NATIONAL DEMOCRATS
Of Massachusetts Name a State Tcket-They
 Oppose Ftee Silver.

Boston, Mass, Oct. 1.-The state con- vention of the democratic national party of Massachusetts (gold democra'ts) met today and nominated di,e following ticket:
 Governor9Dr. William Everett.
 LieutenaI. I.lGove1nor-James E. Collier.
 Seere'tary-,Begnard lM. Wolf.
 Treasurer and Reo.ver-General-H ace P Tobey.
 Auditor-Haquy Douglas.
 A.torns y-lGeneral - fWiliJam McCl2nch.
 The platform opens With the following declarations regarding lhe euIrency::
 Wa adhere and insist upon the main- tenance of the present gold standard. We believe that the free coinage of silver at a ratio of 16 to 1, when the commercial ratio is nearly 40 to l, would be de5truc- tive to the interests of wage-earners, of depositors in savings banks, of the in- sured and of the wlole people. We be- lieve that the payment of debts, public CT private, in dollars of less intrinsic value than those in which they were contracted is dishonorable md dishonislst. Therefore we ne-affirm ollr allegiance to the principles which guided Jefferson, Jackson and Cleve land-that 1t s the sole function of the government to ad- just monetary values, to provide stand and Of value and maintain metallic standard which shall be of an equal in trinsic value that nothing but this coined money shah hIa legal tenders; and that the government shall not carry on a banking busiess.
 We demand that some safe plan shall be devised whereby our legal tender paper and silver certificates shall be withdrawn and a banking system under proper contCol be established through which adequate banking facilities may be furnished to all sections of the coun- try.
 We believe that currency based upon business assets and issued upon proper safeguards, responds automati- cally to the necessities of commerce and permits the issue of an elastic medium of exchange in those sections where 1t is most needed for the creation of new enterprise and the employment of American labor.

New York, Oct. 1.-Evening Posts London financial cablegram:
 A further improvement was noted in the stock markets today. Business is spreading in every department with a thoroughly healthy tone.
 Americans were exceptionally dull for the greater part of the day. but 'there was sharp rally tonight on New York support, which it is believed here will be continued. The close was at the best It. is difficult to say how far the public here will respond, probably those re- gently in the market will now take fresh hand, but the new business is like " to be attracted to mines. West Aus tralian minss have been booming for the past few days. Home railways we're good, while in the foreign market the strength of Spanish and Argentine se- curfties was the feature. Copper stocks were strong.
 The Paris bounse was firm on the buy ing of Tintos and the Berlin market was steady.

It was also reported that the quarantine had been raised at Houston and Gal weston.
