GOLD THE PLANK,
The text of the financial plank of the plat.
form was agreed to at a conference held im-
mediately after breakfast by Mr. Hauna,
Benator-eiect Foraker and Senator Lodge
it is in part as follows:
“We are unaaliterably opposed fo every
measure calculated to debase our currency
or impair the credit of our country, We are
therefore opposed to free coinage of siiver,
except by international agreement, and un.
til such an agreement ean be obtained the
existing gold standard must be preserved
Ail our silver and paper now in circulation
As currency must be maintained at a parity
with gold, and we favor all measures to
maintain inviolably the obligations of the
United States and all our money, whether
¢oin or paper, at the present standard, the
standard of the most enlightened nations of
the earth.”
As Mr, Hanon and Mr. Lodge separated,
Mr. Hanna smiled sod remarked to Mr.
Lodge, “Really, Mr. Lodges, you are the
most persistent Individeal with whom 1
ever come in contact ’ And with a touch of
sarcasm, continued, “Of course, the McKin-
iey men will be permitted to write the tariff
plank, and that will come first.”
“.eriainly,” sald Mr. Lodge, “the tariff
plank will come firet. 1 am not at all une
reasonable, 1 do net care in the least what
color you paint this wagon, so long as you
paint it red.
And thereupon, In very good nature, the
conference concluded.

Chairman Thurston's address was puncta-
ated all the way through with applause and
cheers
Silver Men in Tears.
While the convention was proceeding with
its work, a dramatic scene was being enacted
in the committee on resolutions. The group
of Western sliver men, headed by Seaator
Teter, of Colorado, announced to their cole
leagues, when the plank in the platform was
agreed upon by a vote of 40 to 11, that they
bad reached the parting of the ways, and
that nothing remained for them but to with-
draw from the convention.
It was thought that there would be vio.
1 nt reeriminations and wild words of denun-
ciation when the flaal announcement of the
break came, but, iostead, it was the parting
of old friends in sorrow, not in anger,
The silver men felt themselves swept on by
an irresistable fate, and with protestations
of regret they east the die, Bpeeches were
made by Senator Teller, who joined the Re-
publican party at its inception, and who was
an ardent supporter of Lincoln, and who for
twenty years has represented his Btate in the
Senate of the United States as a Republican,
save for two years in the cabinet of Presi.
dent Arthur.
When the silver delegates walk out of the
convention it is thelr purpose to hold a
meeting of their own, st which they will
probably place Senator Teller in the fold as
a candidate for the presidency on a free sil
ver platform. A number of Populist leaders,
including Chairman Taaveseck and Hon. T.
M. Patterson, of Denver, are in the city, and
it is understood that they will endorse the
selection on behalf of that party ina publis
address. The oaly obstacle standing in the
way of this course is the fact that Senator
Telier bas not yet given his assent.
