The convention adjourned with three
cheers for Teller after adopting the fol-
lowing platform:
THAT the paramount Issue at this
time in the United States Is indisputa-
bly the money question. 1t Is between
the gold standard gold banks and bank
currency on the one side, and the bime-
tcillc standard. no bonds and govern
ment currency on the other. That, on
this issue we declare ourselves to be In
favor of a distinctly American fnan-
cial system. We are unalterably op-
posed TO the single gold standard and
demand the immediate return to the
constitutional standard of gold and sill
yer by the restoration by the govern
ment. independently of any foreign
mower. of the unrestricted coinage of
both 9oid and silver into standard
money nj the ratio of 16 10 1. and upon
terms of exact eouallty. as they ex-
isted prior 10 1s7s: the silver coin to
he a full legal tender equally with gold
for ali debts AMI dues. private and
pub,Ic.
"That. TO our senior senator and fei-
low citizen. the honorable Henry NJ
Teller we accord Ali honor and admira-
t,on Tor his nersonaI worth and high
character and sneak Of him as thou
sands of us have known him TO be from
his early vigorous manhood To the pres

masses Of the people. Especially do we
honor him and his associate delegates
for their heroic action in following
their convictions in Abandoning the
