SECOND SESSION.
The Klglit Over the Credentials
Committee Report Begins.
Chicago, July B.—The convention re-as
si mhled at 5:15 o'clock w ith a full attend
ance of delegates and with crowded
galleries. Senator Daniel of Virginia was
in the chair as temporary chairman.
The section assigned to the New York
delegation was, however, an exception to
the general rule, very few of the members
of that delegation being present. Senator
Hill, ex-Gov. Flower and Mr. Whitney
were conspicuously absent. Perry Bel
mont hovered around as If he had no
particular liking for his surroundings.
There appeared to be no business ready
for presentation, and the band had to fill
up the time, which it did, to the general
enjoyment and satisfaction of the crowd.
At 5:30 o’clock an order went forth
through the sergeant-at-arms that the
cummitlee on permanent organization
v.. mill meet in Its room immediately.
At 5:40 o’clock Senator Hill, followed
by many members of the New York dele
gation, came into the hall, and was im
m-iiiately recognized and greeted with
cheers and shouts of ‘'Hill” “Hill.”
No notice of this demonstration was
taken by him, but he and his companions
quietly took their seats.
In an aisle, in close proximity to the
M'-'v York section, there was at this time
a Kioup of distinguished politicians in an
apparently earnest and anxious colloquy.
That group consisted of Senators Harris,
' '-s mil Tillman and Gov. Stone of
Missouri.
A: *•:50 o'clock the committee on cre
el' I ’ills presented its completed report,
'• Induing to seats the contesting dele-
n l "' from the Fourth and Ninth eongres
■''"'.'il districts of Michigan and recog
nizing the right to their seats of all the
ether delegates from Michigan.
The effect is to transform the delega
tion to a silver delegation by 15 to 13, and
a- ihe unit rule prevails it gives Michi
gan a solid silver vote of twenty-eight
;n 'he convention, and creates a two
thirds silver majority.
A minority report was presented, in
ft.or of allowing the delegation to re
main ns it was on the temporary roll.
Debate on the reports was at once be
gun.
Mr. Brennan of Wisconsin advocated
to adoption of the minority report, and
r 'l l he feared the effect of the adoption
0. the majority report upon the country.
lO' entered Into detail of the facts involv
' i by the contest, and said the re-
T" rt in this case. 1f adopted, would es
tiiblisn the fact that a majority in the
rust flush of success might go into a sov
ereign state and upset the action of a
•nl convention. (Cheers.) He charged
' lit the contest originated only three
tour weeks ago, when certain facts
■ irne apparent as to the majority in
' invention. He had since become ac
quainted with that majority, and he ap
i>*.uc,i with confidence to their sense of
Justice and fairness. (Loud cheers.)
Mr. Taylor of Arkansas, a member of
, * committee on credentials, argued in
1 .vor of the majority report.
Uov. McLaurin of Mississippi, another
member of the committee on credentials,
>,l ' # a 'history of the selection of the dele
gates in Michigan, asserting that there

