St.Louis. Nov. Lit.^In the silver enliven^tion yesterday. P. bland, chairman of the^committee ^m resolutions, presented the fol^^lowing report: The national silver conven^^tion held in St. lxrois, Mo., Nov. ^i. :'7 and^^I lrWt. adopted this preamble and resolu^^tion as their delils-rate opinion that the^demonetization of silver has worked a prac^^tical violation of every contract then exist^^ing in the I'uited States, entailed unwonted^losses, reduced prices more than :W per^cent., and its effect is practically to make^debts perpetual, as it takes from the debtor^the ability to pay them; it causes a contrac^^tion of the currency which reduces its^value, until there is no profit left to the^farmer, planter or men of small capital,who^depended on the saleof products for returns^lor their labor: that we believe the certifi^^cate of the government, backed a dollar for^dollar by gold and silver coin, on deposit in^the treasury of the I'niteil States, is a safe^and sound currency, and has la-en approved^by the people: that considering the contrac^^tion caused by the surrender of national^bank notes during the last three years, and^the Mist sums that must lie collected by the^cancellation of government Ismds during^the next three years, the necessity of restor^iug silver is as'manifest as is the justice of^such a |^)licy. That the gold and silver of^tin west pouring in a ste.nl^ stream upon^the cast tm toft] fsan v it a 11 / cd every form^of business there.^ mid steadied and upheld^the credit of the nation through a meat war^and made resumption lsissihle, and what we^Ml demand is as much more to t he interest^of the oast than of tin west M the produc^^tions ut the Mtt M ' i in value the pndtM-^tions of the west; that we believe ill equal^rights of gold and silver, free coin.me t..r^both, and that no nation ever had or will^have too much gold and silver coin.
Now,theicfoie. he it resiil\^ d. that the^Fifty-First congress he requested at its first^session to pasH a law for the opening of^mints in the Tinted States to the free and^unlimited eiiiTiiiL'e of standard silver dollars^of the present weight and fineness, to lie u^legal tender for all debts, public or private,^equal with gold, mid that until such pro^vision is made, the secretary of the treasury^be required to coin a maximum of $ I i^^i.^tHH) per month as now authorized bv law.
Mr.Klaud announced the gi nt leman from^Iowa, Mr. Wcller, desired his r port be^pi mted as pal t of the pris-ecd ini.-s of the^convention, and that he would nwaf no tm^ther op|Misition to the adoption nf the ma^^jority report. He did this in tin interest^| of harmony. The report of tin committee^I on resolutions was then adnp.dhy a vote^| of i:v^ to 7.
Aresolution offered by (o n. Minter, of^Missouri, favoring an intern;.t .mud silver^coiigiess daring the world's f i r. was tabled.
Fitch,of Nevada, w is by spuial MMMl^called to the platform and delivered a long^address, winch was one of the best delivered.
Inan exhaustive review of the labor diffi^^culties, he laid all of the blame lor the^poverty stricken condition of the working^classes at the door of the capitalists who^demonetized silver. For twenty years, he^said, we have had abundant prosperity, hut^at the end of it we find wealth centered in^few bands. What has the lalsirer to show^for twenty years of tnil^ He can boast that^the Hggregate wealta o. the nation islargcly^increased, of factories established, cities^en ct, d. in, is bridged, transcontinental^highways reaching from ocean to ocean: In^can call the mil of the millionaires, and^will respond where before the war there was^less than ^' He can wqie the^sweat from Ills weary face,^and reflect that among the K,um million^^aires may be enumerated the names of^twenty American citizens who have gath^^^red dl.ftlli.O M,iMl from the toil and tears of^sixty millions of |K^oplc. He can walk^weary and shelterless in the shadow of the^palace he has built, but may not enter. 1^seek not to assail the rights of capitalists^or arouse against tin in the prejudices of^poverty or unthrift; but f. r twenty years^capital has tampered with the people's^money, and gathered to itself illicit gains^by increasing the burdens of industry. The^light for the restoration of silver is the^tight of the debtors against the creditors,^the lalsirer against the capitalist, the
ii against the rich. It is idle for the 1110-
nomctallistato tell us prices have been^reduced because of the increased produc^^tion in India. This may lie the spproxi-^mate cause, hut I say the cause will l^-^found in silver demonetization alone. Kng-^land has become to-day the greatest silver^consumer in the world, and yet in all her^vast empire she produces less than 7 |^er^cent of the worlds supplv, and Germany,^co-conspirator in the work of demonetiza^^tion, produces less than .'I percent. F.ng-^land is the bunco-steerer of the world, and^I'ncle Sam in the gentleman from the rural^dist rict.
Howmuch longer will our miners, plant^^ers and farmers consent that our scui to a^mid representatives at Washington shall^continue to legislate in the interest of VSall^street^ Is it not time for the American^eagle to rise and shake the Liverpool salt^from its tail^ (Great applause, i It may be^the sudden renmnetization of silver would^produce some temporary disturbance in^Wall street, but the eastern and western^boundaries of this nation are not found be^^tween l'earl street and Hroadway. We are^here to represent the cottages and cabins of^this country, and their intei eats should lie^protected, though the bulls of the Wall^street bucket shops bellow with rage.
Aresolution was offered by Fitch, of^Nevada, providing for the appointment of a^national silver committee, waich should^be empowered to call another national sil^^ver roiivention and provide for the election^of delegates thereto. Also that said na^^tional silver committee be empowered to^in,ivide for the organization of a national^silver lencue for the promotion of the oh-^jeets of this convention. Adopted.

