sizzed and the hall was flooded with a blaze of light. The following list will show the geograph- ical locality of the Bryan strength, the states being clasified according to the ma- Jority of their votes: For Allen—Colorado, Connecticut, Dela- ware, Florida, Idaho, Ilinois, Indlana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Maryland, Mas- sachusetts, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Yor North Dakota, Oregon, Pennsylvant. South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah, West Vir- ginia, Virginia, Wisconsin? New Mexico, District of Columbia and Arizona. For Campion—Alabama, California, Geor- gia, Louisiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Mi: sissipp!, Missouri, Onio, Rhode Isiand, Texas, Vermont, Washington and Indian territory. The votes of North Carolina, Wyoming and Oklahoma were equally divided. Allen Elected. The scenes during the remainder of the ballot were most exciting, and when it was announced that Allen had been elected chairman by 758 votes as against 564 cast for Campion. the cheering and yelling and confusion were simply indescribable. In- deed, the scene, with the exception of the fact that the galleries did not participate In the demonstration, very much resembled that at the Coliseum in Chicago when Mr. Bryan was nominated. It lasted about eighteen minutes. After order was restored Delegate Wil- liams of California climbed on to the stage. “We have made a square fight,” he shout- ed, “we have been fairly beaten, and in the interest of peace and harmony I move the selection of William V. Allen as permanent chairman be made unanimous.” His mo- tion was carried with a hurrah, but there were loud cries of dissent in the direction of the lone star delegation. On Mr. Pence’s motion, a committee, con- sisting of himself, “Cyclone” Davis and atius Donnelly, was appointed to escort Senator Allen to the platform. Chairman Allen's Speech. Allen's appearance on The stage, to which he had been escorted, led to a renewal ot the cheering. He then made a speech, in which he violently denounced Wall street and the gold men, attacked the principles of the republican party and protested against any bolt in the populist convention. Senator Allen spoke at some length, being tened to with a great deal of intere He ha a reputation as a speaker. Dur; the debate on the repeal of the Shermar law he talked fifteen hours against time. He is a large man, smooth-shaved face ar of commanding presence. He alw gins speaking in a iow, well-mcdulated tone, which, for a moment, subjected him to the usual cries of “louder.” Senator Allen spoke extemporaneously, not having bad time to prepare himself. He was fre- quently interrupted with applaus In the course of his speech Senator Allen advocated the nomination of Bryan. He said that he was not in favor of any action which would elect a gold standard man His reference to those who were trying to have the populist party assist a gold stand- ard man as having “had Mark Hanna’s boodle in their pockets” was greeted with hisses and cheers. It was 9:43 when Sena- tor Allen concluded. Conferees Agreed To. Several attempts to secure an adjourn- ment were made, but Senator Butler, act- ing as a delegate, moved the appointment of a committee to confer with the commit- tee of the silver convention. There were many and loud cries of “No,” and Mr. Branch of Georgia moved to table the mo- tion. The noes seemed to be in a large ma- jority, and the motion to table was di clared lost. Senator Butler's motion was carried with a loud chorus of ayes and great cheering. The Bryan men were ap- parently in full control of the convention. The committee on rules then made its report. Little interest was manifested in it, and before the convention had acted upon it Lafe Pence moved an adjournment until 10 o'clock this morning. This was carried, and then, at 10:9, the convention adjourned. The crowd filed out hurriedly, as everybody was hungry and tired. The band played a quickstep, as if to hurry the delegates and spectators through the exits. In a few minutes the hall was deserted. THE POPULIST PLATFORM. Work on the Planks of the Subcom- mittees Lant Night. The subcommittees of the populist com- mittee on resolutions were at work at mid- night at St. Louis on the platform to be reported to the full committee today. it rad at that time agreed upon a preamble and financial and land planks and upon scme minor matters. So far as the plat- form was completed it was as follows: Preamble. The people's party assembled in national convention reaffirms its alle- glance to the principles declared by the founders of the republic and also to the fundamental principles of just government as enunciated in the platform of the party in 1892, but recognizes that by the action of the present and preceding administra- tions ie country has reached a crisis in its national life, as predicted in our plat- form four years ago, and at present prompt and patriotic action is the supreme duty of the hour. We realize tnat, while we have political independence, our financial and in- dustrial independence is yet to be attain- ed by restoring to the people's government the constitutional contro! and exercise of the functions necessary to that end, which functions have been basely surrendered by our public servants to corporate monopo- lies. The Influence of European money changers has heen more potent in shaping legislation than the voice of the American people. Executive power