doctrine 1s to stand by precedents and to ■
seat the delegates who held the only cre
dentials that have been issued from those !
districta.”
Ex-Lieut-Gov. Sheehan, a member of i
the national committee, made a statement
to prove the impartiality of that commit- !
tee in its action on the various contested j
election cases, and argued in opposition ;
to the majority report of the committee
on credentials.
Mr. Sheehan referred to the fact that a |
poll of the Michigan delegation as it ori
ginally stood showed fifteen for gold and
thirteen for silver, and he disclosed the
secrets of the committee room by say
ing that at first the majority of the com
mittee favored unsealing all four of the
delegates at large. But the wiser coun
sels prevailed and the delegates at large
were retained. But the district delegates
had been unseated and what was the
purpose? To make the delegation fifteen
sliver to thirteen gold and thus open the
way to the overthrow of the time-honored
doetrines of the two-thirds rule.
Mr. Blake of Texas, a member of the
committee on credentials, argued in favor
of the majority report. He said that on
principle he was opposed to going behind
the returns, but In this case, the evidence
was abundant that the state convention
had been manipulated in the gold interest
and the will of the people slighted. In
his judgment the whole infernal delega
tion from Michigan ought to be turned
out. (Cheers). He believed that the four
delegates at large were not entitled to
seats, but in the spirit of compromise
he did not wish to go so far. “If we,"
he said, “cannot nominate our man for
President on a silver platform by votes
that are honest and fair, 1 do not want
him nominated. (Cheers.) I do not ex
pect to cast my vote to rob a state of the
union of any vote to which it Is Justly
entitled. The committee on credentials
acted justly in reporting in favor of ad
mitting the contestants from the Fourth
and Ninth districts. You understand the
question. Vote for the majority report,
and you will do what Is right.” (Ap
plause.)
Mr. MoKnight of Michigan, also a mem
ber of the committee on credentials, asked
the support not only of the silver men,
but of the entire convention in support
of the report of the majority. The gen
tlemen of the convention, he said, had
given this case careful consideration, and
they were here to testify to some, and
only some, of the outrages perpetrated
on the democrats of Michigan. He as
serted that the state of Michigan elected
a majority of 200 to their convention In
favor of silver, and when the administra
tion in Washington found this out, Mr.
Stevenson was sent to Washington to up
set the will of the people.
“There is not ene word of truth in all
that,” said Mr. Richardson from his seat.
As Mr. MoKnight proceeded further
with his statement of alleged facts, Mr.
Weadock, one of the delegates-at-large,
seated in the front row, immediately fac
ing the speaker, said in an audible voice:
“That's a lie.” No notice was taken of
this interruption.
Mr. McKnight closed by saying that if
the majority report were adopted the
democrats would carry Michigan by at
least 25,000 majority.
Mr. Brucker of Michigan declared that
he had always been a free silver man,
and that there were enough silver dele
gates In the convention to nominate a
president by a two-thirds’ majority with
out the necessity of committing highway
robbery. (Applause and laughter).
C. S. Thomas of Colorado, a member of
the national committee, next took the
stand, but the audience was becoming im
