were nominated at Indianapolis by the
National Democrstio convention for
president and Tioe-president on a brief
bat empbatio platform wbioh repndi'
atei the doctrines enunciated by the
Chioago convention. Indorse! President
Cleveland and hia administration in
glowing terms, deolares for the gold
standard, tariff for revenue only, lib
eral shipping laws, ourrenoy reform,
olvil servioe and eoonomy in public ex
peditnres.
The spirit that animated the conven
tion was contained in this declaration
of the platform:
"The Democratic party baa survived
may defeats, bat it ooald not survive a
victory won in behalf of the doctrine
and policy proclaimed in its name at
Chicago."
And so, in the language of Mr. Bam
mond, of Georgia, this convention
placed in the hands of other nominees
their banner and bade them fling it
forth, "skyward and seaward, high and
wide."
The real work of the convention was
soon transacted when it was reached.

extravagant appropriations beyond the

"We arraign and condemn the Pop

Republican party for increasing thess
conditions, which are applied in justi

When the nominees for president
were called for, it was apparent that
Palmer would be nominated over his
protest, as the opposition to Bragg had
concentrated upon him. These two
names were the only ones presented to
the convention.
Some of the nominating speeches
were eloquent and full of fire. Kil
bourne, of Michigan, placed Senator
Palmer in nomination, and there was a
aeries of seconding speeches.
' Burr W. Jones, of Wioaonsia, nomi
nated General Bragg,, the "hero of
fifty battles and the oommander of the

The roll-call developed an over

Palmer, but it proceeded to the end.

The Platform.
The platform adopted by the Nation
al Demooratio oonveniton was as fol
lows: -
"This convention has assembled to
uphold the principles upon which de
pend the honor and welfare of the
American people, in order that the
Democrats throughout the Union may
unite their patriotic efforts, to avert
disaster from their country and ruin
from their party.
"The Demooratio party is pledged to
equal and exact justice to all men of
every creed and condition; to the larg
est freedom for individuals consistent
with good government; to the preserva
tion of the federal governemnt in its
constitutional vigor and to the support
of the states in all their just rights; to
eoonomy in publio expenditures; to the
maintenance of the publio faith and
sound money," and it is opposed to pa
ternalism and all class legislation.
"The declarations of the Chicago
convention attack individual freedom,
the right of private contract, the inde
pendence of the judiciary and the au
thority of the president to enforce the
federal laws. They advocate a reckless
attempt to increase the price of silver
by legislation, to the debasement of
of oar monetary standard through un
limited issues of paper money by the
government. They abandon for Re
publican allies the Demooratio osnse,
and tariff reform to oonrt the favor of
the protectionists to their fiscal heresy.
. "Id view of those and other grave
departures from democratic principles,
we oannot support the candidates of
that convention, nor be bound by its
acts. The Demooratio party has sur
vived many defeats, but oonld not sur
vive a victory won in behalf of the doc
trine and policy proclaimed in its name
at Chioago.
"The conditions, however, which
make possible such utterances for the
national convention are the direct re
sult of class legislation by the Repub
lican party. It still proclaims, as it
has for years, the power and duty of
the government to raise and maintain
prices by law, and it proposes no rem
edy for existing evils exoept oppressive
and on just taxation.
. "The national democracy, here con
vened, therefore renews its declaration
of faith in democratic principles es
pecially applicable to the conditions of
the times. Tsxstion, tariff, exoise or
direct, is rightfully .Imposed' only for
publio purposes, and not for private
gains. Its amount is justly measured
by publio expenditures, which should
be limited by scrupulous economy.
The sum derived by the treasury is de
termined by appropriations made by
CO tigress.
"The demand of the Republican
party for an increase of tariff tax has

