When the Committee on Resolutions as
sembled at $50 tonight Chairman Jones
was of the opinion that the fight over the
platform would be carried into the con-
venton, as two reports would be present
ed
A large number of speeches were made,
! notably by those favoring simple reaf-
firmation of the Chicago platform. Carter
H. Harrison of Chicago, Judge Van Wyck
of New York, Representative Ball of
Texas, F. w. Gegettrick of Vermont, f.
f. Morss of Indiana. Baughman of Mary
land, Gibbons of Florida, and Backman
of Louisiana, supported the conservative
view.
Senator Jones, chairman of the COM
mittee, made an earnest appeal for the
retention of the ratio provision. He said,
that not vote would be gained by the
omission, while the retention of the pro-
vision would greatly strengthen the ticket
in the Mississippi Valley States. He also
appealed for the granting of Mr. Bryan's
| wishes in the matter, saying that his i'm
! pressions came from his close contact
with the people and were apt to be
right
| Senator Money, of Mississippi, antagon-
lied the 16 to / provision because he
said it's insertion would lose votes to the
/ ticket He thought the representatives
! in the committee from the Mississippi
Valley States and not others should be
consulted as to the political chances in
their States.
! Senator Moneys speech was somewhat
sensational. He said that while he yield
ed to no enc in his admiration of Mr.. Bry-
an, neither he nor any other man was
big enough to coerce the conscience of
the whole Democratic party.
! Senator Tillman took the floor at one
o'clock and made vigorous plea for a
specific declaration for 16 to l. He said
the party could not afford to retreat one
step on it's allegiance to silver and that
the convention should accede to the de-
mands of the Northwest in this matter.
