The silver blade. (Rathdrum, Idaho) 1895-1903, 1895-06-22


Minnesota. It adjourned until 8 D. M.
for an executive session, at which time
= subcommittee Of nine was to be an
by Chairman Robinson and
time given to the silver men and others
for hearing. The resolution Of the
silver men was offered and the oppon-
ents Of free silver, through Mr.. Hunter
OF Missouri, offered the financial
plank Of 1892, also the recent Ohio plank
adopted at GAINESVILLE.
The compromise resolution attracting
most attention was presented by Sena-
tor-elect Thurston Of Nebraska, as fol-
lows:
I'VE approve the declaration OF the
last national convention that the Amer
lean people from tradition and interest |
favor bimetallism and the republican |
party demands the use Of both gold and |
silver as standard money. with such |
restrictions and under such provisions |
to be determined, as will secure the
maintenance Of parity Of the values of
the two metals so the purchasing or
debt-paying power of the dollar, wheth-
er of silver, gold or paper, shall be at
all times equal, and refer the action
for a more specific declaration to the
next republican convention, which alone
has power to bind the party or make
platforms and declare principles
There was no discussion Of the tariff
or any other issues in the committee
except that Of the silver plank, and
no differences of opinion existed in the
committee Of 46 members, except on the
silver question. Nearly all the members
Of the committee were instructed on
the silver question by their respective
40 10 i'll 60 mill ho diff
cult to adopt report. Still it is con-
ceded that majority and minority re-
ports will be presented to the conven-
ton and that the silver question will be
fought out on the floor tomorrow. The
silver men still have confidence in their
strength among the delegates, although
a majority Of the committee is against
them.
