 DECLARATION OF PRINCIPLES.
 The committee on resolutions de- clared in favor Of the principles Of the Chicago convention and for a restora- ton of the free coinage of silver at ratio of 16 to in all the hints of the United States. If there were not enough hints to handle the output, build more The report found that the immortal William J. Bryan had job put upon him two years ago by man named RothSchild, in Europe, and another named Morgan, in this country But ''the tribune of the peo- pie" having had his eyeteeth cut would even matters with those schemers in 1900, A. D. The report further dis closed that the democratic party had forced the late glorious war upon cowardly and unwilling republican majority The report very properly and eloquently alluded to Arizona's part in the war and to the gallant heroism of the late Captain w.
