Upon the question of finance, the plat
form denounees the Sherman act OF 1871,
on the purchase of silver, as cowardly
make-shift fraught with possibilities Of dan
yer in the future; holds to the use OF
both gold and silver as the standard money
of the country and to the coinage oil both
gold and silver without discriminating
against either metal or charge for mlntase'
hut the dollar unit of coinage of both met
ais must be of equal intrinsic and exchange
able value or be adjusted through interna-
tional agreement, or by such safeguards or
legislation as shall insure the maintenance
of the purity of the two metals, and the
equal power of every dollar at all times In
the markets and in the payment of debts;
and demands that all paper currency
shall be kept at par with and redecmable
in such coin.
Public Office is held to be public trust,
and the platform denounces as a scandalous
satire upon free popular institutions and a
startling illustration of the methods by
which a President may crafty his ambi-
ton, referring to the fact that Harrison 5
office-holders dominated the Minneapolis
convention.
These are the chief declarations of the
party. The other questions dealt with are
of minor Importance. The great issues are
Tariff Reform, Free Elections, Civil Ser
vice Reform, and a Stable Currency.

Saturday night about mdnig hit a number of
drunken roughs broke into the Kelley house
and there found Ernest and Liz. Ernest was
stripped of his clothing and taken out doors.
where his body was covered with lukewarm

rolled in the feathers till he was covered with
them. He was then pelted with eggs and
vegetables and run to the bay, where he sue
ceeded in getting partially clean He then

The Democratic Platform.

The platform adopted at Chicago is given
in full in the report Of the proceedings Of
the Democratic National Convention. Phe
first section reafirms allegiance TO the
principles of the party as formulated from
the Constitution by Jefferson, and exempli-
fed by the long and illustrious line of sue
cessors in Democratic leadership.
The second section gives great promi-
nenee to the dangers threatening the re-
public from federal control of elections.
This is the most serious question of the
day, and the Democratic press and orators,
following the lead of the national conven-
lion, should make it prominent in the can
vass and thoroughly impress the people Of
the peril to free institution in the event of
the success of the Republican party, which
has committed itselfto the policy. A Force
bill only failed during the Reed Congress
through the matchless skill of Senator
German and the votes of several of the
Western Senators, among whom was Sen
ator Teller, Of Colorado, who in "a speech
in the Senate, in April last, character
ICED the bill as the most infamous that
ever passed the threshold of the Senate.
fAvowedly in the interest Of good govern
ment," said Mr.. Teller, sit was instigated,
in my judgment, by men whose interest
was IN preventing free expression of the
voters at the polls.
Tax reduction was next taken up,
and the Republican policy of protection is
denounced as fraud The Mckinley tar
iff law is characterized as the eliminating
atrocity of class legislation, and the party
declares for tariff for revenue, denying any
constitutional power to impose and collect
taxes except for the actual needs of gov
ernment economically administered.
