Chicago platform it does not
favor a deprecated currency in order
to catch populists, it doesnot resist the
legal authority of the PRECEDENT TO sup
press riots and protect the properly of
the government, in order to entice
anarchists, nor does it threaten
the independence of the highest court
OF our land. 1t is plain statement of the
principles Of Democracy upon which
stood Jefferson and jackson, and Tilden
and Cleveland and hundreds Of thous-
ands Of democrats who love their party
because they love its principles.
Meh who are willing to surrender the
principles in which they have professed
to believe for years, at the bidding Of
some local political. boss, whose slaves
they are, or men who hold the execra-
BILE doctrine that whatever principle is
proclaimed by those who have been
regularly chosen to represent the party.
however opposed to the well established
doctrines of that party it may be, are
not the class of men who will cliug to
principle even though the party which
they love to support may have de, erted
it.
1t is not this class OF men who will
vote for Palmer and Buckner, Men
who are seeking political positions and
are willing to advocate any doctrine
which will render them popular with
the masses are not supporting Palmer
and Buckner. The class of men who
believe in an honest currency, who be-
lleye that the Chief Executive OF this
nation has the right to suppress riots
which are destroying the property Of
the government, who believe in main
tanning the dignity and authority Of the
highest court in the land, who believe
that all tariff taxes should be for revenue
only, who believe in strict cOnstruc-
ton of delegated power, who are OPP
posed to arraying one class against
another, who believe in an economical
administration Of the government and
who are willing to indorse the wise and
patriotic administration Of the present
Democratic President of the United
States, will take pride in casting their
votes for Palmer AMI Buckner on the 81
day Of November 1896.

1t really amusing to read the labor
ed efforts Of the recently converted sill
ve-ites TO show that the proceedings OF
the Chicago convention were regular
from the time the primaries were called
to the time that they bartefed their
principles for populistic votes. Accord
ing to their labored arguments, II the
Chicago convention had adopted the
republican platform and endorsed Nc
Kinley and Hobart, every democrat who
would not have voted the ticket woulc
have been bolter. Such chaffy non
sense is taken at its real value by the
trne democrats of Shenandoah.

Bolter, did you say: Who bolted the
principles of the Democratic party!
Who bartered Democratic principles for

MONEY WITHOUT WORK

| MIN u w III - 4 w OAsRs
The Baltimore 5 III thus edltOri
ally considers ono of tue Temarka
bic propositions advanced 10y Mr.
Bryan.
stu Que of the speeches delivered
in this city Saturday Dir. Bryan
said: OR opponents say that L
is not money we need, We have
enough of that now, bat what we
need to restore prosperity Is 10
open our factories instead Of our
mints My friends, it Is no use
t. open our factories until tue PEG
pie have money to buy what the
mills produce. The logical infer.
snce from this is that when the
IN nts are opened to the uulimited
coinage none, is to be distributed
free to every body. The new dol.
Lars would not be any easier to get
than the old ones If they had to be
worked Tor, 80 the natural infer
ence is that Mr.. Br, ans idea Is
that the mints are to be opened, so
as to provide people easily with
the MT dun OF exchange"
"Mr. Bryan tells his followers
that 1t is no use to provide employ
meut for labor until the people
have the money to buy goods aud
therefore, that the first thing to do
is TO set the minis RAINING to their
full capacity and coin plenty OF
money tor all hands. Well, that
very charming programme, but
If everybody is to get his money

the sense to see that the proper
thing to do to insure prosperity is
ito distribute your money among
your people first by means OF free
coinage and then buy thin. s
AZTEC ward. This is great scheme
aud it is u wonder that so ne other
nation haln'C tried it before this
year of extreme political grace
and wisdom. Mr.. BryaI ought to
get a patent gu this idna. All

psrily is open yOnr mints and coin

secondary Importance. 1t you
have got the dollars; you are all

That gallaut Confederate soldier, Col.
Charles T. O'Ferrall says: suppose
during the war majority of the con-
iederate army had determined to go
over to the enemy. Would the minority
have been bound to go with them?
Which would have been the "bOlters:"
Those who marched over and took their
position under the Stars and Stripes or
those who raised up the flag of the
South and remained musket in hand
under the Stars and Bars"

There is a great difference between
the man who selfishly bolts the action OF
a convention to gain position for him
self and the man who repudiates the ac-
ton Of convention that has deserted It's
party principles and endeavOr' to gam

Of another party.

The Bryanites say Palmer stole
negro during the war. The same charge
with equal consistency could be brought
against every man on the other side
fron Abraham Lincoln down to the
humblest private in the ranks. In fact,
they stole all the negroes and most CT
negroes were very glad to be stolen,
Such assertions are eXcusable when
made by men who rely upon personal
ISLANDERS for the success of their cause.

o how they boast Of the regularity OF
their proceedings They were regular.
We admit it. Their proceedings were
As regular As those of Benedict Arnold,
up to the time he left West Point.
Regularity will not cover up the crime OF
abandoning the grand old Democratic
ship and placing populists at the helm.

The mission Of the National Democrat

the principles Of the Democratic patty
as they have come down from the
fathers, The men who vote for Palmer

whose democracy is as pure as the

that inimitable Democratic platform
adopted at indianapolis. 1t is plat

TRIBUTE OF RESPECT.
The AbbeviIle Sunday School Notes

Last Sunday afternoon at the Methodist

ate remarks by Rev. DIR. Clifton, her pastor.
and Mr.. j. NJ. Gam5rell, her teacher, the fol-
lowing resolutions of respect to the memory
of Miss Leila Swearlngeu were adopted by
the school.
In the death OF Miss Leila Swearingen our
Sunday School has lost one of its most faith
ful and efficient members. Her short life was
Il combination ofsweetness and strengLh-the
typical life OF Il child of God. She had the
promise OF glorious and noble womanhood,
but God in his Infinite wisdom has claimed
her for his own. Therefore,
Resolved, That humbly submitting to bis
will we return thanks to him for the example
of her pure and useful life, and that we young
people pledge our lives anew to the Christ she
loved and served.
Resolved, That we extend our sympathy to
the bereaved family, and pray that God will
comfort, strengthen and sustain them until
called to join her in the "blessed beyond"
where there is no parting.
Resolved, That a copy Of these resolutions
be presented to the family and appear In our
church and city papers.
