Democratic sentiment.

The Missouri democratic state con-
vention adopted the following plank
in the platform: we condemn in
unstinted measure the war depart
ment for the plumbers and crimes
committed against the brave boys in
blue in camp and on foreign battle
fields by selfish contractors, incompe-
tent surgeons and vain, heartless army
officers appointed for political Pur-
poses. We hereby pledge to our brave
sailors and soldiers who survive this
war our earnest and loyal support to
secure the punishment of the guilty
parties.
And in the far east the democrats
of Vermont adopted this plank: I'VE
commend to the generosity of a CRATE
ful public the soldiers of the late war
with Spain, sympathize and commits
crate with such as are now suffering
agonies the direct result of glaring
incompetency and brutal neglect upon
the part of the war department of the
general government, and demand a
thorough, impartial investigation of
that department by democratic con-
gress and the summary punishment
of the men who have prostituted pa
triotism to partisanshiP and greed.
These are strong words. but no
stronger than the circumstances war
