A SILVER GAVEL. Mr.

Clark, rising in the body of the hall, produced a silver gavel from the mines of Montana, which he ten dered to the presiding olfloer in the name of the delegation from that state. The chairman remarked that in the afoaence of objection he would feel compelled to accept this handsome token from the Montana delegation. No objection being heard, the silver gavel was passed up to the chairman. Senator Jones of Arkansas, chairman of the committee on resolutions, announced that the committee on platform and resolutions would meet tomorrow morning at 9:30 o'clock. This was taken by the heated and excited audi enoe as an indication oft an immediate adjournment and for the second time in theeouree of the day an incipient panic was partly developed.

People in the galleries began to move out with a rush and a corresponding movement was started on the floor.

This is the one great goal for which we should strive.

I do not believe in tfhe Bland bill or eny other measure which uara.nte.is anything less than an unrestricted oolinage for gold and silver.

To that Senator Tillman of South Carolina will offer an amendment and will address the convention upon it for fifty minutes. Senator Tillman's amendment Is in these words: "We denounce the administration of President Cleveland as undemocratic and ironical, and as a departure from those principles which are cherished by all liberty loving Americans. The veto power has 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 a3 voters. A plutocratic despotism is thus sought to be established on the ruins ot the republic. We repudiate the construction placed on the financial plank of the last Democratic national plat lorm Dy irTesioent Cleveland and Sec retary Carlisle as contrary to the plain meaning of English words, and as being an act of bad faith, deserving the severest censure. The Issue of bonds in time of peace with which to buy gold to redeem coin obligations payable in snver or gold at the option of the trnv ernment and the use of the proceeds to defray the ordinary expenses of the government are both unlawful and usurpations or authority deserving impeachment."
