BOIES RECEIVES THE NEWS.
Thinks They Are Trying to Stampede
the Convention for Bryan.

WATERLOO Qa.), July Ex-Governor
Boies spent the day and evening receiv-
ing the convention news. When the
news of the Bryan demonstration came
he said: They are trying to stampede
the convention for Bryan. and it looks
as though they We're to succeed He
also observed that Bryan's strength
taken from Bland was remarkable He
added. Bryan would have big vote
in this State. The only thing against
him is his age. He is but 36-One year
beyond the constitutional requirement.
This division of strength will at least
make more than one ballot necessary"
The reporter suggested something
about Iowa's candidate.
In response, Governor Boies said:
"Oh we have nothing now but our own
State and possibly a few scattering
delegates We did have have a dozen
or more of the Southern States with us
until our delegation split on the vote
for the Temporary Chairman. That
was decidedly disastrous"

CONVENTION NOTES.
QUESTION AS TO HOW MANY
VOTES WILL NOMINATE,
In Case the New York and New Eng
land Delegates Decline to Vote
for Any Candidate.

CONVENTION HALL, July Of. as
is generally understood, the New York
delegation, accompanied by the men
from New England, decline to vote for
any of the candidates named, it becomes
a delicate parliamentary question as
to how many votes will nominate Will
it take two-thirds of the constituted
membership of the convention, which is
$780, or two-thirds of quorum?
Senator White, Permanent Chairman,
whose voice has given out, will not be
in the Chair. He declines to discuss the
question: but admits its delicacy.
Representative Richardson of Ten
nessee, who is temporarily in the Chair,
declines to say what ruling he will make
until he is confronted with the situation
He is a skilled parliamentarian, and has
carefully looked into the rules of the
House of Representatives, under which
the convention is operating, for the
purpose of reaching determination 1t
is intimated that he may rule that two
thirds of quorum is sufficient, but es-
cape from the dilemma is still a prob
lem.
There are two methods by which the
failure of the gold men to vote can be
overcome. Senator Hill holds that two
thirds of a quorum is sufficient to elect,
and the Committee on Rules may stop
proceedings and bring in a report alb
rogating the two thirds rule, thus
eliminating the necessity of meeting the
issue.
FORECAST OF THE FIRST BALLOT.
A forecast Of the first ballot shows the
following as the probable result: Bland
800, Bryan $50, Boies So, Blackburn
100, Matthews 80, Mclean 80, Patti
son Ga, not voting 121.

bravest soldier, the noblest pioneer in
the cause of free silver when the coun-
try's cause had few friends. His great
journal, filed with arguments in favor
of the people, was scattered every day
in the year, falling as silently as snow
flakes into the laps of the people of
twenty States, and that great organ did
more to educate the people and to de
velop the growth of bimetallism and
free silver than any one influence west
of the Allegheny Mountains.
Delegates, we hand over the claim of
John r. Mclean into your hands and
into your hearts, relying on the integ-
rity and gratitude of the great Demo-
cratic masses" (Cheers.)

EUROPEAN TRADE.
Can be Obtained by Sending Agents
Direct to Merchants.

NEW YORK, July Civilian D.
Warner, the United States Consul at
Cologne, has written the State Depart
ment that he has many inquiries from
American exporters as TO European
trade. He says all complain of a lack
of results.
Mr.. Warner says this is due princi-
pally to the fact that American busi-
ness men rely almost entirely upon
'circulars. They plaster German with
printed matter, all of which is ignored.
The only way to engage in trade is by
direct negotiations by personal work.
He advises the sending to Germany of
good agents, intelligent men acquaint-
ed with both the English and German
languages. He warns Americans also
not to stop with the establishment of
relations with German agents at the
seaports, but to send men into the in
terror and sell direct to merchants of
the inland cities and towns

