Indiana Silver Movement Within Democratic Party
Indiana's Silver league executive committee reports steady organization across districts with county chairmen often drawn from existing Democratic ranks. President Allen W. Clark says the movement stays within the party and refuses ties to Chicago free silver meetings, aiming for a spring reorganization without a current convention plan. Joe Patchen defeats John R. Gentry at the Sioux City fair drawing 15000 spectators. Patchen wins heats including a record-like 28 1/2 last quarter, narrowly beating Gentry in the final stretch.
