A Financial Platform on Which All De-
mocrats Can Agree.

TO the Editor:-It will be conceded
by all rational men whether they are
in favor of or opposed to free coinage
of silver( that the action of the COM
ing Chicago convention on the cur
rency question cannot be foretold. 1t
is also patent that the Democratic
narty is suffering for a common
ground of unity at home as well as
abroad; this need of a better under
standing among ourselves, painful as
it is, was accentuated by the recent
nomination of a candidate for Gov
ernor, who fails to command the re-
spect or allegiance of his own party
and the prospect of whose election IS
fTaught with danger and forebOdings
of disaster. In the disgraceful Re-
publican convention lately held at
Raleigh, which was a travesty on free
institutions and government by an
enlightened people, is to be found
abundant cause for every true citizen
who cares for a clean. efficient and
economical administration Of affairs,
and whose heart beats high with
honor and self-respect to stand Shout
der to shoulder fighting for those
essary to prosperity. No further ar
gument should be required to cause
every voter of Democratic antecedents
and every other lover of his State to
join a solid phalanX to redeem the
Commonwealth and crush the force Of
misrule.
TO return to the currency question,
if the different elements cannot be
brought into entire accord, yet every
approach to unity strengthens the
party and helps to insure success.
While the writer feels that he could
not change his views without sacrifice
of principle and believes those of OPP
posite opinions to be just as honest
and earnest in the sentiments they
entertain, without going into the
merits of the case either for or against
free coinage, still no one will deny
that the essential elements of cur
rency equal to all demands are safety,
elasticity and an adequate Sufficient
supply, ready on call at local banks.
Whether free coinage of silver would
or would not afford such a currency
will not be discussed here, but for a
reform of the currency that would
divorce the National government from
the banking business, retire green
backs to make room for notes of pri-
vate institutions under proper super
vision, together with the repeal of the
10 per cent. tax. New York and sew
eral other States would be easily
Democratic and victory be assured.
The above is respectfully submitted
for the consideration of every good
Democrat; it is attainable at the Ma
tional convention. while an endorse
r,ert If silver or plcdrc fornring
the gold standard is uncertain; it
means certain triumph in November,
while the pursuit of any other course
leaves the result involved in doubt;
it closes the gap, presenting an I'M
broken front to the enemy, while 1T
admits of each individual holding his
own opinion without his standing in
the party being challenged; finally, it
concerns every one to exert himself
to the utmost to secure that currency
which will bring quickest relief and
afford sure basis of prosperity for
the future.

Medical Discovery makes rich, red blood.
1t makes health in the right way. 1t works
according TO the right theory, and in 90
years of practice, it has proved that the
theory Is absolutely correct. 1t begins at
the beginning-begins by putting the stonl-
ach, liver and bowels into perfect order, but
1t begins its good work on the blood before
1t finishes with the digestive system. 1t
searches out disease germs wherever they
may be and forces them out of the body.
It promotes the copious secretion of the
digestive fluids, and assists in throwing off
refuse matter. 1t makes the appetite good
and the digestion strong. 1t isn't violent
medicine. It isn't strong medicine. 1t
does nothing but good to. every portion of
the body. 1t doesn't do harm in one place
while It IS helping another place. It is
meant to help the whole body and it does
help 1t. Whenever man feels himself fail
ing in health, when he feels that he is get
ting old too fast, that his vitality is low, and
that he is losing flesh he should waste no
time in getting the Golden Medical Dis
covery." 1t will build up quicker than
anything else in the world. It will give him
rich blood and solid flesh. 1t will make
him feel half as old and twice as strong.