We denounce the pretense that dis
crimination duties will promote ship
ping, and we declare that scheme is an
invitation to aommerical warfare upoi

light of onr great commercial treaties,

shipping, white greatly increasing
ocean irelgnts on agricultural ana
manufactured products.
'The experience of mankind hx
shown that, by their natural qualities
gold is the necessary mone of the large
affairs of commerce and business, while
silver is conveniently adapted to minor
transactions, snd the most benefloial
use of both together can be insured
only by the adoption of the former as
the standard of monetary measure and
the maintenance of ailver at a parity
with gold by its unlimited coinage un
der such safeguards of law. Thus is
the largest possible enjoyment of both
metals gained, with the value uri
versally accepted throughout the world,
whioh constitutes the only practical
currency, assuring the most stable
standard, and espeaoially the best and
safest money for all who earn a liveli

bandry. They cannot suffer when paid
in the best money known to man, bat
are peculiar and most defenseless vio
tlms of a debased and fluctuating cur
rency, which offers continued profits to
the money-changer, at their coat.

terest of the masses and equal justice j

legislation of 1834 and 185S tbe gold

eminent from banking and currency is

"To this long-established demooratio
policy we adhere, and insist upon the
maintenance of the gold standard and
of the parity therewith of every dollar
issued by the government, and are
firmly opposed to the free snd unlimit
ed coinage of silver and to the oompul
gory purchase of silver bullion.
But we denounce also further, tbe
maintenance of the present costly
patch-work system of national paper
currency aa a constant source of injury
and periL We assert tbe necessity of' Saint
such an intelligent currency system as j
will confine tbe government to ; its
legitimate functions, completley sep

A REMARKABLE DISCOVERY.
Instruments Found la a Monad Thought

Pittsburg, Sept.
is manifested here over the discovery
of s number of implements in a mound
at McKee s Rocks, whioh is being sx
cava ted for scientific purposes. Tbe
mound is believed to have been bnilt
by the anoient mocnd builders and the
implements found today plaoe the
mound on par with those that have
been explored elsewhere. The work is
being done under the direction of
Thomas Harper, of this oity, who be
lieves that the specimens found here
are not less than 1,000 years old, and
prove that they were made by the most
anoient people that inhabited this
country. Bone needles or awls were
included in the find and Mr. Harper
says they can be partially restored.
A tomaabwk, whioh he regards as
not being less than 1,000 yara old, was
also found. The same kind of weapons
are found on the British isles. Mr.
Harper says that the weapon is similar
to the baloith, whioh was used for
striking. It is made of gneiss. He
considers tbst an extraordinary dis
covery. The bone implement or flaker
is regarded by Mr. Harper as possessing
unusual interest. This is the imple
ment with which primitive men, as
well as anoient people, made flint in
struments. Mr. Harper maintains
that this last find proves that the
mound was built by mound builders.
Since this mound was opened
month ago sixteen skeletons have been
found, many of them being of gigantio
stature.

London, Sept 7. Captain Hunter,

that Captain Albert Dreyfus, sentenced

In order to secure a regular salting
with a large herd of cattle It is neces
sary to nave salt continually before
them for use at their leisure. Many
farmers use rock salt, scattering It
about over the pasture, but even with
this there Is waste In wet weather, and
some danger that cattle will lick out
large lumps In such a way as to make
cavity, which sometimes will fill with
water and become brine, and too mnch
of this will produce more or Jess disor

much waste In wet times from melting.

Almost all sandy soils lack potash.
Even when It Is present, unless ther
; is also some vegetable matter In the
soil to furnish carbonic acid gas, the
potash forms a union with tbe sand,
I and thenceforward can only be releas
ed as it Is some way made soluble. The
benefit from applications of potash to
sandy soil is direct They supply the
kind of plant food In which It Is dnfl
clent. But the use of potash In the
form of ashes Is not restricted to sandy
soils. Most heavy soils have more or
less potash In Insoluble form. ' As the
caustic potash In the ash changes It
makes the potash and phosphate In the
soli near it soluble also, and thus pot
ash will sometimes oblige the soil to
supply to the plants the phosphates
they require to make a grain crop. But
In such cases the potash does not take
the place of the mineral. It simply
enables the plant to get phosphate that
was In the soli but not In soluble form.