patient, and raised loud cries of "vote.”
He held that tt would be a mistake to
elect a democratic president by overturn
ing the expressed will of a sovereign state.
He warned them that they could not af
ford to strike down the state of Michi
gan simply for the purpose of obtaining a
two-thirds’ majority.
Mr. Powers of Utah, a member of the
committee on credentials, argued In sup
port of the majority report.
State Senator Thomas F. Grady of New
York spoke against the majority re
port.
The discussion was closed by two more
speeches, one by Mr. Weadock of Michi
gan and the other by Mr. O'Donnell of
Colorado. Little or no attention, how
ever, was paid to these speeches, as the
crowd In the galleries was quite turbulent
and could not be kept in order. The con
vention itself, as well as the spectators
In the galleries, was In a hurry to come
to a vote and Mr. O'Donnell assisted that
view by moving the previous question
on the report. The previous question was
seconded.
The vote was then taken on the minority
substitute of the credentials committee
which retained the sitting (gold) men
from the Fourth and Fifth Michigan
districts In their seats.
When New York's 72 votes were an
nounced aye. In favor of the minority
report, a tumultuous wave of cheering
broke over the assembly. The first efforts
of the chairman to repress the manifesta
tion by the use of his gavel were met
by a*counter demonstration on the part
of the gold delegate.*, who. rising and
turning their backs to the chair and their
faces to the Immense crowds in the gal
leries, waved hats and handkerchiefs and
stood on their chairs and gesticulated.
The galleries, evidently strongly anti-sil
ver in sentiment, were not slow to respond
and an unearthly sound from fifteen thous
and throats filled even the vast space
of the great hall. The Tammany yell
was plainly heard In every temporary
lull. The band tried In vain to compete
with the babel of noise. Every rap of the
chairman’s gavel also seemed to start it
again as it began to quiet down. Shouts
for Senator Hill, Yodel calls and shrill
whistles added to the confusion.
Then the silver men began to hiss and
stamp their feet, and this made matters
infinitely worse.
Senator Daniel's powerful voice, much
worn with Its service yesterday, called
the next state. “North Carolina.”
“North Carolina declines to vote till
she can be heard,” replied the chairman
of the delegation.
State Chairman Hinckley of New York,
ex-Mayor Hugh Grant' and other promi
nent New Yorkers vainly tried to stop
the demonstration. It went on uninter
rupted for fifteen minutes, and was bare
ly silenced when the roll call was re
sumed. ,
When Pennsylvania was reached and
Chairman Harrlty, mounting on a chair,
said: “Pennsylvania casts her, sixty-four
votes aye,” an attempt was made to re
new the demonstration, but it died away
in a few seconds, the spectators and dele
gates being almost tired out.
The vote resulted in the rejection of the
minority report—yeas. 338; nays, 558; ab
sent, 4. The “noes” have it. said the
chairman, “and the amendment is lost."
It was now the silver men’s turn and
they yelled and waved hats and handker
chiefs and displayed Bland pictures and
made the night hideous for nearly as long
as the gold men, the galleries impartially
assisting.
During the Jubilation by the silver men
two stout Kentucky delegates danced a
break-down In the aisle at the rear of the
delegates section, several others "patting
time," as the southern phrase Is, amid
the wildest laughter.
The official detailed vote by states was
as follows:

