the use of the proceeds to defray the ordi-
nary expenses of the government are both
unlawful and a usurpation Of authority
deserving impeachment.”
The first sentence was a firebrand which
ignited a great blaze of hissns and a coun-
ter flame of cheers which could not equal
the hisses, and the entire reading of the
resolution was fiercely hissed. He closed
with a warning to the delegates that they
must unite the jealous and rival elements
of the silver forces or victory for Democra-
cy would be impossible.
Senator Jones of Arkansas took the plat-
form and said: “I am a southern man. I
carried a southern-musket during the war,
but I repudiate the suggestion that the sil-
ver question knows any section. It is the
cause of mankind.”
Flying flags and handkerchiefs and the
approving roar of 15,000 throats answered.
Senator Hill's Reply.
Senator Hill ascended the platform amid
a perfect storm of applause. He went to
the platform, shook the hand of the pre-
siding oflicer and then with a smile bowed
his acknowledgments to the shouting,
gesticulating crowd. Men were on their
chairs waving handkerchiefs and flags and
tossing hats in the air. The vast volume
Of sound ebbed and flowed and would no
sooner die away than it would be again,
taken up and echoed and re-echoed until
' the great building rang.
“Three cheers for Bill!” came from the
Massachusetts delegation, half of them on
chairs, and it was given with a will, New
York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and the
vast assemblage joining in the demonstra—
tion.
When at last order was partially re-
stored, Mr. Hill began calmly, but with a
voice that readily reached to the galleries.
He said he would not attempt to follow or
answer the senator from South Carolina.
“I can say to him,” said Mr. Hill, “that
I am a Democrat, but not a goldbug.”
Again the demonstration broke forth
and lasted half a minute.
South Carolina. with all its power,
proceeded Mr. Hill, could not drive him
out of the Democratic party. He came
here on a mission to unite, not to divide;
to build, not to destroy; to plan for vic-
tories, not to plot for defeat. New York
made no apologies to South Carolina.
The great Empire State had stood for
years as the Gibraltar Of Democracy. Mr.
Hill said he deprecated attacks on those
who believed in the free coinage Of silver
at 16 to 1. He had always treated men Of
this opinion with respect, and he would do
the same today. To him the question was
one on which men fairly difl'ered. He be-
lieved the best course for this convention
to pursue was to take the first step toward
international bimetallism. The United
States could not safely ignore the mone-
tary systems of other great nations, and
yet the platform contained no word favor-
ing this desirable and. It contained no
suggestion of what should be done if par-
ity could not be maintained on the experi-
ment of 16 to 1. All was risk and experi-
ment. The fact cannot be ignored of the
great production of silver in this country.
Could the American people, even if in-
spired by the spirit Of 1776, make copper
the equal of gold! Could they shut their
eyes to the question Of production of the
metals?
“I believe,” declared Mr. Bill, “that
the course for us to take is to declare for
international bimetallism and stop there.”
Reference to Paper Money.
Aside from the silver question, Mr. Hill
went on, why had this platform gone in
to the greenback question? Why had it
gone into the question of banks and bonds?
He had hoped that the counsels of wise,
calm, cool headed men would prevail.
What was the advantage, he asked, of
placing in the platform an implied pledge
for the issue of paper currency? Demo-
cratic tradition had always favored hard
money. The senator from Arkansas had
declared that the platform said what it
meant and meant what it said. He chal-
lenged some one who was to follow him
to explain what this plank meant. He de-
nounced a declaration of a policy for the
issue of paper money as suicidal. The in-
come tax plank he scathingly criticised. He
stood amazed, he said, that the followers
of Samuel J. Tilden, who all his life had
opposed it, should now seek to commit
their party to this ridiculous scheme, and
who to do so were forced to condemn the
supreme court of the United States. Hill’s
sarcasm set his followers to cheering.
Senator Vilas of Wisconsin followed Mr.
Hill and indorsed the presentatidn of the
case of the minority members as set forth
by that gentleman. Ex-Governor Russell
spoke in the same strain.
Amid wild applause Bryan of Nebraska
took the platform and argued in favor of
the majority report, which Rivas finally
adopted by practically the same relative
vote as that by which Daniel defeated Hill
for the temporary chairmanship.
The Committee on Resolutions.
The committee on resolutions held a
brief meeting prior to the meeting of the
convention and agreed upon several
amendments to the platform, the most im-
portant of which was the following substi-
tution for the plank on bank issues:
“Congress alone has poWer to coin and
issue money, and President Jackson de-
clared that this power could not be dele-
gated to corporations or to individuals.
