DeArmond—what state in the Union will present five abler men in the national convention. If Senator Tillman 1s in the evan- gelistic work for silver he ought to go east where the people need en- lightenment and the cause help.

The republicans general get these in good shape when allow- ed to pull the purse string. Through Judge John W. Corcoran, chairman of the democratic state central committee, of Massachusetts, ex-governor William W. Russeil has announced his candidacy for presi dent. The democrats of Kansas City and Jackson county ought to get togeth- er. As the matter now stands there are two committees and a bitter per- | sonal warfare of leaders as to which | faction shall control. The city papers say that specula-| tion as to Maffit s successor as chair- | man of the democratic state central committee points either to H. W. Salmon of Clinton, or Geo. W. Allen of St. Louis. The resignation of Mr. Maftitt is in the hands of Secre- tary Zevely.

Mr. Bland’s bitterest opposition inthe democratic party concede to him honesty of purpose and able leader- ship in this cause. The republican press over the county have had nothing but praise of his splendid character, and his courageous fight for silver. Bland is the logic of the situation if the 16 to 1 democrats carry the Chicago convention. LEADING MISSOURI PAPERS. Printer’s Ink, published by Geo. P.

BLAND EOR PRESIDENT. The following resolution was of fered by Governor Stone and adopt- ed by the convention: “Whereas, The restoration of free bimetallic coinage as it existed in the United States prior to the so- called demonetization act of 1873 is to be the leading issue in the forth coming national election; and, “Whereas, an honored citizeas of this State is among the foremost ad- vocates of bimetailism, not only in the United States, but in the world —his name being familiarly associ- ated with silver coinage in every civ ilized nation upon the globe; and, “Whereas, he is a man of large public experience, familiar with all the phases of national affairs, and a gentleman whose character for integ- rity in all the relations of life, makes him the peer of any living map; therefore be it “Resolved, That the Democracy cf Missouri takes pride in presenting eago the name of Richard Parks Bland—a name known throughout the world—for nomination to the office of President of the United and the delegates from this State to said convention are instructed to use every honorable means to promote his nomination.” THE PLATFORM. We, your Committee on Resolu- tions,beg leave to submit the follow. | ing resolutions: i We, the representatives ef the} Glade ees Comes With a better understanding of the transient nature of the many phys- ical ills, which vanish before prope forts—gentle efforts—pleasant cfforts— rightly directed. There is comfort in the knowledge, that so many forms of sickness are not due to any actual dis- ease, but simply to a constipated condi- tion of the system, which the pleasant family laxative, Syrup of Fi ly removes. That is why it is the on remedy with millionsof familie everywhere esteemed so highly by all who value good health. Its beneficial effects are due to the fact, that itis the one remedy which promotes internal cleanliness without debilitating the organs on which it acts. It is therefore all important, in order to get its bene- ficial effects, to note when you pur- chase, that you have the genuine arti- ele, which is manufactured by the Cali- fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by all reputable druggists. If in the enjoyment of good health, and the system is regular, laxatives or other remedies are then not needed. If afflicted with any actual disease, one may be commended to the most skillful physicians, but if in need of a laxative, one should have the best, and with the well-informed everywhere, Syrup of Figs stands highest and is most largely used and gives most general satisfaction. 1 the highest degree of personal lib- erty consistent with public good,and strict construction of the Federal constitution,and condemn the use of Federal troops in the States by the Federal Government for the sup pression of demestic riot, no call be- ing mada for such troops by the reg- ularly constituted State authority, and are unalterably opposed to a government by injunction by the Federal courts; that we favor the imposition of an income tax, where- by the wealth of the country may be made to bear its just proportion of the public burden. We denounce a3 unamerican and undemocratic the system of taxation on consumption only advocated by the Republican party. We declare it to be a funda- mental principle of the Democratic party that the Federal Government has no constitutional power to im- pose and collect tariff duties, except for the purpose of revenue, and de mand that the eollection of such taxes shall be limited to the neees- sities of the Government when hon- estly and economically administered. We further hold that the para- mount issue now before the people of the United States relates to the monetary system to be adopted by this country, and upon that issue we declare that the Federal Constitu- tion names silver and gold, together, as the money metals of the United States. The first coinage law pass ed by Congress under the Constitu- tion made the silver dollar the unit of value and amitted gold to free coinage ata ratio measured by the silver dollar unit. From the beginning of tne Gov ernment, following a policy formu- lated by Thomas Jefferson and firm ly established by Jackson, the Dem- ocratic party of bimetallism, favor ing the free coinage of both silyer and gold at the national mints, and opposed to farming out to banking corporations the Government's sov- ereign power of issuing and control- ing the money of the people. The act of 1873, demonetizing silver, was surreptitiously passed, without the approval or knowledge of the Ameri. can people, and from the time when the effects of this actin fastening upon this country the single gold standard were understood, the Dem- cratic party has consistently and persistently urged that the grievous wrong be righted. Tae demonetization of silver re sulted in steady appreciation of gold and a corresponding fall in the price of commodities produced by the people, a heavy increase in the bur-| den of all debts, public and private, the enrichment of the money lend ing class, paralysis of industry and exampled distress in all gold stand. ard countries.
