Singerly has withdrawn his name as a candidate on the Dem ocratic electoral ticket of this state, , because he will not support the ! Chicago platform. j Candidate Bryan and party passed through Pennsylvania on Tuesday on their way to New York to attend the ', notification meeting. He received great ovations all along the line. Among the probable candidates for United States Senator from this state to succeed Senator Cameron, are John Wanamaker, Senator Penrose, Governor Hastings, Chas. Emory Smith, and Congressman John B. Robinson. A conference of gold standard Democrats was held at Indianapolis last week, and it was decided to hold a national convention in that city in the near future to nominate a third ticket. Gen. Bragg of Wisconsin, and Gen. Buckner of Kentucky are mentioned among the probable can didates for President. For some years past the Columbian has refrained from participating in the fight for office prior to the delegate election. It believes in an open field and a fair fight, and it has endeavored to treat all candidates fairly and im partially. This is the course generally pursued by most papers in the state, and an experience of over twenty years has convinced us that it is the better policy, both as a matter of pol itics and a matter of business. The Columbian is not a factional organ, but adheres to the principle of doing that which it believes to be for the best interests of the whole Democratic party. It is ready at all times to publish communications on any sub ject, provided they are signed by a responsible person, but it will not en gage in any editorial effort to break down or build up any particular Dem ocratic candidate for nomination. The result of last Saturday's election shows that the people will not submit to such dictation and interference. The next President's name will be William. WRIGHT RESIGNS A8 6TATE DEMO CRATIC) CHAIRMAN AND GIVES HIS REA80NS. State Chairman Robert E. Wright has resigned. He sent to Matt Savauc at Clearfield, the secretary ot the State Democratic committee, the fol lowing announcement of his resigna tion and the reasons which led to it : " I hand you my resignation of the chairmanship of the State central committee, and authorize you to present it at the meeting which has been called for August 13. In re linquishing the position I feel that it is due to the committee, from which I have always icceived the most cordial support, as well as just to my self, that I should freely declare to them the reasons impelling me to this conclusion. Entrusted at the Allentown Con vention with the work of preparing the outline of a platform for its con sideration, I submitted a financial plank which received the unanimous approval of the delegates assembled, and which was truthfully declared m the platform itself to be "expressive of the sentiments of the united Demo cracy of Pennsylvania." To that declaration I cordially subscribed in April, and it accords with my con victions now. I believe it expresses the views of a large majority of the Democrats of Pennsylvania at this time. I cannot bring myself to believe that the hundreds of Democratic news papers, and hundreds of thousands of Democratic voters in this State, who in June of this year proclaimed their adherence to the Allentown platform, were aught but sincere then, nor that they have abandoned their opinions since. Tested by clearly defined, and oft repeated declarations of Democratic doctrine, the Chicago platform in my judgment is not a Democratic utter ance. It is coldly received, or open ly opposed by hundreds of thousands of life-long Democrats, and by the great leaders in whom the party has trusted ( while it is hailed with boister ous demonstrations of approval by political organizations with which Democracy has hitherto had no sym pathy. All .1 ADancioning tne sound money ooctnnes always upheld by our party. this platform proposes to flood the country with a debased silver currency, and compel its circulation at double its intrinsic value. For the first time in the history of civilized countries it is intended that silver shall be freely coined into money without limit as to quantity and without reference to its intrinsic worth. It is apparent, on the contrary, that they have but subordinated their own convictions to the decree of the Chicago convention. In this sub mission to that decree I for one can not join. It was brought about by un Democratic influences and gives ex pression to doctrines not only sub versive of all that Democracy has taught on the subject, but which I be lieve will bring dishonor upon the country, incalculable harm to its peo ple and disaster to our party. . I am a Democrat because I believe in that code of governmental doctrines that for nearly a century has stood for Democracy in this country. Party organization and a submission to luajorities in duly organized party tribunals are doubtless of great im portance. Yet they are but instru mentalities to an end. They cease to be vseful when correct principles are abandoned, and become absolutely dangerous when false doctrines and unrighteous purposes are proclaimed. I conceive that the most dangerous demonstration of the past month is to be found in the apparent ease with which a great political party has been suddenly turned from its well settled convictions to views diametrically their opposite, for no other reason than because an accidental and tem porary majority in a party convention has so ordered. When it comes to pass that political parties are mere machines, swayed at will by leaders and conventions, instead of being aggregations of individual thinkers moved by some common and intelli gent purpose for good, an evil time will have come to the Republic. No pledge is made for its redemp tion, no provision for maintaining it on a parity with gold. On the con trary, the means that have enabled the present administration to main tain the credit of the government, and to keep the present issues of silver equal to gold, are now to be taken from it. Its protecting hands are to be tied, while the wage-earners and thrifty citizens of the country are left to bear the losses that in my opinion would be inevitable. Not content with burdening the country with this terri ble load of depreciated silver, it is proposed to add to it unlimited issues of greenbacks redeemable in this de based coin. The curse of an irredeemable paper money, that has wrought ruin in every country that ever resorted to it, and against which the Democratic party has ever consistently fought, is to be visited upon us. The power to borrow money to meet its current obligations and maintain its credit, a poiver in herent in the smallest sub division of local government, is to be taken from the general government, leaving its honor and credit the sport of irres ponsible speculators upon national disaster. The best and safest system of banking and of paper money the world has ever seen is to be stricken down to be replaced by the worst that the ingenuity of man has ever devised. In 189a a national Demo cratic convention, at the dictation of the South and extreme West, declar ed in favor of the freest possible issue of banking currency, and in 1896 at the behest of the same sections it declares against all such issues. Then we declared that our gold and silver coin metals must be of equal intrinsic value, and that the parity of all issues must be maintain ed now we denounce intrinsic equal ity and make parity of value im possible. The Chicago platform at tacks the Supreme Court of the ountry, and makes a covert threat to reorganize it, so that its decisions may be reversed. No act in the his tory of the Republican party ever received severer condemnation from Democracy than did its prostitution of the Supreme Court in the same way, during the administration of President Grant. It invites anarchy by denouncing President Cleveland for following the example of Jackson in enforcing Federal laws by the armed power of government, when not reigned in Chicago. With these declarations of principles and policy, and with the influences behind them, I have no sympathy. Much as I love Demo cracy and revere its historv, I cannot follow those who have " stolen its banners while tramping on its princi pies."' Opposition to this platform means fidelity to democracy and to country, to liberty, to progress, to all that is worth preserving in American civihza tion. " DEMOCRATIC RULES. The rules of nomination of the Democratic party of this county are in saa need of revision. They have not been printed since 1880. and since that time they have been changed and revised by the convention almost yearly, until no one knows what they ! . . are. v nen questions arise in the convention, the rules cannot be ap pealed to. for thev are in no taneihli ' J o shape, and can onlv be ascertained bv searching through sixteen years of newspaper files. They should be compiled, revised, and printed in pamphlet form, so that the convention will not be compelled, year after year, to rely on the memory of individuals as to what the rules are, for this is very unsatisfactory as the recollections of different persons vary, and disputes often arise.