and patronage have been used to corrupt our legislatures and defeat the will of the people, and plu- tceracy has thereby been enthroned upon the ruins of democracy. To restore the government of the fathers and for the wel- fare and prosperity of this and future gen- erations we demand the establishment of a financial system which shall make us masters of our own affairs and independent of European control by the adoption of the following declaration of principle: Finance. First. We demand a national currency, safe and sound, issued by the general gov- ernment only, a full legal tender for all debts, public and private, and without the use of banking corporations; an honest, equitable and efficient means of distribution direct to the people and through the lawful @isbursements of the government. Second. We demand the free and unre- stricted coinage of silver and gold at the present legal ratio of sixteen to one by the United States without waiting for the con- sent of foreign nations. Third. We demand that tke volume of circulating medium be speedily increased to an amount sufficient to meet the de- mands of the business of the country and to restore the just Icvel of prices of labor and production and thereby establish pros- perity and happiness for the people. Fourth. We denounce the sale of bonds and the increase of the public interest- bearing debt made by the public adminis- tration as unnecessary and without author- ity of law, and we demard a law absolutely prohibiting the sale of bonds and increase of the public debt, except in accordance with an act or acts of Congress authoriz- ing the same. Fifth. We demand such legislation as will prevent the demonetization of the lawful money of the United States by private con- tract. Sixth. We demand that the government in payment of its obligations shall use its option as tc the kind of lawful money in which they are to be paid, and we denounce the present and prodigal administration for surrendering this option to holders of gov- ernment obligations. Income Téx. Seventh. We demand a graduated income tax to the end that agi ted wealth shall bear its just proportion gf taxation, and we denounce the recent degision of the Su- preme Court in regard tQ, the income tax law as a misinterpretation.of the Constitu- tion and an invasion of the'rightful pow of Congress over the subjé¢t of taxation. Eighth. We demand that postal savings be established by the government for the safe deposit of the savings of the people and to facilitate exchange. y Land. A true policy demands that the national and state legislation shall-he such as will ultimately enable every prtéent and Indus- trious man to own a home, and, therefore, the land should not be monopolized fcr speculative purposes. All agricultural and grazing lands now held by railroad corpora- tions in excess of their actual need should, by lawful means, be reclaimed by the gov- ernment and held for actual setulers only, and private land monopoly should be pre. yented by appropriate state and national legislation. We condemn the fraudulent land grants of the Pacific Railroad Companics, through thes connivance of the Interlor Department, which have robbed multitudes of actual and bona fide settlers of their homes and miners of their claims,and we demand legislation by Congress which will enforce the exception of mineral iand from such grants after, #8 well as before, patent. Direct Legisiation, We hold that all governments derive their just powers from the consent of the gov- erned, and, in order that the consent of the governed may be clearly ascertained, we favor direct legislation under proper con- stitutional safeguards, so that a 5 per cent- age of the citizens shall have the right of initlating, framing and preparing laws, and of compelling the submission thereof, and of all important laws, whether proposud by national, state or local legislatures, to a direct vote of the people for their approval or rejection. Transportation, Transportation being a means of ex- change and a public necessity, the govern- ment should own and operate the railroads in the interest of the people, to the end that all men may be accorded the same treatment in transportation, and that the tyranny and political power now exercised by the great corporations, which result in the Impairment if not the destruction of the political rights and personal liberty of the eltizen, may be destroyed. Such owner- skip Is to be accomphshed gradually, in a manner consistent with sound public policy. ‘The interest of the United States in the public highways built with public moneys and the proceeds of extensive -grants of 1, known as the Pacific railroads, should never be alienated, mortgaged or sold, but guarded and protected for the general’ wel- Tare, as provided by the laws organizing sald Pacitte railroads. The foreclosure cf the subsisting liens of the United States on U.ese roads should at once follow default in the payment thereof by the debtor com- panies, and that on the foreclosure of said roads, the govermment shall purchase the me, if it becomes necessary to protect interests therein, or if the same can purchased at a_reasonab! 