PoLnIcS IN VARIOUS STATES.
Bland and Free SILVER for Missouri Dom
ocrats-some Republican Conventions.
Sedalia, Mo-, April l6.-Free silver,
sixteen to one. This tells the whole
story of the democratic state conven-
ton. The ring of theswhite metal is
the music to which the democrats of
Missouri must march this fall. Free
silver ard "Silver Dick" Bland for
president. Never before was con-
vention better organized before it was
called to order, never before was con-
vention more of one mind, and never
before did a convention follow more
absolutely the lines marked out for it
by the managers. 5
Gov. William J. Stone proposed the
Endorsement of Richard Park Bland
for the democratic nominal zion for pres
ident, and the convention Endorsed him
by reclamation. The delegates did not
know until the last moment this would
be done, as Mr.. Bland has repeatedly
said that he would not allow it, but
when they saw that it was in the cards
they acquiesced with cheer. There
was no wild scene such as sometimes
marks conventions, but nevertheless
strong sound of applause.
Omaha, Neb., April 16.-The action of
the Nebraska republican delegate con-
vention held here Wednesday evening
must be taken as meaning the repudia-
ton of the McKinley-Manderson COM
promise and the acknowledgment by
the republican party that Senator John
NJ. Thurston is its most popular son.
Gen. Manderson's name will not be
mentioned at St. Louis, and Nebraska
will send solid delegation to the ma
tional convention, pledged for McKin-
ley first, last and all the time.
The platform pronounces against free
coinage, and in favor of protection and
reciprocity, vigorous foreign policy,
enforcement of The Monroe doctrine,
restoration of merchant marine, Amer
lean markets for American products, en-
tends sympathy to Cuban patriots, and
demands recognition for them as beliger.
ents.
Fargo, N. D., April 1e.-The republic
an convention just closed in this city
was one of the most enthusiastic in the
history of the state, and in some re-
spects it was the most interesting. Free
silver was turned down. The delegates
to the St. Louis convention were in
structed to use all honorable means to
support Mckinley.
Tacoma, Wash, April 16-The silver
men in the democratic state convention
had an all-day fight for silver platform
and silver delegation instructed to
vote for free-coinage candidate for
president. President C!eveland's admin
istration was Endorsed. A free-silver
resolution was adopted, but the dele
gates were not instructed.
Louisville, KY, April 1.-THE Ken
lucky republican state convention is
over, and as a result Gov. Bradley enters
the presidential race with the vote of
his own state behind him. McKinley's
followers, however, are not downcast
| over the outlook, as the resolutions
passed are couched in terms which
should satisfy his most ardent advocates
in the Blue Grass state. The delegates
from Kentucky go to St. Louis pledged
to vote for Bradley until his name is
withdrawn and in that event to go to
Mckinley.
Portland, Me-, April 1.-THE repub-
lican state convention to nominate six

no platform, save the record Of his life.
Under his administration, his public ef-
forts conspicuously show, would be re-
stored that republican policy of protection
taught by Lincoln, illustrated by the signal
prosperity of the country for 30 years and
rounded out by the reciprocity of Blaine,
| a policy which would be adapted to the
business of the country and adjusted with
care from time to time to the changed con-
ditiOns.
He is opposed to the free and unlimited

agreement and until such agreement can

standard should be maintained. He favors
measures for the restriction of 1mmigra-
ton. He favors just administration of
all pension legislation and is an earnest
friend of American shipping and it's re-
turning to it's former rank in the world"
Trenton, N. j., April 1.-THE repub-
ican state convention held here to elect
delegates to the st. Louis convention
