If the legislature had actually wanted
the prohibitory law strengthened" it would
have adopted Senator Durkees amendment
providing fine and Imprisonment for first

to stop the traffic.-Harris' Weekly.

INDIANAPOLIS PLATFORM.

Indianapolis. Sept. 3.-The platform
adopted by the sound money democrats
today is as follows:
This convention has assembled to
uphold the principles upon which de-
pend the honor and welfare OF the
American people in order that demo-
Gratis throughout the union may unite
uheir patriotic efforts to avert disaster
from their country and ruin from their
party.
The democratic parity is pledged to
equal and exact Justice to all men of
every creed and condition; to the larg-
est freedom for the individual consist
ent with good government; TO the pre-
servation OF the federal government in
ITS constitutional vigor. and to the sup
port of the states i'm all their just
rights: to economy in the public ex-
penditures; to the maintenance OF the
public faith and sound money; and II
is opposed to paternalism and all class
Legislation.
The declarations Of the Chicago
convention attack Individual freedom,
the right Of private contract. the indie

PREPARING TO ACCEPT.
A LETTER FROM SEWALL WHICH
WILL LET BRYAN DOWN
LIGHT.
Jones Gives 1t to the Public in Order
That Bryan's Acceptance May Be
Forestalled-Other Political News
of Interest to the Dear People in
These Piping Times.

Chicago, ILL.,, Sept. 3.-Chairman
Jones of the democratic national COM
mittee has made public the following
letter to William j. Bryan from Ar
thur Sewall, apparently dated July %,
at which time the populist convention
was in session.:
MY Dear Mr.. Bryan: In view Of the
action of the s.. Louis convention to-
day | n refrain from giving you
my thoughts on the situation. My ad-
vices are that you nave been nominated
as a candidate for president and Mr..
Watson for vice president, l also learn
through the press dispatches that you
are somewhat undecided whether you
ought to accept Oh decline. Now l desire
to say to you with the utmost frank
ness and good feeling that you must
not allow any personal consideration
for me to influence you in your action.
I desire that you will do just what you
believe to be the best for the success
Of the head Of our ticket. The prin-
SlPiVo -" - 6hNihS IVA III ~ laio
mount to any personal considerations
that the latter should not have any
weight or influence whatever with your
action. l cannot for a moment allow
myself to be a factor in any action on
your part thai would, in the slightest
degree, hazard the electoral vote for
you. With kind regards to Mrs. Bryan,
believe me your sincere friend. Arthur
SewaE."
The democratic managers at the
headquarters insisted the letter had no
further significance than that Bryan
would consent to receive a formal no
tlfication from the populist party in
the near future and the publication
was to forestall false rumors as to the
attitude OF Sewan toward such cere-
mony.

the gravity and the Importance and the
danger OF this assault upon our consti-

One OF the hndest and most discrim-

foreign pen about American affairs,
Mr.. Bryce, IN his American Common
wealth." pointed out this danger, that
the constitution did not fix the mum

1T was possible for a reckless congress
and reckless executive to subordinate
and practically destroy the supreme
court by the process I have just de-
scilbed, and the Englishman, after
speaking of this, says:
What prevents such assaults on the
fundamental law? Nothing but :he

sense and attachment to the principles
OF the constitution may he generally

American people when an issue like

required by the treasury is determined
by the appropriations made by con-
gress. The demand Of the republican
party for am increase in tariff tax has
its pretext in the deficiency Of revenue
which has it's causes in the s%tagnation
of trade and reduced consumption. due
entirely to the loss Of confidence that
has followed the pupulist threat of free
coinage and depreciation OF our money
and the republican practice of extrava-
giant appropriations beyond the needs
Of good government.
