WEEKLY-NORWALK 'GAZE'r'TEI . , , . McKlNLEY—--continued. vociferous, and When he asserted. the pew- arof the United States to control their own affairs without dictation“ from Eu- rope in the matte-1' of finance or anything also many of the delegates were drawn in- to the display of enthusiasm' by the wild tumult about them. but the Colorado sen- ator made no efforiflat dramatic effect. He spoke in the clear, ringing tones which have so often echoed through the chamber of the United States senate. It Was not until toward the close of his speech that he became both impressive and pathetic. His review of his long serv- ice in the party visibly affected him. As he realized the step he was about to take he drew himself together for a final appeal, and declared with an earnestness that impressed, all who heard him that in his opinion the morality, the religion and the salvation of the 'Eountry were at stake. After he had said, “I must sever my connection with the political party which makes the gold plank one of the principal articles of its faith,” the senator paused and swept his eyes around the balk for 33 instant the full significance of his de- fiance ailed to impress itself; then it sunk home, and the galleries rose with another yell, and mingl_i£%1 thirthe yell a fusil- lade of hi gs. " out after, when he said that under such circumstances he r' ' alned in the party he would be un- is in; to his trust, enthusiatic cries of J‘No, no,” came mm the delegates in the eastern and sent ern state; There was de feeliiig. almost pathos, in the senator’s-Voice. and those nearest could detect the glimmer of ‘tears when he said there ware heartburnings and rief in the sacrifice which he and his col- segues were to make for their consciences. Another demonstration arose when Sen- ator Teller folded ' his arms against the pink rosebud on his coat and sank into his seat. The cheer began this time with the sil< ver men, and spread to the galleries, and caught up in its whirl many of the gold delegates, who Were on their feet, from admiration, not of‘the cause, but of the man, and this time the biases were very few. . The demonstration was followed by loud cries for “Foraker! Forakerl” from all‘parts of the hall. The Substitute Tabled. The senator elect from Ohio, the chair- man of the resolutions committee, arose, but not to reply to the speech of the Colo- rado senator. Withoutaword he moved to lay the substitute offered by Mr. Teller on the table. Senator Lodge of Massachusetts, from his place on the floor. seconded the mo- tion. This motion had the effect of call- ing off further debate, and Senator Teller demanded a roll call of states. His de- mand was quickly supported by Senator Mantle on behalf of Montana and Dele- gate Cleveland of Nevada. The first state, Alabama, voted 15 to 7 in favor of the motion. When California cast 3 votes for the motion and 15 against, the vote was challenged. California instructed for free silver, and the silver men proposed to put the recalcitrants on record. They stood . .by their guns, and answered “Aye” when their names were called. Colorado, of course, voted “No” solidly, but Connecti- cut, Delaware and Georgia went solid-1y for gold. In Illinois a single delegate, James C. Blnckney of Peoria, voted for silver. Idaho went for silver, while Gen- eral Dave Henderson and the venerable chk Thompson rose and cast the respec- tive votes of Indiana and Iowa for gold. Four of the Kansas delegates—Murdock, Lambert, Dean and Vincent—voted for silver. One vote in Michigan and Mis- souri was cast for silver, but Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts and Mis- sissippi swung solidly into line against the white metal. ' ‘ Montana for silverwas then the only break in the list of states until North Carolina was reached, when 14% of her 22 votes were cast for silver. North Dakota, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Is- land, South Carolina Went solid for gold. There was a break of two in South Da- kota, one in Tennessee and five in Vir- ginia. Utah cast her six votes for silver, as did Arizona and Wyoming. New Mex- ico cast three of her votes for gold and Oklahoma one for gold. Farofi Alaska gave her fourvotes for gold. Protest of the Silver Men. After the roll call had resulted in the tabling of the silver substitute for the money plank of the platform, and a second roll call had resulted in the adoption of the majority report, Mr. Cannon of Utah presented the following protest, which was read: In announcing the purpose asserted in this paper it is due to our constituents and to our- selves that there shall be a public showing of vindicating facts. 