1 Oil GOLD STANDARD. NET CONVENTION .NDIAN APOLI9. ha! Democratic Party rf Vtlll ttoleeatlnn Ftnplre State's Itoolaratloa of Principles Vermont Goes Repnbllcan by a t.or( Major?. IndiawAPoUs, Pppt. 8. Senator John M. Palmar of Illlnnls, chairman of tha provlnlonal committee appointed at Chi cago five wonks ago, oalld the convention of gold standard Democrats to order In Tomllnion hall. Over 800 delegates are present, representing 41 or 43 states and Territories. Considering the faot that the original nail for the meeting of representa tive of ten middle western stated was on ly lraued July 80, the managers feel that they have reason to foel proud of the re nit of their work. Kx-Govprnor Hoswell P. Flower of New York win named hy the national ootuinlt tea for temporary chairman. Among those now most prominently mentioned as candidates are Secretary J. Sterling Morton, Secretary Carlisle, Gen eral John O. black of Illinois, Penntor Vilas, Senator Palmer, ex-Congressman Outhwnlte, and there Is still some talk of Senator Gray of Delaware. Despite his firm refusal, General Traceyof New York, Senator Gray and Comptroller Eukelt cling to the suggestion of Vilas, hut the Wisconsin senator Insists that the liariger state Is for Uragg and that he does nnt de sire the honor. David Lawler of Minne sota Is for Secretary Carlisle. The Ken tuoklnn's name is received with favor, but there Is an undereurrent of opinion that the nomination of any one connected with the administration would be unwise. The eastern delegates as a rule are taking no haud In the selection of the candidates. They say they are willing to let the pre vailing sentiment In the central, middle western and border states, where tho main battleground la, govern In thla matter. The Carlisle Currency Plan. A currently plaAk which la reoelvlng tnuoh favorable consideration la one which baa been Indorsed by the treasury depart ment and oontaina sufrgmtlous by Secre tary Carlisle. It la largely on the line whloh he baa advocated In the finance committees In congress. It la aa followa: "We reoognlr.e the fact that the existing ourrenoy system of the United States, crented In a period of national stress, la not based upon aound and aelentlflo prin ciple and requires serious revision to adapt It to the needs of commerce and pro duction. The tendency of the ayatam of government paper money and national bank notes based upon bonded aeourlty has been to restrict circulation where It waa needed, to accumulate idle oapltnl In a few centers, to subject the rate of Interest to the fluctuations and radical Inequalities in different sections, to re strict enterprise and cripple Industry, to make currency scarce in tlmea of business activity and redundantly plentiful In tlmea and places where It waa not needed and at uch tlmea to expel the aurplua in the form of gold, the money of International ex change. The gold stan&ard haa not been the cauae, but the vlotitn, of these condi tion. The banks also have been the vlo tinis of laws not of their making, the re sult of war necessities, and have inourred unmerited hostility becntiRe they have been prevented by these laws from render ing the services to agriculture, industry and oommeroe which should be their legit imate and natural funotion under a proper currency system. " We believe that the protection of the publlo credit against the result of agita tion for the debaaement of the metallio standard baa been rendered doubly diffi cult by the defective chnractor of our pa per ourrenoy. The gold standard hna borne the odium of events for whloh It la not re aponaible and whloh should be directed agalnat the vicious policy of government paper currency aubject to perpetual reis sue. The sale of bonds for gold on four oocaBlona during the past three years baa been due to the fact that the existing our renoy system haa thrown anon the treas ury an obligation whloh ahould be Im posed by law upon the banks. Thla sys tem of legal tender paper haa brought dis credit and aufforlug to every people who have resorted to it and has been discard ed by every civilized state whloh has sought to plaoe Ita ourrenoy upon a sound and aelentlflo basin. "We demand therefore that the Initial stops be taken for the withdrawal from circulation of the legal tender notes or for a change of the exist ing system of redemp tion and reissue, and we demand, in ordor that there may be no Improper contraction of the ourrenoy and that It may be capa ble of ready adjustment to the demands of business that the present banking laws be so modified as to Interpose no obstacle to the creation of an elaatio banking our renoy, subject to such control as shall In sure uniformity, security and redemption In standard coin on demand." Tba ftyracaes Convention. Sahatoga, Sept 8. The state conven tion of the gold standard Democracy held here elected ex-Secretary Charles 8. Fair child as permanent chairman and named tbe following delegates at large to the na tional oonventlon at Indianapolis: Ros well P. Flower of Watertown, General Charles Traoey of Albany, Edward