j. II. Broody was nominated for Supreme
Judge and f. A. Brogan and S. F. Hene-
her for Regents of the State University.
Every mention of the name of Cleveland
provoked wild applause.
The platform adopted congratulates the
people upon the defeat of the prohibition
amendment; denounces the force bill;
reioices that Congress viii soon again be-
come a delberative body; denounces
trusts and pools, and condemns the
ent administration, which invites
commercial intercourse only with
nations which buy our manufactur-
ing products, and prohibits the freedom
of exchange with those nations which
purchase our surplus agricultural pro-
ducts. 1t favors the free coinage of
silver, and that it shall be made full
and legal tender for all debts, public or
private, and denounces the unjust and
dishonest provisions of the law recently
enacted allowing parties to stipulate
against the payment in silver and silver
certificates, thus setting up one standard

The platform denounces as suggestive
of partisan prejudice the indecent haste
shown in issuing writ of custer against
Hon. James f. Boyd, the chosen Gov

ing lessons from the great exhibit at the
fair Great strides in industrial acts are

Campbell opened his campaign at Sidney
to-day. The Governors speech was de-
voted chiefly to the tariff and silver
questions. lie said Mckinley had lodged
the former question from the opening of

Republican leaders of the State with
having made concentrated efforts to force
down the tariff issue in the campaign.
He then took up the record of Major Nc
Kinley on the silver question, and
charged him with having voted for free
coinage as far back as 1877. The free sill
yer men had claimed Mckinley as n
champion about the time of the passage
OF the Silver Certificate Act of 1890.
JONES JUMPS THE TRACES.
BINGHAMToN IN. ", Sept. 17.-Lieu-
tenant-Governor Jones to-day prepared a
statement, saying that not only have the
interests of the people been sacrificed.
but that the existence of the Democratic
party has been jopardized. Continued
subservience, says he, makes the condi-
ton too degrading to be quietly borne by
American citizens. There is but one way
| to dislodge these usurpers. Temporary
defeat of the party will be harmless COM
| pared with the effects of their control.
For the welfare the State, the inter
est of the Democratic party, my duty is
to oppose the election of the nominees of
| the Saratoga Convention to such an ex-
| tent as may be within my power, and in
such manner as may seem best to accom-
| plish that purpose