The chairman put the question on the
majority report of the committee on cre
dentials and declared It adopted.
The report of the committee on per
manent organization was then presented
by Mr. Finley of Ohio naming Senator
White of California as permanent presi
dent of t.ie convention, and Thomas J.
Cogan of Ohio as permanent secretary.
A question was put to Mr. Finley as to
whether the state of Michigan had a rep
resentative on the national committee,
as reported, and it was answered in the
affirmative. An amendment to the re
port was offered in relation to the appoint
ment of delegates from Nebraska to the
several committee (substituting other
names) and the amendment was agreed to.
A motion was made to refer back to the
committee that jsmlon of the report re
lating to the committeemen from Michi
gan and it was agreed to. With those ex
ceptions the report was adopted.
A committee of three was then appoint
ed to escort Senator White, the perma
nent chairman, to the chair, the commit
tee consisting of Mr. Finley of Ohio, Mr.
McConnell of Illinois and Senator Vest
of Missouri.
Senator Daniel, In retiring from the
temporary chairmanship, expressed his
deep sense of the honor which he onjoy.-ii
and introduced Mr. White as “the dis
tinguished senator from California.”
(Cheers.)
Senator White on taking the chair spoke
of the convention as an assemblage of
men from every state and territory In
the union, and said that he was prepared
to extend full, equal and absolute and
Impartial treatment to all. Every ques
tion before the convention should he, he
said, considered carefully and deliberate
ly. and when the voice of the convention
was crystallized into a judgment, that
Judgment should he binding on all true
democrats. (Cheers).
"We differ, perhaps,” he continued, "on
vital Issues. We meet In friendly contest,
presenting what seems to us proper and
right. We submit our views to the can
did Judgment of our brethren and on that
Judgment we will certainly rely. We find
in life numerous instances of hopes unre
alized. Men of prominence pass away,
some to oblivion; others because they are
summoned to another shore. But the
democratic party will not die. even when
we all have ceased to live. (Cheers). When
the differences that challenge considera
tion to-day have passed Into history, the
democratic party—the guardian of the
people’s right—will endure to bless man
kind. (Applause). My ambitions and
yours aie but for a moment. Whether I
succeed, or whether you succeed In Im
pressing my views or your views, on the
convention, seems now of supreme' Impor
tance, but will not seem so in the future
In this council chamber the democratic
party looks for the vindication of its exis
tence. The people look to us here for the
righting of their wrongs and for the de
fense of the constitution—the great bul
wark of our liberties. We are here to
night, Its best, its truest and Its most loy
al defenders. (Cheers.)
"There is no sectionalism here—none
whatever. Equal and impartial Justice to
all this land, the triumph of the people
as exemplified and expressed in democracy
is that object for whloh we have assem
bled and to carry out this object I will
consecrate my best exertions." (Loud ap
plause.)
Mr. Clark of Montana, rising In the body
of the hall, produced a silver gavel from
the mines of Montana, which he tendered
the presiding officer in the name of t>he
delegation from that state.
The chairman remarked that in the ab
sence of objection he would feel compelled
to accept this handsome token from the
Montana delegation.
No objection being heard, the silver gav
el was passed up to the chairman.
Senator Jones of Arkansas, chairman of
the committee on resolutions, announced
that the committee on platform and reso
lutions would meet to-morrow morning at
9:30 o'clock. This was taken by the wild
and excited audience as an indication of
Immediate adjournment and for the sec
ond time In the course of the dav an In
cipient panic partially developed. The peo
ple in the galleries began to move out
with a rush and a corresponding move
ment was started on the floor. The means
of exit from the building are so utterly
insufficient that trouble might have fol
lowed but that the sergeant-at-arms rais
ing his big voice, commanded his deputies
to ‘‘stop those men.”
When some degree of order had been
thus restored, a motion to adjourn till 10
o’clock to-morrow morning was put at
9:38 o'clock, was declared carried and the
second day’s convention ended.
TILLMAN’S TWADDLE.
The Senator to Present a Denuncia
tion of Cleveland.
Chicago, July B.—When the report of the
committee on resolutions is made to the
convention to-morrow a minority report
will be also presented Indorsing the finan
cial policy of the Cleveland administration
to which Senator Tillman of South Caro
lina will offer an amendment and address
the convention upon It £pr fifty minutes.
Senator Tillman’s amendment Is In these
words: “We denounce the administration
of President Cleveland as un-democratic
and tyrannical, and as a departure from
those principles which are cherished by all
liberty loving Americans.
"The veto power has been used to thwart
the will of the people as expressed by their
representatives in congress.
“The appointive power has been used to
subsidize the press, to debauch congress
and to overawe and control citizens In the
free exercise of their constitutional rights
as voters.
“A plutocratic despotism is thus sought
to be established on the ruins of the re
public.
“We repudiate the construction placed
on the financial plank of the last national
democratic platform by President Cleve
land, and Secretary Carlisle as contrary
to the plain meaning of the English words,
and as being an act of bad faith and de
serving the severest censure.
“The issue of bonds in a time of peace
with which to buy gold to redeem coin ob
ligations payable in silver or gold at the
option of the government and the use of
the proceeds to defray the ordipary ex
penses of the government are both unlaw
ful and usurpations of authority deserv
ing Impeachment.”
NEGROES AND THE COINAGE.
V Conference at Chicago to Discnsn
the Money Issue.
Chicago, 111., July B.—A call has been Is
sued for a conference of Colorado men to
be held this evening to discuss the ques,
tlon whether or not the Interests of the
colored people would be better subserved
by the coinage of silver at a ratio of 16 to
1. All colored men regardless of party af
filiations have been requested to be present
and participated in the deliberations of the
conference.
Walthall Not a Candidate.
Chicago. July B.—The Mississippi delega
tion has decided not to present the name
of Senator Walthall as a candidate for
vice president, taking this action at the
senator’s request.
Treasnry Gold Ileserve.
Washington. July B.—Gold to the amount

