Convention ut indianapolis.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 26.-The gold
standard Democrats of Pennsylvania
met in convention in this city, nomi-
mated presidential electors and dele
gates to the national convention to be
held In Indianapolis on Sept. 2 and
adopted q vigorous platform responsive
TO their views on the money question
and denounced in unmeasured terms
the nominees chosen and the principles
declared at Chicago.
With this convention a new state
party came into existence TO be known
as the "Jeffersonian party" singularly
enough, its birthplace was Musical
Fund hall, where, 40 years ago was
held the first national convention Of
the Republican party. The word

party could not be infringed upon.
The platform declares that the Chi

allegiance TO the Allentown platform.
