General Clarke Withdraws.

That all was not harmony in the
mass convention Of the Dennis wing
Of the Democratic party held in Reno
ON "Wednesday is evidenced by the
card Of General Clarke published be-
low. The General has been one of
the staunchest adherents OF the
straight-onts ever since the party
split at Carson four years ago and his
turning down by his associates for
delegate to the National convention
has evidently made him wonder
where he is at. Parties; like repub-
lice, are ungrateful at times and this
should console the General. Follow
ing is his card declining the uomina-
ton for Presidential Elector:
RENO, New, June 10, 1896.
To s. s. Sears, Chairman Demo-
cratic State Central Committee-S1R:
Il respectfully, but peremptorily de-
cline the nomination Of Presidential
Elec6or to which / was chosen by the
Democratic Convention held at Reno,
June 10, 1896. My name was used
both as a delegate to the Chicago
Convention and Preside initial Elector
without my knowledge or consent.
l am willing to serve a united, but not
a divided Democracy.
Very Respectfully,
RoBT. M. CLARKE,

We denounce all societies, whether
secret or otherwise, which are organ
lied for the purpose of prescribing or
N any manner interfering with the
rights orlegal privileges of any re-
igious sect or denomination. The
Federal Constitution guarantees re-
hgions liberty to'all, and all attempts
to prescribe, discriminate. for or
against any religion or it's followers is
un-American, and in direct violation
OF the letter and spirit of our funda-
mental law.
We favor strict economy in the adj
ministration of our State Govern
ment, and we regard as the first and
most Important step in that direction,
a radical change in present cum
bersome and obstructive Constitution
We therefore favor the calling of a
Constitutional Convention for the
purpose of revising our fundamental
laws.
We believe that United States Sem
ators should be elected directly by
the people, instead of by State legis-
latures, and we favor an amendment
to the Federal Constitution to that
effect.

Democrats Not Harmonious.

Democrats Not Harm nious.
From the accounts published in the
Reno and Carson papers, harmony
did not reign in the Democratic con-
vention held in Reno on Wednesday.
The adoption of the report of the
Committee on permanent organiza-
ton precipitated the first fight. DR..
Gibson, the temporary chairman. had
notified the committee that he had to
attend a professional call and could
not serve as permanent chairman.
Acting on this, the Committee re-
ported in favor Of 8. S. Sears, for per-
manent chairman. When the report
came up to be acted upon, Gibson's
friends stated that the DR.. had mott
fled the committee later on that his
professional call was off and that he
could serve the convention. The fun
then began in earnest and. after con-
siderable bad feeling had Zen en-
gendered, the report was adopted.
The nomination Of General Clarke
as a delegate to the Chicago conven-
ton started another row. After much
talk, the General was defeated by a
vote Of % to 10 by Allen Fisher Of
Wells.
The platform adopted by the con-
vention is as follows:
The Democratic Party of the State
of Nevada, III mass convention assem-
bled.
RESOLVES, That having implicit faith
in the principles Of the Democratic
party and confidence in the integrity
of its leaders, we declare our fealty to
the former and our allegiance to the
organization as represented in Nation
al Convention.
We most heartily indorse the adj
ministration of President Grover
Cleveland in everything except its g.
nancial policy, and especially COM
mend it's upon the tariff ques-
ton, and it's courageous maintenance
of the principles set forth in that dec.
laration of American rights known as
the Monroe Doctrine.
We most emphatically declare for
the free and unlimited coinage and
use Of silver and gold as money at the
established ratio OF sixteen to one
without asking permission or waiting
for the cooperation Of any foreign gov
eminent, each to be receivable for all
public dues and to be a full legal ten
der in payment for all debts, public
and private. This result, we are con-
J hdent, can only be secured through
the direct fundamentally Of the Ma.
tional Democratic Party. Metallic
money has eve been a cardinal prin-
cipal of the Democracy. and with the
Democracy rests the only hope for the
restoration Of silver to it's former po-
sition in the currency volume of the
Nation, from which it wal displaced
by a Republican Congress and Presi-
dent in 1873.
We favor Home Rule everywhere,
and must %strenously Insist that it shall
prevail in the State Of Nevada. We
are opposed for public office in this
State, to every person who is not an
actual resident and bona fide inhabi-
tant of the State, and whose interests

The most beautiful spot in Muske-
gon is inseparably associated with
the name Of IIaclSley, and in all West
crn Michigan there is not name bet
ter known, and among the studious
and those interested in deeds of phil
anthropy, this name is known and adj
mired. Chas. II. HaclSley has been in
the lumber business continuously since
1856, and in that time has amassed q
fortune, which gives him q rating
among the wealthy men Of the ma
ton. But with wealth there did not
{ come that tightening of the parse
strings which is generally q marked
characteristic of wealthy men.
There is no prettier spot in the State
than Hackley Park in square sur
rounded and pierced by stone walls,
emphasizing with their Wilderness the
green of faultlessly kept lawns, its
browning pride q towering soldier S
monument on the top of which stands
a bronze figure pointing ever in re-
membrane of the heroes who died
that the nation might live. Surround
Ing this park are the magnificent
Hackley Public Library-a poem in
granite-with it's 10000 volumes, and
the equally stately Haclkley school,
like a beehive with it's 600 children.
Other elegant buildings testify like
wise to the !iberality and munificencc
of this man who has pulled wealth out
of the forests of Michigan.
1t is no wonder then that the name
of Charles II. Hackley is known at
home and abroad. His munificence to
Muskegon alone represents an outlay
of nearly half million. Tor the past
twenty years he has been a constant
sufferer from neuralgia and rheuma-
tism, also numbness of the lower
limbs, SO much SO that 1t has seriously
interfered with his pleasure in life.
For some time past his friends have
noticed that he has seemed to. grow
young again, and to have recovered
the health which he had in youth.
To correspondent of the Press, Mr..
Haclsley explained the secret of his
transformation. and to his friends
who have known how he suffered, it
is indeed a transformation. Il have
suffered for over twenty years." he
