John M. Palmer, of Illinois, and
Aimon Bolivar Buokner, of Kentucky,
two white haired veterans of the war,
rival commanders of the bine and gray,
were nominated at Indianapolis by the
National Democratic convention for
president and vice-president on a brief
but emphatic platform which repudi­
ates the doctrines enunciated by the
Chicago convention, indorses President
Cleveland and his administration in
glowing terms, declares for the gold
standard, tariff for revenue only, lib ­
eral shipping laws, currency reform,
civil service and economy in publio ex
peditures.
The Bpirit that animated the conven­
tion was contained in this declaration
of the platform:
‘ ‘ The Democratic party has survived
may defeats, but It could 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. Hum
m»nd, 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
. v v \
John M I'ctlme.r-
When the nominees for president
were called for, it was apparent that
Palmer would be nominated over his
protest, as the opposition to Bragg hud
oonoeutruted upon him. These two
names were the only onos presented to
the convention.
Borne of the nominating speeohes
were eloquent and full of tire. Kil-
bourne, of Miobigun, placed Senator
Palmer in nomination, and there was a
series of seoonding speeches.
Burr W. Jones, of Wicsonsiu, nomi­
nated General Bragg, the “ hero of
fifty battles and the commander of the
'iron brigade.’ ”
The roll-call developed an over­
whelming majority in favor of Senator
Palmer, but it proceeded to the end,
Palmer receiving 7 6 7 votes and
Bragg 124'i.
By a subsequent motion Senator
Palmer's nomination was made unani­
mous.
There never was any doubt about
General Buckner's nomination for vioe-
preddent, add he wun elected by accla­
mation.
T h f I * l» t f o r m .
The platform adopted by the Nation­
al Democratic oouveuitou was as fol­
lows:
‘ ‘This convention has assembled to
uphold the principles upon which de­
pend the hoeor and welfare of the
American people, in order that the
Democrats throughout the Union may
unite thoir patriotic efforts to avert
disaster from their country and ruin
from their party.
‘ ‘The Democratic 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 tho preserve
tion of the federal governeuiiit m its
constitutional vigor atid to the support
of the states in all their Just rights; to
economy in public expoiiditutea; to the
maintenance of the public faith and
sound money, and it is opposed to pa­
ternalism and all olass legislation
"T h e 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 our monetary standard through un­
limited issues of paper money by the
government. They abandou for Ke-
publioan allies the Democratic cause,
and tariff reform to court the favor of
the protectionists to their fiscal heresy.
‘ ‘ In view of those and other grave
departures from democratic principles,
we cannot support the candidates of
that convention, nor be bound by its
acta. The Democratic party has sur­
vived many defeats, but could not sur­
vive a viotory won in behalf of the doo-
trine and policy proclaimed in ita name
at Chicago.
"T h e conditions, however, which
make possible such utterances for the
national convention are the direct re­
sult of olass legislation by the Kepub-
lican party. D still proclaims, as it
has for years, the power and duty of
the government to raise and maintain
prioes by law, and it proposes no rem­
edy for existing evils except oppressive
and unjust taxation.
"T h e national democracy, here con­
vened, therefore renews its declaration
of faith in democratic principles es­
pecially applicable to the oonditiona of
the times.
Taxation, tariff, excise or
direct, is rightfully imposed only for
public 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
congress.
‘ ‘The demand of the Republican
party for an Increase of tariff tax has
ita pretext in the deficiency of revsaua,
which has its oanses in the stagnation
of trade and reduced consumption, doe
entirley to loss of confidence that has
followed the Populist threat of free
oolnage and the depredation of our
money and the Republican practice of
extravagant appropriations beyond the
needs of good government.
‘ ‘ We arraign and condemn the Pop­
ulistic conventions of (Jhioago and 81.
Louis for their co-operation with the
Republican party for increasing these
conditions, which are applied in justi­
fication of the heavy increase of the
burdens of the people and further resoit
to protection. We therefore denounce
protection and its ally, the free coinage
of silver, as schemes for the personal
profit of the few at the expense of the
many, and oppose the two parties
which stand for these schemes as hot-
tile to the people of the republic, whose
food and shelter, comfort and property,
are attacked by bigber taxes and depre­
ciated money.
" fn fine, we reaffirm the <?e nocratio
doctrine of a tariff for revenue only;
we demand that henceforth modern and
liberal policies toward American ship­
ping shall take the place of our imita­
tion of restrictive statutes of the 14th
century, which were abandoned by
every maritime power but the United
States, and whioh. to the nation’s
humiliation, have driven American
capital and enterprise to the use of
alien flags and alien crews; have made
the stars and stripes an almost un
known emblem in foreign oountries
and have virtually extinguished tbi
race of American seamen
‘ ‘ We denouuoe the pretense that dis
crimination duties will promote ship
ping, and we declare that scheme is an
invitation to commerii-al warfare upoi
the United States, on American in the
light of our great oominercial treaties,
offering no gain whatever to American
shipping, while greatly increasing
ocean freights on agricultural and
manufactured products.
“ The experience of mankind hs
shown that, by their natural qualitie
gold is the necessary money of the larg
affairs of commeroe and business,while
silver is conveniently adapted to minor
transactions, and the most benefloiat
use of both together can be insured
only by the adoption of the former as
the standard of monetary measure and
the maintenance of silver at a parity
with gold by its unlimited coinage un
der such safeguards of law. Thus ia
tho largest possible enjoyment of both
metals gained, with the value uri-
vursally accepted throughout the world,
whioh constitutes the only practical
ourrency, assuring the most stable
standard, and espescially the best and
safest money for all who earn a liv e li­
hood by labor or the products of hus­
bandry. They cannot suffer whon paid
in the best money known to man, but
are peculiar and most defenseless vic­
tims of u debased and fluctuating cur­
rency, whioh offers oontinned proflts tc
the money-changer, at their oost.
"R ealizin g these truths, demonBtrat
ed by long publio inconvonieuoe and
loss, the Democratio party, in the in­
terest of the masses and equal justice
to all, prnotloally established by the
legislation of 1884 and 1858 the gold
standard of monetary measurement,
and likewise entirely divorced the gov­
ernment from banking mid ourrency is­
sues.
" T o this long-establishod democratio
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 fri e and miliniit
ed coinage of silver and to the compul­
sory purchase of silver hiiliion.
“ But we denounce also further, the
maintenance of the present costly
patch-work system of national piper
currency as a constant source of injury
ami peril. We assert the necessity of
such ail intelligent currency system as
w ill coniine the government to Its
legitimate functions, ooinpletley sep
arated from tho banking bu-tness, and
afford to all sections of onr country a
uniform, safe amt elastio bank cur­
rency under government supervision,
measured in volume by the needs of
business.
"T h e patriotism, fidelity and courage
with whioh President < levoland has
fulfilled his great public trust, the
vigorous character of Ins administra­
tion, its wisdom and energy in tho
maintenance of civil order ni d the en­
forcement of the laws, its equal regard
for the rights of every class and every
section, its firm and dignified conduct
of tho foreign affairs, ami its sinrdy
persistence in upiiulding tho credit and
honor of the uatimi, is fully recognized
by the Dcmcotatlo party, and w ill se­
cure him a place in history besirie the
Father of the Republic
We also oi m
mend the administration for the great
progress made in reform of the publio
service, aud we indorse its efforts to ex­
tend tho merit system still further; we
demand that no backward step be
taken, but that tho reform be support­
ed and advanced until the uinh rno-
cratio sytem of appointment »b ill be
eradicated. We deiiisiil strict economy
tu appropriation» ami in the adminis­
tration of government. We favor arbi­
tration for the settlement of internation­
al disputes. We favor a liberal pulley
of pensions to deserving soldiers and
sailors of the United States
"T h e supremo court of the United
States was wisely established by the
framers of onr constitution as one of
the three oo-ordinate branonei of gov­
ernment, and its independence and au­
thority to iutopret law without fear or
favor must be maintained. We con­
demn all efforts to defame the tribunal
or impair the confidence aud re­
spect which it ha» deservedly had.
The Democratic party ever hn» main­
tained and over w ill maintain the su­
premacy of the law, the independence

