He then took up the monetary ques-
ton and made an anti-silver argu-
ment, referring to the constant howl
from the west.
The Democratic party he contin-
ued, "has always championed equal
rights for all men. 1t has, through its
administrations and its statesmen,
done more to increase the area, and
consequently the possibilities, of our
nation, than all other parties COM
bined. 1t has always fought for those
interests which are dear to the COM
mon people. It's efforts have always
been in the direction of an honest,
just financial system. 1t is the great
exponent of Individual freedom and
personal liberty. Il advocates the
right to buy where you can buy the
cheapest, and TO sell in the most pront-
able markets 1t struggles to develop
true national industry. 1t throws us

and needy. II lifts its voice against
the onward march of monopohsuc
power. It oiscourages conditions that
produce tramps. 1t warns the NATIONS

they talk of extending their force ana

CRIES FOR "BOIES."
Wright's speech was frequently in
terrupted with applause. When he
mentioned General Weaver, the silver
mems enthusiasm found vent in
cheers. His declaration that silver
should be considered money at pro-
portionate value with gold called out
prolonged cheers from the gold stand
ard people. while the silver men re-
manned silent, barring a mild protest
from one or two delegates Beies'
name brought the convention to its
feet and the cheers continued fully five
minutes An intimation OF Boies' al
legged inconsistency was interrupted by
cries of "Boies, Boies," and cheers from
the gold men. Cleveland's name was
also enthusiastically received.
After naming committees ana an
nouncing the district delegates, the
convention adjourned until p. m.
CARR IS o. K.
1t was 2:so when the convention was
called to order The committee on per-
manent organization reported in favor
of E. NJ. Carr. of Delaware county, as
permanent chairman.
His Introduction by Temporary
Chairman Wright brought forth cheers
from the convention.
Chairman Carr said: 81 congratulate
you. gentlemen, because know that
YOU are here pledged to the cause of
human rights and opposed to the
selfishness of wealth. A great question
is now before the people of the United
States. 1t affects every home and
every individual in the land. 1t is

I rejoice to k low that the Democracy
of Iowa stands true to our party
teachings. true to the wealth pro-
ducers of the nation, true to the toll
ing millions Of the land. In this cam
paign all masks must come off. all de-
ception must end.
-Four years ago the platforms of
both the great parties declared for the
coinage and use of silver as standard
money. They
APPEARED QUITE FAIR
to the casual observer, but on close
inspection were found TO contain Sc
cret trapdoors, large enough to allow
the escape of every gold standard Of
fetal There are only two sides to
this question. It is bimetallism against
the single gold standard. There is no
middle ground for any party to hon
estly stand upon, and should such an
attempt be made in this campaign the
object viii be to deceive, and retribu-
ton viii follow"
He claimed that the gold standard
policy had brought hard times, COM
PEELED the issuance of bonds in times
of peace. and was responsible for the
deficiency IN the revenue. The short

wealth. the men who are interested in
making the wealth they now possess
double in value. are striving TO regu-

ing the minis against the coinage OF
silver they commenced a campaign for
the destruction of the greenbacks, and
kept congress from taking its usual
holiday recess last December in a
desperate attempt 70 reduce the vol

In concluding. the speaker strongly
objected to the obstruction of green

the efficient instrument of the people S
Will in This great work.
Nearly every sentence of Mr. Carrs
speech was applauded and many OF
its sentiments brought out approving
cheers. Suddenly. the name of Horace
Boies was mentioned by the speaker
An instant's hesitation and the con-
vention broke into wild cheering and
calls for Boise were frequent. The con-
