Evidently this declaration was the
irreducible minimum of what could
be said by the party if it wished to
claim that the gold standard was safe
under its rule. Nothing in it to adj
NIT that the advocates of silver were
wrong in the past; everything in it
to indicate that it is owing solely to

bare, bald acknowledgment of the

only alleged that the Democratic

Tommy Visualizes His

and methods of education are used
which TO the unenlightened mind

For instance, the children sing a

HOW ST. LOUIS ANSWERED
CHICAGO.

In the Republican National plat
form adopted at Chicago last month,
appeared the money question:
I'VE believe it to be the duty of the
Republicsn party to uphold the gold
standard and the integrity and value
of our national currency. The main
tenance of the gold standard, estab-
lished by the Republican party can
not safely be committed to the Dem
ocratic party, which resisted its adop-
ton, and has never given any proof
since that time of belief in it or fidel-
ity to it,
Here is an explicit charge against
the Democratic party-the charge
that the maintenance of the gold
standard cannot safely be committed
to the Democratic party, which resist
ed it's adoption, and has meyer given
any proof since that time of belief in
it or fidelity to it."
Now, with this declaration staring
it in the face, there are two courses
open to the Democratic party; and
assuming it to be party possessed
of ordinary sense and ability, only
two. 1t might have shown, in it's plat
form of 1904, either that it continued
to be opposed to the gold standard, as
it was in 1896 and in 1900-in which
case, along with the odium that went
with such opposition, it would have
got the credit of courage and out
spokeness. Or it might have ack-
nowledged the gold standard as an
accomplished fact, and thus got rid
of that odium. What it actually did
was neither of these things. With
the gold-standard men unquestion-
ably in an overwhelming majority in
the convention, the subject was nat
urally dealt with, III the first instance,
by the adoption, by the sub-commit-
tee on platform, of this very carefully
worded, but explicit plank

POPULlST PLATFORM AND ITS
NOMINATIONS.

Public attention has been so absorb
ed in speculation concerning the out
come of the Democratic national con-
YentiOn at st. Louis, last week, that
another national Convention, also
held last week, has been almost en-
tirely overlooked. This was the con-
vention of the Populist party, which
met at Springfield, ILL.,, adopted
platform and nominated candidates
for President and Vice-President of
the United States.
The platfor m reaffirms adherence to
the basic truths of the Omaha plat
form of 1902 and of the subsequent
platforms of 1896 and 1900" 1t may
be remembered that the platform of
fs9a-fayored a system of government
warehouse for the storage of farm
products, upon which advances or
loans should be made from the nation
al treasury, and other equally centra-
LIKING ideas, such as government own
ership of railroads and telegraphs,
abolition of child labor by national
legislation sc. The adoption of these
theories did not prevent a union of
the Populists and Democrats in 1896
and 1900, on the issue of free silver,
but their combined strength was not
equal to that of the Republicans. The
PopuIists have reiterated, in the
Springfield platform. the doctrines
referred to; have declared that all
money should be issued by the gen
eral government; that the referendum
should be resorted to on an public
questions; that alien ownership of
land should be prohibited; that cor
porations, being the creatures of the
government, should be subjected to
such governmental regulations and
control as will adequately protect the
public, sc.
On this platform the convention
nominated Hon. Thomas E. Watson,
of Georgia. for President, and Thorn
as H. Tribbles, of Nebraska, for Vice
President. Mr.. Watson, the candidate
for President, was formerly Demo
crat and was Cleveland elector at
large in Georgia, in 1888. In 1890 he
was elected to Congress as a Populist,
and in 1896 was nominated for Vice
President by the Populist national
convention, which endorsed Mr.. Brv-
an, the Democratic candidate for the
Presidency. OF Mr.. Tribbles, the
candidate for Vice-President, we
know nothing.
Almost unheralded as these nomi-
nations haye been they may have an
important bearing on the result of
the cleo ton in November and, 'it;may
be added, ARE not likely to draw sup
port from the ranks of the Republi-
cans.

JUDGE PARKER AND HIS PARTY

The Philadelphia Press says: After
a long and turbulent session the De-
mooratic convention finally adjourn
ed early Sunday morning with an an
CRY acquiescence in Judge Parker's
explosive proclamation of his own
platform on the gold standard, and
with the nomination of ex-senator
Henry g. DAYS., of West Virginia, as
the candidate for Vice President.
Judge Parkers unexpected tele-
gram was a thunder clap. 1t threw
the convention first into passionate
uproar and Indignation and then in
to sullen and resentful helplessness.
The immediate impulse was to throw
overheard the presumptuous candi-
date who condemned and spit upon
the convention and platform, and
plunged into a wild struggle for a
new standard bearer. But it did not
take long for even the embittered
leaders who felt that they had been
deceived, misled and put in grotes-
que position to see that this would
only aggravate their troubles, and
that, CALLING as it was, they had bet
ter swallow their humiliation and
find some way out of the dilemma.
The result was an answer to Judge
Parker which was equivalent to say
infr. .ENn 10 of 81
yes on the money question; we are
hopelessly divided; we can't say any,
thing, and you can do as you please. ~
1t is plain from all reports and
from every act that the convention
was the most disorderly the most in
ept, the most vacillating and inconse-
quent of any within public memory.
1t was incapable in it's speeches, riot
GUS in its conduct, and double faced
in its action. Many able men partici-
patedinits counsels, but the deep seat
ed faint of a reckless, irresponsible Or
ganization seemed to infect its whole
being. The majority were half heart
ed and uncertain in their beliefs and
the minority were aggressive and de-
faint. They reached nominal har-
mony through violent discord only
by finally agreeing on suppression
and silence. The whole proceeding
from beginning to end was typical of
an ineffective party which is unfit for
government and disqualified even for
serious and competent opposition.
Alter commenting on Judge Par
ker's bold act in sending the telegram
the Press says further:
1t still leaves all the broad, com
handing reasons for defeating him
and re-electing President Roosevelt,
and it impresses the duty of enforcing
them. The country will not trust the
party of Judge Parker which has
shown its unregenerate qualified at
st. Louis, and it swill not forget that,
though he himself accepts the gold
standard, he represents and embodies
the Democratic narrowness and mis-
direction of administration and the
] Democratic reactionary policies of
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1904-07-14

government He is against protec-
ton, against large Anericanism,
against the American spirit and
achievements of the last eight years.
His objection to the st. Louis plat
form on one point implies his accept
ance of all others. We welcome his
declaration on the one point and what
it shows, but on the broad field of
public issues he is a Democrat of Dem
ocrats, and the country in its march
of progress does not want the paralyz-
ing arm of any disbelieving Demo
crat.

virginia in Convention at

The Republican state convention
at Wheeling opened Tuesday after
noon and w. NJ. o. Dawson, of
Charleston, was nominated for gov
ernor, defeating Chas. F. Teter, of
Philippi. The convention was the
most demonstretive in the history of
the state. Senator Stephen B. Elk
ius was chairman. At one time
when he was out on a committee, the
convention became so unruly that it
was necessary to send for him.
The Dawson people forced through
rulings dispensing with the commit
tee on credentials. They then succeed
ed in nominating their man about
nine o'clock by vote of 467 to 1926.
The bitterness of the fight was the
result over tax reform. Dawson is
areform man.
Mr.. Dawson who has been prom
inent in West Virginia politics in
various positions of trust for a great
many years, is man of sterling quail
tiles. He is native Garrett countian
having been born at Bloomington,
