Chicago, Oct. 14.-In broad daylight,

ell, at 1879 ST. Lawrence venue,

NEW YORK DEMOCRATIC PLAT
FORM,
New York World Says 1t Is Framed
in the Interests Of ~PIutocracy.
lErom the Naw York WORLDLY

(From the New York World.)
Mr.. Mack must share the amaZement
OF the World over a pretended Demo
cratic platform which, while reiterat-
ing .'its abiding faith in the princi-
pies of Democracy as against p%lutocra-
cy," Is framed in the interests Of the
very plutocracy it processes to de-
nounce.
1t is a 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-Harriman 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 is a betrayal
Of the Democratic party; 1t is a be-
travail Of the Democratic masses.
Standing before the people on such
a platform, and on such a platform
alone. no Democratic candidate could
be elected to Office either in New York
or in any State north Of Mason and
Dixon's line. Fortunately for the
Rochester nominees, most of them
bave public records which give the
lie to Murphy's corporation resolutions.
