Robert Bruce and how his heart had
after death been encased in Il gold cas-

he was never permitted to disclose the
connection between Bruce and the howl

vention of 1887
This interruption was fatal to Rent
fro, as he was not permitted to talk any
further and after several attempts to
continue he subsidized. He got to read
his report after awhile. however, and it
met with the same fate which had over
taken its predecessor, but Quincy declared
it adopted, all the same. The report
is as follows
To the Hon. ~ w. Quincy, chairman
of the convention. Your committee on
platform and resolutions respectfully
unanimously report:
First-We reaflirm the historic adher-
ence of the Republican party to sound
| finances. We demand an honest dollar
OF greatest purchasing power for every
class alike. The largest issue of gold
silver and paper compatible with securi-
ty and the requirements of trade, all of
equal value, interchangeable one for the

We are in favor of the maintenance of
every American right as defined by the
Monroe doctrine, and sympathize with
all people struggling for liberty, but we
oppose the unnecessary acquisition of new

We view with alarm the character of
much of the foreign immigration now
entering our country. and demand the en-
actment of more stringent laws fixing n
standard of requirements for all immi-
grants, based upon moral and physical
health and intelligence.
