stration. In the party conventions of 1900 the Republicans gave a stanch support to the policy of the administration, especially on the complicated questions growing out of the war with Spain. and particularly on the one involving the future of the Philippine Islands: and the Democrats based their campaign chiefly on opposition to trusts and territorial expansion. The disposition of the Democratic leaders was to ignore entirely the silver question. The Republicans renominated President McKinley, and the Democrats Mr. Bryan, and the latter, in a remarkable tour of political speech-making, while dealing with the antitrust and imperialist features of the platform on which he was renominated, continued an earnest advocacy of the 16-to-1 silver policy. The result of this election. in which unquestionably many sound-money Democrats gave their support to the Republican candidates, was the second defeat of Mr. Bryan. See Bryan, William J.; Evarts, William Maxwell; Morrill, Justin Smith.

The President's counsel were: Henry Stanbery, of Kentucky; B. R. Curtis, of Massachusetts: Thomas A. R. Nelson, of Tennessee; William M. Evarts, of New York; William S.

When all things are ready the members of the House, before proceeding to the Senate, resolve themselves into a committee of the whole House for the purpose of prosecuting the impeachment and attend in that manner, though none of them but the managers takes part in the proceedings.
