ultimate analysis, and while Thoma.
M. Carter of New Jersey insisted Oh
the right to take the Injunction ques
ton to the convention floor. the pre-
diction was made in authoritative
quarters that no murmur of the pre-
Eminary fight would be heard in thai
gathering.
Beginning with the adjournment or
Tuesday, the work of the resolutions
committee was practically continuous
until 4:20 this morning, when the fin
ished platform was produced. Not un
til ten o'clock last night did the
scales begin to tip in favor of the
administration forces; but after the
dissolution of the opposition began
it was rapid and complete, leaving
nothing to mark dts existence but a
few unrecorded speeches and a slim
minority of votes.
The Platform.
The platform adopted by the com
mittee on resolutions contains about
5000 words, including the portions
published yesterday in the Record. Re
garding trusts, the platform says:
The Republican party passed the
Sherman antitrust law over democrat
ic opposition and enforced it after
democratic dereliction. 1t has been a
wholesome instrument for good il the
hands of wise and fearless admins
.ialion Dul Experience has shown that
sss effectiveness can be strengthened
and its real objects better attained
the federal government greater sup
ervision and control over and secure
greater publicity in the management
of that class of corporations engaged
and opportunity to effect monopolies.
The railroad rate law and its vigor-
Gus enforcement by the present admin
istration of the statutes against re-
bates and determinations, as a result
of which the advantages formerly
possessed by large shippers over the
small shippers, has substantially dis
appeared, is approved.
The enactment il a constitutional
form at the present session of cong
ress, of an employers liability law
and the passage and enforcement of
the safety appliance statutes and the
law reducing the hours of railway
.rainme1 and railway telesraphers, is
In regard to wage earners general
" the platform points to many laws
passed by the party for their protec-
ion and betterment and says the
same policy towards its betterment
will be pursued.
The opening phrase of the anti-i1-
junction plank caused a ripple of APP
)lause when read but the portion re-
'erring to the changing of the proceed
Ire of the courts so as to literally
interpret them respecting inju1ctions
cries of mo, no." The court
procedure plank is as follows: The
Republican party will uphold at all
lines the authority and integrity of
he courts, both state and federal, and
will ever insist that their powers to
enforce their process and to protect
ife, liberty and property, shall be
preserved inviolate. We believe, how
ever, that the rule of procedure in
ederal courts with respect to the
writ of injunction should be more ac-
defined by statute and that
10 temporary or restraining injunc-
ion should DE issued without notice,
except where irreparable injury would
'esult from delay, in which case a
speedy hearing thereafter should be
granted.
One plank is devoted to the farm
,rs. 1t says: The prosperity of the
country rests peculiarly upon the pros
,erity of the agriculturalist. The re
publican party during the past twelve
Years has accomplished an extraor--
linary work in bringing the resourc-
IS of the national government to the
lid of the farmer and in adding to
he conveniences of country life. The
work of the agricultural department

If state aid.

or the reason of color alone.
The conservation of the natural res
,urces aad the movement to prevent

he reclamation service, is endorsed
The systematic improvement of the
