Has Adopted a New Silver
'Platform.
HAVETHEIR CONVICTIONS
And
Are Not Af.aid to
Them Plainly.
Express
Sacuamento, May 7. The report of
the committee on platform was then
made. Tlio platform favors the pro
posed amendment to the constitution
of California extending the elective
franchise to women; Indorses the
course or Senator Perkins; indorses

colnugoof silver at the ratio of 10 to 1,
and making silver as well as gold legal
tender In tho payment of nil debts,
both public and private; favors cood
roads and pledges the Republican
party to the policy of constructing
throughout tho country roads on a
scientific and economic basis; demands
such national legislation on foreign
immigration as will effectually keep
but of the country contract laborers,
paupers, criminals, and diseased per
sons, and classes whoso teachings and
presence disturb social peace and or
dcr, and demands such u change in
tho naturalisation laws as will pre
vent foreign-born citizens unlit to ex
ercise tho franchise from becoming
citizens; future treaties with other
nations' should provide for such recip
rocal deportation of criminals and In
sane as would make each nation pro
vide for its own; while recognizing
the right to establish schools through
private enterprise, it demands that
none but non-sectarian free public
schools shall receive public aid, In
dorses the proposition that farmers'
labor and product should bo protected,
and as prices obtained by farmers
have lately been unremuneratlve, ap
proves the plan that the national gov
ernment shpiild reduce the cost of
transportation of staple and agrlcult.
ural products from American to for
eign seaports, and favors the use of a
limited portion of the United States
customs for thh purpose, and pledges
the party to enact such a law. It
pledges the party to legislation thor
oughly protecting the dairy Interest
and the public from imposition in the
sale ot dairy products; favors such
aid and protection to miners as will
enable them to obtain and develop
by Salem People $
W .
V V
their property, and encourage al
kinds of mining, Including hydraulic
mining; advocates a revision of the
tariff law upon the basis of tho Amer
ican protective system; condemns tho
policy Of the Democratic party ad
ministration the last four years
which has resulted In destroying
every barrier to American protection.
Tho platrorm concludes In full as
follews:
"We believe that we should live
under a banner calculated to give us
tlio most protection in weakness and
in strength, and that such n system
rests upon the basis of the American
protective tariff as ndvocatcd by
James G.Blaine, and William MoKIn
lcy. A delegate to tho national con
vention Is charged with public trusts,
and with the execution of a public
mandate. William MoKlnloy, of
Ohio, Is the choice of the people of
California for tho nomlnat'on for
president of the United States.
Therefore wo endorse him for such
nomination, and our delegates nro
instructed to vote for him and to use
their best endeavors to procure his
nomination."
"We commend tho courso of the
delegates In congress In opposing tho
proposed funding scheme of tho Paci
fic railroad companies, nnd we believe
that they should be compelled to rat
tle their indebtedness In some reason
able and businesslike way, or that the
government shall foreclose its liens
upon and take possession of tho
propertlos.'1
Geo. Knight, In an eloquent address,
In which he charged that tho MoKln-
ley plank In tho platform was not
strong enough, called attention to the
fact that at the Minneapolis conven
tion, California's delegates voted
against Blaln and In favor ot Harri
son. Ho closed by offering the follow
ing substitute.
"Resolved, that the Republicans of
California, while recognizing the
earnest work and fitness of each of tho
distinguished statesmen of their party
whose names have been mentioned, us
aspirants for the presidential nomina
tion at St. Louis, and while pledging
In advance tho electoral vote of the
Golden state to the Republican noinU
nee, whoever It may be, hereby de
plores that tho emphatic sentiment of
California lain favor of the nornlna.
tfon of that wise and able statesman,
that pure unsullied patriot, William
McKlnlcy, of Amorlca, and the dele
gates from this state are hereby di
rected and Instructed to work and
vote for the success of said William
McKiuley us long as there is a reason

measure restored order, and a motion
to adopt was put, amid a wild turmoil
of conflicting cries. Tho ayes wero
reinforced by yells from the galleries
and corridors, as woro the uuys; but
the Indications wero that the vote was
about 3 to 1 for tho resolutions.
Tho platform extols the Benjamin
Harrison's administration and favors
tho use of silver as currency "but to

insanity. Holmes has left a letter
with his lawyors, to bo opened after
his death In caso tho supremo court
will not grant him a stay. It Is sup
