Leaders About the Country Make Su;. gestlons as' to the Party Platform. Abram S. Hewitt's Opinion. Indianapolis. Aug. 24. The platform of the national I letnncru I lo party is In course of formation. Chairman Itypurn. of the executive committee, lias u stack of letters fru'iu suiue of the most prom inent Democrats of the country nuk ing suggestions on this subject und some of them have forwarded complete diufts of platforms embodying; their views. These he will turn over to the resolutions committee to be appointed by the convention in order thut II may have the benefit of It In drawing up plut forms. In u letter concerning this subject the Venerable Abram S. Hewitt, ex-mayor of New York, expressed himself thus: My views are substantially that there Is but one issue to be presented to the people of the I'nited States. The Demo cratic convention at Chicago made h distinct declaration of war upon the constitution of the Cnited States. The issue therefor Is not linuucial or econo mic but it concerns the perpetuity of Republican Institutions. In the pres ence of this issue ull other questions sink Into Insignificance just as they did when civil war threatened the exist ence of the government. I think there fore, thut the constitution should be made the prominent If not the sole topic for the consideration of the convention. It seems to me thut if the people can be made to see that the bulwark of their liberty Is assailed In Us most vulner able point, and that the overthrow of the constitution will lead first to an archy and then to despotism In order to .save social order the response will be so emphutlc as to muke It Impossible fur the enemies of the constitution to muke any headway." ST. LOUIS ToNVENTION. Bryan and Kewall will be Present and a Torchlight Parade Civcu. Washington, Au(r. 24. At the head quarters of the National association of Democratic clubs it is stated that there Is a growing demand that the conven tion at St. Louis on Sept. 30 should cover two days. Instead of one as now arranged for. The orflcers of the na tlonul association are considering the feasibility of amending the call and make the dates Tuesday and 'Wednes day, Sept. 29 and 30, the llrst day's session being devoted to temporary or ganzlatlon and a report from the of ficers to be followed at night by a meet ing to be addressed by both Mr. liryan and Mr. Sewall, both of whom It Is positively stated, will attend the con vention. It hus also been suggested that af ter the close of the convention on the second day, a night parade be held. KILLED ON THE READING. Two I ukiiown .Men Are Struck by a Piisneuger Locomotive.

Will Be Called "The Jefferson Demo, cratic Party of PennsylvaniaWill Repudiate Chicago Platform. Philadelphia, Aug. 24 -The boltinggold gold Democrats from the Chh-ugo con Democrats from the Chicago enuven Ihe bolters who will probably adopt the Imlianupolis convention und form a new purty orguni.iitlon In this state. Even the time honored name of "Dcin ucrut" will probably bo abandoned by the bolters who will probably adopt the name of "The Jefferson Democratic party of Pennsylvania." As marly every county In the state has elected delegates to the convention, there promises to lie a full attendance. The convention will be culled to order by Willium ,M. Singerly, proprietor and editor of the Philadelphia Record, hitherto a hidebound Democratic paper, who will Introduce John C. liullllt. a prominent luwyer of this city, who will he pernieiiciit rhuirmun of the conven tion. As there ure to be no temporary officers, and, us there is but little rou tine business to be disposed of In the way of the appointment of committees, etc., the convention will probably be a short one. The platform as now fore casted will be comparatively short, it will repudiate the Chicago platform and will pronounce for the existing gold standard, as did the lute Democratic state convention at Allentown. It will further deny the right ot the present Democratic state chairman to recon vene the state convention, as he lias done, to elect electors ut larg;e und district electors to till the places of those who have resigned, on the ground thut the state chairman has no right to re-convene the state convention, as the body at Allentown represented the opinions nnd principles of the Demo cratic voters of the stute. The Philadelphia delegation at its caucus tonight, besides choosinw dis trict delegates, decided upon 'William M. Singerly and John C. Dullitt as elec tors at large. It wus ulso agreed to present lo the convention for Its en dorsement the names of two cumlidutes (for conressman-u t-,1at ge, nominated at tiie Allentown convention lienja mill Holts, of Delaware, uud James Dentuu llaucuck, of Venango. As the convention does not meet until 1 o'clock tomorrow afternoon, most of the delegates will be in uniple time, if they leave their homes tonight or to moiTow morning, uud consequently but few of the out of town delegates are In the city tonight. Lancaster and Lu zerne cuusused tonight uud ugreed up on their district d legates, but the caucuses of must of tile delegates will be held tomorrow morning. READING GOLD DEMOCRATS.

