CHICAGO PLATFOBM A FRAUD Seekers of the Tarty Absolved Troa Allcg laece Becaise ol Its Dcpartsre Tron rudamcsul 1'riiciplesaid it ttmpt to Debase Nosey. Chicago, August 17. The executive committee of the national Democratic party was in session here today and Issued a call (or the national conven tion at Indianapolis. The call says? "The Democratic party Is the only existing political organisation with a history extending back to the birth of the republic. Party after party has attempted Its overthrow, some of which have achieved temporary triumphs. "Without variableness or the shadow of turning it has held fast to the fun damental principles of free government formulated by Its founders, and sub sequently enforced by its great lead ers from Jackson to Cleveland. Every true Democrat has Insisted upon a strict observance of the mandates of the federal constitution, and ot the limitations therein prescribed as well as upon the loyal support of all Insti tutions thereby created, aa guarantees of the liberty It sought to perpetuate. We profoundly disbelieve in the ability of the government, through paternal legislation or supervision, to Increase the happiness of nations, and we are opposed to all attempts to conjure comfort into the homes of It citlxens, or wealth Into their pockets. "Jefferson believed that It was the function ot the government to provide the people with an honest and stable medium of exchange, thus enabling them to transact their business safely and conveniently In every mart and market of the world. He reprobated every attempt to supply money by means ot legislation and held that the only value which It can possess is by reason ot those qualities that render it acceptable to the world when unsup ported by any legislative flat. He be lieved In the greatest measure of free dom ot trade and industry compatible with the necessity to qbtaln by consti tutional means an adequate revenue for the support of the government. "Delegates to the convention held at Chicago were authorised and had pow er to proclaim a platform embodying views of the true solution of the partic ular problems of government now agi tating the nation, but upon condition that such a platform should be con sistent with the cardinal principles held by the party throughout Its existence. Principles constitute an esesntlal ele ment of a party's life, and If they are abandoned the party ceases to exist. "It was, therefore, not within the power of any majority of the delegates assembled at Chicago to bind, the Dem ocrats of the Volted States to a plat form Inconsistent with the party's original principles, or to any action that should result in their surrender. They proclaimed a sectional combina tion o( the (South and West against the North and East They Impeached the honesty and patriotism of President Cleveland, who under exceptional em barrassments, produced by past errors of legislation, has heroically maintain ed the honor and integrity of the re public. "Against the protest of more than one-third of the delegates In attendance they promulgated a platform at va riance with the most essential prin ciples of the Democratic party. This platform Is in .its policies most dan gerous to the welfare and life of free government. The platform proposes to degrade the coin of the United states by means of the free, unlimited and Independent coinage of stiver fry our government, and proposes to exer cise the power of the nation to compel an acceptance of such depreciated coins at more than their nominal value, thereby working and Injustice to cred itors, and defrauding the currency by an expulsion of gold from circulation. "The Chicago platform having thus departed from recognised Democratic principles and promulgated doctrines new and strange to Democracy, all Democrats are absolved from any ob ligation to support its program. More than this, as the doctrines announced are destructive of the national honor and private obligation, tend to create sectional and class distinctions and enter discord and strife among the people, all good citizens of the re public are bound to repudiate them and exact eevry lawful means to Insure the defeat of candidates who represent those false doctrines." HEADQUARTERS NEWS. Washington, August 17. At Republi can headquarters it was announced to day that extracts from Bryan's tariff speech were being prepared for dis tribution to show his strong free trade leaning. Senator Sherman's speech of August SO, 1894, explaining the "crime of '73," is also being prepared as a document for distribution. Senator Butler, of North Carolina, chairman of the Populist committee, is expected here tonight to meet the exec utive committee tomorrow. The meet ing of the committee tomorrow may be quite stormy, as there Is a belief that Watson and the middle-of-the-road leaders are in the majority. There Is a possibility that the Populist head quarters may be removed to Chicago. The committee decided at St. Louis to locate their headquarters here, but a sentiment has grown up since then In favor of Chicago. A WAR ON ASTORIA HARBOR The 0. R. R. & X.

The camel Is a beast of great strength and endurance. Nothing hurts it until the proverbial "last straw" is added to Its burden. The human digestive sys tem is very much like a camel. It is really astonishing how much abuse it will stand. Sometimes, however, some thing worse than usual will be eaten, and will go through the stomach into the bowels, and there it will stick that's constipation. Nine-tenths ot aU human sickness is due to constipation. Some of the simplest symptoms are coated tongue and foul breath, dizzi ness, heartburn, flatulence, sallownesa. distress after eating, and lassitude, A little thing will cause constipation, and a little thing will relieve it. Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets are a certain cure for constipation. They are tiny, sugar coated granules, mild and natural In their action. There Is nothing Injurious about them. Sold by druggists.
