In their name and in their behalf, to present to tui convention thiB gavel, made not of silver alone, but of silver and gold- the bimetallio basis of our sound National currencytho boon given by the Republican party to the people of this country. The material dug from the bowels of theearth and stuclded with preoious stones, wrought wlth labor, teach a lesson which the Republican party has by its legislation taught- free homes, free schools, and a free ballot- and not only this, but that free labor shall have its just reward, as it is the foundation of all wealth and National prosperity." Delégate Wirtz, of Illinois, then handed another gavel to the chairman, and said: "It is neither silver nor old, but it is made of wood from a piece oí a desk írom a tannery in lena, which desk was left by that superbly raagnificent silent soldier of America, Ulysses S.

It is boldly charged that the Democratie Administraron and the present Democratie majority la Congreís owe theií existenoe to the suppression of fair ballet and to a criminal nulliflcation of the constitutlon and laws of the United States. The tarifl plank takes direct issue with the platform adopted by the St. Louis convention. It declares for the preservation of the American system of protection, condemns the policy } Cleveland, denounces the Mills bilí, and applauds the oourse of the Eepublican minority in Qongress in opposing that measure. The platiorm afflrms that all needed reduction of the surplus in the Treasury can be made by repealinB interaal revenue- whisky- taxes. Whilethe Mmocratic policy is to take the tax oSt th e tneaper kinds of tobáceo and retain it on clgar, the Kepublican platform declares for Oe entire repeal of the tax on tobáceo and on jnrlts used in the arts and for mechanical purye.

It is deelarefl the duty of Congress to malte it imposttle that any honorabiy-discharged soldier sfiould ever become the inmate of an almsapüse, and the hostile spirit shown by President Cleveland in hls numerous vetoes of measures for pension relief, and the action of the Democratie House oí Representatives in refusing even a oonsideration of general pension legislatlon, are denounced. The Adminlstration is charged with ineffloiency and cowardice in its foreifrn policy nd with a Virtual abandontnent of the Monrpe doctrine while passlvely permitting the exttoíion oí foreign influence and trade in Cenl and South America. The refusal of the Aüministraton to encourage any American Bcneme for the construction of tbe Nicaragua CWW is denounced.

Upon reassembling in the evening Chauncey M. Depew stepped to the platform and announced hls wlthdrawal as a candidate, in the Interest of harmony. At the conclusión of Mr. Depew's remarles the couventlon was in a squirm of excitement.