1 be price, and the goverrment shall operate said railroads as public highways for the benefit of the whole people, and not in the in under suitable prov 3 life and property, giving to all transporta- tion interests equal privileges and equal rates for fares and freughts. We denounce the present infamous schemes for refunding these debts and de- mand that the la pw applicable thereto be executed and administered according to their true intent and spirit. ‘The telegraph, like the post offi 5 being a necessity for the transmission of news, should be owned and operated by tne government in the interest of the people. rest of the few, for protection of SILVER MEN WAITING. No Action Taken at Yesterday After- noon’s Session Vice Chairman Towne presided at the afternoon session of the silver convention at St. Louis. Chairman W. P. St. John moved that when the convention adjourned it be until 10 o'clock today. He did this because the conference commitiee was not ready to report. This motion was amend- ed so as to make the adjournment until 7:30 last evening. Mr. Turner of Kansas wanted the ccnvention to get down to business, If its sessions were protracted many of the delegates would be compelled to go home. An ILllinols delegate said that every dele- aie there was for Bryan and Sewall, and if the convention went ahead and nomi- nated a ticket It would weaken its influ- ence with the people's party, It would stultify the convention to go ahead with business until the conference commitize had reported as to what the pecple’s party Was willing to do. Mr. Baker of California was opposed to an evening session. The Kansas delegation continued to ob- Ject to adjourning until today. Mr. Baker went on to say that the convention would be ready to adjcurn as soon as its platform was adopted, because in it Bryan and Sew- all were recommended as the nominees of the silver party. This remark brought ap- plause. General Warner of Ohio agreed with Gaker and advised an, adjournment until today. Chairman Little of the Kansas delegation tnought it would be a mistake to adjourn until today. W. P. St. John insisted that it would be an insult to the people's party to adopt the platform before the confer- ence committees of the two conventions had met. Such action would be to jam a ticket or an attempt to jam a ticket down the throat of the people's party. A half dozen more speeches were made and twice that number of men shouted for reccgnition, In the midst of the furore the previous question was ordered. The vote was on the amendment to Mr. St. John’s motion that when the convention adjourn it ad- jcurn until 10 a.m. today. The amendment was to change the time to § o'clock last night. The amendment was lost by a vote of 146 yeas to 151 nays by a rising vote. The original motion was adopted. A good deal of confusion followed, and some of the delegates went to their hotels, A general wrangle followed over the de- mand made by some of the delegates that a pell of the convention be made to find out the previous political beliefs of the deie- gates. The convention voted to take such @ poll in the forenoon. ‘The discussion grew out of an effort to have the secretaries of the delegations poll their several delegations and report to the secretary of the convention. It was at length decided to proceed with the roll cf states. The result of the poll showed that there were 526 republicans, 135 democrats, 47 populists, 9 prohibitionists, 1 nationa’ greenbacker,12 independent. Twenty states failed to report. A resolution was adopted requesting all the veterans of the late war to stand up and be counted. Objections were made that at least half the delegates had gone to their homes. It was deciged to postpone counting the votes until teday. It was an- nounced that the reason of the poll was to refute the arguments of the gold standard men that all the old soldiers were for Mc- Kinley. ‘The convention adjourneé until 10 o'clock today. ee DISGUSTED DELEGATES. Middle-of- e-Ronders Talking of a Bolt. The middle-of-the-road men were utterly disorganized and disgusted last night at St. Louis. They held gne of the most stormy of their stormy meetings by those enthusiastic members of the pepulist party. An attempt was made to pass a bolting resolution, and while it was being discussed by the hot-heads, the more conservative men scurried out and got leaders who could be moderate in their action, and the volting resolution was withdrawn, The temper of the leaders seemed to be that all should re- main ia the convention until tie close, and if its action was not satisfactory, they should hold a convertion, nominats a can- didate and adopt a platform of their own. The shrewdest leaders said that not only would the convention nominate Bryan, but they believed Sewali also would be named with him. Late last night they were try- ing to organize, but their efforts seemed to be futile, ——_+e+______ Her Title Clear.

REPUBLICAN FIGHT ON A DEAD ISSUE —_— Thinks Events Indicate Another Democratic Ticket. AN OPPORTUNITY ee LOST Ex-Secretary W. C. Whitney was asked yesterday in New York if, in his judgment, there would be a third ticket nominated by sound money democrats. He replied: “I think events and the course of the republican leaders are making it inevitable. ‘The general situation is far worse today, in my opinion, than it was ten days ago. The republican managers and candidates have shown no realizing sense of the situation. They have failed to avail themselves of a great opportunity for benefiting the coun- try. If the present condition of affairs con- tinues for any length of time sound money demo:rets are bound to organize, and it cannot be prevented. “The truth is, there does not seem to be in the east a realizing sense of the serious- ness and sincerity of the free silver move- ment.

