FOB SILVER AT 16 TO 1.

I N 1 A N A E O A S THEMSELVES ON RECORD.

Delegates Fledged to Vote for Matthew for Truldent—Ohio Democratic Convention Elects SllTer Delegates—New

York for Cold.

Indianapo'.'s, Ind., June 25.—The free silver democrats outnumbered the representatives of the administration sixteen to one in Wednesday's state convention. The sum of the day's work is a platform declaring for the independent coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1, the indorsement of Gov. Matthews for the presidency and the nomination of a state ticket, every man of whom is

GOV. MATTHEWS.

In accord with the platform. The Indications are that both wings will -work harmoniously for the success of the ticket.

The silver men selected for their chairman Robert C. Bell of Fort Wayne. He made a short address, concluding as follows: "Fellow Democrats: To-day we are in the midst of a great crisis. You will be expected to give expression to your views on the financial question. You will help to determine whether, adhering to the time-honored principles and the repeated declarations of the democratic party, we shall insist upon a financial system which favors the use of both silver and gold as standard money at the long-established ratio of 10 to 1 whether we are great and proud enough to direct our affairs as a free and Independent nation, or, whether we must submit to the dictation of some foreign power whether more than seventy millions of free people shall remain at the mercy of and in full subjection to a small coterie of so-called capitalists of this and other countries who can in a very few days 'corner' all the gold in this country and reduce or fix the values of our property as they please. "I adjure you to speak in no uncertain terms. This issue overshadows all others. Let us sink all personal considerations and preferences in deference to the common good."

After the chairman's address camc the report of the committee on credentials, which recognized the free-silver delegates elected in this city. Then came the report of the committee on resolutions, which was read by Cyrus F. McNutt of Terro Haute. The declaration in favor of the unrestricted coinage of gold and silver at the ratio of 1G to 1 called out tremendous applause.

Following is the platform: "We reaffirm our adherence to tho democratic doctrine of bimetallism, and therefore we demand the immediate restoration of bimetallism by the free and unrestricted coinage of both silver and gold as primary money at the ratio of 16 to 1, without awaiting the co-operation of Great Britain or any other foreign power, all such coinage to be full legal tender in payments of all debts, public and nrlvate.

Resolved, That we beueve the existing tariff laws will be fully equal to all demands for needed revenue for the expenses of government economically administered under the conditions which will arise from the restoration of bimetallism. "We are opposed to the redemption and final cancellation of United States notes (greenbacks) or any other notes or certificates issued by the United States to circulate as money, such redemption and cancellation necessarily involving an Increase of the public debt by the issue of bonds and the reduction of the currency. We demand a sufficient, stable volume of money, gold, silver and paper, to meet the requirements of our ever-growing population and the constant increase of our productive industries. "We protesjt against the increase of the public debt by the issue of interestbearing bonds, or otherwise, in a time of peace. "We demand that obligations of the government of every form be paid and be redeemed in conformity with the laws under which .they were issued, in coin,gold and silver, at the option of the government of the United States and not at the option of the creditor. "We believe that public war exists in Cuba and that the parties thereto ought to be accorded ail tho rights of belligerents."

The platform closes as follows: "We earnestly commend Gov. Mathews, in fullconfidenceof success at the election to the democracy of the United States as a candidate for the presidency, and tho delegates from Indiana to tho national convention are Hereby Instructed to cast their vdte in his favor for president first, last and all the time, and to use all honorable efforts to secure his nomination. The thirty delegates strictly to represent the democracy of Indftna In the Chicago national convention are instructed to vote as a unit upon all questions involving platform or candidate In fehe convention."

The storm came immediately after

the reading of the platform had been completed. Judge McNutt as soon a£ he had finished the last sentence in the platform moved its adoption. Ex-Con-gressman W. D. Bynum, after insisting on recognition, read to the convention the money plank of the democratic convention of 1S92 and said: "If it be claimed that the resolutioin was not clearly understood, that it was of doubtful construction, the subsequent act of the convention in nominating Grover Cleveland with his wtilknown views, removed all doubt as to the platform. Indiana, with the full knowledge of the position of Mr. Cleveland, indorsed him as a candidate by an overwhelming vote. If this was democracy four years ago, why should we turn our backs upon the resolution now?"

It was nearly 3 o'clock before the convention was ready to nominate a candidate for governor. The name of Benjamin F. Shively, the cadidate of the silver crowd, was received with a tremendous shout of approval. James Seller of Montgomery county was put in nomination as a second free silver candidate. It was easy for Shively. This vote showed the strength of the contending forces in the convention. Seller got out of the race soon after tho balloting began- and the vote stood: Shively, 1,644 Cooper, 103. The 10 to 1 ratio had been established.

Ex-Congressman Coooper in a dramatic maner moved to make the nomination of Mr. Shively unanimous. As the representative of the administration wing of the party, he held out the olive-branch to the free silver men. The nominee made an interesting speech in thanking the convention for the nomination. _*•

The ticket was completed as follows: Delegates-at-Large—Daniel W. Voorhees, David Turpie, James D. McCabe, G. V. Menzies

Alternates-at-Large—John E. Lamb, D. F. Alien, John C. Nelson, C. K. Thorpe.

For Governor—Benjamin F. Shively. For Lieutenant Governor—John V. Lawler.

For Appellate Court Judges—Edwin Taylor, George E. Ross, O. J. Lotz, Frank E. Gavin, Theodore Davis.

For Secretary of State—Samuel L. Ralston. For Auditor—Joseph T. Fanning.

For Treasurer—Morgan Chaneller. For Superintendent of Public Instruction—W. B. St Clair.
