Metal-Boies Plank.

Laramie, Wyo., May 21-The demo-
cratic state convention held here to-
day was controlled entirely by the free
silver element of the party and adopt

States to the end that they may not
only produce adequate revenues. but be
so adjusted as to afford proper protec-
tion to American Industries without
fostering trusts, and to insure that
wholesome degree of protection to con-
sumers and laborers which Is their
right to receive. Further we favor the
system of specific rather than ad val
orem duties on imports" The resolu-
tion was tabled by a heavy vote.
The platform adopted consists of one
plank only as follows:
Whereas, The paramount issue be-
fore the American people is the cur
rency question; therefore be 1t
Resolved, That we demand the free
and unlimited coinage of silver and
gold into primary redemption money
at the ratio of 16 to l without waiting

Helena. May 21.-Governor Richards
to-day granted Bill Gay a respite of two
weeks. fixing the date OF execution on
June g. Gays only hope now lies in
the governor, as the supreme court will
not issue writ OF error in his case
Application was made TO Associate Jus
tice Harlan OF the United States su-
preme court for the writ, but he decid-
ed there was no federal question invol-
ed as alleged. and declined to grant the
petition. That action takes away all of
Gays hope for a new trial, as there Is
no probability that any justice of the
supreme court can be induced to take
the matter up now that Justice Harlan
has passed upon IL.
Gays counsel when they petitioned
the governor yesterday for 80 days re-
spite, did not know whether the appli-
cation for the writ of error had been
made or not. Governor Richards re-
solved to find out before acting on the
petition and telegraphed Senator Car
ter, who replied to-day that the appli-
cation had been refused. The governor
Informed Colonel Sanders of the news
and the latter then appealed for more
time In which to present a petition for
Communication of sentence and affidavits
bearing on the case.
The respite of the governor is as fol-
lows: William Gay, a prisoner in the
county Jail of Lewis and Clarke county,
state OF Montana, under sentence of
death, having petitioned the governor
for respite of his sentence in order to
show cause why said sentence should
be commuted to Imprisonment for life,
and IL appearing that sufficient grounds
exist for granting a brief respite to af-
ford time for the submission of docu-
ments and evidence bearing on his case,
therefore 1. John L. Richards, governor
OF the state Of Montana. do hereby or
der that the execution of the sentence
in said case of the state of Montana VS..
William Gay. be deferred until the sth
day of June, A ID. 1896. between the
hours of 10 o'clock a. m. and o'clock
p. m. OF said date. The sheriff of Lewis
and Clarke county, state of Montana.
and all other persons are hereby direct
ed TO abide the conditions OF this re-
spite and commanded to respect this
order. and govern themselves accord
ingly."
Gays counsel will lose no time In pre-
senting petitions to the governor. Gay
himself is not discouraged. but thinks
that the governor will come TO his res
cue.
Frank Hoy was run over early this
morning while attempting to board an
eastbound freight at East Helena. and

He was dragged a short distance and
badly bruised about the body. Train

brought him to Helena at o'clock.
He was taken to st. Peters hospital.

lieved that he will live. He worked for

the platform but IL was rejected and not
reported to the convention:
I'm making this declaration we do not
ignore nor underestimate the importance
of the democratic doctrine that the parity
of coins made from the two metals of
which a double standard Is composed
should be faithfully and honorably main
tained. And while we believe a ratio
which has been substantially continued
for three-quarters of a century in the
most prosperous period OF our country's
history will prove equally efficient and
satisfactory II readopted now. still. II
when silver and gold are restored TO alb
solute equality before the law with equal
rights in the mints OF the nation and as
money OF final redemption reasonable ex-
perience shall demonstrate that parity at
the ratio aforesaid cannot be maintained
we pledge the democracy OF Iowa TO aid
by every means within its power in the
establishment OF a new ratio just 20 all
classes of our citizens alike by which
such parity shall be maintained.

n Grain and Chaff. ~

CAN the government, by passing a
law to that effect, make one bushel
OF wheat equal in value to one dollar
in gold? Every we'll informed person
will answer that question in the neg
ative and say the price OF wheat. the
same as everything else, must be reg
ulated by supply and demand in an
open market. Now suppose this ques-
ton be asked: Can the government,
by passing law to that effect, make
37A grains OF silver equal in value to
one dollar in gold? The free silver
coinage advocates will answer in cho-
rus: eyes, of course it cam Yet
the principle involved in both ques-
tons is exactly the same, and if the
government can do the latter it can
certainly do the. former.
