| "whether they intend to let Judge
Montgomery have that seat" "No!'
shouted the delegate. and Judge Cham

Ford. Party Platform.
Hon. NJ. II. Ford. chairman of the
Committee on Resolutions, then read
the following platforms:
The Democratic party of Michigan In
| convention assembled, stand upon and
reatfi.m the platform of the Demo-
| cracy, adopted at Grand Rapids in 1890.
We congratulate the Democrats of
| the National Congress on their splendid
battle against, and permanent defeat of
/ the infamous Force bill.
| The Mckinley bill is q law, but the
Democratic party pledges itself to the
people TO execute their judgment pro-
| nounced in 1890 for the repeal of the
law. and that this shall be done in the
year of our Lord 1898.
| The great communities of farmers are
| too numerous to form effective trusts,
and as this large body of our citizens
| raise surplus, the selling prices must
| by n natural law be fixed by the pr1ces
| of the world : markets abroad.
/ Reciprocity with countries which do
not demand or need our agricultural
products and increase, but which will
