States Senator Vilas.
INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. 8.-—'That Old Sol’s
golden rays were hidden by masses of sil-
ver clouds during the early morning did
not seem to furnish a cause for depression
among the gold Democrats assembled‘here.
Perhaps the reflected rays from the unique
golden stars in the many American flags
about the hotel lobbies furnished sufficient
of the needed yellow light to tone the early
morning gray. At any rate the few hours
of the morning preceding the assembling
of the gold Democratic convention were
marked by scenes that placed it more upon
the plane of other great national cenven-
ticns than. it has seemed to hold during
the past few days.
It was a bright.. brisk morning that
greeted the delegates when they arose
early. True the sun was not pouring his
rays into the city streets, but 'the few
white clouds, with no suggestion of rain
in them. that obscured his royal vision
~—

showed evidence of breaking away fora
beautiful day and meanwhile tempered the
atmosphere to a coolness that was pleasant
and reviving. The city streets surround.
ing the hotels that had been made head-
quarters were gay with , hunting and
flags, and while the local committee did
not think them quite lavish enough the
average delegate seemed pleased.
The hotel corridors early presented an
animated appearance, and contrary to ex-
pectation there were many discussions
aroused not pertaining to the selection of
candidates or adoption of‘ a platform, but
arguments with silver Democrats who
chose to either ask or volunteer informa-
tion. John De Witt Warner of New York
and err-Congressman Charles D. Haines of
Kinderhock were foremost among the gold
champions and vigorously proclaimed their
faith. Haines, who is said to boa lieu-
tenantand very close tOISenators.Hill and
Murphy of New York, .nbt only made ar-
guments in the hotel corridors, but went
out into the street and obtained-respectful
hearing from about 400 people. Other or-
ators whose names could not be learned
started discussions in various parts of the
hotel corridors, and all were surrounded
by eager and curious groups of wisdom
seekers.
Very Little Noise.
The arrival of delegates from nearby
and for Western states added to, the gen-
eral confusion. and the bands kept up a
merry round of enlivening music. There,
was a general lack of noisy demonstra-
tion, although there were plaudits and
sometimes jeers from the crowds that sur-
rounded the. lobby orators. Undoubtedly
this was due to the fact, perfectly apparent
this morning, that the delegates as a body
is composed of a higher class of men than
generally forms the file of a national con-
vention. .
-In every delegation this was apparent.
Bankers, merchants, reformers in Amer-
ican politics, some men who had never be-
fore taken part in a national convention,
lawyers, railroad men and few if any pro-
fessional politicians formed the great mass
of delegates. They were men who leaned
toward calm discussion and who deemed
themselves. however, worthy patriots, en-'
gaged in their country’s salvation. It was
this latter attitude probably that put the
stamp of dignity upon the delegates even
before they assembled in the convention
and which prevented in the streets and
hotel corridors prior to the assembling of
the convention the almost riotous scenes
that marked the last two national conven-
tions.
Up to very nearly the hour of assem-
bling all but about fbur states in the
Union were found to be represented and
with full delegations. This has proved
rather a source of wonderment to those
who started the movement and who now
point to the short time which the project
has lived.
While the trend of opinion as to the can-
didates,was toward Bragg and Buckner
during the early morning, there were still
many vigorous little booms for others, and
it was curious and rather humorous to see
the way in which records were pulled to
pieces to find if there were any silver flaws
in gold candidates. The ‘largest estimate
of a crpwd was made by a railroad man,
who asserted that there were 6,000 people
in the city, delegates and strangers. Of
this estimated crowd Chicago furnished a
large proportion, including the COok coun-
ty marching club,,about 200 strong, one Of
the few uniformed clubs in town.
The Applause, Begins.
