In Gov. Matthew's Interest.
Senator Turpie of Indiana is among the
recent distinguished arrivals. He comes to
attend the national democratic convention,
to which he is a delegate Il aIn,'' he said,
''in the interest of Gov. Matthews for the
presidential nomination, as are all our In
diana delegates. We think him the most
available and when all things are con-
sidered the most acceptable man whose
name will be presented to the convention
He is man of excellent attainments, and
II elected President he would fill the office
acceptably to all parts of the country.
I'VE have nothing to say against other
candidates, but we claim for our man that
he has always been a democrat. and that
he is absolutely safe on the financial ques
ton We believe he will command greater
strength at the polls than will any other
aSpirant"
The Senator expressed the opinion that
the convention would declare unequivocally
for free coinage of silver and would sub
nit to no compromise proposition. On the
tariff, he said: Have you read our In
diana platform? We declare in that that
with the free mintage of silver our pres
ent tariff law will produce all the duty
necessary to support the government. We
stand by this declaration"

neck, chairman of the national executive
committee of the peoples party has return
ed from Chicago. where he has been in con-
sultation with the leading populists from
Illinois. Indiana and Iowa. He said:
so sure as any candidate at Chicago gets
the nomination by the support of the gold
delegations, the peoples party will put out
a ticket in the St Louis convention that
will get the solid Endorsement at the polls
of every friend of silver in the country, re-
garGlesS of party lines, and it will sweep
the country. In the light of the last few
days l think BANDS or Tellers nomination
at Chicago is the only thing that can head
off a separate ticket at st. Louis
