SOME ARE BIMETALLISTS
West Virginia Gold Democrats Not All for
the Single Standard

Wheeling, W. Va, Aug. 29.---The ma
tional Democratic gold party state con-
vention met in Wheeling today. Tenn
porary Chairman Benjamin Traphedl, Jr
of Charleston made an earnest address
that aroused the convention to a high
pitch of enthusiasm. He denounced the
Chicago convention and its nominee,
claiming fits acts were inspired by Popu-
lists and renegade Republicans and that
1t did not represent true Jeffersonian
Democracy. The National Democracy,
he said, can only look forward 10 defeat,
but it can assist in the triumph of the
cause of sound money. His reference to
Grover Cleveland as the greatest of the
iatter-day exponents of Jeffersonian De
mocracy was received with enthusiasm.
After recess the convention reas-
eembled and a fight ensued when the
report Of the committee on resolutions
was presented. The platform declared
for the single gold standard, the mainte
nance of law and order and non-inter-
ference with the supreme court. The
planks were vigorously aplpauded, the
mention Of President Cleye-and's name
being wildly applauded. Several dele
gates vigorously objected to the gold
standard and advised for bimetallism by
standing on the platform of 1892.
After an extended discussion the plat
form, as reported by the committee, was
adopted with a hurrah, pledging the
convention to the gold standard without
equivocation.
The platform declares against any
assault on the judiciary and also praises
President Cleveland's administration
as wise and patriotic.
a prominent figure in the convention
was w. III. Wilson, Postmaster General
Wilson's SON.
Delegates were chosen to the India
napolis convention and presidential elec
tors were chosen.
The question of an amendment of the
silver Democratic state ticket was TO
have come up but was referred to the
new party. Some of the leaders will
oppose an amendment
