COUNCIL BLUFFS la, May 1O.-The
State Of Iowa viii send a solid delegation
to the National Democratic Convention
instructed to vote for Horace Boies for
President Of the United States. These in
structions will be emphatic, and the
Hawkeye Democrats will not think of
second choice until Boies no longer has a
hope Of receiving the national favor.
should the contingency arise, the Iowa
delegation will doubtless cast a solid vote
for Cleveland.
The convention meets here tomorrow
to select delegates to the National Con-
Venton. The only contest i'll the conyen-
tlon is likely to be over the financial
plank. Congressman Hayes is here from
Washington. He is the leader of a for
mldabIe element which will protest
against any declaration in favor of free
silver. The last two Democratic State
Conventions of Iowa declared in favor Of
Tree coinage, but indications are that the
present one will declare for the coinage OF
both gold and silver to the greatest extent
compatible with an equal Interchange of
the circulating medium.

NEW HAVEN Conn, May l0.-The
Democratic State Convention met this
morning. Judge Walsh was made tenn
pOrary Chairman. He made a speech
urging that the delegates be instructed.
Alter the appointment of committees a
recess was taken.
On recOnvening General Z. Bardley of
New Haven was made permanent Chair
man. The mention of Cleveland in his
address aroused unbOunded enthusiasm.
The delegates arose, cheered and threw
up their hats. Then three lusty cheers
were given for him. This was followed
by cheers for Hill mingled with few
misses from the Cleveland men.
The delegates to the National Conven-
ton were then selected.
The platform demands a tariff revision
on the lines of the national platform of
1888; demands free raw material: de-
nounces the Mckinley bill; declares for
stable currency of gold, silver and paper,
founded upon coined money of the least
obtainab!e fuctuatIon in value, and re-
CARDS unlimited coinage of silver dollars
worth but siXty-seven cents each with
legal tender attributes attached as finau-
cIal heresy, certain to result in a proper
tionate reduction in wages, unSettling of
contracts and widespread distress.
1t applauds the integrity, statesman
ship, lofty patriotism of the admiDistra-
the administration of Benjamin Harri-
son. Not a word is said as to instructing
the delegates for any particular candi-
dates.
The convention then adjourned.
BLAINE HAS NOT CHANGED HIS MIND
WASHINGTON, May 10.-Postmaster
Manley OF Augusta, Me-, one of Blaine's
most faithful followers, has been in
Washington for several days and has
a of f1cy1,lt t,ti l.
Blaine. Before leaving for home Manley
said: There is nothing in this new talk
about Blaine and the Presidency. When
he wrote the letter of last February to
Clarkson, in which he stated his name
was not to go before the convention for
nomination, he meant it. He has not
changed his mind since. He saws frankly
to those who speak TO him on the subject
that he feels better than for a long time.
and knows no reason why he should not
live for years. But he is conscious he
could not endure the great aud unusual
strain, and he does not intend to place
himself in q position where such strain
could not be avoided.'
SENTIMENT AGAINST HILL.
NEW YORK, May 1O.-It is very evil
dent from the figures of the enrolment
which the anti-snap Democrats of this
State are making that the May Conven-
ton will be one of the most thorouChly
representative bodies which ever as
sembled in this or any other State Al
ready over 100000 names of Democratic
voters are on the list, and the probability
is that when the convention come to-
gether the total will be nearly a quarter
of million. The vote cast for Governor
Flower was less than 5S3, 900, so that
nearly half the Democratic voters of the
State have joined in a formal protest
against HilPs attempt to deprive the
party of voice in the National Conven-
ton. In Erie County, the home of HIPS
chief agent at Albany, Lieutenant-Ciov-
ernor Sheehan, over 1900 names have
been enrolled in total of 2S,0 900 Demo-
cratic voters, and in many other counties
a similar proportion Of protestants is
shown.

New YORK, May 10.-A reporter to-
