WORKING ON A PLATFORM.

Tho Resolutions Committee of the Gold
Democrats Examine Many Drafts.
IYDIANAPoLIs, Ind, sept 3.-Thc
committee on resolutions OF the gold
democrats was in session for nearly an
hour and half yesterday and in that
time II was developed that there Is q
wide disagreement between the menu
beers of the committee rs to the form
the declaration of principles should
take. The matter was discussed ut
great length and from rs to 80 drafts OF
platforms were su limited. The senli.
ment and majority for a declaration for
the single gold standard was rather
surprising to those who hoped that
something might be done favoring
bimetall;sm under an international
agreement. There was considera bic
opposition to a pension plank which
was proposed, and which stated that
the expense Of the government was
largely increased by q pension moro
than liberal. No opposition to the re-
tirement of the greenbncks has devel-
oped, and It is generally believed that
a declaration OF that kind will be in
corporated in the line suggested by q
resolution which has received the ap-
proval in many particulars OF the treas
ury department tits understood, how
ever, that the financial plank has been
drawn by Secretary Carlisle and Is be-
fore the committee on resolutions. 1t
declares distinctly for O single gold
standard and makes no apology what
ever for the bond issues.
There is no question about the adop-
ton OF plank indors!ng the admins
tratiou and the heartiness OF the
language will lie limited only by de-
sire for good taste in the expression Of
approval. There has been some sug-
gestion that q resolution condemning
the Chicago convention, both rs to
nominees and platform, should be
Incorporated in the platform OF
this convention, but there are
Others who think that II Gun be ex-
pressed In q denunciatory resolution
of auarchism and an attempt in GER
tain sections to oppose the law and its
enforcement. In the draft Of the plat
form sent to indianapolis by Abram S.
Hewitt there is q plank on the subject
which Is considered by those who have
seen It to cover the subject adequately
and It Is proba BILE that 1t will be incor-
porated In the platform. TWAS finally
determined to refer the matter to o
subcommittee OF ten.
