Chicago, July 8.- There will be no waste of time on platform when the committee on resolutiĆ³ns is appointed if the silver men can control the matter in this respect. The platform has already been prepared. It is complete and ready to j present to the committee. It will not be long and will deal especially with the financial question, putting it first in order and giving it lirst rank in order of iinportance. It will be a flat declaration in favor of the free mintage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1 with gold and will declare in terms against awaiting the co-operatiou of any other nation. This plank will be in the nature of a brief address and appeal to the people to unite upon the reform of the finances, putting aside all other questions until the financial gystem can be changed. Proceeding on this theory there will be a declaratiou against any change in the present tariff until the financial question can be disposed of by legislation. There will be a declaration against the issuance of rnoney by banks and also against issuing interest-bearing bonds in time of peace. Senator Jones, of Arkansas, will probably be chairman of the committee on resolutiĆ³ns.