violability of oontrset and the obltga
tion of all good cttixens to resist ■ very

the good order of society, in which are
bound up the peace and happiness of
our people. Believing these principles
to be essential to the well W ing of the
republic, wo submit them to the con-
sidetation of the American people."
St. Louis, bept. 7.— The vast estates
of Prince Lobaiioff-Rostovsky w ill pass
to a man who sixteen years ago name
to St. Louis as a Russian exile, hunted
and proscribed. This m a n disappeared
a year later, taking with him the di­
vorced w ife of Professor Jules Beltn, a
teacher of French.
Since then be has
been beard from but once, and then it
was alleged he had gone to New York,
and there had been sentenced to prison.
The exile is the nephew of the late
prioce, his name is Lobanoff, and be­
fore h s exile he was judge of the
criminal oourt in Odessa. He was a
Nihilist, and when this fact was dis­
covered, he fled for his life. He first
stopped in Paris, and from there oame
to bt. Louis, bringing a letter of recom­
mendation to Dr. Cbartier.
On the advice of Dr. Uhartier he dis­
carded the name of Lobanoff and as­
sumed the name of Leuord. Through
Dr Otiartier’s influence Leuord secured
a position in a jewelry store, taking up
his abode in a • oarding bouse kept by
Mm». Kecane, the divorc d wife of
Professor Belin. After a few months
Leuord determined to marry Mme.
Recape. Owing to Dr Chartier’s ob­
jections, he eloped with her a year af­
ter his apprarance in bt. Louis. Nows
reached bt Louis some years later that
Leuord was in trouble in New York on
account of his attentions to the w ife of
a well known New Yoik impressario.

been explored elsewhere. The work is
being dono under the direction of
Thomas Harper, of this city, who be­
lieves that the specimens found here
are not loss than 1,000 years old, and
prove that they were made by the most
ancient people that inhabited this
country. Bone needles or awls were
included in the find and Mr. Harper
says they can be partially restored.
A tomaahwk, which he regards as
not being less than 1,000 yars 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 halnith, which was nsed for
striking. It is made of gneiss. He
considers that an extraordinary dis­
covery. The bone implement or flaker
is regarded by Mr. Harper as possessing
unusual intorest. This is the imple­
ment with which primitive men, as
well as ancient people, made flint in­
struments.
Mr. Harper maintains
that this last find proves that the
muund was built by mound builders.
