While the convention was proceeding with its work, a dramatic scene was being enacted in the committee on resolutions. The group of Western sliver men, headed by Seaator Teter, of Colorado, announced to their cole leagues, when the plank in the platform was agreed upon by a vote of 40 to 11, that they bad reached the parting of the ways, and that nothing remained for them but to with- draw from the convention. It was thought that there would be vio. 1 nt reeriminations and wild words of denun- ciation when the flaal announcement of the break came, but, iostead, it was the parting of old friends in sorrow, not in anger, The silver men felt themselves swept on by an irresistable fate, and with protestations of regret they east the die, Bpeeches were made by Senator Teller, who joined the Re- publican party at its inception, and who was an ardent supporter of Lincoln, and who for twenty years has represented his Btate in the Senate of the United States as a Republican, save for two years in the cabinet of Presi. dent Arthur. When the silver delegates walk out of the convention it is thelr purpose to hold a meeting of their own, st which they will probably place Senator Teller in the fold as a candidate for the presidency on a free sil ver platform. A number of Populist leaders, including Chairman Taaveseck and Hon. T. M. Patterson, of Denver, are in the city, and it is understood that they will endorse the selection on behalf of that party ina publis address. The oaly obstacle standing in the way of this course is the fact that Senator Telier bas not yet given his assent. Story of the Third Day. Immediately on the meeting of the con- vention Ex-Gov.