is delirious with the soft w., i> of the
west, which have disarmed '.anight of
the future, and the southern delegates

silver goddess of the west, r - ed head
long in the fight for a preee a; that in
the natural course of things *al sooner
or later be turned against th. m to their
discomfort or ruin. The past - aid have
taught them to beware of the ;:,rk from
the west with his present. 1 it instead,
tn the excitement of conscious power,
they opened the gates to a T nan horse.
The western Greeks gave the .-oath taffy
in naming a southerner for she scant
honor of temporary chairman and allow
ing a southerner by birth to make the
opening prayer. The bands ive played
"Dixie” almost continue! ~ . wrnie
"Yankee Doodle" has been ridiculously re
pressed until the end is finally accom
plished. The orders have ne n to do
everything to Jolly the south. But after
It is all over the self-interested west will
soon forget its southern tool, and it is
only the part of human nature to
predict that when the oportunity arrives
those who have worked upon ilie emo
tional nature of the south to f irther the
grand scheme of repudiation will not hes
itate to apply the same outrage to that
section that the south helped to infiict
upon Michigan to-day.
The scene In the convention hall that
witnessed the Michigan steal was one that
few men see repealed In a time. It
was a momentous occasion. For hours
the vast assembly, every one >f whom
felt that it was a time of supremo impor
tance to one of the most suer, 1 princi
ples of a free people, had l:>:oned with
deepest attention to the lmpa-sUmed pro
tests of the men who championed the
cause of state sovereignty in party poli
ties. These protests were not uclied in
the perfunotory words of the scheming
an l time serving politician, bn: they came
straight from the true hearts of those
who delivered them, and stirr- ! the blood
like the words of the partiot- of old. Fif
teen thousand bosoms swelled with the
enkindled fire of patriotism, and when
the outburst came. It was Ilk the bursting
of a mighty tempest. In war after wave
it rolled from side to side of the vast
building, dying down now for a moment,
only to be renewed again with renewed
volume, and only subsiding under the
united efforts of the convention officials,
when the multitude had to surrender to
exhaustion. Accompanying the outburst
from the galleries, for the silver men on
the floor stood stolid and silent through
out It ai*. except for their feeble and over
awed efforts to hush the tumult, was a
sea of fluttering handkerchiefs, papers,
umbrellas and all manner of things that
could add to the intensity of the demon
stration.
Such a repudiation of the n 'kless abro
gation of precedent and trampling under
foot of justice has never before been wit
nessed in the history of political parties
in this Country. There hav ■ been spllt3
and bolts in conventions before, and con
ventions have gone delirious with Joy over
their heroes and plumed knights, but never
has such an overwhelming rebuke been
administered to one by the people who
looked down upon Its work from the gal
leries. It was fifteen minutes before the
cheering for the cause of cheated Michi
gan began to fade out, and the excited
thousands fell back Into their chairs from
exhaustion. When the Michigan theft had
been completed, the silver delegates who
had done it, rose In their seats and sent
back a triumphant shout ol defiance to
the galleries, but, unless the prophets fall,
that shout will be a mockery in their eats
In the coming days of the party's ca
reer. E. M. D.
COMMITTEE O.Y CREDENTIALS.
How the Silverlte Majority Was Fnd
detl by the Ousting Process.
Chicago. 111., July B.—The committee on
credentials did not adjourn until 4 o’clock
this morning. The South Dakota contest
was decided In favor Of the sitting delegae
tlon. Though notide was glvein of a contes|t
in Nevada, when that state was called n6
contestants appearing, the sitting delega
tion was awarded the seats.
Just before adjournment a motion was en
tered to re-conslder the Michigan case with
a view to referring it to a sub-committee
for further examination and report. The
committee adjourne.d to meet at the con
vention hall at 10 o’clock.
The results accomplished by the commit
tee previous to its action in the South
Dakota case were as follows: It unseated
the four delegates-at-large and four dis
trict delegates In Michigan, all gold men,
thus converting the gold majority in that
delegation Into a silver majority and un
der the unit rule, making the entire 28
votes of Michigan solid for silver Instead
of gold.
It unseated the Nebraska gold men and
seated the Bryan silver delegates. These
changes, if ratified by the convention, sh
there was no doubt they would be, It is un
derstood. would give the silver men the
requisite two-thirds vote.
NEW YORK’S THREATENED BOLT.
The Course of the Delegation Not
Decided Yet.
Chicago, July B.—The New York delega r
tlon held a conference this morning to
consider the situation In the light of yes
terday’s developments and agree on a
plan of action. Thet decision reached
was to remain in the convention for the
present and abide by the will of the ma
jority, so far as to-day's proceedings were
concerned at least. Tammany will also
support the nominee. There was almost
a full attendance.
What the delegation will do to-morrow
or the next day If the convention lasts
that long, is another question.
The candidate question was not con
sidered. In view of Ss l fact that the plat
form had not yet been adopted and in the
absence of Senator Hill, definite action
as to remaining in the convention when
candidates were being voted for was de
ferred until this evening. It was said to
be the sense of those present, howeven
that New York should leave the hall and
take no further part in the convention
after the free silver platform is adopted.
Ex-Secretary Whitney addressed the
meeting and said that while he did not
ask the gentlemen present to adopt hi*
ideas, he believed the nest course to pur
sue was to act as delegates until the plat
form was adopted. He advised against

