The following resolutions were adopt
ed.
Resolved, That We are proud OF the
great campaign made by the Honorable
William j. Bryan, and heartily endorse
him in every way. We denounce the
efforts of the Republican administration
through its Senators and representatives
to fasten the clutches of the Money
Power on this would be free country
by issuing TO capitalists hundreds Of
millions Of interest bearing bonds, so
they can live on the interest without
labor. Instead of bonds bearing inter-
est we favor the coming of the senior
age, and all silver bullion now in the
United States treasury, and the issue of
treasury notes payable in coin, mean
ing either silver or gold, at the option
Of the government.
We believe in this governments right
and duty to say what shall be its own
legal tender money of final redemption
aud that this governments promise to
pay is just as good on a treasury note
not bearing any interest as it is on a
bond paying interest TO the money
power.
We believe IN an American system
Of finances constructed solely with re.
ference to the best interests Of this
country, and not for the greater benefit
of any other nation.
The following resolution Of instruc-
tons was also adopted
Resolved, That the delegates of
Custer county to the state convention
at Aberdeen, are instructed to use all
honorable means in their power to
bring about a coalition of the bimetalic
forces in the coming campaign.
