made a talk for it itc c The senator talked Interestingly tinSly of the session of the platform committee that was held Wednesday night The issue he said wa was whether a simple reaffirmation of th the Chicago platform would be sufficient or whether it would be best to reaffirm and in addition to put in a special re iteration of the silver plank I took the ground that there was no essential difference between the points sug I pointed out aut however that if the 1896 1596 platform was simply reaffirmed without an any other reference to the ail au ailer auter ter er Question It would be construed vas vasa a surrender of the issue as laid down in 1896 The committee on platform was In session until 4 o clock this morning at which time a vote ote showed a major ity In favor faor or of
