THE PLATFORM.
The report of the platform committee elicit
ed good deal of discussion, the following
plank being the bone of contention:
Fourth-We hold that gold and silver coin
| is the money of the constitution; that all pa
per currency should be at all times convertible
in coin at the option of the holder, and that its
volume should be regulated by the business of
the country.
W. NJ. Campbell, of Meeker, offered the fol-
| lowing amendment to the above plank:
Resolved, That we are in favor of the gradual
substitution of national treasury notes for ma
tional bank notes, and making such treasury
notes the sole paper currency of the country
and placed on such basis as that the same shall
be equal in value with coin and . legal tender
the same as coin. We are in favor of the free
coinage of silver, and its restitution to its
| original place as metal, the same as gold.
Messrs. Campbell, 81. W. Hill Of Winona
county, R. A. Jones of Olmsted, and Mr.. Sher-
wood Of Fillmore, advocated the amendment
and o. M. Hall of Goodhue, VIM. Lochren and
Segrave Smith of Hennepin, @. e. Flandrau
and VIM. Lee of Ramsey, and Judge A. x.

form was finally recommitted to the committee,
MIR. Jones resigning, and Messrs. w. NJ. Camp
bell, Meeker, G. d. Sherwood, Fillmore, III.
