the Si'li-itibcr Gold Convention.
Chicago. Aug. 17. A meeting of the
national executive committee of th
gold Democratic purly was held at the
Palmer house today, Chairman Ryniiui
, of Indiana,, presided, ami all the mem
bers with present except Charles W.
Trucoy.of New York, who was iletulned
by imrty wink in the metropolis. The
principul business which called the
committee together was the preparation
and adoption of an address to t lie Dem
ocratic voters of lite country. A sub
committee was chosen 'In draft the
address.
Assurances have been received by the
committee that the organisations In the
following states which were not rep
resented at IndinniipoliN are sillllcieiiMy
advanced to make It certain they will
huve full delegations at the convention:
Louisana. North Dakota. Mississippi,
South Carolina. Nothing has been done
in Idaho. I'tah or Nevada, towards or
ganising and Mr. H.vnum said he did
not expect to see those stales repres
ented at Indianapolis. The expectation
Is there will be 41' states to answer to
the roll cull on September 2.
Chairman H.vnum said to a reporter
for the I'nited Associated Tresses:
"New York is the best city for the na
tional campaign headquarters and I
shall work and vote for It. Ours will be
a campaign of education and New York
is the producing point for the most
of the literature. The committee could
command more assistance in New York
than in Chicago. There are so many
headquarters that they Ret mixed."
APPEAL TO DEMOCRATS.
The committee wennt Into session on
the address as drafted by the sub-committee
at six o'clock and four hours
later save out the following:
To the Democrats of the 1'nlted
Slates:
The Democratic party Is the only ex
isting political organization with a his
tory extending buck to the birth of the
republic. Party after party has at
tempted its overthrow. Some have
achieved temporary triumphs. With
each triumph was heard the prophesy
Unit the Democratic party would sure
ly die. It has survived all defeats, By
virtue of its Indestructible principles
It has witnessed the birth and death of
every rival save one and this. Its pres
tit gret ntttHS uiiist. wltli a history of
no more than forty years, had no part
in laying the foundations of constitu
tional popular government.
For more than a century men of high
principles, noble ambitions, unselfish
and patriotic nims. have adhered to the
Democratic paity with a constancy of
devotion impruh lied in the history of
politics. Kor more than a century,
tlir.itmh iroi.il and evil times. In times
of prosperity and durs of adversity. It
has kept its faith. "Without variable
ness or shadow of turning," it has kept
lust to the fundamental principles of
free government formulated by its
founders and subsequently enforced by
its great, leaders, from Jefterson to
Cleveland. For more than a century
no man was ever In doubt as to what
constituted Democracy. He who pro
claimed himself a Democrat defined his
principles. He believed and this was
the cardinal article of his political
faith. In the ability of every individual
unassisted, if unfettered by law, to
achieve his own happiness and there
fore that to evury citizen there should
be secured the right nnd opportunity
peaceably to pursue whatever course
of conduct he would, provided such
condui t deprived no other individual of
the eqi'.-il enjoyment of the same light
and opportunity. He stood for free
dom of speech, freedom of consiicnc.
freedom of trade and freedom of con
tract, all of which lire fmpll .1 by the
century old buttle cry nf the liinii
eratl'r paity, "individual liberty." As
u const ijiieiii e - very iVmoc-at believed
in the rule of law and the rule of in
Impartial law, in the unhesitating pro
tot tion not only of the lives of its citi
zens, but of the private rights and pro
perty and the enforcement of obedience
to duly constituted authority.
PRIME OBJECT OP ('! O V E R N M E NT.
Kvery Hue Democrat insisted upon
I I
a strict observance ol the mandates of
the federal constitution and of the
limitations therein prescribed us v'ell
as upon n loyal support of nil tln-Mn-stltutioiis
thereby created to be guar
antees of the liberty it sought to per
petuate. He profoundly disbelieved In
the ability of government, through pa
ternal legislation or supervision, to in
crease the happiness of the tuition. He
was opposed to all attempts to conjuri
comfort Into the homes of Its citizens or
wealth into their pockets. He be
lieved that it is the function of govern
ment to provide the people with tin. hon
est und stable medium of exchange,
thus enabling them to transact tln-ir
business" safely und conveniently in
every market of the world. He repro
bated every attempt to supply to money
by means of legislation that value
which it can possess only by reason of
those qualities that render it accept
able to the world when unsupported by
legislative flat. He believed In the
greatest measure of freedom of trade
and industry compatible with the nec
essity to obtuin by constitutional
means an adequate revenue for the
support of the government. He be
lieved in a simple economy, honest and
clliclent administration of the affairs
of the nation, to the end that the prime
object of government, the liberty of
the people, should be preserved with
the least possible resulting burden and
the greatest possible certainty.
