The silver Question.
I'VE indorse the repeal of the purchas-
fng clause of that cowardly republican
makeshift, the Sherman silver act
of 1880. We reaffirm our belief
that both gold and silver should
be used as the money stand
ard of the country. and that both should
be coined without discriminating against
either metal and without charge for
mintage. We believe il absolutely neceS-
sary to the welfare and prosperity of the
great producing masses that silver
should be restored TO the place it occu-
pied in the currency systems Of the
world quarter of a century ago, and
we hail with delight the many signs Of
a revolution in public opinion in the
great commercial nations in favor of a
restoration Of the bimetallic system. We
pledge our hearty efforts TO secure the
adoption of every measure for the COM
plete restoration of silver TO its proper
place in our monetary system, either
through international agreement or by
such safeguards of legislation shall
insure the maintenance Of the parity OF
the two metals, and the equal power Of
every dollar at all times in the markets
and in payment of debt; and we demand
that all paper currency shall be kept at
par and redeemable in such coin.
Hawaii.
I'VE declare that the present national
administration has acted wisely and hon
orably in permitting the people Of Ha-
all unawed by our naval or military
forces. to manage their own domestic
concerns and 10 place their country IN
the family of republics.
Cleveland and Matthews.
I'VE heartily indorse the able, fearless
and patriotic administration of Grover
Cleveland and especially his course in
maintaining law and order.
I'VE heartily indorse the wise and
patriotic administration Of Governor
Matthews. whose conduct as a public
servant has called forth the commenda-
ton Of the people of every state In the
union and placed our state In the fore
most rank for good governm snt, and
cordially commend the action and con-
duct of our several state officers.
Concerning Pensions.
I'VE remember with gratitude the
patriotic services of the soldiers and
sailors Of the late war. and recognize the
fact that, after the lapse Of thirty years.
and exposures Of army life, many are
passing away and others becoming more
helpless. We therefore demand that CON
gress, i'm the matter Of pensions. shall
not only deal generously, but beautifully
with those aged veterans.
we also reiterate the declaration Of
our convention in 1892 that the state
should provide by liberal appropriation
for the support Of a home where our
