VERMONT PoPUA1srro PLATFORM
Rings the Changes on the Familiar Words
 and Phrases.


 Montpelier, Vt, July 2S.-When the populistic convention reassembled this afternoon T. s. Maginnis of Jericho ad- dressed the convention. The commit tee on resolutions reported as follows:
 That all money be issued by the gen. eral government only, and without the introduction of any private citizen, corporation or banking institution. It should be based upon the wealth, sta bility and integrity of the nation, and we demand that it be made legal ten der for all debts, public and private, and of sufficient volume to meet the de- mands Of business for the purpose of honestly liquidating obligations.
 We demand the free and unlimited coinage of silver at the American ratio of 16 to 1 without the consent of other nations. and that the exemption of saw ings banks deposits be limited to $500. We demand legislation to prevent levy ing taxes upon property not actually owned.
 The resort to bribery as an instru- mentality for carrying elections and for securing legislation or court decisions, being QlreCL IHTuSl at lAlo FCiy iAAS of free government and no less an act of treason than firing on our country's flag, we. therefore, demand an act Of congress making it, in law as in fact a capital crime for both the receiver and giver of bribes in any form, and punishable as such. We endorse the principles O. the Omaha platform as enunciated in the peoples convention platform adopted in St. Louis July 26, 1896.
 The platform is decidedly ambiguous, but it's phraseology is exactly as re- ported from the committee. Dr. w. s. Curtis of West Randolph, Miles D. Bak- CT of Burlington, N. c. Wilder of Waits field and George S. McAllister of Stowe were nominated as electors. The nom- nations for state officers were as fol- lows:
 Governor, Joseph Batelh of Middle bury; lieutenant governor. William Dexter of Shieffield; secretary of state, A. T. Way of Burlington; auditor. A. T. Cluff of Waterbury; treasurer, Dan- ,eI Sallies of Montpelier.
