TUK IOWA DKMOT'RACY.

CorsriL .UM-KFS, In., May 12.—The largest demoerutic convention in the history of tLe state of Iowa assembled in this city at 10 a. m. Wednesday. Kverv county in the state was repre* sented by over 800 delegates. Badges hearing the inscription,

44Kor

President

of the United States. Horace Boies," adorned the breasts of hundreds of delegates. and every mention of the gov ernor's name was the signal for tumultuous cheers.

Orguntxat Ion.

At 10:"0 Chairman Charles Fuller called Hie convention to order. lie announced tliat the state central committee had selected the following temporary otlicers of the convention. Chairman, Hon. John C. Hells, of Scott county: secretary, Frank Watson, of Kenton county Reading secretary. J. 11. Steuben ranch, of Marion county oflieial reporter. C. O. Thorpe, of Lucas county sergeant-at-arms. Frank Guanclla. of Pottawattamie comity. In his speech, upon taking the chair. Mr. liells laid particular stress upon the tarilV and prohibition issues. With regard to the latter he .was especially vigorous. saving that prohibition had driven -10.000 republican voters in Iowa from their party into the ranks of the democracy. The speaker said that he believed that Gov. Iioies would be the next president of the United States.

At Mr. Hell's conclusion the roll of districts was called for the announcement of the work of the various committees. In some of them there were interesting'contests over district delefates to Chicago, members of the state central committee and members of the committee on resolutions'.

The Delegate* ul I .urge.

In the afternoon lion. .1. E Markley, of Mason City, was made permanent chairman.

The following were chosen by full ballot of the convention as delegates at large to the national convention: J. II. Shields, of Dubuque L. M. Martin, of l'olk Edward Campbell. Jr., of Jef ferson, and J. F. Duncombe, of Fort Dodge. The alternates at large, also selected by ballot, were: S. L. Marsh, of Polk. a colored man J. D. Yeomans, of Woodbury: I. S. Regna, of Winneshiek, and S. L. Gardiner, of Clinton.

Hlits Holls Tor Joy.

Pending the ballots for delegates and alternates the committee on resolutions made its report. Hon John C. Kelly, editor of the Sioux City Tribune, presented the report, and when the section indorsing the candidacy of Gov. Boies and pledging the delegates to his support was reached the enthusiasm reached its height. Every -man in the hall sprang to his feet and cheer after cheer swept over the convention for Iowa's favorite son. The crowd on the outside caught the inspiration of the occasion and a moment later the ringing of the steeple bells joined in the acclaim which attested the birth of the Iowa governor's presidential boom.

The riatlorin.

A synopsis of the platform adopted is as follows: Jt reiterates the party's devotion to the principles that all are born five and equal: that the citizen is best protected when insured of the absolute control and disposition of his wages And subsixtuncc all limitations upon the liberties of the. citizens not required in the interests of good morals and ^ood government arc odious and tyranicul protection is classed in this limitation, and tho declaration is made that tariff reform is the paramount issue in the presidential campaign. Free raw materials for American factories are demanded and the free list should be extended to include many articles of necessity, and there should be a reduction of import duties all along the line.

Jn regard to tho currency it says: "Recognizing the nation's obligation to mnintain a sound and honest currency of equal value in all its forms and of a suitable volume to preserve a just proportion between its purchasing power and tho cost of the products of labor and liberal wages, we reaffirm our adherence to a Hituncial system based upon equally free bimetallic coinage and oppose all legislation calculated to reduce cither of tho precious metals to the position of commodity nlone by establishing the other as a single Btnndard for the measurement of values."

After reciting the virtues of Gov.-Uoies tho platform indorses him as a candidate for presidential honors and pledges him the electoral vote of lov.a and unqualiiicdly instructs tho delegates to support him.

SILVER AGAIN!

