Myers, of Dauphin, (or State Treasurer, Williamsport, Pa., Sept. 1 1. The State Democratic convention, which nominated six candidates for judges of the superior court and a candidate for state treasurer, began here this morning and ended to-night. The convention abounded in exciting scenes. There were seventeen can didates for the judicial nominations and it took three hours and twenty minutes to select six of the number. In addition, speeches placing these aspirants before the convention occu pied over two hours. Mr. Meyers, who was nominated by William. M. Singerly. of Philadelphia, was chosen by acclamation. On the first ballot for the judge ship nominations Yerkes, Moorehead, Smith, N'oyes and Bechtel were chosen, each receiving more than the (Accessary 227 votes. After considerable trouble another ballot was taken to nominate a sixth candidate and it resulted, Magee 170, Bower r ;?. fill of the other candi dates, with the exception of Rose, announcing their withdrawal. As many cf the delegates left the hall after the announcement of the first ba!!o;. the chairman refusing to accept the proxies of absent members, the vote of neither Magee nor Bower reached .1 majority of the convention. Chairman Garman, however, recog nized the selection of Magee and de clared him to be the sixth nominee. The contention assembled at 11:10 a. m. and adjourned sine die at 8:22 p. m., the only intermission being from 12:05 o'clock until 1:50 o'clock. Chairman Wright, of the state com mittee, called the convention to or der. The call for the convention was formally read. Then the state chair man announced the temporary officers who had been selected by the state executive committee. Ex State Chair man Stranahan headed the list as temporary chairman. Committies on credentials, permanent organization and resolutions were announced, and at 12:05 P- m' a recess was taken un til 1:30 o'clock. The first business was the report of the committee on credentials. The report of the com mittee on permanent organization recommended that John M. Garman, of Luzerne county, be the permanent chairman, and that the minor officers of the convention be continued. This was adopted and Mr. Garman was escorted to the chair. The platform was then read by A. G. Dewalt, of Lehigh, chairman of the committee on resolutions. Mr, Singerly then made a motion that nominating speeches be limited to five minutes. An amendment was offered, and accepted by Mr. Singerly that the limit be extended to ten minutes and both nominating ant seconoinT speeches le included in this time. The amendment prevailed Resolutions being declared in order Mr. Singerly nominated Benjamin t. Meyers, of Hamsburg, for stat treasurer. This was quickly seconded, and Mr. Meyers went through with rush by acclamation I he real work of the convention wis now begun, the selection of super ior roprt nominee.

This ended the presentation of can didates and at 4.50 o'clock the nomi nations closed. After considerable wrangling it was decided that dele gates be allowed to vote for superior judge nominees, either individually or through the chairmen of delegations, The taking of the vote began at 4:5s o clock and the first ballot was con eluded at 6:30 0 clock. It was an nounced a half hour later. Messrs. Yerkes, Moorehead, Smith and Noyes and Bechtel were declared to be nominated and another ballot was taken to select the sixth nominee, Chairman Garman had much difficulty in controlling the delegates while the additional ballot was being taken and Judge iMagees nomination was an nounced at 8:20 o clock. Two min utes afterward the convention ad journed sine die. The platform as adopted by the con vention follows : rirst ihe Democratic party in state convention assembled hereby renews its allegiance to and declares its faith in the principles ot Demo cracy as formulated by Jefferson, and illustrated by Madison, Monroe, Jack son and Cleveland. It congratulates the American people upon the first fruits of the Democratic administra tion, which inherited from its Republi can predecessor a bankrupt treasury, unwise financial legislation, impaired public credit and widespread disaster, and which, under the sagacious, courageous and patriotic leadership of its great president, Grover Cleveland, led the people out of the slough ot despond to the high ground of sub stantial and increasing prosperity We challenge the fairness of our countrymen and ask that the party now receive the benefit of that renew ed prosperity whose welcome note is heard on every side. Second The enactment of the Sherman silver purchasing act and the AicKiniey tarin law tound, as accur- tely predicted by Mr. Cleveland, their results in bankrupt railroads, closed factories, ruined farms, aban doned fields, impaired national credit and general disaster. The repeal of such iniquitous legislation and the substitution of more moderate tariff aws have found their immediate re- ulu in the resumption of business and tne restoration ot the national credit. Third As vindicating the principles of tanrt reform, to which the Demo cracy is unalterably pledged, we dial enge especial attention to the fact that such prosperity and the con sequent material increase of wages as been most pronounced in the ndustries whose existence our op- onents claimed were dependent upon high tariff duties. The gloomy pre diction that the iron and steel in dustries of Pennsylvania would be destroyed by a reduced tariff has been contradicted by their present un exampled prosperity. Fourth We invite the attention of the wage earners to the fact that the present voluntary increase of wages of those employed in the manufacturing industries, amounting to not less than $250,000,000, was absolutely unknown under the McKinley tariff act. To prevent the reactionary legislation threatened by the Republican party of Pennsylvania in their recent State convention, which would again de press business by destroying