TRUE DEMOCRATIC DOCTRINE
IN COLORADO.
Mr.. Blaine Deals Out Some Nice
Tafy.
Colorado Democracy.

cratic State Convention reasssmbled at ii
O'Clock this morning, and adopted reso-
lutions indorsing the National Democratic
platform adopted at Chicago. 1t favors
the free, unlimited coinage of silver, and
declares that by the nomination of james
G.. Blaine, an avowed enemy Of the silver
interest, the Republican party has arrayed
itself in open hostility to the vital inter
ests of this State; it opposes granting the
public lands to railroads or other monopo-
lies, and denounces the system of dispos,
ing of large tracts of State school lands to
corporations and individuals; it favors the
enactment of laws to prevent the intro
duction Of contagious animal diseases; it
insists upon the strictest laws regulating
liquor traffic, but opposes prohibition as
unwise, illogical, unconstitutional and
impracticable; it d%enounces the policy OF
the General Government in keeping tribes
of Indians upon the agricultural lands OF
Southern Colorado. and demands legisla-
ton for extinguishing all Indian reserva-
tons in the State and hat the same be
thrown open to actual settlers. The con
vention nominated Andrew D. Wilson of
Denver for Lieutenant Governor and
Charles s.. Thomas of Leadville for
Congress. Adjourned at P. NJ.
TaRy by Mr.. Blaine.
SYRACUSE, N. Y, Sept. 25.-At $50
Blaine left Syracuse to attend the 0swego
Fair. A committee from the Fair Associ.
alton came up on the early train to escort
Blaine and party to the grounds. AS u.s.
ual, he was compelled to hold an informal
reception. He was escorted to a carriage
aud driven around the grounds, 30 that
all the people might have a chance to see
him. When he got up on the stand he
was loudly cheered, and there were shouts
Of ''clear the stand; clear the stand"
Other occupants of the stand sat down,
leaving Blaine the one conspicuous figure.
This seemed to please the crowd greatly.
After they had cheered again and again
Mr.. Merriam, President of the Fair Asso-
citation, introduced Blaine as one Of Amer
leans most eminent and most honored
citizen. Blaine waited for the cheering to
subside and said: There is no year of the his
tory OF the United States in which, through
all its borders, the agriculturalist has re-
joiced as he does this year. There are no
politics in agriculture. Applause. The
crop for the Democrat and Republican is
alike good or bad; the need of the product
is alike to Democrat and to Republican.
We meet, therefore, on the Agricultural
Fair Grounds, if nowhere else, on the
broad plane of American citizenship
good, and cheers which is a much higher
title than Democratic or Republican.
Applause. 1t is in that capacity that
stand before you this morning, and it is in
that capacity l extend to you my congratu-
lations and my very hearty thanks for
your generous reception. [Great cheers.
At IL o'clock the party started on their
return to Syracuse. A stop of a few
minutes was made at Baldwin's Hill,
where Blaine was instroduced to q number
of people.
FrightfuI Accidents.
TORONTO, Ont, Sept. 25.-Three Pull.
man cars and the private car Of Chief En-
gineer Hanniford, Of the Grand Trunk
express for Montreal and Boston, left the
track near Pickering Station last night,
owing to a broken frog, and vent over an
embankment % feet high. At the time
Of the accident il was very dark, and the
rain was pouring down in torrents. The
crash of the rolling cars, the screams
of the women, and the groans and
shrieks of the wounded, all emanating
from the intense darkness, was terrible to
listen to. The horrors were multiplied
when Chief Engineer Hanniford's coach
took fire. The flames burned fercely.
despite the pouring rain, and quickly
communicated to the Pullman coach that
came next, though there the flames were
staid. A large number Of townspeople
quickly gathered and assisted in rescuine
the passengers from the burning Pullman,
As quickly as possible the passengers were
collected together and the roll called, when
it was found that about a dozen were in
jured, but none seriously. How all escaped
is a mystery. One of the coaches was
smashed into kindIing wood. All were
whirled over and over several times, ye'
many escaped absolutely unhurt, while
most OF the wounds were Of a slight char
acter. The injured we're taken to Whitby
where medical aid was procured. The
damage to the track and rolling stock il
estimated at 500, 900.
Afaer the Mormon Again.
NASHVILLE, Sept. 25.-The anti Mormon
crusade has broken afresh 16 mile
south of Lebanon. The Mormon elder
made their appearance six years ago, ant
began to inculcate their doctrine into til,
minds of the ignorant class of people il
the brennan settlement. Many embraced
the belief. For six years these Mormonl
have been unmolested, but the murder O.
Elders Cribs and Berry. in Lewis county
has greatly alarmed them. This has beer
intensified by notices warning them tc
leave Wilson county on pain Of death. Il
is declared that the conduct of the Nor.
mon adherents has been such that some
steps were necessary to compel them to EN-.
igrate, and that should the warning be
disregarded, the threat will be carried into
