OUR TICKET.

On the morning or the day after the
Chicago convention had hauled
down the old flag of Democ-
racy and run up the standard
of Populism in it's place, the
Globe called upon the Democrats Of
the nation to give us a platform and a
ticket free from the objections that lie
so vitality against the work done at
Chicago and at st. Louis. That appeal
has been answered bravely and nobly.
The platform we have discussed and
accepted elsewhere. The ticket placed
upon it is one that ought to stir to
admiration and enthusiasm every
Democrat in the party. For president
we have as candidate that splendid
old Roman, Senator Palmer, of Illi-
nois. Gen. Palmer Is a Democrat of the
old faith and the old school. He has
ity to party and all that it holds true
and good. He has demonstrated in
word and deed his nearness to the peo-
pie, his sympathy with the cause of

many against the few. No man lives
in all this country today with better
title to wear the name of Democrat
than he. And he, Notwithstanding his
persistent refusal, has been chosen
wisely to lead the ranks of those Dem
'ocrats who have not bowed the knee
to the silver image that has been set
up for them to worship.
No less sagacious or less worthily be-
slowed is the second honor, which falls
to Gen. Buckner. of Kentucky. He is
another man whose Democracy out
ranks that of the mushroom politicians
who have been foisted upon the party
this year, although not a twelve
month ago they were denying and re-
Wiling it. He belongs to the old Ken
lucky school, which does not know
how to desert principles or to wayer
In the presence Of an enemy. Not only
is he personally fitted for this place
and this distinction, but his selection
can distinguish the Indianapolis con-
yention as announcing to the nation
the Punishment and abolition of the old
sectional line. With all its alleged
generousness and freedom from tradi-
ton, the Chicago convention dared not
step over into the South for one of its
candidates, and neither did the Repub-
ncan party at ST. Louis. 1t remains

generation ago shall no longer make
and unmake men and ssues. Recog-

Numbering the deep loyalty with which
these people against whom we were
once arrayed now greet the flag of the
republic; noting that in all our land
there are today no more ardent de-
tenders Of the Union against internal
and external foes than they, we invite
them to share equally with others the
honors and responsibilities of the gov
eminent that stretches over us all.
Thus from a divided party there
comes an invitation to a reunited
republic. Generous, catholic, toler-
ant, broad-viewed In all their acts
and thoughts, as men were in
the earlier days, the delegates
to the National Democratic con-
veEtion have done wisely and well.
We are proud of our party, proud of

BIGGEST CRUSH BUT ONE.

Twelve ThOuSanO FeOple were
Shipped in Three Hours Last
Night
The union depot officials are destined to
get no rest this week. Wednesday, was the
eliminating day for the crush Of incoming
passengers, and yesterday, before the Officers
and employees in the depot had time to get
their breath, the crush Of departing guests be-
gan. There was crowd enough to keep TIE
gatekeepers busy all the afternoon, but at 6
o'clock the numbers had increased to a jam.
The depot was packed full. a dense crowd
filled the space in front Of the depot and ex-
tended up Sibley to Third street, and Third
itself was crowded pretty well as far up as
the Merchants hotel. And for a time the PEG
pie arrived by scores and hundreds-fastcr

O'Clock. For that hour a tram averaging az
least 500 people was sent away about once in
four minutes. At 8 o'clock the crowd was
gone, and the tired officials had time to draw
a long breath. The different roads had agents
present to assist In directing passengers 10
their proper trains, and it was scarcely possi-
Die TOT one to go wrong. The congestion IN
the depot was greatly relieved by stationins
agents in front, who directed those going over
the Milwaukee road around the depot on the
south side. while Great Northern passengers
were directed around the north side.
The railroads all had special trains made
up and in readiness for use IL needed. As
fast as one train was filled no attempt was
made to overcrowd 1t, but the passengers
were informed that another train would soon
leave, the loaded train was sent out and an
other Immediately took its place. The same
rlan will be pursued until all the people
have departed. The roads will run out a
train whenever there are enough people to fill
it. Nearly every road leading out OF the city
sent out at least one special. last night. and
some of them two or three.
Although the overworked officials would
have liked a breathing spell between the COM
ing and the going of the visitors, still II
is an advantage in one way that so many left
the city last night. 1t will relieve the pres

T1Ma FOR THE TRUTH.
An Appeal Addressed to the Daily New
York World.