With such a record and such a creed
the president, moreover, being a Demo
crat, elected on a platform reaffirming
the sound principles of Democracy the
Democratic party was called upon to
select delegates to a national conven
tion. The delegates tr the convention held
at Chicago were authorized and had
the power to proclaim a platform em
bodying their views of the true solu
tion of the particular problems of the
government now agitating the nation,
mit upon the condition that such plat
form should be consistent with the car
dinal principles held by the party
throughout its existence. These prin
ciples constitute the essential element
of the party's life. They distinguish it
from all other political organisations.
If they.are abandoned, the party ceases
to exist . It was therefore not within
the power) of any majority of the dele-
gatesassembled at Chicago to find the
Democrats of the 1'nltcd Slates to a
platform insonslstent with the party's
principle or to any pet dm that should
result in their suriend i
VIOLATED THE Tltt ST.
In violation of trust rcni'iilliel to
them, a majority of the di legates as
sembled in that conv ntbm ign.jring
the rights of the minority, unseated
regularly elected delegates to make
places for others in sympathy with
themselves.
They proclaimed a sectional combina
tion of the south and west ugainst the
north iitnl east. They Impeached the
honesty and patriotism of President
Cleveland who under exceptional em
barrassments produced by past errors
of legislation has heroically maintained
the honor and integrity of the republic.
Against the protest of one third of the
delegates, they promulgated a platform
at variance with the fssentl.il prin
ciples of the Democratic party.
This platform is in Us policies dan
gerous in the welfare ami life of free
government. It Is mischievous in its
tendencies, but even more threatening
and mischievous was the spit it of the
convention that adopted it, a spirit
manifest"!! not alone by its afiirmative
action but as well by Its reckless re
jection f every proposition tending to
temier the declarations nf the conven
tion with conservatism aid justii-e.
Tile platform proposes to degrade the
coin of the l ulled States by means of
free, unlimited and Independent coin
age of silver by our government and by
the exercise of the liower of the nation
to compel the acceptance of depreciated
coins at the nominal value, thereby
working tin Injustice to creditors, de
frauding the laborer of a. large part of
bis carnlnus and savings,- robbing pen
sioned soldiers of a part of their pen
sions, i mui acting the currency by the
expulsion of gold coin from circulation,
Injuring if not destroying domestic,
trade and foreign commerce.
ATTEMPT TO MISLEAD.
While professing to advocate a policy
of bimetallism it censures lie present
Democratic administration for main
taining the parity of gold and silver. It
proposes to reduce this country to a
condition of silver monometallism, with
Its vacillating and unreliable standard
of values and tends to bring the farm
er, the wage earner and the salaried
nuin to the wretched condition of the
same classes In countries In which the
silver standard prevails and where the
rewards of agriculture und labor are
lower thnn anywhere else in the world.
With what seems to be a deliberate at
tempt to mislead the people It asserts
I hat by the coinage act of 187:1. the
I'nited Stales abandoned the use of
silver as money and that gold has ap
preciated und commodities have fallen
In price solely by reason of this legis
lation. It demands the free coinage of
silver nt the arbitrary and fictitious
ratio of Hi to although the ratio es
tablished in the woild's market is about
K! to 1 und although neither experience j
nor reason warrants the belief that the
commercial ratio between the metals I
can be reduced by the action of this !
government, to any ratio even approxi
mating that proposed.
Its declarations Invite and have al
most produced a llnancial panic and
many of Us proiMinents announce Hint
to accomplish their purpose they are
prepared to involve their country in a
disaste.- comparable to nothing 'in lis
history save the calamity of civil war.
It assails the independence of the Ju
diciary by a covert threat to reorganize
the courts whenever thclrdeelsions con
travene the decrees of the party cau
cus. It seeks to allure ollice seekers
nnd spoilsmen to Its support by at
tacking the existing civil service laws,
which good nun of all parties have
labored so long to establish and to ex
tend to all departments nf the public
service.
ASKED TO HOLT.
The Chicago convention having thus
departed from the recognized Demo
cratic faith and promulgated doctrines
new and strange to the Democrats, all
Democrats are ubsolved from obligation
to support Its programme. More thnn
this, as the doctrines announced are de
structive of national honor and private
obligation and tend to create sectional
and class distinctions and engender dis
cord and strife among 'the people, all
good citizens of the republic are bound
In repudiate them and exert every law
ful menus to Insure ihe defeat of the
candidates that represent these false
doctrines. ,
To this end We request nil Demo
crats who iin- opposed to the platform
nilnpted and the candidates nominated
at Chicago to organize in their respect
ive stiles and to send representatives
t :lie convention of the National Dem
ocratic party to be l-.eld at Indianapolis

ANSWERING THURSTON.
Senator Stewart Throws Another
I'iri'brmd nt the l.nciuv.
