oil the visitors to venture forth from
their church headquarters and tents
betwrrn services nn short visits to
see the sights of the city. which they
had been prevented from reaching be-
fore Il plOtrarted spell of bad weather.

scented to the Convention.
Chicago, July 9.--Folowins Is the plat
form prepared by the committee on reso-
lutions and presented to the convention:
We, the Democrats OF the United States
in national convention assembled, do re-
affirm our allegiance TO those great essen
tial r. .incinles of Justice and liberty upon
which our institutions are founded, ana
which the Democratic party has advocated
from Jcfferson's time to our own-1reedom
of tDeech, freedom OF the press. freedom
OF conscience. the preservation OF personal
rights, the equality OF all citizens before
the laws, and the faithful observance OF
con. .titutional limitations.
During all these years the Democratic
party has resisted the tend.acy OF selfish
interest to the ccntrnlizat. ~ Il COVER nmcn-
tai power and steadfastly maintained the
integrity OF the dual scheme OF govern
ment established by the founders of this
republic OF republics. Under its guidance
and teachings the great principle OF local
self government has found its best express.
sion in the maintenance Of the rights "t
state and in Its assertion Of necessity OF
confining the general government to the
exercise Of powers granted by the consa-
tuition OF the United States.
Recognizing that the money system Is par
amount to all others ut this time, we IN
vite attention to the fact that the federal
constitution names silver anu soiu totseahSA
as the money metals of the United States
and that the first coinage law passed by
congress under the constitution made the
silver dollar the monetary unit and admitted
gold to free coinage at ratio based upon
the silver dollar unit.
We declare that the act of 1873 demone'
tizing silver without the knowledge or ap.
proval Of the American people has resulted
In the appreciation Of gold and CORE
spending fall in the prices OF commodities
produced by the people; heavy increase In
the burden OF taxation and OF all DEBTS
public and private; the enrichment OF the
money-lendlng class at home and abroad |;
prost ration Of industry and impoverishment
Of the people.
We are lnaltcrably opposed to monomet-
ailism. which has locked fast the prosperity
OF an Industrial people In the paralysis OF
hard times. Gold monometallism Is Brit
isll policy and its adoption has brought
other nations into financial servitude TO
London. 1t Is not only unamerican, nut
anti-Aperican. and 1t can be fastened on
the United States only by the sitting OF
that spirit and love Of liberty which pro-
claimed out political !ndePendenee In ITO.

Dy Nominating Teller They Hope to
Defeat Mckinley.
st. Louis, July 14.-The impression
seems to he strong among local POpu-
lists that if the Democratic ticket
made at Chicago is endorsed by the
pOpuliSt national convention on the
I'D inst. it will only be after hard
fight.
"Tcllcr is still our man." said well
known Fopulist and silver party man,
';lnd watch what tell you, we will
nominate him. We figure it is hest for
the silver cause to nominate Teller.
He can carry the silver Republican
states and can secure more electoral
votes than Bryan. Bryan will carry
the silver Democratic states, and be-
tween Teller and Bryan. we count on
securing enough electoral votes to
prevent Mcliinley's election. If this
can he DONE the electoral votes for
silver will go together and will select
Teller or Bryan for president. This
is the latest plal Of the Populists."
