At o'clock tho committee on pro-
gramme and platform reported through
Senator Daniel that it was unable to re-
port. whereupon the conferecne decided
to adjourn until tomorrow at 10 q. M.
1t is generally understood among the
delegates that the important work of the
conference is being done by the commit
tee.
Senator Daniel reported to the confer
ence at o'clock that the committee had
not authorized the draft OF platform,
and none OF the members was able to say
when the report would be completed,
The proceedings OF the conference de-
veloped some differences of opinion as to
the line OF policy to be reccmmende ed.
bat these were not of a sufficiently radi-
cal nature to cause apprehension of a
! serious delay.
The committee proceedings indicated
that the report, when made, will recon-
mend tine issuance OF an address to the
| Democratic party of the country, urging
in very strong terms the maintenance Of
| the silver cause in the Democratic ranks.
and also outlining plan of reorganiza-
tion of the silver forces in the party with
a view to the selection Of delegates to the
next national convention. This plan
will probably embrace the appointment
of central committee. with member
from each state and territory. which
shall in turn select mem ber from every
county, the latter to have the powor tU
| appoint member for every voting pre-
cinct in his county. The plan includes
a provision for national headquarters,
probably at Washington.
Immediately after adjournment today
the resolution and programme commit
tees were called to order and remained
in session several hours, each member
reporting the condition of the silver
movement in his state and making sug-
gestions for strengthening tho free coin
age sentiment. 1t was decided to relegate
