COMMITTEE ACTION TAKEN
White of California Selected as Perma.
nent Chairman
tt;Irs Name Is Presented and RecsIves Six
votes-AiI Other Officers Elected
BY Accismatio

CHICAGO, July THE committee on
permanent organization met immediate
ly after the adjournment of the conven-
tion. Gen. E. B. Dingley of Ohio was
made chairman and J. II. Brown OF
Georgia secretary.
A recess was taken and the silver men
retired and held caucus at which
the permanent organization was fully
agreed upon. The committee then ad-
journed until o'clock, when 1t recon-
vened at the Sherman house. In the
evening the silver slate went through as
follows:
Permanent chairman. stephen NJ.
White of California.
Missouri.
Secretary, Thomas Cogan Of Cincin-
natl.
Assistant secretary. Louis D. Her.
sheimer of Chicago.
Assistant reading clerks, N. X. Wall
ker Of Florida. Charles Nickel OF Ore
gon. Jefferson Pollard of Missouri and
Lincoln Dixon of Indiana.
The name of Senator Hill of New York
was presented by the gold men for per-
manent chairman. and he received six
votes to SO for White. The remainder
of the organization as presented by the
silver people went through by acclama-
tion, the gold men making no nomina-
tion. Judge Prentiss of Illinois was the
chairman of the silver caucus. X. f..
Jordan was named as chairman of the
committee to notify Senator White.

changes in our tariff laws. except such
as are necessary to make up the deficit
in revenue caused by the adverse decis-
ion of the supreme court on the income
tax.
AN INCOME TAX
There would have been no deficiency
in federal revenue during the last two
years but for the annulment by the su-
preme court of the income tax law.
placed uponthe statute books by DEM
ocratic congress. The obstruction to an
income tax which the supreme court dis
covered in the constitution after 1t had
laid hidden for a hundred years must
be removed, to the end that accumulated
wealth must be made to bear Its just
share of the burdens of the government.
We therefore favor an amendemnt to the
federal constitution that will permit the
levy of an income tax.
NEEDS OF LABOR
We hold that the efficient way of pro-
tecting American labor is to prevent the
importation of foreign pauper labor to
compete with it in the home market,
and that the value of the home market
to our American farmers and artisans
is greatly reduced by vicious none
tary system, which depresses the prices
of their products below the cost of pro-
duction, and thus deprives them of the
means of satisfying their needs. We
Nenounce the profligate waste of the
money wrung from the people by op-
pressive taxation, and the lavish appro-
priations of recent Republicans con-
crosses, which have kept taxes high,
while the laborer that pays them is un-
employed and the products of the people
are depressed in price until they no lon
ger pay the cost of production. We de-
mand return to that simplicity and
economy which BELTS a Democratic gov
ernment and a reduction in the number
of useless offices, the salaries of which
drain the substance of the people.
Conflding in the justice of our cause
and the necessity of its success at the
polls, we submit the foregoing oASlara-
tion of principles and purposes to the
considerate judgment of the American
people. We invite the support OF all
citizens who approve them and who de-
,sire to have them made effective through
legislation for the relief of the people
and the restoration of the country's
prosperity.