We therefore denounce the issuance of
notes as money for national banks as in
derogation of the constitution, and we de-
mand that all paper which is made legal
tender for public and pfivate debts or
which is resolvable for dues to the United
States shall has”? the government
of the United shall be redeem-
able in coin. ”
At the suggestion of ex-Senator Walsh
and Delegate Dwyer, the new committee-
man from California, seconded by Mr.
Holman of Maine, the following was add-
ed to the preamble:
“The constitution of the United States
guarantees to every citizen the rights of
civil and religious liberty. The Democratic
party-has always been the exponent Of po-
litical liberty and religious freedom, and it
renews its obligations and renflirms its
devotion to these fundamental principles
of the constitution. ”
Additions were also made declaring for
arbitration and making the labor plank
more explicit. ' '
THE MINORITY’S PROTEST.
Report to the Convention of Sixteen Mem-
bers of the Resolutions Committee.
CHICAGO, July 10.—-The following is the
report of the minority of the committee
on resolutions, as presented by Senator
H ill:
, To the Democratic Convention:
, Sixteen delegates, constituting the mi-
nority of the committee on resolutions, find
many declarations in the report of the ma-
jority to which they cannot give their as-
sent. Some Of these are wholly unneces-
sary. Some are ill considered and ambig—
uously phrased, while others are extreme
and revolutionary of the well recognized
pripciplcs of. the party, The minogity con-
tent" themselves {kW—this g’eTn'e'rEl. e‘xpres-
sicn of their dissent without going into a
specific statement of these objectionable
features of the report of the majority.
But upon the financial question, which
engages at this time the public attention,
the views of the majority difier so funda-
mentally frcm what the minority regard
as vital Democratic doctrine as todemand
a distinct statement of what they hold to
be a just and true expression of Demo-
cratic faith upon this paramount issue, as
follows, which is ofiered as a substitute
for the financial planks in the majority
report: .
We declare our belief that the experiment
on the part Of the United States alone of
free silver coinage and a change'of the ex-
isting standard of value, independently of
the action of other great nations, would
not only imperil our finances, but retard
for entirely prevent the establishment of
international bimetallism, to which the
efforts of the government should be stead-
ily directed. It would place this country
at once upon a silver basis, impair con-
tracts, disturb business, diminish the pur-
chasing power of the wages of labor and
inflict inoperable evils upon our nation’s
commerce and industry.
Until international cO-Operation among
leading nations for the free coinage of sil-
ver can be secured," we favor the rigid
maintenance of the existing gold standard
as essential to the preservation of our na-
tional credit, the redemption of our public
pledges, and the keeping inviolate of our
country’s honor. We insist that all our
paper and silver currency shall be kept ab-
solutely at a parity with gold. The Dem-
ocratic party is the party of hard money,
and is opposed to legal tender paper money
as a part of our permanent financial sys-
tem, and we therefore favor the gradual
retirement and cancellation of all United
States notes and treasury notes, under
such legislative provisions as will prevent
undue contraction. We demand that the
national credit shall be resolutely main-
tained at all times and under all circum-
stances. '
The minority also feel that the report
of the majority is defective in failing to
make any recognition of the honesty, econ-
omy, courage and fidelity of the present
Democratic administration, and they
therefore offer the following declaration
as an amendment to the majority report:
“We commend the honesty, economy, cour-
age and fidelity of the present Democratic
national administration. ”

Senator Hill also Ofi‘ered the following
amendments to the platform and moved
their adoption:
“But it should be carefully provided by
law at the same time that any change in
the monetary standard should not apply to
existing contracts.” “Our advocacy of the
independent free coinage of silver being
based on belief that such coinage will
effect and maintain a parity between gold
and silver at the ratio of 16 to 1, we de-
clare as a pledge Of our sincerity that if
such free coinage shall fail to effect such
parity within one year from its enactment
by law, such coinage shall thereupon be
suspended. ”
British Comment on the Convention.
LONDON, July 10.——The Times comments
editorially upon the Chicago convention
as follows: “It is always well to know the
worst, and in Engl nd certainly some
gratitude may be fe t for the extreme
firapkness Of the majority in control of the
convention. We take note of the fact that.
one Of the historic American parties is
fairly captured by men who glory in dis
honest aims and avow their desire to re-
pudiate national and private debts.”
