from the home Of secession, and when that
was Kissed he told his hearers that when
they Kissed the name Of South Carolina
they Missed the name Of the state that had
saved the day in the Revolution; that it
was her indOmitable courage that kept
alive the fires Of liberty.
He declared that the money issue this
year was sectional and was glad that
South Carolina was in front again: Il
say come from South Carolina. l came
ut an opportune time. South Carolina in
1850 led the fight in tho Democratic party
which resulted in its disruption. That
disruption of that party brought about the
war. The war emancipated the black

We meet with the conditions reversed we

acted chaplain, and when the prayer was
concluded it was announced that the plat

Some Changes I'm the Platform.
The platform as finally agreed upon was
slightly altered from that reported in
Is inserted before the money declaration
stating that the Democracy has steadfast-
ly stood by the dual scheme of govern
ment and the rights of states, and imme-
diately thereafter another paragraph
aimed at the A. P. A. The paragraph re
lating to thS power to issue money is
changed after the statement of Jackson's
views to read: 1--WE therefore denounce
the issuance OF notes as money for
national banks as in derogation Of the
constitution, and we demand that all
paper which is made legal tender for pub
lie and private debts, or which is receiv-
able for dues to the United States shall be
issued by the government of the United
States and shall be redeemable in coin. I"
Near the close an Endorsement of the Mon
roe doctrine is inserted.
Minority's Financial Plank.
The financial plank the minority pro-
posed was: Until international coop
Grafton among leading nations for the
coinage Of silver can be secured we favor
the rigid maintenance of the existing gold
standard as essential to the preservation
Of our national credit, the redemption of
| our public debt, and the keeping inviolate
| of our country's honor. We insist that
| all our paper and silver currency shall he
kept absolutely at a parity with gold.
The Democratic party is . party Of hard
money, and is opposed to legal tender
paper money rs a part Of our permanent
financial system, and we'therefore favor
| the gradual retirement Of all United
States notes and treasury notes under
such legislative provisions as will prevent
undo contraction"
Concentration for Cleveland.
Tho minority's next proposed amend
mcnt referred to the president and dc
clared that: I'VE commend the honesty
economy, courage and fidelity of the pres
ent Democratic national administration
Hill personally had an amendment to the
free coinage clause providing thai tn,
new Law should not apply to existing con
tracts, and another pledging that il fret
coinage fails to effect parity within yea
such coinage shall he suspended.

GREAT BOIEs DEMONSTRATION.

Young Iowa Girl Leads the Scene Which
Is Tremendous.
Probably the most remarkable demon
stration at the night session was when
Boies was nominated.
As White began to speak nominating
Boies BOies banner was held aloft by
an Iowa delegate. He produced a laugh
when he said that there would be no sem
sational performance on the political
trapeZe while Horace Boies was in the
White House. White was given an at
tentive hearing There was no demonstra-
ton until he concluded. The Boies dele
gates arose and cheered, but the galleries
appeared cold. Toa young woman in the
south terrace belonged the honor Of
forcing a demonstration second only to
that which followed the nomination Of
Bland. She was dressed in simple white.
She mounted a chair and began waving
a small American flag frantically to and
fro. For fully minute she was unob.
served. Then some one noticed her Eyes
began to turn in her direction. She con-
tinued to wave the flag with rythmic
motion, crying as she did so ''Boies, Boies,
Boies." The delegates got on their chairs,
the galleries began to cheer, and in an
other minute the Coliseum was aflame.
As the demonstration grew all eyes CEN
tered on the young woman in white. The
Boies banner was carried from the pit up
to the terrace where the striking figure
stood, like second Joan Of Arc, urging
on the nomination OF Iowa's favorite son.
The staff Of the banner was placed in
her hands and she swung it to and fro
while the galleries yelled. Once she sank
back exhausted by her efforts and the din
was subsiding. But gathering her waning
strength for final effort she sprang up
again, and once more seizing the banner
she moved forward and was almost car
ried down the slope by the maddened
crowd about her. Swiftly she went for.
ward to the platform, where the Iowa dele.
CATION came forward to meet her and es
corted her with shouts to the place of the
delegation.
For fourteen minutes the demonstration
led BY the girl in white kept up Then or
der was restored. The young woman who
had led a0.0O0 people proved to be Mis-.

remarks of the distinguished senator from

cheering and applause. We get our De-
mocracy from our fathers. We do not

THE question which this convention Ia
to decide is which is the best position to
take at this time upon the financial ques-
ton In word the question presented is
between international bimetallism and
local bimetaIlism." Speaking of the ap-
peals to the anti British feeling in this
country by calling the gold standard the
British" policy, Hill said: "They forget
to tell the people of this country that it is
French policy also; they forget to tell
the people of this country that it is Ger
man policy also; they fail to remind you
that il is Spanish policy also. They fail
to tell you that it is the policy Of the
whole number of governments represent
ed in what was called the Latin Union.
Speeches against the platform were made
by Villas and ex- Governor Russell. and for
| the platform by Bryan, of Nebraska. This
| speech was a very eloquent one and as a
| matter Of fact brought the speaker for
| ward as q candidate for the presidency. 1t
was so eloquent that though it was red
hot free silver the galleries were quiet.
| When he closed there was a tremendous
| outburst Of enthusiasm.
Then Hill moved the adoption of his
substitute for the financial plank and
Jones, of Arkansas, moved the previous
question, tip previous question was or
aercd and a roll call ordered ON the Hill
substitute

