The Oregon Democratic State Convention endorses free silver, instructing delegates to back a free silver presidential candidate. Speakers condemn Republican cowardice and urge unity, with a platform calling for single gold and silver standard and various reform measures. Delegates nominated for judicial and congressional seats amid platform dispute.
Oregon Republicans closed their state convention endorsing a Republican platform aligned with sound money, rejecting free silver at 16 to 1, and electing four delegates to the national convention. The platform defends protective tariffs, national defense, coastwise shipping, and a single gold and silver standard under law.
