Below can be found the full text of

The Democratic party is pledged to equal
and exact justice to all mou of every creed

individual contestant with good government;
^ to the preservation of the federal govornmont
in its constitutional vigor and to tho
support of the States in all their just rights;

They abandon for Republican allies the
Democratic cause of turilT reform to court
tho favor of protectionists t their fiscal
heresy. In view of these and < titer grave d?.
parturcs front Democratic principles, w,?
cannot support the candidates of that con
vcjjtion nor ho hound by its acts. The Dem^^^cratlc
| arty lias survived many defeats, but
^^could not survive a victory won, in behalf of
tho doctrine and policy proclaimed in its
name ttt Chicago.
The conditions, however, which make pos-(
1 eiblo sttch utterances from a national con-:
ventlou are the direct result of a class legisla-'
lion by the Republican party. It still pro- !
claims, as it bits for ten years, the power and j
duty of th?? government to raise arid maintain
prl ccs by law., ami it proposes no remedy for
existing evils except oppressive and unjust
taxation.
^ The National Democracy here reconvened.'
therefore, renews its declaration of faith in
Democratic principles, especially as applicable
to the conditions of the times. Taxation,
tariff, excise or direct, is rightfully imposed,
only for public purposes, and not for private j
gain. It amounts is justly measured bv pub-' j
lie expenditures, which should he limited by '
scrupulous economy. The sunt derived by j
the treasury from tariff and excise levies is| j
affected by the state ot trade and \otiime op j
consumption. The amount required by tic j
treasury is dc'.gnniiu d by the appropriate; s.
made by congress. 'l ie demand ot the He- j
publican party for an increase in tariff, taxa- '
)llon and its pretext in the dcilcicuey of rcve- I
lines, which has its causes in the stagnation !
ot trade and reduced consumption,.duo ons
tiroly t?? the loss of eonlldenoe that let;, fob' I
lowed the Populist thrial of fr |
and depreciation of our mo!:<-\ mi l the it publican
practice of extravagant appropriations
beyond tho needsin good government.
Wo arraign and condemn the I'opulistic conventions
of Chicago and St. Louis for their
: co-operation with the Republican party in
creating these conditions which aro pleaded
in justilication of a heavy increase of the
burdens of the people l?y a further resort to
I protection. Wo theroforo denounce protection
and its nlly, freo colnngo of silver ns
schemes for the personal prollt of a few at
tho expense of the masses and is the two
parts which stand for these schemes ns hostile
to the people of the ropuolle, whose food
and shelter, comfort and prosperity aro attacked
bv higher taxes and depreciated
money. Iu lino, we aillrm tho historic I)ein.
oerntic doctrine of tariff for revonuo only.
We demand that henceforth modern and
liberal policies towards American shipping
shall take the place <>f our imitation of the
restricted statutes of tho 18th century, which
have been abandoned by every n aritlme
pewer but the United States, and which to
tho nation's humiliation have driven American
capital and enterprise to tho use ot alien
flags and alien crews, lmvo inado tho Stars
and Stripes an almost unknown emblem in
foreign ports and have virtually extinguished
(the race of Americau seamen. Wo oppose
tho pretense that discriminating duties will
promote ship; ing; that scheme is an invitat
tion to commercial warfare upon tho United

