FORTY-OXE STATES REPRESENTED
Temporary Organization, fTecled With
Flower as Chairman He Makes
a Spirited Address. N
'Indianapolis, Sept. 2. A bright
morning greeted the delegates to the na
tional gold Democratic contention. The
N. city streets surrounding the hotels were
gay with banting and flags. The arrival
of delegates from nearby and far West
ern states added to the ' general con
fusion, and bands kept up a merry
- round of music. There was a general
lack of noisy demonstration, although
there were plaudits and sometimes jeers
from the crowd that surrounded the
hotel lobby. Orators, bankers, mer
chants, lawyers, railroad men formed
the great mass of the delegates. All
but four states are represented with full
delegations. Railroad men estimated
that there were over . 8,000 people, dele
gates and strangers, in the city. Chi
cago furnished a large proportion, in
cluding the ' Cook - County Marching
Club, 200 strong.
Promptly at 11 o'clock the doors lead-,
ing to Tomlinson hall were opened, ad
mission being confined to ticket-holdere,
who arrived slowlyv-. 'The decorations in
' the -hall, in ' which gold was the most
conspicuous color, 'were beautiful. A
gold eagle with wings ' outstretched, sur
mounted - a sunburst, A band was lo
cated in the' gallery at the rear of the
hall. Many early arrivals In the gallery
were ladies. . Mrs. Hendricks, widow of
' the late 'vice-president, was one of the
first distinguished persons to appear in
the reserved seats. General Bragg
moved to a seat At the head of the Wis
consin delegation, and was uproariously
applauded. When Colonel W. C. P.
Breckenridge, with snow white hair and
beard, entered at the head of the Blue
- Grass delegation, the galleries cheered.
At noon Senator Palmer, of Illinois,
chairman of the national' committee,
made bis way to the platform.. The gal
leries. were about half filled and the
V , main body of the delegates were in their
seats. ' - . " ' ..' -
-The -entrance of the Florida delega
tion, beaded by two. burly negroes, one
, carrying a portrait of Cleveland, the
other a gold alligator, bearing the words
"A Gold Bug," created a flurry of ap-
plauee. . v ,'.'."
Headed by , ex-Governor Flower and
. General Tracy, the New York delega
tion marched to its seats 72 strong, to
' . .the sound of continuous hand-clappings.
Each delegate wore in his buttonrhole a
v spray of golden rod. ' . :
Senator Palmer rose at v 12:30. and
' struck the gavel. Thereupon most of
. the delegates' jumped to their feet shout"-
ing and waving the state banners, .end
. ing the demonstration with three cheers.
After calling the convention to order,
- the chairman said : . " ' ':'
, - ,, Gentlemen, I have the honor for the
-. ."moment to preside over (be first national
convention held in the year 1896 (cheers).
We are assembled .here for a noble
and patriotic purpose . (cheers). : Our
earnest desire is to serve our country.
(Cries of "Right, right' and cheers , and i
. in the sincerity of that -earnest purpose
. we. may appeal to the Judge" of All
Hearts (applause). We may appeal to
. the Great Master, the Great Governor.
I beg you now to listen o -the invocation
. ; by Bishop Wbite.of the diocese of Indian
apolis.' ' - -.
Idaho, Nevada,- Utah and Wyoming
' -.. were the only states whose names passed
.unanswered. 'Alaska's eingle represent
, tative was cheered. Arizona, Oklahoma
- and Indian territory had no' spokesman.
Senator Palmer introduced Mr. Kren
. nan, of Wisconsin, who read the report
of the national committee. " The recom
mendation ihat the'mlea "which gov
erned the rast Democratic convention,
which was held in, 1892, should govern
this convention," was cheered- to r the
echo. 'The Teport-recommended ex
Governor Flower, of New York, for tem

Bragg on the Money Question.
' Indianapolis, Sept. 2. A report was
printed in a morning paper, that late
last night some of Bragg's friends dis
covered that no longer ago than' 1893
Bragg had written a letter in support of
free silver, and that they had decided ts
drop him and take np Vilas or Black of
Illinois. . ".
"I would stake my homestead," sad
Vilas today, "on my ' conviction that
there is absolutely no truth in the story.
Bragg voted tor the experimental Bland
Allison act of 1873, and was then In the
best of Democratic company. . Since
then Bragg has been absolutely sound
on the money question." '"Wisconsin,"
Vilas continued, "is for Bragg, and will
continue to be for hin." '
Bragg himself ejaculated characteris
tically : ' V - '
"Fiddlesticks, there is not a" word of
troth .in the report My action 18 years
ago is the only thing that can be brought
against me. It is not probable that a
man who bad to pay 40 percent premium
for United States money when he cross,, t
the border of free-silver", Mexico' 'wou'd
write a letter after that 'experience for
the Bilver standard." 1 " "'-' .

Jacob Connor, sn old and highly re
spected resident of Cove, Union county,
left his home last Friday to go to the
pasture to bring in a horse, and it was
on this errand that he met his death,
although the facts were not discovered
until the day following. ' He was leading
one animal, and riding another, and,
from the indications, it appears that the
horse, be was leading pulled back, caus
ing him to fall to the ground - backward
and resulting in his neck being broken.
It is probable that death was almost in
stantaneous, and that it was " fully 24
hours after death that the body was
found. v- ' . ' .