Deriding All Democrats, “What has been the course of the re- publican leaders and the republican press? They have insisted upon putting the free silver enthusiasts and the sound money democrats in one class and denouncing all together under the name of national de- mocracy. Mr. McKinley continues to dis- cuss the tariff, which has ceased to be an actual issue ia this campaign as complet2- ly as slavery, and the republican press and leaders persist in deriding all democrats en masse. They jeer at democracy, and yet admit that the doubtful states are those where republicanism has been domi- nant for thirty years. Such a policy, per- sisted In, can have but one effect. It will arcuse the innate party loyalty of patriotic democrats; it will make them angry, and will result in drawing sharp party lines. It is difficult enough for a democrat to contemplate the possibility of voting for McKinley, or to look upon him as the lead- er of any great cause, and the present course of the republicans is tending to make it impossible. If they continue in this line one thing will certainly happen— the sound money jemocrats will nominate a third ticket, and thus divide the sound money vote in the great battle ground of the middle west to save the vote from drifting back to the Chicago ticket. The republicans will need in November all the aid they can obtain from sound money democrats. “If they think they can hold their nat- ural strength through the middle west, or even in some parts of the st, by the single tendency to party allegiance, they are mistaken. A free silver enthusiasm has obtained a hold upon republicans throughout the west and farming commu- nitles of the east quite as strong as upon the democrats, and they cannot be diverted from their purpose by either appeals to party Joyalty or discussion of a dead is- sue. It dwaried ail oth- to fight the of A Time for Union, “It ought to be plain to all thoughtful and patriotic republicans that the time has come when it ts absolutely necessary for ali good citizens to drop for the time being partisanship and work together earn- estly and intelligently for the common good. To trifle with a crisis so serious as this, or to attempt to ignore or belittle it, vould be both a blunder and a crime. “I think that at the present moment the multitudes of sound money democrats rep- resented by the two hundred and fifty-four delegates who refused to vote in the Chi- cago convention are fully awake to the danger which confronts the nation and are willing to co-operate, heartily and hon- estly, with equally patriotic members of other parties in any national movement to stamp out this heresy. How long they will continue in this frame of mind no man can tell. But one fact is certain—the present responsibility for meeting this situation rests upon the republican candidates and leaders, and if they are to act intellizently and patrictically there is no time to lose.

CONTROLLER ECKELS’ VIEW. s. by of Kentucky re He Looks for Another Democratic Ticket. Controller Eckels passed through Pitts- burg last night enroute to Chicago to at- tend the democratic gold convention. He sald a great many of the most profound think»rs and financters of the country had made a request for such a convention. The outcome of the gathering, he said, would certainly be the issuing of a call for a na- tional convention to nominate a ticket on a gol] platform and on a plan suited to real cemocrats. The.new ticket, he is assured, would receive the support of many demo- crats who would remain at home on elec- tion day rather than vote for Bryan on a silver populist platform. He thinks the silver idea is being kept at fever heat by which will expend its force long the four months have expired. He befor thinks Bryan will suffer defeat; but if he should be elected he could not further his silver plans, because of a republican Con- gress.

