Yarmouth, of the subcommittee APP
pointed to draft the platform, appear
ed and announced that the sub-com-
mittee had been unable to complete
their labors and asked for an adjourn
ment until 10 o'clock tomorrow
The subcommittee had been in ses-
sion from to o'clock, but had not
nearly completed it's labOrs. 1t APP
peared then as if the committee might
be compelled to spend the entire night
in putting the declaration of party
principles into acceptable shape.
The following is. the financial plank
adopted by the subcommittee:
The subcommittee on resolutions
resolve to recommend to the commit
tee on resolutions the following finan-
cial plank:
The Republican party is unrescrved-
w for sound money. 1t caused the
enactment of the law providing for
the resumption of specie payments in
1879; since then every dollar has been
as good as gold.
I'VE are unalterably opposed to the
every measure calculated to debase
our currency, or impair the credit of
our country. We are, therefore, OPP
posed to the free coinage of silver eN-
cept by international agreement with
the leading commercial nations Of the
world. which we pledge ourselves to
promote and until such agreement can
he obtained. the existing gold standard
must be preserved. All our silver and
paper currency now i'm circulation
must be maintained at parity with
gold. and we favor all measures de-

cations of theUnited States and all our
money, whether coinage or paper, at
the present standard, the standard of
the most enlightened nations of the

Senator Teller offered a free silver
resolution as substitute, which was
voted down.
This will go to the full committee
tomorrow.
Mr.. Teller will support a minority re-
port on the money platform, but NOT on
any other feature of the platform. The
Colorado Senator SAYS that the sub
committee was made up unfairly, that
the silver men should have had more
than one on the subcommittee, as
their representation entitled them to
it. Mr.. Teller will carry his fight to

1894. the gold men had nominated
Oates and written the platform, and
there was a fear that they would
do so again. But the silver forces
rallied to thecall of Morgan, Pugh,
Johnston. and Bankhead, and won the
first hot battle in the South. 1t was
won over the opposition, earnest and
active, of some of the States strongest
men. all the office-holders, and the
combined influence of capital. Out in
far away Washington where silver
sentiment is almost unanimous, three
gold men slipped into the delegation,
the people thinking they were for sill
yer. The contest in Michigan was the
hottest and bitterest, and the gold
men won by methods that could not be
approved anywhere. In every other
State. there has been the same war
fare, and every inch of ground has
been contested. Silver has won only
because the masses. who favor it and
have always favored it, were aroused
to action. and under intelligent leader.
shin, have won. over men accustomed
to control primaries and conventions
To secure this victory they have had
to ride over the wishes OF men they
had long followed, and in some in
stances, as notably in Kentucky, to
utterly repudiate leader who had
long been followed with implicit conf
dencei.
Sometime in the early part of the
contest between Russell and Dockery,
the Russell men started a story to the
effect that Dockery had been elected
Governor in 1888, but had surrendered
his office to the Democrats in eX-
change for the position of consulto Rio.
A story more palpably absurd was new
err started except the one that the
gold-bugs are acquiescingi in the control
of the National Democratic convention
by the silver men, and that it is
scheme to fool the people. The in
mates of an insane asylum could not
be deceived by such fairy tales. They
have witnessed the struggle almost to
the death, and know that the silver
men have won over difficulties that
seemed at one time to be insurmounta-
BILE. No, that tale will not deceive
anybody this year

4 well-known aud intelligent citizen
of North Carolina, who has recently
spent some months in Northern Min
nesota, North Dakota, Wisconsin, and
Michigan, in "a private letter, under
date of June 9th says:
let me tell you that our chances of
electing the next President are by no
means the worst. If, as now seems
certain, the National convention shall
declare for the free coinage of sill
yer uncquivocally, ] verify believe that
we win not only carry Indiana and
Illinois, but also Wisconsin. The senti-
ments of the people of Minnesota, as
well as South Dakota, have not been
reflected in the State conventions.
These conventions have been controll-
ed by the people of the towns and
cities, generally the bankers and
boards of trade. But the great body
of the people of all parties in all the
Northwestern country are unmistakea-
bly, in favor of silver. The great ''un-
dertow," as it were, composed of the
farmers, laborers, and producers of all
kinds are ready to break out in open
revolt against the Republican party
if they shall adopt gold plank in their
platform. The same is true of Wiscon-
sin and Michigan. There never has
been a time in the Northwest when
party lines rested so loosely on the
masses as they do to-day"
