Renort of the Subcommittee of the
Resolutions Committee.
CHICAGO, July S.-The subcommittee on
resolutions reported the following to the
full committee this morning 1t will form
the basis of the platform. Resolutions ia
voring Cuba, approving defeat OF the IA
c.fc railway funding bill and indorsing
lust claims for pensions are also likely to
be added:
We the democrats of the United States
in national convention assembled, do re-
affirm our allegiance to those great, essen
tial principles of justice and liberty upon
which our institutions are founded and
which the democratic party has maintained
from Jeffsrson's time to our own-freedom
of speech freedom Of tie press, freeuom OF
conscience, the preservation or personal
rights the equalityi1of7 all citizens before
the law and the faithful observance OF
constitutional limitations.

paramount to all others at this time we In

Constitution names silver ana gold together

and that the first coinage law passed by
Congress under therGonstitution made the

We declare that the net OF 1873 dcmOne-

We are unalterably opposed to the single
gold standard, which has locked fast the
prosperity of an Industrious people in the
paralysis of hard times. Gold monometal-
ism is British policy, founded upon Brit

BUILDING THE PLATFORM.
Report of the subcommittee on t
Resolutions.

1AcSCAut1Oh1
CHICAGO, July S.-The subcommittee of
the committee on resolutions met again at
$50 o'clock this morning to make a final
revision of the platform before its presen-
tation to the general committee Senator
George made good many suggestions in
the way Of minor verbal changes, a num-
Der of which were adopted. There was no
trouble about reaching an agreement upon
all points save two or three.
First among the subjects upon which there
was difference was. Of course, the money
question. But there were other topics on
which there was wide divergence. as. for
instance, the declarations against a presi-
Dental third term and federal interference
In cases Of labor disturbance. Senators
Jones' Cockrell, George and Tillman with
Mr.. Owen Of Indian territory. presented
the majority report to the full committee
about $50 o'clock, and there began fresh
contest.
The committee on resolutions was not very
prompt in assembling, owing to the fact
that the subcommittee was at work until
after O'Clock this morning. Shortly after
converting the full committee heard a dele
CATION from the Woman'S Suffrage Asso-
citation, who desired to have incorporated
in the platform the following resolution:
1.-THE democratic party recognizes with
great satisfaction the worldwide move
ment for the advancement of women. We
approve every form Of social and political
progress which will bring them better pay
and larger opportunities. The influence of
women is needed, not only in the home, but
in the school and state. We invite the as
sistance and the votes of women for the
democratic candidates in the coming cam
paign.'
Arguments were made by the women in
attendance in favor of the adoption Of the
resolution.
The leading argument was made by Dr.
Julia Holmes Smith of Chicago, the only
democratic woman holding an elective state
office in the United States. Other argu-
ments were made by Mrs. Catherine
Wang McCulloch. Among others present
were Mary Kennedy Brown and Mrs DR..
Ferguson, woman alternate in the conven-
ton from Utah.
The anti-suffragists were also given
hearing. and argued against the adoption
Of any suffrage plank in the platform.
Mrs. w. Winslow Crannell made an ex-
tended argument.
William P. st. John of New York ap-
peared before the committee and made an
argument in favor Of his free coinage
plank which had been submitted to the
committee. Mr.. St. John was formerly
president of the Mercantile National Bank
Of New York, and has been for free coin
age of silver for many years. He made
an argument to show that there are many
votes In the east in favor Of free coinage,
and claimed that New York and some New

A Good Showing.
What a Reporter Learned About
8 Certain Medicine.

From the Journal, Minneapolis, Minn.
There is one proprietary medicine in
use in this city, the name of which has
become a household word and that is
the preparation known as "Pink Pilli
for Pale People" Shakespeare said.
"a rose by any other name would smell
as sweet - That may be SO. but
pills put up by any other name would
not have the same attraction nor popu.
lar sales that Pink Pills have in Spo-
kane, Wash.
A representative Of the Minneapolis
Journal started out the other day to in
vestigate the merits Of this popular and
widely sold household medicine. The
evidence was on every hand. Hamil-
ton B. Merrill, young money loaner
of Spokane, was seen by the newspaper
man. Mr.. Merrill made no secret Of
his remarkable cure by these little
pellets.
"Do know the efficacy Of Pink
Pills?" he reiterated. II should rath.

ing proprietary medicine, but / must
say that Pink Pills as far as my case
goes have no equal in the world. A

any benefit whatever. continued
daily to grow worse and my parents be-
came alarmed over my condition. Some
one suggested Pink Pills; I thought |
would try them anyway. And ! tell
you cannot endorse them too highly;
they worked like q charm in my case.
My heart soon became normal again,
my flesh increased and felt like new
man. To tell you the truth ! am still
taking them. / have sort Of fond.
ness for them yet and am loath to
give them up.

worse than mine, she took Pink Pills
and is one Of society's gayest young
ladies now. / wish were at liberty
