[ 1 \ THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, JULY 9, 1896. fa-"cy' Governor Boies of -lowa. the Second Ghoice of Many Delegates for the Presidential Nomination in the Ghicago Gonvention Now in Session at Ghicago. - Sketehed from life at the Palmer House last week by J. Kahler of 4 The CallV’s” Art Staff. & wild, glada shout went up from the rep- resentatives of the irrepressible West. Governorr Hogg of Texas made what would no doubt have been a very fine speech if anybody had heard what hesa‘d, but his westures were very dramatic, and when he scowled like a thunderstorm in St. Louis, and murderously shook his clinched fist at a few hundred visitors in the chairs at the farther end of the hall, the people yelled and applauded him. This inspired the Governor to greater ex- ertions and he stamped his. broad Texan feet and brandished his clinched fist in heavy villain style, the poor man laboring under the delusion that THE CALn staff could hear every word that he said and were taking down his remarks in six dif- ferent styles of shorthand. When Hogg got through Chairman ‘White rapped for order, and the gold men began yelling for Hill again as noisily and as piteously as a flock of lambs that had lost their motbers. Blackburn of Ken- tucky received a great round of cheers when he stepped up to the platform and hurled the resonant defiance of the silver men into the gold teeth of the opposition. “Hill! Hill!” yellea the gold men once more, and their request was met by the production of Boss Altgeld, who expressed his very peculiar views on tbe subject of political economy, advancing the start- iing proposition that if you wished to ex- change a bushel of corn for a half pint of whisky you can’t do it without taking in sgilver as the middleman, and that if you can’t get the half ounce of silver the bushel of corn and the half pint of whisky will immediately be put upon the market for a quarter of an ounce of silver, and that the poor man, who in thatevent buys as much for a quarter of an ounce as he had pre- viously paid a bhalf an ounce for, is de- frauded and robbed by Mr. Hill's gold- bugs. Altgeld was well applauded, -although only a very few eould hear what he said, but they clapped their hands and shouted at him to make him feel good and asa mark of courtesy to the boss. Then the song of Hill was again taken up by the belated New Yorkers, and. Chairman White, having succeeded in obtaining a hearing, remarked sarcastically in that clear, ringing silver free-coinage voice of his that the chair would take grezat pleas- ure in recognizing the distinguished gen- tleman from New York, “but,’” he added, “‘what’s the use of calling for a gentleman who is not in the hall?” “Give it up,” shouted a delegate from Montana. After this diversion Mr. Ober- meyer of Pennsylvania was turned loose on the platform and harrowed up the feel- ings of the outraged gold men and rubbed salt on their wounds by exclaiming dra- ‘matically, “Yesterday the seat of empire ‘was transferred from the Atlantic States to the Mississippi Valley."” You shounld have heard the yell with which this toar of defiance was greeted. And so on untii nearly 2 o’clock’ there were silver speeches and gold groans, and then the convention growing very weary of 50 much oratory and tired of waiting for the credentials committee, took a re- cess until 5 p. M. The gold ‘men left the hall feeling that the silver men were on horseback and in- tended to ride roughshod over them. Several hundred newspaper correspon- dents are very much dissatisfied with the manner in which seats for the press have been arranged. It is right, of course, that the press associations should be given the nearest space to the speakers’ platform on both sides, but the hundreds of corre- spondents who have been herded and cramped in a corral 100 feet away where they can see butlittie and hear nothing are chafing in their chairs and muttering their condempation of tie mismanage- ment by reason of which they have been obliged to suffer. Immediately back of the speakers' platform and on both sides of it, where an excellent view of all the delegations may be obtained, and where all the speakers may be plainly heard, isa large space sufficient to accommoaate al- most twice the number of poor devils in the corral, yet this space is given up to ladies and gentlemen who have a push. In consequence, the correspondents are writing to their respective papers roast- Jets concerning the sergeant-at-arms and the manner in which he has laid out the ground plan of the convention. There were 600 seats for the press at the St. Louis Convention, whiie in tbis big hall which will easily seat 15,000 people, there are not more then 400. However, THE CaLy staff have been treated well, because they have succeeeded in obtaining four seats, while the Examiner and the Chron- icle were allowed but two each, a visible indication of the respective circulation and influence of the Chronicle and Examiner as compared with the circulation and in- fluence of THE CALL. Two new free shows of thedime museum order have been opened on State street, within a block of the Palmer House, at a very expensive rental. The