Chosen to Head the National
4 Democratic Ticket.
DOMINATED AT INDIANAPOLIS
fwo white -Heaaed Veterans Of the War
Who Were Rival Commanders Of
the Blue and Gray.

John M. Palmer, Of Illinois. and
Simon Bolivar Buckner, Of Kentucky,
two white haired veterans Of the war,
rival commanders Of the blue and gray,
were nominated at indianapolis by the
National Democratic convention for
president and yice-president on a brief
but emphatic platform which repudi.

Chicago convention, indorses President
Cleveland and his administration in
glowing terms, declares for the gold
standard, tariff for revenue only. lib
sral shipping laws, currency reform,
civil service and economy in public ex
peditures.
The spirit that animated the coDven-
tion was contained in this declaration
Of the platform:
THE Democratic party has survived
may defeats, but 1t could not survive a
victory won in behalf Of the doctrine
and policy proclaimed in its name at
Chicago"
And 30, in the language of Mr.. Ham
mond, Of Georgia, this convention
placed in the hands Of other nominees
their banner and bade them fling it
forth, "skyward and seaward, high and

TIL newly organized gold-standard
or National Democratic party Of the
United States at their national con-
vention held in Indianapolis nominated
Senator John M. Palmer, Of Illinois,
to carry. the standard as its nominee for
the Office Of president. Senator Palmer
was nominated upon the first ballot. re-
ceiving 7671S votes out Of total OF
ssS. He was then declared the nomi-
nee of the convention by acclamstion.
General Buckner was nominated for
the office of vice president by acclama-
tion, after which the convention ad.

The Platform.

''This convention has assembled to
uphold the principles upon which de-
pend the honor and welfare of the
American people. in order that the
Democrats throughout the Union may
unite their patriotic efforts to avert
disaster from their country and ruin
from their party.
''The Democratic party is pledged to
equal and exact justice to all men of
every creed and condition; to the larg-
est freedom for individuals consistent
with good government; to the preserva-
tion Of the federal governemnt in its
constitutional vigor and to the support
OF the states in all their just rights; to
economy in public expenditures; to the
maintenance Of the public faith and
sound money, and IL is opposed to pa
ternalism and all class legislation.
THE declarations Of the Chicago
convention attack individual freedom.
the right Of private contract. the inde-
pendence Of the Judiciary and the au-
thority of the president TO enforce the
federal laws. They advocate reckless
attempt to increase the price Of silver
by legislation, to the debasement of
of our monetary standard through un-
limited issues of paper money by the
government. They abandon for Re-
publican allies the Democratic cause,
and tariff reform to court the favor of
the proteotionists to their fiscal heresy.
In view of those and other grave
departures from democratic principles,
we cannot support the candidates of
that convention, nor be bound by its
acts. The Democratic party has sur
vived many defeats, but could not sur.
vive victory won in behalf of the doc
trine and policy proclaimed in its name
at Chicago.
THE conditions, however, which
make possible such utterances for the
national convention are the direct re.
suit Of class legislation by the Repub-
lican party. 1t still proclaims, as it
has for years, the power and duty of
the government to raise and maintain
prices by law, and it proposes no rem
edy for existing evils except oppressive
and unjust taxation.
"The national democracy. here con.
vened, therefore renews its declaration
Of faith in democratic principles es-
pecially applicable to the conditions OF
the times. Taxation, tariff, excise or
direct, is rightfully imposed only for
public purposes. and not for private
gains. Its amount is Justly measured
by public expenditures, which should
