Doubtful Delegates.
ST. LOUIS, June 16.-Lodge said today ::
"There's no doubt that the gold plank

into their ears. They have detailed
list of men whose conversation may be
possible and aIe training all their guns
on these waverIng people.
To DR.. Courtency, young negro Har-

Reservoir in the Mountains Near Baker
City. Breaks.
BAKER CITY, June 16.-Last night,
about midnight, the Goodrich reservoir,
15 miles from this city, broke, and a
great volume of water rushed down the
gulch about four miles, where it jumped
from Goodrich creek to Pine creek.
About three miles further the food
struck R. French's house and dashed it
to pieces, drowning the family, consist
ing of the parents and five children, ages
ranging from 8 to IL years. The bodies
were found scattered along the creek a
distance of two miles. The clothing was
torn off and the bodies mangled. Large
pine trees were carried miles down the
stream and fences and bridges we're
swept away. Grain fields are badly
damaged.
The reservoir was constructed in 1868
by the Auburn Canal Company, and
been used since for mining purposes.

A WISE PLATFORM.

The platform which it is gener-
ally considered will be adopted by
the st. Louis convention, is one of
the strongest that could emanate
from that deliberative body. The
convention will do wisely if it change
limo particular the report as made out
by the subcommittee. The pros
pective platform indicts the present
Democratic administration in the
severest language-though none too
harsh1y-and reaffirms the belief of
the country in a wise and equable
tariff policy such as we have not
been having the last three years.
This was to be expected, and causes
but ordinary comment throughout
the country.
Concerning the action of the con
vention upon the currency question
there has been anxiety throughout
the land. This is set at rest most
satisfactorily by the outspoken dec
laration in favor of the present gold
standard. The silver men have
learned that common sense rules the
day, and that the teachings of his
tory and experience have not been
thrown to the winds. The financial
7olorIz ]aoIoros ooroipS+ +bo f,ao oo;,,
age of silver, save by international
agreement, ard pledges the Repub-
ican party to maintain the gold
standard.
The Republican party has been a
friend TO silver, and will remain so.
The country is now carrying as
large silver circulation as is com
patible with maintaining the parity
between the metals. What the
country needs is a resi-. It needs to
have the tariff and financial ques-
.tlons settled once and for all and
allow the business interests to be ad-
Justed 10 the existing circumstances.
The tariff issue has been settled in
favor of protection, but the cost has
been terrible. Ruined Industries,
shrunken securities, dwindling values
all over the land represent what it
has cost TO trifie with economic laws
and test the Democratic policy of
free trade.
The country will be fortunate in
deed if it can place its finances on
wise and enduring basis without
paying a price SO dear. From the
attitude taken by the Republican
party and the expectant victory in
November, this bids fair to be ac-
complished.
