James X. Polk, of Duck river, Tennessee,
also came from the farm to the presidency.
This selection of presidents from rural

there was no profession or calling which
held a more exalted position in public esti
alton than that of agriculture.

THE PLATFORM.
Inc resolutions adopted reafnrm the plat
form of the national Democratic conven-
ton of 1892. and demand of Democratic rep
resentatives in congress that they carry
out the same in good faith; by giving us
tariff law that will lay the duties on
imports for revenue only, and thereby de-
stroy trusts, combines and organizations.
1t indorses Cleveland's administra ton;
favors the election of United States sena-
tors by popular vote; condemns the mulct
law; favors the repeal of the present pro-
hlb1tory law; demands that state nstitu-
tlons De left to non-partisan anagement
ana denounces as un-American any society
or organization that is pledged to deprive
any citizen of his right to vote or hold
once on account of his religious beliefs or
nationality.
Inc nrst financial plank is as follows
with the national Democratic conven-
tlon OF 1892 we hold to the use Of both gold
ana silver without discrimination against
otner metal or charge for mintage, but the
dollar unit of coinage of both metals must
De OF equal intrinsic value and we demand
that all paper currency shall be kept at
par with and redeemable in such coin.
And we favor such legislation as will
faithfully carry out these pledges to the
people,
The minority report was as follows:
We favor bimetallism, the use of both
gold and silver as the standard money of
the country and for the coinage of both
gold and silver without discrimina ting
against either metal. We also demand
part of our government as will increase
the coinage of silver and maintain it in
equal value with gold.
A roll call was ordered on the minority
report and it was defeated by vote of
697 to 329. Adjourned.

Futtz May Not Testify Unless He
Can Question Witnesses.
(By Associated Prsss.)

WASHINGTON, May 2l.-The Commit
tee to investigate the charges OF at
tempted bribery in the Senate were on
hand promptly at 10 o'clock to-day In
the room Of the Committee on Privileges
and Elections. Senator Hunton was at
the meeting as a witness. The Commit
tee temporarily suspended operations to
20 into the Senate to make n quorum.
C. w. BUTTE, with his attorney, was
without the doors of the committee
room, and there were other expected
witnesses in the corridors. Senator
KYLE was in his seat in the Senate
chamber.
Mr.. Buttz, through his attorney, made
a verbal application to be present and
examine witnesses. Hearing nothing
from 1t, he then made a written appli-
cation.
At IL o'clock Mr.. Buttz had received
no answer to his demand to be present.
He said that II the Committee would
give him no opportunity to cross-ex-
anime witnesses he would demand a
transcript of the evidence taken before
he gave his testimony, n II 1t was not
furnished he would refuse to testify.
Senator Kyle was the second witness
called. He was before the Committee
for more than an hour. and when ex-
cused was informed that he would prob
ably be called again. He stated that he
was first approached by Butte about two
months ago with the proposition to vote
against the Tariff bill and receive pay
for his vote, the amount offered being
l 1900, as has been stated In the news
papers.
In reply to a question. Senator Kyle
said he was confident that BUTTE repre-
scented other parties. and that the propo,,
sition, If 1t had been accepted, would
have been made good.
Senator Kyle also stated that BUTTE
had intimated to him that, II $4,000 was
not enough, he could have almost any
sum he would name. as high as $1,000.
The, Committee took a recess at
man of the Committee, being seen at
tina time. said he testimony so far
taken was not materially, different from
that which had been published, except
that the facts were given more In detail
than they had been given to the public
through the press,
the inquiry into the attempt to bride
Senators Hunton and Kyle would be
concluded within a day or two. He also
stated that the testimony so far given
had not placed the Committee in pos
session OF any names OF persons who
could throw light upon the question
other than those which have already
been published.
Chairman Gray also stated that the
Committee had not vet formulated any
plans for the investigation OF the opera
tons OF the Sugar Trust. in connection
with legislation in the Senate.
When senator Graz was asked what
the Committee had decided to do in
response to Mr.. BUTTS request TO be
allowed to be present while other wit
nesses were being examined, hat he
might question them, ne said the re-
quest had been denied, as had "A similar
