The newly elected officers took seats

was loudly apnlauded
There being lull while the com
mittee on resolutions was deliberating
in an ante room, Hon. John b. PEN
ington moved that the convention gu
into an election for delegates to the

Jr., and several other delegates OPP
posed the motion, and when John f.
Callahan called for tine yeas and nays
Mr. Pennington withdrew his motion
and it was decided TO wait for the re-
port of the committee ON resolutions.
After tho committee had been in
consultation for about an hour, it re.
turned and Hon. Il. L. Martin read
the following platform, which had
been unanimously agreed upon by tht
committee:
"The Democracy of Delaware II
convention assembled declare agair
our allegiance TO the cardinal doctrines
OF their political faith, and that there
fore, we are in favor of maintaining
the present monetary standard ant
are opposed to the free coinage o
silver, or to the compulsory purchase
of silver bullion by the government.
"We believe that the true interests
of the peope require that the earningl
of agriculture and trade, and tht
wages of labor should be paid il
money that is intrinsically worth, in al
the markets of the world, what it pur
ports to be worth, and that the govern
J ment should keep all its obligations
all times redeemabe and payable il
money of the standard adopted and il
use by ourselves and by tine most ad
vanced and civilized nations of tn,
world.
"As the party of the plain people o
this country, who for the most par
depend upon the wages they receive
we are opposed to experiments il
} finance which will lessen the pur
chasing power of the money they earn
: I'VE believe that fluctuating cur
rency or falsified money would b
fatal TO the interests OF agricultur
and labor, and would only inure t
the benefit of tine speculator and gol,
gambler; and we uphold the Demo
7 cfallc administration IN lts chorus
maiptain the credit and integrity Q
the government. We believe that th
} Federal government should be di
: vorced from the business of banking
which should be left to the commercia
! activities of the people,

! taxation should be confined to raisin
$ revenue for the needs of the govern
ment economically administered, anl
: that privileged classes should not b
