The Platform.
The committee OF platform finally made
its appearance an, the document was
read twice, from the stage and in the
rear of the hall, so that all the delegates
could hear and understand it. The report
was signed by eight of the eleven mem
bers of the committee, and, apart from the
plank indorsing Gov. Scofeld's admins
tration, is all the most radical La Toilette
men could ask. 1t is straight Republican
on the war and kindred questions. 1t de-
clares for legislation to establish the gold
standard. There is strong anti-corpora-
tion plank. The anti-pass plank looms up
biggest of all. 1t forbids the granting of
railroad passes. express or telegraph
franks, or similar favors to public officials,
and makes the offenders, either giyer or
receiver, guilty of felony. The 'docile
book" transactions. or advancing of pub
lie funds to State officials, are denounced.
lastly there is demand that the lobby
at Madison when the Legislature meets,
be suppressed by law. The full text of
the resolutions follows:
The Repn licans of Wisconsin In convcn-
tion assembled. congratulate the nation up
on it's magnificent achievements under the
wise and patriotic policies of the Republi-
can party. !Cs most signal trumphs, both
in peace and in war, since the organization
of that party have been won under its rule
We heartily approve and ndnrse the ad
mnlstraton of President Mckinley His
efforts to avert hostllities with Spain and
gain the desired end through peaceful
means earned for him the approval of all
good men and were wise and right. When
war became inevitable his quiet resolute
vigorous action demonstrated his thorough
comprehension of the nations needs and
wishes. and when the power Of the eneray
had been crushed and terms of peace ~e.e
asked, his magnanimity and sense of JUS
tice stood forth typifying the noblest traits
of our American character and command
ing the respect and approval of the civilized
world.
We welcome the return of peace and ex-
press our gratitude and thanks to the brave
men of the army and navy who have main
tained the honor of our flag, and again
proved to the world the quality OF American
patriotism. We extend a joyous welcome
