Morton as Their Man.
MINNEAPOLIS, March 25-There Is one
less candidate for the st. Louis conven-
ton to consider, and the favorite son SO
far as Minnesota Is concerned has re-
signed his birthright. The most interest
ing event Of the state Republican conven-
ton that met here yesterday was the
reading of the following addressed to
friends here, dated Washington, March
VA, and signed "Cushman X. Davis"
Il am bound to, always did, and do
now. most Loyalty respect the wishes OF
the people of Minnesota. For that reason
request that my name be not considered

enduring and heartfelt thanks.
Advice ms to the Platform.
Minnesota Republicans should, in my
opinion declare against the United States
undertaking the unlimited coinage of sill
vtE ~ bnt I0bio VI ~ w ohOuia oicO oO-
clare for protective tariff that will en-
courage, secure and perpetuate domestic
production Of everything agricultural,
mining or manufactured that we can pro-
duce or make; that will also
pledge the Republican party to protect
American industry and manhood against
the competition now threading them from
the Orient, particularly Japan. 1t
should also assert the policy of tho United
States as declared by James Monroe and
by every one of our statesmen since; de-
clare that the people of Cuba ought to be
recognized as belligerents; declare for
coast defences and such other naval and
military preparations as will surely make
us able TO secure peace by our manifest
invincibility in war"
Endorsement for Mckinley.
One important result of the Davis with
dl laval was the harmonizing of the
Hennepin delegation in favor of national
committeeman. Another more important
result was the uniflcation of the state for
Mckinley, for resolution declaring for
the Ohio man and instructing the dele
gates to vote for him was adopted with a
whoop The four delegates-at-large are:
p. G. Evans, Minneapolis; George Thomp-
son, st. Paul; @. +. Hendryx, Sank Gen.
ter; L.. p. Hunt, Mankato. They were
elected by reclamation amid wild cheers,
the delegates all rising, some mounting
chairs and waving their hats. Each of the
gentlemen honored made speeches pledg-
ing themselves to Mckinley, although
three of them had been Davis men. The
alternates selected were: Ira @. Richard
son, Captain A. H. Reed, Burger Thurs
tenson and James Diment.
Silver Plank in the Platform.
The platform follows closely the lines
suggested by Senator Davis as to protec-
ton and foreign policy and has this to
say about silver: I'VE favor the use of
both gold and silver to the extent to which
they can be maintained in circulation at a
parity in purchasing and debt-paying
power; that we are earnestly opposed, I'M
der the present conditions, to the free and
unlimited coinage Of silver, for the mani
fest reason that it would destroy such
parity enormously contract the volume
of our currency by forcing gold out Of cir
culation, and Immediately place us on a
silver basis" The plank closes with a
clause favoring an international rehabili-
tation Of silver.
