The Indiana Money Plank.
When asked for the action of the con-
vention on the financial question, the
senator replied that he believed the In
diana plank would form the basis upon
which the financial question would be
settled.
1T is brief, and very skillfully avoids
reference by terms to any OF the mooted
questions. It is Enthusiastically sound
money statement. At the same time it
avoids all mention of the gold standard,
mention Of which by name would drive
votes away from the ticket in some OF
the states. 1t is better than the Ohio
platform, which when analyzed is just
as clearly for sound money, makes too
prominent by name the silver question.
The Indiana form Of expression will be
more acceptable in the East than will
that of the Ohio Republicans"
The senator expressed the opinion
that the Indiana platform would be sat
isfactory to all the Western states ex.
cept the five silver producing states,
Colorado, Utah, Montana, Idaho and
Nevada, and possibly Wyoming. But,
he said, that as they have all told only
10 votes in the electoral college. the
party could afford to lose them. Mr.
Thurston said in reply to question
that he had no doubt that some of the
delegates from the Eastern seaboaro
would make strong contention for 8
more pronounced and explicit declara
tion for gold, but that it would not bt
wise to concede their extreme demands
They will in the end be satisfied will
a conservative announcement, he said
and they will be glad enough to take i
in preference to the unequivocal fre'
silver declaration that the Chicago con
vention will give out.
Referring to other questions OF which
the platform will treat, the senator salt
he thought first place would be given Il
the tariff, as that is and has been
distinctive issue of the Republican
party. He thought there would be
declaration demanding in strong term
distinctively American policy but h
was Of the opinion that the A. P. A
question would not figure in the con
ventiOn.

that fact sufficient reward If their efforts
