of settling their controversy, and, by
its results, they will undoubtedly have

Beers treliked from 1t not for freedoms

When England bought the colony she paid
the Dutch for their slaves and set them
free. Not satisfied with this. and, ind

where they made cruel and heartesS

KANSAS HEARD FROM.

Just at this time when Democrats are
talking about getting together comes a
wall from bleeding Kansas. The Demo-
cratic State Convention was held on We'd
nesday last and resolutions We're adopted
binding the delegates to support Bryan
for the Presidency, and for Vice-Presl-
dent only a man who is now and was IN
1886 in full sympathy with the Chicago
MA form. Resolutions were adopted re-
affirming the national platform OF 1896,
and the following declaration was made
on the money question:
That the American people should have
a distinctively American system OF
finance, which, like our other govern
mental functions, should be forever free
from foreign ENHANCEMENT, domination, Or
influence; that Congress alone has the
power to coin and issue money, and has
no right to surrender to the national
banks the peoples prerosative to control
the volume of the currency: that we are
opposed to gold monometallism as Brit
itsh policy. un-American and anti-Amerl-
can. We favor the immediate restoration
of bimetallism as it existed in our firan-
cia! system prior to the demonetization
act of 1873.
That is where the fight will come in at
the Kansas City Convention. The Demo-
Gratis will be in favor Of a conservative
pla tforn1 on live issues Of the day, ignor-
ing free silver and other such questions
which split the party all to pieces in 1886,
while the Populists will demand that the
battle of 1896 be fought over again. If the
Populistic clement in the convention shall
rule. if the Kansas idea and the Nebraska
idea shall, prevail, the Democratic party
will be defeated before the convention is
adjourned
