PLATFORM OF THE POPULISTS
Report of the Majority Adopted
With but Few Changes.

The following is the poulist platform,
as agreed upon by the committee on res
olutions and adopted by the convention:
The peoples party, assembled in ma
tional convention, reatiirms its alleg ance
to the principles declared by the founders
of the republic, and also to the funda-
mental principles of just government as
enunciated in the platform of the party
in 1892. We recognize that through the
connivance of the present and preceding
administrations the country has reached
a crisis in its national life as predicted
in our declaration four years ago, and
that prompt and patriotic action is the
supreme duty of the hour. We realize
that while we have political independ-
ence, our financial and industrial indie
pendence is yet to be obtained, by re-
storing to our country the constitutional
control and exercise of the functions ne
cessary to peoples government. which
functions have been basely surrendered
by our public servants to corporate mon
opolies. The influence of European mon
ey changers has been more potent in
shaping legislation than the voice of the
American people. Executive power and
patronage have been used to corrupt our
legisla tors and defeat the VIII Of the peO-
pie, and plutocracy has thereby been en-
throneG upon the ruins of democracy.
To restore the government intended by
the fathers and for the welfare and pros
perity of this and future generations.
We demand the establishment of an econ
omic and financial system which shall
make us masters of our own affairs and
Independent of European control, by the
adoption of the following declaration OF
principles
''First-We demand a national money,
safe and sound, issued by the general
government only, without the interven-
ton of banks of issue, to be a full legal
tender for all debts, public and private
a just equitable and efficient means OF
distribution direct to the people, and
through the lawful disbursements Of the
| government.
"Second-We demand the free and un.
restricted coinage of silver and gold al
the present legal ratio of is to / without
waiting for the consent OF foreign ma
lions.
''Third-We demand that the volume o.
| circulating medium be increased to al

New York, July S-Mark A Hanna,
chairman of the republican national com
mittee. arrived from Chicago today. He
said he could not give any outline at pres
ent as to his movements while here. He
was asked If he hau come east to consult
with the advisory committee.
There is no advisory committee" he
replied Il am going to advise with eV

there are probably good many of them.
| expect Quay here tonight, and Hobart
will come over tomorrow. In the after
noon tomorrow we have a meeting of the
eastern members of the committee and
we hope soon to have things moving.
During the afternoon and evening
Hanna had many callers. Among them
was Fred S. GIBBS, the national commit
teeman for this state. He accepted tn"
invitation to attend the conference of the
executive committee tomorrow afternoon.
Hanna was asked whether GIBBS came
from Plat.
He said: 81 presume that GIBBS
in one way represents Plat. No
l did not see Mr. Plat today and l have
not invited him to the meeting of the
&C mmittee tomorrow and do not expect
that he will come up. But why draw

flame. 1 recognize no faction and believe
that all good republicans are working
for the good of their party. The meet
ing Is for the purpose of planning the
campaign in this election"
When Mr.. Hanna read of the action
of the democratic state committee in
maintaining silence over the Chicago
ticket he said: 'Well, if they keep this
thing up we went have much opposition.
The action today means that there will
be nothing done in New York state for
Mr. Bryan until after September IA at
the very earliest We will therefore
have practically six weeks advantage of
them in active work"
During the evening delegation from
the tariff reform league called on Hanna
and asked him to make tariff the issue
instead of the money question. Mr..
Hanna said he could not decide that
question, but that the delegation could
send letter to the meeting tomorrow
and the question would be answered.
