The Kopublioan county couvtiitiou

HiiYAN is young yet, nnd lias lriuch to

nx-PiKTHKT Attoiinky Hyan is a candl
late for (impress. His hticccas depends upon
Hie whim of .Tamos II. Kcllly.
Cn.s-mtiJWjAN llui'MM dci'lares it is "baby
politics" to declare his position on the cur
lincy question. As the majority of tlio lead
.ug HepubllcniH of the party aro opposed to
lin- reuoinlnatiuu unless he unequivocally
iinnouncos his tlrm adhesion to tlio Kcpub
hciiii position on the currency question, wo
presume thero bi a big lot of "baby" polltl
cuius in the county.
1 1 is evident that the free silver vote is to
) united. They aro only iltfTorltiK at St

.indidatos now, or with difl'eicnt candidates
!iideuptho clocturd by suites. In cither
i.i the vote will be united on election day

in it Democratic friends in this county aro
miii Ii distiiihod over tlio lliia.uci.il plank to
be mlyptcil nt tlio county eouventiun. They
iini.t repudiate either tl.o national or state
platform, and many aro of tlio belief that the
declaration of the convention will be in lino
villi the latter or a atraildlo. The Evening
( hioniclo, recognized as the irty organ, has
i nine out flat-footed against free silver, while
llu other Democratic papurb are lukewarm on
Unit qiiuttion. However, there is trouble
i In ad for tho Democracy, no matter what the
i latl'unu contains.
HOW WOULD IT AJTECT YOU ?
tine of tho ttauncliest Democratic jiapers
in the country, the Now York Hun, has re
pudiated the Democratic platfurm nnd nomi--
. and favors tli election of McKinlcy and
Jlolurt. fyoukiuic on tho financial question
n Mys the l'opulintli' silvcritos talk generally
'i I lie groat prullt there would bo to this
"in, try in tho adoption of their policy. But
b t i cry man stop to think of what tho eon-.-tqiicuco
would lie to him individually,
hither ho would loo or gain by tho sub--ntution
uf the silver btnndniil for tho gold
d.iudaril. That is the practical way to pnt
t In ir talk to a tost.
A ie you living on a salary or on wages?
Ili.u'isit going to holp you todecroaso the
Milue of tho dollar by nearly one-half?
" mi will have to pay double for everything
Mm buy. Tho same amount of money will
go only half as far as now. Ilenco you will
be i heated out of half your iucouio, unless
tbe silverltes can double your salary or
it ages. IXi you really expect any such in
sna.se? Has there Ism any precedent for a
Midden advanco in wages so enormous, and
w here and when was it ? Do you imagine for
a moment that if your Hilary is now $500 a
-c,ir, or your daily wages glvo you that
Yearly income, your employer is going to put
t heni up to l,0OU if llryau is elected and his
,il or policy established? In tho ceiurso of
years you might look forward to tho proba
bility of some increase, but at best, as all
expirieme) shows, it would belong delayed,
and it would bo much less than tlio advance,
in the pries) of livlug, which would be
immediate.
Your case is tho euro of all those who aro
in receipt of salaries or are paid wngos, and
tliey iucludo the grout majority of tho popu
lation. Aro those million of citizens going
to oto fur llryunnt w great a cost to their
pockets? It would be an expousivo voto for
i ery man who gave it.
llavo you laid by something in u havings
bank ' If so, you aro one of about flvo mil
lion such depositors ill the Uuitod States,
hast year their number was exactly 4,873,
Mil, and tlio total of their deposits was
$l,M0,507,OW, or an average to each depositor
d $371.38. That is great number of lioople,
anil tho iiggregato of their deposits is enor
mous. If Mr. Ilryan's plan of paying ou" in
silver standard money is adopted, thoy will
all lose nearly one-half of tho present value
of their deposits. Tho money la tho savings
banks w ill go only about ono half ub far as
now. It will bo pretty costly for it savings
bank depositor to voto for llryau you see. It
will be a big contribution of money in order
lo gratify his iiiuhltlou of becoming rrosident
We might go on thus through all businoss,
all trade, und every profession Wo might
make tho wuno inquiries of everybody whoso
life is insured or who is in a building or
benellt association, every man who has
money accumulated, and overy man who is
working for money In niiy occupation. Tho
iuestlou9 wo have askod could bo chuuxed In
detail su us to apply to tlicm all, and tlio
unsw'ore wotlld always toll tho samo story of
Joss. Tho actual money cent of tho olectiou
of Jirjun wuulil he heavy for every otic of
them
It Ii not ailuiinding, then, that Hrynn lms
the assurance hi ask the people to limkun
iicrillce so ureal Individually, und so enor-
inoiifi in Its aggrcgato to enable him to net
possession of the White House for the four
years from the Itli of noxt March ?
Think, then, of the ull'ect tlio sller policy
would have on yourself personally, and don't
wasto your time in listening to the general
promises and pretensions of Its advocates.
The true way to tost it is to dissipate the cloud
of boastful anil decultful rhetoric with which
llryau and hid fellow political speculators
seek to surround it. It offers a very simple
iiiestion for overy man to settle for himself
hy tlio application of common xcii') merely.
A profound knowledge nf finance is not
necessary to solve that proMem. If yuu know
enough to know tlio worth of a dullar you
are competent to decido the question for
yourself.