'The sole authorized expres- sion of national Republican faith from June 9, 1892, until the present date has been the plat- form adopted in the national convention at Minneapolis. Neither the utterances of state conventions nor the attitude of individuals could change the tenor of that platform or abate the sanctity of its binding force. Every delegate to this convention was elected as its adherent and its advocate. True, one of its not. important paragraphs has been subjected to such a divergence of construction as to make its language unsatisfactory during the intervening time and dangerous if continued in the future, but of the intent contained within that language there has never been a doubt. It is the rightful province of this con- vention to revise the party tenets and to an- nounce anew the party purpose. The majority of this convention in the exercise of such au- thority has this day made omcial enunciation of Republican law and gospel. ' With much of the platform we agree, believing that in many essential particulars it compasses the needs of humanity, affirms the maintenance of right and proposes the just remedy for wrong. But it declares one elemental principle not only in direct contravention of the expression of party faith in 1892, but in radical opposition to our solemn conviction. We recognize that in all matters of mere methods it is but just and hel ful that the minority shall yield to the “711' l of the majority, lest we have chaos in parties and in government. But as no pro- nouncement by majorities can change oppos- roaauna NOMINkrINc M’KINLEY. ing knowledge or belief sincerely entertained, , so it cannot oblige minorities to abandon or disavow their principles. Assuredly as it is requisite for peace and progress that minori- . ties shall yield to majorities in matters of mere method. just so surely is it necessary for that same peace and progress that minorities “shall not yield in matters of fundamental truth. ,1. . l ’ . ‘ stain-in. i ‘ublicanv " ‘ ' latform of -1892 unlined 3 i. that the American people, from tradition and interest, favored bimetallism and demanded the use of both gold and silver as standard money. This was accepted by us as a declara- tion in behalf of the principle upon which rest the interest of every citizen and the safety of the United States. In such terms the platform was then satisfactory to the believers in bimetallism within our party. Only because of equivocal construction and evasion has it since been demonstrated to be insufficient. The platform this day adopted in the national Republican party convention at St. Louis says: “The declaration of 1892 has been by a majority of the party construed to justify a single gold standard for our monetary basis. And as the recent trend of the official power of the party has been in that direction, we can but assume that the money plank of the new platform, being much more favorable to perpetuate gold monometallism, will be determinedly used in behalf of that idea. The Republican party has won its power and renown by pursuing its purposes courageously and relentlessly. It is, therefore, only in accordance with the party’s history to assume that if it shall come to pre- sent authority in the United States it will crystallize into the law and administration under this tempting platform the perpetual ~[single gold standard in our finances. This, if long contlgged, will mean the absolute ruin of thg produ eye of the country and finally of the nation itself. The American people not only favor bimetal- lism from tradition and interest, but from that wise instinct who}; has always been manifest in e alfalfa o a people destipetl 10!; the war ‘8 leadership. Under the operatioh at our great demand for. advancement we have become to other nations the greatest debtor nation of the world. We pay the vastcha; es, which every year'accumulate against us in he clearihg hdusés of the world with the money of the world procured by the disposal of our ‘ commodities in the markets of the world. We aro‘a nation of producersJ Our creditors are nations of consumers: Any system of inter~ national or national finance which elevates the price of human products makes our burden lighter and gives promise of that day when it shall be entirely lifted and our country freed financially, as it is politically, from the domi- nation of monarchy and "' foreign autocracy. Any system of finance which tends to depre *ciate the price of human productions which we must sell abroad adds to the burden of our debt and conveys a threat of the perpetual servitude of the producers of our debtor na- tion to the consumers of creditor nations. “A Folly \Vithout Parallel." It is a folly without parallel that this coun- try or any political party therein should de- liberately accept a money system which en- riches others at our cost. History, philosophy, morals, all join with the commonest instinct of self preservation in demanding that the United Stat-es shall have a. just and substan. tially unvarying standard composed of all available gold and silver, and with it 0111 country will progress to financial enfranchise- ment. But with a single gold standard the country will go on to worse destruction-to continued falling prices -— until our people would become the beware of wood