BEYANISM AND PKBE
SILVER ABE ENDORSED.
In tho Mix-up Delogatos Aro Pushed
Off tho Stage, Thrown Out
of Windows, and Revol
vers Aro Drawn,
The proceodln&B of tho Democratic
Rtate convention, held at Reading last
week, have caused everyone calling
himself a Democrat to hluah with
hams. Never before In the Rtate were
such disgraceful scones enaoted by a
representative body of men. The whole
proceeding Indicates not only tho de
plorable lark of leadership, but the
complete disintegration of the Demo
cratic party In Pennsylvania. When
such grave differences of opinion exist
In a political party that require a free
light and general knockdown to settle,
It 1b time for the self respecting and
conseTvatlve element of that party to
seek guidance and acquire affiliation
elsewhere. This thousands of Demo
crats will do this fall, and It would not
be mirprlalng to see the Republican
majority even greater than last year.
They feol outraged that their party
leaders cannot seat delegates and adopt
a platform without engaging In a freo
fight and nourishing revolvers, the riot
only ceasing when a detachment of
policemen appeared on the scene.
The platform adopted endorses Bryan
and free sliver, and the gold Demo
crats of the Rtate lire In a huff. They
are so Incensed that they discussed the
advisability of placing a separate ticket
In the Held, but finally decided not to
make an expensive and hopeless light
at this time. This means that thou
sands of them will quietly vote the Re
publican ticket.
We print below from some leading
papers comments on the late Demo
cratic, free sliver, free fight, Bryan-
Garman convention:
It Uocnmo Hopoloss Lunacy.
From tho Philadelphia I'roiM.
"There are Republicans who are In
clined to criticise their party, but their
criticisms are silenced In the face of
such an exhibition as the Democratic
state convention gave on Tues
day. Here met the leaders the ac
credited spokesmen and representa
tives of the Democrats of Pennsylvania
and we have the result. A free light
that would have disgraced a collection
of roughs In the worst ward of tho
city. In fact, such a disorderly and riot
ous meeting would not have been per
mitted In Philadelphia. The police
would have pulled tho fighting dele
gates out of the hall as soon as they
became riotous. The presence of an
efficient DOlIce force in and around a
conventlonls much objected to by some
people as an Interference with the
rights of citizens. It does prevent free
fights such aB characterized the Reading
convention. We have never seen that
the police Interfered with free speech or
a free vote.
It may be claimed that It was an un
ruly minority which changed the con
ventlon hall Into a bedlam and the
delegates Into a shouting, struggling
mob. It was tho triumphant majority,
however, that In this year of grace re
affirmed the allegiance of the Demo
cratic party of Pennsylvania to the
broken and discredited Idol of free sll
ver. What was folly last year with hard
times and GO cent Bllvor dollars became
hopeless lunacy with the Improving
times, dollar wheat and 40 cent dollars.
'We aro firmly and unalterably op
posed,' says the platform, 'to the single
gold standard, which has been the dl
rect cause of the financial distress that
has followed upon our peoplo since Its
adoption.' This rot and falsehood ae-
eclved some voters last year. It has
been disproved by events. We had sup
posed no one would be silly enough to
put It forth seriously this year. We had
not yet henrd from the uarman-uuf
fey wing of the Democratic party of
Pennsylvania.
"The Democratic party has been often
compared to a man riding backwards
In the cars and seeing nothing until It
Is past. This comparison does not ap
ply to the Democratic party of Penn
Bylvanla, ns It Implies some progress;
but the Reading platform ahows the
party standing hopelessly still with Us
face set to the everlasting night, only
solicitous to drive out of the party all
who appear to bo less blind and stupid
than the rest.
"It Is unfortunatp In some respects
for the Republican party In Pennsyl
vanla that It Is denied the stimulus and
discipline which an Intelligent and well
directed opposition party would give it,
Tho Republican majority lias been-
steadily Increasing year by year nntl
It has reached 300,000. There are soma
Republicans who think that this Is big
enough and that any more wouia do
superfluous. The Reading Democratic
convention did what It could to make
the Republican majority go beyond
even the superfluous."
Iloiiiocrntlo T'rlnolplPH Vindicated
From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
We read In some of the free silver
papers that claim to be Democratic
that Democratic principles have been
vindicated by the Reading convention.
What we're the principles upheld In this
somewhat Interesting gathering?
First of all there was a theft of dele
utiles, a pure steal. What particular
Dumocratlc principle was Involved In
this thievery?
Then thsr was mob law. There will
be some Democrats tp protest that mob
law 1 not a fundament! doctrine of
the Democratic party.
Then there was gag rule, and vUfity
t. Nothing like free speech was
permitted. If gag rule Is a part of the
Deinoortfo belief then It was surely
upheld.
The convention want wild oyer the
dlllloneet dollar. This must );s 4 nw
principle, ior oniy a year ago tna uem,
ocratlo convention knew nothing of It,
The whirlpool rapids of free sliver
have been gathering many queer things
In their embraoe. All tho dlssatlifled
elements In America havo turned up
somehow In this vortex. It Is curious,
but nevertheless true, that It there Is
a cranklsm or a erase It 1b sure to be
found revolving around free, sliver,
Find an anarchist, and you discover a
free silver man. All free silver men are
riot anarchists hy any means, but all
anarchists are free silver men. Find a
communist, and he Is an advocate of
bogus dollar, Scratch the baok of a

