ressed in the platform.-Syracuse Cou-

Democrats who love Democracy and who decline to be counted among it's betrayers will have a ticket in the near future that will satisfy their desires and aims. This would be the most desirable result, but, come what may, the Chronicle absolves itself from all responsibility for the ut terances of the alleged Democratic con. vention just closed at Chicago, and pledges itself to aid in the defeat of its nominees. To participate in campaign for such a ticket on such a platform would be to be untrue to every patriotic Democratic principle.-La Crosse (Wis) Chronicle.
 A bright young man with a s.lvery, demagogic tongue is planted on the anti Democratic platform adopted at Chicago. and the excited victims of singular and illogical craze vie with the symputaizers with Anarchy and Populism in the long acclaim to William J. Bryan, the elo- quent and eccentric representative of the bolters of Nebraska. The plat form and the candidate threaten . par alysis of business until the day of cleo tion; for a longer period if success could possibly attend; and they condemn the Democratic party to fate that would be death to any other party, but the Democratic party is undying.-Utica Ob- server.
 Will Lose Hundreds of Thousands.
 Savannah News: All Democrats will not approve the declarations in respect to coinage, bonds, the currency, income tax and railroads. These latter declara- tions are much more Populistic than Democratic. It looks very, much as if they were put into the platform for the express purpose of currying favor with the Populists. In fact, if we are not mistaken, Senator Tillman said in his speech in the convention that the purpose of them is to influence the POpulists to come into the lines of the Democracy | and become part of the Democratic party. He did not seem to take into consideration the fact that the adoption of Populistic declarations might not break up the Populist party, but would pretty certainly drive hundreds of thou sands of Democrats out of the Democrat | ic party.
 | Boss Champions of Disorder.
 Trenton (N. J1 American Dem): But, whatever may be the course of the politicians and the party leaders. there will be thousands of Democrats in New | Jersey whO-nOt in resentment of the contumely with which the state and its interests have been treated, but from personal and public motives-will refuse to give their approval to convention l and vaingloriously threatened the de- struction of the nations credit, the dim mutton of values, the retardment of busi ness, the attack on property. and the tri
 umph of disorder above the law and those called upon to administer it. Anc they will so refuse in the belief tha' all other party issues fade into insigniti canoe in comparison with the issue as Il
 has been formulated at Chicago.
 Danger to Liberty.
 Galveston News The fact is that tn,
 programme formulated at Chicago mere iy marks the skirmish line of a great ant
 final battle for social revolution, indus

 subversion. Without constitutional safe

 An unchecked social Democracy mean

 Sioux Falls Argus Leader: The Dem

 national credit and reputation; will fC
 many years, make commercial contidenc
 impossible; will spread ruin over tn
 land; will destroy all hopes of bimeta lism in the generation; and will indef

 Leader can see it's duty only in one char , mel. Believing, as this paper does, tha , the honor, safety and prosperity of th ardized by the success of the Democrat t party on it's presetn platform, the Argu Leader, with sorrow for the broken ass,

 To Attempt the Impossible. t Staunton Va.) News: A law d. claring that wheat, regardless of tt surplus on the markets or the deman | for it, should sell the year round at S :: per bushel, and that corn and oat no matetr what their intrinsic valu . should always sell at the same fguI