A band was located in the upper gallery
of Tomlinson hall at the rear of the room. ’
Many of the early arrivals in the galleries
were ladies. Mrs. Hendricks, the widow
of the late vice president, was one of the
first of the distinguished personages to '
appear in the seats reServed in the rear of
the stage. The arrival of the Alabama
delegation with a huge purple banner was
the signal for the first outburst of ap-
plause. 0n the banner was the state
shield, beneath which were , the words
“Here'We rest,” recalling the ’old‘legend
’of the'Indians, who, driven plteously from
the north, weary and footsore, finally set--
tied in the terrttory now Alabama, which,
translated, gives the motto of. the state.
The Alabama marching club, which had
already entered With a fanfare of trumpets,
gave three cheers as their banner appeared.
“Hlirrah for Alabama!!” they shouted,
when from across the hall came the cry,
“What’s the matter with old Kentuck?”
The band then woke the echoes with a"
stirring medley of popufar airs, and imme-
diately thereafter ’the delegates began ar-
riving. Thai-e were some enthusiastic re-.
ceptions.’ General Bragg, as he moved to
his seat in the extreme left at the head of
the Wisconsin delegation,was uproariously
applauded. When the Pennsylvania dele-
gation filed in shortly before noon, there-
were cheers for: the old KeystoneState.
Immediately afterward, while the band
was playing “Dixie,” Colonel, W. C. P.
Breckinridge, with 'snow white beard and
hair, entered at the head of the Blue Grass
delegation. The galleries again cheered.
The entrance of Iowa brought the dele-
gates _to their feet. The, “What’s the
matter?” man was present and kept the
delegates and galleries busy. As the
hands of the clock pointed to high noon
Senator Palmer of Illinois, chairman of
the national committee, made his way
from the rear of the stage quarters 'to the
platform. The galleries were then about
half filled, and the main body’of the dais-
gates were in their seats. About 20 per
cent of those in the galleries were ladies.
The appearance of the Florida delegation,
headed by two burly negroes, one carrying
a Cleveland banner and the other a gilded
alligator labeled “Florida's goldbug,” pro-
duced quite a fldrry of enthusiasm.
Trying to Force Bragg Ont.
An effort is being made to force-General
Bragg out of the presidential race in fa-
vor of Senator Vilas of the same state.
Many delegates here, believing Senator
Vilas the strongest candidate, have ten-
'dered him their support, and other delev
gates have Withheld opinions until some
definite arrangement can 'be made and a
determination reached as to whether or
not Bragg will retire in favor of Senator
Vilas. The senator has said that he could
not boa candidate as General Bragg was
a candidate from his own state. The dele-
gates who are in the movement to secure
Bragg’s withdrawal in favor of Vilas Wi‘l‘l
no doubt present the name of General
John C. Black of Illinois if General Bragg
remains in the field. Black’s name will be
presented by the Illinois delegation, which
would no doubt vote for Vilas in case
Bragg was out of the field.
A sensational story was printed in a
morning paper here which, if true, would
have completely closed the Bragg boom.
In effect the story ran that late last night
some of Mr. Bragg’s friends had discov-
ered that no longer ago than 1895 General
Bragg was for free silver and had written
a letter in support of his views and that
they had decided to drop him and take up
Senator Vilas or General Black of Illinois.
The story proved to be a canard. Senator
Vilas was seen this morning. “I would
stake my hcmestea ,” said he, “on my
conviction that there is absolutely no"
truth in the story. General Bragg voted
for the experiment of the Bland-Allison
act in 1878, and he was then in the best
of Democratic company. Judge Thurman,
and in fact almost every Democrat in con-
gress, voted for that experiment, but since
then General Bragg has been absolutely
sound on the money question. Wiscon-
sin,” Senator Vilas continued, “is for
Bragg and will continue to be for him.”
General Bragg himself was seen, and
When informed. of this report ejaculated
characteristically: “Oh, fiddlesticks! There
is not a word of truth in it. My action 18
years ago is the only thing that can 'be
brought against me. It is not probable,"
said he, “that a man who had to pay a 40
per cent premium for the United States
money when he crossed the border of free
silver Mexico would write a letter after
the experience for a silver standard.”
