the Great Preacher.
To the Editor Of The Tribune.

10 the Ed1rnT or ne lriDuHf.
Sir: Some days ago The Tribune contained
reference to the small park which it is proposed to
create adjacent to Plymouth Church. and which 1t
has been further proposed shall be named in honor
of Henry Ward Beecher. The writer of the
article may have been careless but was more prob
ably mised. and seemed to assume that this park
project originated in Plymouth Church and was
being pushed by the members of that church and
as part Of the general movement for a memorial
to Mr.. Beecher. AS chairman of the executive
committee of this memorial movement crave
space enough to say that the proposed park Is no
feature Of our enterprise DR.. Hills preached the
memorial In a Sunday morning sermon. On the
very day he waited upon by certain punlc
spirited not in any way connected with
Plymouth Church, who told him they had been Tor
some weeks working along the proper lines to pro
pose TO the Board of Estimate park on the uioek
where Plymouth Church stands. This they were
doing because they believed the neighoorhooq
needed small park. and they thought IL Would

DEMOCRATIC FAITH IN AMENDMENTS

70 the Editor OF Tbs Tribune.
Sir: Apropos OF the present agitation Of the So
called negro problem and the formidable agitation
which has for its aim the paving Of way that
might lead TO the ultimate repeal of the Fourteenth
md Fifteenth amendments I consider it timely to
call attention to the Democratic platform OF 1876.
which contained certain solemn pledges concerning
those amendments
wish you would reprint that part of the above
platform referring to the subject j. X
Nashville. Tenn, June /, 1903
The Democratic platform adopted at St
Louis on June g, 1876, on which Samuel }. Til
den ran for President. contained this as its sec
ond paragraph:
For the Democracy of the whole country, We
do here reatfirIn our faith in the permanence or
the Federal Union our devotion to the Consritu-
tion of the United States with 'ts amendments
universally accepted as final settlement OF the
controversies that engendered civil war, and DO
here record our steadfast confidence in the per-
petuity Of republican self-government.