ON RESOLUTIONS
The Hopeless Gsld Men VIII Wage Hope
less War

The committee on resolutions met to-
night at the Palmer house. Senator
White of California was elected chair
man of the committee. Before he could
take the chair committee from the
committee on permanent organization
called upon him and notified him of his
selection for permanent chairman, and
returning to the room of the committee
on resolutions, he stated that it would
be impossible for him as permanent
chairman, If the convention should rat
ify the choice of the committee on per-
manent organization, to serve as chair
man of the resolutions committee. Sen
ator James K. Jones of Arkansas was
then chosen chairman of the committee
on resolutions. A. j. Jones of Illinois
was elected secretary.
c. s. Thomas of Colorado made mo-
ton that the committee appoint sub
committee of which Chairman Jones
should be chairman. the committee to
consist of nine, to report a platform to
the full committee tomorrow morning at
o'clock Mr. McDermott of New Jersey
offered substitute that the sub COM
mittee should consider everything on
the platform except the financial ques-
ton. upon which 1t should be instruct
ed to take no action. This motion was
supported by McDermott in very Wig
prous gold speech. in which he declared
that the silver men were carrying the
power they possessed in the convention
to an extent which would destroy the
Democracy. He said that he could not
support a platform for the free and un-
limited coinage of silver. and intimated
in rather plain terms that the New Jer-
sey delegation would bolt or that tho
New Jersey Democracy would not sup
port silver candidate or platform.
Mr.. McDermott talked at great length
and his language reused Senator White
of California to deliver ringing speech,
denouncing the gold men for their op-
position to the majority of the party.
He said that the speech of McDermott
was like all other gold speeches, con-
ssting entirely of the platitudes or self
ish and sordid wealth. He said the gem
tleman from New Jersey talked of re-
pudiating the action of the majority
which proposed to restore the money OF
the constitution and make gold and sill
yer equal.
Let the traitors secede, If they want
to-" said Senator White. 1.-THE majority
of the party is here with fixed purpose
and determined to carry it out"
Mr.. Harrison of Connecticut followed
Senator White in speech counseling
moderation by the silver men and de-
claring IL the plan of Mr.. Thomas and
other silver men was to be carried out
no single eastern state could be carried
for the ticket.
The motion for a subcommittee to
report the platform to the full commit
tee at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning was
nut and carried. The following were ap-
pointed as sub committee: Senator j.
! K. Jones of Arkansas, chairman; Sena'
The herald., 1896-07-08

tor Cochrell Of Missouri. J, 4 0eonno
of Mississippi. N. e. Worthington Of Il
linois. Senator Tillman Of South Caro-
lima, Mr.. Owen of Indian Territory, Sena-
tor David B. Hill of New York. Senator
w. F. Villas and Senator Gray.
The committee then adjourned. A
plan was offered by Senator White rel
ative to the Pacific railroads which is
likely to be incorporated in the plat
form. 1t declares that all debts of the
government whether owed by rich or
poor, should be paid in full.
Senator Villas subsequently refused to
serve on the subcommittee. and John
E. Russell of Massachusetts was ap-
pointed in his place.
The early adjournment of the full COM
mittee was reached only through a re-
sort to strong measures by the silver
forces. Ex-senator John r. R.Reagan of
Texas was responsible for the result,
which he brought about by moving the
previous question on the motion to ap-
point subcommittee. This motion had
the effect of cutting off debate and moth
ing was left to them but to demand a
roll call, which they did. The roll call
resulted SO to IA for the motion. The sub
committee was Immediately appointed,
whereupon the full committee adjourned
until o. clock tomorrow, leaving the sub
committee with the prospect of an all
night session before 1t. The committee
has a mass of matter before 1t, and
while the platform has been practically
agreed upon in all its essential details
inr xol1
the subcommittee indicate a decided
determination to fight every step taken,
and in the end to file a minority report
antagonizing the position of the major
ity, especially on the financial question.
Hon. Arthur Sewall of Maine is maxi
ing an effort to secure the adoption Of
the following shipping plank:
I'VE favor a return to the Jefferson
ian policy of differential duties for the
restoration of our merchant marine in
the foreign carrying trade"
The committee has also been impor-
tuned by delegation of ladies from the
National Equal Suffrage association to
insert a plank favorable to equal suf-
frage for women.
ORDER OF BUSINESS
CHICAGO, July AT the meeting Of
the committee on rules Senator-elec
Money of Mississippi moved that the
rules of the last convention and the
Fifty-third congress. under which the
the convention worked today, be con-
tinued until further orders. Mr.. Scott
of New York moved as a substitute that
the same rules be made permanent. This
would include the two-thirds and unit
rules The silver men voted down the
substitute by % to 16 and adopted Sen.
ator Moneys motion. This leaves the
rules in such position that the conven-
ton can report change at any time it
is deemed necessary for the purpose Of
the majority. A subcommittee ap-
pointed for the purpose reported the or
der of business for the convention &c
follows:

house of representatives govern the de
liberations of the convention. The roll
of the states was then called under the
customary practice, and the selections
for membership of the various commit
tees were announced.
The delegates and spectators began
leaving rapidly at this juncture, as 1t was
we'll understood that the convention
would adjourn Immediately. Gen. Fin

against the selection of committee MEM
bers by contested delegations, but Chair
man Daniel ruled that until the perma-
nent organization was effected the tenn
porary roll would be respected.
At 4:43 p. M, on Senator Jones mo-
ton, the convention adjourned until 10
o'clock tomorrow morning.
