all public questions.

prove the records of the Hon. F. M.
Cockrell and of Hon. G. G. Vest, the
er-faithfui servants of Missouri in
the National Senate. Also we COM
mend the untiring zeal and devotion
of that honest, faithful, free silver
Democrat of Missouri, in Congress
land out of Congress, the Hon. r. P.
Bland.
Sixth. 1t is the sense of this con-
vention that for President we favor "a
Missouri man,upon trans Mississippi
PLATFORM but IN the event Missouri
shall have no candidate for the presi-
dency we favcr the nomination of that
able statesman and faithful friend of
the people, Horace Boies, of Iowa.
Seventh. That no delegate elected
by this convention to the State con-
vention, at Sedaiia, shall give his prox-
ey to any person, but that those elect
