having that matter In charge, has several
planks TO present. and these will receive
careful attention. Senator Jones, when
seen after the conference. said:
The Democratic party will, I'm my opin-
ion. stand on all national issues in 1850
precisely where II stood In 1895
None Of The issues for which Il held out
az that time Will he abandoned in 1900
Since that time some other great oreg-
lions have arisen and are demanding at
tenticn from the people of the United
States The questions Of Imperialism and
of the control OF trusts by che Federal
government are the chief OF these, and
am OF the opinion that they will play
paramount part IN the campaign OF 1900
Which Of these questions will ne chief de-
Ponds on the people. Both are material
and both will be put 10 the front by the
Democratic party in 800. BimetallIsm Ia
as imperative al issue now as then. and II
Will not be abandoned by the party
