St. Louis, Ma, June 17.—Over four
J hours before the Republican national
m convention was called to order about
tpf noon to-day, thousands of people
(fathered about the great convention
(tali at Clarke avenue and Twelfth
*i''r street. Hundreds of policemen were
v on duty, while inside the officials
were finishing their work.
At 10 o'clock the band of forty
pieces took its place in the gallery
above the speaker's stand and at 10:22
o'clock struck up a rousing air.
Soon afterward the spectators be-
gan to stream through the entrances
which opened into the lower galLry.
Hundreds of assistant sergeants-at-
arms and ushers were scattered about
the hall and galleries.
Just before 11 o'clock the thunder of
arriving clubs outside the hall was
heard and the Alabama delegation,
the first on the scene, appeared at the
ami ot their breacn with President
Garfield, belonged the distinction of
receiving the first marked demonstra-
tion of the convention. A* he walked
down to take his place with the New
York delegation he was recognized
and cheered by the delegates, and
there was a considerable echo from
the gallerlea. He moved around into
the center alale next to the Ohio dele-
gation and the Ohio men joined in the
cheering.
Ohio's big four. Hanna, Foraker,
Ruahnell and Urotvenor, occupied the
(our corner seats right in front of the
speaker's stand.
Senator Quay waa also received with
cheers by his enthusiastic followers
in the Pennsylvania delegation as ho
took his place.

The bands of the clock were at 13:20
when Chairman Carter of Montana,
unwalstcoated, and with a sea of shirt
botom, stepped forward from tho
chair which had been occupied by
Senator Quay until he culled the Min-
neapolis convention to order four
years«go, and the gavel with which
he gave three sharp raps whs inaile
from a piece qf oak in the first legis-
lative hall in the State of Missouri.
Then he exhorted tho supernumera-
ries who crowded the aisles between
delegates' seats, to "pieasn retire."
These men failed to hear liiin, but his
injunction was rapidly carried into
effect bv badged officials, who swept
down the aisles with more vigor than
ceremony.
A murmur of curiosity began at the
foot ot the platform, SW 'pL across tho
floor and flowed on and up to the ends
of the highest galleries.
Then there was an interval of com-
parative quiet, while Mr. Carter made
some direction about the seats ami
then announced the prayer by Itabbi
Sale. The thousands struggled to
their feet when they caught the sig-
nificance of the Kabbi's outstretched
hands, and stood with bowed heads.

As the invocation ceased a faint ap-
plause rippled over the vast audience,
which was promptly checked by Chair-
man Carter, who, after considerable
effort with his gavel, managed to se-
cure a semblance of order. He then
formally announced that the conven-
tion met in pursuance of the call of
the National committee and Secretary
Manley of Maine moved forward from
his colleagues of the committee, who
sat ranged behind him to the front of
the platform, where he read the call.
Mr. Manley's stooping figure was
easily recognizable, and the spectators
joined in the demonstration made by
tho Maine delegation.

called the convention to orpeil
main enterance and marched to it*
seats in the pit. Close after them
came Delaware's contesting delega-
tions in full force. A.idicks and his
men were a little ahead and pushed
their way to the Delaware section.
The Higginsitcs followed promptly
and there was some disputes as to
which crowd should have the seats.
They settled the matter temporarily
by taking the first chairs at hand,
with Addlcks occupying the place of
chairman of the delegation Ex-Sen-
ator Higgins stood aloof and wlien one
of his followers asked him to hare the
aergeant-at-arms put the Aildickl

eeying it was a ease of splutter*'
rights. In the meantime many seat*
in tha southern section had been oc-
cupied.
Ihe outside of the hall resembled a
beleaguered fortress when the order
to open the doors was given about
11:10 o'clock. A few of the more
favored of those holding tickets had
managed to gain admission at the
mala entrance liefore that hour and
had made their way to the gailerie*
quietly.
At 11:30 o'clock Senator Carter,
chairman of the national committee,
who was lo call the cunveutlon to

