QOLDBUG PLATFORM.
Adopted at Indianapolis by the
Democratic Bolters.
Indianapolis, J nil.. Sept. 3.—
Following is the platform adopted
by the national democr.itic con-
vention today:
This convention has assembled
to uphold the principles upon
which depend the honor and wel-
fare of the American people; in
order that democrats throughout
the union may unite their patri-
otic efforts to avert disaster from
their country and ruin from their jean 1
par|y.
The democratic party is pledg-
ed to equal and exact'justice to ! 1)m.ts and have "virtually
all men, of creed and condition; | extinguished the race of Ameri-
can seamen. We oppose the pre-
ume of consumption. The amount
required by the treasury is deter-
mined by the appropriations made
by congress. The demand of the
republican party for an increase
in tariff taxations lias its pretext
in the deficiency of revenue
which has its causes in stagna-
tion of trade and reduced con-
sumption, due entirely to the loss
ol confidence that has followed
the populist threat of free coinage
and depreciation of our money
and the republican practice of
extravagant appropriations be-
yond the needs of good govern-
ment.
We arraign and condemn the
populistic conventions at Chi-
cago and St. Louis for their co-
operation with the republican
party in creating these conditions
which are pleaded in justification
of a heavy increase of the bur-
dens of the people by a further
resort to protection. We there-
fore denounce protection, and es-
pecially free coinage of silver, as
I schemes for the personal profit of
J a few at the expense of the
masses and oppose the two par-
! lies which stand for these
schemes as hostile to the people
of the republic, whose food and
shelter, comfort and prosperity
I are attacked by higher prices and
depreciated money. In fine, we
| reaffirm the historic democratic
[doctrine of tariff for revenue
only.
We demand that henceforth
J modern and liberal policies to-
| ward American shipping shall
take the place of our imitation of
the restricted statutes of the
i eighteenth century, which werej
I long ago abandoned by every j
maratime power but the United
States, and which, to the nation's!
humiliation, have driven Ameri-
euterprise to the
use of alien flags and alien crews,

to the largest freedom of the in-
dividual, consistent with good
government; to the preservation
of the federal government in its
constitutional vigor and to the
support of the states in all their
just rights; to economy in the
public expenditures; to the main-
tenance of the public faith and
sound money; and it is opposed to
paternalism and all class legisla-
tion.
The declarations of the Chicago
convention attack individual free-
tense that discriminating duties
will promote shipping; that
scheme is an invitation to com-
mercial warfare upon the United
States, un American in the light
of our great commercial treaties,
offering no gain whatever to
American shipping, while greatly
increasing ocean freights on our
agricultural and manufacturing
products.
The experience of mankind has
shown that by reason of their

cy, assuring the most stable stand-
ard, and especially the best and
safest money for all who earn their
livelihood by labor or the pro-
duce of husbandry. Tliev can

heresy.
In view of these and other
grave departures from democratic
principles, we cannot support the
candidates of that convention nor
be bound by its acts. The demo-
cratic party has survived many
defeats, but could not survive a
victory won in behalf of the doc- not suffer when paid in the best

it has for years, the power and strafed by long public inconven-
duty of government to raise and iences and loss, the democratic

and 18o.'}, the gold standard of

wise entirely divorced the gov-
ernment from banking and cur-
rency issues. To this long estab-
lished democratic policy we ad-
here, and we insist upon the
evils, except oppressive and un-
just taxation.
The national democracy, here
reconvened, therefore renews its
declarations of faith in demo-
cratic principles, especially as
applicable to the conditions of
the times.
Taxation, tariff, excise or direct, ■ maintenance of the gold stand-
is rightfully imposed only for ard and of the parity therewith
public purposes, and not for pri- of every dollar issued by the gov-
vate gain. Its amount is justly eminent, and are firmly opposed

which should be limited by of silver and to the compulsory
scrupulous economy. The sum purchase of silver bullion. Rut
derived by the treasury from we denounce also the further
tariffs and excise levies is affect- maintainence of the present eost-
ed by the state of fr.nl>- and vol- ly patchwork system of national
paper currency, a constant source
of injury and peril.
We assert the necessity of such
intelligent currency reform as
will confine the government to its
legtimate functions, completely
separate it from the banking busi-
ness and afford to all sections of
our country a uniform, safe and
elastic currency under govern-
ment supervision, measured in
volume byr the needs of business.
The fidelity, patriotism and
courage with which President
Cleveland has fulfilled his great
public trust, the high character of
his administration, its wisdom and
energy in the maintenance of civ-
il order and enforcement of the
laws, its equal regard for the
rights ol every class and every
section, its firm and dignified con-
duct of foreign affairs and its
sturdy persistence in upholding
the credit and honor of the nation
are fully recognized by the demo-
cratic party and will secure to
him a place in history beside the
leaders of the republic. We also
commend the administration for
the great progress made in the
reform of the public service, and
we endorse its efforts to extend
the merit system still further.
We demand that no backward
step be taken, but that the re-
forms be supported and advanced
until the undemocratic spoils sys-
tem of appointments shall be
eradicated.
We demand strict economy in
appropriations and in the admin-
istration of the government:
We favor arbitration for the
settlement of international dis-
putes.
We favor a liberal policy of
pensions to the deserving soldiers
and sailors of the United States.
The supreme court of the
United States was wisely estab
lished by the framers of our con-
stitution as one of the three co-
ordinate branches of the govern-
ment. Its independence and au-
thority to interpret the law of the
land without fear or favor must
be maintained. We condemn all
efforts to degrade that tribunal
or impair the. confidence and re-
spect which it has deservedly
held.
The democratic party ever his
maintained and ever will main-
tain the supremacy of law and in-
dependence, of its judicial admin-
istration, the inviolability of con-
tracts and the obligation of all
good citizens to resist every ille-
gal trust, combination or attempt
ugainst the just rights of proper-
ty and the good order of society,
in which are bound up the peace \
and happiness of our people.
Believing these principles to be
essential to the well being of the
republic, we submit them to the
consideration of the American
people.

