Delaware Pro hibitionists held their state convention here today and named delegates to the national convention of the party at Pittsburg on May 27. They adopted a platform, in which they say: "We advocate the entire elimination of the tariff question from partisan pon tics and its reference to a non-partisan commission, which, under proper regu lations by congress, shall adjust the schedules to the changing; conditions of trade, thus freeing the whole subject from political bargaining and commer cial distrust and giving greater permn- nency to tne system, greatly to the benefit of the farmer and mechanic, as well as the manufacturer and nil classes of society. "With all progressive nations we be lieve that gold should bo the standard of value for our monetnry system: but we also believe that silver and national bank notes should be used as mediums of exchange, and recognized as equal in value to gold In payments of all obli gations, nutional as well as private debts Included." The platform also makes the usual declaration of prohibition principles; declares for the purity of the ballot; protests against money obtained from liquor licenses being used for school purposes and believes in equal right of suffrage.
