COLD DEMOCRATS' CALL : An Address to the People Attacking j the Chicago Platform. 1 ARGUMENT AGAINST FREE SILVER \ The Executive Committee of the "National Democratic Party," as the Gold Standard 'Wlntr la Called. Issue* a Hold Docn ment?dherence to tlie Time-Honored Principle* of th? Party Demanded. Chicago, III , August 18.?A mooting of the National Executive Committee of the National Democratic party was held at the Palmer House yesterday. Chairman Bynum, cf Indiana, presided, and ail the members were present except Charles W. Tracey, of New York, who was detained by party work In the metropolis. The principal business which called the committee together was the preparation and adoption of an address to the Democratic voters of the country. A j ouu-cuiumutee was caoseu iw untu iuo ?<.?- ; dress. The committee went into session on . the address as drafted by the sub-committee at 6 o'clock, and four hours later gave it out to the public. The document, which is addressed "To Democrats of the United- States," reviews in srlo.witie terms the history of the DemoVfcL '?itic party. It declares that the delegates Chicago Convention departed from ^WfeBe time-honored principles of the party. "These principles," it says, "constitute t| the essentiai element of the party's life. If i, they are abandoned th<> party ceases to v exist. It was, therefore, not within tho ^ power of. any. majority of the delegates as- a . aembledat Chicago to bind the Democrats p k ofi&tf United Sta.es to a platform incon* j, / _-Sfrsfont with the party's principles, or to tl | , any action that should result in their sur- ^ i-r Of the platform the address says. "Against ? : the protest of one-third of the delegates they u tr promulgated a platform at variance with f the essential principles of the Democratic party. This platform is, in its policies, dangerous to the welfare and life of free government. It is mischievous in its tendencies. 1 "The plat'orm proposes to desrade the coin of the Unitod States by means of tho free, unlimited aud independent coinage or silver by our Government, and by the exer- d else of the power of the Nation to compel the j, acceptance of depreciated coins at their nominal value, thereby working an injustice L to creditors, defrauding the laborer of a d large part of his earnings and savings, b robbing pensioned soldiers of a part of their s pensions, contracting the currency by the a expulsion of gold coin from circulation, and a injuring, if not destroying, domestic trade u and foreign commerce. I "It demands the free coinage of silver at ti the arbitrary and fictitious ratio of 16 to 1, P although the ratio established in the world's . market is about 32 to 1. It threatens in certain contingencies to increase to an unlimited extent the volume of legal tenders Issued by the Federal Government. Its declarations invite, and have almost produced a financial panic, and many of its proponents announce that to accomplish their purpose they are prepared to involve their country in a disaster comparable to nothing ? In its history save the calamity of civil war. .''It assails the independence of the judioiary by a covert threat to reorganize the courts whenever their decisions contravene the decrees of party caucus." The address then in the following language exhorts Democrats to revolt, and to bolt the ticket and the platform of the Chicago Convention: "The Chicago Convention having thus departed from the recognized Democratic faith and promulgated doctrines new and strange to the Democracy, all Democrats are absolved from obligation to support its programme. More than this, as the doctrines announoed are destructive of National honor and private obligation, and tend to create sectional and class distinctions and engender disoord and strife among tue people, an good citizens of the Bepublio are bound to repudiate them and ezert every lawful j, means to Insure the defeat of the candidates c who represent those false doctrines " e The address concludes with this appeal: ^ 'The duty of the hour is to stand steadfast t( in the defence of our ancient faith. That t] this party, as we have known it, may not die, j let the faithful of years rally around its his- q toric banner, reform its broken lines, and, with abiding faith in the final triumph of its principles, unite to restore the name Demo- j, crat to its former meaning and proud dis- ? tinction. To this end we request all Democrats who are opposed to the platform adopted and candidates nominated at Chicago to organize in their several States and to send representatives to the convention of j the National Democratic party to be held at Indianapolis, on Wednesday, September 2, 1896, in accordance with the call heretofore Issued by the National Committee." q Six MEN SHOT AT A BALL GAME. \ d f Spectators Disagreed With the Umpire and He Dealt Oat I'iRtolft. , Colored men from the Polk and Lowry plantation met at Poplar Grove, Ark., to ' play a ball same for a stake of $5.
