las and flags. Senator Stewart then told Of
Bryan's convention speech, which he said
was the greatest Grafton in history.
Under resolution adopted yesterday, the
roll of states was called to find out how
many old soldiers occupied seats as dele
gates. The poll showed 1913 Union veterans,
10 Confederate veterans and A Mexican war
veterans.
Adjourned until afternoon.
The delegates. as usual. came together
slowly for the afternoon session. Chairman
st. John raped for order and introduced
the Rev. Mr.. Hagerty, who made the OPEN
Ing prayer. At the conclusion Of the inv0-
cation G. w. Baker was called upon for n
report from the conference committee. He
said that the time was too short to reach
satisfactory conclusion. There were not
more than one hundred men in the confer
ence and only two hours In which to dis
cuss the methods to be pursued. He read
the resolutions which were adopted at the
conference. On motion Of Mr.. Turner Of
Kansas the report was accepted and
adopted by unanimous vote.
The report Of the platform committee was
then made by Senator Jones of Nevada.
As be read the. platform he was frequently
interrupted by applause. The platform
reads us follows:
The paramount issue at this time in the
United States is indisputably the money
question. 1t Is between the gold standard,
gold bonds and bank currency on; the one
side. and the bimetallic standard, no bonds
and government currency on the other.
On this issue we declare ourselves to be In
favor Of distinctly American financial
system. We are unalterably opposed to
the single gold standard and demand the
immediate return to the constitutional
standard Of gold and silver, by the
restoration of this government. independ-
emily Of any foreign power, of the unre.
stricted coinage Of both gold and silver into
standard money at the ratio of 1G to 1.
aud upon terms Of exact equality as they
existed prior to 1873, the silver coin to
be u full legal tender equally with gold for
all debts and dues, public and private, and
we favor such legislation as will prevent
for the. future the demonstration Of any
kind OF legal tender money by private con-
tract. We hold that the power to control
and regulate paper currency Is inseparable
from the power to coin money, and hence
that all currency intended to circulate 40
money should be issued and its volume cor.
trOlled by the general government only and
should be legal tender. We are unalterably
opposed to the Issue by the United States
Of Understanding bonds In time of peace
and VIC den0unce as blunder worse than
crime the present treasury policy con-
cured In by a Republican house, Of plung-
Ing the country In debt BY hundreds Of
millions In the vain attempt to maintain
the gold standard by borrowing gold. and
We demand the payment Of all coin obli.
cations Of the United States. a. provided
Ivy existing laws, In either gold or silver
coin, ut the option Of the government and
not ut the option Of the creditor.

duction whether in the mining camps

or the factories of New England. But

that union is strength, and that the

has always been, Divide and con-

After Mr.. Newlands' speech the Dec
laratiOn Of Independence was very
we'll recited by Miss Lille B. Pierce Of
st. Louis, who was dressed Us the
Goddess of Liberty.
The usual committees were then ap-
pointed.
The following committee was an
with view to solidifying the forces.

North Carolina; Judge Scott, Califor-
mia; w. III. Standish, North Dakota;
Gen. Turner, Massachusetts,; 8. f.,

nesota.
The convention then took q recess
until 4:3O in the afternoon,
The afternoon session opened at $50
O'clock. The committee ON credentials
made a report which was adopted.
The committee on permanent organi-
cation, through Gen. G. G. Bradshaw
Of Montana, chairman, reported the
following permanent officers of the
convention:
Permanent Chairman-William p.
st. John of New York.
Vice Permanent Chairman-Charles
A. Towne of Minnesota.
Secretary-R. Il. Diffenderfer of
Pennsylvania, with power to select his
OW nassOciates, one of whom will be
George p. Keeney.
Reading Clerk-W. Jefferson Pollard
of st. Louis.
Chairman William p. st. John was
introduced and made short speech.
In the course of it he said: 1.-The foun-
tain head of our prosperity has run
dry. Our farmers all over the country
have endured the depression in prices
until they get about So or 50 per acre
for an expenditure of $40 per acre, and
the like. Their credit at their country
store is exhausted. The country store
ceases to order from the city merchant,
the city merchant reduces his demand
from the manufactures, Manufactur-
ers are curtailed. The consequence is
that employees an dali elements of la
Dor are being discharged and wages
are lowered to those who continue in
employment. The sufferings of the
farmers, who constitute nearly one
half of our population, are thus forced
upon the city merchant, the manufac-
turer and all forms Of labor. These
combined elements constitute the over
whelming majority of voters. Their in
telligent conclusion will be felt when
expressed at the polls.
"The banker also is without prosper
ity unless prosperity is general through
out the United States. He must learn
to distinguish between cheap money.
and money commanding q low rate Of
