THE AMERICAN PARTY.
A Ticket Nominated In Chicago and .
Platform Adopted.

fihtIorm Adopted.
CHICAGO, Sept. 1.-THE independent
American party held meeting and nom
mated ticket and adopted a platform,
and formally entered the campaign. Over
800 men and women were present. Pro-
fessor Walter Simms, general organizer of
the American Protective association, read
the declaration of principles.
The platform demands the extension of
civil service reform to state, city and town
officers, and that Americans be made the
only tenure of office. On the question of
immigration 1t asks for five year resi-
dsnce as qualification for a voter. and
also that he must be able to read the con-
stitution of the United States. All trusts
are denounced. The money of the govern
ment, it says, should be gold, silver and
greenbacks, and all should be legal ten
der, and 1t asks the establishment of pos
tai savings banks. A tariff for protection
is demanded, and that tariff and protec-
tion be taken out of politics.
The public schools should be held free
from sectarian influence, and United
States senators be elected by direct vote
OF the people. One plank in the platform
says If the mayor and county officials are
cognizant of gambling and they do not
undertake to suppress it that should be
cause for impeachment of either or both.
Another series Of resolutions. by A. w.
Winters, followed, declared for protec-
tion of the American constitution, the
flag, the public schools, and the complete
separation of church. These were also
adopted.
Three tickets, state. legislative and
county, were nominated. The state of
ficers nominated arc: State treasurer,
General o. B. Mann; superintendent of
public instruction, Samuel d. Snow; con-
gressmen, First district, w. 8. McComas;
Fifth, Joseph w. p. Pickles; Seventh,

But some ideal that is bound to fall
And only through greater sacrifice
Prove joy unworthy of the purchase pricet

So dark its stars might not our fears assuast;
Alasl such consolation fills the night

ABSOLUTELY PURE

on tho Evidence Before the Court.

on tho Evidence Before the Court.
CHICAGO, Sept. 14.-Much to the sur
prise of everyone the defense announced
yesterday afternoon when the last wit
ness for the prosecution had been heard
that they would state their case on the
evidence before the court Mr.. McGregor
said the defense had some witnesses that
could modify the testimony, but that the
cardinal points would probably not be eff
fected. He said that he and his associates
would therefore refrain from putting wit
nesses in rebuttal on the stand. and would
be ready after reasonable time for the
preparation of abstracts.
This was apparently great surprise to
Mr.. Walker and his associates who repre-
sent the prosecution However, after
some preliminary stipulation as to the
preparation of papers, Judge Woods adj
journed court until Tuesday, Sept. %,
when the arguments will be heard
Twenty days after that the defense will
present its briefs and the whole matter
will 20 to the court.
Counsel for the defense express them
selves as confident that the government
has not made its case on the testimony
produced, and are confident Of being able
in the end to free Mr.. Debs and the other
officers and directors of he American
Railway union from the contempt charges.
On the other hand, counsel for the prose
tion are quite as confident of success. 1t
! is thought the case may run well into
November before it is finally ended.
