CONVENTION TURBULENT.
The convention was very turbulent
| throughout. and the business was trans
acted with difficulty, but the results are
satisfactory to the radical silver element
which was in control. 1t is not probable
however, that the sound-money element
will make an attempt to maintain a
separate organization this year.
The platform, after endorsing the Chi
cago platform, "in whole and in detail, 81
| expresses admiration for and loyalty to
w j. Bryan, and favors him for the
nomination in 1860. The platform con
| tinues:
CUBA AND THE FILIPlNOS.
1--WE rejoice in the exalted sentiment
| and motive that prompted the govern
! ment of the United States to take uT
arms in defence Of the bitterly oppressed
people of Cuba. but for the same reason
that we glory in the successful wal
against spain we deprecate and condemn
the war against the Fiipinos.
we condemn the war against the Fill
pinos believing it to have been inspired
by Great Britain for the purpose OF pro-
! ducing conditions that will force an
! Anglo-Amerlcan alliance, and we not
only protest against the war and demand
! it's termination, by extension TO the Fill
pinos of the same assurances as those
! given TO the Cubans. but we record our
! deep-seated antagOnism to an alliance
with Great Britain or any European
| Power.
THE TRUSTS
1--WE view with alarm the multiplied
! ton of those combinations Of capital
commonly known as trusts, that are
! concentrating and monopolizing Indus
try. crushing out Independent producers
| Of limited means. and creating an In
dustrial condition different from state
| socialism only i'm the respect that under
socialism the benefits of production would
20 10 all. while under the trust sys-
tenn they go to increase private fortunes
| We demand that they be suppressed by
repeal Of the protective tariff and other
privilege-cOnferring legislation response
bic for them. and by the enactment OF
such legislation. State and national, as
| will aid I'm their destruction"
! GOVERNMENT LABOR BY CONTRACT
The platform concludes with denun-
Citations Of letting government labor by
contract, urges a careful study Of the
existing liquor laws. and condemns the
administration of Leslie NJ Shaw, anc
the Republican party in Iowa.
The Populist party resolutions are SINH
