resOIuuOn 10 pay pne cnairnldn OI the
state executive committee salary of
81 200 per year was made, but the
convention refused 10 suspend the
rules and it had to wait with the bal
anee. On motion a committee of
three was appointed to wait on the
committee on resolutions and see how
soon they would be able to report.
The committee reported that the reso-
luton committee would probably be
ready TO report in an hour.
The convention on motion took a
recess for thirty minutes.
After extending the thirty minutes
to one hour the convention rsassem-
bled, when a committee Of three was
appointed to wait on the committee
ON resolutions and see how soon they
would be ready 10 report. Before the
committee of three could get out Of
the house the resolution committee
marched in ready to report.
The platform may be summarized as
follows: .
First-It denounces the democratic
administration in the usual terms and
reafhrms previous platforms of the re-
publicans of difereLt states. 1t
brands the republican party as the
only party OF progress ETC., in the
usual style. 1t sentures Cleveland for
his vetoes and inserts plank that it
is thought will catch the Knights of
Labor.
The submission plank is in its out
line as follows:
The republican party of Missouriin
convention assembled re-afirm the
priniples that all political power is
vested in and derived from the peo-
pie, that all government of right or
iginates from the people, and
founded upon their will only that the
people have the inherent right to
alter amend or abolish any part of
this constitution, when ever they
deem it necessary for their safety Or
happiness and that when it is made
manifest that majority of the people
favor submission of a constitutional
announcement repeating or effect
ing the traffic in intoxicating liquors
in this state, it is the duty of the leg
islation to submit the same in order
TO enable people to vote upon
It's adoption or rejection.
At $3.50 j. P. Upton, of Polk
offered the following substitute for
both the majority and minority re-
ports on the submission plank:
Resolved, That whenever a respectable
number Of citizens of the state shall peti-
ion the legislature, for the submission of
my proposition TO amend, change or mod
fy the constitution In any matter which
S proper subject Of organic Law, their re-
quest shall be granted.
The substitute was submitted to the
with little or no discussion,
md upon vote by counties, was
4dopted by 557 yeas to 46 nays.
This was a great victory for
he observation-disclosures. St. Louis
nd Kansas City voted solid
or it. By comparison of Sec
ion s of the majority report as fol-
ows: ..... '...l
The republican party of Missouri,
