A. Windell, Fair- | tions have been made by leadin, ers in the district, State and National con- ventions, and at the lowest calculation 1.800,000 votes at the polls if McKinley is nominated, I base this estimate on the fact that the association has 180,000 mem- bers, and each member is good for ten votes at least.” Mr. Halle, continuing, stated that the love of the liquor men for McKinley was owing to the fact that he had never placed himself in opposition to the liquor traffic and had never favored measures opposed to the interests of saloon-keepers, as had Reed, Morton and Allison. “McKinley,” continued Mr. Halle, “ap- preciates the fact that the liquor traffic is a great industry, and acts accordingly.” el QUAY HAS NOT WITHDRAWN, He Is in the Race for the Nomination to Stay.

The people who are dealing with us abroad notless than the people whoare transacting business here at home, take their estimate | of our financial integrity by the financial standard of the Government which we support, and which we control in im- portant detai!s. If the United States should set up a standard of value which cheapens the present one, which makes a subject of inquiry and of constant questioning whether or not the Government shall maintain the payment of its obligations in the only standard of value which is recognized in the commercial world, ail the financial integrity of the individual citizen in his individual capacity could not save this country from a state of finan- cial collapse. | “If we are to maintain commercial rela- | tions with the greatest people of the world, and if our products are to be sold to them and we are to secure products from them we must have as a standard of value not that which the law says is a standard of value simply, but we| must have as a standard of value which the commercisl world recognizes as the only standard of value. [Applause.] The fiat of the Governmentisone thing; actual value as approved of by the commercial world is another, and in all the contests which have been witnessed from the first day that the first medium of exchange was invented until the present, the commercial world has been indifferent | to what the law has said, and has had as its sole rule and guide the value of the thing which is used as a standard of value and medium of exchange, and the record of the commercial world from the first day until the present time is that no article has ever been used for a medium of exchange beyond the time when, as an article of commerce, it also had the same value that it had as an article of money. [Applause.] | Silver metal has passed from the world | of commerce as a standard of value be- | cause the commercial world has set its seal of condemnation upon it and all the laws placea upon the statute books in | Washington or Westminster, or in Ber- Iin, or in Paris, cannot reinstate it. [Applause.] The silver people in this contest will be beaten through the struggle may be prolonged and ex- | pensive. Expensive from the very fact that here at home there is a serious sus- | picion that the standard of value which has been so long in vogue shall be changed | is sufficient of itself to work the greatest { harm to the business world. It will be beat- | en because there never has yet been a con- test before the American people upon any great question, whether it was a question | of morals or a question of money, but that at the critical time, no matter how far the | error may seem to have gone, the common- sense of the American people asserted it- | self and the right thing always prevailed. | lApplause.] ‘A free silver act never can pass both | houses of the American Congress at the 'same period, [applause] and if it did the American people will never send to Wash- | | ington, indorsed by the vote of the people | sufficient to elect, a President who would | give official sanction to such an act.” | The convention adopted a constitution | and by-laws, elected officers and adjourned to the Hotel Rennert for a banquet. e NEW JERSEX REBUPLICANS, | They Elect Delegates to the St. Louis Convention. | TRENTON, N.
