importance that every dollar issued by the
United States shall have the purchasing power
OF 100 cents, that our gold, silver and paper is
sues may be kept on an equal footing" The
platform also favors a liberal pension policy and
denounces the Democratic attacks on the pres
ent administration Of the pension office as made
for partisan purposes; President Harrison is in

Hewitt and John A. Hutchinson were
chosen delegates-at-large.

ST. PAUL, May 5.-The Republican state
convention for the selection of delegates to
the national convention met here today.
Chairman Joel P. Heatwole, of the state
committee, called the convention to order,
and spoke of the coming campaign as one
of certain success on account of the fact
that the party was perfectly united. Sem
ator Davis was made temporary chairman
The mention of the name of Blaine caused
hearty applause. The convention then
took a recess, reassembling at O'Clock.
The reports of the committees were pre-
sented. and there being no con-
tests, the temporary organization was
made permanent. Davis being unani
mously chosen as permanent chairman
Governor Merriam followed in a brief
speech. He referred to Davis as presi-
dental possibility, and the audience rose
and gave this remark their enthusiastic
Endorsement. Congressman John Lind
also addressed the convention. The plat
form was then read.
The platform indorses protection, reciprocity
and an abundant currency based on gold and
silver and such legislation as will tend toward
between money metals; and heartily indorses
the wise and statesmanlike administration Of
President Harrison, coupling the name Of James
G. Blaine with his foreign policy.
The reading was greeted with cheers and
theresolutions were unanimously adopted.
An additional resolution was adopted de-
precating dealings in futures and options,
and requested the states senators and
representatives in congress to use their
best endeavors to secure the passage of the
Washburn- Hatch anti-option bill now
pending in congress. The resolution also
indorsed the course of Hon. W. d. Wash
burn in regard to such legislation. The
resolution caused considerable excitement,
but when it subsided it was adopted with
cheers.
The following delegates were chosen to
the Minneapolis convention: Stanford
Newell, Ex-Governor J. S. PiIlsbury, Hon.
Frank d. Dougherty and Hon. Frank A.
Day.
After the selection of alternates and
electors-at-large, a resolution was unani-
mously adopted endorsing the reappoint-
ment of Robert g. Evans as national COM
mitteeman from Minnesota. Evans re-
sponded appropriately, and moved that it
be the sense of this convention that Sena-
tor Cushman X. Davis should succeed
himself in the United States Senate. At
this the delegates went wild with enthu-
slasm. The motion was finally adopted
by a rising vote and three cheers for Davis.
He was visibly affected, and for some little
time could not recover himself to return
thanks, which he did briefly. After a
speech by William Henry Eustis. the con-
yention adjourned.
The Seattle post-intelligencer. [volume] (Seattle, Wash. Terr. [Wash.]) 1888-1914, 1892-05-06

When he spoke of "that foremost man in
the world, to whom goes out now as
always the great heart of the Republican
party, James G. Blaine" there was mo-
mentary hush. and then the hall resounded
with cheers renewed again and again. The
platform was then adopted.
The platform unqualifedly indorses President
Harrison as "strong, efficient, patriotic, and ex-
ceptionally free OF charges of scandal and waste
fulness"; indorses the tariff legislation of the
Fifty-frst congress; denounces the narrow par
simony of the present Democratic congress, mis-
called economy, and says: "while we favor the
use of both gold and silver as money metals
under conditions which snail guarantee their
continuing and substantial parity with each
other. under the existing circumstances we are
unalterably opposed to the free and unlimited
coinage of silver The movement for an inter-
national silver conference is condemned and
the modification of the silver act so as to enable
the president to regulate silver purchases Is
recommended.
While the administration of Harrison is
strongly indorsed, no mention is made of
lnstructing the delegates for him. Loud
cheers greeted that portion of the platform
referring to President Harrison and Secre-
tary Rusk, while the protection paragraph
received terrific roar. The anti-silver
coinage and free ballot planks were warm
ly received. The platform was adopted by
acclamation. Henry C. Payne, of Mil
waukee; ex-United States Senator Spooner
and General Lucius Fairchild were nomi-
mated as delegates-at-large by acclsmation.
For the fourth place Congressman
Stephenson was chosen.
The action of Senator Villas in personally
nominating in the Democratic convention
yesterday prominent Milwaukee German
to lead the list of presidential electors was
nearly paraleled for the Republicans by
Henry C. Payne, who glowingly eulogized
John Pritzlaff, and the latter, amid great
nation to lead the roll of Republican pres
idential electors in Wisconsin. Ole Lar
son, of Polk county, was selected for Sec
ond eiector-at-large. H. c. Thorn, of Mad
ison, was selected chairman of the state
central committee.
Replying to loud calls, Senator Spooner
made brief speech. He said there had
not been better national administration
in century than during the last four
years. President Harrison had not pleased
all the Republican leaders, but the angel
Gabriel could not do it and distribute the
offices. As to the Mckinley bill, the i'm
porters of New York and London fur
nished the lies about it and the Democratic
party the liars. The free coinage of silver
he denounced as an expedient to furnish a
market for the mineral product of
Nevada county and part of the state of
Colorado. and device to scale the debts
of the South. The loss of Wisconsin in
the last state election, he declared, was
summed up in the Dogberry verdict on
the man found killed by the cars: "Due
to accident and the work of an in
cendiary"

