ted for Mckinley and prosperity. This was received with great applause, whic grew into 8 wild outburst when Indianapolis which read: "The Indiana convention has just instructed for Me- Kinley for president"
 The committee on resolutions report ed as follows:
 The republicans of Michigan, in con- vention assembled at this convention renew their faith in the principles of the republican party which have brought uneXampled prosperity to the nation in the past and will restore pros- perity in the future. We therefore submit the following resolutions:
 We believe in tariff duty on foreign importations producing sufficient rev enue for the support of the government and so adjusted as to give protection to American industries and American labor now depressed to an unparalleled degree by the threatened and partially accomplished free trade, and to that end we ask the immediate repeal of the present unwise and unAmerican tariff and the re-enactment of the tariff bill along the general lines of the last re- publican tariff act, known as the Me Kinley bill, which, with whatever mod itications the present condition of our industries may require.
 We believe that this is the only way in which the clouds of business de- and sound business prosperity be re- stored.
 We believe in the principle of recip- rocity as instituted and fostered by Americas beloved statesman, James C. Blaine, and therefore demand its resto- ration as a wise and necessary supple ment to a protective tariff.
 We have always given protection to our ship builders. In late years we have neglected to protect our ship own CTS We believe the time has come to return to the policy of Washington and Hamilton, which, by discriminating du- ties in favor of American bottoms, se- cure 90 per cent. of our carrying trade to our own shipping. We are united in favor of the nomination of William Mckinley of Ohio, by the republican party for the presidency, and hereby instruct the delegates selected at this convention to use all honorable means to secure his nomination so long as his name is before the national convention We are unyielding and uncompromis- ing in our demand for sound money We are in favor of the use of gold, sill yer and paper dollars in our currency all maintained at parity as to pur- nboc IaI
 We are opposed to any proposition that involves the depreciation of any portion of our currency and therefore are opposed to the free and unlimited coinage of silver by this country alone, under present conditions, believing that such coinage would destroy the parity and depreciate and contract the cur rency.
 The resolutions also expressed sym pathy with the people of Cuba in their struggle for liberty.
 The line in the financial plank de- claring against the free and unlimited coinage of silver was received with ap- plause, as was also the Cuban resolu- tion. The resolution instructing for Mckinley raised whirlwind of enthu- siasn.
 S. W. Hopkins, on behalf of the mi nority of the resolutions committee, said that the convention of 1892 had stood by bimetallism and declared that the financial plank in the majority re- port, just presented, put the party back to Clevelandism and bondism. He said this country must not bow to the pow CTS across the ocean. Referring to that part of MT. Depews address stating that if the republican party did not de- clare for gold certain states would be found in the doubtful column,' the speaker said Shall we bow to threats like that ?"
 There were cries of "no, no, from all over the hall. MT. Hopkins said Ii the delgates would stand by the rights of the people the republican party need not fear the loss of these states. lie offered substitute for the financial plank in the majority report The substitute demanded a purely Amer1- can system of money based upon gold and silver with adding to either at the mints demanded that all paper money issued by the government should be re- uGclll1Dlc III SOlu Ol SilNCi GU tiiS cp ton of the government, opposed the re- tiring of the greenbacks, opposed the issuance of interest bearing bonds in times of peace and condemned the policy of President Cleveland and Sec retary Carlisle in contracting the sale of government bonds, thereby taxing the people to benefit a syndicate of ten millions.
 A hot debate followed, which lasted for an hour. Finally Delegate Crissy of Midland moved that the financial plank of the Minneapolis platform of 1892 be substituted for both the ma jority and minority reports on the sub- ject. MT. Crissy's substitute was adopted and then the resolution as amended went through with a rush and the silver men raised a mighty cheer over their victory. A telegram was sent to the convention at Indianapolis, notifying that body that Michigan had also endorsed Mckinley and the con vention adjourned.