names of these are blazonéd in incandescent lights over their respective entrances—the Neiv York Journal and the Cincinnati En- quirer. The vacant store occupied by the Journal is used for the purpose of an exhi- bition-room of quaint-colored posters ad- vertising the Sunday Journal, and a large room partitioned off in the rear contains the real features of the museum—the writers for that paper, of whom there are probable a score. After the horribly ugly women who throng the sidewalks on State street every day have examined the posters they stand at the door of the inner room and gaze with ill-concealed admira- tion at the classic features and the Van- dyke beard of Ned Hamilton of San Fran- cisco, who sometimes does his writing there. Nothing obstructs the view of passers-by from the staff of the Cincinnati Enquirer. The writers extend from the show-window to the rear of the room, illuminated with electric lights and ex- posed to the raking fire of wistful female eyes, whose shafts pierce through the plate-glass windows and tempt the good, pious, gentle, modest reporters to blush. This placing newspaper writers on pub- lic exhibition is suegestive of a freak de- partment 1n 8 dime museum. It is done for the purpose of advertising the news- papers which resort to this store-renting habit. I think that the columns of the newspaper itself, the quantity and quality of matter which 1t contains, its reputation for reliability and integrity, are the best, the most rational and successiul advertise- ment that a newspaper could have. if this plan of giving away a bicycle to the pur- chaser of each box of matches is persisted in some of the sensational journals will will soon be offering a reporter free to each subseriber. A Democratic bootblack, while spoiling my tan shoes a morning or two ago, was bewailing the stupidity and the ignorance of the working people of Chicago. “Why,” he said, “I know a lot of Democratic work- ingmen in this town who say that they are going to vote for McKinley because they want to have the McKinley bill in again, and because they have had nothing but hard times since Cleveland and the rest of the Democrats got into power.” I gave this weeping Democrat a copper cent for a tip. Senator Hill made his first appearance in the convention to-day, at the opening of the evening session at 5 o’clock. He must have felt flattered at the applause bestowed upon him. After having thrown aman into the soup it is magnanimity and good politics to stroke him on the back and compliment him on being a fine swimmer. Jorx PAUL COSGRAVE. e ey DESCRIBED BY McGUIRE. Tumult Caused by the Outpouring of the Feelings of Silver and Gold Men. CHICAGO, IiL., July 8.—The first de- monstrations of the Democratic National Convention of 189 occurred in the Coli- seum to-night. They were the outpour- ings of the pent up feelings of the silver and gold wings of the party. The scenes were full of color. They were keroic in character. It was all over the contest in the Michi gan delegation. There were majority and minority reports from the committee on credentials, and the champions of the two factions urged the indorsement of their re- spective recommendations in outbursts of fevered oratory. The majority report recommended the seating of the contestants from Michigan, and the minority report declared in favor of the persons already seated. After hours of bitter denunciation from both sides a rolicall was ordered, and when New York was reached a great cheer went up from the vast throngs It was started from the delegates from the Eastern States, and the refrain was taken up by the galleries and carriea to the roof. Itwas indeed a period of intense excitement. It was the first pronounced expression of sentiment on the part of the advpcates of the yellow metal and their friends. For a short time it looked like a stam- pede of the conventign by this compact and thoroughly organized element. Flags were waved, hats were tossed up, women stood on chairs and cheered, side by side with the men, all seemed carried away by this sudden expression of devetion to Tammany and the old Democracy of what was once affectionately alluded to by the American people as the Empire State of the Union. ‘When the time came for the silver men tocheer it was thought bv some that the empire had moved westward. The dem- onstration of the silverites was provoked when the chair announced the result of the ballot, and it was shown that they had a large majority in the convention reject- ing the amendment and sustsining the original report of the majority of the com- mittee on resolutions to seat the contest- ing delegates from Michigan. These dele- gates are united for silver, and as they are in the majority they will carry Michigan, which is pledged to the unit rule, twenty- eight strong, into the camp of the white metallists. The specta cle was magnificent. A long, united chorus of voices seemed to swell up from the very ground, it was carried through the rows of silver delegates and thence to the galleries, gain ing additional force as it careered along to the upper sec- tions of the Colisseam and spent its fury in the open air beyond. The music of