But tho gold standard Democracy, In a minority and caught napping, waked to a vigorous resistance Of tho 1,747 delegates tho silver mon, nt llrst complacent in a two-thirds majority , found tho minority so vigorous that they determined to uso thoir power mercilessly, and tho only advantages claimed by tho goia men nt tho opening of tho convention woro,duo to circumstances which tho silver men overlooked or could not control.

MURDER IN FIRST DEGREE THE JURY IN THE EISENHOWER TRIAL GIVE THAT AS THEIR VERDICT. A MOTION FOR A NEW TRIAL MADE. If a New Trial is Refused Mr. Erumm will Carry the Caso to the Supremo Court. The Prisoner was Unmoved by the Verdict. Special to Evesixo IlniiAl.n. Pottsville, Juno 25. Tho jury in tho Eisenhower murder trial, in which the prisoner is charged with tho murder of John Schwindt, retired this morning at 11:11 o'clock, and at 1:15 sent word that they had arrived at a verdict. Promptly nt 2:00 o'clock tho jurors filed into tho courtroom, handed in a sealed verdict. Judgo Savidgo arrived at tho court house and assumed his plnco upon tho bench at 2:07, and wns handed tho envelopo containing tho fato of Eisen hower. Amid a breathless silenco tho Judge broko tho seal and read the contents, and then ad drcs"cd tho jury as follows : "Gentlemen you will bo obliged to fay whether the prisoner is guilty of murder in tho first degree, or murder in tho second degree, or voluntary manslaughter. You may retlro and mako up your verdict." It is supposed tho sealed verdict was guilty ns indicted. Tho jury then retired for further consul tation returning again at 2:10, and their verdict was announced as "Guilty of murder in tho first degree" Mr. Ilrumm, counsel for tho prHonor, then asked that tho jury bo polled, and each juror responded to tho verdict. Mr. Ilrumm then moved an arrest of judg ment, pending a motion for a new trial. In caso tho motion for a new trial is denied, the caso will bo carried to tho Supremo Couit. Elsenhower, tho prisoner, was unmoved lly tho verdict, ami carried tho same dogged expression that lias characterised him during tho closing days of the trial. THE CI.OSIXO AIKIUMEXT. It would bo difficult todescribo the mingled disappointment nnd surprise of tho many spectators who attended tho Elsouhowor trial yesterday afternoon when it was decided that the long drawn out cne would bo extended for ono day mora by an adjournment until this morning to lane the Judge's charge to the jury dellvored. Hit Honor, Judge Savidge, was not responsible for the delay, however. He wns ready ami willing to pro ceed when Mr. Whalen closed his argument at 5:30, but deemed it, pioper to consult tho jury as to whether they dvslied to undertake to settle-the case lust night, or start in upon their work this morning. Eleven of tho jury were willing to proceed, but tho twelfth, Levi Kissinger, who hud sutrered from ill ness almost from tho first day, said he would prefer to wait until tho morning, and the court acceded to his wishes. Tho watching public had confidently expected that the caw would go to tho jury, ami it would have been submitted to them had tho original program as to tho summing up been adhered to. Public opinion leans to tho conclusion that the final arguments in tho case were extended more than the circumstances warranted, and it is surprising that when tho last argument was concluded all tho jurors did not clamor for a rest. In point of brilliancy neither counsel carno up to tho expeeteil point, but that both sides fought overy inoh of tho grouud oniuiot be disputed. At times It be came almost convincing that tho hqttlo was not so much between the Commonwealth and Theodore Eisenhower as it. was between Bruuiui and Whalen. Tho' former spent much time iu criticising tho District Attorney and his associate counsel in tho case and Mr Whalen spout the best part of tho first hour of his address in justifying himself and the District Attorney and cliargiug Mr. Ilrumm with trying to befog the Jury. Ikith sides evidently indulged in this to gain an adant age before the Jury, but it is safe to say tliat neither succeed oil, for the actions of several jurymen during these stages of the arguments indicated that they were anxious to hear something of a more substantial character. Mr. Ilrumni's address occupied SJ hours, or a half hour more than lie consumed in sum ming up the famous and successful fight he made in behalf of John llriggs a little over two years ago. Mr. Whalen announced tliat he would take up from 3, to 81 hours, but be consumed 3 hours and 15 minutes ami brought tho session to the regular closing hour of 5i0. Of the two, Mr. Ilrumm made the best omturloal aud dramatic display, hut Mr. Whalen has a peculiar conversational manner In nddreMjng the jury tliat fully makes up for his dofieieiioy hi wing wools and Im pressive itridas, and the result was that when lxith lawyers had concluded there were few In the court room willing to venture an opinion as to tho probable outcome of thecose before hearing the Judge's charge. Mr, Whalen spent considerable timo in urging the jury to boware of tho befogging whlflli ho claimed Mr, Driimui had indulged In. He declared that the claim tliat the doetors had killed John Schwindt In per forming the operation was a subterfuge to draw tho attention of the jury from the real issue, "just like the stool pigeons who run away from the place where the shell game la lielngiilayed to attract attention from the real oSeiider, so they are trying to iuduce into this case evidence from Doctor Ilulber stadt about something thai be knows nothiug about to draw your minds sway lumi tin real question.
