Allen W. Thurman, of Ohio, offered
St. Johns amendment to the financial
plank, providing for she issuance OF
coin certificates in times of money
stringency in exchange for United
States bonds, and spoke in it's favor.
The argument led to an animated de-
bate. Severalo pposed the amendments
on the ground that it was not politic or
wise TO make any suggestion or poesi-
bility of the free ooinsge of silvei8sus-
ing g panic. Others, in support of
Thurman, declared that they believed
the banks would not hesitate to precip-
itste panic in case of the adoption of
free coinage in order to gain the power
which they had wrongfully wrestled
the banks were even now locking up
their money in preparation for such q
chance. The previous question was
ordered on Thurman's amendment and
it was rejected.
The Pacific railroad plank offered by
Senator White was adopted.
Jones, of Nav Msxico contending FOR
the insertion in lieu of the plank re-
ported by the sub committee of the
platform declaration OF 1892, which
takes the explicit ground in favor of the
of New Mexico, Arizona and
other Territories as they may be able t6
show their oapsbility of conducting
the affairs of state~- He declared that
If the DsmocFasic convention would
take this position it would make tie
Territories Democratic when they be-
oome states. The amendment sug-
gested was adopted. The silver men
complain that the minority report is
being unduly delayed and say it should
be before the full committee to consider
with the majority report. Later
it was stated by g member that the
report will not be presented to
the committee but to the convention.
Is may take the form OF protest. The
report on the platform as whole was
adopted by a vote of 30 to l by the
committee.
The following is synopsis Of the
platform to bs submitted by q majority
of the committee on rssolut lions;
