NEW YORK DEMOCRATIC PLAT
FORM.
New York world Says 1t Is Framed
in the Interests Of PIutocracy.


in the Interests of PIutocracy.
(From the New York World
Mr.. Mack must share the amaZement
of the World over Il pretended Demo
cratic, platform which, while reiterat-
ing Its abiding faith in the princi-
pies Of Democracy as against plutocra-
cy," Is framed in the interests Of the
very plutocracy it processes to de
nounce.
1t is platform for the protection
OF Wall street gamblers; for the pro-
lection of insurance criminals; for the
protection of traction thieves; for the
protection OF Ryan Hartman stock job
bers; for the protection of rich tax
dodgers for the protection of preda-
tory corporations. 1t is a betrayal of
Democratic principles; it Ia betrayal
Of the Democratic party; it is be-
trayal of the Democratic masses.
Standing before the people on such
Il platform, and on such a platform
alone. no Democratic candidate could
lie elected TO office either in New York
or in any State north of Mason and
Dixon's line. Fortunately fer the
Rochester nominees, most OF them
have public records which give the
lie to Murphy's corporation resolutions.

TIE
General Demand

Of tie Well-Informed of the World has
always been for simple, pleasant and
efficient liquid laxative remedy of known
value; a laxative which physicians couIc
sanction for family use because its COM
ponent parts are known to them to be
wholesome and truly beneficial in effect,
acceptable to the system and gentle, yet
prompt, in action.
In supplying that demand with its ex-
cellent combination of Syrup of Figs and
Elixir of SIENNA, the California Fig Syrup
Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies
on the merits of the laxative for its remark
able success.
That is enc of many reasons Why
Syrup Of Figs and Elixir of SIENNA is given
the preference by the Well-Informed.
To get its beneficial effects always buy
the genuine manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co., only, and for sale
by all leading druggists. Price fifty cents
per bottle.