MEN NAMED FOR THE NOMINATION

Six Names Presented: Bland, Boies. Bryan. |
Matthews, Blackburn and Mclean. |
When the convention was called to |
order in the evening session Jones, of Ar |
kansas. moved o call Of the states for
nominations for president, and the mo
ton prevailed. The speech of Bryan, of
Nebraska, in the day session had made
him u very dangerous dark horse, and
yielding to the persistence Of his friends
name would be presented to the conven-
ton as n candidate for president. His
room ct the Nebraska headquarters was
thronged with delegates from various Sec
lions of the country. At least one gold
state was represented. The Nebraska
men and the visiting delegates were in
close conference with Bryan upon the sub
ject of him entering the race.
So when the order of nomination was
reached i'm the convention there We're some
very anxious men among those who VIZ 70
booming Boies Bland and Matthew'S. Tho
chairman announced that nominating
speeches must occupy but thirty minutes
each. When Arkansas was reached she
yielded her time to Vest, who arose and
put in nomination Richard Parks Bland,
of Missouri. The name was received with
u hurricane Of applause Vests speech
was eloquent, but closed abruptly with
dOggerel poetry, Give us Silver Dick and
silver quick and We will make Mckinley
Sick
Vest closed so suddenly that the Bland
men who stood ready to make a demon
stration failed to catch on ut the first mo-
ment. and the first outbreak for the Mis-.
souri, statesman was rather weak in its
nature. But it rapidly gained strength
and for thirteen minutes the convention
was a pandemonium. Frantic delegates
bore about the hall procession of BAN
ners which bore n variety of legends,
among them the following: Zone God.
One Country. One Bland SILVER
! Dick, the Peoples Choice" BLAND, Sill
ver's Champion etc.
Oberineyer, of Kansas, seconded Bland
| in the name Of the Grasshopper State and
was followed in the same strain by j. II.
| Williams for Illinois. The next state to
| respond was Georgia, for whom Mr.. Lewis
| spoke, and he nominated W. j. Bryan, Of
| Nebraska, and j. Fred Williams, of Mas
| sachusetts, second the nomination. South
Dakota also seconded, SO did Mississippi;
| SO did North Carolina and Louisiana, when
there was demonstration that lasted
fourteen minutes in favor OF Bryan, and
that was simply delirious.
The next state to be heard was Indiana,
and Senator Turpie IN an eloquent speech
nominated Claude Matthews, Governor OF
the Hoosier state Iripiett OF California
seconded: During iurpies speech the
din was understandable. 1t was estimated
that fully 5000 people were in the build
ing and nothing could be heard above the
persistent hum OF so many voices In
vain Chairman Richardson cried Tor order.

ON A sCALPED TICKET
Hinge the Troubles of Two Brokers
and q Woman


"A. A. Reeder and M Coriat, the
former proprietor, and the latter a
clerk In a ticket office at 1891 Robert
street, were before Judge Orr yester-
day afternoon charged with larceny
Thee complaint was made by Mrs. Mary
Horning, who alleges that she pur-
chased a ticket from the place operated
by Reeder from st. Paul to. Crooks
ton and paid $3.50 for the same. The
ticket purported to be good over the
Northern Pacific line, but when she
took the train for Crookston Wednes-
day night the conductor refused to &C
cept it, and she was obliged to leave
the train at Minneapolis Reeder and
Coriat pleaded not guilty to the charge
and asked for speedy hearing. Ow-
Ing to the crowded condition of the
court calendar Judge Orr said this
would be impossible and continued the
cases until Monday next. Both the
prisoners were released on 500 bonds.
Reeder said the arrest was all wrong.
He had never seen the woman before
and was positive that she had not pur-
chased the ticket at his place of busi-
ness. He said that where she made
the purchase they had handed the wo-
man one of his cards and for this rea-
son7he had been arrested. The woman.
he said came to his place Of business
yesterday morning, but as he had moth
ing to do with the ticket he refused to
make good the amount she demanded.

patton as a ticket broker was arrested

.teetive Gruber and Murnane, on a
charge of larceny Murphy, the de-
tectives say, was the person who sold
Mrs Horning the ticket to Crookston,
which was refused by the conductor
on the Northern Pacific train. Murphy
gave. 500 bail for his appearance in

The funeral of Mrs Martha L. Girls
wold widow Of the late G.. G.. Girls

many and practical. She was also a
woman of deep patriotic feelings and
has been especially pronounced. The
flag presented to Capt. H. S. O'Brien
on the evening Of the open air reception
on Summit avenue was her gift and
offered in her name, and she was hon
orary chairman Of the flower commit
tee, whose members contributed a
touching feature Of the Grand Army
parade.
