The platform, which was nnani'

arraignment of the Chlcag* platform,
which was declared to be “revolution
ary and destructive of Democratic
principles.” The cendldates were de

Mr. Newull as a “subsidized ship

contains a strong presentation of the

economical expenditure, civil aorvlce
reform, the duty of the government

SENATOR BACON'S VIEW
■•publicans Arming With Argument,
But Silver Sentiment Unchanged
Washington, Aug. 32 —United State*
Senator Bacon of Georgia, who has
Just returned from thu Pacific coast,

day. He said that as the sentiment
now existed in the country liryan
would be elected, but that Repub

fore election, lie feiied to see that
the sentiment of the country through
which he had passed had changed, but
was inclined to think that the money
which the Republicans were put
ting into the campaign would
have Its effect. He did not mean
by this that the voters would be
bought, hut that the Republicans
would get their literature more largely
circulated, would have more speakers
and would have more and better in
formed men at many places who
would be able to defeat the Demo

stations and other places where there
were groups of men arguing the silver
Question, that it was a central thine
the Republican was better Informed
and could array his argument with
more effect, and when he got the bet

wae likely to carry the crowd with
him. This he attributed to a large
circulation of literature and special
work of the Republicans, who were
floating men everywhere. He thought

This frequently lasted until midnight, !
As fnst as one speaker wearied another

The police made numerous and fu
tile efforts to scatter the disputauta 1
sud finally made several arresta Two
cases came before Judge Cox of the
elty court and the last lime, with
much Impatience, ha discharged tha
defendants, holding that there waa
no decision by any court, high or low,
where it was held that a man violated |
the law by discussing politics
in the street. "On the contrary," ha
continued, "all of the decisions are
the other way The right of [
free speech Is fundamental In onr oon- 1

police force can stop It. It Is the right '
of American citizens This Is a time

The court also criticised the policy '

CAUSE OF 8UNSTROKE
Wew fork Scientists Discover Thai Baal
Evolves a Blood Poison.
New York, Aug. 23.—'Tha causa of
sunstroke has been definitely discov
ered, according to the claims of offi
cers of the state pathological institutes
They have made Investigations which
show that. Instead of the sun’s rays
being the direct cause of sunstroke,
as has all along been believed by the
medical profession, the internal chem
istry of the body and Its secretions
are so modified by atmospheric condi
tions of excessively hot weather that
some of these secretions become ab
normal, either in (juality or Quantity,
and are absorbed by the blood and act
as virulent poisons.
On the first day of the recent heat
plague, Ur. Ira T. Van Oieson, direc
tor of the State Pathological institute,
assisted by two physicians, oegan in
vestigations. 'i'lie conditions were
peculiarly fortunate for the success
of the prosecution of their work, A
record was kept of all cases and ex
periments were made on acute cases
Animals treated with an infusion of
blood from living cases just after they
had been stlcken by the sun had con
vulsions within an hour and a half
and usually died. The physicians are
convinced from the results of these
experiinment* that sunstroke la really
blood poiaanlng.

What Chairman Hotter of tha Popallat

Approved by the National Committee.
The Popallat Sltoatloa.
Washington, Aug. 31.— Chairman
Duller, of the Populist national oora
mittee, was asked the following ques
tion last night: “In view of your
statement to the effect that the Popu
list candidates are Dry an and Watson,
and will be until the close of the cam
paign, and will be earnestly supported
to the end without discriminations
for or against either, what will be the
position of vour committee with refer
ence to those Hiates where Democrats
and Populists have fused by the latter
tuking the Hlate ticket and the former
all of the electoral ticket?”
“We have no olllciul In formation,"
lie replied, “that this has been done
In any state; but if It has been done,
or is contemplated, the national com
mittee will not approve or recognise
It. The highest law of any party Is
the action of its natioual conventions.
No man or state organisation car. be
disloyal to such supreme authoilty
without arraying Itself in direct and
hostile opposition to the national
convention. Our national convention
nominated llryan and Watson by
an overwhelming majority, and It la
the bounden duty of every loyal
Populist to support both of tnesc can
didate* earnestly and loyally; and,
hesldea, Watson stands for wliut
Jtryan stands for. and therefore
llryan and Watson is the only ticket
that represent* the principles that the
People's party believe in and have
contended for from the beginning.
Mr. So wall Is no more the candidate
of the People's party than is Mr.
Ilo. <art.
•‘The executive committee will sea
that the action of our national con
vention Is maintained In every state,
hilt if there should arise disaffection
or disloyalty to either of our candi
dates in any state, then We are sure
that there are true Populists In such
states who will support* whole t icket,
and such alone will he recognized hy
our national committee."
‘‘Does this mean you will insist upon
a .traightout llryan and Watson ticket
In every state?"
"Mo; hut it means that wherever
i’opuifs's and Democrats join force,
on the electoral ticket there must be
a due and proper recognition of each
party's candidate hy a just and equit
able division of electors supporting
the candidates of the respective war
tics.”
Senator iintler was asked what ef
fect this announcement would hive
upon the fusion In Kansas, where the
Populist* took the State ticket and
the Democrats the electoral ticket.hut
he declined to go Into spec lie d>-tails,
saying his announcement related to
the general policy of the committee.

tha duty of Mr. Bryan to enter into
personal controversy with every hire
ling newspaper scribbler who ie em
ployed to eleader or defame him. Tha
people understand tha animus of par
tisan newn| spurs, and make proper
allowances for their assertions, but
when you sloths their slanders in your
official rob* a. it is a lame and ooward
|y defense on your pert to proieet
yourself by skulking liehlnd misera
ble newspaper scribblers.
“If you have no ease agalaet Mr.
■ryan. whloh you already virtually
admitted by siting Irrelevant, taaom
peleal hearsay to prove yoar charge,
your etauders will be harmless ao far
as ha la eoaeeraed, but can you afford
to be published to tha world as a end

prove? If yew have any friends wha
supposed that yoa were both hoeest
