ment of the party will fight Majors during

In the capacity Of President of the state
Senate; a man who has consorted with the

given above.
Only one set of resolutions were sub

reciprocity with our sister republics of
Mexico, South and Central America and the
government OF the West India islands"
As TO the financial situation the conven-
ton declares the party in Nebraska has
always been the consistent friend and ag-
gressive champion OF honest money. and
that IL now takes no step backward" While
favoring bimetallism and demanding the
use of both gold and silver as standard
money the convention insists that the
parity of the value of the two metals be
maintained. so that every dollar, paper or
coin. issued by the government shall be as
good as any other"
Continuing the platform says: I'VE