General Malone Oppose. Harrison.

ROANOKE, Va. May 5.-The Republican
convention was called to order this after
noon by General Malone. Three cheers
were given with a will for Harrison as the
next president of the United States. In
his speech General Malone numerically
scored the Democratic party in Virginia
and condemned the recent state debt set
tlement. The following delegates-at-large
were elected: General William Malone,
J. Brown Allen, A. w. Harris and Hon.
Henry Bowen. The platform indcrses
Harrison's administration, praises Blaine,
calls for immediate action on the free sill
yer question. indorses the Mckinley law,
and demands efficient coast defense and
navy that shall inspire respect throughout
the world. Aminority report instructing
the delegates for Harrison was bitterly
opposed by the Malone men, and pros
poets are good for an all night session.

FLIGHT OF WITNESSES.
Trappers Who Were to Testify Agains
Wyoming Catt1emen Disappear.


DOUGLAS, Wyo., May 5.-A decided SEN
sation was created here this morning by
the sudden disappearance of the only
known witnesses against the cattle
men who are now prisoners at
Fort Russell. Just before the in
vaders attacked the X. C. ranch
they captured two trappers named Jones
and Walker, who were held prisoners
until Champion and Ray had been killed
and then released. Both made their way
to Casper, and on Wednes-
day last were brought here and
placed in charge of Deputy Sheriff
Kimball. The men claimed to have wit
messed the killing of Champion and Ray,
and as a matter o, fact are the only living
witnesses who can testify positively
against the regulators on the charge of
murder.
Kimbali went to Glen Rock last night.
leaving deputy in charge. and when he
returned this morning Jones and Walker
had disappeared. The men had been al
lowed to run about town during the
day and slept in the office of the
Jail. Both came in late last night
apparently pretty drunk, and about
midnight went out "for a walk" leaving
the deputy asleep. Search was made for
them and kilograms were sent in all direc-
tions, but no clue to their whereabouts has
yet been received. The fugitives carried
away with them two revolvers belonging
to the sheriff.

Idaho Republicans for Free Silver.

PoCATELLO, ldano, May o.-Ihe Repub-
lican state convention to choose six dele
gates to the Minneapolis convention was
held here TODAY. Ex-senator w. J.
Mcconnell was elected chairman. The
convention was dominated by two leading
ideas, free and unlimited coinage of silver
and James G. Blaine as candidate for
president and the speeches were devoted
largely to these two subjects. 1t was ap-
parent that the delegates were very much
in earnest on both points, and the
name of Blaine aroused wild enthusiasm
whenever it was mentioned. The follow
ing delegates were selected: Willis Sweet,
State Senator ]. NJ. Shoup, w. S. Hepburn,
NJ. B.Gwinn, ID. c. Lockwood. The platform
congratulates the people of Idaho upon the
progress made under two years of state
hood; renews allegiance to the doctrines
of the Republican party; condemns the
Democrats in congress for attempting to
put wool and Mexican lead-silver ore
on the free list, and for refus-
ing to make adequate appropria-
tons for the survey of public lands.
President Harrison Is not referred to in
the platform, but strong Blaine plank
was adopted. On the silver question the
platform recites at length the evils at
trlbuted to the demonetization of silver and
continuing says: "The Republican party
of today is confronted with the alternative
of restoring silver to free and unlimited
coinage or losing the results of protection.
The anti-silver policy of the governments
is lowering the prices of all products, and
wages must eventually be involved in the
disastrous decline, notwithstanding the
protective system"
