lists Defer Action untii the

Chicago, May 20.-A special to the Rec
ord from indianapolis. Ind, says.
The populists OF Indiana make the an
nouncement that within the last 10 days
an understanding has been reached where
by the populists of every state in the
Union are 10 accept the platform ana

There are ways of dying

many conventions by political parties
where the views of the people have been
sIlenced. AS far as l was concerned was
determined the democracy OF Iowa should
speak. l believe this Is the safety, and
the only safety, of any political party on
earth. When i see such a convention as
this, whose delegations have been selected
In the way that the delegations of this
convention have been selected, 1t is a
source of qualification that 1 am unable
to express In the English language. /
want you from this time forward to know
that in Iowa the spirit of the democratic
party lies within It's masses, and from this
time forward l want the masses of the
democratic party to take its destinies into
their own hands. and II they do L assure
you the democratic party will march on
to certain victory" (Applause)
The committee on resolutions then re-
ported. Judge French OF Scott county pre-
sented the minority report and made an
lmpassioned speech In its favor. A stormy
scene followed, and for half an hour the
factions howled themselves hoarse. The
majority report was then adopted by ac-
clamation.
The Platform.
In part 1t Is as follows
THE democracy OF Iowa, in convention
assembled, hereby reahirms its allegiance
to the time-honored democratic doctrine
Of bimetallsm, to the use Of both gold
and silver as primary money, and the coin
age OF Doth at a ratio without change or
unit.
we hold to the use OF both gold and
silver as the standard money OF the coun-
try, and to the coinage Of both gold and
silver without discrimination against eth
er metal or charge for mlntage.
I'm the judgment Of this convention the
explicit pledge of the national democratic
party, II fairly and honorably kept re-
ftt4fr sod fRn 20
democrat to accomplish the repeal of al
laws heretofore enacted through the in
strumentality Of the republican party
which do In letter and spirit alike dscrim-
mate against silver and In favor of gold,
and the substitution thereof of affirmative
legislation which shall upon some terms
or other restore silver TO equal rights with
gold In the mints and coinage of the coun-
try
I'VE hereby affirm as a deliberate con
victlon OF this convention that the act OF
1873, In so far as 1t demonetized silver and
established gold as the single unit of value.
Is a fragrant violation of one of the nnosi
important provisions of the constitution
of the United States-a violation which
every political party ought to condemn
and every good citizen should assist in e,,
punging from the statutes of the republic
We therefore favor the Immediate repeal
of all laws by which silver was demone-
tized. and demand it's unoualified restore
ton Of the right of free and unlimited
cionaee In the mints of the limited Statas
as money of final redemption at the ola
ratio of 16 to 1.

Buried in n Cave-in in an Ironwood
Property.

Ironwood Mich, May 21.-Eight men
were buried in a cave in at the Ashland
mine this morning. Large crews of men
commenced drifting toward the impris-
oned men in the hope of rescuing them.
The buried men were Ed Opie Paul
Nichols, Peter Moran, Ed Vansicus, Beck
man, John II. Holman, John Collins, Peter
Gura and an unknown. The men were
working at drifting on the third level,
800 feet from the surface, when the cave
In occurred. Captain Thomas williams
rushed to the scene. At that time no
great amount of ground had fallen, and
Williams was able to communicate with
the imprisoned men. They were all I'M
harmed and said with rope they could
be rescued. Captain Williams went for
help. but before he returned another large
piece of ground fell, and it was impossible
to reach the men. 1t was still possible
to communicate with them, however.
After great efforts the eight miners i'm
prisoned in the Ashland mine have ell
been rescued, one at a time.
