ms the state committee might see 1T. The
work of the convention was to nominate
the electors-at-large TO elect delegates
TO the convention at Indianapolis and to
adopt platform which is specific in it's
declaration for gold monometallism. The
fact that the convention did not adjourn
sine die is looked upon as a sure indica-
ton that the gold Democrats will have a
ticket in the state field this fall In fact,
some Of the leaders do not hesitate to de-
clare that this will be so.
The convention was called to order by
Chairman of the State Committee
Widenmann, who made a short speech,
In which he denounced the action OF the
Chicago convention. and said that the
duty OF the delegates assembled was to
name representative delegation TO the
Indianapolis convention. In closing, he
announced that the state committee had
decided on Daniel @. Griffin OF Water
town as temporary chairman. He was
elected.
Mr., Griffin was loudly applauded sev-
eral times during his speech, but the first
real manifestation OF enthusiasm was
when he referred to President Cleve-
lands administration. He was loudly
applauded when he referred TO the Re-
publican national platform and its plank
in favor OF protection. At the close OF
his speech the convention took q recess
until 3 p. IN.
Ii was nearly 4 o'clock when Chairman
Griffin called the convention to order
again. He introduced ex-Congressman
w. o. Everett of Massachusetts,. MIR.
Everett delivered speech in which he
vigorously denounced the Chicago plat
form and nominees and the Republican
party.
At the close OF Everett's address, the
committee on permanent orlvsSization
reported that Charles S. Fairchild had
been selected permanent chairman. and
Roswell +. Flower. e. NJ. Sheppard,
Charles Tracy and George A. Magee as

national credit unimpaired and the ma

the individual to engage in all the pur-
suits of life unhampered by the inter-
ference of paternal government, and the
right of every citizen 10 receive the re-
ward OF his labor undiminished by a
debasement of the standard of value,
are fundamental and essential principles
of the Democratic party

and its supplement-, the Populist plat
form adopted at st. Louis, because both
violate and attack all these Democratic
principles
We repudiate the nominations of the
Chicago convention. It's candidates for

American demands of the extension Of
paternal government, as he does upon
the platform adopted at Chicago. He
actively sought the Populst nomination.
