HW NAME RECEIVED WITH OHEEES
This Convention McU, Adopt a Platform
ml Prepares for the Greatest Strug
gle In the State'! Illitory.
Associated Press.
Pes Moines, Iowa, Aug. 23. The dem
ocratic stale convention assembled here
today. Henry Vollmet of Davenport,
was chosen temporary chairman. Af
ter the committees had been announced
the convention adjourned to 2 p. m
The renomlnatton of Boles Is certain.
Governor Boles said this morning that
his letter declining to run a third time
was sincere,' but that he was willing to
subordinate his wishes to the wishes
of the-democratic party. The commit
tee on resolutions Insures conservative
silver, utterances. Henry Stivers, a
merilber of the , .committee from the
9th District," and a radical and free
silver man, was elected over his free
sllyer opponents of. Des Moines. In the
8th District, ' P. .0; Stuart, the free sil
ver candidate was defeated. On tak
ing the chair, Vollmer said:
We live; It Is' true, under a demo
cratic administration, both state and
national, 'but both In the state and In
the nation we are cursed by republi
can laws. Let us not forget, nor per
mit the people to forget that we still
have the "blessed McKinley bill," that
latest but most developed offshoot of
the poisonous plant protection. Let us
not forget, especially, that that .cow
ardly makeshift, denoounced by the
national platform last year, the Sher
man 'bill, discredited now by Its own
author, still stands upon our statute
books. Our party Is even held respon
sibly for the condlUon of the treasury
of the United slates. Yet' four years
ago It went out of power leaving a
surplus of 1100,000,000. Both the McKin
ley and Sherman bills have got to go,
and the people will sustain us In the
good work. In this state we are still
blessed with a set of blue laws, that
suggest the Ignorant Intolerance of the
dark ages rather than the broad mind
ed liberalism of these latter days of
the nineteenth century'.'
Governor Boles was renominated by
acclamation amid tremendous applause
Lieutenant Governor Bestow also re
ceived the renomlnatton. At this point
the report of the committee on plat
form was read and adopted. The reso
lution declared confidence in the ad
ministration of President Cleveland.
The present . unfortunate financial
stringency Is laid at the door of the
republican administration and congress
Is urged to give the country early re
lief. The Sherman act Is denounced as
a cowardly make-shift The resolution!
also demands the Immediate repeal of
the purchasing clause of trot act. In
the interest of true temperance the
resolution favors a carefully guarded
license tax law which shall provide
for " the issuance of licenses by the
vote of the people of the different dis
tricts of the state. "As a partial rep
aration fof the unjust confiscation of
private property' caused by the pro
hibitory law," says the resolution, "we
favor such legislation as will issue
permits to the manufacturers of spir
ituous, vinous, and malt liquors with
in the state thereby giving to our own
people at least equal rights in this re
spect with) manufacturers of other
states." . . ..
. The nominating then continued. John
Cleggett af Mason City, was nomin
ated for Judge of the supreme court;
ex-Congressman Tom Brown of Coun
cil Bluffs, for railroad commissioner,
and J. B. Knoepfler was renominated
for state superintendent of public in
struction. Before the adjournment of
the convention John P. Irish- of Cali
fornia, who has Just returned from
Washington, made a vigorous' speech
p favor of the repeal of the Sherman
law. "It is the duty of every demo
crat," said he, "to sustain the admin
istration. The democrats must sweep
from the statuta books every line of
the legislation passed by the republi
can party for expediency and self pow
er." . '
ADJOURNMENT OP CONGRESS.
Washington, August 23. Chairman
Wilson, of the committee on ways and
means, today said; "The committee
will probably prepare a general tariff
bill In accordance with the declaration
of the Chicago platform. I think It
quite probable that congress will ad
journ about the middle of September."

Associated Press.
Washington, Aug. 23. In the senate
today the resolution offered by Pfeffer
of Kansas, as to the violation of the
law by the National banks In declining
to pay depositors' checks In currency,
was taken up and a motion to refer It
to a committee on finance, (made by
Hoar, republican, of Mass.) gave rise
to a long! and somewhat exdtlng dis
cussion. Gorman pointed out that the
adoption of a resolution would be a
notice to the comptroller of the cur
rency who would immediately proceed
to enforce the law and thereby neces
sitate the closing of ther banks and
cause utter ruin to the country. The
cause of pfeffer was sustained by Sen
ator Hill who broke away from tha
leadership of Gorman and Voorhees
and in direct opposition to the position
taken by them, made several speeches
which showed division in the ranks.
III11 pluinly took a position which In
dicates that he has opinions and views
of his own not to be moulded by those
who have been considered leaders of
the democratic side in the senate. Hill
undertook to draft some modifications
of the resolution, but before he had
completed them the morning hour had
expired and the resolution went over
without action. The report of the com
mittee on privileges and election in fa
voring the seating of Lee Mantle as
senator from Montana, was taken up,
Arguments against the adoption of the
report and the admission of Mantle
were made by Galllnger and Piatt.
Turple and Chandler replied to some
of Piatt's points and Pasco replied to
Chandler. Hawley argued in favor of
the resolution. The debate was closed
by Hoar In favor of the majority re
port. Then at G:15 a vote was taken on
the substitute offered by Vance, de
claring Mantle was not entitled to a
scat. The vote resulted; Yeas, 3B; Nays,
30. The substitute wns agreed to. The
Following is the vote in detail:
Yeas Messrs. Berry Blackburn, Caf
fer, Coke, Cullom, Dixon, Faulkner,
Oalinger, Clephre, Gibson, Gray, Harris,
Kyle, Lindsay, McMlllun, McPherson,

I'ubco, Pfeffer, Plait, Proctor, Ransom,
Smith, Stockbrldge, Vance, Vest, Vilas,
Washburn, White, (California) and
White, (fwa). Total, 35.
Munduwm who had changed his
vote from nay to yea In order to make
a motion to reconsider, made that mo
tion. A motion to lay the motion to re
consider on the table was made by
Vance, but without action on it, the
senate adjourned till tomorrow, leav
ing the Lee Mantle case still open,
