 when it was ready to report, so further adjournment was taken until ' O clock. l The financial plank of the platform which was objected to by the Tempe delegation, and which Hodnntt of
 Tempe wanted to fhave the minority
 report added to, reads as follows:
 Whereas, The Republican party has at all times declared in favor of the
 protection of American industries and
 American labor, and
 Whereas. Silver mining is one of
 the greatest industries of Arizona, we
 therefore favor the free and unlimited
 coinage of gold and silver at the pres
 ent legal ratio of 16 to 1, under such !! safeguards of legislation as will in
 sure the parity of the two metals at that ratio and guarantee the equal
 value of every dollar of our monetary system"
