MAKSiTATATmvy, la., Aug-. 8.—The
Democratic Convention of the state was
held here yesterday, there being- a very
large attendance.
The convention was called to order
in the Odeon opera house by Chairman
Howard. The body contained 1,070
delegates, every- county being- fully
represented. Judge Nathaniel French,
of Davenport, was made temporary
chairman and addressed thc-convention.
After speaking- on state issues, mainly
the local option law, Mr. French took
up the currency question, and debated
it from the gold standpoint.
The following platform was adopted:
The democratic party of Iowa in convention
assembled, reaffirms the national platform ot
the party adopted in Chicago in 1892and points
with satisfaction to the evidences of the wis
dom of that convention of the results accom
plished according to its promises, to the evi
dences of returning prosperity, the restoration
of wages and the re-establishment of industry
upon a prosperous basis—conditions which
have i....orted congratulations from even the
republicans of Iowa. We declare the rescue
of the finances of the country from the baleful
effects of the Sherman law, the repeal of the
un-Amcrican federal election law and the up
rooting of Mclvinleyism to be works worthy of
the history and prestige of the great demo
cratic party, and of a courageous democratic
administration.
We reaffirm the following portion of the
seventh blank of the last national democratic
convention:
“Wc hold to the use of both gold and silver
as the standard money of the country and to
the coinage of both gold and silver without
discrimination against either metal or charge
for mintage; but the dollar unit of coinage of
both metals must be of equal intrinsic and ex
changeable value, or bo adjusted by such safe
guards of legalization" as shall insure the main-
tenance of the parity of the two metals and
the equal power of every dollar at all times in
the market and in the payment of debts, and
we demand that all paper currency shall be
kept at par with and redeemable in such coin.”
We insist upon this policy as especially
necessary for the protection of the farmers
and laboring classes, the first and most de
fenceless victims of unstable money and a
fluctuating currency.
We condemn the cowardice and trickery of
the republican party of Iowa in failing to meet
in its last state platform, any of the issues im
portant and vital to the interests of our state
and we ask upon it the sober judgment of an
intelligent people.
We believe that the mulct law fails to meet
the requirements of a good excise statue. It
is unfair as between communities and imposes
hardships upon property owners, and it com
promises the honor of the state in declaring
the sale of liquors a crime and condoning the
onense for a money consideration, We repeat
our demand of the past live years fora local
opition high license law, and on behalf of the
commercial interests of our state we favor a
law permitting the manufacture of liquors,
thus affording a market for the products of the
farm and labor of the state and. saving to our
people The enormous sums now expended in
other states.
We favor the election of United St.ites sena
tors by direct vote of the people.
We favor just and liberal pensions to all de
serving veterans.
We reiterate our unflinching opposition to
all monopolies and trusts and call for enact
ments which will abolish combines vf all kinds.
We demand that our state institutions be
governed by a single non-partisan board of
control, which can intelligently comprehend
their relative wants and economically and
justly apportion among the whole that which
their just requirements demand.
We favor the speedy completion of the Hen
nepin canal and the deepening of the water
ways from the Great Lakes to the ocean, so as
to enable ocean vessels to pass through.
Judge W. F. Babb, of Mount Pleas
ant, a sound money man, was nomina
ted for governor by acclamation on
motion of Ex-Congressman "Walter I.
Ilayos, of Clinton. In the same man
ner the nomination for lieutenant gov
ernor went to S. L. Bestow, of Chari
ton, who has been lieutenant governor
and is an advocate of free silver. He
was the candidate of the free silver
men for the permanent chairmanship.
The nomination for railroad commis
sioner went to Colonel George Jenkins,
of Dubuque, and for state superinten
dent to L. B. Parshall, of Maquoketa
There were two candidates for supreme
judge and a ballot was required. C.
Harper, ex-state senator of Burlington
was nominated defeating E. E. Hasner,
of Independence.
The sense of the delegates was twice
taken on the silver question, the party
in this state is squarely on record as
opposed to free coinage at the ratio of
10 to 1. The first test was indirect, the
free coinage men and the opposition
having candidates for permanent chair
man. J. II. Shields, of Dubuque, a
champion of sound money-, was chosen
by a vote of 051 to 4L7. Later, when a
direct proposition was made to substi
tute a free silver plank for the reaffir
mation of the national financial plank
of 1892 contained in the platform as it
came from the committee on resolu
tions, the silver men again met defeat
by a vote of 651 to 420.
Judge Babb was introduced and made
a conservative address. lie asserted
that a party platform was no place for
legislative detail, and that such was
coinage ratios. He declared himself a
bimetallist and he thought most demo
crats were. He endorsed the platform
adopted and said that to congress,
should he left the work of providing
for the coinage of both gold and silver.
Judge W. F. Babb, nominated for
governor, is a natiye of Iowa. lie was
born in DesMoines county, forty-five
years ago. He entered Iowa Wesleyan
University at Mount Pleasant, and in
1862 entered and served two y'ears in
the Union army. Returning he finished
his university course, studied law and
settled down to practice his profession
in Mount Pleasant, where he lias since
resided, lie has been successful at the
bar, and has twice been elected to the
bench in a district strongly republican,
largely because of his personal popu
larity. He is in demand as a lecturer.
He is widely known in Iowa through
his work in connection with the Meth
odist church.
There are Troubles ».t Several Mines nnd
They go Oct.
Birmingham, Ala., Aug. 8.—Three
hundred white miners employed by the
Sloss Iron & Steel Company at Brook-
side, Cardiff and Brazil niiues went out
on a strike yesterday. The trouble is
not about wages, but other matters.
The miners contend that a committee
of miners was appointed some time ago
i to call upon Superintendent Culver-
house and refused the appointment of a
check weighman, and that thereupon
Culverhouse discharged two members
of the committee from the company’s
employ.
On Sunday a mass meeting was held
near Cardiff by the miners and it was
decided to renew the request for the
check weighman, ask pay for “dead
work” in the mines and also request
the reinstatement of the miners’ com
mitteemen. Another committee with
these requests called on Superintendent
I Culverhouse, and it is said he received
them courteously, promising to rein
state the discharged men. However,
yesterday it is said when the discharged
j men started to work this privilege was
! denied to them, as well as to the new
committeemen.
The miners met at Brookside also
decided to strike. This they did yes
terday. All is quiet, hut no white men
I are at work at Brookside, Cardiff or
Brazil. The negro miners are still at
work and are not concerned. Just
wT.at the outcome of the strike will be
cannot be foretold.
Nearly one hundred negro furnace
laborers imported by the Tennessee
Coal, Iron & Railway Company to work
! in this city struck because of a refusal
i by the company to grant them an in-
| crease of 25 cents per day in wages.
] Convicts will he put in their places and
deputy sheriffs have been sent to the
scene, where a number of the strikers
i were loafing, but no trouble has yet oc-
| curred. The officers say they will have
! no trouble in getting labor at former

