rrAn,-MAnF PLATFORMS
There has been more or less talk. how
ever, lately about a certain platform
adopted IN 1892 at Chicago, and also one
In Ohio recently, and this has stimulated
an enterprising firm to establish here IN
Washington platform bureau.
The firm has mailed TO each member or
Congress a letter setting forth the fact
that as his attention was not necessarily
objected to matters here that the nrm
would at moderate cost prepare and fur-
nish for him a set Of resolutions and a
platform to be sent to his district con-
The only information the firm requires
for the resolutions decentralization or
anti.
For the platform the firm wants more
data. They must know # the district Is
a city or country constituency, or, If
combination Of both. which contains the
majority. They also ask regarding the
preponderance Of mining, manufacturing
or agricultural interests. They also must
know whether you are In earnest about
free coinage and bank tax repeal or do
you desire n straddle adroitly built In
glittering generalities. The firm makes no
especial boast Of its ability 10 dress up
local matters. but few suggestions as
! to non-sectarian schools, pool-selling &c.
&c. are thrown in just I'm case the con-
& gressman should want them. II Is not
known yet to what extent the congress
men have aVailed themselves Of this rare
opportunity; but this fact seems reason
ably clear, that all parties IN various
localities are agreed that the question OF
platforms is a coming one.
