IOWA DEMOCRACY.
Boies Named for the Presidency
and Free Silver Endorsed.
SOUND MONEY" MAKES A FIGHT,

But Has Little More Than One-Fourth Of
the Delegates and Ii Overwhelmingly
Beaten-B0ies leads the Delegation to
Chicago = The Resolution ON Money
which Was Adopted-A Demand for .
Labor Portfolio In the Cabinet.
DUBUQUE, Ia, May 21.-The Democratic
state convention yesterday was silver from
start to finish. The silver men controlled
every move, and the final result is that
districts the Iowa delegation to Chicago is
solid and uncompromising for the white
metal. Even the districts captured by the
gold men are Of no benefit to them because
Of the adoption Of an ironclad unit rule in
the Instructions. The convention was not
only one Of the largest and most enthusi
astic ever held in Iowa, but it was also one
of the stormiest Trouble threatened Tues
day night over the temporary chairman
ship was smoothcd over and all went we'll
until the platform was reached.
Boies Endorsement Enthusiasts.
Then the storm broke and pandemonium
reigned. A dozen men were on the floor
at once all trying to talk at the same time.
The chairman was unable to control them
and appeals for order from the more con-
sentative were unavailing until the dele
gates had worn themselves out. Then they
settled down to business and the white
metal men completed their victory by the
adoption of one Of the strongest platforms
adopted by any state this year. The in
dorsemcnt of Governor Boies was cnthusi-
astic, and his reception by tho convention
was one of the most stirring scenes of the
day. 5. $. Wright, of Cedar Creek, was
made temporary chairman. In anticipa-
ton Of an open protest from the silver
men Mr.. Wright had greatly modified
the speech which he intended to deliver.
Weights Speech Against Free Silver.
The trend of his address, however, was
against free silver, and his applause came
from the gold delegates. The mention Of
Boics' name brought the convention to
it's feet and cheers continued fully five
minutes. Intimation of Boies' alleged
Inconsistency was interrupted by cries of
'Boies! Boies!" and cheers from the gold
men. Clcveland's name was also enthusi-
astically received by the gold men. Major
+. NJ. Carr was made permanent chairman
and his speech was much more radical
free silver than Wright's had been Sound
money"
Carr's Address Loudly Applauded.
Nearly every sentence of Cars speech
was applaudetl, 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 convention broke into wild cheer
ing and calls for Boics were frequent. AZ
ter n vain attempt to get Boies to speak
the organization of the convention was
completed and it was ready for business.
