Thomas ]. Atkins, of Humansville, was
reelected chairman of the state central
committee. The nominations for Governor
and lieutenant governor were by acclama-
ton, and there were but slight contests
for the other state offices. The big fight
of the convention was expected to come
over the selection of delegates at large. for
which there had originally been seven
avowed candidates. However. but five
names were presented. those of Houser and
Dyer, of st. Louis; MINIS, of Carrolton;
Burton. of Nevada. and Nathan Frank, of
st. Louis Major John l.. Bittinger, consul
to Montreal, and Major William Warner,
United States district attorney, Of Kansas
City, were sacrificed to a sentiment that
federal officers should not attend the ma
uonal convention. Nathan Frank, who
was the only man for whom National Com
mitteeman Richard G. Kerens took a firm
stand, was deserted at the last moment in
order to make place for Dyer. The con-
vention voted to name negroes for alter
mates at large, and the quartet was Sc
lected by reclamation.
The resolutions rejoice in the fact that
the platform of 1896 has been indicated,
and lin the achievements in peace and
glorious victories in war, and indorse the
progressive administration of William
Mckinley for the blessings that 1t has
bestowed upon the American people in es-
tablishing the highest prosperity the coun-
try has ever known
The resolutions favor the maintenance
of the gold standard and continues: I'VE
favor the extension of self-government to
all the people that have lately come under
the protection of this country as rapidly
as they demonstrate their ability to exer-
else 1t. We hold our authority over them
to be a solemn trust to be exercised with
an eye single to their instruction, develop
ment and prosperity.
I'VE are unalterably opposed to all trusts
and combinations in restraint of trade or
having Tor their purpose in the remotest
degree sitting of competition, and we de-
mand such legislation. both national and
state, as will effectively protect the public
from these evils. And II such legislation
cannot be had under present constitutional
powers we demand such amendments to the
Constitution of the United States as will
suppress such combinations
I'VE favor the immediate enactment of
such legislation by Congress as shall make
the seas give evidence that American built,
American owned and American manned
ships are carrying our foreign commerce
I'VE condemn the twelve Democratic
congressman from Missouri who failed to
support the bill providing for the building
of the Nicaraguan canal. and we heartily
indorse the course of our Republican MEN,
bers in supporting said measure, whereby
great foreign trade opportunities will be
opened to the agricultural classes of the
Mississippi valley"