M. Shepard of Brooklyn, General George Ma gee of Watkina. Judge Robert Earl and x-Secretary Whitney were nominated foi leotora at large. The following platform was adopted : The Democrats of the state of New York as sembled in oonventlon at Syracuse adopt Uu lot owing platform : Tho maintenance of tbe constitution In iti integrity; tba preservation of the national credit unimpaired and too national honor un sullied ; tha freedom of tha individual to en gage in all the pursuits of Ufa unhampered by the interferenoe of paternal government, and tbe right of every cltisen to noelve tbe re ward of his labor undiminished by a debased standard of value are fundamental and essen tia! prlnoiples of the Democratic party. We repudiate the Ohloago platform and Ita supplement, the Populist platform adopted at bt. Louis, because both violate and attack all lbeee Demooratio principles. We repudiate the nominations of the Chica go oonventlon. Ita candidate for president stands as auob upon the Populist platform, wltb its demands for unlimited paper money distributed direct to the people, and its social isllo and anti-Amerloan demands for the ex tension of paternal government, as he does up on tbe platform adopted at Chicago. He active ly sought the Populist nomination. Having ob tained It, be has never rejected it, and be has never repudiated the declarations of the Pop ulist platform. More than all, we deplore tho outburst ot sectional bate wbioh attended the adoption of tbe Chicago platform and tba detestable at tainpl to divide a UaiooruUo people, all stand ing with equal rights and opportunities before tbe law, into rich and poor, and under tbe Stimulus of tbe class prujudloe tbus aroused to treat with reckless contempt the views of tbe large and earnest minority in tbe ooaven tlua who sought to oonnue its ntteranos to a declaration of Ueinoora&io principles. Tbts platform Is aooepted by the presidential Suin!nse of toe oonventlon in the spirit ie which it was adoptrd. Every sprecb as dellv ers is tired with innaniuislory appeals to In. poor against the rub, n a base, un-Auierloai and antisocial effort to obtain votes by ereat lug and stimulating a passloaata elasa hatrat among our people. We appeal to our bein ooretio fwllow cituecs seriously to oooalde. this, which Is the grsvest fsature of tha psnd ing elections.

Repudiate the Chicago Platform. We repudiate the Chicago platform becanat it proposes to substitute for our present stand ard of value, which is ennui to the beat In tht world, an nnatable and depreciated standard which has bono rejected by every clvlllcec and prosperous and oommereiRl nation anc which would put us on s monetary level with China, Jlenloo and other countries where la bor Is notoriously nnderpald. The Chicago platform declares against goH monometallism snd advocates legislatloi which must Inevltahly lead to sliver mono metallltm. It advocates s monetary systert which would offer sn unlimited field of specu ls4ion to the capitalist, but would materially reduce tho purchasing power of every dollal paid to the wage earner snd punish hones! thrift by depreciating tha value of every sav bias bank dtpoall and every life Insurance pot Icy. We heartily commend the administration ol Orover Cleveland. He has been loyal to tht principles of true Democracy. His admlnls trntion has been efficient, honorable and eco nomlcal. He deserves the thanks of the whoit people and haa earned and will receive tht praise of a grateful posterity. We hold that It la the duty of the govern ment of the United States in the exercise) ol its constitutional functions la respect to coin age snd currency to follow snd not to forot the preferences of the people. The gold stand srd Is a monetary fact which 4-annot bt changed by act of congress. In the face of tht long continued existence of that standard lr the United States and the unmistakable world wide selection of gold in preference to silvet as a monetary standard, sny attempt to tam per with that standard is vicious in principle, dishonest in practice, destructive of oonfldenot and thoroughly nn-Demooretlo. We are there fore in favor of a firm and nnvarylng mainte nance of the present gold standard of value so long ss that standard continues to be a mone tary fact. Ws believe that the federal government should he directly divorced from the business of banking and therefore demand the repeal of all laws authorising the issue of legal ten der or treasury notes by the government or the reissuing of suoh notes when they have only been redeemed in gold. We favor the en actment by congress of such legislation as will permit the establishment of a banking curren cy ample in volume for the needs of business, readily adjusting itself to such needs, abso lutely secure in every contingency and at all times redeemable in gold. We are opposed to Republican protection. We recognise in protection, by which tha fed eral power of taxation on Imports is exercised for the benefit of a class, the mslnstay of trusts, the parent of monopoly, tha fruitful son roe of tha present