the band was lost in the volume of voice that rose up from a solid, aggressive, excited, angry, silver multitude. The sea of faces whs a vast mirror that cast forth a thous- and varied reflections under the rays of tha electric lights.. The scene dazzled, ex- cited the senses, bewildered the compre- hension. The vote showed that the silver men had a handsome majority in the conven- tion. They polled 558 votes ‘against 368 by the enemy. The result was most cheer- ing to the silver men and they are confi- dent that they will be able to control the convention, even if the two-thirds rule is allowed to stand. As to candidates they were not heard of in the advance skirmish of the gold and silver men to-day. Itis not likely thata vote on candidates will be reached to-morrow. The day will be consumed with the plat- form, and Senator Hill of New York wiil probably be heard in & speech in support of the minority report which will be sub- mitted to the convention. *“It will be the speech of his life,” said a Tammany man to me to-night, referring to Hill's attitude on the financial question and the line of thought he would probably pursue in his efforts to convince the silver delegates of the error of their ways. “The minority report,” continued my informant, “will commend the honesty, courage and fidelity of the present Democratic administration. From the silver men, however, I learn that President Cleveland will be ignored. Bland is not gaining any additional strength. In fact, he lost ground to-day. Illinois gave it out that the delegation would only vole for him on the first ballot. This was a severe blow to the Bland managers, since they do not expect to secure the nomination of their candi- date until the third or fourth ballot. A. 8. Trude, a leader in the Illinois delega- tion, said to-day: : “We honor Governor Altgeld and will pay him the tribute of voting for Bland on the first ballot. After that I think Illinois will take up a man from within its own borders, and I don’t think Mr. Alt- geld will undertake to force usany further than this. There is a majority of the con- vention now determined to break away from Blana after the first vote and take up an Illinois man. They are divided only on the question of whether it shall be Stevenson or Nick Worthington, Iam inclined to the belief that the Illinois vote will go for Btevenson after the first ballot.” Free Morris of Watseka said: I be- lieve if 1he Governor lets us alone after the first ballot tnat Illinois will havea candidate of its own, and willputupa good fight for him too. It will be either Platform of the Democratic Party as Presented to the Convention. We, the Democrats of the United States, in National Convention assembled, do reaffirm our allegiance to those great essential principles of justice and liberty upon which our institutions are founded and which the Democratic party has advocated from Jefferson’s time to our own—freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom of conscience, the preservation of personal rights, the equality of all citizens before the law and the faithful observance of constitutional limitations. During all these years the Democratic party bas resisted the tendency of selfish interests to the centralization of governmental power and steadfastly maintained the integrity of the dual scheme of gover nment established. by the founders of this Re- public of republics. Under its guidance and teachings the great principle of local self-government has found its best ex pression in the maintenance of the rigkts of the States and in its assertion of the necessity of confining the General Government to the exercise of the powers granted by the constitution of the United States. Realizing that the money question is paramo-nt to all others at this time, we in- vite attention to the fact that the Federal comstitution names silver and gold together as the money metals of the United States, and that the first coinage law passed by Congress under the constitution made the silver dollar the monetary unit, and admitted gold to free coinage at a ratio based upon the silver dollar unit. We de- clare that the act of 1873 demonetizing silver without the knowledge or approval of the American people bas resulted in the appreciation of gold and a corresponding fall in the prices of commodities produced by the people; a heavy increase in the burden of taxation and of all debts, public and private, the entrenchment of the money-lending class at home and abroad, the prostration of industry and impoverishment of the peo- ple. We are unalterably opposed to monometallism, which has locked fast the pros- perity of the industrial people in the paralysis of hard times. Gold monometallism is 8 British policy and its adoption has brought other nations into financial servitude to London. It is not only un-American but anti-American and it can be fastened on the United States only by the stifiing of that spirit and love of liberty which pro- claimed our political independence in 1776 and won it in the war of the Revolution. We demand the free and unlimited coinage of both gold and silver.at the present legal ratio of 16 to 1 without waiting for the