The state republican. (Jefferson City, Mo.) 1871-1896, 1894-10-04
The following clause in favor Of Sill
yer closed the platform: -


We indorse the language used by the
Hon. John q. Carlisle in 1878, when he
denounced the conspiracy" to destroy
silver money, as "the most gigantic crime
OF this or any other age" and we agree
| with him that "the consummation Of
such a scheme would ultimately entail
more misery upon the human race than
all the wars, pestilences and famines that
ever occurred in the history OF the world"
We are not willing to be parties to such
a crime, and in order to undo the wrong
already done, and to prevent the further
appreciation OF money, we favor the
immediate restoration Of the free and
unlimited coinage OF gold and silver at
the present ratio OF 16 to 1, without wait
ing for the aid or consent OF any other
nation on earth.
We regard the right to issue money as
an attribute OF sovereignty and believe
that all money needed to supplement the
gold and silver coinage OF the constitu-
tion and to make the dollar stable in
purchasing power that 1t Will defraud
neither debtor nor creditor, should be
issued by the general government as the
greenbacks were issued, that such
money should be redeemable in coin, the
government to exercise the option by
redeeming in gold or silver whichever is
most convenient for the government.
We believe that all money issued by
the government, whether gold, or silver
or paper, should be made full legal ten
der for all debts, public and private, and
that no citizen should be permitted to
demonetize by contract that which the
government makes money by law.
After the adoption of the platform
the leaders of the fusion and anti
fusion factions announced an agree
ment and Judge Holcomb, the
populst candidate for governor, was
indorsed by large majority.
The ticket was completed as fol-
lows, the 104 anti fusionists boiling
during the progress: Lieutenant
governor, J. N. Gaftin; secretary of
state, f. r. Ellick; treasurer, G. A.
Linkhart; attorney general, d. b.
Carey; auditor, j. c. Dahlman; COM
missioner of public lands and build
ings, S. j. Kent; superintendent of
public instruction, w. A. Jones.
Holcomb, Gaffin, Carey, Kent and
Jones are populist nominees. The
regular convention then adjourned.
The boilers at once organized into
a separate convention and began the
work of selecting straight demo
cratic ticket. This was soon made
up as follows: For governor, P. d.
Sturdevant; lieutenant governor,
r. L. Dunphy; secretary of state,
ID. II. Rolf; auditor, Otto Bauman;
treasurer, Luke Dridenthal; attorney
general, John II. Ames; commits
sioner VI puU'i. ,a"us .---- .----o-,
Jacob Bigier; superintendent of pub
lie instruction, Milton Doolittle.
The bolters' convention then ad-
journed, after adopting a platform
similar to the other excepting that
it favored gold basis.
The bolter ticket was at once taken
to the secretary of state at Lincoln
with the demand that he receive
and register it as the ticket of the
democratic convention. The secre-
tary of state said the matter of which
was the real democratic ticket would
have to be determined by the courts.

REFORMING THE GAME.

From the Mexico Intelligencer.
Parents who send their sons off to
college will be glad to learn that the
national league has drawn up code
which will mitigate the brutality of
foot ball. The game is all right but
the way it is played now causes par
ents much uneasiness about the per-
sonal safety of their children.

FOREIGN NEWS.

The long expected battle between
the japanese and Chinese forces at
Ping Yang, in northern Korea, has
been fought. The dispatches pub
lished from Seoul and confirmed from
Shanghai leave no doubt that Japan
has won victory that not only puts
her in complete possession of Korea
but seriously weakens the entire mil
ilary defense of the Chinese Empire,
Besides losing large part of the
Hover OF her army and several of her
ableat officers, China must suffer even
more from the moral effect of 30 dis

such unexpected tactics by the Jap

After Keeping up a steady and
effective fire on the Chinese front at
Ping Yang the Japanese sent three

The attack was made at 3 o'clock in
the morning. and the 10000 Chinese,
finding themselves hemmed in on all
sides. We're utterly demoralize and

thousand killed and some $4,000
prisoners. including four generals.
The Japancs st say they lost but 30
killed and 27O wounded. The Japanese
say that this ends the war in Korea,
and that it is now merely question
whether China will submit at once to
meet terms as Japan may dictate, or
will take he chance Of still more and
heavier disaster. Even before the
battle at Ping Yang it was reported
that at Toxic wagers were being laid
that the japanese would be at Pekin
early in November.

STRIKE COMMISSION.

STRIKE COMMISSION.
The United States commission
appointed to investigate the Chicago
strike, after two days executive
session for the purpose of discussing
report to be submitted to the presi-
dent, adjourned until the last weel;
in October.
The commission was able to har-
monize such differences of opinion
as existed, and there will be no
minority report. The report will be
full document, so one of the mem
bers of the commission said, and
will, after summarizing the facts as
set forth in the testimony and dis
cussing at considerable length the
schemes suggested for adjusting and
avoiding differences between labor
and capital, gives its conclusions.
Their conclusions, the commission
ers have decided not to make public.
1t would, they say, be discourteous
to the president to do so.
"The solution of the problem wi b
which we are to deal, 'said one of the
commissioners, sis a more ditliru!t
one than that of the civil war. The
government knew what it had 10 do
meet force with force. This prob
| lem is beset with the .pCrploXities
that surround the rights of capital
and of personal liberty. We have
had no experience of other countries
to guide us. The report will discuss
the question in all its phases, and,
think, offer something practical,
although, of course, any legislation
must be tentative
1t is believed that the report will
lay special stress on arbitration, ant
will offer general scheme of arbi
tration for the settlement of future
difficulties.
