THE NEW HAMPSHIRE PLAT
FORM.

The New Hampshire Democracy, in
Convention assembled, have sounded
the KEY note for the Presidential cam
paign. The Granite State is the first to
| hold an election in the Centennial year,
aud the first to enunciate the prin-
ciples on which the political battle
will be won or lost. The Convention
recognized the fact that old issues
should be abandoned, and dealt with
live ones. only. The platform OF prin-
ciples declare against Federal inter-
ference in State affairs, and third
term, and in favor of a currency based
on coin, retrenchment and economy in
the administration of the Government
and free the schools. Il says the PEG
pie of every State have the sole and ex-
elusive right to govern themselves, and
ought to enjoy every power which has
not been expressly delegated to the Uni
ted States of America in Congress assem-
bled. That the Democratic party has
been always, as it is now. in favor of
sound currency, fixed in value and con-
| vertible into coin at the will of the
| holder, and that the present unstable
and fuctuating currency, the creation
of the Republican party, has largely con-
tributed to the deplorable evils which
now a1aict the country. That as the
| Democratic National Convention of
| 1872 declared, speedy return to specie
payment is demanded by the highest
| considerations of commercial morality
and honest government; that such legis-
lation should be adopted as will steadi-
ly tend TO this result with the least pos
sible arrangement to the business of
the country, and that the most safe,
sure, direct and speedy way to this end
lies in severe retrenchment, strict econ
omy and the honest direction of
all revenues to legitimate purposes
| of the Government - in other
4 words, thorough administrative reform
and honest Government. That our
inestimable system of common school s
and scheme of religions liberation are
the works of Democratic hands; that it
is the duty of the State to provide for
the education of its children; that it is
the ipalienable right of every citizen to
worship God according to the dictates
| of his own conscience, and no political
disabilities should be incurred by rea.
son of religious belief. and that all at
| temps to raise sectarian issues in poll.
| tics is uncalled for. and meets the EN-.
phatic condemnation of every good
citizen, that we favor tariff for reve-
nue. only, and are unalterably opposed
to favoritism in legislation, and to all
subsidies to individuals, classes, corpo.
rations or monopoles.
These are the principles for which
the Democratic party will contend in
the Presidential cempaign. They are
living issues which will have to be de-
cided at the ballot-box, and we COM
mend them to the careful consideration
of every candid citizen.

held here the expression of my con-
viction that no reform of civil SER

repeatedly exposed the fntility of

dates or incumbents. Through this

impossible for me to contemplate
what needs to be done in the FEEDER

"I have no influence with the present
administration. No man has who is

General Thomas L. Clingham, of
North Carolina, has no doubt that
Tilden will carry that State ''by 10,-

Republican party should resort to
fraudulent votes and ballot-box stuff

GOV. HENDRICKS LETTER
OF ACCEPTANCE.

