THE TICKET OF DEMOCRACY.

Gen. John M Palmer, nominated for the
presidency by the honest money Democrats
at Indianapolis, and Simon Bolivar Buckner
named for the vice presidency, are both fight
ers without fear and each is immensely pop
ular In his own state.-Stillwater Messenger.
The nomination of Senator John M. Palmer
OF Illinois, for the presidency by the Demo-
cratic sound money convention at Indianapolis
places another candidate, another platform
and another issue before the people.-Toledo
Bee.
So the ticket is Palmer and Buckner. We
shall soon get the hang Of 1T, and the Chron-
icle has enlisted for the war. 1t now asks
of all men who want the Democratic party
to endure, that they will promise themselves
to cast a ballot for the Palmer and Buckner
electors the Sd of November next-La
Crosse Chronicle.
There seems to be strong sentiment in
favor of this straight Democracy in the
South, where the Bryan forces thought they
had strong hold.--Madelia Times.
John M. Palmer, of Illinois. was yesterday
nominated for president by the National
Democratic party, In session at Indianapolis.
Simon Bolivar Buckner. Of Kentucky, was
selected as the candidate for vice president.
Both are veterans with white hair and were
rival commanders during the late war, one
with the blue, the other with the gray. They
were nominated on a platform that repudi-
ates the doctrines brought forth by the Chi
Cleveland and his administration in glowing
terms, declare for tariff for revenue only,
liberal shipping laws, reform of currency,
civil service and economy in expenditures
for public benefit. and the gold standard.
These Democrats who love their country
could not afford to accept victory on
platform which sanctioned and advocated
pudiation Of the country's credit and honor
Saltwater Gazette.
The gold Democrats nominated Senator J.
NJ Dol Gov nd Gov
Buckner for vice president and two good
men go forth to the slaughter for the good
of their country and for the preservation of
Jeffersonian Democracy, as they it
Rothsay Record.
The new Democracy which captured the
Chicago convention, and nominated free
silver candidate for the presidency will prob
ably not feel so jubilant at the action Of the
Indianapolis convention as they were directly
after what they termed their victory at Chi
cago. John M. Palmer, of Illinois, is pop
ular figure in old-line Democracy, and his
nomination means the support Of large
element Of the Democratic party. 1t means
that in the Central and some of the Southern
states, whatever chances Bryan may have
had. have gone glimmering. Mr.. Palmer
cannot be elected, but his candidacy will
effectively put to rout the element of Democ-
racy which dominated the Chicago conyen-
tion.-Bismarck Tribune.
Democrats who cannot violate their con-
sciences by voting for the Popocratic ticket
nominated at Chicago and the platform here's
les which the candidates stand, and who
are too strongly partisan to support McKin-
ley have now a ticket which they can rally
around with self satisfaction il not with
enthusiasm. Gen. Palmer and Gen. Buckner
are both Democrats of the strictest sect and
each is, alike personally and politically, all
that q Democratic candidate for SO exalted
position ought to be-Winona Republican
The convention of sound money Democrats
at Indianapolis seems to have been all that
was claimed by the promoters. More than
forty states were represented, and over 500
delegates were present. This shows at once
that it was in no sense sectional and does
away with that charge the part of the
Popecrats. Moreover, it was a gathering in
spired wholly by patriotic purposes.-Mankato
Free Press
The action of the Indianapolis Democratic
convention, which on yesterday placed in nom
ination Senator John NJ Palmer, of Illinois,
and Ex-Governor Simon Bolivar Buckner, of
Kentucky, for president and vice president,
was strong in emphasizing its contempt for
the Chicago platform adopted by the free sill
wing of the party. The Indianapolis
meeting attended by many of the most
prominent in the Democratic party
those who had borne it's burdens for the past
thirty years. 1t was meeting Of the true
representatives Of the party. While it is not
possible for the ticket to gain an election, the
convention placed its stamp of disapproval
upon the Chicago wing in absorbing all the
ideas of Populism which are looked upon as
revolutionary and in direct opposition to the
best interests Of the government.-Duluth
NewS-Tribune.
The sound money law and order democ-
racy have now candidate for the presidency
for whom they vote conseientiously and
with pride.
AS far as the effect of Palmefs eandi-
dacy is concerned, he will probably poll as
many votes in the country generally as any
man whom the convention could have nomi-
mated, while in Illinois his candidacy very
much diminishes Bryan's chances of securing
the electoral vote of the state.-Superior
Leader.
Gen. Palmer Is seventy nine years old !;
Candidate Bryan thirty-six, and If Bryan
lives to be as old Senator Palmer he will
not be any nearer the presidential chair than
the venerable candidate of ene Indianapolis
Observation-Disclosures.
The silver Democrats proclaim the nomi-
nation Of Palmer and Buckner to be good
ties will not be begrudged any consolation
they may derive from it. They are certainly
in need of all the encouragement they can
get, for Bryan stock is certainly going down.
Bismarck Tribune
At last there is a National Democratic
ticket in the field, and it's personnel is
Palmer and Buckner. 1t was a tri1e slow
coming, but 1t is here and all must admit
the ticket headed by Populistic Bryan and
tailed by Sewall, of Maine. Palmer is going
to be beaten but it can never be said of him
that he talked himself to defeat by making
Populistic appeals for Democratic votes.-
