A LETTER has been issued in Phila-
delphia by the American Anti-Vivi-
section of Pennsylvania, appealing to
the public not to circulate sensational
stories about alleged mad dogs and the
terrible results of people bitten by
them. Such accounts, it states, fright
en- people into nervous disorders, and
yet there is upon record a great mass
of testimony from physicians asserting
the extreme rarity of hydrophobia,
even in tie dog. The letter quotes q
number of prominent physicians in
support of the theory that practically
there is no such affliction to mankind
as hydrophobia.

platform as agreed to by the sub-com-

committee tomorrow. 1t is thought that
few if any modifica tons will be made
before the resolutions are presented TO
the convention, although planks favor
ing the Monroe doctrine and recognizing
Cuban belligerency are proposed. The
minority will, of course, present re-
port, taking ground against the free
coinage Of silver:
1--WE, the Democrats of the United
States, in national convention assem5l-
ed, do reafiirm our allegiance to those
great essential principles of jusctice and
liberty upon which our institutions are
founded and which the Democratic par
tv has mainta ined from, Jefferson time
to OUR own--freedom OF speech, free
dom Of the press, freedom of conscience,
the preservation of personal rights, the
equality Of all citizens before the law.
and the faithful observance of constl-
tutional limitations.
Recognizing that the money question
is paramount to all others at this time.
we invie attentian to the fact that the
federan constitution names silver and
gold as the money metals Of the United
States and that the first coinage law
passed by congress under. the conetitu-
ton made the silver dollar the unit OF
value and admitted gold TO free coinage
at ratio measured by the silver dollar
unit.
I'VE declare that the act of 1873 de
monetizing silver without the knowi'
edge or approval Of tine American PEG.