Tin.'resolution, adopted by the Montana^bouse, of rcprencuttttivea was read urging^the convention to adopt views favoring the^unlimited couiage of silver and to lend^their hearty support to all measures con^^ducive to that end in congress.
Theconvention then adjourned sine die.

The chairman^was authorized to name a time and place^for holding the next convention and to ap-^|Hnnt an executive coinniittee of nine to^conduct the silver campaign.

The weight^which lifted the body was not heavy enough^and the scaffold was not high enough to^give sufficient rebound to break the con^deiiiiied man's neck, and kit struggles and^contortions as he slowly strangled to deal b^were frightful.

Some of these^congressmen have been to interview the^treasury officials, and Congressmen Hhiis-^brough and Wilson at h ast are preparing^hills in winch their requests will be s|icci-^lied. Mr. Hausbroiigh wants a building for^Fargo one for Grand Forks snd one for^Hlsnnirck, to Ih' used for holding l intel^States courts and the customs and |^oatofficc.^Mr. Carter will ask for buildings at Helena^and llutte.

TheSpeakership I'ruhlnm.
Thereis little change in the speakership^contest to-day, bill it is apparent that Ifeed^will be Humiliated early ill the caucus, the^effort to prejudice the west against lii ed by^springing Ins wool, lead and silver record^having come to grief. It is intimated that^the president will recommend in his mes^^sage the purchase of all the silver product^of the country, while leaving control of the^coinage with the government. The sugges^^tion that silver bullion be accepted as a de^^posit instead of bonds to secure bank cir u^lation, meets with some favor.
Agreat effort is being made by liccd's^lieutenants to-night to drive every wavering^vote into his column on the tlrst ballot. The^lie d men say there is no doubt of their man^An the MIM ballot, but the persistent^effort that is Is'ing made to nominate him^mi the tlrst ballot encourages his ^p|siiieiits^to work the harder to prevent a nomination^immediately, and they atill cling to the be^lief that some of his first supporters will^desert. The strength of theditli n nt candi^dates on first ballot is as follows: Heed. 78;^Mckinley, ftl: Cannon. 21; Henderson, VJ;^burrows, !i, with three votes kaMMMl to^place.

Fi.xuoas,Nov. at.^ lN|ieeial.] - Mat Fog-^arty, an employe of the Klkhorn Mining^company, was fatally shot last night by a^man named King. Foyarty and W. It. Hen-^nett organized a dance for Thanksgiving^night and acbsl as Floors manager. The^dancing was by number, the tlisir Is ing in^^adequate to pmN of all dancing at one^time, and King p..id little or no attention^to the rules. Fogarty requested that he^should dance only in his turn and thought^no more about it. In a short time Fogarty^and some friends left the hall and in cross^^ing the street met King and his companion^named Peters. No words wen , xcliauged.^but just as Fogarty and his friend met,^King drew his revolver and shot Fogarty in^Hie abdomen. King went at once to his^cabin, accompanied by Peters. The cabin^was sixm surrounded by infuriated men and^King surrendered. Fogarty'a friends did not^know that Peters was with King, and after^in resting the latter tbey searched the town^for him but Peters left the cabin almost as^soon ns F'ogarty's friends and started^toward boulder. A messenger was dis^^patched on horseback to Itouldcr to notify^the sheriff and when about twelve miles^from Klkhorn he overt,sik Peters. The^messenger having no gun he was unable to^make an arrest, but kept his man iii sight^and in a short time was overtaken by I'd.^G'Donnell and James Mitchell who had^King in charge. GTKinnell drew a bead on^Peters and commanded him to surrender,^which he did. and the party then prm'eeded^on their journey to Itouldcr. where the pris^^oners were placed in jail. Fogarty has al^ways had a good reputation, while King is a^new man from Colorado. At last accounts^small hopes of Fogarty's recovery wa re en^tertained. The provocation for the shooting^is unknown unless he felt insulted at being^ordered to oliey the rules of the ball room.^The prompt manner in which King was^hustled off to Itoulilci. only pre\eiil,d 111iii^from being lynched. There seem* to be^some doubts as to whether King or Peters^lio il tin shut as the night was very dark.