and the drawers of water for the consumers in cred- itor nations of the earth. To such an unholy end we will not lend our- selves. Dcar as has been the Republican name to its adherents, that name is not so dear as the faith itself. And we do ‘not sacrifice one jot or tittle of the mighty principles by which Republicanism has uplifted the world when we say that at the parting of the ways we cling to the faith, let the name go who're it will. We hold that this convention has seceded from the truth; that the triumph of such secession [would be the eventual destruction of our free- dom and our civilization. To that end the people will not knowingly jollclv any political party, and We choose to take our place in the ranks of the great mass of citizens who realize that the hour has come for justice. Did we deem this issue less important to humanity we would yield, since the associations of all our political lives have been intertwined with the men and the measures of this party of past mighty achievement-s. But the people cry aloud for relief. They arebending beneath a burden growing heavier with the passing hours. Endeavor no longer brings its just re- ward. Fearfulness takes the place of courage. and despair usurps the throne of hope, and unless the laws of the country and the pol- icies of political parties shall be converted into mediums of redress the effect of human des- peration may some time be witnessed here as in other lands and in other ages. Accepting the fiat of this convention as the present purpose of the party. we withdraw from this convention to return to our constit- uents the authority with which they invested us, believing that we have better discharged their trust by this action which restores to them authority unsullied than by giving cow- ardly and insincere indorsement to the great- est wrong ever willfully attempted within the Republican party—once redeemer of the peo- ple. but now about to become their oppressor unless providentially restrained by the votes of freeman. This document was signed by Senators Teller of Colorado, Dubois of Idaho and Cannon of Utah, Congressman Hartman of Montana and Mr. Cleveland of Nevada as the representatives of their respective states on the committee on resolutions. There was hissing among the dele- gates at the conclusion of the reading of the protest. Cheers were also heard in various parts of the hall. Cannon still occupied the stage. There were voices from all over the hall: “Let him print.” “Get out.” Thurston said the Republican party need not fear any declaration, and the wildest scene of the convention en- sued. Delegates arose to their feet, mount- ed chairs, wayed fans and hats and cheered lustily, while a voice from far off in the hall said, “Let them go and be d——d l” Thurston said that whatever was to be said within reasonable limits should be listened to with respectful attention. And be trusted to the action of the American people at the polls in November. Loud cheers followed this announcement. As the names of Teller. Dubois, Can- non, Hartman, Pettigrew and Cleveland of Nevada were read, there were hisses. At the conclusion, Teller and Cannon shook hands with Thurston and others and bade them goodby. Then the silver men all filed out of the hall. Senator Lee Mantle of Montana was then recognized and took the platform for a speech. He declared that all the delegates from Montana had not felt jus- tified in walking out, although they could not either approve or indorse the financial plank of the platform. He said that the Montana delegation had divided. Some will, continue to participate and the oth- ers will remain silent. The delegation reserved the right, he said, to refer the platform to the Republicans of Montana. Grosvenor of Ohio demands to know if this convention should be turned into a Democratic gatherin Senator Brown of fijtah took the stand - and said the delegation of Utah had not bolted. Three had gone and three re- mained, and the alternates had taken the places of the delegates who had gone, and would remain loyal to the party. The following were the delegates who walked out: Entire delegation of Colo- rado; Idaho, 3; Utah, 8; Pettigrew, South Dakota; Hartman. Montana; Cleveland and Strother, Nevada. ' Making the Nominations. , As soon as quiet had been restored a roll call of states for fiacing in nomination the candidates for president was ordered. When Iowa was reached, John M. Baldwin took the platform and made a speech pre- senting the name of Senator Allison. When Maine was called. there were great cheering and cries of “Reed” and “Lodge.” The chairman of the delegation announced that Maine gave way to Sena~ tor Lodge of Massachusetts. who in an im- passioned, address placed in nomination Speaker Thomas B. Reed. to whom he re- . ferred‘ as_”a thorough American by birth, ' all men and are part of the history of the streams of lightning. He adds, how— by descent, by breeding, one who loves his country and has served