THE PLATFORM.

The following is the platform adopt
cd by the convention:
We hereby indorse the principles OF
democracy as enunciated 10 the nation
al platform of the party adopted at Chi.
cago in 1896. We heartily indorse Will
liam jennings Bryan as the logical dem
ocratic candidate for the Presidency OF
the United States and we instruct our
delegates to the national democratic
convention to ne held at Kansas City to
vote accordingly.
We denounce the republican policy oil
IMPERIALISM ss undepocratic, uD-Amer
lean and unconstitutional. Virgins
has ever been foremost in battling for
the republic as against the empire, and
it s with an unfslteriDg confidence In
the patriotism OF her sons that we call
upon them to again stand against the
empire and for the republic. We de.
clare that there can be no government
by the republic OF our fathers except
that which is dominated by the Consti.
tuition of the United States, and that
neither in the promotion of our welfare
nor 10 accordance with the Constitution
can the United States acquire and gov
ern any territory whatsoever as sub
ject province nor deny'to the people o.
any territory to be retained under ouI
control the blessings of constitutions
liberty, nor can we hope to raise the
level OF American citizenship by pour.
| ing into it horde OF Asistics.
Therefore, 10 the interest Of the
American people and American institu'
tons and 10 harmony with the teach
ings of our wisest statesmen Of all par
ties, and as "a plain duty" we demand
that the Philippine Islands be turned
over ss soon as practicable to their OWL
inhabitants; that the people OF Porto
Rico be given a just territorial govern
ment before their substance is STOLEN BY
arpet-baggers, and that We promptly
and honorably make good our solemn

Prof. Hayes and the Land Grabbers. ~

Prof. Gregory W. Hayes has had
quite an experience with the Land :
grabbers. 1t seemed that he purchas-
ed piece of property at l011 N. 3rd
St., between Preston and Bates SITS.
Prof. Hayes failed to record the deed
and overlooked the taxes. The
"Land-grabbers, mot being able to fad
the owner proceeded to have the order
OF publication carried out a per the
law. But it was in the name Of Glas
gov and not in the name of Hayes.
Prof. Hayes knew nothing about il
until his tenants declined to paw his
agent rent, having been notified so 60
do by the "Lapd grabbers' who had
secured q deed to the property f-om
the clerk OF the HustiRgs Court.
The matter was turned over to Law
yer Goldsberry at Lynchburg, and the
result is In doubt. Prof. Hayes con-
tends that he cannot riRhtfully be dis
possessed of his property. The taxes
due were only about $28 and the prop
erty lost is worth fully one thousand
dollars.
This is another practical demonstra-
tion OF this land roDbing evil.

account for his heariless performance.
Last Friday night, the Starlight Club
celebrated its snniv erssry st Johnson's
Hall with q magnificent supper. Those
who received invitations had until
that night considered themselves
quite fortunate, not thinking for once
II they escaped with their belongings
they would be sill lucky.
The orchestra was discoursing sweet
music while the guests were tripping
lightly to its entra7cing strains, when
suddenly some one rushed INTO the
ballroom and yelled: "Your hats
cut your hats cutp'
Some forgot their ballroom eti-
quett. Others no longer heard the
sweet strains of music, even those who
were in the set of dancing cut il short
and there was frantic rush for the
wrap department, while those in the
farthest end of the hall who had fail
ed to hear the alarm wondered st the
sudden turn OF thIngs.
To their surprise some one had got
ten into that department. and slsshed
right and left, cutting up cspes, cloaks,
eollsrettes and all hats in sight. Men
found their hats with the crown neat
ly cut out aud ladies found their
wraps sliced up aud but few escaped
the slicer's eye. T.