St. Louis, Ma, June IT.—The first
real demonstration of the convention
came when Chairman Carter intro-
duced Charles W. Fairbanks of In-
diana as the temporary presiding
officer.
William S. Sutherland of the New
York delegation seconded Mr. Fair-
bank's nomination, and his selection
was indorsed by the unanimous voico
of the delegates.
Ar Mr. Fairbanks stepped forward
to deliver hia speech, a wave of ap-
plause ran around the galleries, inter-
spersed with staccato cheers. His
voice, however, lacked that penetrat-
ing quality which reaches out into
apace and he could be heard with
difficulty by those in the more remote
portions of the hall. But when his
words struck a responsive chord tho
an.wer was quick and spontaneous.
As he declared in hia opening sen-
tences that the nominees of this con-
vention would be triumphantly elected
President and Vice President, there
was a tumultuous demonstration of
approval.
Mr. Fairbanks aald:
"tlentleiueu of the convention: t
am profoundly grateful for this ex-
presaion of your generous confidence.
"As citi/eus, we were never called
upon to discharge u more important
duty than that which rests upon us—
the nomination of a President and
Vice President of the United States,
Thia duly is a peculiarly Impressive
one at the moment, for It la already

This bold, aggressive attack upon
tho long-settled policy of the Repub-
lican party bore its iiatural fruit in
shaken confidence aud unsettled bunt* |
ness and we were soou drifting toward
the rock of destruction, liefore the
work of demolition had actually be*
gun, a run was started upon the treas-
ury reserve, which the Republican
party had wisely accumulated for the
protection of the government credit.
Tho drain upon tho reaorve for the re-
demption of greenbacks and treasury j
notes greatly surpassed all prior ex-
perience and emphasized the discredit
into which tho Democratic adminis-
tration had fallen. An utter want of I
confidence in the administration pot- i
sensed the people.
"At length the Wilson bill was
adopted, and it was characterized by
a Democratic President as the child of i
perfidy aud dishonor. It was so bad
that he would not contaminate his
hand by signing it. A bill that was
too base for Mr. Cleveland to approve >
is too rotten for the approval of the
American people. This important
law was wanting in the primary pur-
pose of a revenue measure, for it
failed to provide adequate revenue to
moot the requirements of the govern-
ment. The deficiency thus far
amounts to some 1*0 millions of dol-
lars. The end is not yet, for the de-
ficiency grows day by day. This
leaves tho treasury and tho public
credit in constant peril. Our foreign
credit is impaired and domestic capi-
tal feels insecure.
'.'To meet the monthly deficit and
protect our credit and save the gov-
ernment from protest, the President
has l cen forced to sell bonds; in other
words he has been obliged to mort-
gage the future in a time of peace to
meet the current obligations of the
government. This is in sharp con-
trast with the Republican record. Our
tariff laws not only raised revenue,
but they protected our domestic in
dustries; they impartially protecte
the farmer and manufacturer, both
North and South. Not only that, but
they also raised sufficient revenue to
gradually reduce the public debt, and
without imposing a grievous burden
upon the people. During the admin-
istration of Harrison $:>:w,u00,000 of
obligations were paid, while Cleve-
land during the last three years has
! added to our interest bearing debt

party enters its emphatic protest

"The present currency system, is the
fruit of Republican wisdom. It has
been adequate to all our past necessi-
ties ami, if uucorrupted, will meet our
future requirements.
| "The Republican party has not been
unfriendly to the proper use of silver.
It has always favored and favors to-
, day the use « f silver as a part of our
circulating medium. Rut it favors the
use under such provisions and safe-
guards as shall not imperil our present
j national standard. The policv of the
Republican party is to retain both
gold aud silver as a part of our circti-
j lating medium, while the policy of
free coinage of silver leads to certain
I silver mono metallism. It is an im-
mutable law that two moneys of un-
equal value will notcirculate together,
and that the poorer always drives the
better out.
\ "Those who profess to believe that ,
this government can independently of
the other great commercial powers !