would be best for the interests of the
gold men to remain in their seats in the
convention hall, but to take no part in
the proceedings. The question, he said,
had been carefully considered by promi
nent gold members of the party and they
all agreed that this was the best course
to adopt. He had talked with Senator
Hill on this question, he said, afld the
senator had expressed himself In- favor
of it.
SENATOR HILL AND SILA’ER.
.• #*•
A Letter Which He Wrote In 1893
Trotted Out Again.
Chicago, July B.—The following letter
written by United States Senator Hill to
the Atlanta Constitution on July 13, 1893,
on the issue for the campaign of 1896, Is
being quietly circulated and may be read
In the convention:
“As to the repeal of the Sherman law
I have always been opposed to it. It
should be abandoned by general consent.
My views were partly expressed in my
recent Tammany letter, which you have
undoubtedly seen. Personally, I should
prefer not to repeal ihe law until an ac
ceptable substitute was provided in or
der to rentier more probable the adoption
of such substitute, and not because I ap
prove at all of the Sherman s.,ver law.
But from a party point of view the wisest
course is unconditional repeal. The coun
try expects and will he found fairly well
united In favor of It. Therefore. It is
unwise, while agreeing upon the general
proposition, to waste our time In agree
ing upon a substitute pending the repeal.
Let the repeal be made at once and let us
Y, JULY 9, 1890.
differ as to other financial matters after
ward.
"1 am In favor of bimetallism as the
issue of the future. We should seek to
keep that issue to the front; we should
not strive for temporary success* or com
promise. We should lie for free coinage
under an International agreement, if it
lie possible to procure one. and for which
every exertion should be made, an l. If not
pos:bie, then for independent bimetal
lism. This is the one great goal for which
we should strive. It cannot be done at
once. Our friends must not be innwttenl.
The people must b.- educated. The unex
pected action of Indiana and the general
sentiment of the monied classes
conspire against us at this time.
I do not believe in the Itland hill or
any other measure which guarantee's
anything less than an unrestricted coin
age for gohl and silver alike, as pledged
in the democratic national platform. le-t
us prepare not for present victory, hut
for victory upon that Issue In 896. The
repeal of the Sherman law wdll not give'
the relief which is anticipated. It will
anl business temporarily, but In a year
times will be hard and ihe demand for
permanent financial relief will be irre
sistible. We should continue to hold out
free coinage a-s the goal which the coun
try must ultimately r.-ach. The triumph
of the monometallists would be but tem
porary.”

Madrid, July 9. —In the Chamber of Dep

replying to a criticism of the govern

leader of the dissident conservatives, de
clared that the real aim of the Cuban
revolution was the independence of the
Island and not autonomy. Spain, he said,
would know how to overcome all the ob

the element necessary to maintain her In
dependence, and if separated from Spain
would fall a prey to another nation.
The chamber rejected the Carltst amend

ed upon Gen. Bradley T. Johnson, who, it
was reported, was to fight a duel with
Manuel Ampodla, an ex-captaln In thb

the following special: “Havana, July 7.
I have no intention of fighting a duel with
any one to-morrow or at any other time.
