reading Judge Flandrau stated that he
had not signed the report of the CON-
mittee, for the reasons which he related
as follows,
81 will have to vote against the resolu-
tions as Whole. not because | do not
find much in them to approve, but
because l would indorse each and every
public act of President Cleveland, and
because L cannot approve the silver
plank, nor the compulsory arbitration
clause. and because | would denounce
all monopolieS and expressions, and not
confine the cenSure to those enumerated.
and because oppose the Recommended
ton OF any candidate OF the Populist
party"
E.W. Durant spoke in complimentary
terms of the main portion of the reso-
lutions, but supported the amendment
of Judge FIandrau.
Daniel Aberle, of st. Paul, moved
that the resolutions be considered by
sections. j. ID. Markham, of Chisago,
asked that the resolutions be read and
adopted by sections. He said the
chairman of the committee had got the
resolutions mixed up with his whis-
kers, and they were not understood at
the first reading.
Il. IL. Gillen, of Stillwater-There are
some objections made by Judge Elan
drau. In Difference to him, as a member
OF the committee. | ask to have the sec
ton read separately. 1t is right that
every person should have right to say
what he wants. The platform may suit
the standard-bearer and not suit voters
of districts. He is only one man. The
convention decided to adopt the reso-
lutions Iseriatim, and Judge McCatferty
was selected to read them.
AS the reading proceeded sections l
and were adopted.
Judge Flandrau moved to amend
section 8. which commended Grover
Cleveland, by inserting provision to
lndOrse his every act as president
Judge McCatferty moved to table the
amendment.
Chairman Mccarthy ruled the amend
ment of Judge McCafferty out of order,
on the theory that it would carry the
whole matter with it.
F. s. Bailey declared his opposition
to the amendment.
John II. Ives suggested that the less
said In the amendment the better, and
advised voting it down.
The amendment of Judge Flandrau
was defeated and the section as read
adopted, Judge Flandrau and a few
others standing by the amendment and
refusing to vote for the clause as read.
After the reading of section z, relative
to trusts, combines, the boycott and
compulsory arbitration, j. d. Markham,
of Chisago county, favored the clause as
read.
Hon. E. w. Durant. of Saltwater, op-
posed the compulsory feature of arbl-
tration. He said the president had ap-
pointed an arbitration committee, and
he thought the point in the resolutions
was already covered.
James Lahiff, of st. Paul, said: 81
want to denounce all trusts and COM
bines. The laboring people, and not the
combines. are depended upon for the
Democratic votes"
Judge Flandrau urged that the word
compulsion. as applied to arbitration, be

yention to do anything that would
drive away votes.
Matt Bantz and j. Fl. Ives spoke
against striking out the word, and de-
clared that it gave strength to the plat
form.
William Jones, an elderly gentleman
OF Merriam Park, made an impressive
speech. He said that the convention
should not pursue a milk and water
policy instead of one of sound DEM
ocracy.
II am glad we are waking up In the
interests of labor. The tendency is to
reduce the laboring men to pauperism.
We must have compulsory arbitration.
The Democratic party has it in Its power
to help the laboring people. The
laboring people belong to the Demo-
crotic party. They should have COM
pulsory arbitration. The Republican
party is great coaXing party, and one
OF false promises, but the Democratic
party stands by the laboring people,"
Judge McCafferty said that the people
do not only want arbitration, but favor
an act making it compulsory.
The amendments of Judge Flandrau
were defeated, and the platform adopted
as all entirety as reported by the mem
bers of the committee excepting Judge
Flandrau, who did not sign the report.