aid or consent of sny other nation. We demand that the standard silver dollar shall be a full legal tender equally with gold for all debts, public and private, and we favor such lecislation as will prevent in the {future the demonetization of any kind of legal tender money by private contract. ‘We are opposed to the policy and practice of surrendering to the holders of the obligations of the United States the option reserved by law to the Government of redeeming such obligations in either silver coin or goM coin. We ate opposed to the issue of interest-bearing bonds of the United States in time of pea nd condemn the trafficking with banking syndicates, which, in exchange for bonds, and at an enormous profit to themselves, supply the Federal treasury with gold to maintain the policy of gold monometallism, . Congress alone has the power to coin and issue money, and President Jackson declared that this power could not be delegated to corporations or individuals. We therefore demand that the power to issue notes to circuléte as money be taken from the National banks and that all paper money shall be 1ssned directly by the Treasury Lepartment, be redeemable in coin and receivable for all debts public and private. We hold that tariff duties shoula be levied ior the purpose of revenue, such duties to be so adjusted as to operate equally throughout the country and not discriminate between class or section, and that taxation should be limited by the needs of the Government, honestly and economically administered. We denounce as disturbing to business the Republican threat to restore the McKinley law, which has twice been condemned by the people in National elections, and which, enacted until the false plea of protection to home industry, proved a prolific breeder of trusts and monopolies, enriched a few at the expense of the many, restricted trade and deprived the producers of the great American staples of access to their natural markets. Until the money question is settled we are opposed to any agitation for further changes in our tariff laws, except such as are necessary to meet the deficit in revenue causea by the adverse decision of the Supreme Court on the income tax. But for this decision by the Supreme Court there would be no deficit in the revenue in the law passed by a Democratic Congress in Strict pursuance of the uniform decisions of that court for nearly 100 years, that court having in that decision sustained consti- tutivnal objections to its enactment which had previously been overruled by the ablest Judges who have ever sat on that bench. % ‘We declare that it is the duty of Congress (o use all the constitutional power which tute for the words *in its entirety” the fetlonie: i finance.

They were not men of wide reputation ss a rule, but were for the most part intelligent, alert, active commercial travelers. Preparations are being made for the visit of a large number of ladies on the 15th of July. Among the callers to-day was Captain Charles Roberts of the United States army.

We hold that the most efficient way of protecting American labor is to prevent the importation of foreign pauper labor to compete with it in the home market, and that the home market to our American farmers and artisans is greatly re- duced by a vicious monetary system which,depresses the prices of their products be. low the cost of producticn and thus deprives them of the means of purchasing the products of our home manufacturers. The absorption of wealth by the few, the consolidation of our leading railroad sys- tems and the-formation of trusts and poois. require a stricter control by the l'cderal Government.of those srteries of commerce. We demand the enlargement of the powers of the Interstate Commission and such restrictions and guarantees in the con- trol of railroads as will protect the people from robbery and oppression. ‘We denounce the proflizate wasté of the money wrung from the people by oppres- sive taxation and the lavish appropriations of recent Republican Congresses, which haye kept taxes high while the laborer that pays them is unemployed, and products of the people’s toil are depressed in price till they no longer repay the cost of produc- tion. We demand a return to that simplicity and economy which befits a democratic Governmert and reduction in the number of useless offices, the salaries of which drain the substance of the people. ‘We denounce arbitrary interference by Federal authorities in local affairs as a violation of the constitution of the United Statesand a crime against free institutions, and we especially object to Government by injunction as a new and highly dangerous form of oppression by which Federal Judges, in contempt of the laws of the States and rights of citizens, become at once legislators, Judges and executioners, and we approve tha bill passed at the last session of the United States Senate and now pending in the House of Representatives relative to contempts in Federal courts, and providing for trials by jury in certain cases of contempt. No discrimination should be indulged by the Government of the United Stales in favor of any of its debtors, We approve of the refusal of the Fifty-third