DEkOC. ATTIC Committeeman
Continued from first page.)
We assert without fear of successful
contradiction, two propositions:


First-An overwhelming majority of
tn. voters in tho Democratic party in
the State of New York are enthusiasts
ticaily in favo: of the principles laid
down in the Chicago platform of 1896,
and demanding without qualification
the nomination OF that man who shall
in his -ecord ana in his personal quail
ties most thoroughly stand for and in
carnata those principles.
Second-We declare that the small
gronD os men who have seized upon the
machinery of the Democratic party in
the State of New York are absolutely
opposed. openly or covertly, TO all that
the Chicago platform stands for and
the nominaton OF any man who sin
cerely holds those principles which we
believe dominate the Democratic or
ganization III the nation.
And we further declare that the cleo
torai machinery in the state of New
York is such that 20 attempt to Dust
tho men now in control of the Tam
many organization by work within that
body. wluld be frutiess.
In support OF the first proposition
laid down we have only to point to two
recent illuminating instances in New
York politics. First, the marked con-
trast between the attendance, the en-
thuslasm and the high spirit of dcvo-
t!cn shown a t the dinner of the Chicago
Platform democracy, moro widely
known as the dollar dinner" and the
purely perfunctory tone of the dinner
held on Jeffersons birthday by the So
called regular or Tammany organiza-
tion and, second, the magnificent pop
uiar ovation given within the hostile
walls of Tammany Hall to the one
speaker who in the last three years has
dared TO cast aside the gag imposed by
Tammany rulers. and proclaim the COS
pei of the Chicago platform and put
forward the name of w. J. Bryan
n number of instances are cited in
which it is claimed that Tammany
failed to show its loyalty to Democratic
principles. The address concludes as
follows:
I'VE issue this address in order that
the fact may be put before the Demo-
Gratis of the nation that the Tammany
organization is Indifferent where it is
not hostile to those national issues for
which the Democratic party stands;
and we ask the cooperation of all
Democrats. in or out of official station
in the work of giving to the Democratic
voters of the State of New York an
opportunity to express themselves and
make their convictions effective in the
nation.

THE PATENT OFFICE.

Growing Inability of the Government

1t may surprise many people to learn
that the United States Patent Office
receives in fees 81 100000 Il year; that
the Office is run at a profit which since
It's establishment in 1876 amounts to
more than $1,000. 600. and that the gross
receipts from patents and bridesmaids
have been nearly $40 600. 600. Americans
stand first in respect OF the inventive
faculty. and ii appears also that they
stand so far ahead of the government
operations in this particular that all
efforts 10 keep with them or abreast

the fiscal year of 1890 there were
