ask the man.
"He whose name we shall announce fol
your consideration, comes not as gues
or sojourner to this great national coun
Gil. He comes as member and inmate
of the family to his house and home,
wherein he has gained the right of domi
clle by lifelong fealtY to the cause ot
American ID emocracy.
upon the issue of the tariff, of federal
election laws, of the liberty of the citi
zens, of the disposition of the public do
main, to actual settlers only, in opposi.
tion to all subsidies to private corpora
tions, in favor of the rights and privi-
leges of organized labor and of still fur
ther legislation toward that benefcient
end, our candidate has stood with US, and
for us, through mssay years of heated
quarrel and debate and upon that ques-
tion now SO conspicuous his opinions
have long been known, and have often,
both in his own state and elsewhere, been
the subject of the most public and ex-
pliclt declaration.
"Our candidate believes in the immediate
restoration of silver to the full franchise
of the mint, that the standard silver dollar
should be coined at the ratio of 16 to l, as
was formerly by law established, and
when so coined that it shall be a legal
tender for all debts.
"He is not in favor of awaiting the action
of European nations upon this sub bject
and perceives no reason for deferring or
postponing our legislation for the re-
monetiZation of silver to suit the conven-
ience, assent or agreement of other gov
ernments.
"Ardently mpathizing with the repub-
lie of Cuba he is strongly attached to the
doctrine of Monroe.
EVERY INCH AN AMERICAN.
Gan American in every fiber, he would
resist foreign aggression in any form. He
heartily denounces as unAmerican, the
Republican platform adopted not long
since at st. Louis, which would maintain
and continue in this country that alien
rule of foreign policy the English single
standard of gold, and which proposes at
this time to reduce the government and
the people of the United States financial
ly to their ancient condition as colo
nial possession of the British crown. He
thinks that the freedom and independ
ence of the mint and coinage of the
United States are as necessary to our ma
tlonal prosperity as any other of our
liberti ssthat rights once ours, now lost
from whatever causes, must and shall be
regained.
'Thus the state, the man, the cause are
merged at last into one. The one re.
quest, the single entreaty, the momentous
ultimate appeal, an appeal to your wis
dom, to your serious Judgment, to your
most discreet discernmant.
O"And now, therefore, in pursuance, of
the instructions of the united Democracy
of our state expressed in convention of
the unanimous action of the delegates
here present, do in all confidence place in
nomination as candidate for the presi-
dency the name of Claude Matthews, of
Indiana"
At 1890, when Turpie concluded, the
commotion was 80 great especially in the
galleries that the chair threatened to bar
all spectators out of the hall. This had
quoting effect.
