irridescent nor nieteoric statesman, but OF
Of the people and from the people,
who have never faltered for an In
stant in the great struggle. Others
doubted and wavered, son.e yielded to
Establishments and patronage and are
now holding Office under the gold power;
oth hers mIsrepresented their constituents
and have been provided f2r In the ma
tional infirmary OF the present admins
tration, but Richard Parks Bland stands
now where he stood tnen, the living,
breathing embodiment of the silver
cause. He struck with steel point the
golden shield OF the money monopolists,
as did Ivanhoe that OF the proud lem
plar In the lists at Ashby and has neither
asked nor given quarter. Nor Is be
narrow, one ideaed man, For ~ years
In Congress he fought in the front ranks
for democratic principles and policies,
as taught by Jefferson.
He stood blythe side OF Kendall and
rislsed health sand life to defeat the first
force bill. He opposed ably and earn est
ly the crowning tariff infamy, the Me-
Kinley'act, ana again was among the
foremost opponents Of the last force bill
which passed the house, but was defeat
ed in the Senate.
He introduced the first free coinage
measure in Congress and was tho author
OF the seigniorage bill which passed both
houses end was vetoed by President
Cleveland.
IL this be an obscure record, where can
be,found a career OF any public servant
which deserves the plaudits OF his
countrymen.
The Democrats OF Missouri, who have
passed thorugh the fiery furnace OF Re
publican prescription seven times heated
and whose State flag has always been
placed beneath the great oribame OF the
national Democracy. make no apology
or excuse In Offering such candidate
for the Presidency.
II you ask "Whence comes our candi-
date?" we answer : " Not from the
usurers' den nor Temple of Mammon,
where the clink Of gold browns the voice
of patriotism, but from the farm, the
workshop, the mine, from the hearts and
homes OF the people,"
10 reject him IS to put brand upon
the rugged honesty ana undauuted cour-
age and to chill the hearts and hopes OF
those who during all those years have
waited for this hour OF triumph. 10

that OF the people and to insure success.

possible, for In the two contests which
followed, which In many respects have no
parallel in the history OF American poll
tics, Horace Boies came OFF victorious and
thus did he forever avert the danger OF
having veritable despotism upon the
fruitful soil OF q free State. A soldier
can show his courage only In battle; a
sailor his fearlessness only while a storm
Is raging; the firemen in great city can
only exhibit that sublime type OF hero
ism which We all 80 much admire during
the time OF an actual conhagration,
when property is to be saved and i'm
perilled lives are to be rescued; so a
statesman can only show his real capac-
ity, can only demontrate the full measure
OF his wisdom and power during crisis
II is only during an actual crris that the
higher qualities Of statemaDsbip can be
developed and tested. That Horace
Boies possesses this rarest of all human
capacities, the power to rise equal and
superior TO crisis and control IL IL at
tested by this history OF our State and
concurrent testimony OF political friends
and foe. This Is the man who stands
before the American people equipped
with these supreme qualifications that We
ask this convention TO nominate.
Upon the oyershadowing issue OF this
campaign Governor Boies stands upon an
invulnerable platform, the constitution
tuition in defining what the State should
use as "legaf tender in the paymentsof
debts" designates not gold or silver,
but goh and silver, Governor Boies be-
lieves that the bimetallic system thus
provided for in the fundamental law OF
the land is the system the Democratic
party must endorse ana uphold. he be-
licves that SO long as the Constitution
remains unchanged that Congress has no
power to demonetize either metal. Hence
in common with the great mass OF
American people he believes
that the decentralization OF silver was
not an ordinary political blunder, but an
condition which can possibly arise that
would justify the Democratic party In
justifying that crime or in helping to
perpetuate its dfreful results, Governor
Boies does not believe in dishonest
fifty cent dollar, as it would work an in
Jury to the creditor class, neither does
he believe in the two hundred cent dol
lar which is still more dishonest, as 1t
unquestlonably involves the bankruptcy
OF the debtor class.
Governor Boies believes In an honest
American dollar authorized not by the
parliament but by law OF the Ameri-
can Congress and coined for use among
the American people.

