caGo Platform, and Demand
Reconciliation of Bryan.

Columbus. o., June 14.-The demo-
cratic state convention was called to
order at the Auditorium ut 10: 40 n. m,
by Hon. William 5. Thomas, Of SPRING
field, chairman of the state commit
tee. Portraits of Bryan, Thurman,
Jackson. Mclean and others were con-
spicucus. Following is synopsis of
the platform:
We the democrats of Ohio. reaffirm our
adherence TO the democratic national plat
form adopted at Chicago in 1896.
The declaration of independence, the flag
stand together, as ernblems of human lib
erty and equal rights for all and where
one goes, all go. We. therefore, denounce
imperialism under any pretense as neces-
sarily leading 10 militarism, and as Who'll
ly foreign TO our system of government.
Trusts and mcnopolies. formed for
the purpose OF arbitrarily controlling pro-
duction and prices in the interest solely
of combined capital, If allowed to go. can
result only in Industrial serfdom for the
mass of people. We favor the re-
movai of all duties from imports monopo-
liked by trusts. We denounce the
currency law passed by the present con-
gress. which transfers to the banks the
entire control of paper currency, which
viii have the power to control the prices
of all property, and to stimulate or stran-
gle business on the other hand, by re-
quiring the government TO redeem all
forms of currency in gold II continues and
multiplies the evils of the endless chain"
and imposes upin the government the en-
tire burden OF supplying gold for export
whenever demanded and to obtain which
II must issue bonds when necessary. thus
necessitating not only perpetual debt,
but for a perpetually increasing debt
We demand that the general gov
eminent shall not only coin the metals,
but shall issue and regulate the volume
of paper currency also in the interest of
all the people. and that all currency in
tended to circulate as money shall be le-
gal tender. and be maintained at a parity
of value, and be regulated with a view to
maintaining stable price levels and safe
business conditions
We affirm anew our undiminished faith
in the acknowledged leader of our party
VIM. j. Bryan, and demand his nomina-
ton at Kansas City for president of the
United States. and the delegates elected
by this convention are instructed to 81
cast their votes

The mau stood still as a piece OF
stone
Stood sadly, gloomily there alone;
A lifelong settled idea he had
That his wife was good and he was
bad,
He thought il the woman went
down below
That he would cert ainly have to go;
That il she went down to the region
dim
There wasn't a ghost OF a chance
for him.
Slowly he turned, by habit bent,
To follow wherever the woman
went.
St. Peter standing on duty there,
Observed that the top OF his head
was bare,
He called the gentleman back and
said,
Friend, how long have you been
Thirty years." with Q weary sigh
And then he thoughtiully added
"Why"
st. Peter was silent. With head
bent down
He raised his hand and scratched
his crown,
Then seeming a different thought
to take,
Slowly half to himself he spake:
Thirty years with that womsn

No wonder tho man hasn't auy

Smoking is wicked, Drinks not

He smoked and drank-I should
think he would.

BY JOSEPH BERT SMILEY,


ST. Peter stood guard at the golden
With solemn mien and an air
sedate
When up on the top OF the golden
stair
A man and woman, ascending
there,
Applied for admission They came
and stood
Before ST. Peter, so great and good,
ia hope the City Of Peace to win
And asked St. Peter to let them in
The woman was tall, and lank, and
thin,
With a scraggy beardlet upon her
The man was short, and thick and
stout,
His stomach was built 30 it rounded
out,
His face was pleasant, aud all the
while
He wore kindly and genial smile,
The choirs in the distance the
echoes woke,
And the man kept still while the
woman spoke,
80, thou who guardost the gate"
said she.

thee
To let us enter the heavenly land
OF me, ST. Peter, there is no doubt,
There's nothing from heaven to bar
me out,
I've been to meeting three times
week,
And almost always I'd rise and
speak.
I've told the siGuers about the days
Wien they'd repent Of their evil
ways;
I've told my neighbors, I've told
them all
Bout Adam and Eve, and the
Primal Fall;
I've shown them what they'd have
to do
If they'd pass in with the chosen
few;
I've marked their path of duty
clear,
Laid out the plan for their whole
career
I've talked and talked TO them loud
and long,
Fer my lungs are good and my
voice is strong.
So, good st. Peter, you'll clearly see
The gate Of heaven is open for me,
But my old man, regret to say,
Hasn't walked ia exactly the narrow
way,
He smokes, and he drinks, and
great faults he's got,
And l don't known whether he'll
pass or not.
He never would pray with an earn.

Or go to the revival, or join in

So I had to leave him in sorrow
there
While 1, with the CHI osen, united in
prayer,
He ate what the pantry CHANGED
to afford
While 1, in my purity, sang to the
Lord.
And if cucumbers were all he got
It's chance if he merited them
or not.
But o, st. Peter, I Iowa him 50,
To the pleasure OF heaven please
let him go,

him in?
BY my grim gospel | know It's go
That the unrepentant must fry

But isn't There SEINE way you can see
That he may enter who's dear TO me2
It's narrow gospel by which I pray,

And say, St. Peter, it seems TO be
This gate isn't kept as it ought to

You ought to stand right by tie

And never sit down in that easy
