JUDGE BABB ACCEPTS.

The state ticket was then nonai-
mated, as follows: For governor,
Judge W. I. Babb, Mount Pleasant;
lieutenant-gov ex-Gov S. L.
Bestow, OF Charlton: superintendent
OF public instruction, Lyman B. Par
shall, MaQuoketa: railroad commits
sioner, Col. George James, Dubuque;
supreme judge, Senator Thomas G.
Harper, Des Moines. Judge Babb
made a brief speech of acceptance,
in which he said he only accepted
because of repeated urging and his
devotion to the party and its inter
est in the state in which he was born
and raised. He said the differences
existing in the party as developed
in this convention were in regard to
details rather than to great plin-
ciples involved in financial and other
leading issues, which should be left
TO legislation. It is understood to-
night that Bestow will not accept the
leutenant-governship nomination.

form on a sound-money basis, the
other clamoTing for free coinage
without waiting for an International
agreement. From start 10 finish the
white metal contingent did nearly
all the talking-on the street, in
hotel 1obbies, at various headQuar-
ters, in committee rooms, in eau
cusses, and finally on the floor. of
the convention. By an apparently
fortuitous incident the silver men
had a fine chance to exploit their
views in convention hall during the
afternoon, from the fact that the
resolutions committee got into a
wrangle on the financial plank that
kept them in the committee room
till nearly 4 o'clock, the currency
resolution being overhauled and re-
constructed two or three times before
an agreement was reached, and the
majority making persistent effort TO
avert the introduction of the minor
ity report. During this interval the
convention did nothing but listen to
free silver speeches by radical white
metal champions. The sound money
men preserved silence, except that
Cato Sells made a short talk of a
conciliatory character. The contro-
versy grew warm and bitter, and
when the minority report favoring
free coinage was introduced another
prolonged silver discussion was pre-
cipifated and for awhile the pro-
ceedings were tumultuous. The final
roll call on the resolutions showed
the white metal crowd defeated by
a vote Of 65115 TO 1907. A mighty
shout, mingled with groans, Kisses
and anathemas, followed the an
nouncement Of the result A large
number of free silver delegates i'm
mediately left the hall, not waiting

full effects of the Sherman law, the re-
peal Of the un-American federal cleo
ton law, and uprooting of Mckinley
ism, to be works worthy the history
and prestige of the great Democratic
party and of courageous Democratic
administration. We re-affirm the fol-
lowing portion Of the seventh plank of
the last National Democratic con-
vention: we hold to the use of both
gold and silver as the standard money
of the country, and to coin both gold
and silver without discrimination
against either metal or charge for
mintage; but the dollar unit of coin
age Of both must be of equal intrinsic
and exchangeable value, or be adjust
ed by international agreement, or by
such safeguards Of legislation as shall
insure the maintenance of the parity
Of two metals and the equal power of
every dollar at all times in the pay
ment of debt; and we demand that the
paper currency shall be kept at par
with and redeenable in such coin.
We insist upon this policy as es
pecially necessary for the protection Of
farmers and laboring classes, the first
and most defenseless victims of un-
stable money and f1uctuating currency.
