The Wheeling daily intelligencer. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1865-1903, 1893-06-09

was now read by Challmm Perkins,
The report was adopted unanimously
by rising vote as follows;
THE PLATFORM.
The platform reafIirms the principles
adopted by the convention Of 1892 com,
mends the administration OF Benjamin
Harrison; expresses great pride in the
administration Of Governor Mckinley /;
indorses the work OF the last Ohio leg
islature and recommends biennial ses-
sions. The sixth, seventh and eighth
resolutions are as follows
We favor the policy of full and ade'
quate protection to American labor in
dustries, The best eXempli6cation OF
the reciprocity that has found expres-
sion in the statutes is the Mckinley
act We cordially declare our adhesion
to the doctrines of that great measure
and favor such amendments thereto for
protection as time and experience may
show to be advisable. We condemn
the bill passed by the Democratic mai
ority in the house OF representatives OF
the last Congress and the present
avowed policy OF the Democratic party
to place wool on the free list, as an un-
just and ruinous attack on all the agri.
cultural industries OF the country. We
insist on such full and adequate protec-
ton for the wool industry as will en-
able American farmers to supply the
wool required for consumption in the
United States We indorse the policy
OF tho national grange: "That all tariff
laws shall protect the products of the
firm "a well as the products of the fac
tory"
Continuing, tine platform calls for a
free ballot and fair count; demands
laws preventing the importation OF
vicious and criminal classes and con-
tract laborers; adheres to tue Republi-
can policy OF granting pensions to
wounded and disabled Union soldiers
and sailors and the widows OF such as
are deceased. Tho platform concludes
MS follows;
We favor honest money. composed OF
gold, silver and paper, maintained at
equal value, and under national and not
state regulation Tho financial honor
Of the country must be maintained and
it's credit preserved unimpNired The
weak and vacilitating course Of the
present national administration in deal
ing with the financial situation meets
our condemnation. Wo denounco the
avowed purpose of the Democratic
party to repeal "the prohibitory 10 per
cent tax on state bank issues;" its pur-
pose is to abandon tho pfssont cur.
rency aystem, established by the Ro.
publican party, the safest and best ever
provided in any nation, and to supply
its place with a currency issued under
the authority OF each ono OF our forty
four states, which can never bo either
safe or Of uniform value,
The denomination OF the present state
officers was resumed. They went
through with rush until the conven-
tion came to food and dairy commis-
sioner. Instantly there was a fight,
and the present incumbent, McNcill,
who has been charged with obnoxiously
rigid enforcement OF the pure food laws,
found himself pitted againat new man,
Walter Brown. Tho fght was largely
tho cities against the country,
Attempts were made before tho roll
call ended to withdraw Brown in the
interest OF harmony. This was finally
successful and McNeill was nominated
with hurrah, during which the dele
gates and spectators crowded up to
shake McKinley's hand and the con-
yention adjourned sine die.
