 The Resolutions
 The resolutions read
 I've particularly indorse the financial plank therein declared for the free and unlimited coinage of silver and gold at the ratio of l6 to l, independent of any one or all nations.
 z.'We are proud of the patriotic. conduct In peace and war of that brave leader of democracy, William J. Bryan, and we fa- for his renomination for president in 1900. v pThe platform favors an income tax, and thanks the minority in congress for seek ing to secure "a just distribution of the war taxation equally upon the wealth and corporations of the country as well as up- on it's labor
 I've recognize the eternal truth that life, liberty and the persuit of happiness is the natural and inalienable heritage of all mankind and, since the hand of despot- ism has been lifted from the island of , Cuba, dominated by Spain, we should af- ford its inhabitants an untrammeled op- portunity to establish free and indepen- dent constitutional government, deriving it's powers from the consent of the gov erned, and we remind the country that congress, in the resolutions which declared war, resolved that the United States here by disclaims any disposition or intention to exercise sovereignty, jurisdiction or con- trol over said island except for the pacifica- tion thereof and asserts its determination, when that is accomplished, to believe that until the people of the island of Cuba and the Philippines, redeemed from Spanish domination, declare otherwise, we should keep the faith upon which this war was begun and prosecuted"
 Oppose Any Alliance
 The resolutions favor the building of the Ncaraguan canal, enlarging the militia of all states and reducing the standing army, oppose alliance with England or any other foreign power, and demand that the United States senate take action upon the findings of the Ohio senate on the election of Mar GUS A. Hanna as senator.
 Those holding minority reports on cre- dentials were induced not to present them, and the majority report was adopted with out the expected row. There was also a compromise today in the organization of the. new state central committee, with William s. Thomas as chairman, and Har- ry Wilson secretary. Wilson has been the anti-Dowling candidate for chairman.
 The committee on rules presented an elaborate plan of party organization which had recently been prepared. This new plan of party organization was started at the Jackson banquet last January, but a sub stitute was presented. After a long dis cusson it was referred back for report at the next tate convention
 Congressman John J. Lentz, on taking the chair as permanent chairman, spoke at such length on national issues that the convention did not get to business till to- wards evening.