Called to Order.
Thunderous applause greeted the New.
York delegation. Headed by ex-Governor
Flower and General Tracey, they marched
to their seats, 72 strong, to continuous
handclapping. Each delegate had in his
buttonhole a spray of goldenrod. The New
England delegations, with many conspicu-
ous men among them, were also warmly
received. Massachusetts carried two silk
American flags and a state banner. Ex-
Congressman Outhwaite of Ohio took his
place on the platform with Mr. Bynum
and Secretary Wilson. Among the distin-
guished visitors in the seats in the rear of
the stage were W. Bullitt of Pennsylva—'
nla, R. T. Tyler of Kentucky, who was a
candidate for lieutenant governor with W.
Wat Hardin a year ago; Dr. Everett of
Boston, the college professor and son of
Edward Everett; Mrs. John M. Palmer
and many others.
Senator Palmer rose at half past 12 and
struck the gavel. Thereupon most of the
delegates jumped to their feet, shouting
and waving their state banners, ending
the demonstration, which was brief, by
three cheers. The white haired senator
said that this was the first Democratic na-
tional convention of the year, and that he
who knows all things might look into the
hearts of the assembly and discern that‘its
purposes were patriotic, and that it was

tween the pages of a prayer book.
Fix-Governor newer’s Speech.
Ex-Governor Roswell P. Flower of New
York, temporary chairman of the conven-
tion. then spots in part as follows:
“This gathering is notice to the world
that the Democratic partyhas not yet sur-
rendered to, Bopulism and anarchy. The.
truegnrincinles 9f militiamen expounded
by Jefferson and ‘exempli-fled through " a
century of national history,” are not dead
because those principle have been repudi-
Mate‘d by_a convention calling itself Demo-
cratic, but controlled by‘u‘n-Demccratic in-
stincts. There are true Democrats who re-
main true to the principles of their party
and who refuse to be bound by party dec-
larations which betray party faiths and. '
threaten both party and
aster. . _ . .-
"By our presence here'we emphasize
the genuine character [of our Democracy
country with dis-
. and’demousrmtu the ratriotic nature of
our, Liiltlsunhidp. .’l here Have been Dunner»
v
ous instances in peliticai history where, in
the name of party loyalty, men-have justi-
fled their nonsupport of, party plathrms 0r
candidates, and in .too many ofrsnch cases
has the movement failed because when
analyzed its inspiring influence was found
to be nothing higher than a desire to r
avenge disappointed ambitions or to over-
throw a political organization. No such
sordid motive can be charged against this
gathering. No-Democrat here sought hon-
ors from those who framed the ‘Chicago
platform. Every Democrat here has only
political humiliatiOn to expect in the
event of the success of the Chicago ticket.
No Democrat honored hero by being’madc
the candidate of this convention can look
forward with any reasonable hope to an
election. None of us who help to nominate
him—can expect to be a participant in any
distribution of political favors. We are
here because We lOve the Democratic party
and because we love our country. That is
the inspiration which has drawn us to-
gether and encourages our action. That is
the fact which evidencesour sincerity and
makes our cause-strong with the people.
“For myself, I can say that for over a
half century I have been unflinching in
my support of Democratic principles, and.
I do not propose to give them up now,
even if I have to bolt my party platform
and ticket in order to maintain those prin-
ciples. I have lived and worked for my
party in a town and county where Demo-
crats are so few that it was only by acci-
dent that we could elect even a constable
once or twice in a decade. The chief com-
plaint whiéh my political critics have
made against myacts in public life has
been that I-have been too much of a Dem-
ocratic partisan, too devoted to the inter-
ests of my party. But in no test of parti-
sanship have I been a better friend of the
Democratic party than I feel I am today
in joining with those who would save the
party from the abyss toward which it has
thrown itself.” ’
TOMLINSON HALL.
Description of the Place Where the Con-
vention Is Held.
INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. 3. —— Tomlinson
hall, in which the gold standard Demo-
cratic convention is held, is situated at
Market and Delaware streets in the mid-
dle of the city, within easy reach of all the
hotels. The hall takes its name from Mr.
Tomlinson, a Wealthy resident of Indi-
anapolis who contributed most of the funds
with which it was constructed, the re.
mainder of the expense being furnished
by the city government. It is capable of
seating comfortably about 4,000 people and
is admirably adapted for the purposes of a
large public meeting. It was erected in
1886 and has been apopular place for large
demonstrations ever since.
The Commercial club of Indianapolis
and the board of trade of this city placed
the hall at the disposal of the national com‘
mittee. The interior and exterior of the
building are handsomely draped with
hunting in the national colors, inter-
spersed with the stars and stripes and
other patriotic and appropriate devices.
The rear of the stage is ornamented with
life sized portraits of Jefferson, Jackson
and Joseph McDonald on the one side
and Cleveland, Tilden and Hdndricks on
the other. In the center and over the head
of the chairman is a large eagle with shield
and flags. The rear of the stage is cur-
tained ad with red, White and blue bunt-
ing. To the right and left of the stage
hunting is arranged to represent a sun-
burst, with curtains made of immense na-
tional flags. Fan shaped curtains of the
same material extend from the right to ‘
the ’lcft'of the stage overhead. The stage
‘ itself is raised ' about four feet above the
general level of the floor.” The front in
handsomely ornamented with palms, ferns
and smiiax. A feature of the decorations
is the gliding of all the picture frames
and shields and staves which ornament the
ball. A vase containing goldenrod is at
the right hand of the presiding oflicer.
Gold is everywhere on all the ornaments
on which it can be appropriately placed.
On the walls on the upper and lower gal-
leries are golden wreaths, within which
are the names of the various states of the
Union, ornamented with a shield and
flags, making a very handsome appear-
ance. The ceiling is trimmed With red,
white and blue bunting in canopy shape.
The accommodations for the press are
ample and far better arranged for the con-
venience of the newspaper men .than at
any of the three preceding conventions.
Connecticut Republican Platform.
HARTFORD, Sept. 3.—Following is the
platform adopted by the Republican state
convention:
"We. the Republicans of the convention,
in convention assembled, While reafl‘irm-
ing the principles of the Republican party
as enunciated in the platform adopted by
the national convention at St. Louis and
in the masterly letter of acceptance of our
presidential nominee, William McKinley,
and in the admirable platform recently
adopted by our state convention, recognize
in the crisis which has been forced upon
this country by the un-American and rev-
olutionary action of- the so called Demo-
cratic convention lrcld at Chicago that the
question of supreme importance is the
preservation of the life, honor and integ-
rity of our nation. ,
"We realize that this can only be ac-
complished by the maintenance of our ju-
dicial system, which is the bulwark of our
liberties and the admiration of the world,
and by the continuance of a financial pol-
icy which makes gold the standard of
. value until adifierent policy is adopted
by international agreement.
“We favor a tariff which will provide
revenues sufficient to meet the ordinary
necessary expenses of the government and
so adjusted as to place American labor,
without the sacrifice of our high wa’ge
system, on at least equal terms in our own
market with the labor of other lands.
“We commend the wise and economical
administration of the affairs of this state
by Governor Cofl‘in and his associates.
“We commend the nominees of the Re-
publican-national convention and of this
convention to suffrage of all good citizens
Of the state of Connecticut, irrespective of
party.”
Hon. Lorrin A. Cooke was nominated
for governor. - .
James D. Dewell was nominated for
lieutenant governor.
The Vermont Election. g
S'r. ALBANS, Vt., Sept. 3.——With ten re-
‘mote towns to be heard from, the vote of
which will not materially change the re-
sult, the Republicans carried Vermont by
more than 35,000 _ jmajcrity. Chairman
Merrill of the‘Republican state committee
says that the official figures will show 'a
majority for the party‘of at least 37,000.
