THE PLATFORM.

The Democratic platform declares
for expansion along legitimate lines
and one of the strongest paragraphs
in it reads:
1--WE are not opposed to territorial ex-
pansion when it takes in desirable ter
ritory which can be erected into states
in the Union and whose people are will
ing and fit to become American citi-
zens. We favor expansion by every
peaceful and legitimate means. But
we are unalterably opposed to the seiz-
ing or purchasing of distant islands to
be governd outside the constitution and
whose people can never become citi-
zens. We are in favor Of extending the
republics influence among the nations,
but believe that influence should be ex-
tended, not by force and violence, but
through the persuasive power OF a
high and honorable example"
That paragraph in itself is broad
enough for any American to stand on.
1t is not "drivel." No member Of the
Kansas City convention will repudiate
it. No Democrat will set 1t aside. 1t is
the declaration of the party for for
ward movement of the nation along
legitimate lines. 1t is for a greater
trade with other nations without the
expense and horrors Of war. 1t is a
business proposition that no benefit can
be derived by spending for thing more
than can ever be got out Of it. 1t is
decent proposition in that 1t asks that
performances and not promises be the
basis Of the standing Of the United
States among nations. 1t declares for
broad and liberal expansion among
desirable peoples who want to come un-
der our flag, not to be taxed without
representation but to become a part
of this greatest nation on earth
There Is not single appeal
to passion or prejudice in the
platform adopted at Kansas City
but the justice and fairness of the
people is appealed to. The platform Is
another declaration of independence
reaffirming the old and setting forth the
issues that have since arisen as in
terpreted by the original document
There is no backward step on any
question. The things that were righ
in 1896 are right now. The wisdom o.
the delegates is apparent in defining
the main issue. When 1t is a question

REPRESENTS THE PARTY.
(Chicago Record.)

NSHlCdSO INeSoIusI
Nothing more clearly shows the de-
sire Of the Democratic leaders at Kan
sas City to have harmony In the party
than the eagerness with which they
turned to Adlai f. Stevenson as their
candidate for the second place on the
ticket with Bryan. Mr.. Stevenson, a
respectable and well known gentleman
is, in a sense, an antedeluvian so far as
the silver issue is concerned. He walk
ed about the earth before the flood OF
emotion over the "divine ratio" arose
and engulfed the country. During the
hurricanes that swept the party while
the silver issue was paramount he re-
mained, as 1t were, a closed incident
The result is that he does not represent
any faction, but does represent the en-
tire Democratic party as 1t was before
it split on the Chicago platform. There
fore the convention acted wisely In
choosing him instead of Towne, silver
Republican, or any man of the type
of Hill. Mr.. Stevenson las filled, with
dignity, the office of yice-president, and
doubtless would do so again If elected.
He Is a survival of the Democratic
party as 1t was before 1t Joined forces
with Populists and Silver Republicans,
and he should win favor for the ticket
with conservative Democrats. Be-
cause of this element of strength he
should prove of considerable assistance
to his brilliant yokefellow, Mr.. Bryan.

DEMooRACY's STANDARD BEARER.

William Jennings Bryan has again
been nominated as the standard bearer
of the Democratic party and no honor
was ever more fittingly bestowed.
Four years ago Mr.. Bryan was un-
known to the great body Of the Amer
ican people. Democracy was in sore
straits. There seemed to be nobody
to lead. Whether rightfully or wrong
fully, Grover Cleveland had been repu-
dated by the masses Of the party and
there was no time to stop to explain
why. 1t did not matter materially

FOR CHINA
The Services of the Eighth
Regiment Have Been
e Offered.

Wooster Journal. The services Of the
Eighth regiment, o. N. G., have been
rendered for service in China in case the
situation becomes so serious that 1t Is
found necessary to send volunteers to
that section Of the continent.
The tender was made to President
Mckinley by the regimental commander
Col. Edward vollrauh. at Canton. on the
Fourth Of July. The president received
the officers Of the regiment at his home
in the afternoon and 1t was on that oc-
casion that the offer was made.
The president gratefully acknowl-
edged the tender. being especially
pleased that "The Presidents Own"
should be one of the first regiments to
announce themselves willing to go to
that far off country. +,

had HARD LUCK.
How COshOctOn and Dennis0n
People Have Been Faring
With Trusts. ~

Canal Dover Reporter: Coshocton and
Dennison surely seem to be in hard luck
with their rolling mills. Each within
the past year has contributed consider
able sums of money (Coshocton gave
$4,000 and a free site) and land to
have these plants established, and now
they have been sold out to the Sheet
Steel trust and shut down, with very
indefinite prospect Of starting soon. 1t
is said that coshocton will fight the
trust in the courts. but 1t will likely be
Of as much consequence as that Of a
minnow with q whale.

WHY he REMAINS HERE.
Said That thePresident Wants to
Avoid Making White House
Political Rendezvous.

1t is probable that the president will
remain away from Washington almost
the entire summer, says a correspondent
Of the New York Mail and Express. He
will receive the committee appointed to
notify him Of his denomination at Canton
and, although he does not intend to
make a campaign such as he did in 1896,
he does not desire to come back to the
white house for any length of time while
the contest Is on. Talking about this
matter the other day, he said that while
he regretted not being able to spend
much of his time at the white house,
yet he felt that he needed good, long
vacation. Another reason for staying
away from Washington during the sum-
mer was that If he was here and the
politicians and statesmen could call on
him he would have to receive them as
candidate, and he did not think 1t proper
as the president of the United States
to make the white house camro.gn
headquarters.

The Democratic convention at Kan
sas City completed splendid ticket
Friday, by nominating Adali L.
Stevenson, of Illinois, for vice-presi-
dent. Mr. Stevenson was Grover Cleve-
lands running mate when he was elect
ed for the last term and a very trying
period was gone through with results
that reflected in no sense to the dishon-
or of the vice-president. Democracy
did not thrive during the last admins
tration of President Cleveland. Why, is
not vital now and need not be dis
cussed. But through it all Mr.. Steven
son retained his hold on Democracy,
gave the presidential chair that
honor and dignity that should ever at
tach to 1t and stood with the people in
everything. When William Jennings
Bryan was nominated there was no
fore front and did all in his power for
| the regular Democratic ticket. He is a
brainy citizen-a warm hearted, gen.
erous gentleman. 1t can be said of him
that he stands well at home. Nobody
can successfully revils him. He is a
man of executive ability and does not
depend on the spectacular for notice
among his fellows. There were good
men before the Kansas City conven-
ton but the delegates met the popular
will when they chose a candidate fol
vice. president who had been tried ant
not found wanting. In all probability
no man could have been nominated wh'
would have been so generally accepta
BILE. Loyal to his party in its most try
ing period, his reward comes yolun
tarily and at the hands of an undivide
and energetic Democracy. Illinois is

Now that the people have had time
to give the matter some consideration,
they are of the opinion that the NOM
ination of Adlai E. Stevenson was the
wisest that could have been made. He
has no factionalism with which to con-
tend and he was a loyal Democrat
when his old chief, Mr.. Cleveland, went
fishing and remained among the bull
rushes and duck blinds during the
whole of the campaign. Mr.. Steven
son made no mistakes when he was
vice-president, and is a safe, conserva-
tive man. able and honorable.
