BRYAN DICTATES PLATFORM.
Nebraska FusiOnists Declare for Ere
silver. Ratio 16 to 1.


silver. Ratio 16 to L.
Nebraska democrats, populists and silver
republicans met in Omaha yesterday and
fused on nominations for judge of the SUI
preme court and two members of the board
of regents of the State University. Former
Governor SilaS "A Holcomb was nominal ed
for supreme justice by the populsts and in
dorsed by the other two conventions,
though not without a fight in the demo-
cratic gathering, where there was strong
opposIlon to him emanating from Douglas
county. This opposition centered on former
United States Senator William A. Allen,
who could have had a majority of the ball
lots in the convention. but he pushed the
nroffered honor aside and supported his
friend Holcomb. Allen was chairman of
the resolutions committee in the populist
convention and William ]. Bryan was d
delegate to the democratic gathering
Bryan dictated the platform of the demo-
cratic convention. This document declared
uncompromisingly for free coinage of silver
at the ratio of ii to l, and Endorsed bodily
the Chicago platform of 1896. The platform
of the populiSt convention Endorsed the
platform of the populist national conven-
ton of 1896, and in addition contained
planks denouncing the policy of the admin
stration in the Philippines. The platform
of the silver republicans was much the
same, and contained. in addition, a strong
plank declaring against the use Of railroad
passes by public officials.
I he platform adopted by the democratic
convention indorses and emphasizes each
and every plank of the national platform
adopted at Chicago in 1896. The money
plank is as follows:
Our confidence in the principles set forth
in the Chicago platform has been increased
as those principles have been vindicat ted by
events. The gold standard is less defensble
now than it was in 1896. since the President
has confessed it's failure by sending a COM
mission to Europe to secure international
bimetallism while the inability of the COM
mission to secure foreign aid is added proof
that the people of the United States must
act alone if they expect relief.
1.-The present legal ratio of 16 to l is the
natural and necessary ratio, and the oppo-
nents of that ratio have nothing to offer in
its place but the evasive and ambiguous
phraseology which for years furnished to
the gold standar.. advocates mask behind
which to hide while they secretly labored
to make gold no-metallism permanent
The platform goes on to denounce the
trusts and the war in the Philippines.

Ex-JOurnal Clerk Smith Refers to
Some British ParIiamentary Custnms

Mr.. Thomas P. Cleaves, clerk of the Sen

III. H. Smith, former journal clerk of the
House of Representatives, have returned
to the city after a two months trip to
Europe. While in London they had eX-

There are many things" said Mr.. Smith,
referring to his London visit, which our
House of Representatives could copy with
advantage from the rules aud practice OF
the house of commons, notably in giving
preference to government administration
measures; by creating the office of deputy

TrGublae Over characterization of the
Peso in Porto Rico.


Peso in Porto Rico.
Charles T. Landreau an American citizen
who is postmaster at Mayaguez, Porto
Rico, had talk with Secretary Gage yester-
day regarding the financial conditions in
the island. Mr.. Landreau complains that
business conditions are considerably unset
tied because the Porto Ricans will not rec
ogniZe the value fixed upon the peso by this
government. This value, after long study
by Secretary Gage, was fixed at Gu cents,
The peso having f1uctuated for years 'be
tween 45 and 10 cents. The number of the
coins is limited and this makes the de-
ra"d great. enabling financiers TO secure
them and hold them at higher figures In
stead of recognizing the arbitrary value,
the Porto Ricans accept the coin at its
commercial value. This, ewing to the
scarcity has lately been from 81 to 81
cents io'Is
Secretary Gage thinks that the only way
I" put stop to this is by coming more
pesos and making them too plentiful to be
Juggled in. Congress. however, will have
to authorize the coinage
