The Chicago platform marked an epoch In
the history Of the democratic party. We had
within the party probably the greatest party
contest that this country has ever known You
will remember that when the conventions met
to elect delegates to the republican national
convention 1t was but o contest between men,
and the newspapers reported that Mr.. McKin-
ley had secured so many delegates, or that Mr..
Reed had secured so many delegates But
when democratic convention met to elect
delegates. the question was not how they
would vote on preslden ial candidates. but how
they stood upon great economy question. We
had been In the habit Of selecting our delegates
on general principles. but when we came to Sc
lect them In 1898 they were selected because Of
their advocacy OF certain ideas. In the Chicago
convention Of 1893 we saw u triumph OF certain
ideas, and when the platform was written, and
believe 1t was one Of the best platforms ever
written certainly the best platform that has
been written In the last % years 1t made the

A CRITICAL TIME

SICK or WELL, II RUSH
NIGHT AWO OAY.

The Packers at the Battle of Santi-
ago de Cuba were all Heroes. Their
Heroic Efforts in Getting Ammu-
milton and Rations to the Front
Saved the Day.
P. E. BUTLER, of pack-train, No.
3, writing from Santiago de Cuba,
on July 23d, says: eve all had
diarrhoea in more or less violent
form, and when we landed we had
no time to see doctor, for it was a
case of rush and rush night and day
to keep the troops supplied with am
munition and rations, but thanks to
Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy, we were able to
keep at work and keep our health;
in fact, l sincerely believe that at
one critical time this medicine was
the indirect saviour of our army, for
if the packers had been unable to
work there would have been no way
of getting supplies to the front.
There were no roads that wagon
train could use. My comrade and
myself had the good fortune to lay
in a supply of this medicine for our
pack-train before we left Tampa,
and l know in four cases it absolute
ly saved life

Mcclure Sentenced.

Saturday, at Holly Springs,
DR.. John Mcclure was found
guilty of murder and sentenc-
ed to be hanged Oct. Is. An
appeal was taken to the Su-
preme Court. The crime for
which Mcclure was sentenced
was the killing of a man by
the name of Bayliss near By

membered that in August,
1897, he was accused of as

him in charge. On Septem-
18th, he was captured in

the case of assault was never
tried.

To the Public.

1t has come to my knowledge
that John x. Mcdaniel, County
Surveyor of Hardeman County,
Tenn, was being unjustly assaulted
by certain parties of said county in
regard to a survey made by him OF
some disputed lines between the
lands of G. w. Rowsey, of McNai-
ry County, and Jasper Shelton, of
Hardeman County.
Now, this is to certify that [ was
employed by Mr.. Rowsey last Feb
ruary to make survey of said lines
and found the survey as made by
Mcdaniel practically correct; and
no blame should attach to him
as a man, or an officer for having
made said survey as he did.
Judge Woods, at his February
term of Circuit Court for McNairy
County, also sustained said survey.

CAMP MEADE, MIDDLETowN, Pa,
Aug. %, 1898. Il enclose herewith
petition circulated in camp, which
expresses the sentiments of 80 per
cent. of the entire SecondTennessee
Regiment, who are DESTROYS of be-
ing mustered out:
Whereas, the war between the
United States and Spain is practical
ly ended and the disposition of the
volunteer army is now proposition
that confronts both the government
and the men composing that army,
and
Whereas, we, the privates and
non-commissioned officers of the Sec
ond Tennessee Volunteer Regiment,
coming from various stations in
life, placed our services at the dis
posal of the executive of our govern
ment to defend our flag, we have
worked faithfully to place ourselves
in a position to be able to fight in
the field or to perform duties in any
other place our superiors desired US
to go. Many of the men composing
this volunteer regiment left posi-
tions of honor and trust, for which
they received deserved compensa-
ton. Others left behind business
interests, which must necessarily
suffer during their absence. The
longer the time absent the greater
the detriment. The men of this
regiment are not an exception to
this rule.
We have been willing and anx-
ious to go to the front when our
country required our services. Now,
we understand that it is proposed to
send us to garrison and patrol the
island of Cuba for such time as the
conditions in that country seem to
demand our services.
We enlisted to fight-not to per-
form the duties of policeman. We
will fight when the occasion de-
mands, but we do not feel that as
volunteers we should be allotted the
task of patrolling beat in a foreign
country and seeing that motley
crowd of mixed nationalities deport
themselves according to the laws of
that land. Some of the men of this
regiment have relations and families
depending upon them for support,
or at least assistance. Most of them
are young men with ambition in
this life, who sacrificed good oppor-
tunities to respond to the call for
volunteers. A year or two means
much to such men, who have arriv-
ed at the age when it behooves them
to lookout for the future.
This is the sentiment of the en-
tire regiment, almost to man, as
can be learned by conversation with
them or by reference to the various
petitions Of this nature made to the
government.
Therefore, we respectfully petit
ton our government to muster Us
out as soon as it can, if possible,
with those regiments already nam
ed in the papers under date of Au
gust "a, 1898, so that we may re
turn to our respective homes anC
stations in life.
