ON the questions which are at issue:
and an official is not at liberty to
use the authority vested in him to
urge personal views which have not
been submitted to the voters for their
approval. If one is nominated upon
a platform which is not satisfactory
to him, he must. if candid, either de-
cline the nomination, or, in accepting
it, propose an amended platform in
lieu of the one adopted by the con-
vention. No such situation, however,
confronts your candidate, for the
platform upon which 4 was nominat-
ed not only contains nothing from
whicn | dissent, but it specifically
outlines all the remedial legislation
which we can hope to secure during
the next four years.
Republican Challenge Accepted.
the distinguished statesman who
received the republican nomination
for president said. in his notification
speech: The strength of the repub-
lican cause in the campaign at hand
is the fact that we represent the poll
cies essential to the reform of known
abuses, to the continuance OF liberty
and true prosperity, and that we are
determined, as our platform unequiv-
ocally declares to maintain them and
carry them on
In the name of the democratic
party, / accept the challenge, and
charge that the republican party is
responsible for all the abuses which
now exist in the federal government,
and that it is impotent to accomplish
the reforms which are imperatively
needed. Further. | can not concur
in the statement that the republican
platform unequivocally declares for
the reforms that are necessary: on
the contrary. / affirm that it openly
and VIGOROUSLY disappoints the
hopes and expectations of reformers,

Mr.. Bryan's Acceptance

"Mr. Clayton and gentlemen of the
notification committee: | can not
accept the nomination which you
officially tender, without first ac-
knowledging my deep Indebtedness
TO the democratic party for the extra
ordinary honor which 1t has con-
ferred upon me. Having twice before
been candidate for the presidency,
in campaigns which ended in defeat,
third nomination, the result of the
free and voluntary act of the voters
of the party, can only be explained
by a substantially and undisputed
growth in the principles and policies
for which |, with multitude of 9th
ers. have contended. AS these prin-
ciples and policies have given me
whatever political strength | possess,
the action of the convention not only
renews my faith in them, but
strengthens my attachment TO them.
A Platform is Binding.
II shall. in the near future, pre-
pare a more formal reply to your
notification, and, in that letter of ac-
ceptance, will deal with the platform
in detail. 1t is sufficient. at this time.
to assure you that | am in hearty ac-
cord with both the letter and the
spirit of the platform. | endorse il
in whole and in part, and shall, if
elected, regard its declarations as
binding upon me. And, | may add. a
platform is binding as to what 1t
omits as well as to what it contains
According 10 the democratic idea, the
people think for themselves and Sc
lect officials to carry out their
wishes. The voters are the severe
igns: the officials are the servants,
employed for fixed time and at
stated salary to do what the severe
igns want done, and to do it in the
way the sovereigns want il done.
Platforms are entirely in harmony
with this democratic idea. A plat
form announces the party's position

So said Mrs. ]. B. Turney, daugh-

Continuing, Mrs. Turney said:

Mr.. Clayton said:
"Mr. Bryan: The national demo-
cratic convention that assembled at
Denver on July was truly repre-
sentative body of the people of
the United States. Harmony char
acterized its deliberations and all of
its conclusions were reached with
unanimity. 1t stood for the con-
servatism of government under d
written constitution and for the ap-
plication of democratic principles in
public affairs to meet the require
ments of progressive American civ
iliZation.
without the intervention of a
competitive ballot you were nominat-
ed for the office of president of the
United States. A committee, COM
posed of the permanent chairman
and one delegate from each state and
territory, was appointed to inform
you of your selection as the standard
bearer of your party in the coming
campaign Therefore, in pursuance
of the convention, this committee
here present, now brings to you this
message from a united and aggres-
sive democracy. Our great party is
confident of the righteousness of its
cause, and relying upon the support
of the people, is determined to rescue
the government of the republic from
the hands of the despoilers who have
exploited it for the benefit of favor
ties and to the injury of the masses
of plain people.
I'VE know that our party, plat
form and candidate stand for the
best interests of all the people. We
know that success is deserved. We
believe that our party and candidate,
animated by the most patriotic pur-
poses, will achieve victory in No

platform straddle or evasion. and

The Foot and Mouth Disease.

During the past ten days much has been
said through the city papers about the
foot and mouth disease which made its
appearance on the farm of Mr.. II. M.
Kneller, at Lineboro, Carroll county, his
entire herd of cattle being affected.
To stamp out this disease, which it is
said attacks animals only having cloven
hoofs, the U. S. and State officials have
taken every precaution. quarantining the
farm and entire state. The Tuesday
morning Sun gives the following account
of the procedure at Lineboro on Monday:
"The "a cattle and So hogs of Fl. M.
Kneller, at Lineboro, Carroll county, af-
fected with the foot and mouth disease
were killed and buried yesterday by DR..
f. H. Mackie, State Veterinarian. and
veterinarians connected with the United
States Bureau Of Animal Industry. The
Kneller farm will probably be quarantin-
ed until every trace of the disease is
eradicated by disinfection.
1.-The price allowed was $S05. 20 for the
"a cattle and 1896. 63 for the 81 hogs, a
total of 81, 300 S3 for all OF this sum
the State of Maryland will pay one third
and the United States Department of Ag-
ricuture the other two-thirds. The cat
tie were appraised by DR.. Mackie, DR..
| Arch Mcbride, of the Bureau of Animal
Industry, and Mr.. J. f. Warner, a cattle
dealer from whom Mr.. Kne,ler bought
his herd of II beef cattle.
"The killing was viewed by about so
farmers, who aggregated in the county
road, which is about 100 yards from the
burial pit, hole by 40 feet and 7 feet
deep. The killing began at and was
finished at o'clock. The hogs were
| thrown on top of the cattle in the pit and
thick layer of quick lime spread over
the carcasses. The hole was filled, the
earth being piled up in a mound.
1.-THE chickens on the farm will be dip
ped indisinfecting solution, and the horses
will be scrubbed. The barn, barnyard
and hogpen will be thoroughly disinfect-
3D.
, "The farmers of the neighborhood have
been considerably worked up over the
disease, and number of them who ship
pork and other produce to Baltimore de-
cided not to risk the market until the
quarantine has been lifted. They were
! told by the inspectors that their produce
could be brought to the city, and state
there is absolutely no danger from pork
and meat killed on farms which do not
have diseased cattle"
