The reason Mrs Lowe helped by the use
Of Grape-Nuts food is that the food is predi-
gested by natural processes and therefore does
not tax the stomach the food she had been
using; it also contains the elements required
for building up the nervous system If that
part OF the human body is in perfect working

Mr.. Suffers confident predictions amuse peo-

VAN wYCK's ANTITRUST PLANK.
Ex-Judge Augustus Van Wyck. one Of New
Yorks deegates-at-large submitted draft Of
a platform to good many Of the Southern del
egates to-day. In his patent platform he wholly
ignores the silver coinage question. except by
saying that the principles of the Democratic
platform Of 1896 are reaffirmed. His platform
deals solely with trusts, imperialism, expansion
and tariff reform Regarding trusts Mr.. Van
Wyck is expert, and has personal knowledge
of the operations of the Ice Trust, in New-York
His plank against trusts is therefore given in it's
entirety.
TO the checking, subduing and uprooting OF
the plutOcratic revival of feudalism by which
individual enterprise and liberty alike are being
stricken down every side, throughout the
land we unqualifiedly pledge the Democratic
party. In the Nation, in the several States and
in every municipality, the Democracy, through
all its organizations will wage unremitting war
for the stamping out of these conspiracies to re-
establish. under the forms of trade, the power
of the few to rule and rob the many.
IF the laws already the statute book be
found inadequate to the work before us, we
shall enact laws that will admit Of no excuse
for official inactivity, though in the mean time
1t is manifest that there has been a much
greater desire exhibited by Federal authori-
flourish than to find in the laws as they stand
weapons with which to strike them down.
Honest capital and honest labor have a common
interest in this relation, and the Democratic
party will. as 1t always has done, remember its
duty 10 both, while prosecuting with unsparing
severity the audacious plutocracy, which has
reared itself so rankly upon the spoils Of in
dustry and the corruption of Government"

gigantic majority IN 1896 occupies the main
part Of the attention Of the Convention. How
will NewYork vote II the Convention readopts
the Is to 1 free coinage silver plank of 1867"
is the question hears frequently asked by
the delegates from the other States Of the Union
The actions Of David B. Hill and Of Richard
Croker are therefore observed with great curl
osity for they are believed to be aware of the
sentiments of the voters Of New-York on the
silver question. Observation Of Mr. Croker
quickly ends He has shown his intense interest
in the Convention by playing cards most Of the
time to-day. He is said TO believe that Bryan
cannot be moved from his decision that the
silver plank should be readopted. and therefore
to have abandoned all thought Of work in the
other direction. Whatever Mr.. Bryan wants he
shall have, Mr. Croker is reported to have said
to-day. All that Mr.. Croker cares for is the
support Of Tammany Hail. and this, he believes,
he secures by yielding to Mr. Bryan.
David B. Hill, the other hand, has been at
work under extremely discouraging crcum-
stances. He returned from his visit to Mr..
Bryan at Lincoln this afternoon looking greatly
worn OUT He said to the newspaper correspond
ents az once: Mr.. Bryan and myself have an
agreement that nothing shall be said about the
subject of our conversation until I have had
an opportunity for a talk with certain people
here tonight"
People naturally thought that Mr.. Hill was
reserved because Mr.. Bryan had said certain
things about the platform which he did not
wish to have published. 1t known that Mr.
Hill thought that the coinage plank of 1895
should be discarded. and it thought that the
main purpose of his visit to Lincoln was to per-
suade Mr.. Bryan to abandon this plank. Soon
after Mr.. Hills arrival here from Lincoln
friend of his said: "Mr. Bryan, I understand
ssys that he personally believes that the 16 to /
plank should be readopted, but is willing to
submit to the will of the Convention on the
matter"