CARSON, NEy., Aug. 5.-Republicans of
Carson held a rousing rally last night.
Supreme Judge Bigelow delivered what
was probably the best financial speech ever
made in Nevada. He was followed by ex-
Secretary 0. H. Grey, Ex-Governor Col
cord and others. A National Republican
Club was formed, pledged to support the
candidates nominated by the Republican
Convention. Z. D. Vanderleits, secretary
of the committee on organization, gave a
report which strongly supports the st.
Louis platform, and says in part:
The charge that we are inconsistent in SUP
porting the Republican candidates for Presi-
dent and Vice-President and indorsing the
National Republican platform is not well
founded. While we still proclaim our deyo-
tion to the cause of silver, we believe a ma
jority should rule and are willing to accept
for the time being the doctrine of in ternational
bimetallism, TO which our party pledges its
support and which, from our point of view, is
far less inconsistent than the actions of apos-
tate Republicans in not only accepting, but
adopting platform which declares Tor tariff
for revenue without protection, and in sup
porting a Presidential candidate who declares
himself an absolute tree-trader.

NEW YORK, N. Y, Aug. 5.-Mrs. F.
G. Abbey has brought an action for legal
separation from her husband, Henry E..
Abbey of Abbey, Schoeffel & Grau, the
theatrical managers. The ground Of CON-
plant is cruelty and abandonment. Papers

alimony and $50 counsel fee.
In the complaint, which was filed in the
Supreme Court, Mrs. Abbey declares that
her husband abandoned her on April Is,
1896. She says that he left her in destitute
circumstances and has not since contrib
uted to her support. The business of Alb
bey, Scnoeffel & Grau is. to be continued,
she declares, and her husband gets sal
ary of $40, 900 year, from which he should
be able to contribute to her support.

Gerard, and was well known in theatrical
circles, She married Mr.. Abbey in No

didates for Congressman at large. 1t is
probable that committee will be selected
to confer with the Democrats, and that in
the end the Populists will vote for Bryan
and Sewall electors, with the understand.
ing that if elected the electors will treat
Watson fairly.
This afternoon the platform committee
made it's report. 1t was ordered that fu-
sion with the Democratic Presidential
electors be brought about if possible, but
II the Populist advances are rejected the
executive committee is to select men to
run for Bryan and Watson. The initiative
and referendum are demanded. The cur
rency plank condemns the repeal OF the
Sherman act without the substitution Of a
free-coinage law, and asserts the panic OF
1888 was brought about by conspiracy OF
bankers to force the repeal OF the Sher-
man act and the issue of bonds. The final
clause declares that if the Democrats de-
sire the support of the Populists they
must get rid of the traitors to free silver
among the leaders of the party.
J. Z. Altman of Juniata County and J.
T. Correll, editor of the Easton Call. were
named for Congressman at large after a
motion to fuse with the Democrats on one
candidate had been rejected.
J. E. Leslie of McKeesport was unani-
mously selected State chairman. The
executive committee will select the elec-
toral candidates. The convention then
adjourned.

GALVESTON, Tex, Aug. 5.-The better
portion of the day was spent by the Popu-
list State Convention listening to addresses
by "Stump" Ashby, Melvin Wade, "Cy-
clone" Davis and other prominent speak
ers of the Populist campaign.
The temporary organization was not
perfected until nearly noon, and the cre-
dentials committee required so much
time to attend to the affairs that came be-
fore it that the convention spent the after
noon listening to the orators.
At P. NJ. the credentials committee
sent word to the temporary chairman, Mr..
Burnett of Kerr County, thar it would be
unable to report until P. NJ, and an ad-
iournment was taken till then.
Two hours of the night session were
taken up in fight over the adoption OF
the report of the committee on order OF
business. The platform will not be
reached before to- morrow.
The platform as prepared by the com
mittee passes over the St. Louis conven-
ton without reference to the candidates,
the platform adopted there being merely
Endorsed. At late hour tonight the con-
vention was still wrangling over the report
of the committee on order of business.

