all the rival candidates who had been frozen out with

them. The features of the platform, which was
mapped ont last night after considerable worry. were
tho straddle OF the silver question and the Civil Ser

struction most desired The recommendation that the

| reforms Of which much is made. Mr. German an
tagoniEed the Australian system when 1t was first

its party or its own promises and has not so exercised It's
powers to receive or merit the public appreciation
cal reasons TO great extent as at any former
period. President Harrison end Republican Con.

mercial disasters followed. The surplus wasted by
extrOvagan expenditures The unjust and unnecessary
taxation people continued The List Congress APP
prOpracd In the money and credit OF the people more than
a billion OF dollars. The Republican party sought to sow
again the seeds Of sectional discord II beaten at
the polls and created working majority in the House by
illegally deprving number Of Democratic representatives
Of their 1t then sought to pepeuae its power
destroy autonomy the several States by means
Of Force bill The Democratic party Of this
State deeply grateful TO each OF the Senators and Repre-
senatves Congress who contributed the defeat OF
that obnoxious II takes peculiar pleasure In
recognizing the distinguished services OF the Hon Arthur p
German. The people will not tolerate continued submission
TO twenty-five years Of continued peace The
only method by which evils resulting thin be
corrected is by the election Of President and Congress
pledged careful and thorough revision Of the tariff
system. The dollar IS tie unit Of value in the United
States The power OF Congress coin gold and silver
ought be exercised that gold coin silver
will become commodity, and disturb the operations
Of trade but in such that the dollar in gold coin
and the dollar in silver coin shall lie Of equal exchangcabe
value in al the markets Of the United States. ANY
