DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM.

We, the democrats of the United
States, IN national convention as
sembled, do reaffirm our allegi.
anCe to the essential principles of
justice and liberty upon which our
institutions are founded, and
which the democratic party has
advocated from Jefferson's time to
our own-freedom of speech, free
dom of The press-freedom of con-
science, the preservation of per-
sonal rights, the equality of all
citizens before the law, and the
faithful .observances of constitu.
tional limitations. During all
these years the democratic party
has resisted the tendency of sci
fish interests to the Capitalization
of government power and stead
tasty maintained the integrity of
the dual scheme of the govern.
ment established by the founders
of this republic Of republics. I'm.
der its guidance and teachings the
great principle Of local self-gov-
eminent has found it's best express
sion in the maintenance of rights
of the States, and in its assertion
of the necessity of combining the
general government to the exer.
else of the powers granted by
the Constitution of the United
States.
The constitution of the United
States guarantees to every citizen
the right of civil'and religious lib
erty. The democratic party has
always been the exponent of polit-
ical liberty and religious freedom,
and it renews it's obligation and
reaffirms it's devotion to those fun.
damental principles of the con.
vention.
Recognizing that the money
question is paramount to all others
at this time, we invite the atten
ton to the fact that the federal
constitution names silver and gold
together as the money metals of
the United States, and that the
first coinage law passed by con-
gress under the constitution made
the silver dollar the monetary unit
and admitted gold to free coinage
at the rate based upon the silver
dollar unit.
We declare that the act of 1878,
demonetizing silver without the
knowledge or approval of the
American people, has resulted in
the appreciation of gold and a cor.
responding fall in the prices of
commodities produced by the peo-
pie, q heavy increase in the burden
of taxation and of all debts, pub
lie and private, the enrichment of
the money lending class at home
and abroad, the prostration of in.
dustry and impoyerishment of the
people.
We are unalterably opposed to
m0nometallism, which has locked
fast the prosperity of an industrial
people in the paralysis of hard
times. Gold monometallism is a
British policy and its adoption has
brought other nations into finan.
cial servitude to London. It is
not only un.Amesican, but anti,

MR.. BOwDENs ELEVATION

THAT Col. WILLIAM LAMB could not
again be elected member of the Ma
tional Republican Committee was ap-
parent. That he declined to be can
didate at st. Louis was a yielding to
the inevitable.
In the selection Of Hon. GEORGE E5
BowDRN for that honor is repeated the
happening many years ago when Hon.
JOHN s. WISE led the opposition to
GEN. WILLIAM MALONE and Col. JAMES
d, BRADY secured place on this same
committee. He used it TO the annoy
ance Of GEN. MALONE, and thwarted
many Of his plans with reference to APP
pointments to Office.
The selection Of Mr.. BowDEN will Of
feet very materially she canvass of Con-
gresham r. T. Thorp for reelection
and may result in either the retire
ment Of both gentlemen or a declara-
ton in favor of his antagonist.
1t is phenomenal that Col. LAMB was
elected state chairman at Staunton.

succeeded himself on the National Re-

GOV. ATKINSON ON LYNOHING

THE lynching of JESSE SLAYToN and
WILL MILES, both colored ut Columbus
Ca, June i, 1896 at about 10 O'Clock
was one of the most cowardly and bru-
tai murders as yet chronicled.
SLAYToN was being tried at the time,
and the courtroom was surrounded
and stormed by a body of armed men,
the prisoner shot on the way to the
tree to which he was to be hanged and
the body perforated with bullets.
MILES was then taken from Jail, car
ried to the same tree, strung up and
shot into shreds.
Columbus, Ga. is populous city,
has military company and officers of
the law and yet no attempt was made
to Illustrate the murderous designs of
the cut-throats.
Gov. w. Y. ATKINSON has offered
($5 ,OOO) five thousand dollars reward
for the arrest and conviction of the
first ten lynchers. This is ($5OO) five
hundred dollars piece and is said TO
be the largest reward ever offered in
the state for a criminal Offense.
In the Atlanta CONSTITUTION Gov.
ATKINSON is quoted as follows:
"Iwas astonished," said the COVER
nor yesterday, as he stood at the car
shed, waiting for his train, "to learn of
this recent lynching. 1t is a great
blot on the record of Georgia that a
criminal who had been arrested by due
process of law, and who was on trial,
should have been taken from the very
court of Justice itself and hanged by a
mob. This occurred in the midst of a
thickly populated city, where there
officials, and with the military within
easy call.
What astonished me still more was
that not a single shot was fired, or, so
far as l can learn, not single attempt
was made by the officers to defend the
prisoner or to see that the laws of the
State were properly executed
cit Is this sort of thing which brings
criticism on our courts of justice. This
| lynching business must stop. II one
sheriff would defend his prisoner, as
he would his life, and never give his
charge up to mob until he was over
powered, it would go far to putting an
end to lynch law in Georgia. The
laws of the state provide for sure and
speedy trial for such offences as those
of which the two Negroes were guilty
This lynching spirit should be put
down, even if it takes bullets to do so
When once the officers of the state de-
fend their prisoners with their own
lives, then lynching in Georgia will be
at an end"
''Will you push this case, GOVERNOR
was asked.
"It is my intention to do so to tht
extent of my power" replied Cover
nor Atkinson. "Of course all l car
do now is to offer reward for tht
guilty parties, and have done this
/ But I expect to do ell that I can t.
stop this lynching spirit. From TIT

This is statement of his position
made with the full knowledge of TIT
responsibility resting upon him.
We challenge a comparison of thes'
utterances with any made by any Chic
Executive officer in these United
States.

and dares to express them.