political dangers whloh threaten the nation. The Bland- Allison set of 1B78 snd the so call ed Sherman act ot IBM were measures largely designed to afford protection to the producers of sliver, and the latter sot, under whloh from IKK) to 18H8 the government of the United States purchased monthly t, (WO. 000 ounces of silver, nearly six tons dnlly, and issued; treas ury notes therefor, so threatened the national credit snd produoad anch distrust of the pow er of the government to maintain the standard of value that to it far more than to any other influence is due the business depression of the last three years snd the consequent free silver agitat ion which finds in that depression its on ly hope of success. As Democrats loyal to the maintenance of the constitution and sealous in our support of the credit and honor of onr country, we can not indorse the candidates nominated at Chi cago, nor the champion of Republican prohib itory protection nominated at St. Louis. We declare therefore that the approaching con vention at Indianapolis should nominate on s Democratic platform Democratic candidates, to whom we pledge our hearty support, snd we instruct onr delegates to that convention to use every effort to bring about such nom inations. . Republicans Carry Green Mountalu State. Wbiti RrvKR JuMOTioif, Vt., Sep. 8. The Green Mountain state declared for Joslah Grout, Republican, of Derby for governor and for the Kepublloan state tlokst entire by a majority that equaled the prediction of the most confident Re publican managers. The count In all sec tions of the state shows substanltal Re publican gains and Indicates that the ma jority for the Republican state ttoket will be about 83,000. H. Henry Power, tbe Republioan congressional oandldate In the First dlstrlot and; William W. Grout in the Second are both re-elected by In creased majorities, and the state senate and bouse are In the control of the Repnbllo ana by praotloally ths same majority as two years ago. The weather generally was cool and fair throughout the state and brought out the hundreds of Repub lioan voters who have not been to tbe polls for years. Praotloally the full Republio an vote was oast. On tha other hand, the lack of organisation In the Demooratle ranks was very apparent Many Dem ocrats who do not Indorse the platform of the Chloago oonventlon remained away from the polls, while the mors dissatisfied ones voted for the Republican tloket. Tbe antagonism to Grout, resulting from the convention whloh nominated him, which, it was claimed, would develop In the vote, was not In evldenoe to any great extent. The Republioan state ticket elected II as follows: Governor Joslah Grout of Derby. Lieutenant Governor Nelson W. Flak of Isle La Motte. State Treasurer Henry J". Field of Rut land. Secretary of State Chaunoey W. Brown ell of Burlington. State Auditor Franklin D. Bale of Lu nenburg. Congressman from First Dlstrlot H, Henry Powers of Morrlsvllle.

TO MAKE TURKEY PAY WARSHIPS SENT TO THI L8VANT TO TO SNFORCE OUR OiMANDS. A London Faper Predicts ths ffpeedy Dis solution ef ths Ottoman Kmplrs and the Psrtltloa ef Turkey Echoes of the Bank Selsure Blots, Washikqtom, 8ept. The cruiser Cin cinnati haa been ordered to Constantino ple. It Is welt nnderstood that this action Is for the double purpose of making an Imposing display of foroe If President Cleveland ahould deem It neoessaryand to relieve the Marblehend when Turkish af fairs resume their normal condition. Although the navy department has had this step In contemplation some time. It has created something of a sensation, oom Ing Immediately after the 'tasty fitting ont of the miniature warship Ilnnoroft It Is eipeoted that the Minneapolis will be ordered from Queenatown to Join the San Franolsoo, Marblehrad and Cincin nati outside the Dardanelles. Naval officials affect to attach no espe cial significance to the order sending ths Cincinnati to Constantinople, as the Mar blehend haa been a long time In thoae wa ters, and the period of service of a number of men on that station has expired and they desire to return to the United States. The Cincinnati Is a cruiser of 8.818 torn, carries something like 800 men, la well equipped with rapid Are guna and Is espe cially adapted to active work In the Bos phorus. She is now with Admiral Bunne's fleet off the North Atlantic coast and will reach the Dardanelles In the latter part of October, about the time the Bancroft reaches Constantinople. The Ban Fran cisco, now at Aleiandrla, and the Mar blehead, at Genoa, will meet the Cincin nati at Smyrna. ' -stay Be For Onr Minister's Protection. The faot that these vessels are to ren detvous at Smyrna and go as fleet to the Dardanelles gives rise to the Impres sion that Minister Terrell will only await their arrival to make such demands upon the Turkish government as may result In his Immediate withdrawal from the olty to take refuge upon warships sent to pro tect him. Delay In paying Amerloan missionaries In Armenia for property destroyed by the sultan's soldiers during tbe massacres, failure to keep