COLORADO REPUBLICANS.
Free Coinage of Silver Recommended
Chief .luStice Nominatel.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Col, Sept. 29.-The
Republican State Convention was
opened this afternoon, with nearly
300 delegates present. There being
no opposition to Chief Justice
Joseph {. Helm, his denomination
was made by acclamation. The plat
form heartily endorses the administra-
ton OF President Harrison. 1t favors
protection against every form of con-
Wet or servile labor, and reafiirms be-
lief in the Republican doctrine of pro-
lection to American industries. The
silver plank declares:
That the monetary condition of the world
during the last seventeen years has dem
OnStrated that the demonetiZatlon of silver
by the United States was, If not crime. a
Stupendous blunder. and that bimetallism
is necessary to the welfare and prosperity
of all commercial people. We therefore.
producing classes of all countries,
demand the full recognition of
silver as money metal by the
opening of the mints OF the United States
to the full and unlimited coinage of silver:
and we believe that such step by the GOV
erpment of the United States Will be fol-
lowed by a considerable number Of other
nations, and such a course viii eStab-
liSh the ratio in silver and gold existing
at the time of the demOnetIZatiOn of Sll-
Yer by Germany in 1871 and the tnited
states in 1873. We denounce the pretense
now being made in certain sections OF
the country that the friends of free sill
YER are the advocates of a debaSed curTen-
cy as untrue, but on the contrary we as
Sert that there can be no no stable curren-
cy based upon either gold or silver alone,
and this has been demonstrated by
the history of the two money metals
for the past fifty years. Because we are
in favor of a sound and stable currency.
we demand the use of both gold and silver
as money at ratio fixed by law and that
all paper money shall be redeemable in
gold or silver at the option of the govern
ment; and that every dollar, whether gold,
silver or paper. shall be of equal paying
and purchasing power.

and curses, mass Of men and

town lots. They clambercd up the steep
cliff like soldiers charging fortress.
The line was one mile long on each side,
and half mile long on each end. The
rush was toward lot So, which was re-
served fer courthouse. As the
angles Of the advancing lines met,
many riders were unhOrsed and
hurled peil-mell into the road.
Many persons are reported Killed
and others severely injured. Miss
Daisy, a Representative Of the Guthrie

the beginning of the race, and, striking
her head on II rock, was killed. The

failing narrowing Incidents ofthe famine
now prevailing, part of which has al
ready been cabled 10 the United States,
state that not for centuries has such
widespread distress been recorded.
1t is nothing less than ma

correspondent says the trouble is
chiefly due TO the government, which at

In addition 10 the scarcity Of food,
which has caused untold suffering, the
distress has been intensified by the UNI

tire villages have been DESTROYED. The
