It would bo worse , he said , to open our f.ic
torles to foiolgn labor than to open our

liam McKinley. ' ho aukcd It was the patri

felt that theli homes needed protection , and
as certain as November came William .Mc

Ings following Mr Woodniamicu was cheued
President McAlpin iiroso and delivered his
nnnuiil nildiess , which was ut > follows
"It I nmlcistand the picsent conditions

exact and most responsible cause for the
present public unrest and uncertainty. Many

FALLACY OF BRYANISM.
"Wo are told by our political opponents re
cently assembled at Chicago that the gov
ernment shall coin the silver of the world
Into dollars actually worth 53 cents In
merchandise value and declare them worth
100 cents The government must , therefore ,
present from Its own fund of credit 47 cents
of value , or by statutory enactment rob Its
citizens of that amount of properly which
they have already accumulated For mjsclf ,
I protest against the existence of trusts , and
at the same time to compelling the govern
ment to take the entire product of ono field
ot Industry at a specific price , measured by
an absolute standard , and to disburse It at a
fictitious one. Such n course Is opposed to
the spirit ot our Institutions and contrary
to the functions ot Rovcrnment The
nation's Integrity rests not alone upon thu
surplus In Its vaults , but In the reserve
power ot labor In Us cltlrcns and their ca
pacity and opportunity for cniplojment. To
continually draw upon the ono will as surely
dlsslpalc It as will frco values and abnormal
standards destroy the other
"I have full faith In the honesty of the
American people I do not believe that they
can bo deceived Into doing what is for their
own personal disadvantage , any more than
the ) can be led to turn their backs upon a
line of policy which has made It possible for
them to gather and preserve what they have
I will esteem It my greatest honor to have
presided over jour deliberations If the re
sults of this convention shall tend to re
awaken our patriotism , stimulate our love
ot country and raise again to the gaze of the
peoples of the earth the banner of our
nation's honor and Integrity This can best
be accomplished by the election of McKinlej
and Hobirt and a congress that will take
care of the Interests of the whole people
for the greatest good to the greatest num
ber. "
Captain I. M I ) an , on behalf of the gen
eral committee of arrangements for the
convention , delivered a carefully prepared
political address
JudRo Raymond moved that resolutloas
bo referred to the committee without readIng -
Ing and thu motion prevailed

SAHATOOA , N V , Aug. 23. Thomas C.
Platt this morning refused positively to
allow the use of his name In connection
with the gubernatorial nomination , and said
ho would not accept If nominated. When
Mr. I'latt entered the hotel dining room he
saw Hamilton riih seated at a table Ho
walked over , put his hand on Mr. Fish's
shoulder , and said : "Tlsli , I am not In the
race , that Is positive and final. Get on
vour harness now and fight hard. You
people who are candidates will have to UK lit
jour own battles "
In some way the AlelrldRC people had re
ceived an Intimation of Mr. 1'latt's final
decision , and they , too , wcro Jubilant and
Immediately established claims of victory.
Thu state republican convention to nomi
nate candidates for governor and lleutcnint
governor met heio today. When Mr I'latt
entered the convention hall the entire as
semblage arose The applause was deafen
ing Mr 1'latt's nervousness was appircnt ,
and when one of the bands played "Hall to
the Chief , ' ho elid not look particular ! }
pleased As the applause subsided an en
thusiastic spectator shouted , "Three cheers
for Thomas G I'latt , " and the call was
answered with a will Mr. I'latt stopped to
shal.c hands with Mr. HIscock ami then
went to his scat.
At 12 22 Hcnjamln O'Toll In the absence of
State Chairman Hackctt called the convcn
tlon to order and lllshop Newman offered
a prayer.
Congressman Frank Hlaclc was selected
temporary chairman. Ho delivered a
lengthy addrciiS In which he discussed the
fimnclal Issuu and criticised the elcmocratlc
platform.
At the conclusion ot Chairman Black's
speech the usual committees were named
and then a recess was taken until C p. in
The committee on permanent organization
met directly after adjournment and selected
General Stewart L Woodforil of Brooklyn
as permanent chairman of the committee
The most Interesting contest before the
ciedcntlals committee was that from Herk
liner , between Titus Sheard , the sitting
delegate- and Warner Miller , the latter ac
cusing the former of fraud The committee's
report made the temporary roll permanent
excluding Mr Miller from a state convention
for the first time In thlrtj jears. When
the convention assembled , the report was
presented Down the center of the hall from
the Herltlmer county scats came Warner
Miller. His face was full and his lip trem
bled , as from parts of the hall came cheers
ami from others hisses and jells ot derision
"Get out ! You don't belong here You aie
a traitor1" etc , came cries from the gal
leries The chairman's gavel was almost
useless to quell the uproar Then Otto Irv
ing Wise of Now York maclo himself heard
above the din.
"I object to Mr. Miller speaking. He Is
not on the roll ot the convention "
Them again the row arose. The crowd In
the galleries jelled and again called names
Mr. Miller stood silent In the storm ot de-
ilblon and appliuse
I'hATT TO TUG RESCUE.
Down In the front , there was Mr. IMatt ,
his brows knitted Ho started to get to
his feet Ju an Instant there was a calm
and In his low \olcc ho was heard to siy :
"Mr. Chairman , I hope and I move that
the gentleman bo heard. "
Organisation and antl-oiganlzatlon Joined
In the applause that followed this clover
coup and the gavel of the chairman finally
succeeded In restorliiK order. ' .Mr. Miller
then began to bpcak. His declaration of re
publicanism , despite such treatment as
might bo accorded him , brought forth a
storm of applause and his declaration of
lojalty to the party was slmilaily received
He began his address with a mild harcaatlc
reference to Mr I'latt by saying "I do
not believe that this convention would re
fuse me a hearing. Hut it seems to me
sir , that It took the power of one man
( I'latt ) to grant me that hearing , and I re
turn to him my thanks for the courtesy of
commanding this convention to give mo a
hcarlns "
lie then reviewed the Herltimer countj'
convcnllon and the primaries to select dele
gates to it , declaring that gross Irregu
larities were numerous and that In the con
vention he was declared defeated , yet four
moro votes were cast for him than for his
opponent. He accepted the decision of the
committee , however , and said In closing
"If jou do moro In this cause from now
until November than I shall do , It will bo
only because you are stronger and more
able than I am. "
When Mr. Miller finished ho was heart
ily applauded. A motion that had been
mailo to divide the delegation was defeated
by a viva voce vote and then Mr. Miller
arose In a composed manner and walked
down the aisle to the spcctatois' beats.
When quiet was restored the committee
on permanent organization reported Gcnciul
Stew ait Ij. Woodfoid as the permanent
chairman ,
SOUND MONEY AND TAUIFP
At the conclusion ot Mr. Wooclford's
speech ho called for the report of the com-
inlttce on icsolutlons Chairman Lemuel
Qulgg read the report and the platform
as adopted by the committee , was en
dorsed by the convention without debate
The platform congratulates the people
that the Issues of the campaign have bee-n
so clearly denned and that there has been
no equivocation In any of the party plat
forms The resolutions then continue.
The attempt lo nmko an ounce of gold
equal In value to only blxlcen ounces of
sliver when It H now worth thirty ounces ,
is hopeless mid absurd , The United States
eould not either tnlio nor use thu Hllvt-r
that u fre > u coinage ! law would bring to the

