by the party throughout its existence.
Principles constitute an essential ele-
ment of a party's life, and if they are
abandoned the party ceases to exist
1T was. therefore. not within the
power of any majority OF the delegates
assembled at Chicago to bind the Dem
ocrats Of the United States to a plat
form inconsistent with the party's
original principles. or to any action
that should result in their surrender.
They proclaimed a sectional combina-
ton Of the South and West against
the North and East. They imPeaehed
the honesty and patriotism OF President
Cleveland, who under exceptional EN-
barrassments, produced by past errors
OF legislation. has heroically maintain
ed the honor and integrity OF the re-
public.
Against the protest Of more than
one-third of the delegates in attendance
they promulgated a platform at va
rance with the most essential prin-
ciples Of the Democratic party. This
platform is in its policies most dan
gerous to the welfare and life Of free
government. The platform proposes
to degrade the coin Of the United
states by means OF the free, unlimited
and Independent coinage of silver 6S
our government. and proposes to exer-
else the power of the nation to compel
an acceptance Of such deprecated coins
at more than their nominal value,
thereby working and injustice to cred
itors, and defrauding the currency by
an expulsion of gold from circulation.
"The Chicago platform having thus
departed from recognized Democratic
principles and promulgated doctrines
new and strange to Democracy, all
Democrats are absolved from any OBJ
legation to support its program. More
than this. as the doctrines announced
are destructive of the national honor
and private obligation, tend to create
sectional and class distinctions and
enter discord and strife among the
people, all good citizens of the re-
public are bound to repudiate them
and exact eevry lawful means to insure
the defeat of candidates who represent
those false doctrines"

HEADQUARTERS NEWS.

Washington, August 17.-At Republi-
can headquarters it was announced to-
day that extracts from Bryan's tariff
speech were being prepared for dis
tribution to show his strong free trade
leaning. Senator Sherman's speech of
August 80, 1894, explaining the "crime
of '7S," is also being prepared as a
document for distribution.
Senator Butler. Of North Carolina,
chairman of the Populist committee, Is
expected here tonight to meet the exec
utive committee tomorrow. The meet
ing of the committee tomorrow may be
quite stormy. as there is belief that
Watson and the middle-of-the-road
leaders are In the majority. There is
a possibility that the Populist head
quarters may be removed to Chicago.
The committee decided at st. Louis to
locate their headquarters here, but a
sentiment has grown up since then in
favor Of Chicago.

The camel is beast of great strength
and endurance. Nothing hurts it until
the proverbial last straw is added to
its burden. The human digestive sys-
tenn is very much like a camel. 1t is
really astonishing how much abuse it
will stand. Sometimes, however, some
thing worse than usual will be eaten,
and will go through the stomach into
the bowels. and there it will stick
that's constipation. Nine-tenths of all
human sickness is due to constipation.
Some of the simplest symptoms are
coated tongue and foul breath, dizzi-
ness, heartburn, flatulence, sallowness,
distress after eating, and lassitude. A
little thing will cause constipation. and
a little thing will relieve it. DR.. Pierce's
Pleasant Pellets are a certain cure
for constipation. They are tiny, sugar
coated granules, mild and natural in
their action. There is nothing injurious
about them. Sold by druggists.

Danville probably has the only bicycle
fiend i'll the shape OF ca in the United
States. 1t is n black cat = as black as the
hinges OF midnight and belongs to W. G.
Proctor. This cat enjoys q bicycle ride as
wellas any whcelman in America, andnever
misses an opportunity Of taking one. The
route is never too long and the pace never
too warm for him. The cat does not. to DE
sure, sit upon the saddle and do the pedal
ling, but it rides upon the shoulders of the
boys in the neighborhood. In the evening,
when the boys start out ON their spins, one
ofthem will place thiscat upon his shoulders
and there Tom will sit through the entire
journey, If permitted TO do so. The cat
never falls from its perch. Sometimes il is
partially disiodged by the boys i'll mounting
or by sudden turn or bump in tn. road
but its claws are ever ready to catch new
hold. When the cat sees one ofthe youngsters
starting out for rice it runs after him, and
If he does not offer to take it up Tom rubs
against his legs and ''meows' in a very
suppiicatiDg manner to be taken along.
The cat is about year old, a nd has been
a victim of the bicycle fever for several
months.

Prolonged cheering followed Some OF the
scenes and situations in THE Hand OF
Fate" played yesterday afternoon and
evening at the new Biiou Family Theater
Packed houses ruled at both performances
and enthusiasm was at fever heat.
The fact that Mr.. Miron Leffingwell, the
author or the play, is the leading actor, and
also that Suze, the principal female role,
is played by his wife, formerly Miss Effie
Darling OF this city, lent additional inter
est to the occasion.
The play is constructed upon popular lines
and is sensational enough to please the
most ardent devotee OF melodraua Its con
struction bears evidence OF Mr., Leffing-
wells experience and skill as player
and author.
The climax of the first act, where Mr.
Lefringwell, as the counterfeiter, Richard
Grafton, makes his escape by means OF
Sues devotion; the blizzard scene and the
attempt to kill SuZe's minister sweetheart
and the pathetic situation where the hero
Inc is driven from her home, are realistic
and exciting, even If Somewhat lurid.
The part of Sue, which was especial v
written for Miss Darling, is that OF girl
who has grown up in the mountains of Ten
neSSee, under the care of Dick Grafton, a
counterfeiter, who stole her for purposes
of revenge. Afterward it turns out that
she is the daughter of n Chicago million
aire, whose second wife makes strenuous
efforts to conceal the fact, in order that
she may possess herself OF all the proper
ty.
Miss Darling, as Suze, quickly established
herself in favor and the audience hung upon
her words with breathless interest. Siie
wen dressed man became SO excited that
several times he called out advice or aD.
proval for the heroine's guidance, and
seemed to feel that the stage happenings
were real.
The supporting company was good; those
deserving especial mention are Joseph H
Totten, Clara Douglass and Frank NJ
Kendrick. Next week "Blue Grass will
be played.
