And when it became generally known among the delegates Tuesday night that Boles had announced that he would not decline if It was the will of tho convention that he should run, all talk of other candidates subsided. Bestow, who was tho only man who was making a fight for tho nomination, pulled out of the race when he saw the drift of things. When the delegates were called to order there was not one among the 1,114 occupying seats on the floorwho had a candidate outside the present occupant of tho executive chair. He was nominated by acclamation. For Lieutenant Governor George B. McFall, Mayor of O3kaloosa, was the only contestant with S. X. Bestow, but the latter won on the first ballot by 6C2 to 440.

self to bo a bimetallist and urged the repeal of the Sherman law because It stands In tho way of bimetallism. He said that President Cleveland was not a bimetallist, and added that ho would not follow the gold path marked out by the administration. Here is what ho said on this point: I shall refuse to follow In the footsteps of any administration that seeks to place the Democratic party in a false position, that seeks to lead it away from its traditions, away from the currency of our fathers, away from the party of safety, away from the Democratic principles and platforms snd into tho very camp of tho enemy. Tho President must rely upon Republican votes to carry out any such suicidal policy. I shall not believe, however, that any such course will he taken by the President of his own volition, or even under the inspiration of indiscreet advisers, until clearer evidence shall be furnished than now exists.
