Raleigh. N. c.. June 25.-The demo-
cratic convention was called to order
and Theodore Klutz made temporary
chairman. A recess was taken until Q
o'clock. When the convention reas-
sembled, the platform committee made
its report. The plank relating to fin
ancial affairs Is as follows:
I'VE favor, Independently Of other
nations. the free and unlimited coinage
OF silver and gold without discrimina-
ton against either. at the present legal
ratio of 16 to I, and we condemn the
system. which In a time of peace. has
forced the government within the peri
cd Of two years. to issue $262. 100000 OF
bonds, In order to maintain Its credit
upon a single standard and q gold ba-
sis."
Paul B. Means precipitated the flnan-
cial question by offering straight gold
standard amendment for the silver Sec
ton. When he mentioned President
Cleveland as my ideal man Of all the
world" there was a storm Of Kisses
and yells of derision. The gold plank
was lost by a vote Of SIS to 81.
Cyrus B. Watson was nominated for
governor and Thomas w. Mason for
lieutenant governor.
