rare. and it is said by those who know
that only three Of these beautiful curl

WEATHER REPORT.
CENTRAL STATION,

CENTRAL STATION,
Des Moines, Iowa, Sept. %, 1896.
The past week was unseasonably cold,
wet and cloudy. The daily mean tenn
perature was 2 to degrees below nor
NAL, and the rainfall was largely in ex-
cess in the greater portion of the state.
On the mornings Of the 10 and 10th
heavy frosts were reported in numerous
localities in the northern and central
districts, with temperatures low enough
to form ice in many places.
The extent Of damage 10 corn can not
as yet be estimated. 1t is certain, how.
ever, that considerable portion Of late
planted corn is yet soft, requiring warm,
dry weather to become sound and mer-
charitable. There has been thus far in
September but little favorable weather
for ripening the belated portion Of the
crop; and the low temperatures and eI-
cessive moisture have been detrimental
to both early and late corn. With more
favorable conditions in the near future
a largo yield may be harvested; but it
cannot reach the high aggregate that
would have been secured if normal
weather had prevailed for the past three
weeks.
Reports indicate that the potato crop
will fall considerably below the large
OUTPUT last year.

VERMONT FOR NrKINLEY.
Reed Men showed Under-Republi-
can Leaders Surprised.

MONTPELIER. VT, April 29.-The Re
publican State Convention dispatched its
business quickly to-day A. W. Lord, OF
Montpelier. presided. The delegates-at-
large are: Hon. Redheld Proctor, DIT.
Henry j. Hilton, Of Battleboro'; Edward
c. Smith, Of St. Adams, and c. A. Prouty
Of Newport.
A Mckinley resolution was greeted with
tremendous applause. 1t was this:
while We recognize the wisdom Of the
precedent which has heretofore sent our
delegates TO national conventions with
out tieing their hands with positive in
structions, and would not break that pre-
cedent. yet we feel we will be untrue rep
Tesentatiyes Of those who sent US here
did we fail to give voice 10 their convic-
tons: therefore, be Il
Resolved, That i'm the great apostle Of
protection, William Mckinley, Of Ohio.
We recognize the first choice of the Re
publicans Of Vermont Tor their presiden-
tial candidate"
This was adopted by reclamation, and
later n motion 10 table il was adopted,
the Mckinley men being satisfied with
this expression Of the sentiment Of the
convention The outburst Of enthusiasm
was all McKinley's way. The Reed men
attempted to have the convention look
with favor toward the man from Maine,
but IL was plainly evident that the big
gest majority of the delegates were lovers
OF Mckinley. The Reed men attempted
10 put through a motion, expressing no
preference. but the Ohio mans friends
desired Vermont TO stand firm. and car
ried the day with flying colors. The
party leaders are surprised, but say moth
ing.
1t was intended to have the delegates
80 uninstructed. but, with such a strong
sentiment in favor OF Mckinley. it is
believed that no delegate will dare 10
stand for any other candidate.
This is the financial plank: THE Re
publicans of Vermont are unalterably OPP
posed TO any scheme to give the country
a deprecated or debased currency. We
are therefore, opposed TO the free coin
age Of silver. except by international
agreement. and until the latter IS estab-
lished we believe the present monetary
standard should be honOrably maintained.
The continued agitation OF the free coin
age Of silver retards the return OF con-
fidence and prosperity, stands IN the way
of beneficial legislation, and is I'm every
respect harmful to the best interests Of
the whole country"

LINCOLN, NEB.. April 23.-The Ne
oraska Democrats Of the sound-money
school held their State convention to-day
primarily 20 elect four delegates at large
10 the Chicago national convention. and
incidentally, an the party leaders an
nounced. "to declare TO the Democracy
Of the nation that Nebraska IS not
wholly silver-mad." There was very
full representation OF delegates. and an
absence Of bitter strife In the delibera-
lions. There was no launching OF presi-
Dental booms. the only favorite son mem
toned being Secretary J. Sterling Nor
ton. who in advance had indicated his
desire that nothing be said in that con-
nection. so far as he was concerned.
The following delegates at large were
elected, by reclamation: Tobias caster
of Lincoln: W. A. Paxton. OF Omaha; G.
G. Ryan, Of Grand Island; Dan. w.
Cook, Of Beatrice.
Upon the question OF finance the plat
form says:
eve believe. with Thomas jefferson.
that the market-value Of bullion regulates
the value OF the coin, and not its
coin-value. We accept the teachings OF
economic science that under free con-
dltions the cheaper money viii always
drive out the better money, leaving no
thing but the poorer in circulation; ana
that, under this unvarying law. the adop-
ton Of free coinage Of silver at 10
10 ! would expel from circulation all the
gold, and paper money redeemaDle in
gold. and leave the country on silver
basis. with a paper currency and much
less Of it. We believe that common hon
esty and a just regard for the rights or
our creditors, as well as the rights OF
wage-earners, require us 10 use all hon
orable means TO prevent the insertion or
a free-coinage plan in the national
platform. We adhere 10 our previous
declarations on this subject, and declare
unequivocally and unreservedly for me-
talHc money as the standard unit, the
bullion and mint values Of which are APP
proximately the same and the purchas-
ing-powcr Of which, regardless Of gov
eminent mintage. IS the least calculating