SARATOGA, N. Y. Aug. 4.-The
following is Mr.. Hendricks letter:
INDIANAPOLIS, July "a, 1916
Gentlemen | have the honor to ac-
knowledge the receipt of your COM
munication, in which you have for
mally notified me of nv nomination
by the National Democratic Couven-
tion at St. Louis as their candidate
for the Office of Vice President Of the
United States. It is a nomination
which neither expected nor desired,
and yet recognize and appreciate
the high honor done me by the con-
vention. The choice of such body,
and pronounced with such unusual
unanimity, and accompanied with SO
generous an expression of esteem
and confidence, ought TO outweigh
merely personal desires and prefer
ences of my own. 1t is with this
feeling, ard | trust also from a deep
sense of public duty, that 1 now ac-
cept the nomination and shall abide
the judgment of my countrymen. 1t
! would have been impossible for me
to accept the nomination if could
not heartily endorse the platform of
the convention. / am gratided,
therefore, to be able unequiyocally
to declare that agree in the prin-
ciples, approve the policies and SYM
pathize with the purposes enunciated
in that platform.
DepIorable State of Public
Affairs.
The institutions of our country
have been sorely tried by the exigen-
cies of civil war, and since the peace.
by selfish and corrupt management
of public affairs. which has shamed
us before civilized mankind. By
unwise and partial legislation every
industry and interest of the people
have been made to suffer, and in the
Executive Departments Of the Gov
ernment, dishonesty, rapacity and
venality have debauched the public
service. Men known to be unworthy
have been promoted, whilst others
have been degraded for fidelity to
official duty. Public Office has been
made the means of private profit,
and the country has been offended
to see a class of men, who boast the
friendship of the sworn protectors of
the State, amassing fortunes by de-
fraudine the public Treasury, and
by corrupting the servants of the
people. In such crisis Of the his
tory of the country. / rejoice that
the convention at st. Louis has so
nobly raised the standard Of reform.
Nothing can be we'll with us or our
affairs, until the public conscience,
shocked by the enormous evils and
abuses which prevail, shall have de-
manded and compelled an
Unsparing Reformation
of our National administration in its
head and in its members. In such
reformation, the removal of q single
officer, even the President, is COM
paratively a trifing matter, II the
system which he represents and
which has fostered him as he has
fostered it. is suffered to remain.
| The President alone must not be
made the scapegoat for the enormi-
ties OF the system which infects the
public service and threatens the de-
struction of our institutions. In
some respects I hold that the pres
ent Executive has been the victim,
rather than the author of that vicious
system. Congressional and party
LEADERS have been stroager than the
President. No one man could have
/ created it, and the removal Of no one
man can amend 1t. II ID thoroughly

corrupt and must be swept remorse-
lessly away by the selection of
government composed Of elements
entirely new and pledged to radical
reform. The first work of reform
must evidently be the restoration Of
the normal operation Of the Consti-
tuition of the United States with all
its amendments. The necessities Of
war cannot be pleaded in a time Of
peace. The right of local self-gov-
ernment as guaranteed by the Con-
stitution must be everywhere restor-
ed, and the centralized. almost per-
sonal imperialism, which has been
practised, must be done away, or the
lirst principles of Republic will be
lost

REV. GEO. A. PHoEBUs' SERMON BEFORE

REV. GEO. A. PHoEBUs' SERMON BEFORE
THE CONFERENCE.
Before the Wilmington Conference
and large audience iii Union M. E..
Church, yesterday afternoon, Rev.
Geo. A. Phoebus, preached the Con-
ference Centennial sermon. /. was a
complete, finished effort, and after
briliy reviewing the progress of Church
and State for the past century closed
as follows:
Summing up the stages OF progress
in this ecclesiastical development,
they are seen in the impulse to immi.
grafton given by freedom; In the quiet
but firm resistance to ecclesiastical
Nominations, especially by the Catho-
lies and Quakers; in the growing con-
viction that ecclesiasticism is an evil
for avoidance; in the cutting down of
clerical revenues SO as to starve out
the incumbents of parishes, and final
ly by the overt act of separation by
excluding clergymen and preachers
from State offices. Such develop
ment is also possible of demonstration
in the whisky.trafflc, the delicacies of
the miscreant cOrmorants of which are
children's hearts, and their libations
mothers tears.
If the church and State have been
separated, our solemn responsibility is
to maintain that separation by resist
ing appropriations on the part of the
State sectarian purposes, by demand
| ing that no denomination shall be sup
ported by State aid. Let us bear in
mind that there Is no logical difference
between supporting the clergy under
the system which America discarded a
century ago and that of supporting
Catholic or other sectarian schools in
whole or in part out of the public
treasury. Has the law of liberty liber.
ated four million of slaves? Then ii
becomes our duty to bring them to the
true enjoyment of that liberty. If, as
has been asserted, the Methodist
church is the most largely responsible
for that liberation, let it see to it thai
the church assume the guidance OF
these ignorant and helpless souls
These are the duties devolving upon
us as we enter upon the responsible
ties of the second century.