For n year the Democratic party of
Pennsylvania has been sailing down the
rapids. It has reached Its legitimate
end at last In the deadly whirlpool, with
Mr. Garman as Its pilot. The party
might have weathered the gales of No
vember had It only been true to Itself
and collected Its scattered remnants
for a new trial, but It never can re
cover from the wreckage which Mr.
Garman has brought upon it.
Somo May Ilnvo Boon Anarchists.
From tho Willlamsport Bulletin.
The disgraceful scenes attending the
Democratic state convention at Read
ing have aroused the Indignation of all
law abiding, conservative voters who
respect deoency even In politics. When
men sent to represent a district In a
state gathering become drunk and dis
orderly, draw revolvers and have to be
thrown bodily from the stage it Is no
wonder people of sensitive feelings
blush with shame. The Democracy of
Pennsylvania Is to be pitied for some
of the material that composed the
membership of that convention. It was
more like a gathering of the lawless
and Inclined some to the belief that a
few anarchists succeeded In getting
themselves elected as delegates. Let
us hope that state political conventions
of the futuro will not be attended by
such disgraceful scenes.
Too Shrowtl to Bo Slnughtorod.
From tho Philadelphia Rocord.
The logical candidates who should
havo been named for auditor general
and state treasurer by the Reading
convention were Garman and Guftey.
They nre both hustlers, as extreme In
their views aB the platform which was
made to represent their views. They
are both men of reputation and sub
stance and of engaging personality. But
visionary As they are on the money
question, and bold as they arc In push
Ing forward other men to stand the
hazard of the die whilst they deal the
cards, they are too shrewd to lead
where they bid others follow. They
devolve the leadership upon RItter and
Brown. Should these gentlemen de
cline the honor thrust upon them the
Rtate committee should take no denial,
but straightway put Garman and Gut-
fey In the Held.
They are .the logical candidates.

tween tidewater and the lake some
thing like 4,000 people and about 2,000
horses. The commander of one of the
vessels now at Skaguay states that
16 vessels are chartered to land oar
goes at that place between now and
Sept. IS, and that the number of pas
sengers will average 200 to each ves
sel, making 3,200 more people who will
attempt to go In this fall.
"I have talked -with some of the most
experienced traders and miners In this
vicinity, and' they are unanimous In
the prediction that not over 20 per
cent of this vast number will get
through to Dawson before winter sets
In. The other 80 per cent will be caught
on tho trail, and those who survive and
get back to tidewater will have to win
ter at Skaguay or return south. If
the rush continues two weeks longer
hundreds will Inevitably perish on the
trail, which Is extremely dangerous
after the first of October.
"The postmaster and Indian ttader at
this place (Mr. Heron) states that more
than a thousand men have gone up the
Chtlcnot Pass during the paBt 30 days,
and that 700 of them, aro still this side
of the lake (21 miles from here). Ves
sels are arriving every day or two, and
at the present rate of influx another
thousand will enter the trail by Sept.
10. Mr. Heron Is of the opinion that
not more than 20 out of a hundred will
get through, and he says this trail Is
tar more dangerous than the Skaguay
after the snows set In. He says If the
rush continues another week the re
sultant loss of life will be appalling.
I attach the greatest weight to what
he says, for the reason that It Is to
his pecuniary Interest to have as many
as possible come this way, yet he ad
vises an Immediate stoppnge of the
stampede.
It Is difficult to suggest a way to
stop thlB Inrush of people, but Mr. Ivey
Intimates that If the Inspection rules of
the treasury department were properly
enforced It would materially decrease
the number of passengers on the In
coming vessels. Nearly every vessel
that arrives here brings twice as many
passengers ns tho law allows It to
carry, and many of them ar condemn
ed craft which have been fitted up for
this trade. Mr. Ivey will no doubt lit
once present the facts outlined above
to the proper authorities, and I merely
give them to you for your Information.
The situation Is appalling, and It is Im
possible for me adequately-to describe
the mail rush for the gold fields. I had
no conception of Its Immensity until I
saw.
"I have talked with several men who
havo recently arrived here from the
Klondike, two of whom left there less
than 30 days ago. They unanimously
agree that, while there Is a rich gold
field there, tho facts do not not Justify
the present stampede, and they say
there Is bound to be much suffering and
actual starvation. Provisions are al
ready Boaree and the prices of many
articles absolutely prohibitory In the
ense of a man of ordinary means."

of "Love's young dream" may be pre

medicine for troubles of this nature.
The right medicine is Dr. Pierce's l'avorlte
Prescription. Over 90,000 women have said
so In unsolicited letters to Its discoverer
Dr. R. V. Pierce, chief consulting physician
to the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Insti

scription" acts directly upon the organs
that make wifehood and motherhood possi
ble. It makes them strong and healthy. It
allays Inflammation and soothes pain. It
relieves the strain upon the nerves. It pre
pares for motherhood and insures the health
of the child. All medicine dealers sell it.
" I take pleasure," write Mrs. Jessie Knlfer, of
Itulogy, noequeCo , Texas, "in wriVngvotiagain.
I am In better health than I have been in six
years. I think your medicine Is the beat In the

has saved my life. I was not able to get up when
I was skk until I began to take your medicine. I
cannot thank you enough for what you have done
for me. You can use my statement as you like."
