ance- A few more indignant protests
| from ex-senator Martin OF Kansas and
others and a final word OF admonition
from Chairman Richardson sufficed 20
silence the crowds.
TRIPLETT SECONDS.
| There was comparative quiet when
Oscar A Tripiett OF California arose
to second the nomination OF Matthews
He said:
| Mr.. Tripplet, seconding the nomina-
ton OF Governor Matthews, said:
Gentlemen OF the convention: Cal
| hornia is the greatest gold producing
! state in the Union but knowing this
great fact and the advantage she would
+, gain by reason OF a single gold standard
she is not jealous of her silver produc-
/ ing sister states and joins with the peo-
pie for the free and unlimited coinage OF
silver at the ratio of 10 10 1. In recog-
milton OF the wishes of her people. the
Republican party Of the great state sent
I TO the recent convention at st. Louis. a
delegation instructed in favor OF free
and unlimited coinage OF silver. That
| delegation returned 10 their homes IN
defeat and disgrace. wearing the gold
badges of Wall Street and the money
sharks OF Europe.
" assembled in the largest and most en-
thusiastic convention ever held within
the state and also instructed its dele
gates TO this convention TO vote as a
unit for the free and unlimited coinage
of silver at the ratio OF 10 10 l. The
delegates TO this convention will return
20 their homes flushed with victory, to
receive the plaudits of grateful people.
At St. Louis was heard the voice Of
Wall STREET, at which England reioiced.
Today is heard the voice of the people OF
America and John Bull will groan.
How often have We heard from the
Republican platform the denunciation
OF the Democratic party for a fancied
alliance with England. and now this
same party with singular inconsistency,
has joined heart and soul with England
against the interests Of a suffering peo-
pie.
This convention having adopted a
Platform which declares in favor OF the
honest money OF our forefathers, the
delegates OF the empire state OF the Pa
cffic coast desire the nomination by this
convention of a man in harmony with
the principles announced. This great
state extends her hands toward the At
lantic Seaboard and asks 10 be met half
way and that a western man be selected
as the nominee OF this convention.
Without wishing 10 say aught in dis
arrangement of other gentlemen whose
names have been presented 10 this con-
ventfon, / take pleasure in seconding
the nomination OF Governor Matthews
OF Indiana This is a convention Of the
people, and what Is more proper for this
convention to do than to select as a
standard bearer a man who comes from
the great common people---the farmers
of the United States. Like a Cincin-
natus. he was called from the pillow TO
preside over the destinies Of the great
state OF Indiana, and so fully has he
met every expectation that he has
sprung into national repute more quick
ly than any other man OF his generation.
ST think. with other delegates coming
here from the Pacific slope, that IL this
convention viii nominate this distfn-
guished citizen of the middle west, he
win lead to victory the Democracy in
Novenb er''
WHITE NAMES BOIEs.
Delegate Frederick White OF Iowa,
placed Horace Boies IN nomination.
Mr.. White. Who looked like a plain far
mer proved to be forcfble speaker,
and spoke as follows:
Mr.. Chairman and gentlemen OF the
convention 1 am authorized by the
Democracy of Iowa to present to this
convention, for the nomination TO the
high office OF president, the name OF
Horace Boise, Of our state. want to
assure this convention In advance that
this is not the result OF any question OF
mere local pride nor is 1t the result OF
any consideration of the question OF
mere availability. We ask you TO
nominate the candidate of our choice
upon far broader grounds, upon the
broad grounds that Horace Boise is
emphatically a broad minded man.
Those of us who know him best do not
hesitate either here or elsewhere to de-
clare with all the confidence that a
thorough knowledge OF the truth can
inspire that he is a man OF staunchest |
character, possessing a powerful per-
sonality and equipped with a combina- |
ton Of mental qualities that will make |
him, II elected, an ideal executive |
Knowing as we all do that the political |
situation of the country is a grave and |
ominous one, this convention must not |
ignore nor evade the responsibility this |
situation creates, which Is, 10 give 90 |
the American people a candidate. the
mention of whose name, wherever
known, will carry with IL an overwhelm-
ing strength and stand. in case OF cleo
ton. an unqualified guarantee for the
entire safety IN the coming four years
OF all political affairs. the just settle
m ent OF every pressing question and the
speedy Inauguration of vigorous reign

Neither in formulating a policy nor
IN the execution OF the same, nor yet
In presenting an argument upon the
merits or dement's OF any public cues
ton, has Governor Boise ever striven
IN the least degree 20 create a sensa-
ton. To his everlasting honor II must
be said that N the doing Of these things
he has never failed TO make a deep
impression This Is the IDEAL test |
oy which the capacity OF the public
nan should be judged: this is the high

reliability and usefulness should be
ascertained and determined II you