it in youth and manhood, in war and peace. His great ability, his originality of thought, his pow- er in debate, his strong will, are known of last 20 years. His public career is as spot- less as his private character is pure and unblemished. He is a trained statesman, fit for the heaviest task the country can impose upon him. He commands the con- fidence of his party and his country. He is a leader of men. We know it because we have seen him lead.” After the usual seconds had been made and New York was reached on the call Chauncey M. Depew placed Governor Mor- ton of New York in nomination in one of his characteristically strong speeches, which was loudly applauded. Then North Carolina and North Dakota were called and passed and the clerk shout- ed “Ohio.” This was the signal for'the wildest outburst of enthusiasm since the opening of the convention. Delegates shouted and cheered, while the women in the gallery waved hats and parasols and threw bouquets down into the pit. Amid the arcitement Senator Foraker arose and to the accompaniment of con: tinuous applause walked down the aisle and mounted the platform. As soc}; as hp 311'!!!" make himself heard he nominated cKinley in a fiery impromptu speech, when the enthusiasm again broke loose, and bedlam reigned for a few m‘b’ments, Quay‘s name was presented by Governor Hastings ofPennsylvania, This completed the list of nominatioi's'. A ballot was then ordered, and the clerk began to readthe roll of states. W -. .1 at?" HORSES MADE OVER. Some of the Tricks of Dealers to Restore. Brief Youth to Aged Equines. The bolstering of ancient horses has become almost an art. An expert in this practice can take the most de- crepit street car wreck, and in ashort time so alter his appearance that the careless buyer would consider. him a bargain at a fairly good figure. The tricks employed to gain the ends of the owner of the: time—worn horse are as numerous as they are cruel. One of the most recent and ingenious inventions of the unscrupulous is a treatment for filling out the- eyes,which, as a rule, are sunk far back in the head. This operation consists in cutting an opening in.- each optic, in which the nozzle of a. small air bellows is inserted. \V-ind is then gently pumped into and around the organ, puffing it out and giving it the appearanceof a horse in perfect condition. 01’ course, like all other “fake” remedies, the- apparently beneficial results last for a limited time only, after which the normal conditions return. ' - Another and favorite method of im- provement is the injection of a large dose of whisky into the animal, a. hypo- dermic syringe being employed to pump the invigora’wr into the beast to be' disposed of. Several secret com- pounds are also employed by various unsrt'upulous traders. In fact, there are :many injections compounded which contain a limited amount of the fireiof youth. Then the broken-down animal is often fed on alcoholic essence of oats, while well-moistened hay will fill cut an emaciated frame in short order. Add to these careful grooming and clipping and'judicious exercise, and it doesn’t take long to bring about a. complete metamorphosis. There are tricks in all trades, undoubtedly, but in none are there more than in that of horse dealing. Dave B. Herrington, of Fleetwood fame, said to a. Journal reporter: “One of the. greatest difficulties I have to contend with is circumventing the ef- forts of the sharps who try to palm of? on me apparently. sound animals to train. As a. matter of fact. these ani- mals are ‘bolstered‘ for the time being, and I am supposed to receive them in firstrclass condition. Then, when the effects of their stimulants have worn off, the owners propose to come to me and charge me with not properly caring for their animals, and thereby ruining their constitutions.”—-N'. Y. Journal. Chain Lightning. An extraordinary lightning story is told by a correspondent. He says that during” the evening of. September 9 last, while a violent thunder storm was raging, he saw eight strange lightning flashes, having “a chain formation with large. elliptical links and of a. golden- yellow color.” These “flashes” were as- tonishingly slow, as “one of them took slightly over a minute to pour from the clouds to the edge of the valley oppo- site me.” This singular account. he- comes more interesting since a later correspondent of the same journal has testified to its substantial accuracy from his own observations of similar ever, that he has never seen the “chain” form, but has witnessed the spectacle of a thick stream pouring slowly down “in the sort of curve which liquid takes from a kettle.”—Nature. -——“This present warm Spell,” began the oldest ,inhabitant”— “Yes, I know,”~ interrupted a gruff bystander. “It re- minds you of a. still warmer one a. bun- dred years ago.” “No,” continued the oldest inhabitant, coolly. “It. is the worst I have ever experienced for this season of the year.” —— Philadelphia ‘ North American. .
