Philippine Policy.

We condemn and denounce the Philippine
! policy OF the present administration. 1t has
| embroiled the republic in an unnecessary war
sacrificed the lives of many OF its noblest sons
| and placed the United States, previously known
| and applauded throughout the world as the
| champion of freedom, in the false and I'M Amer
| lean position Of crushing with military force
the efforts of our former allies to achieve liber
! ty and self-government. The Filipinos cannot
be citizens without endnngering our civiliza
! ton; they cannot be subjects without imperil
! ing our form of government, and as we are not
willing to surrender our civilization, or to con
! vert the republic into an empire, we favor an
immediate declaration of the nations purpose
| to give the Filipnos. first, stable form OF gov
eminent: second, independence and, third pro
| lection from outside interference such as has
been given for nearly u century to the republics
of Central and South America.
The greedy commercalism which dictated
the Philippine policy of the Republican admin
istration attempts to justify it with the plea
that it will pay, but even this sordid and un
worthy plea fails when brought to the test OF
facts. The war Of criminal aggression against
| the Filipinos, cntailing an annual expense OF
many millions, has already cost more than any
possible profit that could accrue from the en-
| tire Philippine trade for years to come. Fur
| thermore when trade Is extended at the ex.
pense Of liberty the price is always too high.
| We are not opposed to territorial expansion,
when 1t takes in desirable territory which can
be erected into states IN the Union, ana whose
people are willing and lit TO become American
citizens. we favor trade expansion by every
peaceful ana legitimate means but we are
| unalterably opposed TO the seizing or purchas-
ing OF distant islands TO be governed OUTSIDE
the constitution, ana whose people can never
| become citizens.
we are IN favor OF extending the repupllc
influence among the nations, but believe that
influence should be extended not by force ana
violence, but through the persuasive power OF q
high and honorable example.
The Importance OF other questions now pend
ing before the American people is in nowise d.
minished and the Democratic party takes no
backward step from its position on them, but
the burning issue of Imperialism growing out OF
the Spanish war involves the very existence OF
the republic and the destruction of our free In
situations. We regard it as the paramount is
sue of the campaign.

other side.
The second day of the Democratic
national convention began at HOS a.
IN. The hall was filled with the dele
gates and spectators. The crowd was
estimated at 10000. The prayer was
offered by Bishop Glennon. A minor
ity report of the resolutions committee
was expected, but the opposition to the
silver plank decided it would be use
less. Van Wyck declined to join Hill
in making fight.
Ex-Governor Hogg of Texas made a
speech directly after the convention
was called to order. References to the
silver planls were cheered. Alexander
Dockery of Missouri followed him.
Mayor Rose of Milwaukee, j. f. Nc
Cullough of Indiana and j. r. Williams
of Illinois then addressed the conven-
ton. Another demonstration for ex-
Senator Hill interrupted the proceed
ings. George Fred Williams of the
platform committee offered resolu-
tion for the appointment of commit
tee of nine for conference with the
Populists and Silver Republicans on
the Vice Presidential nomination. 1t
was declared accepted.
George w. Miles of Maryland was
Missed when he said that he was one
of the Democrats who did not believe
in all the dogmas of 1896. A demon
stration was made when Governor
Beckham of Kentucky was introduced,
and at quarter to 1 o'clock the con-
vention adjourned to half past 3
o'clock,

The First Day.

Amid scenes of tumultuous enthusi.
asm befitting such an event and such a
day, the Democratic national oonven-
ton began its sessions Wednesday
July 4, II o'cock noon, at Kansas City,
Mo. After sitting until nearly II
o'clock at night, the expected climax of
the day-the nomination Of William j.
Bryan as the Democratic candidate for
president-failed of realization, because
of the inability of the committee on
resolutions to report-the is to 1 de-
claration being the cause of the delay.
AS spectacular event, however, the
convention fulfilled the hopes of the
most fervid party man, for the vast as
semblage of delegates and spectators
was twice swept with whirlwind DEM
onstrations, first for the leader who

DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM.
Adopted In National Convention Mt Kan
sas City, Mo-, July 8, 1870.