pendent coinage of silver at a ratio of

"There aro many imp-e'lant ques-
tions requiring the enlightened and
patriotic judgment of the Republican
party. A Pan-American commercial
congress was conceived by .lames 0.
Maine, and the highest inotivea of
self-interest require us to accomplish

aggrandizements by foreign govern-
ments on the Western continent.

ment of our navy and merchant

puted supremacy upon the high seas.

lists the ardent sympathy of the Re-

given to liberty its fullest meaning on
this continent. We wish to see a new

"My friends, the campaign of 18W6
is upon us. The great questions for
debate in the august forum of the
United States are free trade and free
silver against a protective tariff and
sound money. As we regard our
homes and our honor, our happiness
and prosperity and the future power
and majesty of the republic, let us
dedicate ourselves to the restoration
of a protective tariff which shall be
genuinely American and to the main-
tenance of an honest standard of value
with which to measure the exchanges
of the peopie. A distinguished Re-
publican has said that the supreme
desire of the American people is for
an honest currency aud a chance to
earn it by honest toil."
SALIENT FEATURES APPLAUDED.
The address, dealing, as it did, with
a review of the existing situation.was
not designated to fire the imagination.
The telling Domts which Mr. Fair-
banks made were, however, appreci-
ated and applauded. The demonstra-
tion reached its climax when he an-
nounced the unalterable opposition of
the party to a "fifty cent dollar."
The silver people from the West,
headed by Senator Teller, took no
part in the demonstration. They sat
perfectly silent,and Teller's lip curled
with scorn.
The magnetic name of "Blaine," as
the speaker attributed to the great
Republican idol the authorship of re-
ciprocity, brought hundreds of men to
their feet and was the signal for
cheers from all parts of the building.
His expressions of sympathy for
struggling Cuba were also warmly
greeted. As ho closed with a declara-
tion that the issue was protection atul
honest money against free trade and
free silver, the convention heartily
cheered.
There was a total lack of spontane-
ity about the applause and it lacked
both volume and heartiness. The
convention was indeed singularly apa-
thetic in the earlier part of its first
session. Hundred* of seats in the .
upper und lower galleries reserved for
spectators were unoccupied.

The announcement of the name of

night before the assembling of ihb

tle elbow room left for pedestrians

Chancey I. Filler furnished the most

the free coinage of silver except by
international agreement for bimetal-
lism with leading commercial nationi
of the world."
This was to be the offer of tho East,
and upon it they were to stand. The
leaders in the middle West states,
Ohio, Indiana. Illinois, Wisconsin,
Minnesota and Nebraska were equally
strong in their insistence upon s
declaration that would not be open tc
the charge ot equivocation. Michigan,
Iowa and South Dakota stood out
against a declaration favoring in
teima the present gold standard.
They rather favored something dis-
tinctively friendly to silver, while
affirming their opposition to free coin-
age under existing circumstances
The plank agreed upon by the Iowa
delegation after a four hour struggle,
and which ia understood t>i have the
indorsement of Senator Allison, fully
sets forth this idea. That plank waa
aa follows:
"We favor the use of gold, silver
snd paper aa tha money of the I'nittd
States, all to be kept* on a parity of
value, and the enactment of necessary
laws to accompliah the purpose. We
also fsvor the use of silver as inter-
national money, either through inter-
national agreemeut to secure a tom-
mon ratio, with free coinage at auch
ratio, by the agreeing nations or by
concurrent legislation of the leading
nations to accomplish the same pur-
pose. That pending such an arrange-
ment, which should he prompted by
the power of the I'lliteil Slates, it is
unwise and ineipedient for the linited
States alone to adopt a free coinage ot
ailver at the ratio of in to 1. and,
therefore, we oppose such free coinage
of sliver."
The iesdera In the Middle West of-
fered the plank which follows This
plank was submitted to Senator l,.i<ige

for the plank prepared tor thein anil