Chicago, Aug. 24. The charges against tiovcrnor Altgeld by ex-Congressman Forman in his oien L iter this morning are the polliicul sensation of the hour, overshadow in-- everything else. The Tribune gives its sulient ppinls In lung primer, while the other pupt-rs. Democratic and Republican alike, dignify it with double or triple leuds. While many of the charges for mulated of reckless handling or state funds uud illegal borrowing of lurge sums of public moneys have been cur rent gossip fur some time, and have been hinted ut by certain pupers. yet this is the llrst timu that either a Ue publlcuu or a Democrat has taken the resiKmsibillty of fathering them and of accepting the burden or proof. Much new mutter, moreover, is introduced; as for instance, the placing In the bank of which the governor Is vice-president of nearly $200,000 appropriated for the 1'nlverslty ot Illinois and Its sub sequent loaning- to the governor und his friends. Likewise the fact that Sin.fiiio was demanded ns the price of the nomination for state treasurer ut the Peoriu convention. There wer ulso some sinister sugges tions concerning certain nntl-llas Trust legislation promoted at the last session of tiie legislature by Altgeld's partner and brother-in-law, but which the governor subsequently vetoed, nnd since which time it is said, he has be come a member or the hoard of direct ors of one of the trusts. Tills Is u new development, nnd m iy bad to sensational disclosures. The sentiment In the business community, as well as in political circles, is that the charges demand an immediate and satisfactory explanation, or that Alt geld will be compelled to withdraw mm the campaign. Men of all parties insist that there Is no other alternative. Tile only exception s ut state Popocrut headquarters, where, although It is evident that Forman hus dropped u torpedo, there Is a disposition to mini mize Its explosive effect a with the lame suggestion that silver, and not Alt geld's reputation und administration, Is the only issue in this campaign. JON I'M AFFECTS I'NCONCERN. As for Senator Jones, his manner conveys the Impression that he is any thing but alarmed or sorrowful over the position in which the would-be dictator of the I'opocratic cuinpalgn has been placed, and there was a op ulur emphasis to his remutk: " Inventor Altgeld Is not u member of the National comiuittee.und so I de cline to discuss his affairs." Altgeld Is still ut Olenwuod Springs but is expected buck by the end of the week. Formun's charges in brief are that Altgeld borrowed over $.0.0U0 of ths late Rufus Ramsay, stale treasurer, without paying interest; that when Ramsay died State Secretary Hlnrlch sen wus hurriedly suit to Jacksonville lo raise S2.i.oou to take up the gover nor's due bills ami prevent exposure; that Insurance Commissioner Durfoe deposited a clock for s:;o,ooo for the same purpose; that bank oflicers who were ulso managers or ill rec tors of cer tain state institutions wcro removed from such positions because their banks refused to lend Altgeld large sums of inotiev. For man ubo asks i-vhat .became of Altgeld's due bills be. tween the time of the official sealing of the state treasury vaults after Ram say's death und the utliciul oicniug of the same when a successor was named; a query which bears on Its face a sug gestion of a serious crime. He likewise. demands a ull explana tion of the circumstances under which Altgeld recently brought nboul the nomination for rongrtss of Jehu Rak er, a renegade Republican. There Is much mure to the same effect, filling several columns and ending with a de mand for u full and explicit unswi.r. - - - REPUBLICANS AT MILWAUKEE.
