Platform Strongly Approved.

The convention made the consideration
of the platform an opportunity for speech
making. P. G. Lowe, of Leavenworth led
oil. He pronounced the platform one of
the best he had ever heard. and said it
was worthy of any national convention
which had ever been held:
w. H. Rossington, of Topeka, held the
convention for twenty minutes in an earn
est speech. He declared that the triumph
OF the principles represented by W. ]. Bry-
an and the Chicago platform meant the
destruction of free institutions and the es-
tablishment Of the tyranny of the mob.
Four years ago.. the Democratic party Of
Kansas well nigh effaced itself by espous-
ing the revolutionary cause of Pop,ilism
To-day the national party appeared to be
pursuing the same reckless course and
Democratic history would applaud the men
who were now trying to apply a restrain
ing hand.
z. f. ,Hutchings said that he had not
written tine platform. which came from his
committee, but that he indorsed it word
for word.

said. to see this large gathering of the

form, we are unrtterably opposed; and we
denounee the refusal of the convention 10
indorse the able Democrat and statesman,

ITO the Democratic brethren who do not
see their way clear to unite with US We
have no words except of fraternal affec-
ton and of regret that all Democrats cam
not see Their duty alike. We are anxious
to avoid any division that can poss bly, be
avoided. We believe that the vast ma
jority of the Democrats of America, after
this canvass is over. will agree with us
and will uaite with us in the preserva-
ton OF the true Democratic party; and so
far as we are concerned, We shall con-
duct the pending canvass with respect to
those who disa gree with u.s. with affection
for our brother Democrats who cannot
unite with us. and by our action We will
have a Democratic party in which our
brethren, finding fusion with Republicans
and Populists to be only disastrous, viii
have home where they can adhere to
Democratic faith and a party based upon
Democratic principles"

Government Ownership.

1--WE do not believe it is wise or Demo-
cratic to take any steps looking toward
railroads and telegraph lines. The NOM
ination of Bryan on the platform adopted
by the Populist convention at st. Louis
and the declaration of that platform in
favor OF the ownership of railroad and tel
egraph lines, and the ambiguous declara-
ton of the Chicago convention in favor of
a fuller control of railroads by the general
government cannot be construed as any
thing less than a commfttal of the Demo-
cratic party and Of Mr.. Bryan to a policy
which looks in the direction of the ultimate
troll of the railroads and telegraph lines
of America. We refuse to go in that di-
rection. or to aid in the election of any
candidate whose public declarations, and
in number and character. commit him to
the underlying principles upon which such
governmental control can be defended.
"The independence of the judiciary is the