faith in the stability of present conditions, we invite our fellow countrymen through out the land, irrespective of party, to so act together as to insure, by toe electiou of a Democratic President in 1896, the maintenance of the present prosperity. ruth we especially reaffirm so much of the platform of the last Dem ocratic National Convention as calls for the use of both gold and silver as the standard money of the country ; but the dollar unit of coinage of both metals must be of equal intrinsic and exchangeable value, or be adjusted by international agreement, or by such safeguards ot legislation as shall insure the maintenance of the parity of the two metals and the equal power of every dollar at all tunes in the pay ment of debts. We believe that such parity could not be maintained by the free coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1, and we are, therefore, odpos ed to any legislation looking to that end. Sixth We arraign and condemn the present administration, both in the executive and legislative branches of the government, for its refusal to reapportion the State, in accordance with the mandates cf the Crft:tulijn, for its profligate w.13'.? cf pul'ic : loncy, for its creation of private awards and useless pnblic olTices; far its d.et -d.i tion of the public service in f:.r;..m .1 contests; for it ...1- 1 . y i u ic of official salaries n ''v ...trirrunt ot many deserving tiiani.o of '. e s?:te; for its legislation favorable to in terests of corporations and monopolies. seventh e challenge comr-.r;r-.n between this State adminif .1, which has been so faithless to its pledges, and the wise, economical and honest administration of Robert K. Pattison, which in the stainless purity of its record silenced party malignity and justly merited and received the al most universal approbation of the people of this commonwealth. Eighth We especially invite the sober consideration of the people of this state to the remarkable factional strugg'e in the Republican party, a struggle which involved no principle or public policy, but simply the su premacy of factional leaders. The worst arraignment at our hands of Republican misrule falls short of what representative Republican newspapers and leaders testified of each other. The admitted prostitution of the public service, the intervention of corporate influences, the misuse of judicial ap pointments, and the consequent prosti tution of the judiciary, thecortupt use of money in the purchase of delegates, the attempted terrorism at Harrisburg by men of the most abandoned type, fix the high water mark of political de bauchery. It but needid to complete its incomplete infamy, the transparent hypotricy which led a convention, thus constituted, to adopt " with laughter" resolutions concerning the very methods by which its delegates had been selected. Such condemnation of " the grow ing use ot money in politics, the corporate control of the legislature, municipal councils, political primaries and elections ; the enslavement o public officers and employees ; favor ltisra in gi anting contracts and the granting of exclusive franchises in public necessities," while valuable as evidencing the truth of the accusations of the Democratic party in the last quarter of a century, yet coming from the very source which is responsible for these evils, constitute the crown ing insult to the intelligence of a for bearing and long suffering people. Defender Valkyrie. The race for the America's cup on last Saturday between the British Yacht Valkyrie, and the American Defender, resulted in a clean victory for the American boat, it finishing eight minutes and forty nine seconds ahead of us competitor, the second race, which was held Tuesday, will un doubtedly have to be sailed over, as the Valkyrie fouled the Defender at the start breaking the top mast back stay hence preventing her from using all her sails. She hoisted a protest, and notwith standing her crippled condition, was beaten only forty seven seconds. Her actual gain over the course was one minute and sixteen seconds, being a virtual victory. Another race will be sailed to day. Practically the Defen der has not been beaten, and if she wins today, the safety of the cup is assured. Should the Valkyrie win, the next race will be the most exciting we have ever had. Since writing tie above, word has been received that t!ie committee had sustained the protest entered against the English boat, she having broken racing rules, as she had plenty ci room to pass the Defender windward. This decision gives the race to Defen der, without the necessity of its being re-sailed. The Magic Touch OF Hood's Sarsaparilla You smile at the idea.

They are the royalty of India and number about 200,000,000. Ramachandrayu Garu was converted at the Lutheran Mission in Guntur, India, and was a professor in the Lutheran college there. He has taught English litera ture for 15 years and speaks English fluently. He is spending a year in America to perfect his knowledge of the language, and to carry back to the three hundred millions of India the civilization of this country. It is a rare privilege to near a uranmin christian speak. He speaks in the Lutheran church Catawissa, Sunday morning, here Sunday evening. When a person begins to grow thin there is something wrong. The waste is greater than the supply and it is only a question of time when the end must come. In nine cases out of ten the trouble is with the digestive organs. If you can restore them to a healthy condi tion you will stop the waste, put on new flesh and cause them to feel better in every way. The food they eat will be digested and appropriated to the needs of the system, and a normal ap petite will appear. Consumption frequently follows a wasting of bodily tissue because near ly all consumptives have indigestion The Shaker Digestive Cordial will restore the stomach to a healty condi tion in a vast majority of cases.