Princeton, 111., Aug. 8.—There has
been no violence at Spring Valley other
than the Italians preventing the coal
company from operating their mines.
As a result the streets are still crowded
with miners, meetings mostly secret,
are being held in various parts of the
city, and the situation is being discuss

Atherton of this city, left Princeton at
10 o’clock in the morning for Spring
Valley with armed deputy sheriffs. The
deputies are well armed and if any
Italians or any one else commits depre

presence and refuse to desist they will
open fire at once. The reports of out

A CORNER ON ORANGES.
A Boston Firm Buys in the West India

Jacksonville, Fla. Aug. 8.—The
British steamer Jason, Captain Frazier,
will sail from here today for Jamaica,
carrying a cargo of orange box mate

pickers and packers.
These orange pickers and packers are

of the Boston Fruit Company, whfbh

liatns & Co., who said:
We have long been thinking that the
Baldwin Locomotive Works should
take a prominent position in the man
ufacture of electrical engines, but we
found the electrical field so well cover
ed by patents that an outsider must
work under great disadvantage. The
negotiations between the two compa
nies to overcome this difficulty have
been going on for more than two
months, and we are now ready to join
and undertake any contracts for loco
motives run by the electrical power.
David Leonard Barnes, a railroad en
gineer expert of Chicago, lias been se
lected as the joint superintendent of
the companies to overlook tiie construc
tion of these locomotives.
No immediate extension of the Bald
win plant is contemplated as a result
of the deal. The combination will
mean, however, the eiuploymeat of a
considerable number of men, both here
and in I’ittsburgh. The Baldwin works
have already experimented in the con
struction of electrical engines. One
was built recently for Henry Villard of
the North American Company, and a
number of small trucks have been built
for elevated railroad use.
A revolution in the matter of railway
locomotion is confidently expected.
The Baldwin Locomotive Works, which
are the largest of their kind in the
laving a capacity of 1,009 loco
motives a 3 r ear, were founded by Mat
thias W. Baldwin in 1831. The first
building on the present site was built
in 1835, and the plant has gradual13- in

epoch in their history. Georgia far
mers will make this year better corn
crops and raise more meat than ever
before. It is safe to say- that the food
supply of that state if properly distri
buted will be sufficient for two years
consumption.
“Cotton is sufficiently- advanced to in
sure? a good eron, and while Texas is
behind probably in production, Georgia
and the adjoining states will furnish
an average yield - ”
The secretary is enthusiastic over the
signs of prosperity' among the fruit
growers of Georgia. “More peaches.”
he said, “have been raised and market
ed than ever in the history of the
state. They are large and juicy', and
in the eastern markets have almost en
tirely' supplied California peacheS. The
watermelon crop, too, was a tremend
ous one. and in most parts of the state
a profitable one. Grape growing is also
making rapid progress.”
Secretary Smith says he believes that
the industrial boom in the south which
was temporarily set hack by the late
panic, is on again. Cotton manufac
turing was never more successful in the
south than it is today, and all through
the cotton belt new mills are being
erected and old mills are being en
larged. Much of this is being done by
home capital although a number of New
England people are making large in
vestments in eottou manufacturing
companies in the south. In the iron
district of Alabama, a number of new
furnaces have recently' gone into blast,
and the workmen in that section are
now fully employed, and many of them
at increased wages. All over the south
the demand for labor is constantly' in
creasing and at good prices. Condi
tions were never better for a return of
prosperity unexampled in the history of
that section. "If our people continue
in their present conservative way,much
of the flow of eastern capital which has
hitherto travelled elsewhere, will come
to us.
“The place for a young man, an old
man, a rich man or a poor man, willing
to work aDd anxions to improve his
fortune," concluded the secretary, “is
in the South.”

TESTED THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.
Ad a Result of Their Over Promptness Two
May Die, Another Injured.
Camden, N. J., Aug. 1.—After a
lengthy meeting last night the Camden
fire commissioners walked down to
Sixth and Royden streets and turned in
an experimental alarm from the box
located there. They wanted to test the
promptness of the department. Com
panies numbers 1 and 2 responded to
the alarm at break-neck speed. The
hose cart from No. 1 company turned
wildly from Broadway into Royden
street and its momentum sent it careen
ing completely' over. Two men were
buried under it. They were Assistant
Chief Samuel Busine and Wilkin Brom

man William B. Jones was thrown
clear and escaped serious injury. The
other two men were hauled out and
sent to their homes in a patrol wagon.
Both are so badly injured that they
may die.
