HANKS FROM KANSAS
Grover Cleveland Favored
and Delegates Plainly In
stPueted.
"Free Bimetallic Coinage" Is
What the Jayhawkers
Fancy.
A Winning Combine With the
Peoples Party Is on the
Card.
Republicans Of Pennsylvania
and Massachusetts Go on
Record.

SALIVA, Kan. April 20.-The Kansas
Democratic convention today. after the
committee oil resolutions had spent five
hours arranging and wrangling over the
silver question, adopted its report favor
ing free bimetallic coinage OF both gold
and silver, and instructing the delegates
to vote for Cleveland while his name re-
manned before the Chicago convention.
The previous question shut off all de-
bate on the. resolutions and Hill dele
gate seconded the adoption of the re-
port, which was carried without dis
senting vote.
The tariff plank declares in favor OF
free raw materials, and that allitarift
taxation be based upon the true constl
tional and Democratic principles of
tariff for revenue only. The resolutions
declare in favor of such legislation as
would crush out monopolies, trusts and
combinations which in any way tended
10 restrict the product OF the mine, the
farm or the factory. The money plank
reads: I'VE demand the free and un-
restricted coinage of both gold and
silver, the money Of the constitution,
under such conditions as will preserve
from time to time the value OF these
metals as money and not as arteries of
commerce. We believe that the gold
basis of currency is insufficient, and the
welfare of the great body of the peopl c
requires, and we urge that every posi-
bic effort be made to induce the other
commercial nations of this world to
agree with us upon common basis and
For timetable Coinage
OF both gold and silver. We also de-
maDd the continued use Of our green
back currency and such other paper
currency redeemable in gold or silver at
the option of the government as the
business needs of the country may de-
mand."
The resolutions also declare for the
election of United States senators by
the direct vote of the people OF the
states, condemn the present pension de-
partment for making itself an instlu-
ment of much favored agents, and TO as
sist favorites and TO construct personal
political machines. The instructions to
the delegates bound them completely,
and were as follows:
"Thesdelegates selected by this con-
vention are instr ucted to vote for Grover
Cleveland and to use all honorable
means TO secure his nomination in order
that he may be enabled TO. execute the
policy upon which he has united the
masses of the country, and that his
patriotic course while in Office may be
vindicated; that in their vote in said
convention the delegation after deter
mining what the vote of the entire dele
CATION shall be, shall vote as unit;
that the delegaIes-elect shall continue
to work and vote for Cleveland as long
as his name shall be before the con ven
ton"
No Organized Kick.
There was n scene of wild confusion
In the convention when the instructions
to delegates were read, and Judge Mar
tin, the chairman of the committee oil
resolutions, who was known TO be OPP
posed to Cleveland. was forced TO read
! the instructions over again. The con-
yenton then proceeded with the cleo
ton OF delegates. the six delegates at
large elected being the leaders of the
| Cleveland movement in the state.
They are ex-Gov George w. Click,
w. c. Jones. chairman Of the Demo
cratic central committee; Tully Scott,
of Oberlein; Hon. Thomas Fenelon, of
LeaYenWorth; X. I. Sapp, OF CnerOkee
county, and Thomas r. Fitch, of
Wichita.
The politicians, who won the day, will
proceed at once 10 organize for the pur-
pose or securing a combination with the
Alliance on the congressional districts
and state tickets. The Democrats
are confident of eecting the Peo-
pies electoral ticket and will or
ganize Democratic clubs all over the
state for the purpose of showing the
voters the necessity of voting the Peo-
pies instead of the Democratic electoral
ticket. The work of the central COM
mlttee in fixing the Democratic state
nominating convention at Pittsburg,
July 6. was undone by the convention,
and resolution adopted calling upon
the committee to agree upon central
location.
