Bryan and Chicago Platform.
The first speaker was P. W. Harden of
Mercer county. He was greeted with
rounds of applause. The speaker gave IL
as his opinion that bmetallism is the true
issue confronting the democracy of the
United States, and the one upon which
with W. J. Bryan at the head, the party
will march to triumphant victory in 1900
The Democratic party in the selection or
presidential candidate for the campaign
of 1850 need look no further than w. j.
Bryan and the Chicago platform. The trust
issue he thought was Of secondary i'm
porauce to the question of bimetalism.
Hon. W. ]. Stone made a brief speech
invoking the adherence of all good Demo-
Gratis 70 the principles enunciated in 1895

New Questions Ahead.
President Tarvin introduced Hon. E. B.
Finley Of Ohio, who spoke in part as fol-
lows:
In addition to the vital issues present
ed by the Chicago platform, we will have
the new question of the so-called territor-
ial expansion, which being an untried ex-
4-''''N'it anu q QSlJoA tuiS AAOIn AltS <AiiicA-
lean system is perhaps the most impor-
tanl question that The American people
nave had to meet.
"In forming our line of battle of 1900 l
am opposed to taking any backward steps
am for the Chicago platform in its en-
ue} without the change of a single line
or word
1--WE cannot enter into an alliance with
this coterie of so-calied Democrats with
Otf abandoning no mr. xrNt oh We
defended in 1896. There IS nothing in COM
mon between US. Our interests are antag-
o~s4c. They would control The govern
mehl by the enforcement Of policy bene-
hitting The few. We seek a governmental
lehcy for the benefit Of the masses"
Conduct Un-American.
The conduct of the administration
touching the Philippine question has been
un-Americaa from first to last in violation
ol principles expressed in the declara ton
oi war with Spain, and our treatment OF
fuI
violation of the principles of free gov
[IHment in the Philippines may be but the
-oIs'unnor of a violation of the same prin-
OI''s Of The United States, and we should
lever entrust to any President the power
90 pfive our people of self-government
upon any preteXt whatever"
