SILVER KNOCKED OUT.
Free Coinage Men Defeated nc the Iowa
Democratic State Convention.

Democratic State Convention.
MARsHAILTowN, Ia, Aug. s.-One Of
the most notable state conventions In this
territory Of the Iowa Democracy closed
here. Since Monday there had been Bit
ter strife between the two opposing ele-
ments in the party-ono contending for a
ticket and platform on Sound money"
basis; the other clamoring for free coin
ago without waiting for an international
agreement. From start to finish the white
metal contingency did nearly all the talk
ing on the street, in hotel Hobbies, at va
rious headquarters, in committee rooms,
caucuses and finally on the floor Of the
convention room.
BY an apparently fortuitous incident
the silver men had a fine chance TO ex-
plot their views in the convention hall
from the fact that the resolutions commit
tee got into a wrangle on the financial
plank that kept them in the committee
room for several hours, the currency reso-
buttons being overhauled and reconstruct
ed two or three times before an agreement
was reached and the majority making
persistent efforts TO divert the introduce
ton Of the minority report During this
interval the convention did nothing but
listen to free silver speeches by radical
Whlte metal champions.
The opponents OF free silver preserved
silence except that Cato Sells made q short
talk of a concillatory character. The con-
troversy grew warm and bitter and when
the minority report favoring free coinage
was introduced another prolonged silver
discussion was preoipitated, and for awhile
the proceedings were tumultuous.
The final roll call on the resolutions
tltT no Al Il
vote Of 65tlS TO 1907. A mighty shout,
mingled with groans, Kisses and anath-
omas, followed the announcement Of the
result A large number Of free silver dele
gates Immediately left tho hail. not wait
ing for nominations.
The state ticket was then nominated as
follows: For governor, Judge W. l. Babb,
Mount Pleasant; lieutenant governor. ex-
Governor S. l.. Bestow, Charlton; super
intendent Of public instruction, Lyman
b. Parshall, Maquokota; railroad COM
missioner, Colonel George James, Du-
buque; supreme judge, Senator Thomas
G. Harper, Des Moines.
Judge Babb made a brief speech Of ac-
ccptanoe, in which he said he only accept
ed because Of the repeated urging and his
devotion Co the party and his interest 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 principles involved in financial and
other leading issues, which should be left
TO legislation.
1t is understood that Bestow will not
accept the lieutenant governorship nOmi-
nation. He is a strong free coinage man,
and IL Is said that he was chosen III hope
of oonciliating the silver people. He says
he cannot consistently run on so strong o
"sound money" platform.

Bat Is beaten In Foot-raco.
Constable Began had an exciting
chase after William Thornton, In Rising
Sun last night. but William was too
alert for the fficer and left him in the
middle Of big field. About two months
ago Thornton committed an assault
upen Humphrey Lynch. OF Bincroft's
Banks. The latter appealed TO Justice

in Constable Bogsn's hands for the arrest
Of the offender.
Day and night, with unrelsxing
vigilance. the constable sought TO bring
Thornton before the bar Of justice
Thornton, however, managed TO elude
his gaze until last night, When he was
spied by the constable standing on n
corner converting with several young
men. The officer walked calmly up and
chuckled ~ his sleeve at the thought Of
having such dead cineh" on his man
When a few feet from the willy Thorn
ton, Began made squirt with the hope
that Thornton would not detect his
presence before he could grapple him
with his . eroulean arms Did no catch
himl Mol Just AZ Bogans aria was
descending direct for his shoulder, Thor
ton scented danger aud moved a short
distance to the right Then he caught q
glimpse Of the minion Of the law aud a
foot race began. He dsrted across the
street aud over fence with the much
surprised but ever hopeful constable
close Oh his heels.
Then he bounded over another fence
aud into one Of the fields In the vicinity
Of Rising Sun. When Began attempted
to leap over tho fence he found that
Thornton was more agile, aud decidedly
his superior In foot race
Thornton scampered across the field OF
great rate and when he scaled the
fence on the opposite side, the constable
WAS many rods behind aud greatly
fatigued Thornton lost himself 10 the
darkness and Began gave up the chase.
He will, however, keep on the look out
for the fugitive.
