DEs MONIES, Ia, Aug. 25.-The Iowa
Democrats completed their work in the
state convent tion by the nomination Of
the following ticket: Governor, Horace
Boies; lieutenant governor. L. 8. Bes-
tow; judge supreme court, John Cleg-
gett; railroad commissioner, Thomas
Bowman; superintendent instruction.
J. B. Knoepfeller.
Governor Boies was nominated by
acclamation amid great enthusiasm.
The resolutions adopted are very
lengthy. being in part IS follows:
The administration Of Horace Boies
as governor Of Iowa for the four years
past has been snch as to fully meet the
expectations and hopes of the people.
1t has been characterized by wise
statesmaDship, strict economy and
scrupulous integrity. rarely equalled
and never surpassed In the history of
the state.
We declare our confidence in the adj
ministration OF Grover Cleveland,
president of the United States. It Is
inspired by patriotism and marked by
comprehensive understanding of all
interests and a sincere regard for the
demands of the people. We have faith
in his wisdom, honesty and ability to
lead the country out of the bogs into
which it has been plunged by the nm
wise and corrupt class legislation OF
the Republican party, and to bring
about an era of national and individual
prosperity.
The Present Financial Stringency.
The present unfortunate financial
stringency is the direct legacy of Re
publican administration. It is the log
ical result af the Mckinley tariff, OF the
Sherman silver law, of fostering Of
trusts. of legislation for the avowed
benefit of classes against masses, Of
preferences OF the rich over tfrB poor IN
legislation and of corrupt combination
and bossism. 1t is these things which
have combined to shake credit, to fo-
ment distrust, to paralyze business and
to create panic. The attempt to shift
the responsibility for the present un-
fortunate state OF affairs upon the
Democratic administration which has
been in place for less than six months
is futile and absurd. Four years ago q
Democratic administration left to its
successors a surplus of 800. 600, 900; the
Repu blican administration left the
present financial trouble among the
people and an empty treasury.
Tariff and Money.
Taxation Of the whole people for the
benefit of the few is wrong in principle
and dishonest in application. We de-
nounce this policy and reiterate our de-
votion to the cause of tariff reform set
forth in the platform adopted by the
Democratic national convention at Chi
cago in 1892; and we urge congress to
give the country early relief, having in
view permanent, stable, honest and
equitable revenue system.
We denounce the Republican legisla.
tion known as the Sherman act OF 1890
as cowardly makeshift which has
brought present financial perils and
troubles upon MS and demand the i'm.
mediate repeal of the silver purchase
clause thereof and with the national
Democratic convention OF 1892, we
hold to the use of both gold and silver
as the standard money of the country
and the coinage Of both gold and silver
without discrimination.
We favor just and liberal pensions tx
deserving veterans and In their Interest
we urge that the names Of all frauds
and illegal pensions be eliminated from
the rolls. But the pension OF no wor
thy soldier should be disturbed.
And as q partial reparation for the
unjust confiscation Of private property
caused by the prohibitory law, we IA
vor such legislation as will not prevent
the manufacture of spirituous or vinu
ous liquors within the state, thereby
giving to our people at least equa
rights in this respect with the manu-
facturers of other states.
