The Platform.
The committee on resolutions reported
the following PLATFORM;
We reaffirm our adherence 10 those prin-
ciples which for more than 30 years have kept
our country 10 the front In the march OF
civilization. As the result OF the temporary
departure Of the nation from those principles
of government practicsed by the Republican
party, we point TO the widespread depres-
sion and complete stagnAtion Of business,
the hundreds Of thousands Of unem-
ployed workingmen, the silent factories,
and the distrust Of tho Democratic party.
We denounce the Wilson bill a. sectional in
It's provisions, subservient to gigantic monop-
olies, as q menace TO varied interests. and We
predict that IL it becomes q law, prosperity
will not return TO our land until the Republi-
oan party 10 again In power. We declare our
belief that the repeal Of the federal election
law was passed In tho Interests sf the
fraudulent election methods Of the
Democratic party. We approve the stren-
uous efforts OF the Vermont ssnatovs and
Representatives os in congress 70 render a. harm
less ss possible the prospective tarin legis-
lation. We favor the continued and extended
use Of silver In our circulation. within the
extent OF the ability Of the sovssnmsas 70
preserve the present parity between gold ana
silver. To this end We will hail with snthu-
sasm all efforts Of the government 20 OBJ
tain an agreement with all other commercial
nations TO secure the free coinage Of silver on
any proper ratio. In state affaiys we promise
q continuance of wise economy where econ
omy is wise, and whore the best interests Of
the state demand. We pledge hearty and en-
thusiastic support to the candidates this day
nominated. We promise that we viii up
hoh the hands OF our gallant leaders In the
coming contest, as were the hands Of Moses
in the wilderness, until victory IL gained.
We pledge ourselves 10 send out next Soptsm-
bsr such greeting TO our fellow Republicans
all over the land as will encourage them 70
bend their every energy to the practical slin-
ination Of the Democratic party a. factor
