Resolved, That our people, irrespective
of party affiliations, favor the free coinage
of silver and believe that our mints could
be safely opened to free coinage under an
administrator in which the people of the
country had confidence. We regret that
the national convention at st. Louis did
not view this question as we view II. We
accept, however, the assurance of the par

securing of an international agreement for
tie unlimited coinage of silver sacred
pledge We believe that the pledge will be
fulfilled, and we are firmly of the faith
that the reconciliation OF silver, so essen
tial to the welfare of this and other civil
lied countries will be accomplished through
the efforts and under the direction OF the
pupl1cIm tb1oupb no dtber Txcent mon the silver
question, we heartily and cordially indorse
the platform of the party at St Louis,
and we declare our undiminished and un-
wavering belief in 1.-The great doctrines of
the protection of American labor and
American industries; also in reciprocity as
cnunciated in the national platform.
Continuing the resolution reads:
''We favor free silver, but we value free
government more, and while the success
of the party upon the Chicago platform
might bring silver recommendation II would
afford no hope of bimetallism in this coun-
try"

licans and the friends of silver are thoEe

by side and also want with it perpetuity
of free institutions" He said 95 per cent.