York World,
Editor of the NeuU York World:
Wendell Phillips is said to have
prophesied that american bankers
would some day be hanged to lamp
posts in New York and Boston as IN
ceremoniousle as horse thieves had
ever been hanged in Texas" The World
is doing something just now to avert
that c~atastrophy, and might do a great
more if it would tell the whole truth
on the money question.
In 1862 Thadeus Stevens declared
that bankers and bullionists" were
scheming to double the debt" of the
civil war, and they did it. In January,
1878. Senator Voorhees, said that ''the
decentralization of silver was purposely
accomplished before the policy of
specie redemption was declared, in
order to make money as scarce as pos
sible in reaching by forced contraction
the single standard of gold" About
the same time John G. Carlisle stigma
tiz9d the characterization of silver as
"the most gigantic crime of this or any
other age" He described it as a ICON
spiracy," the consumation of which
would entail more misery upon the
human race than all the wars, p~estilence
and famine that ever occurred in the
history of the world"
Nearly the whole financial legisIa-
ton of this country during the last
thirty three years has been a plot
against the masses of the people to de-
spoil them of their property. The edi-
tor of the New York World, with it's
vast sources of information, cannot be
ignorant of what has taken place,
what is now going on, and what may
easily occur when seventy millions of
deceived, outraged and betrayed peo-
pie, shall become finally aroused to the
realities of the situation.
The gold raid upon the United States
Treasury is simply a new form of bri-
gandage and piracy. There is no rea-
son for it and no moral right in any way
pertaining to it. Robbers have pro-
cured the election of certain members
of their band to public Office, and these
men hand out the peoples wealth to
malefactors who share the spoil.

parties. We ought to do right or do
our best at least, though the heavens
fall. We are now standing on danger
GUS ground. We are in our incubating
state. If we are to become the ma
majority party in this country, it must
be by gathering strength from the two
old parties by convincing them that
we are right and that they r wrong.
We cannot do this by co operation or
fusion. To fuse or co operate with
either, if we are right and they are
wrong, will encourage the wrong and
defeat the right. AS the two old par
ties are now organized and controlled,
it is impossible for either to lift the
burden or restore prosperity. Both
have had their day in court and both
stumbled over the same stones which
the builders rejected and both fell into
the pit dug by the enemies of the hui
man family. To support either of the
old parties, or any member Of either
the old parties before he has severed
his connection. or removed his ale
glance thereto will be a crime against
liberty, against humanity, against the
religion of the Son of Man and God
Himself.
The gulf between the two old parties
and the Peoples party is impossible;
it is as wide as the earth and as deep
as the sea.
Let US stand as firm and immovable
as the mountains themselves. Oar
course is just. Our principles are
eternal. The religious thought of the
world is on our side. All right think
ing, honest men are on Jul side. ALI
the laboring people in the world will
be on our side as 500 as the scales
fall from their eyes.
Three fourths Of the voters of the
United States are on our side in sym,
pathy and will be in word and deeds
as soon as they can be made to see the
wrongs heaped upon them by the old
parties and their children as the sands
glide from the hour glass.
He is a poor Populist or Democrat,
or Republican, or citizen who will
not make any reasonable sacrifice to
save his country, or who would not
sever any party tie to restore silver
as money and prosperity to his coun-
try, or who would not give up all par
ties, sever all former ties, break all
bonds for the sake of restoring happi-
ness, contentment, peace, abundance,
gladness and prosperity to this our
common inheritance.

no law compelling a specific reserve,
much less a ''gold reserve" for the re-
demption of greenbacks. I suppose
the World know that the greenbacks
are not redeemable in gold, but are re
deemable in ''coin," silver or gold coin
at the ratio of 16 ounces of silver to
1 ounce of gold. 1 suppose the World
knows that in the whole history OF
bimetallism for thousands of years, a
debtor, whether nation o. individual,
has always had the option Of paying
a creditor in the accessible metal, and
that this one and only n way OF
maintaining the parity" has no excep-
ton on earth until the evil days of John
Sherman, Benjamin Harrison and
Grover Cleveland. Isuppose the World
knows there is no exception now, IN
France, Germany, or anywhere else
except in the one country that has
fallen into the hands of corruptionists
and traitors, the United States Of
America.
The World must know that the whole
practice of paying government obliga-
tions in gold is a fraud-a monstrous
crime for which Grover Cleveland
would be impeached in a week, if the
press would give facts instead Of false
hoods to the American people. About
two millions of voters-the derided
Populists-understand the matter.

will be permitted by it's stockholders
to do anything of the kind, or will eve

ever, will appear in a new and power
full paper edited by a Senator of the

by a thousand unsubsidized country

as a test of the New York Worlds real
integrity and patriotism, and in throw

ject that now involves the practical
salvation of all the Occidental nations
of mankind. Respectfully,