Proceeding to deal with the question of
the weakness of the sound money section
of the Democrats and the strength of the
silverites, The Times continues: “From
the European point of view the whole sit-
uation is deplorable. With the fundamen-
tal principles of sound finance and fair
dealing thus powerfully assailed it is dim-
cult to look forward with confidence to
any speedy revival of American credit in
the old world. Nor is the outlook much
more cheerful from the American stand—
point, for there are signs that estrange-
rnent between the west and south on the
one hand and the east on the other threat-
ens the stability Of American institutions
with novel dangers.”
The Standard, in an editorial on the
convention, says: “The leading silverites
are playing upon the ignorances, preju-
dices and cupidity of the delegates so suc-
cessfully that the honest money Democrats
are utterly powerless. The platform is one
dictated by greed and envy.”
The editorial in The Daily News on the
same subject says: “The platform appeals
avowedly to some of the least creditable
feelings of the people. But it is satisfac-
tory to note that an active campaign is in
progress exposing the dangers and discred-
it attaching tO a deliberate choice of a de-
preciated currency.”

' THE c- :sr'IAN ENDEAVORB‘BEY"
Great Crowds Throng the Big Tents at
the Opening Exercises.
WASHINGTON, July 10.—The collapse of
the big white tent Williston at 1 O'clock
this morning, due to the heaVy fall of rain
last night and the severe windstorm that
followed, somewhat disconcerted the com-
mittee of arrangements with regard to the
formal opening of the fifteenth annual in-
ternational Christian Endeavor conven-
tion at 9:30 O’clock today.
Arrangements were hastily made to 00-
cupy Central hall until the Williston could
be dried and re-erected. Extra seats were
hurriedly placed in the other tents, notices
were posted announcing the change in
plan and the work of the convention pro-
ceeded without delay. The other tents,
Washington and Endeavor, were packed
long before the hour of opening with a
crowd of brightly dressed, eager faced dele-
gates, as were the avenues leading to the
several entrances.
Flags of every description, streamers,
banners and sashes, announcing the vari-
ous state and district organizations, were
displayed with enthusiasm, while the del-
egates waited impatiently for the opening
of the Sessions. Promptly at the appointed
hour the exercises began in each tent with
song and prayer, the great chorus of a
thousand voices lending. Then came the
hymn of welcome written for this occasion
by Colonel John Hay, the addresses of wel-
come by Chairman W. H. H. Smith, the
Rev. S. H. Green and Commissioner John
W. Boss of Washington followed. They
were responded to by Dr. J. Service of De-
troit, Bishop Walters of New Jersey and
Professor W. W. Andrews of New Bruns-
wick. The addresses of President Clark
and Secretary Baer were then read simul-
taneously in each tent.
LEANDEB WINS THE CUR,
Yale’s Conquerors Secure the Much Cov-
eted Trophy at Henley.
. HENLEY-ON-THAMES, July 10. —-The final
heat in the race for the Grand Challenge
cup between the Thames Rowing club
and the Leander Rowing club was won by
Leander.
A strong adverse breeze was blowing
over- the course, which slightly favored the
Bucks station. Leander had the Bucks
side and was a strong favorite. Leander
won by 8% lengths in 7:43.
Both boats got off at the same instant,
striking the water at a stroke of 40 to the
minute. Thames led after half a dozen
strokes, and then Leander drew up level.
At the end of the island Leander- led by
a third of a length, by two-thirds of a
length at the Rectory, and at the half mile
post was a clear length in the lead. Lean-
der kept in front and reached Frawley
Court in 3:35. Its lead was somewhat
shortened after passing Frawley Court,
but from the hmian to the finish Lean-
der drew rapidly away from the Thames
boat.
Colonel Willan, the starter Of the races,
invited Captain Treadway of the Yale
crew on board the umpirc's launch, from
which he witnessed the final Grand Chal-
lenge heat. -
The sixth heat of the Thames Challenge
cup was won by the crew of Emmanuel
college, Cambridge, which beat Trinity
Hall, Cambridge, by 2% lengths.
In the seventh heat for the Thames
Challenge cup the crew of the Societe
d’Encouragement du Sport Nautique of
Paris beat the Molesy Boat club by a
length and a quarter. It was a good race,
and the French crew was heartily cheered.
The Cuban Insurrection.
MADRID, July 10,—It is stated that the
government has been informed that the
Cuban insurgents are inceasing their ac-
tivity in accordance with instructions re-
ceived from their agents at Paris and in
New York.
A Small Town Fire Swept.
MOUNT GILEAD, 0., July lO.—-The town
of Marengo, 11 miles south of here. in
Morrow county, was almost completely
wiped out by fire. A high wind and the
lack of fire apparatus gave the flames full
sway.
