Approves of the PLATFORM.
Il do not care to enter at the present
time upon a discussion of the issues pre-
sented by the platform adopted at kan
sas City l can say. however that il Is,
in my judgment, the greatest platform
adopted in recent years, if not in the
history of the country Il is a greater
platform than the Chicago platform, for
1t indorses the principles set forth in
that platform, and in addition thereto.
presents the party's position upon several
new and vital questions. There is no
evasion about the platform. no ambiguity
and no double dealing. i is as clear as
the tones OF the bell as clear as the
tones of a Liberty bell. 1t deals honestly
with the American people. Its candidates
are pledged to its maintenance.
When the convention came to the Sc
lection of a candidate for Vice President.
there was diversity of opinion Some
preferred an Eastern candidate, believing
that he would strengthen the ticket III
the East. Some preferred Mr. Towue,
knowing or the sacrifice which he made
for principle, ana OF his de-
votion 10 the principles SET
forth in the Chicago platform
But the choice fell upon distinguished
Illinois Democrat, who once discharged
with great credit the duties of the Office.
In the campaign of '9S when plutocracy
and Democracy met face TO face,
Adlai E. Stevenson was an able
and courageous defender Of the
cause of Democracy. During the cam
paign he spoke in seven of the close
states.
Il know that some of our allies felt
grieved that they were not given the sec
ond place upon the ticket, but ] am sure
that they cannot feel unkindly toward
one like Mr.. Stevenson who was loyal To
the ticket nominated at Chicago and who
was able to defend the magnificent party
creed set forth at Kansas City.
In this campaign, issues are greater
than men. l shall not ask anyone TO vote
our ticket merely because its the ticket oil
the party. it deserves support because IL
stands for the loClaratio OF Indcp cpauGenCe
in dealing with the Philippines and for the
cial privileges for none in all domestic
questions"
Gen. J. B. Weaver also spoke at some
length, outlining the work to be done by
the Democratic Silver Republicans ana
Populist parties and appealing for har-
mony for the common cause. He also paid
tribute to Mr.. Stevenson's S record in Con-
gress.

STORY OF THE FIGHTING.
How the Allies Withstood the At
tack on Tien Tsin.

TACK on I1en IS1n.
Tien Tsin. Thursday, July 5.-Yesterday
large forces of Chinese troops attacked
the settlement from two directions-one
from the western arsenal and the other
upon the railway station on the opposite
bank of the river.
The Chinese evidently now have a more
capable commander. The attack from the
arsenal was directed upon what is prob
ably the weakest point of the defense
which has hitherto not been pressed.
The Chinese advanced on this side across
an open plain, without cover and the
attack was easily repulsed by the British
guns.
The enemy made a simultaneous attack
upon the station with a large infantry
force, covered by the fire of eleven guns.
The British replied with two or H. NJ. S.
Terrible's 12-pounders and five smaller
ish, French, Russian and Japanese infah-
try moved out to deal with the Chinese
infantry attacks.
The Chinese artillery attack was excel
lent, and the allied troops suffered severely
from well-directed shell fire. The Jap
anese, whose behavior was splendid, exc
cuted a well-conceived movement and sue
ceeded in turning the ChlneSe leIt ana
driving the enemy from their strong posi-
ton among the irrigation trenches. The
Chinese retired to the native city, and the
allied infantry then withdrew and the af-
fair became an artillery duel, lasting un-
til darkness, with little damage to either
side
A British regiment of Cinnamon. which
was engaged. proved very steady under
fire.
The casualties of the allies have not
been ascertained, and it is impossible to
estimate the enemy's loss.
A welcome addition TO the defense was
received yesterday in the shape of two
more of H. NJ. 5. Terrible's "twelves."
Painted on their carriages is the inscrlD-
ton "Ladysmith to Tien-Tsin-imme-

The Algerine to-day sent two four-tnch
guns, which will do much toward equal
izing the artillery strength of the allies
with that of the enemy.
Most of the women and children left to-
day. and the remainder will follow as OPP
rortunity offers Two thousand Japanese
troops landed at Taku to-day, and 1900
more are expected within a few days.
