DELAWARE DEMOCRATS MEET.
State Ticket Nominated and McKinley
Roundly Criticised.
Dover, Del.. September 13.—Tho demo
cratic state convention met here this af
ternoon and selected the following ticket.
Congressman—L. I- Handy (renominated).
State Treasurer —William Boss (renomi
nated).
State Auditor—Dr. L. A. IT. Bishop.
The platform declares tho devotion of
tho democratic party of Delaware to all
tho cardinal principles of tho democratic
faith which have come down from Jefferson
and Jackson. The administration of na
tional affairs under President McKinley Is
declared to be a disappointment, and it Is
set forth that prosperity has not. returned;
that trusts, combines and monopolies have
grown, and that no measures of economy
have been introduced.
Concerning Hie money question, the plat
form says:
"The necessity of reforming our cur
rency system Is admitted on all sides and
confessed by the president himself —who
sent a money commission abroad to con
sult. foreign governments and asked for
the appointment of another monetary com
mission to consider the question here at
home—but notwithstanding tho admitted
evils of our present complicated, illegal
and injurious currency system, tho repub
lican congress and administration have
taken no positive and effective measures
for reform.”
The inequalities of the war revenue act
are condemned. Tho people are congratu
lated upon the termination of tho war with
Spain, and a demand Is made that the
burdens of war taxation be lessened as
quickly as possible. A rigid and impartial
investigation of the conduct of the war de
partment is demanded.

E. H. Eurlchs. of Colorado Springs, Col.,
1 followed him to show that tlie establish
ment of the gold standard was in harmony
with evolution. I m Idenl 1 lly, ho argued
' against tlm qu intltiie theory of money.
Governor Leslie M. Shaw, of lowa, made
. .i brie:’ address, which went deeply into
tlm subj. ' t from tlm producers’ point ot
Several questions ns to tlie ability Os a
. del,tor country to retain its gold against
1 foreign droughts and having to do witit
' th" quantitive theory of money as laid
■ down by /. "11-I,it"wn fin metal autlioritles,
and also as to Indian competition with
th. American wheat producer were pro
poumi i by ex-C.'Ugressni.in George Fred
Williams, of Boston.
General \. J Warner, of Ohio, president
of the American Bimetallic Union, contend
ed that the go'.J standard had appreciated
tlm dollar and correspondingly caused .1
g.-mr.'il .''all "I' prices, doubling tlie debt
I of tlie country.
| t’ongr. s-m a Fowler, of New Jersey, re

i e.l that wages had both Increased nttnier

t'h.irles A Towne, of Duluth, Minn., na-
J tional eltairman of the silver republican
1 party, took exception to Mr. Fowler's logie.
i that tlm gold standard Im.d produced si
-1 1, ultaueoiisij an in'i'-tinitc rise wag'-s

1 in b' half of sii'.er tomorrow morning, and
Mr. Fowler will combat him.
Currency Talk Ccmes to an End.
Ontnlt.i. Neb.. September 15.-The third
an ! 1.1. 1 day of tlm n.ti."it'il currency con
vention began witit a piper in support of
an unitmtted issue of irredeemable currency
bv Hie gov.! t.nmnt, by A. J. W irtmr, pres
ident of tltv Ame ricin Bimetallic Union.
t.te'mral Warner said the debate would
Im- divided into first, the advocacy of
bank . nrreney; s.'.'Ond, a ple.t for a gov
ernmental ctirreticy to circulate concur
rently with the metals, and third, an atiii
mation of an irredeemable government pa
per currency or absolute liatlsm.
A reply was niade by Congressman ('.
ii. Fowler, ot NT w Jersey, who supported
the bank currency.
I’resident Willis, of tlie Kansas Agricul
tural college, led off this afternoon, argu
ing for pub.ie control of money. He charged
the banks with securing legislation inim
ical to the inti rests of the people and by
manipulations having produced tlie panics
of 1873 and 1893. He cited the poistotiice as
an instance of the op< ration of public con
trol of public utility and said money, the
greatest of .ill public utilities, should also
be under publie control.
it was intended that Congressman Me-
< Teary, of Minneapolis, should explain the
provisions >t his currency I til, introduced
ui tlie last session of congress, but tlm
paper money champions fired questions at
him so fast that his forty-five minutes
were t;ik< n up in answering them and his
paper went over to the evening session.
Witii reference to silver, he said it had
never been demonetized in the proper
meaning of tlie word. What had taken
pi.ice was precisely a change in policy as
to •'•dtiage. It. was simply a question of
eotnitig on public account or private, ac- I
count.
A lengthy exposition of tlie process and
history ot coin: ge followed.
George Fred Williams, uti Massachusetts,
prt.s'.'nted a long series of questions, to
which .Mi. .Mil maty attempted to reply,
but was cut elf by thi ciamor of the fiatists
to be heard.
John I'. Irish, of San Francisco, defended
tlie gold standard in a lew words.
Chairman Towne came back at tile gold
men : contention tiiat value cannot be ;
I'gislated into a substance by saying legis- 1
li.mii can affect value. T’im only value
money lias is its exchange value.
Two of tlie middle-of-the-road editors of
the Reform Bress .Association, O. H. .Hol
singer. l i Indiana, and Ali Reed, of lowa,
11. '.n.igi r to lie Imat'd on their theories of
alismtite liatism. Reed created a scene by
charging the gold standard advocates witit
being paid hirelings of the "ankers and
11 • money power.
This evening A. W. Wright, of Chicago,
I'laborated upon a plan- for a free banking
system without government supervision;
ITmtessor J. Allen Smith, of tlm Washing
ton state university. contended for tlie
quantitive tlumry as regulative of prices,
and Cotigressma 11 Dearniond, of Missouri,
pictured a grew.-onu future with only a 5
per cent gold reserve to redeem an immense
volume of bank paper under the present
system in case of general panic.
Time was allowed Cimgressmaii McCleary
to give his reasons for an ideal banking
system.
Tlie closing argument tor fiatism was
made by General Wurner. He sat’d tho
other side had practically admitted the
quantitive theory of money by contending
for a larger bank issue.