tr.-aties, offering no gain whatever

The Churlea Ilroadway House Mov?
incut Fully Organl/.nd.
The movement inaugurated by Charles
Broadway ltoues, of New York, to perpetuate
the history of the Southern Coufeileraoy aud
oecus 01 aouuieru L-ravery ny erecting a
magnificent memorial building, was promoted
bv the notion of the board of trustees,
whose llrst session was brought to a close
Thursday of last week on Lookout Mountain,
near Chattanooga. Tenu. Corporate
existence will be giveu the movement by a
charter obtained in Mississippi for the Confederate
Memorial Association. The idea of a
battle abbey hns been abandoned as impracticable
and the structuie to be erected will
be called the memorial institute. The board
organized by electing (ieneral \V. D.Chipley,
oi Pensaeola. Fin., president and Cieu. C. A.
Kvans, of Atlanta, tin., vice president. Col.
Hubert C. Wood, of New Orleans. La., will
continue to act as general manager. The
Fourth National Hank, of Nashville, was designated
as treasurer and depository of funds,
both subject to change by the board at the
next meeting, which was set for Oct. 1.
at lJollemede, near the hoiue of Gen. W.
if. Jackson. General \V. H. Jackson, of
Tennessee, Col. ltobort White, ot West Vir
giuia. Gen. J. 11. Ilriggs, of Kentucky, an 1
General ltoss. of Texas, were constituted an
ex? eutivo committee. Tne plan for raising i
tlio necessary fuuds provides for the appointment
of agents in each county to make thorough
canvass in every Stateiu the South.
The board of trust Is composed of eighteen
members, besides Col. A. G. Dickiuson, of
New York, the personal agent of Mr. Houss.
The body is tniulo self-perpetuating and is
divided equally into two and four year term
members. The charter holds good for fifty
v-ars. Fifteen States, the District of Columbia,
Oklahoma and the Indian Territory
are represented on the board. It is estimated
that the institute will involve nn outlay of at
least t500,000 before completion. Its chief
mission will he educational iu character by
collecting together the correct facts at issue
in the history of the late war. Cupt. J. M.
Ilickey, of Washington. D. C\, was seated us
a member of the board over \Y. A. Gordon,
contestant. The location of the memorial
hull will not bo considered uutil after the
money has been raised.
Ilcwiiro of the Tight Collar.
"Headaches, cyeaelies? Don't wonder.
You are undergoing n mild form
of strangulation. Look here," and the
physician, who lu a twinkling had
sighted the foundation of his patient's
trouble, gave a vicious tweak at her
board-like throat environment. "This
fashion," he continued, "has put more
of your sex upon the all list than any
other of your dress absurdities. There
hasu't a woman come Into my office
for over a year whose neck wasn't
confined In this tortuous way. I have
traced more than ono case of congested
blood at the base of the brain to this
collar fad.
"It is responsible for red noses, bad
skins and other forms of repressed clrculatlon.
"Now, I cinnot insert my finger between
your collar and your throat, and
yet you wonder why you aro having
ho much trouble with your head and
eyes.
"Itlp up your high collars, my misguided
young lady, and tell your dressmaker
not to put another bit of binding
about your throat. When you do
this, l'\\ vouch for the headache's departure."

body to look at. from her neatly belted
waist to lier spiek and span linen choker.

this stitlly starched collar, than

crept up .lust as close as it could at tho
lobesof her ears, and she wears It lu

But the tlnio of reckoning is coming.

