The Demo ,racy Preparing for 1900.


The reafIlrmatiun OF the Chicago platform
OF 800 by the Democratic National Com
mlttee, in its session at Chicago. ia OF course
inevitable. That platform made new
departure for the Democratic party, and by
linking with II the Populists brought to It
at the election OF 500 about one million
more votes than were cast for GROVER
CLEVELAND in 1902. Accordingly. unless
tho Chicago platform is reafflrmed In 1900,
q split in that combination and dangerous
cooling OF Democratic enthusiasm through
out the Union arc inevitable. The gold
sentiment OF tho party, moreover. has
been frightened into silence or has per-
manently estranged itself from latter-day
Democracy
With the Chicago platform, OF course,
logically will go the denomination Of Mr..
BRYAN probably without single opposing
delegation in the National Convention. Mr..
SULzER guarantees Bryan delegation from
New York and he takes no risk in doing 1t.
New England also will be solidly for the
denomination OF the candidate OF 500.
1t is evident, however, that an attempt
will be made TO give paramount Importance

BOSTON BANK FAILS.
Globe National IL Ordered Closed and
Receiver Is AppOintcd-ActiOn
Causes Surprise.

Boston, Dec. aa.-Comptroller of the
Currency Dawes Thursday evening or
dered the closing of the Globe ma
tional bank of this city. This action
was taken on the representations
made to the comptroller by Special
Bank Examiner Wing, who few days
ago was made temporary receiver of the
Broadway national bank and who is
now appointed temporary receiver of
the Globe national. The news has taken
this city by surprise. While the bank
was known to have been in distress ten
days ago, presumably over the decline
in copper specaities, chiefly United
States Mining company, it was thought
the crisis had passed.
The downfall of the bank is attrib-
uted to the heavy shrinkage in the
price of coppers and the Squire fall
ure.
In the opinion of conservative peo-
pie the bank will not pay more than
so per cent. to its dcpositors, but to
do this the stockholders will lose
every dollar of their capital, surplus,
and undivided profits, and it is not
improbable that the stockholders may
be assessed

churches, and. as the dinner hour ap-
preached, the streets were deserted.

grounds at the south Of the mansion,
and then joined Mrs. Mckinley in the

callers and no guests. Neither attentl-
