vanguard of the campaign. which is just
beginning. We are not here to indorse a
plank in the Republican platform,
but neither are we here to in
dorse plank advocated by a gentle
man who has been championing the
cause of the unlimited coinage of silver at
sixteen to one. We believe in the Democ-
racy and craftsmanship of Grover CIeve-
land and that is why we indorse him."
He moved in conclusion the adoption of
the majority report and called for the
previous question.
Chairman Berry said that both the con-