Washington, Aug. 17. This nfternooit
Senutor William M. Stewart gave nut
for publication a reply to Senator
Thurston's b'tier to him published In
the papers this morning regarding the
charge taut Mr. Bryan had b"en n paid
lecturer in the employ of silver mine
owi.ers. The letter quotes Til u rston's
stiiteiiuot tbitl be hud lint assailed
Bryan's character In any instance or
by any word and Mr. Stewart asks
Thurston how he can reconcile thut
statement it Hit the follow lag l.n.guage
used by him In the speech which gave
rise to the controversy :
"Tin proprietors of big bonunzus
huve found II profitable to keep h large
number of lecturers and oilier tpokes
men on Ihe road preaching to the peo
ple. Among the many who have thus
been employed and curried nu the pay
mils of the big bonanzas lor a number
of years Is William J. Bryan, nf Ne
braska, u ia!d agent and spokesman of
the free silver combine."
The letter Ihen continues: "Your dis
claimer in connection with the fore
going statement requires explanation,
provided you consider your reputation
for truth and veracity valuable. But
your disclaimer that you would lie the
last mun to assail the character of Mr.
Bryan reflects either upon your veracity
or your knowledge of the law of libel.
You re a lawyer and the fact that
you have been retained by the t'ulon
Pacific railroad for so many years indi
cates thtit you are useful In some way
to that Institution, you ought to know
that repeating a slander or libel Is
equally as slanderous or libelous as the
oiiglnul matter. "You assume that you
are not assailing Mr. Bryan when you
are quoting what Irresponsible news
papers say of him and giving to such
statements all the credit your high offi
cial position can confer. You belittle
your understanding when you say that
it is the duty of Mr. Bryan to enter
into personal controversy with every
hireling newspaper scribbler who is
employed to slander or defame him.
The people understand the animus of
partisan newspapers and make proper
allowances for their assertions but When
you clothe their slanders with your
official robes It Is a lame and cowardly
defense on your part to protect yourself
by skulking behind miserable- news
paper scribblers.
I called your attention to the In
justice of your charge, not the charge
of newspapers, which I have again
quoted for the purpose of calling your
attention to the charge you made, sup
posing that you were an honorable man
and, would retract the charges at once.
If you were unable to prove (hem. In
stead of doing so you repeated othe(
stale slanders against Mr. Bryan, my
self. Senator Shnron, Governor Stan
foid and others whbh If true do not
prove your charge against Mr. Bryan.
"I shall not relteiate in kind and
quote what venal newspapers or even
reputable men say of ynu. becanso it Is
not pertinent to the. issue. Tho issue
is "whether you have unjui tly and
without rmof assailed the character
of Mr. Bryan. You cannot avoid that
Issue by pretending that you only re
eated a falsehood which somebody else
originated. Do you not fear the repeat
ing of falsehood and attributing it to
Irresponsible partlen will Impair your
Influence In favor of the cause you are
advocating? You must remember my
dear sir that there is a sense of public
Justice, which i outraged by slander
and libel, w hich you cannot justify by
claiming you have a right to repent It
because you hud not' he courage to
originate It. If you have no case
against Mr. Bryan, which you have al
ready virtually admitted by citing ir
relevant, incompetent hearsay to prove
your charge, your slanders will be
harmless so fnr as he Is concerned, but
can you afford to be published to the
world as a peddler of slanders which
you cannot prove?
. "If you have any friends who sup
posed that you were both honest and
brave, they will be sorely disappointed
if yon fail to frankly avow your error
and retract your slanders or prove the
truth of your charges which I have
quoted above.
"Yours truly and resiectfully,
"William M. Stewart."

MARK HANNA GREATLY ENCOURAGED
A Demonstration That the People
Want Reliable Caiiipaixn Literature
nnd That They Mill Approach the
Kcpublicnu Tarty lor lt.tlckinlcy
Will Not Take the Slump.
Cleveland, Auji. 17. McKlnley and
Hanna were Iu conference ut Mr. Hau
lm's home all day Sunday. Said Mr.
Hanna today: "The outlook through
out the western states Is more promis
ing than two weeks ago, and I construe
It as an evidence that the campaign of
education is beginning to tell. We have
the Chicago hadquarters thoroughly
organized and up to Saturday night had
scattered iri.iiiKl.OOO campaign documents
in every section of the country. This Is
a mere handful compared to what will
be sent out. There Is a healthy growing
demand for Itepublicun literature,
which, In my opinion, uemonstrates that
the people want reliable Information
and are coming to Republican head
quarters to get it.
"Within a week or ten davs we will
begin to shoot off our oratorical artil
lery. It will come In good seuson ns the
peonle will have then had time to di
gest some of the campaign literature.
"It has been given out that McKlnley
will not take the stump and nothing has
occurred to cause him to deviate from
the original decision. To settle the mat
ter once for all, McKlnley will not take
the stump. Neither will he address the
G. A. R. gathering at Milwaukee.
"At present I cannot Justly size up the
eastern situation. I will be on the
ground Wednesday. All that I will say
of Bryan's speech Is that It was a skim
mer. "The last member of the executive
commute has not yet been appointed
and the matter is still in ubeyance."
