ed draft of platform submitted by Wal
lace McFarlane
The convention did not meet at 8
o'clock. but waited till the committee on
resolutions had finished it's deliberations.
In the meantime the delegates had as
sembled in the hall, and everything was
in readiness for the convention to proceed
as soon as the committee on resolutions
came in.
At 3:42 Temporary Chairman Griffin
called the convention to order and stated
that while they were awaiting the re-
ports of the committees Dr. William Ev-
erett of Quincy, Mass, would address the
delegates
DR.. Everett has served his party in
congress and when introduced said that
massachusetts, stood shoulder to shoulder
with New York for honest money. hon.
est politics and united union.
DR.. Everett's reference to New York's
great president-Groyer Cleveland
aroused the greatest enthusiasm and the
delegates waved their hats and cheered
vociferously
Chairman Sutro of the committee on
permanent organization submitted his
report, naming Charles s. Fairchild as
permanent chairman of the convention
and the four delegates at large and their
alte1nates, together with the permanent
secretaries. This report was adopted.
Gen.. Charles Tracy of Albany and
Theodore Sutro of New York city were
appointed a committee to escort Mr..
Fairchild to the platform. Mr. Fairchild
was warmly received by the delegates.
Mr.. Fairchilds announcement of the in
tention of the Buffalo democratic con-
vention to indorse the Chicago nominees
in order to preserve the regularity of
their organization was enthusiastically
commended. His declaration that true
patriots should save the Chicago leaders
from their own unWise declaration was
likewise well received.
The committee on credentials reported
that there were no contests. The report
was adopted. Mr.. Fairchild, who was
chairman of the resolutions committee,
then presented the platform, which was
read and adopted unanimously with fire.
quent enthusiastic outbursts of ap-
prevail:
1t repudates the Chicago platform and
'its supplement, the populist platform
adopted at st. Louis, because both vio-
late and attack all these democratic
principles"
1t also repudiates the nominations of
the Chicago convention. Its candidate
for president stands as much upon the
populist platform, with its demand for
unlimited paper money, distributed direct
to the people, and it's socialistic and anti
American demands for the extension of
paternal government, as he does upon
the platform adopted at Chicago. He
actively sought the populist nomination.
Having obtained it he has never rejected
it and he has never repudiated the
declarations of the populist platform"
More than all, it "deplores the outburst
of sectional hate which attended the
Chicago platform and the detestable at
tempt to divide democratic people"
Electors at large and delegates to
Indianapolis were selected. Among
the latter are Patrick J. Glea-
son, Horatio c. King, Perry Belmont,
Theodore Sutro John d. Warner, John r..
Fellows, Oscar s. Strauss, Charles r.
Miller and Simon Stern.

bricks without straw. l want to say to
you, my friends, that no system, no poll
cy, has been contrived by the mind of

masses make brick without straw as the
gold standard. (Cheers.) And I want to
suggest to you that the man who goes
to the financiers and syndicates to secure
their aid in restoring policy that is
good for the American people goes on a
FOOLS errand. 1 thank you."
AS Mr.. Bryan bowed his thanks some
one in the crowd called for "three cheers

SUICIDES GET NO BENEFITS.
Resolution introduced in the Pythan Conclavt
Which Elcits Red Hot Discussion, but
May Be Adopted.

Cleveland, O., Aug. 31.-At the morning
session of the supreme lodge of the
knights of Pythias resolution was in
troduced prohibiting the payment of
death benefits to suicides, whether the
victim be sane or insane or whether the
self-destruction be brought about by de-
lirium tremens, dependency, narcotics
or opiates. If the deed is done within a
period of five years after his reception
into the order the suicides heirs do not
get cent. A move is on foot to cut the
time down to one year. The resolution
will elicit red hot discussion, but will
probably be adopted.

To Property Owners of Texarkana

There has been several thousand
dollars expended in concrete and
cement pavements in our city, and
not in a single instance has the
work stood the test, but has pulled
off or cracked.
We are now laying pavement in
front Of the store occupied by Mrs.
E. f. F)rrdns Millinery store, that
we call particular attention to.
We use the same method by
which all the walks were put down
by the United States government
at Hot Springs, Ark, as well as
the city walks used at Little Rock.
1t cost no more to have good work
done in the beginning as bad work in
the end; but it pays to have it done
right and permanent.
We guarantee all work not to
crack, crumble or to blister, and as
we live here, we can make our
guarantee good Don't be in a hurry
to make contracts, let the different
work speak for itself.

but will henceforth devote his time
to the practice Of his profession.
Mr. Turner has made Texarkana a
good mayor and stood a reason
ably good chance of being re. cleo

but the explanation he offers as to
his withdrawal is a sufficient one to
his friends. Mr.. Turner enjoys a
large practice here and his time
will now be devoted exclusively to
the same.

Cotton History.
the s5lmt

The first planting of cotton seed
in the colonies was in the Carolinas
in the year 1921, when seeds were
planted as an experiment in gar
den. Winthrop says that in 1884
"men fell to the manufacture of
cotton, whereof we have great
stores from Barbados. In 1876 it
was cultivated in the gardens along
Chesapeake bay, especially in the
vicinity of Baltimore, and at the
opening of the revolution it was a
garden plant in New Jersey and
New York, but its real value seems
to have been almost unknown up to
about 10 years ago.-Shreveport

ANSWER TO YOUR NAME.
Matters of Vital Importance to be Put
Before the City Council Tonight.


Tonight there will be a meeting
of the East side city council and 1t
Is expected that every member OF
the board will be in his place and
answer to his name, as there is to
be an ordinance introduced con
demning the present crossing Of the
Iron Mountain railroad At the COL
.lege Hill crossing, and an ordinance
passed for a tunnel at the point
where the road now crosses.
This means much to our city, or
at least that part of it lying south
of the Iron Mountain railroad track.
There have been several people
killed or injurned at this crossing,
and many vehicles broken up, and
this can all be stopped by a tunnel,
which can be easily made and main
tanned, at half the cost the cross
ing now takes to keep it in repair.
We believe the Iron Mountain rail-
road management will be anxious
for the change, and have it made
on the first intimation that the
citizens desire it. Let the alder
men come out and vote the or
dinance, and then see to its enforce
ment if it is defed after its passage.

he would like to connect with the
service. The other evening a law
yer locked up his Office in the "Bluh

got a bag of apples he had pur-
chased for his wife, and returned

A Constant Visitor.

Plain is a constant visitor of per-
sons troubled with chronic rheu-
matism. This unwelcome guest will,
however, take its departure, and
not renew his visits il a writ of
electment is served upon it through
the agency of Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters, the most efficient blood
depurent and anodyne to rheu
matte twinges known to medical
science. No testimony in its be
half is more positive and conclusive
than that which proves its efficacy
in rheumatic complaints. 1t is also
conspicuously efficacious for ma
larial, nervous bilious, dyspeptic
and kidney disorders. 1t promotes
appetite and sleep, and IS parti-
cularly useful to ingalids recovering
from exhaustion maladies. Persons
past the prime of life, and those
suffering from lack of vital
stamina, find it highly beneficial.
Give it a persistent trial. No
medicine used spasmodically, and
at irregular times, can be expected
to achieve lasting results.