WILL SUPPORT MCKINLEY.
The New York "Sun" Repudiates the
Democratic Platform,

NEW YORK, July 9.-The Sun" this
morning, in the following editorial, for
mally reDudiates the National Demo-
cratic platform and supports Mckinley
for the Presidency:
Southern poverty, engendered by the
war and the common discomfort stirred
up to recklessness by the agitation of
the past twelve years. have at last
blazed into a demand for the dAbased
coinage and tax ON wealth, Snd have
carried the National Democratic Con-
vention.
''Such platform cannot be accepted.
The United States was made Demo-
cratic, and it must remain so. Free sill
yer coinage would be national dishonor
and q monumental anachronism. Sill
Yer has had its day as the money stand
ard. The commerce of civilization,
which has used as a medium of ex-
change pretty much everything from
shells to the higher metals, has pro-
Sressed beyond silver. 1t has adapted
itself to gold, and to gold it will stick
until it finds something still more con-
venient.
The silver campaign is based on de-
lusions which have no justification, and
on statements which are not so. 1t
cannot prevail, and every sincere be-
lever in fair dealing and in business
honor as the foundation of commercial
prosperity must put aside all other pur-
poses and unite for its defeat
From now until the election day in
November the Presidential candidate
of every Democrat who favors honest
money, and who still hopes to crush the
enemies of the fundamental principles
he was bred in, should be, without hesi-
tation, evasion or prejudice, William
Mckinley

The candidacy of Blackburn, he said,
appealed to the whole Union of States,
and if named and elected he would be
no sectional President. His whole pub
lie career, covering a third of CEN
tury, had been a lifelong expression of
his sympathy with labor. He had
shown himself the peer of the ablest
man in Congress. His voice had been
heard in forty-five. States in advocacy
of Democratic principles. He was mod
est yet not wanting in that finer ambi-
ton which made men pure; his honor
impregnable, and his simplicity sublime.
(Cheers) Rhea added that if it were the
will of this convention that Blackburn
should remain in his present field of ser
vice his voice would be raised in be-
half of any other candidate that might
be named.
w. w. Foote of California, in second
ing the name of Blackburn, added to the
recent incident by saying his candidate
was not "being paraded around here by
any Joan of Arc" This was greeted
with laughter. He eulogized Blackburn s
character and services. and his remarks
were well received.

Governor Boies does not believe in
a dishonest fifty-cent dollar, as it would
work an injury to the creditor class,
nor does he believe in a two-hundred-
cent dollar, which is still more dishon-
est as it unquestionably involves the
bankrupt debtor class. Governor Boies
believes in an honest American dollar,
authorized not by the British Parlia-
ment, but by law of the American
Congress and coined for use among the
American people We believe in a gold
dollar of ODD grains of gold and a sill

A Boies demonstration was started by
the Iowa delegation, but no progress
was made until two young women
dressed in white in the south gallery
stood up and wildly waving their arms
began shrieking for Iowa's Governor.
Somebody handed one of them couple
of flags, and by this time the attention
of the whole convention was directed
toward them and everybody faced that
way. The Boies banner was handed to
them and between them they managed
to wave it few times and then sank
back in their seats exhausted.
After a brief rest one of them rose
again and was escorted to the floor,
everybody standing on chairs to see the
sight and cheering and laughing as the
enthusiastic lady, escorted by some
male friend with his arm around her
waist, danced all around the hall. The
name Of the author of this extraordi-
nary excitement was stated to be Miss
Minnie Murphy of Nashua, Iowa She
said she was only % years of age.
1t was 11:15 when this scene collapsed
and the fair IoWan and her escort set
tied down in seats among the Iowa del
egaton. The extraordinary episode last
ed nearly half an hour.
AS soon as a slight degree of order
was restored the name of Boies was
seconded by A. T. Smith of Minnesota,
who characterized the candidate as the
grand old man of the Hawkeye State"
IF it had not been for Horace Boies, -
said Mr.. Smith, there would be no sill

Michigan had just been carried for the