BILL ARP'S LETTER.
CRITICISMS BY THE PKKSS OF
TODAY ARE INTOLERANT.
Th? 8njo of Bartow Sors Many Things
II? Don't Like.
Thero is a latnontnblo usage of the
press and of partisans (luring election
times, and that 1b the wautou, outrageous
ahuHO of the other fellow and
the other bide. I huvo not soon any
such abase of McKiuloy by the democratic
prose, bat tho northern republican
journals just teem with the vilest
and most malicious slanders of Bryan
and his platform. He is denounced
and cartoonod as the arch anarohist
and repudiator; a tool of the silver
mines; a babbling boy; a sky scraper;
.a bag of wind, and the puuka of the
Platte. I don't know what punka
means, but suppose it is some very bod
thing like a polecat. His Madison
Square speech which Ingalls said was a
very groat speech, is ridiculed as an
abortion, a chestnut, a miserable failure;
and they cartoon him as a little
aophomoro sohoolboy orator. This is
very bad policy. Tho people of" all
parties know that 13ryan is a vory eloquent,
smart and siucero man and the
reaction comes when such slanders are
used against him. Tho jubilant, guying
tone of tho republican press reminds
ono of Goliath and David?
"And whou tho 1'hilistino saw David
ho disdained him for ho was but a
youth, and tho Philistino cursed David
by his goils and ho said come to mo
and I will give thy flo6li to the fowls of
tho air and tho boasts of tho field."
Fortunntoly for tho country both of
our candidates for president have characters
ubovo reproach and clean records
in their public life and are endowed
with very high qualifications in
statesmanship. Tho ono elected cannot
make a law. Then why abuse him?
Each has a host of friends and it
wounds a man's feelings to hoar his
favorite, his leader, his idol, as it
were,lampooned andvillified by pennya-liner
scribblers, who have no conception
of what constitutes true greatness.
There is no manliness or good
breeding in the modern modes of conducting
a political canvass. I heard
an old veteran say today that he had
not intended to vote for Governor AtUiuson,
but since Watson and Wright
were denouncing him for pardoning
that mau Hinton lu had changed his
mind and should support him. "Candidates
nro in a desperate strait," said
ho, "when they resort to 6uch demagogisrn
as that. Iliutou ought to havo
been pardoned. Tho governor Las
shown more consideration for negro
convicts and pardoned more of thom
than any governor wo havo had."
Hating tho ruilroads and loving tho
negro nr? still campaign capital. It
is all a lie, of course, for no sensible
man docs either to any extent in his
heart. He says ho does, so a* to catch
votes, but ho knows that ho is a bypocrito
when ho says it. Such declarations
are about as sincere as newspaper
editorials and governors' proclamations
against lynching negroes for
their horrible outrages. It is all for
bnnoombe. I've forgotten that fellow's
name,, but T havo always admired
him for his frankness. Whon he was
reminded l>y tho speaker that everybody
bad loft tho house ho ropliod :
"That's all right, sir, I'm not speaking
for them at all, sir. I'm speaking
for Buncombe, my county, sir, and
iuj- constituent^ fur it will bo printed,
sir." And lie kept on witn his argument.
But the way T read it in the goldbug
papers the republicans aro not as jubilant
as they were. They aro somewhat
alarmed even about the state of
New York. I seo 111 yesterday's pollers
that the rich women of New York
city have organized female McKiuley
clubs in every ward and they havo
parceled out the work and arc to visit
t he tenement house s and cauvass among
the toilers. 1 read McKinley's lottor to
these women bidding thorn godspeed
11 nd saving lie was glad to soothe noble
women of this country taking an interest
in polities. This is no fake. It
's published in the republican papers
and to my miml is the first bad break
Mr. McKinlev lias made. The idea of
encouraging women to go canvassing
it* he slums of great cities for votes
IooUh like alarm to say the least of it.
Mr. Bryan has made no break. Every
uttcrano along Ins travels has been in
good taste and entirely proper. He
has not boasted of himself nor abused
his adversaries and wo aro glad to soo
that the people, tlio common people,
heard him gladly and treated him with
the greatest respect. The other day a
fake appeared ttint for a while astounded
ine. The idea that Bon Tillman had
visited Tom Watson to get him to com*
down and take a eabinot mention was
mountrous, for Mr. Bryan chooses his
own cabinet. Ho will not buy thorn,
and if he <lid lion Tillninn would not
be his broker. The overuse politician
seems incapable ??f measuring Mr.
Bryan, lie eati'l conceive of a standard
tb it is fnr above mercenary or
ambitious motives. Neither will Mr.
Bryan for a moment encourage
any attemnt to get Sewall down.
It would be dishonorable. and
*
lie knows it. What in the matter with
Sewall anyhow? Nobody, not even
the republican press, has said a word
against him, evc. pt that his sou is a
republican. Weil, that is hard on the
boy, but nothing against tlm old man
save a suspicion tha' lie didn't whip
him enough mid make him stay in at
night and keep out of bad company.
Tie se populists pretend they don't
like Smvii 1 I t i':m?e he has stock in ft
national back. That's nil hypocrisy,
Kvcrv one >1 tin m would have it, from
Tom Wr.t o.i down, if they could get
it. Whenever 1 hear a pop or auyl
body else denouncing rich men and
banks and bankers I know that bo is a
hypocrite in 'his heart and there is a
streak of envy and meanness and original
sio running down bis bnckbono
as big as a feuoo rail. He lias uon *-iy I