PALMER AND BUCKNER
Are the Nominees Selected by the
Bolting Gold Standardists to
try to Defeat the Regular
Ticket.
Indianapolis, Ind., Sept..'}.—
John M. Palmer of Illinois, and
Simon Bolivar Buckner of Ken-
tucky, two white-haired veterans
of the war, rival commanders of
blue and gray, were nominated
to-day by the national democratic
convention for president and vice-
president on a brief, but emphat-
ic platform, which repudiates the
doctrine enunciated by the Chica-
go convention; indorses President
Cleveland and his administration
in glowing terms, declares for the
gold standard, a tariff for revenue
only, liberal shipping laws, cur-
rency reform, civil service and
economy in public expenditures.
Fatal Boiler Explosion.
Waco, Texas, Sept. 1.—Sam
Johnson, a colored man, owned
and operated a cotton gin ou the
Tehuacana, nine miles from Waco.
To-day, while it was running and
crowded with colored people, the
boiler burst and killed Henry
Williams, the ginner. His body
was thrown forty yards and dread-
fully mangled. William Smith
aud Henry Smith, two operatives,
' were severely scalded. Sam
Johnson, the owner of the gin,
had both legs, one arm and sever-
al ribs broken. Other colored
hands suffered injuries

Years
♦ ♦ ♦ ♦
For more than twenty years
we have been telling how
Scott's Emulsion overcomes the
excessive waste of the system,
puts on flesh, nourishes and
builds up the body, making it
the remedy for all wasting di-
seases of adults and children,
but it isn't possible for us to
tell the story in a mere stick-
ful of newspaper type.
We have had prepared for
us by a physician a little book,
telling in easy words how and
why Scott's Emulsion benefits,
and a postal card request will
be enough to have it sent to
you free. To-day would be a
good time to send for it.

Of Interest to Bicycle Riders.
There can be no question that one
of the most important parts of a bicy-
cle is the tire. It has to bear the brunt
of the work, is constantly coming in
contact with destroying elements,
and generally receives the least care
from the rider. The importance of
the work it has to do was early rec-
ognized by makers of bicycles, how-
ever, and they have given much at-
tention to this important adjunct of
the wheel.
There are to-day, perhaps, thirty
different styles of bicycle tires on the
market, all of which vary in detail.
As to their various merits, theories
are of little value; actual experience
is the only way to determine this
question. Unless an article gives
satisfaction, demand for it soon ceases.
After a test of over six years, during
which time double-tube and single-
tube tires have been marketed, at
least three-fourths of all the riders in
this country to-day demand and ride
double-tube tires.
The leading firm in the United
States, and in fact in the entire world,
in the manufacture of double-tube
tires, is Morgan & Wright, Chicago.
Their history is interesting. The first
pneumatic tire—the rags-and-glue
kind—was giving trouble, and Mor-
gan & Wright stepped in to fill a
great public want. They luruished a
tire that could be easily taken from
the rim to be repaired. That was the
principal requirement in those days,
besides the usual requirements of
speed, durability and comfort.
That was several years ago. Single-
tube tires had been pushed in Europe,
and were failing, and the same effort
was being started in this country.
The Morgan & Wright double-tube
tire quickly proved its superiority—
with the result stated above. The
quick-repair inner tube, which is this
year a standard feature of all of this
firm's tires, has made the position of
double-tube tires practically invinci-
ble, by making it quick and easy for
the riders to secure, at the roadside,
a permanent repair—a thing admit-
tedly impossible in the majority of
single-tube accidents.
Oil Plant Burned.
Taylor, Tex., Sept. 3.—The
Taylor cotton seed oil plant at
this place was destroyed by lire
this afternoon. Loss estimated
at $25,000, partly covered by in-
surance. The fire originated from
a hot box in the tinting machin-
ery. A vast amount of cotton
seed, oil cakes and meal, bagging,
sacks of twine, etc., went up in
smoke.
If you have ever seen a little
child in the agony of summer
complaint, you can realize the
danger of the trouble and appre-
ciate the value of instantaneous
relief always afforded by De-
Witt's Colic and Cholera Cure.
For dysentery and diarrhoea it is
a reliable remedy. We could not
afford to recommend this as a
cure unless it were a cure. Lips-
