Joy, a prominent St. Louis lawyer, to a reporter of the Washington Star. “A wealthy man, died, and as fine a coffin was obtained as money could buy. There was some very heavy solid silver plate on it. As the hearse moved off, a well-dressed, businesslike looking man was seen to enter it, carrying a little sack as if of tools. Every one who noticed him at all supposed he was an assistant of the undertaker. Just before the processidn reached the ceme. tery the man emerged from the hearse and went ahead, disappearing at the gate. When the coffin was removed, all of the trappings were gone and the young man was not to be found.

The executive committee of the National Democratic Party was in session at Chicago yesterday and issued a call for a national convention at Indianapolis on September 2d. After dwelling on the ancient faith of the party the ¢all says: “In-violation of the trust committed to them, a majority of the delegates assembled in the convention, ignoring the rights of the minority, un_ seated regularly elected delegates to make place for others in sympathy with themselves. They proclaimed a sec ‘. tionat-combination of the south and . ted. west against the north and east. They impeached the honesty and patriotism of President Cleveland, who under exceptional embarrassments produced by past errors of legislation, has heroically maintained the honor and integrity of the public.

This platform is in its policies dangerous to the welfare and life of free government. Itis mischievous in its tendencies, but even mora threatening and mischievous as the spirit of the convention that adopted it. The spirit i manifested not alone by this affirmative action but as well by its rejection of every proposition tending to temper the declarations of the convention with conservatism. and justice. The platform proposes to degrade the coin. of the United States by means of free unlimited and independent coinage of silyer by our government and by the exercise of power of the nation to compel the acceptance of depreciated coins at their normal value, thereby working injustice to creditors, defrauding the laborer of a large part of his-earnings and savings, robbing pensioned soldiers of part of their pensions. Contracting the currency by expulsion of gold from circulation, injuring, if not destroying domestic and (foreign commerce. While professing to advocate the policy of bimetallism it. censures the present Democratic administration for maintaining the parity. of gold and silvér. It proposes to reduce this country/to a condition of silver monometallism with its vacillating and unreliable standard of values, and tends to bring the farmer, wage-earner and salaried men to the in countries in which the silver standard prevails and where the rewards of anywherein the world. With what seems to be a deliberate attempt to mislead the people it asserts that by the coinage act of 1873 the United States and that gold has appreciated and commodities have fallen in price solely by reason of this legislation. It ignores the fact that prices of commodities have fallen because of the enlarged use of labor-saving machinery, increased ‘production and resulting competition. It suppresses the fact that a potent reason for the decline in price of silver has been the discovery of new and cheaplyworked mines, resulting in an enormoiis increase in its production. Instead of recognizing these facts it appeals to the prejudice of people. It demands the free coinage of silver at the arbitrary and fictitious ratio of 16 to 1, although the tatio established in the world’s market is about 82 to 1; and although neither experience nor reason warrants belief that the commercial ratio between metals can be reduced by the action of this government to and ratio ‘even approximating that proposed,~ —_—_—_—_—— The Spread of supersiicaen.

He Beat the Undertaker While Conducting'a Funeral, “The most enterprising thief I ever heard of was one whom I was appointed by a Court to, defend,” said Henry W. Joy, a prominent St. Louis lawyer, to a reporter of the Washington Star. “A wealthy man, died, and as fine a coffin was obtained as money could buy. There was some very heavy solid silver plate on it. As the hearse moved off, a well-dressed, businesslike looking man was seen to enter it, carrying a little sack as if of tools. Every one who noticed him at all supposed he was an assistant of the undertaker. Just before the processidn reached the ceme. tery the man emerged from the hearse and went ahead, disappearing at the gate. When the coffin was removed, all of the trappings were gone and the young man was not to be found. He melted the silver and sold it, and had it not been for a pal betraying him, he would never have been canght.” Death of John H. Prodger, Jobn H.

The executive committee of the National Democratic Party was in session at Chicago yesterday and issued a call for a national convention at Indianapolis on September 2d. After dwelling

on the ancient faith of the party the ¢all says: “In-violation of the trust committed to them, a majority of the delegates assembled in the convention, ignoring the rights of the minority, un_ seated regularly elected delegates to make place for others in sympathy with themselves. They proclaimed a sec ‘. tionat-combination of the south and . ted. west against the north and east. They impeached the honesty and patriotism of President Cleveland, who under exceptional embarrassments produced by past errors of legislation, has heroically maintained the honor and integrity of the public.

This platform is in its policies dangerous to the welfare and life of free government. Itis mischievous in its tendencies, but even mora threatening and mischievous as the spirit of the convention that adopted it. The spirit i manifested not alone by this affirmative action but as well by its rejection of every proposition tending to temper the declarations of the convention with conservatism. and justice. The platform proposes to degrade the coin. of the United States by means of free unlimited and independent coinage of silyer by our government and by the exercise of power of the nation to compel the acceptance of depreciated coins at their normal value, thereby working injustice to creditors, defrauding the laborer of a large part of his-earnings and savings, robbing pensioned soldiers of part of their pensions. Contracting the currency by expulsion of gold from circulation, injuring, if not destroying domestic and (foreign commerce. While professing to advocate the policy of bimetallism it. censures the present Democratic administration for maintaining the parity. of gold and silvér. It proposes to reduce this country/to a condition of silver monometallism with its vacillating and unreliable standard of values, and tends to bring the farmer, wage-earner and salaried men to the in countries in which the silver standard prevails and where the rewards of anywherein the world. With what seems to be a deliberate attempt to mislead the people it asserts that by the coinage act of 1873 the United States and that gold has appreciated and commodities have fallen in price solely by reason of this legislation. It ignores the fact that prices of commodities have fallen because of the enlarged use of labor-saving machinery, increased ‘production and resulting competition. It suppresses the fact that a potent reason for the decline in price of silver has been the discovery of new and cheaplyworked mines, resulting in an enormoiis increase in its production. Instead of recognizing these facts it appeals to the prejudice of people. It demands the free coinage of silver at the arbitrary and fictitious ratio of 16 to 1, although the tatio established in the world’s market is about 82 to 1; and although neither experience nor reason warrants belief that the commercial ratio between metals can be reduced by the action of this government to and ratio ‘even approximating that proposed,~ —_—_—_—_—— The Spread of supersiicaen.
