At the Republican National Convention in Minneapolis tension rose as crowds clashed over seating and chairing the affair. Delegates pressed for rules, credentials, and the adoption of platform pledges while speakers urged unity and a strong national economy.
The article reports the third day of the Republican National Convention in St Louis on June 1. It details the platform readings and debates led by Foraker and Teller, the substitution proposal on the platform, and the ensuing vote that adopts the party platform endorsing gold and silver coinage while opposing foreign central economic control. Delegates from Utah and Colorado bolt and later rejoin as the platform is adopted.
A fragment outlines strong opposition to free coinage and a push to preserve the gold standard. It condemns international debasement, calls for parity between silver and paper currency, and supports maintaining current U.S. monetary standards. It also mentions aid and recognition for army veterans and hints at continuation on another page.