Congress to pass the Pacific Railroad funding bill and denounce the efforts of the present Republi- can Congress to enact a similar measure. Recognizing the just claims of deserving Union soldiers, we heartily indorse the rule of the present Commissioner of Pensions, that no names shall be arbitrarily drovped from the pension rolls, and the fact of enlistment and service should be deemed conclusive evidence against disease and disability before enlistment. ‘We favor the admission of the Territories of New Mexico and Arizona into the Union as States, and we favor the early admission of all the Territories having the necessary population and resources to entitle them to statehood, and while they remain Territories we hold that the officials appointed to administer the ‘zovernment of any Territory, togethet with the District of Columbia and Alaska, should be bona-fide resi- dents of the Territory or district in which the duties are to be performed. The Demo- cratic party believes in home rule and that all public lands of the United States should be appropriated to the establishment of free homes for American citizens. We recommend that the Territory of Alaska be granted a delegate in Congress, and that the general land and timber laws of the United States be extended to said Territory. We extend our sympathy to the people of Cuba in their heroic struggle for liberty and independence. ‘Weare opposed to life tenure in the public service. We favor appointments based upon merit, fixed terms of office and such an administration of the civil service laws as will afford equal opportunities to all citizens of ascertained fitness. ‘We declare it to be the unwritten law of this Republic established by custom and usage of 100 years and sanctioned by the examnples of the greatest and wisest of those who founded and have maintained our Government that no man should pe eligible for a third term of the Presidential office. The Federal Government should care for and improve the Mississippi River and other great waterways of the Republic so as to secure for the interior States easy and cheap transportation to tidewater. When any waterway of the Republic is of sui- ficient importance to demand aid of the Government such aid should be extended upon a definite plan of continuous work until permanent improvement is secured. Confiding in the justice of our cause and the necessity of its success at the polls we submit the foregoing declaration of principles and purposes to the considerate judg- ment of the American people. We invite the support of all citizens who approve them and who desire to have them made effective through legislation for the relief of the people and the restoration of the country’s prosperity.

CHICAGO, Irr., July 8.—A letter writ- ten by Senator Hill to the Atlanta Consti- tution on July 13, 1893, on the issue for the campaign of 1896, was quietly circu- lated about the hall this atternoon. In the letter Senator Hill declared him- self opposed to the repeal of the Sherman law, and said: “We should be for iree silver coinage under an international agregment, if it be possible to procure it—and for which every exertion should be made—and if not pos- sible then for independent bimetallism, This is the one great goal for which we should -strive. It cannot be done at once. Our friends must not be impa- tient. The people must be educated. The unexpected action of India- and the general sentiment of the moneyed classes conspire against us at this time, I do not believe in the Bland bill orany other measure which guarantees anythi less than an unrestricted coinage of eol b and silver alike as pledged in the Demo- cratic National platform. Let us prepare, not for present vistory, but for victory upon that issue in 1896. The repeal of the Sherman law wili not giva the relief which is anticipated. It will aid business tem- porarily, but in a year times will be hard and the demand for permanent financial relief will be irresistible. We should con- tinue to hold out free silver as the goal which the country must uitimately reach. The triumph of the monometallist will be ‘but temporary.” A ROAST FOR GROVER. Senator Tillman Has an Amend- ment to the President’s Indorsement. 8 ' CHICAGO, ILn., July 8.—When the report of the committes on resolutions is made to the convention a minority report will be also presented indorsing -the financial policy of the Cleveland adminis- tration. The report will be very short and relate exclusively to the financial plank. It declares for the existing standard and indorses the calling together of an international monetary conference. To this Senator Tiliman of South Caro- lina will offer an amendment and address the convention upon it. Senator Tillman’s amendment is in these words: 2 We denounce the administration of Presi- dent Cleveland as un-Democraticand tyranical | and as a departure from those principles which are cherished by all liberty-loving Americans, “Great bargains in fine suits, old boy, advertised by Shoutloud, Doemup & Co.” “But I don’t like the name.” “Pshaw! what’s in a name ?"” *‘Well—there are ‘bargains’ and bargains—gold and dross, wheat and chaff, substance and wind.
