ELECTORS NOMINATED.
Convention of Massachusetts Rppubh
cans for That Purpose.

Boston, Oct. 1.-The Massachusetts
republican state convention met here to-
day for the nomination of presidential
electors and state officers. The pro-
ceedings were harmonious and the work
of the convention was accomplished with
celebrity.
Ex-Governor Bracket and w. l.. Hale
were designated as electors at large
Roger WOlcott. who has filled the
executive Office since the death of Gov
ernor Greenhalge. was unanimously
nominated for governor. For lieutenant
governor, VI. Murray GRANGE, secretary
of state, w. NJ. DIN; treasurer and re-
ceiver general, Gen. Il. p Shaw: audi
tor. John w. Kimball; attorney general,
Hoza NJ Knowton.
Al the beginning the platform says
that the republican party of Massachu-
sets has neither past professions to
allure nor new principles to announce"
The declaration on the currency and
tariff questions are as follows:
"A sound money system, stable
money unit: the scrupulous observance
i'll the letter and spirit of every public
obligation. The enactment of tariff
laws which will provide revenue ade-
quate for the payment of the rational
expenditures and gradual reduction of
the national debt, promote the policy of
reciprocity, protect American Industries
and American workingmcn and preserve
our own markets to our own people,
After indorsing the platform of the
st. Louis convention the Massachusetts
platform continues:
'Blt the duty of this hour demands
something more than the statement of
articles of our party creed. Mindful of
the utterances of those who gathered at
Chicago under the name of democracy.
we are conscious that the success of our
cause means more than the determine
ton of party ascendancy and that we
have the right to appeal to broader
constituency than the membership of the
republican party"
The financial plank of the Chicago
platform is condemned as sectionalistic
and the currency is discussed at some
length, after which the attitude of dem
ocracy towards the supreme court, as
set forth in the income tax plank, is de-
nounced as threat to degrade an in
strument for the registration of party
edcts, the independent tribunal cstab-
lshed by the fathers"
Issue is also taken with the Chicago
platform on the subject of the right of
the national government to interfere i'm
states in case of riots.

since 1879, has made every dollar of our
currency as good as gold. and for sew

of American money worth 100 cents on

In his response to delegation from
Portage county. Maj. Mckinley said:

the money of the United States from de-

MY friends, the platform upon which
the candidate stands declares in favor
of the maintenance of gold standard
until the leading commercial nations of
the world join us in abandoning it. Let
me read what the republican candidate
said six years ago in the discussion of
this Sherman bill:
81 am for the largest use of silver in
the currency of the country. l will not
dishOnor it. | will give it equal credit
and equality with gold. | would make
no discrimination. | would utilize both
metals as money and discredit neither.

He wants the gold standard now. What
change has taken place? (Applause.)
If the double standard was good six
years ago it is good now. Cries of
good. good.O Let me read further:
$50, | say, Mr.. Speaker, this bill is
Just to the silver producers of the United
States, for it does what the present law,
as administered by every administration
for ten years, has not done. 1t takes
every dollar of silver bullion that is pro-
duced in the United States and places
it at the disposal of the people as money
And yet the man who used that lam
gllage six years ago is standing upon n
platform which refuses to take single
dollar of the silver produced in this
country and put it at the disposal of the
people for money. (Applause)

Excursions from all the outlying towns
contributed to swell the crowds. At the
grove where Mr.. Bryan spoke he re-
ceived an enthusiastic reception. He
was cheered and applauded wildly when
he was introduced. He said in part:
Ladies and Gentlemen-I.et me state
two or three propositions for you TO con-
slider in the discussion of the money
question. The value of Il dollar may be
increased by legislation. If You want
money dear you can make it dear by
making it scarce. If you want money
to keep pace with prosperity. if you want
average prices to he maintained you can
maintain them only by increasing the
amount of money as rapidly as the de-
mand for money increases. There are
those who do not want more money. and
if they have control of legislation they
so legislate as not to create II large
amount of money. They want less money
because these money owners prOht by
n rising dollar. Suppose that Il man has
100000 invested in 1 per cent bonds
and draws $1,000 every three months.

doubling the interest that he receives.

times to be better than now. Why,

why those people are Indifferent to the

of some people that | believe many who
are now against bimetallism are against
it because of absolute ignorance of the
misery which their conduct is causing.
Great applause.) And yet | do not I'M
derstand how, in the midst of great
struggle like this, our opponents can keep
in ignorance of such subject and con-
tinue to advocate the gold standard.

Mr. Bryan then recited what Mr.. Car
Isle said in relation to corporations and
continues
