vention. In any event it is absolute

The news of Judge Parker's nominal

the reporter. as the athletic figure of
the judge appeared over the bow of
the barge from which he had been
diving.

rudy face breaking into a CHEEKY
smile in which satisfaction was undis-
guised. He asked for details of the
final vote, and displayed the liveliest
interest in every fact and figure at
the same time, refraining from the
slightest comment
When asked if he would say any
thing on the matter of his nomina-
ton he said: mo, 1 shall say nothing
whatever on the subject until l am
formally notified Of my nomination. "
VIM. F. Sheehan, who has done the
personal work for Judge Parker, and
August Belmont were jubilant over
the result. One of the most interest

CHAMP CLARK'S SPEECH.
Ills Address as Permanent Chairman of
the Convention.

st. Louis, July 11.-Champ Clark's
speech as permanent chairman of the
convention was as follows:
In his haste, King David said that
all men are liars. He had been in
Chicago while Senator Henry Cabot
Lodge was reading in the Republican
platform he would no doubt have PRO-
nounced the same opinion more leis-
urely, for surely there never was more
mendacity packed into the same
space in any document purporting to
be grave state paper. Shakespeare

And he but naked, though locked up
in steel,

corrupted

rel is just and we are in the right be
yond all cavil. To state it in a gen
eral way. our contention is that the
government shall be restored to the

DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM.
Adopted By The National Democratic
Convention In ST. Louis.

st. Louis, July 9.-The sub-commit-
tee Of the committee on resolutions
spent the entire day in perfecting the
details of the Democratic platform,
which follows:
l. Large reductions can easily
be made in the annual expenditure of
the government without impairment
of the currency of any branch of the
public service and we shall insist
upon the strictest economy and fru-
gality compatible with vigorous and
efficient civil, military and naval adj
ministration as a right of the people
too clear to be denied or withheld.
2. The enforcement of honesty in
the public service and through leg
islative investigation of those depart
ments of the government already
known to them with corruption, as
we'll as other departments suspected
of harbOring corruption, and the pun
ishment Of ascertained cOrruptionists
without fear or favor or regard to
persons. The persistent and deliber-
ate refusal of both the senate and
house of representatives to permit
such investigation to be made by
either branch of congress demon
strates that only by change in the
| executive and in the house OF repre-
Sentatives can complete exposure and
punishment of corruption be obtained.
The government should not permit
itself TO be robbed by entering into
contracts with convicted trusts or IN
lawful combination in restraint of in
terstate trade, existing in violation of
law. We believe that one of the best
methods Of procuring economy and
| honesty in the public service is to
have public officials from the occu-
pant of the white house down to the
lowest of them, returned as nearly as
may be TO Jeffersonian simplicity of
living.
| 8. We favor the nomination and
election of a president trained in the
ways of the constitution, who shall
see this face sternIy against execu-
| tive usurpation of legislative and ju-
! dicial functions, whether that usur-
patton be yelled under the guise of
executive construction OF existing
laws, or whether it take refuge in
the assertion of superior wisdom.
T. The Democratic party has been,

e1t opponent OF that class OF tariff leg

WRONG TRACK
Had To Switch.

Even the most careful person is apt
60 get on the wrong track regarding
food sometimes and has to switch
over.
When the right food is selected the
host of ails that come from improper
food and drink disappear, even where
the trouble has been of lifelong stand
ing.
From a child I was never strong
and had a capricious appetite and /
was allowed to eat whatever l fancied

biscuit, etc-so it was not surprising
that my digestion was soon out of

This happened three years ago and

SAVED CHILD'S LIFE.
Remarkable Cure of Dropsy by Dodd'ss
Kidney Pills.

Kidney Pills.
Sedgwick, Ark, July 1.-THE case
of w. S. Taylor's little son is looked
upon by those interested in medical
matters as one of the most wonderful
on record. In this connection his.
father makes the following statement:
Last September, my little boy had
Dropsy; his feet and limbs were
swollen to such an extent that he
could not walk nor put his shoes on.
The treatment that the doctors were
giving him seemed to do him no good
and two or three people said his days
were short, even the doctors, two OF
the best in the country told me he
would not get better. / stopped their
medicine and at once sent for Dodd's
Kidney Pills. 1 gave him three Pills
a day, one morning, noon and night
for eight days; at the end OF the
eighth day the swelling was all gone,
but to give the medicine justice, I
gave him eleven more Pills. l used
thirty-five Pills in all and he was en-
tirely cured. consider your medicine

ty-five Pills were given him, he could

Bryan Will Support Parker.

Mr.. Bryan left the convention hall
a few minutes before the nomination
was made unanimous but not before
he knew that Judge Parker was nom
mated. To several correspondents
who were waiting for him at his no.
tel he said he had nothing to add to
what he had said in the convention,
which was that he would support any
candidate nominated on the platform
he had assisted in making.
Il have not slept for hours" he
said, Good night" 1t may be ad-
ded that those of a superstitious turn
of mind may be encouraged by the
fact that Judge Parker was not nom
