Senator Brown in the debate on the

I'D the modest Hoar by using the old

B. F. Butler of Massachusetts for presi-
dent, and Gen. West of Mississippi for

es the action of congress in taking of

favors the submission of constitutions
oil amendment for universal suffrage
regardless of sex. and upon the subject
of the liquor traffic; demands gov
eminent postal telegraph system, de-
nounNs stock-watering, monopolies,
railroad land grants, etc.; demands a
graduated income tax, and that labor
be elevated and protected against the
importation of foreign paupers. While
declaring for wise revision of tariff
laws, the platform asserts that the inn
portance of an economic question is
insignificant as compared with the
financial issues.
