Democratic
''' State Platform.

The Democrats of Nevada In Con-
ventIon assembled declare as fol-
lows: u
We endorse every line, word and
syllable Of the platform adopted by
the DEM cratic National Convention
at Chica.5 90 in 1896, with particular
emphasis upon the resolution advo-
eating the free and unlim coinage
OF both gold and silver and without
the aid or consent OF my ratlon on

We glory in the achievements of
the Army and Navy, in the late war
with Spain and we commend the
Democratic congressman in their
course upon the prosecution of the
war. as paI riotic, statesmaDlike and
compatible with the honor and Dig
nifty OF our nation.
We agree with Senator Teller, an
ardent ProtectiODest, that the DINGHY
law was formulated and passed. not
ur protection OF American labor, nor
for the purpose Of revenue for the
government, but exclusively In tho in
terest OF the monopolies and trusts,
which furnished the corruption money
to carry on the Mckinley campaig q.
We furthermore declare without
fear Of successful contradiction, that
any or all Of the provisions of the in
famous law do not, directly or indi.
rectly benefit. to the amount Of far
thing one hundred actual residents
OF Nevada while the entire people Of
the State are additionally taxed in
increased prices Of the necessaries Of
| life to an amount more than sufficient
| to defrhy tie entire expenses Of the
State govel nment. And it iB with
shame and humiliation that we point
to the fact that this measure 80 dis
| tresstul TO the people Of Nevada was
| passed by the aid Of our Senators
without which it could never have
beconit q law.
We demand Home Rule for the
| people Of Nevada. Our National
| Cover nmeut inaugurated bloody
| and expensive war to insure Home
! Rule for tile Cubans. and yet the
Sovereign State Of Nevada has for
years, and still is, under more abject
servitude to the Southern Pacific

a partial extent at least. prevent the

and which is now prevailing in our

The DcmocrAtIc party of Nevada is
in favor of utilizing and developing

we favcr liberal legislation and the

We demand that our National Gov

and trade OF these islands may be
brought to our shores, as such a pol
icy woul result in great profit and
commercial advantages to the Paci-

We most earnestly advise the Dem

Committees and to nominate full leg

YELLOW FEVER,

Now that there is no human enemy
in our way, our sanitary officers in the
conquered province have an excellent
opportunity to give to the world an

We have always believed that the
chief reward to our country for un-
dertaking this modern crusade against
the Saracen. and one that will fully
compensate us for expenditure of
blood and money, will be the liberia
tion of our southern states from the
constant menace of yellow fever. We
are fighting not only for the freedom
of Cuba from Spanish tyranny, but for
the freedom of America from Spanish
disease. The accomplishment of the
| first object is almost realized, and that
of the second is plainly in sight. .
1t is not expected, however, that this

struggle, and we therefore welcome

deed that the loss may be heavy, yet
with no misgiving as to the outcome Of

II was out walking in the northwest

"The shamrock has three leaves,
which, in most instances. are perfect

American. Fig. shows the tank pro-
vided with the usual discharge pipe,
having nozzle of any desired construc-
ton. The tank is provided with screw
closure having a circular wall covered
by Il screw cap. Secured to the lower
side of the closure and projecting into
the tank is a yoke. shown in detail in
Fig. .. A glass bottle containing sui
phuric acid is held by this yoke so that
the cork presses against the cover.
Within the cover lever is fulcrumed
and connected by means of rod with
lever having at It's free end hammer
like formation adapted to bear against
the bottom of the bottle. The latter
lever is fuErumed on an arm carrying
pan, the perforated bottom Of which
lies lust above the solution of sodium

When it is desired to use the extin-
guisher. the screw-cap is removed, and
the lever pressed downwardly. This
operation causes the hammer to be fore
ibly driven against the bottom of the
bottle thus breaking the glass and caus-

LUCKY BALDNIN'S ESCAPE
SAN FRANCISCO HOTEL BURNS
one of the Guests Saved the Lives
Of Three Women Before His own
Denth-Structure Cost over Three
Million Dollars.

san francisco, Nov 24.--The Baldwin
hotel caught fire and was entirely de
stroyed yesterday morning. There were
500 people, guests and employees, in the
hotel when the fire broke out and mum
Der of these people are thought to have
lost their lives.
A man named J. J.. White is one Of the
victims, burt before he gave up his lie
the gallant fellow saved the lives of three
women.
The fire is said to have started in the
kitchen, located in the basement The
fire worked its way up through the tlue
to the sixth floor and before the first
alarm was sent in the flames had gained
great Roadway. The first alarm was fol
lowed by Others in rapid succession, until
five calls had been sent in, summoning
every piece of apparatus at the command
of the department.
Luck" Baldwin had narrow escape
from perishing. Amid all the din he slept
peacefully until his room was broken IN
to and he was dragged from his bed.
The building of the hotel began in 1871
and was finished in 1877. Its total cost.
including the ground and furniture. was
So 100000. In the building was the Bald
win theater The street floor OF the i'm
mense structure was occupied by the ho-
tel offices, bar room and numerous stores.
In the basement was an deliberately fitted
! a. I,,,i, 4t,tn cd n
that he carried 100000 insurance.
The Baldwin theater was completely
/ demolished The stage effects of Secret
/ Service which was filling an engage
ment at the theatcr, were destroyed
L. j. Baldwin, owner OF the hotel, rs
Frustrated and unable to tell much about
/ his affairs. lie says he will not be able
| to estimate the loss for several days.
/ The house was full of guests, it being
the popular stopping place of racing men
and many other strangers who are now
visiting this city in large numbers. Most
of the people in the building are believed
| to have escaped.
While the roof was in flames man was
! seen endeayoring to escape from an up
per window. attned only in his night
shirt. 70 those below ON the streets he
seemed to fall backwards in the raging
flames, as he suddenly disappeared,
Those connected with the hotel are
convinced that several of their employees
have persisted in the flames but owing to
the great excitement prevailing the names
of those who are missing has not yet been
ascertained.