Mr. Ilhind Succeeds la Bringing the Subject llefore tho lloune Again. WASHINGTON. May 12.—There were two surprises in the house Wednesday. The first was striking from the sundry civil bill the appropriation of Sii0,000 for the purchase of a site and the commencement of anew building for anew mint at Philadelphia and the second the sudden springing in the house of the silver question by Mr. Uland (Mo.) in shape of an amendment to the same bill requiring the coinage and issue in payment of appropriations of the silver bullion now in the treasury.

After the transaction of some business of minor importance the house went into committee of the whole on the sundry civil appropriation bill. Mr. Holman (lnd.) moved to strike out the appropriation for S«i0,000 for the purchase of a sit« and the commencement of a building for a new mint at Philadelphia.

Mr. Otis (Kan,) favored striking out the clause. Why not build the mint oui west? According to the position taken by Pennsylvania members on the silver bill they were not in favor of free silver. The mint should be built where the people were in favor of free silver. We had nothing to coin but gold and that was growing less every year.

Mr. liland (Mo.) agreed with Mr. Otis that if a new mint were to be built it should be located in the est, where the bullion was produced. He moved to amend the clause in the bill by providing that all silver bullion now in the treasury, the property of the government, or hereafter purchased by or becoming the. property of the government, shall be immediately coined into standard silver dollars and the seigniorage or gain arising therefrom covered into the treasury and paid out to meet the appropriations herein provided for.

Mr. Tracey made a point of order against the amendment, and Mr. Cockran (N. Y.) moved to further amend by suspending the further purchase of silver bullion. The chairman of the committee of the whole ruled out of order Mr. llland's amendment. Mr. Cockran withdrew his amendment. Mr. island appealed from the decision of the chair, but subsequently withdrew the appeal, stating that there was another place in the bill where he would offer his amendment. Mr. Tillman (S. was opposed to anew mint until we had something to mint. "Give us," he said, "a free coinage bill and we will give you a mine." Mr. Reillv (Pa.) advocated the erection of the new building and then live vote wa.s taken. On a division the vote stood VI to 85. Tellers were ordered aud the motion to strike out the mint appropriation was agreed to—90 to i:i.

Mr. Townsend (Col.) rend the dispatch stating that Mr. Goseheu had announced that England would except the invitation of the United States to take part in the international conference to discuss tho silver question. The reading of the cablegram was received with loud applause. Pending further action the committee rose aud the house adjourned.

ROSM-N*, Wash., May pj. Early Wednesday morning TOO miners were at work searching for the men hilled by the terrible mine explosion of Tuesday. There is no hope that any of the men who were in the mine at the time of the accident arc alive. The number of victims is now said to be forty-six. At noon fifteen bodies had been recovered.

Heart rending scnicK,

The scenes around the pit's mouth were heartrending. Widow's and orphans of buried miners crowded about the entrance to the mine and waited tearfully for any news from the relief parties that were searching in the three lower levels, where the full force of the explosion was felt. One of the pitiable sights that brought tears to the eyes of all who saw it was the spectacle of two little children, hand in hand, eagerly looking for their father. The calamity is crushing to the families of the dead men. as all were |xverly-strieken because of the lack of work for mauv months past. The Northern I'aciUc company has ordered that all immediate wants of the bereaved families be promptly supplied.

Made Little I'l'ojfiTK*.

The relief parties made slow progress. as they were forced to build bulkheads of canvas und lumber to get fresh air to the front. The sixth and seventh levels haven't yet been reached. In them it is expected all tin remaining boilies will be found. It may take another twenty-four hours before the low est level is reached. Various rumors as to the cause of the explosion arc rife, but it is probable that the true nature of the disaster and the circumstances that led to it will "never be known, since no one was left to tell the story. The most reatonable cone usion is that the working miners unexreetcdly encountered a strong gas feeder. t:cn*urv the Company.

The undertone of popular feeling is one of general censure of the local company, and there is a decided disposition to hold it responsible for the death of the forty-six men who were, definitely known to have perished in the accident. Report has it that Alexander Ilonald, who up to two weeks ago was superintendent of the company, resigned his position because he refused to longer accept responsibility for the safety of the men under him unless the company took extra precautions to prevent the occurrence of just such a disaster as has occurred.