message about tho nomination of Uryan
und Sowall by It The reading was ro
lioatodly lnteirrupted by delegates In vari
ous parts of tho hull, who raised tho point
of ordor that tho regular order was tho
nominations for v! :o president Senator
Allen overruled these points of order.
Muny of tho planks of the silver party's
platform wcro enthusiastically received,
but when tho notion of tho silver conven
tion In uomltvitlng Drynn nnd Sownll was
roud It was Jeered by tho "middle of tho
road" contlngont, and oil tho motion of u
Texas dolegato tho proceedings of tho sil
ver convention were referred to tho corn
mlttoo on resolutions.
Nominations for vice president wore
then oallod for, und Colonel llowinan,
who wns taken off tho floor by tho ad
journment of tho convention In tho nftor
noein, again took the stage nnd placed In
nomination Congressman Harry Skinner,
of North Carolina. Congressman How
ard, of Alabama, placed Hon. Thomns E.
Watson In nomination. Ho said that In
ull respects Mr. Watson was the poor of
Mr. Hryan. Mr. Watson's nnmo was re
ceived with loud applause. Watson's nom
ination was seconded hy several other dele

Ho lost no tlmo In coming to tho point.
Immodlntoly ho t montlonod Mr. Sowoll's
namoltwiis greeted with loud npplnuso,
mingled with a liberal supply of hisses.
His speech took tho shnpoof an argument,
but his tono was defiant from tho begin
ning. Ho asserted thut ho had no personal
Interest in Sow-all's success. "Thovlco
presidency," ho said, "doosn't nmount to
much unloss tho prosldont Is a consump
tive, and Dllly Bryan is not a consump
tive." Personally ho would prefer Skinner
or Watson, but ho wanted to succeed In
defeating McKlnlcy.
The Domocrntlo managers consultod
after It became evident thut Sownll could
nut lio nominated, and Mr. Ilryan was
communicated with by tologrnph. Thoy
decided that Mr. Hrynn could not bo dis
loyal to his running mate, and wortl was
sent to tho loading JJrynn manngors In tho
convention that tho silver knight of tlio
wost would not accept a nomination un
loss Sowall was nlso nominated.
Kor live hours last night tho convention
listened to nominating speeches in pro

Tennessee, Uurkltt of Mississippi and
Mnnn l'ogo of Virginia woro nominated.
About 11 o'clock tho Hrynn men decided

lug tho silver forces. Hut tho nntl-Sewnll
crowd wcro In tho saddlo. They howled
down tho vonorablo senator, and after a
hurried consultation tho loaders decided
not to permit tho announcement to bo
mudo at that time.
At midnight many delegates still wanted
to talk, but tho majority wanted a ballot,
and It was proceeded with amid intense
excitement While tho ballot was being
taken It was privately nnnouncoil that
Senator Jones hael received nn important
telogrnm from William J. Bryan. Tho
substanco of tho telegram from Sonator
Jones to Mr. Bryan stated that tho con
vention hnd determined to namo tho vice
prosldont llrst, aud asking whut ho would
elo In case Sowall was not iinmeil. Tho re
ply stated that under no circumstancos
could ho accept a nomination If Sowall
was not nlso named.
As tho balloting for vlco president pro
ceeded It was si'on that Watson wnsn pro
nounced favorite, nnd Minims und Skin

noarly 2 o'clock this morning when tho
