Democrats Declare UncqufvOcnliy for
the Gold standard.
CONCORD, N. H., May 2o.-The New
Hampshire democratic state convention met
today to choose delegates-at-large to the
national convention Hon. Harry Bingham
presided. In brief address Mr.. Bingham
said the national platform must be broad
enough for very true democrat to stand upon
and its declarations so plainly expressed as
to be capable of only one construction; and
that the nominees for president and vice
president must be men whose lives and
records are in harmony with the platform.
After the committee on credentials had re-
ported the chairman on resolutions sub
mitted his report.
The platform Is as follows.
Under present conditions there can be
but one standard of value, and that every
kind of currency should rest upon gold
basis, so long as gold is the standard recog-
nized by the great commercial nations of
the world and We heartily commend the
action of President Cleveland in so firmly
maintaining our public credit and faith in
the face of formidable opposition"
In other planks the platform declares for
a tariff for revenue cnly in favor of vigorous
maintenance of the Monroe doctrine and
against prescription On account OF religious
opinions.
The platform was adopted without dis
senting voice. as was the report Of the COM
mittee on reorganization of the state COM
mittec which was then submitted.
The following delegates -at-large were Sc
lected by acclamation: Hon. Frank Jones
of Portsmouth; Hon. Alvah w. Sulloway
of Franklin; Hon. Irving w. Drew Of Ian
caster, and Colonel Charles A. Sinclair Of
Portsmouth. Alternates, Frank N Chase Of
Somerworth, Sylvester II. Danforth of Cen
cord. Colonel Frank G. Noyes of Nashua, and
William A. Plummer of Laconia. The con-
ypntion then adjourned.

Here Friday ana Saturday.

If some good muscular philanthropiSt will
only be so kind as to get a hammer-lock or
double Nelson on Old Jupiter Puvius for n
couple of days we may get a chance to
see couple of first class ball games. Thus
far this spring the moist god has beat us

farmer wants to put in his corn and the
cranks want to see a ball game. Friday

University club team will have Il couple of
stiff arguments on its hands, as on these
dates the Iowa State Agricultural college
team will be here. This team this year Is
the strongest in the history of the insttu-
tion and about the fastest in the state.
The team has G. C. Miller for its captain.
Miller, ts = senior and has held his place
behind the bat Cor two years before this.
He is catcher of the first order and is
clever with the stick. Zuiser and Ander-
son have both pitched some great games.
the brakes never got a hit off nuiser. In
the game with Grinnell college, May ., the
Grinnell men got but two hits off Ander-
son. Howell, on first base; stops everything
second when Zuiser pitches has played this
position all season with scarcely an error.
He is long, wiry chap and a batter of
the first class. Kyle has played fine ball
much praise. Both played with the college
team last year and are two of the strongest
men on the team. In the outtield Sexton.
Reynolds and Kettleson have kept up the
standard of the team in fielding. Sextons
running catch in the Grinnell game has