At the railway station at Alliance, Ohio, yesterday afternoon, as Mr. McKinley was about to take the train for Cleveland, after speaking at the college exercises, an as- semblage of workingmen called for a speech. In resporse, he referred to the ubject of his visit to Alliance, and said: “All of us are interested in the welfare of our country, but in the welfare of country is involved the Individual welfare of every citizen. Ii our great country is prosperous, then the people are prosperous. What we all want—no matter to what political or- ganization we may have belonged in the P: a return to the good times, We want good prices and good wages, and when we have them we want them to be paid in good money. (Applause and cries of ‘You're right.) Whether our prices be higher, whether they are below, whether our wages be good or whether they be bad, they are all the better by being paid in dol- lars worth one hundred cents. (Tremen- dous applause and cheering.) If we have good wages they are better by being paid in good dollars. If we have poor wages, they are made poorer by being paid in poor dollars. And, my fellow-citizens, what we want more than anything else is to keep our money equal to that of the most en- lightened nations of the earth, and main- tain the credit and honor of the govern- ment of the United States. (Great ap- plause.) We are the greatest country in the world—greatest in our freedom, great- est in our possibilities, greatest In our op- portunities—and we are too great to taint our country’s honor or to cast suspicion upon the credit or obligations of our gov- ernment.” (Applause.) Gov. McKinley then returned to Cleve- land. = THE SILVER PARTY PLATFORM. Fight Over It in the Committee on Resolut ‘The committee on resolutions of the silver convention at St. Louis did not reach its conciusion on the platform adopted without considerable feeling over an effort that was made to have the committee take a more positive position than it did take in indorse- ment of Bryan. The committee was a unit in support of Bryan, but the difference arose over the acceptance of the demo- cratic platform or the adoption of a dis- tinctive declaration by the silver party. Gen. A. J. Warner made a strong conten- tion favorable to placing the party on the dcctrine announced by the Chicago conven- tion. He was opposed by Judge Scott, Mr. Dulin and others, who contended that while it was proper to support Bryan, the support should be given on an independent plat- form, as being the plan best calculated to — promote the success of the common cause. The latter contention prevaii until after a much more stubborn contest than was expected to occur in connection with the silver convention. te COXEY AND BROWNE. Thg Lender Reconciled to the Mat Who Married His Daughter. From the St. Loats Republic, July Yesterday morning, after an estrange- ment lasting over a year, Jacob S. Coxey was reconciled to the marriage of his daugh- ter to Carl Browne, his lieutenant in his march to Washington with Coxey's army. The reconciliation was effected in the cor- rigor of the Lindell Hotel. On the Fourth of July, 185, Carl Browne eloped from Massillon, Ohio, with one of Coxey’s daughters.

He brought her to St. Louis, to attend the populist convention. Yesterday morning Browne and Coxey met at the foot of the stz There was a big, curious crowd standing about, and the two men realized that it was expected of them that they say something to each other. Coxey’s face flushed, and so did Browne’ S The big, picturesque Browne was the first to make an advance. He walked up to Coxey and put out his hand. How do you do, Mr. Coxe How do you do, Mr. Brow: returned Coxey, with evident reluctance, as he took the hand of the long-haired enthusiast who Married into the Coxey family There was an awkward pause, followed by is question from Coxe How is my daughter he is very well,” replied Browne. “We are stopping at the Holland Hou: would be pleased to have you cal Coxey bowed and the intervie se Jer of the industrial movement re- H he said.

The path was now a shallow, rushing torrent, with mud-thick- ened water, which cascaded round the front of our ankles, and occasionally round our knees in the hollows, and round our heels as we went down hill, Underneath the water there was about an equal mix- ture of mud and rock. I judged by sensa- tions, for I never saw my boots from the time we left the government road until we reached Buana. From the top of these first foothills we should have had a fine View of the sea, had we not been surround- ed by an atmosphere that was 4 per cent water; as was, there was a vast white sheet, or, more properly speaking, cons! ng its stuffy wooliness, a white blanket, stretched across the laadscape to the southwest, where the sea would show. On we went, up one hill and down an- other, sometimes parsing through weed- grown native plantations, sometimes through stretches of high sugar-cane-like which hangs across the path in a isical way, swishing you in the utting you ke a knife when you get edgewise, and pouring insidious rills of water down your neck. I do not think the whole Atlanti> ocean could have got any more water on to me than I had by this time accumulated.

Some give {t an unmitigated red, Michelet, for instance, who so far for- gets himself and history as to call the poor lady a great red camel; others, siding with chivalrous Sir Walter, boldly endow their martyred queen and mistress with rich dark brown tresses. It should not be forgotten, however, that red hair, even modest auburn, suffered a severe eclipse during the early years of our century whereas, under the Valois no one with any pretensions to elegance could be seven Wearing it black. In this particular, at » Mary Stuart must have had the ad- » of Queen Margot, who inherited her father’s dark coloring, and was reduced to dissemble nature's shortcomings by the perruquier’s art. We are told of three gigantic blonde lackeys kept in her service, and brought to the shears as regularly as sheep. Bran- tome, indeed, protests that his incompara- ble princess could carry with grace “even her natural black hair, twisted and plaited a I'Espagnol, as she sometimes wore it, i imitation of her sister, the Queen of Spain. But no such need of insistence, one feels, when he comes to praise the curled golden tresses of the Scottish queen. “Alas!” he cries, “what profanation was that at the dreadful moment of her death when the barbarous executioner snatched her bonnet, and there lay revealed those same fair locks, ncw whitened, thin and wintry,which her friends of France had so often seen to admire, curled and adorned as befitted their beauty and the queen they graced.” airs in the Lindell _ ~~
