Convention Hail, St. Louis,
Mo., June 18.—Convention called
to order at 10:30 a. m. Foraker
presented platform at 10:3G a. m.
The platform declares that the ex-
isting gold standard should be
maintained; opposes free coinage
of silver; pledges protection to
American industries; favors reci-
procity and just retaliation; en-
dorses Harrison's administration
and denounces democratic rule:
favors protecting American sugar.
Endorses the Monroe doctrine,
extension of civil service and op-
poses the use of money for secta-
rian purposes. Favors liberal
pensions; advocates government
construction of Nicaraguan canal:
favors restriction of immigation,
ood officers and active interposi-
tion for restoration of peace in
Cuba.
Clause in the platform favoring
sound money loudly applauded.
Platform also denounces action of
present government in arbitrarily
reducing pensions and list of pen-
sions. Platform restricts in>mi-
grat'on to those who can read and
write.
Illinois delegation has voted to
support Hobart of New Jersey for
vice-president.
Foraker moves adoption of
platform. Teller rises to object.
Great cheering and confusion.
Teller moves substitute for finan-
cial plank favoring use of gold
and silver as equal standard and
free and unrestricted coinage of
silver at the ratio of 1G to 1.
Teller takes platform to support
his motion, and is listened to with
irreat attention. Says progress of
country depends upon recognition
of silver.
Teller says it is as important a
question as whether this country
should have been divided under
two flags. Teller's various points
are being loudly cheered. Teller
says majority of financial plank
would lower the price of farm
products and that protective tariff
can not be maintained on a gold
standard. Teller says he believes
a large majority of the people of
this country favor silver. Teller
says he believes the adoption of
t>old standard will work great
hardships and that the welfare of
the people is at stake in this con-
test. Teller annonces that he can
not support any nominee on a gold
platform, and that he will be
forced out of the party if
gold prevails, and says he may
never address a national republi-
can convention again.
Teller finished and Foraker
takes platform and moves that the
substitute be laid on table.
Roll of state ordered on Fora-
ker's motion.
California votes against laying
substitute on table.

tion of demand of Idaho that the
plank be voted on separate from
the rest of platform.
Motion to vote on financial
plank separately carried. Finan-
cial plank of the platform adopt-
ed.
Cannon of Utah takes platform
for personal statement regarding
platform adopted. Cannon says
action is outrageous and releut-
less on the part of the majority in
favor of gold. Mnch confusion
cheers and hisses.
Chairman Thurston says the re-
publican party does not fear any
declaration. Great cheering.
Nearly all delegates and visitors
on their feet.
Cannon announces names of
persons signing statement which
! are those who presented minority

I Great excitement—andience sing-