HASLIN, NEBR., Aug. 5.-The morning
session of the Populist convention held
here to-day was devoted to the selection of
temporary officers and the usual commit
tees.
temporary chairman and +. E. Eyer as
secretary. There were no contesting dele
cations.
At the afternoon session, after the COM
mittee on rules and order of business had
reported, Captain P. II. Barry offered the
following: "ResoIved that the matter of
selecting Presidential electors be referred
10 the executive committee of the State
Central Committee under such instruc-
tions as shall be contained in the resolu-
tions to be presented by that committee. :"
Porter of Merrick County objected to
leaving so important matter to so small
a committee and moved to amend by sub
stituting central committee for s'execu-
tive committee" The amendment was
accepted and, after some warm discussion,
adopted.
Proceeding with the regular order of
business, Governor Holcomb was renomi-
mated by acclamation under suspension
of the rules. While the committee was
out to notify Governor Holcomb of his
nomination, the convention heard couple
of humorous songs by some Hastings
ladies, after which the rules were again
suspended and John C. Harris of Omaha
County was nominated by accIamation for
Lieutenant Governor.
Governor Hofcomb was escorted to the
platform and spoke for half an hour, his
speech being on state issues.
Upon the convention being informed
that committee from the Democratic
State Central Committee was in the city
asking for conference with like COM
mittee from the convention, it was moved
that a committee be appointed and that
further action be suspended until the COM
mittee reported. The motion was carried
and an adjournment taken until P. NJ.
The convention reconvened at 9:3O P. M
The committee appointed to confer with a
committee from the Democrats reported
that the Democrats asked that the nomin-
ations of candidates for Treasurer and
AttorneyGeneral be passed. The report
was made without Recommendation.
After an hours discussion G. J. Smyth,
chairman of the Democratic State Central
Committee, sent in communication
Withdrawing the Dem ocrats' request for
representation upon the State ticket.
w. F. Porter received majority of the
votes cast and was declared the nominee
of the convention for Secretary of State.
The platform as adopted indorses the
action of the ST. Louis convention; ap-
proves the course of Senator Allen in
standing for the masses; approves the
administration of Governor Holcomb; /;
fayors mutual and fraternal, fire, life and
accident insurance, and also favors the
valued policy insurance law.

G0odtcin's Defeat Encompassed by SuD-
pressing the Bidck Vote.
BIRMINGHAM, ALA, Aug. 5.-Frank
Baltzell, secretary of the Populist Cam
paign Committee, has published the fol-
lowing card:
The election last Monday was characterized
by frauds more widespread than any previous
elections, and in the ''Black Belt" in defiance
of law and in contempt for the opposition
which the law required should be recognized
by three to ten representatives at every poll.
Reports state that Dallas or some other
"Black Belt'' counties will send up the usual
majority, which means that whatever ma
iorities may be needed from these counties
will be sent up next Saturday, when the votes
shall be canvassed.
The Populists are very much exasperated on
account OF the wrongs practiced upon them,
and will not support Bryan or the Democratic
electors. They will put out an electoral ticket
for Bryan and Watson, and the Democrats can
take down their ticket, vote that ticket or see
100000 votes practically lost. If this shall
not be done the Populists will refuse to vote
and let the silver Democrats work out their
destiny and repent their meanness.
Self-respect manhood and civil liberty are
dearer to some people than free silver or any
other political issue.
Hon. A. T. Goodwin made brilliant and
effective campaign, visiting nearly every
county and speaking to the largest audiences
ever accorded speaker In this State. He has
been elected by from 16 900 to is, 900 majority
in the white counties and has received about
40, 900 votes in the tBlack Belt" but these
&C, 900 votes are counted for Johnson, giving
him q majority of about 25, 900.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Aug. 5.-To-day was
the hottest Chicago has seen this season,
and before the middle of the afternoon
the thermometer had registered 95
degrees and between twenty-five and
fifty people had been picked up overcome
by the heat. Many cases were bad, but
none fatal. Sickness is being produced,
and unless there is speedy change in the
weather great mortality is expected. Jo-
seph Lapham, well-known leather and
shoe findings dealer, was the first to die
from the heat. He was conscious yester-
day, and died to-day from a paralytic
stroke induced by the warm weather.
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Aug. 5.-This was an
other exceedingly not day here. At 7
A. NJ. thermometers registered IS degrees,
and at P. NJ. SO degrees was recorded.
Sunstrokes are less frequent, owing to the
dry atmosphere. Five cases we're treated
at the city dispensary. Thomas Hope
well, residence unknown, was picked up
at the corner of Center and Market streets
and treated at the dispensary. He died
this evening. The other cases are not
serious. The local weather forecast is for
coptinued warm weather till Thursday
evening.
