Mr.. Hewitt on the question.

Indianapolis, Ind, Aug. A-The plat
form of the national democratic party is
in course of formation. Chairman Bynum
Of the executive committee has a stack
of letters from some of the most promi-
nent democrats of the country, making
suggestions on this subject, and some of
them have forwarded complete drafts of
platforms embodying their views. These
he will turn over to the resolution COM
mittee, to be appointed by the convention,
in order that it might have the benefit of
them in drawing up the platform.
In a letter concerning this subject, the
venerable Abram S. Hewitt, ex-mayor and
congressman of New York, expressed
himself thus:
My views are substantially that there
Is to be but one issue to be presented to
the people of the United States. The
democratic convention at Chicago made
a distinct declaration of war upon the
constitution of the United States, the is
sue therefore, is not financial order re-
newed, but 1t concerns the perpetuation
of republican institutions. In the pres
ence Of this issue, all other questions sink
into insigndfcance just as they did when
civil war threatened the existence of the
government. l think, therefore, that the
constitution should be made the promi-
nent if not the sole topic of the consider
alton of the convention 1t seems to me
II the people can be made to see that the
bulwark of their liberty is assailed, in it's
most vulnerable point and that the over
throw Of the constitution will lead first
TO anarchy and then to despotism IN or
der TO save the social order, the response
will be to make impossible for the enc
mics Of the constitution to make any