that the melo announcement of the ; .succi'ss
of the democratic ticket would send gold at

Inflicted upon ti.ulu and coinmcrec , no
fraud pc'rpotunted upon labor , no Bhamo

hurtful than would be thu enactment of n
I iw compelling the people to accept In
payment of debts a coin' for onu dollar
which they e-ould spend for not much moro
than half thu tumi To allege that our
stock of money is not now sulllclent for
thu transaction of business is incro asser
tion , but If It we 10 tine , thu evil It Implies
would not bo cm id by n law the first and

colnngt ) of Mlvcr dollars only could not In

dcllilciui of the ( liculatlon that would re

Cuiitlnultig , the resolutions re-cite that the

1)133 MOINES , Aug 23 ( Special Tele
gram. ) The sound money state convention
will open at 1 o'clock tomorrow. It Is now
assured that it will bo fully as largo a
gathering as the regular convention at 01-
tumvva , and probably considerably larger.
At least COO delegates are expected , anil In
addition to this many counties have sent
full alternate delegations , to increase the
showing Scott county has Its full thlrt > -
three delegates anil the same number of
altei nates and they deny Indignantly the
allegation that sound money sentiment Is
on the wane In their part of Iho state. They
report It Is growing stronger every dny ,
and Iho same report comes from many other
quartcds Ihu convention will be a harmoni
ous and cntbuslas'lc one.
There is a disposition In some of the
river county delegations to have the reso-
lutolns include a caustic icfcrcncc to the
late Ottumwa convention , held by the
fuslonlsts , as undemocratic and popu-
llstlc , but this will probably bo ruled out
as Injudicious
There Is a inlnorltj , not expected to de
velop great strength , which would like to
have a state and congressional ticket , but
these will probably make no fight In the
convention or resolutions committee The
disposition of thu great inajoiity Is lo dc-
vote all enciglcs to the national ticket.
In these dispatches a daj or two ago was
given the statement of Colonel L M Martin ,
national coininlttccman , that the democratic
sound money vote would run from 45,000
to fiO.OOO In the state , of which 20,000 would
bo for McKinlej ami the lest for the sound
money ticket. The delegates who In thus
far say this estimate is a low ono and that
the sound money vote Is likely to bu COIH
sldorably stiougcr than this estimate.
RED OAK , la . Aug. 25 ( Special Tele

To the 7 > 000000 people which make up Iho
