This suggestion was adopted and the
committee entered upon the effort to
settle the question Of ratio.
The session proved a very interesting
one. and many speeches were made. Mr..
Van Wyck lead off with a brief state
ment, saying that while in his platform
he had referred to four issues as prom
inent, namely, those Of imperialism
militarism, trusts and the finances, he
considered that only three Of these were
Of current consequence, believing that
the money question had been crowded
into the background by other subjects
which had pressed to the front during
the past four years.
Upon all questions other than that
pertaining to finances, the three plat
forms presented We're practically the
same, except that Van Wyck's draft
did not cover 30 many questions as did
the other two.
Mr.. Metcalf's copy, after re-afflrming
the Chicago platform and referring es-
pecially to the ratio In the coinage Of the
metals, denounces the trusts in drastic
language, and In the same connection
refers to the protective tariff as one of
the principal supports Of the trust sys-
tenn 1t also condemns the alleged
tendency Of the present Republican ad-
ministration toward Imperialism and the
increase Of the standing army. Sym
pathy Is expressed for the Eoers In their
struggle with Great Britain. and the
president Is condemned for his failure
to take decisive steps looking toward
the manifestation Of the sympathy OF
the American people with the people OF
the Transvaal.
In connection with the expression on
the Boer question the assertion is made
that 1t Is evident to all men that Sc
cret alliance exists between the Nc Kin
ley administration and the British gov
ernm ent and this alliance is denounced
as revolving and repulsve to all liberty
loving people.
The platform also takes positive po-
sition on the Philippine question. pro-
nouncing in favor of a policy looking to
the Pacific archipelago, with promise
OF protection to the people of that coun-
try against foreign aspersion by the gov
ernment of the United States. similar to
that which is vouchsafed by US to the
South American republics.
Planks have been suggested covering
the questions of Chinese immigration,
good roads, the irrigation of lands, free
homes and equal suffrage for women.
The demonstration made over Hill in
the convention was taken by many to
mean that the convention would be
stampeded for Hill, but Hill does not

Following is the address OF Permanent
Chairman Richardson's:
The last great national contest for
supremacy was fought mainly upon one
issue-that Is to say one issue was para
mount in the struggle. That issue was
familiarly called. "16 to L." 1t involved
the question of the free coinage of gold
and silver al ratio of 16 parts Of silver
to part of gold.
The momentous issue this year Is again
16 to l, but the 16 parts to the part Of
this campaign are wholly different from
those of 1896. I will first refer to the 16
parts and then to the 1 part. These 16
parts are:

think so, and 1t II possible ne
makes a speech on the platform ne will
make 1t plain that he could not be a
candidate on Bryan platform. He
says empha atically that he will not be
nominated.
Two other booms remain In much the
same condition Both Towne and Sui
ger are in the race, though the coiiven-
tion does not seem inclined to favor
them. The Towne men claim they have
the support of Bryan, and that If 16 to
is put in the platform their man will be
the logical candidate. A strong boom
has developed for Adlai L. Stevenson,
former vice president Of the United
States.
