Union With Honor.

St Louis Republic: The demo
cratic party has agreed upon a plat
form. The act marks a triumphant
union of democratic hosts. Every ele-
ment of the party has been allowed
full participation in the deliberations.
Every sentiment has been considered
and every claim and contest allowed
full development and value.
There have been strong presenta-
tions of views. An earnest hearing
has been given to all questions and
differences. In the end the entire
representation of the party has uni
ted in a conclusion. Democracy, like
IA great and indissoluble family, has
settled it's differences and found that
on vital issues it is one. 1t is a glO-
rious consummation and one crafty,
ing TO every true democrat in this
broad nation.
The result is a platform TO meet
the approval of every worthy class
and interest in the union. 1t declares
the fundamental principles of the
party as they affect immediate prob,
lens of national life.
The platform as it stands is com
prehensive as to all matters-and, in
the opinion of the united convention
conclusive upon these matters-ot
present-day Importance. The live is
sues have been adequately, sanely and
satisfactorily treated. Democratic
union without dissent embodies sanity
and understanding. The platform is
its complete expression. The treat
ment of the vital issues will accord
with the better and larger public
opinion of the country. The party
has taken the best ground.
As to honesty and economy in gov.
eminent, as to the trust and tariff
evils and the menace of Imperialism
democracy's attitude meets the tests
of conservatism and intelligence. II
is a progressive and vigorous, but
prudent democracy which is defined
in the platform.
Nothing more significant has mark
ed the politics of this nation for many
decades than the amicable consolida
| tiOn of ali the elements of the demo
cratic party. 1t is an event which
cannot be magnified; an event the i'm
portance of which cannot be exagger
ated. 1t will have pronounced effect
upon the country's career. 1t canno
fail now to be the subject of widest
| rejoicing by the democrats OF all sec
tions. DemOcracy'S days of estrange
and indivisibiiity means inyincibility.
Rock Island Argus., 1904-07-12

Emanating from the sahe sources
from which came prior to the demo-
cratic national convention, all sorts of
rumors. designed to cause mischief,
and rejecting upon the good faith of
the Illinois delegation, and the impOs-
sible attitude of certain distinguished
members of the delegation, now come
reports that followers of Bryan are
planning a bolt of the st. Louis ticket
and an alliance with the populists. As
was the case in the former instance,
these announcements, are as matter
of fact without the slightest founda-
ton. the wish being father to the
thought, and that is the beginning and
the end of it. The only bolt that has
developed from the action of the dem
ocratic national convention is that of
the Chicago Chronicle, which for eight
years has proven such a nuisance that
democrats were getting ready to read
il out anyway.
Rock Island Argus., 1904-07-12
Good Riddance.

The Chicago Chronicle has parted
company with the democratic party
and allied itself with the republican
party. according to editorial announce
ment appearing in its columns this
morning. The Chronicle has de
serted the democratic party be-
cause that papers dictations were
unavailing in the national con
vention at ST. Louis, and because
the party declined TO refuse considera-
tion to the twice chosen leader of the
party in national campaign. In eX-
PLANTATION of its attitude, the Chronicle
declares:
1T is bad enough TO have Mr.. Bryan
dominating radical democratic cOnven-
tions. When Mr.. Bryan is able to 81
lence a conservative democratic con
vention the situation becomes intoleT-
able. \ mixture of William Jennings
Organism and David B. Hillism is in
supportable.
The Chronicle is not in sympathy
with Mr.. Bryan's ideas. For eight
years il has refused to believe that
Mr.. Bryan'S ideas were acceptable to
the real democrats of the country.
The result at st. Louis appears to
end the discussion. He and Hill are
in control He and Hill have named
the ticket and made the platform.
"A timid eastern democrat, who
fondly imagined that he could be nom
mated as an unknown. has been placed
on the ticket with an octOgenarian
free silverite from West Virginia and
supplied with a platform which
amounts TO an Endorsement of the plat
forms of Chicago and Kansas City.
The populistic west and the reaction
ary south are again in alliance, with a
new leader it is true, but with no
change in principle and purpose. The
ticket bears the stamp OF populism.
There is not n plank in the platform
which was not modified by populism.
The democratic party is attached
to Organism. 1t is subservient to
Bryan. II has been persuaded against
its natural inclinations to nominate
an unknown candidate whom Bryan
has antagonized, but il has permitted
Bryan to do the rest. The democratic
party is Bryan and there is no reason
to suppose that its triumph under the
leadership of a man who voted twice
for Bryan and free silver, and boasted
of il. would be anything else than a
triumph for Bryan
''Disagreeing fundamentally with
this leader and this party in most
things and agreeing with the republi-
can party in the essentials of its creed,

Brutally Tortured.

A case came to light that for per
sistent and unmerciful torture has
perhaps never been equaled. Joe Col

years l endured insufferable pain from
rheumatism and nothing relieved me

little too much, or if you are subject
to attacks of Indigestion, the stomach
expands-swells,a and puffs up against
the heart. This crowds the heart and
shortens the breath. Rapid heart
beats and heart disease is the final
result. Kodol Dyspepsia Cure digests

Piles Upon Top of Piles.

Piles upon top of piles of people
have the piles. and DeWitt's Witch
Hazel Salve cures them. There are
many different kinds of piles, but if
you get the genuine and original Witch
Hazel Salve made by E. c. Dewitt &
Co.. OF Chicago, a cure is certain. H.
A Tisdale, of Summerton, s. c., says,
Il had piles 90 years and DeWitt's
Salve cured me after everything else
failed"

Judge Parker has been lifelong
and consistent democrat, man OF
sound views and moral courage, with
firmness of character that will com
mand the respect and confidence OF
the people. Conservative and indie
pendent citizens throughout the union
will be glad of the opportunity of
voting for him.
Rock Island Argus., 1904-07-12

After reading his joke book, re,
publican editor writes that the demo
Gratis may lose in 1904 because the
hall in which Parker was nominated
in st. Louis was on Thirteenth street.
He might have gone further and said
that thirteen people had entered the
convention before the fourteenth got
in. Oh, these superstitOus cut-ups!