promises and an apparent disinclination recently to adjust the mat ter at all, have made the state department Impatient, and it Is known to be the fixed determination of both the president and Secretary Olney to exaot payment In full for damages austalned by oltisens of the United States. Official dispatches exohanged between the secretary of state and the United States minister at Constantinople show that this government's policy with re gard to Turkey has not been less vigorous than that displayed In dealing with Spain, which resulted in the settlement of the Ions; delayed Mora olalm and immediate consideration of large number of other olahns. The destruction of American mission property In the Philippine islands was settled for In a comparatively brief time by the Spanish government paying the sum demanded. Many More Armenians ftlaln. Londow, Sept 8. The Constantinople correspondent of The Times cables an an nouncement to the effect that the embas sadors of the powers are preparing a note to the sultan supplementary to the recent note and telegram of warning In whloh the sublime porta was told that failure to suppress the riots In the streets of Con stantinople precipitated by the attack on the Ottoman bank by the Armenians waa endangering the exigteuoe of the Turkish empire. In this latest note from the rep resentatives ot the powers the whole blame for last week's events is laid upon the shoulders of the government of Turkey. A dispatch to Tbe Daily News from Constantinople says that among tbe vic tims of the recent riots were nany rloh Armenians. Several coses are reported where the Armenians, being brought to bay, fought splendidly, and from 800 to 400 Turkish soldiers were killed. A dlspatoh to Tbe Dally News from Ber lin says that very serious news has been received there by way of Athens, to the ef fort that massaores have again been oom menoed In several places in Asia Minor, and that many Christians have been killed and wounded as a result of these recent outbreaks.

London, Aug. 81 A dlspatoh to The Times from Constantinople says that the Joint note of the embassadors of the pow srs asking the sublime port to suppress the disorders In Constantinople without delay falling to have the desired effect the representatives of the powers dispatched a joint telegram warning the sultan that be endangered the Turkish empire by suffer ing the oontlnuanoeof anarchy by the oon nlvanoe of the imperial troops and the po lios. It Is said that the aultan trembled when he received this warning telegram.

Somewhere In ihs fastness of Bear swamp, an Impenetra ble tract 80 miles square near Indian Mills, three hunted negroes are In hiding, while an armed posse of over 60 offloers and eltlieni la searching for them, and the Woods ars being scoured In every direction. Death stares them in the face, for It will be the reward of surrender or capture, while If they succeed In eluding their pur suers starvation or suicide are their only alternatives.

Ever slnoe the brutal murder of Johann Heoke of Burlington Inst Saturday week the officers and citizens have beerTmovt active in their effort to captors the ne groes. The murdered man lived alone In his little shop, and the murderers visited him near midnight, stunned him by a blow on the head with a coupling pin and then strangled him to death with a piece of railroad bellonrd. After robbing his clothes and taking all else of value they left. Thomas Cromwell is the only one of the negroes whose Identity Is positively known. He was seen to enter the shop, remain In hour and depart with a cheery "Good night, Johann" to the dead man In the chair. Then he disappeared and was not hsard from nntll last Snnday, when word reached Monnt Holly that he had been seen and recognised at Indian Mills, If) miles south. Three negroes were met on the road near theawamp, and when one of them was asked If hla name waa Cromwell all turned, jumped the fence and took to the woods. A Posse Organised. Constable Mllle- at once organised a enrolling party and secured for it the servloes of several men who are thorough ly familiar with the paths In the thick woodland. Fast horses were procured,' and the ride to the spot where the men had been seen was made In qulok time. The first party oame upon three negroes lying on the grass by the roadside. They jumped to their feet ae the team approaoh ed and appeared frightened. Constable Miller got out and began questioning them, and, their answers being evasive, he reached out his hand to take Crom well's arm, saying: "You must come to the hotel with me." Whereupon the trio made a quick leap backward thrnngh the thioket, and before the aatonlahed offlolal realized the situa tion thoy were out of his grasp. Then he drew his revolver and sent three balls at Cromwell. It Is believed that the last one took effeot, for the man fell, and, on arising a second later, grab bed his leg as In pain, bnt he managed to make off in the direction his companions bad taken. e Constable Miller returned to Small's hotel, at Indian Mills, and told of the es cape.
