hundred delegates were in attendance
when Chairman Hodges called the re-
publican state convention to order. The

mittee on resolutions. which was unani-
mously adopted. after declaring for ju-
dicious restriction of immigration and
the passage OF law authorizing the cre-
alton OF state board of arbitration to

Resolved. That our people, irrespect-
I've Of party affiliations. favor the free
coinage OF silver and believe that our
mints could be safely opened to free
coinage under an administration In
which the people have confidence. We re-
gret that the national convention at 81
Louis did not view this question as we
view II. We accept. however. the assur-
ance Of the party that Its efforts viii b
devoted to the securing of an interna-
tional agreement for the unlimited colin
age Of silver. as sacred pledge. We be-
leve that the pledge will be fulfilled and
we are firmly OF the faith that the re-
monetization OF silver. so essential to the
welfare Of this and all other civilised
countries, will be accomplished through
the efforts and under the direction Of
the republican party Of this country and
through no other. Except upon the silver
question we heartily and cordially en-
dorse the platform OF the party at St.
Louis and we declare our undiminlshed
and unwavering belief In the great doc
trine of protection of American labor
and In American industries. Also. IN rec
iprocity enunciated In the national plat
form"
Continuing the resolution reads: we
favor free silver, but we value free Eov-
ernment more, and while the success OF
the party upon the Chicago platform
might bring silver monometnllism II
would afford no hope Of blmetaliism IN
this country"

ticket United States Senator wolcott de-
livered q brilliant speech. Speaking OF the
silver situation he said: I'VE to-day are
the silver republicans and the friends OF
silver are those who believe In both sill
yer and gold. The bimctalliists OF this
country and OF this state are those who
want the two metals side by side and
also want with II the perpetuity Of free
institutions" He said & per cent OF the
people OF the country believed In the
tQuhl coilutc anu use VI kbtu slt-
yer and that the taking Of one or the
other from circulation must ppreciate
the value Of the remaining metal and
bring disaster on this country and the
delay OF civilization. He denounced the
Chicago platform. calling Its tenets an
archistlc.