DIED OF APOPLEXY.
Hon. Frank Hurd Passes away
Suddenly at Toledo, Ohio.
He Was Leader Among Free Traders
While He Served In Congress.

TOLEDO, July 10-The Hon. Frank A..
Hurd died very suddenly few minutes
before O'Clock this morning. His death
was caused by several strokes OF apo
plexy, the first occurring at 2 o'clock
yesterday afternoon, which was followed
by others in rapid succession.
Mr.. Hurd was one of the most eloquent
forceful free traders who ever sat in Con-
gress, ana was native Ohioian. lie was
born In Mount Vernon in 1S41 and gradu-
ated from Kenyon College. He studied
law and wss elected successfully prose-
cutting attorney and State Senator. Later
he framed the criminal code of his state.
His first election to Congress was to the
Forty-fourth Congress. After two years
absence from public life he was elected to
the Forty-sixth Congress, and then came
another break prior TO his election to the
Forty-eighth Congress. In Congress his
speeches on the tariff were always listened
to with close interest.

an inseparable factor in a conspicuous
rart, In the phenomenal history OF oLr
State. Let me beg OF this convention the
privilege of one glimpse of Iowa history.
As to the question OF Iowa being great
State, concerning the capacity or her soil
10 produce uniformly abundant crops,
will not deal. IL Is enough to say that
the diplomas awarded to Iowa by tho
management CT the Columbian Exposi-
tion is the official declaration which
secures to rs what had beon before con-
ceded by all, viz. the crowning glory of
standing at the head OF the long column
OF the agricultural States of this nation.
Neither drought nor food have ever been
powerful enough in Iowa TO constitute
what in other localities was a natural
calamity. i have raised 30 bushels OF solid
corn per acre, upon which not one drop
of rain fell from the time II came up
until the ear was fully grown. There Is
perhaps not another spot in this wide
world where such thing was possible.
But while we are easily supreme in the
corn field our Democrats have had a hard
road to hoe in politics. The torments
inflicted by the seven plaques of Egypt
must have been a solid chunk of comfort
compared TO iho treatment accorded Iowa
Democrats by the sixty, seventy aud
eighty thousand uninterrupted Repub-
lican majority, which for more than
an annual picnic out of the cleo
tion day and just for tho fun of
the thing, trsmpled the Iowa Democracy
into the very earth. This huge army Of
Repblican voters was dominated by the
spirit OF the inexplicable fana ticism and
the more we combaited this spirit the
fiercer IL grew. Naturally Democrats DO.
came disheartened and scarce. When
this Republican recklersness was nearing
tho eliminating point and through
sumptuary legislation every guarantee OF
personal liberty was endangered when
acts which throughout the civilized
world are regarded as natural and treat
ed as lawful were In Iowa defined as
crimes and compared To capital offences,
when the constitutional protection OF
trial by jury which for centuries had
been esteemed the very climax OF all the
glory of Anglo-Saxon civilization, when
this was able TO be exterminatcd from
our Judicial system and the cold, bar
tarous systein OF Russia was TO be SUBJ
stituted IN fact, when the whole ma.
chinery OF Ger local government, the
greatest OF all Democratic principles,
the priuciple OF home rule. vas ABOUT
10 be swept out of existence, when every
lover OF freedom wns on the point of de-
spairing, when there was no Democratic
leader in sight, wise ard bold enough
TO face the crisis there was heard the
voice OF one, speaking i'm tho wilder
ness, II was the magic voice OF Horace
Boics summoning disheartened mon to
heroic action. He II was who lcaped
boldly TO the very front aud alone dored
the seemingly irresistible column of an
erultsnt Toe. A Zoe that had never been
