THE DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM
And Vice Presidential Nominee Dis
cussed by MI. Bryan and Demo
cratic Leaders.

And Vice Presidential Nominee Dis
cussed by MI. Bryan and Demo-
cratic Leaders.
Bryan was in Chicago to-day, and the
center of much political discussion, all
OF 1t bearing on what may be done at
the Democratic national convention
next month. Mr.. Bryan saw scores OF
people during the day. He talked
business with Senator Jones, chair
man of the national committee; j. G.
Johnson, head of the executive COM
mittee; Charles A. Walsh, secretary of
the national committee; D. j. Cam
pau, national committeeman of Mich
-5an.
The platform to be adopted at Kan
sas City and the vice presidential
question, and especially the Towne-
Populist nomination angle of it were
considered at some length.
On the question of platform, the
trend of discussion forecasted to some
extent the differences of opinion which
1nay arise at Kansas City, even among
loyal Bryan men.
The question is whether the money
plank and other troublesome legacies
from 1896 shall be handled by reaf-
frmation of the Chicago platform in a
lump, or whether some planks of the
1896 platform, especially the money
plank, should be rewritten. Mr.. Bryan
favors rewriting much of the 1896 plat
form this year.

A SERIOUS Charge.

Excursion Train Last Sunday
Week.

Last Sunday week, when the regu-
Jar Grafton excursion train pulled out
Of this city, there were several drunken
men in the ladies' coach who were evil
IDENTIFY spelling for a fight. Before the
train reached Benwood four men were
into it, using beer bottles for weapons.
The fighting became so fierce that a
number of ladies got off at Benwood
and did not get on the train again
At Benwood, two of the men got out
when the train stopped in the upper
end of the yard, and fought it out on
the ground. The conductor sent to
Benwood, for the police. Two arrived
before the fight was over, but seeing
the big crowd gathered around they
went away again without making any
arrests, or even attempting 1T. The
train crew were helpless, owing to the
fact that the parties concerned were
accompanied by friends.
When the train reached Cameron,
two of the participants left the train
and order was restored. The matter
was reported to headquarters, and
John NJ Shorts, of this city head or
the company secret service in the State
was put in charge of the case.
Yesterday at Comeron, Shorts ar

The warrants were issued by Justice
Dunning on the charge of rioting and
disorderly conduct on trains. 1t is a
serious charge, the fine being not less
than $25 nor more than 5000. Crow
gave bond for his appearance at the
hearing, which has been set for the
18th at II a. m. Collins was brought
to this city and committed to the
county jail in default of bond. Collins
is said to have already served two
terms.
The action taken by the company is
most meritorious one. They are de-
termined to follow up every occasion
of the kind, so that their patrons will
be as safe from insult on one of the
company trains as they would be in
their own homes. They will prose-
cute the offenders to the fullest extent
of the law.

stating that the Republican Congress

endeavoring to collect as a campaign
contribution a part of the extra

made only small contribution so that
the amount collected will not exceed
$1,000 or 81 800 instead of $4,000 or
more, as had been expected. The ex-
ira months salary voted to employees
