| of that resolution. The success OF the
men who believe that when gold is
meant gold should be spoken, and that
what is intended should be said,
changes the aspect of affairs only in
that the gold plank will come before
the convention in the form of a major
ity report, instead of minority sub
stitute.
AS far as elected, the committee on
resolutions has large majority for
gold in the platform. The following
states will so vote when the test comes,
according to the declarations made by
mem bers of the delegation and by COM
mitteemen themselves: Alabama, Ar
kansas, Connecticut, Illinois, Indiana,
Indian territory, Kentucky, Louisiana,
Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts,, Min
nesota, Missouri, Nebraska, New
Hampshire, New York, New Jersey,
North Dakota. Ohio, Oregon, Pennsyl-
vania, Virginia, Vermont. Washington,
Wisconsin.
Then there are four states who are
against the free coinage of silver, but
object to the word gold" in the plat
form and want a declaration for sound
money. These are Iowa, Kansas, Mich
igan, South Carolina.
There are some who are not yet de-
termined, but the division in Florida
and the deadlock in the District of Co
lum bia will both result in the selec-
tion of gold men.
The out and out silver men will come
from the following states and terrific
ries: Arizona, Colorado, California,
Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico.
Texas, Utah, Wyoming.

the committee on resolutions, that he
was not satisfied with the gold plank.
The announcement was surprising
in view of the fact that Mr.. Platt
had practically declared himself
perfectly satisfied after the conference
last night with Foraker, Merriam and
Lodge, and early this morning the New
York delegates were jubilating over
the possibility of at least carrying that
one point even if their candidate did
not succeed When the report con.

with kilograms from eastern fnanciers.

the use of silver as currency, but to the
extent only that it's parity with gold
