GEN WARNER THINKS RATIO
WILL CUT LITTLE FIGURE

The issues win be anti-imperialism
and trusts and what we should do for
humanity, and the question of ratio will
sink into infinite inSignificance.
An excited speaker in the rear row
shouted that if General Warmers ideas
prevailed the party might as well tear
down the flag of the campaign and the
election of Mckinley would be newt
able.
General Warner said he would not
take up further time.
Mr.. Harvey leaped upon table and,
repeating former statements, he added:
IF the people do not instruct congress
before election on the question of ratio,
congress would never agree. And

New York Wants It.
H. A. Elias of Buffalo, n. Y, was
called and said New York Democracy
had come to Kansas City to demand
that Is to 1 be specifically mentioned
and nothing else would satisfy New
York.
A motion made to add General War
ner to the committee on resolutions
! brought out several objections. and
I General Warner settled the problem by
/ declining to serve.
A vote asking General Warner to ad
! dress the convention tomorrow at 10 a
m, on the currency bill, was unani
mously passed, and the convention ad
journed until that hour.
After the convention General Warne
was waylaid at the entrance by man,
who had been present and some o
them denounced him politically, and il
some instances personally. The out
side protest was as vigorous as that 0
the inside.
Ex-Governor St. John was the frs
speaker of the afternoon session, hi

Referring to the convention on tn

VAN wYCK's PLATFORM.
How New Yorker Would Handle Ma
tional Issues.


Kansas City, No, July 2.-Judge Au-
gustus Van Wyck of New York has a
draft of a platform which has been
submitted to the southern delegates,
and is said to have met with some
favor from them. The document re-
affirms the Chicago platform, and
practically confines itself TO three ques-
tions: The trusts, imperialism and the
tariff. It says:
In reaffirming the principles de-
clared in the platform adopted four
years ago, we recognize the new ques-
tions that have arisen in the mean
time, and are not TO be understood as
turning our faces from the problems
that now most urgently confront <e
country to those which, though rightly
emphasized by the Chicago convention,
have been for the present somewhat
shorn of their urgency by the course
of recent events. When the very life
of free institutions is at stake. we
think il incumbent upon all parties to
waive their lesser differences, To The
end that their united strength may be
exerted against the common enemy"
AS to trusts tn platform declares
that lin the nation, in the several
states, and IN every municipality the
Democracy, through all its organiZa-
tions. will wage unremitting war for