Ilruintucr Hoy and Hero.
A hundred years ago tOet. LI. 170.1?
the French undertook to relievo tlio
town of Mauheuge, on the SauiLre, then
besieged by the Austriaus, and the
Royal Swedish Regiment was sent forward
to occupy the village of I>odriers.
The drummer hoy, u lad of fourteen,
named Struuli, dodging the Austrian
skirmishers, reached the village first,
and at once beat a rousing call to arms
on his drum. Thinking the foe hnd
gained possession' of the village, the
Austriaus retired in great disorder,
thereby enabling the French actually
to-get-4lfche outskirts of Dourt?rs.
The Austriaus, having discovered
their blunder, returned, and Strnuh had
to run for his life. He could not escape,
however, and fell In front of
Dourlers Church, after having himself
shot several of the Hungarian groua/liana

The scene had been witnessed by a
peasant hidden in a loft, who several
years later told it to Btrnuh's brother,
\vlio knew of his death, but not of iho
heroic circumstances attending it. In
1837, during alterations at tlie church,
the ground in front of the building was
opened, and there were found tlie
skeletons of the brave drummer-boy
and seven men, thus continuing the accuracy
of the poasaut's story.

Billy" lit|bbi*ll in his comfortable cottage
uinb'r til" pines. Mr. llubboll established
himself at the Luke Inborn (lio boom eomm?
(ico.I. uuil bus one of the prettiest looutioiis
there.
Mr. 'Hubbell suiil that this was the first
spring in twenty years ill which be bail been
free from his obi enemy, sciatic rheumatism.
He thought ho ha<l contracted this dlseaso
while running as express messenger on the
Krie and other railroads between 1849 anil
1S.VJ, although ho did not feci its acute
symptoms until some fifteen years later. Mr. rj
llubboll is now the second oldest expref^nian
In the United Htatee and recalls many interesting
reminiscences of these early days. In t
1876 he went to the Western frontior, and j
has suffered from sciatic rheumatism ever ,
since. 8 peak Luc of the many efforts he had
made to get relief from this |>alnful ailment, '
ho said that while in New Mexico he visited t
the 1.88 Vegas and Hamas springs, und later r
he tried thoee at Manitou, Col., and Little
Hock, Ark. Comiug east ho tried the White ?
Hulphur Spring. Ohio. St. Catherine, Can., t
und Clifton and Avon, In New York, but q
without being ablo to get the slightest relief. t
As ho advanced iu nge. his trouble became
more painful. "Why," he exclaimed, pointing
to the farm house of William Hurleeou,
about nix hundred feet distant, "I would
yell so when those twinges caught mo thut
they could hoar me down there."
WHIiam II. Hallo-k, owner of nallock's
bank in Hath, is a nojdraw of Mr. Hubbell,
and last winter he insisted that "Uncle lit ly"
should try Piuk l*ill5 for Palo People for
bis rheumatism. Mr. llubt>ell Is free to say
that ha had no faith in the pills whatever,
and only tried them because of the insistence
of Mr. Iluliock. Ho hud already triod
muin IUIIU it Illimuu remedies UOIorO MO
canieto Pink Pills ami as uomo had rendered
him the slightest bene lit. lie was pretty well
discouraged. However. to please Mr. Hallock,
he got a box of Pink PilU. Siin*o then
(some three or four months). Mr. Huhbell
hus not felt a. single t raco ot rheumatism,
and is now on his fourth box of tho pills. He
cauuot explain how this marvelous relief (
was effected, but feels sure it was the pills
which did it, and is now as uthu-lastic in
their endorsement as was his nephew. Mr.
Hallock. Mr. liubboll now eotnes into Bath
almost every day. ami says ho could ride a !
bicycle if ho only had soaio ono to help him
on and off. 1
