Question of Gold and silver.
Two problems present themselves. The
st OF these is how much to do for silver:
, second, how little to do for gold.
ound these questions range the specula-
IN and the interest of all.
Three lines of policy will he presented
the committee on resolutions upon
seting the different shades Of opinion Of
delegates. These are;
First.-To declare in explicit terms for
o gold standard
second. To take positive stand for
e free coinage of silver at the ratio Of l6
] independent Of the course Of all other
,tions
Third. To practically declare for gold
d against any further recognition to

Jon international agreement, but with
1t mentioning in terms the gold standard

The contest will be principally between

There are 449 delegates who will vote

Z the single gold standard. They will

Candidates For Vice President.
One important question remaining un-
sttled Is that of the selection Of vice
candidate. Next to the hnan
ial plank, th6flling of this place on the
ickot has engaged the greatest share Of
peculative attention during the week,
nut apparently opinion has not been so

valedictory to the Republican party. It
will be followed after the convention has
