pLATFoRM AND THE TICKET.

The democratic platform adopted by the Chicago convention is a complete re- sponse to the unmistakable demand of the people for a clean, clear cut bill of particulars as to what may be expected in future at the hands of the party that has always stood for the people and for the peoples rights. Every word and every line of it bristles with genuine old time democratic doctrine. It measures up fully to the demands of the mast ex- acting of those who have been speaking out for ringing declarations of what is really democratic doctrine. The nomina- tion of William J. Bryan of Nebraska was & most fortunate selection. He is within himself genuine democratic platform. With such a platform and such a leader the party can now enter the contest absolutely certain of vic- tory. Alabama will give the ticket 1OO,- 0O0 majority.

MIR. MCKINLEY WAS NOMINATED AT ST. LOUIS ON A PLATFORM WHICH DECLARES FOR THE MAIN TENANCE OF THE GOLD STANDARD UNTIL IT SHALL BE CHANGED INTO BIMETALLISM BY INTERNATIONAL AGREEMENT. MR. MCKINLEY WAS THE MOST POPULAR MAN AMONG THE REPUBLICANS, AND THREE MONTHS AGO EVERYBODY IN THE REPUBLICAN PARTY PROPHESIED HIS ELECTION. HOW IS TT TODAY? HE WHO USED TO BOAST THAT HE LOOKS LIKE NAPOLEON SHUD-, DERS TODAY WHEN HE THINKS THAT HE WAS NOMINATED ON THE ANNIVERSARY OF THE BATTLE OF WATERLOO. HE RANCHES THAT HE HEARS IN THE DISTANCE THE SOUND OF THE WAVES AS THEY BEAT ON THE LONELY SHORES OF ST. HELENA.-W. J. BRYAN.

WHY ARE MCKINLEY AND THE REPUBLICAN PARTY NO LONGER CONFIDENT OF SUCCESS? IT IS BECAUSE NO PRIVATE CHARAC- TER, HOWEVER PURE, NO PERSON AL POPULARITY, HOWEVER GREAT, CAN PROTECT FROM THE AVENGING WRATH OF AN INDIG- NANT PEOPLE. THE MAN WHO WOULD DECLARE THAT HE IS IN FAVOR OF POSTING THE GOLD STANDARD ON THIS PEOPLE, OR WHO IS WILLING TO SURRENDER THE RIGHT OF SELF-GOVERN- MENT AND TO PLACE LEGISLA- TIVE CONTROL IN THE HANDS OF FOREIGN POTENTATES AND POW FRS, CANNOT HOPE FOR AN ELEC- TON TO THE PRESIDENCY OF THE UNITED STATES.

Two Noted Astronomers to Make nR
Important Expedition.

Chicago, May 3-Slxty thousand dollars
has been expended on the construction
| and equipment OF. the great observatory
of two noted astronomers and their assist
ants will be devoted to what is expected to
prove the most important astronomical
expedition Of the century.
Percival Lowell of Boston has built an
observatory and great telescope and will
be one of the two principal scientific work
ers on The expedition. Dr. r. J. See of the
University of Chicago will be the other.
Both are scientists of renoWn. Their OPP
crations will begin in July from nova
bic observatory to be erected on the lofty
Mexican plateau near the City or Mexico
and will probably be continued in 1898
somewhere down in Peru.
The objects of the expedition are two
fold. Mr.. Lowell will study the planet
Mars in a systematical way that has sell
dom been pursued and DIR. See will search
the southern heavens for double stars,
in the hope of doing there what Burnham
of Chicago has done for the northern
skies.
The observatory will have one of the
most powerful telescopes in the world,
second only to the Lick and yet unmount-
ed Yerkes instruments, the most powerful
in the country. A 4-inCh lens has just
been finished by Alvin Clark, the tele-
scope maker of CambridgepOrt, Mass,
and in tests it was shown to be superior
to the 26-inch glass at the naval obserVa-
tory in Washington.
