GOLD IN ABUNDANCE.

Another Rich Deposit Discovered Il"
Montana.
Butte, Mont, Sept. 10.-Another
great gold discovery has been made in
Montana, and this time in a neighbor
hood which has furnished millions of
gold to the world from its plaoers
F. 8. Thurston, general manager of
the Old Faithful mine, few miles
from the old town of Bannock, arrived
in the city yesterday with news that a
most important discovery had been
made there during the past week. A
ledge of ore of unknown width was
opened up which is richer than any
thing yet discovered in Montana.
The Old Faithful was worked many
years ago, but was abandoned until re-
Gently, when New York company,
headed by Truston, took charge and be
gen work. A force of fifty mn had
been employed for some time with in
different results until last week, when
the rich body of ore was found.
The richness of the ore may be
judged from the fact that seventeen
ounces of che rock yielded quarter of
a pound of gold. The reports of won
derful strikes in the new May yfower
district have been confirmed by later
Investigations and developments. Old
mining men declare that it is the rich
est body of gold ore ever known in the
world.

Heavy Section of Wall Undermine

Heavy Section of a Wall Undermined
by Waves Collapsed.
New York, Sept 1O.-The Under
mining of the rear wall at the East
river end of Fifty-second street caused
about twenty feet of the street and
about 1 200 cubic feet of the wall, to
cave in and to topple over into the
the river with a crash that startled
the neighborhood for several blocks
around. At the very edge of the
enormous pit made by the cave in
stands the towering wall of cigarette
factory.
The roar of the landslide brought
hundreds of people to the scene, and it
was with great difficulty that the po.
lice kept the crowd from blindly rush
ing in upon dangerous ground to view
the wreckage. The wall which broke
away was about fifty feet from the
river bank to the level of the street
Its entire face, with the exception of a
narrow piece near the south sidewalk,
was washed away, and what did not
slip into the river was piled in con.
fused mass at the river edge.
Tons of earth and cobblestones fell
upon boathouse and two skiffs be-
longing to boatman, crushing them
like eggshells.

The platform adopted by the Nation
al Democratic convention was as fol-
lows: .a.
"This convention has assembled to
uphold the principles upon which de-
pend the honor and welfare of the
American people. in order that the
Democrats throughout the Union may
unite their patriotic efforts to avert
disaster from their country and ruin
from their party.
1.-THE Democratic party is pledged to
equal and exact justice to all men Of
every creed and condition; to the larg-
est freedom for individuals consistent
with good governments; to the preserva-
ton of the federal governemnt in its
constitutional vigor and to the support
of the states in all their just rights; to
economy in public expenditures; to the
maintenance of the public faith and
sound money, and it is opposed to pa
ternalism and all class legislation.
1.-THE declarations of the Chicago
convention attack individual freedom,
the right of private contract, the inde-
pendence of the judiciary and the au-
bAO11by "a GAO RECc1uCub w 0A4O4O0 oAO
federal laws. They advocate reckless
attempt to increase the price Of silver
by legislation, to the debasement of
of our monetary standard through un.
limited issues Of paper money by the
government. They abandon for Re-
publican allies the Democratic cause,
and tariff reform to court the favor Of
the protectionists to their fiscal heresy.
In view of those and other grave
departures from democratio principles,
we cannot support the candidates OF
that convention, nor be bound by its
acts. The Democratic party has sur
vived many defeats, but could not sur
vive victory won in behalf of the doo-
trine and policy proclaimed in its name
at Chicago.
'The conditions. however, which
make possible such utterances for the
national convention are the direct re-
suit of class legislation by the Repub-
lican party. 1t still proclaims, as il
has for years, the power and duty Of
the government to raise and maintain
prices by law, and it proposes no rem
edy for existing evils except oppressive
and unjust taxation.
"The national democracy, here con-
vened, therefore renews its declaration
Of faith in democratic principles es-
