paramount and supreme Importance,
declaring that while other issues are
vital, the question of Imperialism

A change was also decided upon in
the declaration regarding the Chicago
platform and the coinage of silver.
This declaration is placed well down in
the body of the platform and the lam
.guage is changed considerably The
Introductory phrase of this declaration
as originally presented was changed
by striking out the words, I'VE re-
affirm the Chicago platform in whole
and in part. and in letter and in
spirit" and it is made to read as fol-
lows: I'VE reaffirm and endorse the
principles of the platform adopted by
the Democracy in convention assem-
;bIed in 1896" This is followed by a
positive declaratino for free coinage of
precious metals and this in turn by a
strong denunciation OF the gold stand
ard legislation of the last congress.
The committee on resolutions com
,pIeted the work of the platform at
1:10 D. m. and adjourned sine die. The
vote. on the adoption of their repirt
was unanimous.
