COMMITTEE ON RESoLUIlONS.
Immediately after the adjournment Of
the convention the committee on resolu-
tions met in the room set apart for it in
the convention building, and organized
by electing the Hon. Thomas F. Bayard,
OF Delaware, ex-secretary of state under
the Cleveland administration, as chair
man of the committee, and @. II. Jones,
of Missouri, as secretary.
Several resolutions were introduced but
action thereon deferred until the next
meeting Of the committee. Most Of these
referred to the tariff and silver questions,
the tariff resolutions being of decidedly
radical character, and declaring in sub.
stance for tariff for revenue only. There
were half dozen resolutions introduced
on the finance question, those from the
silver states and some of the southern
states being emphatic in the declara-
tons for the free and unlimited coinage
of silver, but those from the eastern states
usually disposing Of the subject by de-
mand for "honest money"
The following resolutions offered by
Representative Bacon, which has been
endorsed by the Democratic committee
on banks and banking OF the national
house of representative, OF which commit
tee Mr.. Bacon is chairman, was in
troduced:
Resolved, That we recognize that the
national banking system under existing
laws, and partly by reason of the dimin-
ished amount and increased priae Of the
bonds Of the United States have become
inadequate to the needs of the people,
and we pledge the Democratic party to
such an amendment, and alterations Of
the law relating to banking, as will afford
to all localities the opportunity to supply
themselves with adequate ban king faclli-
ties and safe and properly distributed
currency.