We. the representatives OF the Democratic
party OF the United States assembled In
national convention on the anniversary OF the
adoption OF the Declaration Of Independence,
do reaffirm our faith In that immortal procla'
nation OF the inalenable rights Of man, and
our allegiance to the constitution framed In
harmony Herewith by the fathers Of the re-
public.
We hold with the United States Supreme
court that the Declaration Of Independence is
the spirit OF our government, OF which the con-
stitution is the form and letter.
We declare again that all governments In
stituted among men derive their just powers
from the consent of the governed that any gov
eminent not based upon the consent OF the
governed Is q tyranny, and that to impose upon
any people government of force Is TO substi-
tute the methods of Imperialism for those OF .
republic
We hold that the constitution follows the
flag and denounce the doctrine that an executive
or congress deriving their existence and their
powers from the constitution can exercise law
full authority beyond it or in violation Of 1t.
Imperialism.
We assert that no nation can long endure half
republic and half empire, and we warn the
American people that imperialism abroad will
lead quickly and inevitably to despotism ut
home.
Believing in these fundamental principles,
we denounce the Porto Rico law, enacted by q
Republican Congress- against the protest and
opposition OF the Democratic minority. as a
bold and open violation OF the nations organic
law, and fragrant breach of the national good
faith. 1t imposes upon the people OF Porto
Rico government without their consent, n tax
alton without representation. 1t dishonors the
American people by repudiating solemn
pledge made in their behalf by the commanding
general Of our army, which the Porto Ricans
welcomed to peaceful and unresisted occupa-
tion Of their land. 1t doomed to poverty and
distress a people whose helplessness appeals
with peculiar force TO our justice and magma
nimity. In this. the first act OF It's imperialis-
tic programme, the Republican party seeks to
commit the United States to a colonial policy,
inconsistent with republican institutions and
condemned by the supreme court in numerous
decisions.
We demand the prompt and honest fulfllment
of our pledges to the Cuban people and the
world, that the United States has no DISPOSE.

The Platform Fight.

The great fight of the national con-
vention was stubbornly fought out in
the committee on resolutions in a
session lasting from o'clock Wednes-
day afternoon until $40 o'clock Thurs
day morning.
1t resulted in victory for straight
out declaration for silver, as demanded
by Mr.. Bryan, by the narrow margin of
26 to "a.
The states cast their votes in the
test of strength as follows:

Colorado Kentucky,
Delaware, Tennessee,
Maine, Utah,
Massachusetts, Vermont,
Missouri, Washington,

Montana and District OF Columbia did not
vote.
The fight in the committee was
most bitter one one. The opposition
TO specific 16 to declaration was led
by Senator Danial of of Virginia, who
presided at the Chicago convention of
1896 which nominated Bryan. Senator
Daniel spoke eloquently and forcibly
several times during the continu-
Gus session. Other speakers on this
side were Mr.. Baughman of Mary
land, Mr.. Daily of New Jersey, MIR.
Morss of Indiana, Carter Harrison OF
Chicago, Mr.. Avery of North Carolina,
Mr. Mcclure of California and General

ton of the entire day. When. at the
close of the speech of Permanent Chair
man Richardson, he paid a glowing
tribute to William j. Bryan, pande-
monium broke loose and the historic
scene of Bryan's nomination at Chicago
was repeated, even exceeded, in a
frenzied demonstration lasting half an
hour. The state Standards were
wrenched from their sockets and,
borne aloft, battle of supremacy was
waged between the standard bearers,
urged on by the deafening applause Of
the entire shouting, gesticulating null
titude. Convention then adjourned to
1880 Thursday morning.

w. j. Strong, in the course of an ad-
dress on Labor and Capital" at the
recent annual banquet of the Life In
surance Writer'S Association, said:
The mistake the laboring men in this
country make is that they do not call
their unions aSsociat tons, that they 10
not call their walking delegates and
their business agents superintendents
or general managers. If the labor
unions were called associations and
their business agents superintendent
or general managers the public would
appreciate the position they occupy.
There is something about the word as
ISOLATION that suggests velvet carpets,
mahogany desks. Havana cigars, silk
hats and patent leather shoes. But the
word labor union suggests to the mind
greasy overalls, dirty hands, blackened
faces and brOgans.'

The men who fought the battles for
labor, who make enemies Of capitalists
and corporation by what they do and
say. have trials enough to encounter
without feeling that they must also be
on their guard against enemies in the
very ranks of labor who ought to be
their friends and supporters. But,
while it is discouraging to know that
there are creatures so despicable as to
seek to blight the good work of loyal
men { and it would be difficult to am
agine anything so utterly contempti-
ble), it must never be forgotten that
the sound sense and good judgement of
the great majority of the laboring
people can be relied upon to scorn the
work of gossips and render futile the
efforts Of the falsifier who would will
ingly wreck every hope of labor's
future. that in the ruins they might
find some petty hate or malice granted.
