' GOLD STANDARD 1131611110311 The Chicago Principle Reiterated—Sym- pathy For Cuba. and the Miners—In- vestigation of the State Treas- urer's Office Demanded. Reading, 132., Sept. 1.—The following is the platform adopted today by the Democratic state convention in session here: _ We, the Democracy of Pennsylvania, in convention assembled, heartily re- affirm and reiterate the principles of the Democratic party as expressed in the platform adopted by the national convention at Chicago in 1896 and ap— proved by 6,500,000 free and independent voters. We are firmly and unalterably opposed to the single gold standard, which has been the direct cause of the financial distress that has fallen up— on our people since its adoption, and we are in favor of a complete and immedi- ate return to our original specie basis as it existed prior to the demonetization act of 1873. We congratulate William J. Bryan, the glorious champion of a righteous cause, on his masterly leadership in support of their principles. We denounce the Dingley tariff law as a measure designed and passed in answer to the demands of trusts and monopolies, every important feature of which is a refuge for the protection of some trust or combination existing in opposition to the public good and in violation of the common law. The - schedule is in brief an assessment upon the individual citizens of the country for the benefit .of trusts in return for money advanced to carry the recent election and add enormously to the bur- _ dens of labor by increasing the costs of the necessaries of life without enhanc~ ing in the least respect the wages of labor. . A_Good Word For Cuba. _ We abhor the character of the war- fare waged by the government of Spain against the inhabitants of the hapless island of Cuba, in which the humane methods of. civilized warfare have given place to savage atrocities committed upon unarmed civilians and defenseless women and children. The ruthless na- ture of the conflict waged as well as the danger to our own peace inevitably re- sulting from the further continuance of 'such a system of anarchy so near our bender renders immediate armed inter- vention by our government imperative. F We ask the honest people of this com- monwealth to examine the legislative and other records of Republican action in Pennsylvania since the assumption of unlimited power conferred at the last election, -the gross extravagance, the flagrant corruption, the total neglect of every public interest, the abject servil- ity to monopolies and every form and species of jobbery, the utter disregard of constitutional mandates, the reckless hampering with finance and taxation, the exhaustion of the tneasury by prof- ligate expenditures, the consequent suf- fering of public schools, charities and other objects of wise public care, to- gether with the scandalous fury of the factions enraged over the spoils of the prostrate commonwealth and of its sev- eral ring ruled cities. ~ T’Ve especially call attention to the management of the state treasury de- partment and. demand an investigation of the books and accounts of the state treasurer, a full statement of the re- ceipts and expenditures, a complete ex- planation -of the deposits of the state funds, securities held, bondsmen thereon as required by statute and an itemized report of securities held by such favor- ed banks for said funds and the amount of contributions made in consideration of such deposits to the campaign fund of the party in power. Sympathy For Miners. . We sympathize with the miners of the commonwealth in their unequal strug- ngle to obtain a fair.compensation for their daily toil and declare that the an- cient and Anglo- Saxon right of trial by jury ought to be preserved, and we de- plore the tendency of certain federal and state courts to detract from this right by an unwarranted extension and abuse of the remedy of injunction in differ- ences between capital and labor. We hereby ratify the selection by the Democratic state central committee of James M. Guffey of Pittsburg, who so loyally supported the Hon. William J. Bryan for the presidency, to fill the po- sition of national committeeman from Pennsylvania ., on the national Demo- cratic committee. We desire here to record our appreciation of the eflicient performance of his duties by our state. chairman, John M. Garman, and his fidelity to his party and its principles. . , Struck by a Locomotive. . New .,York, Sept. 1.——William H.

Colonel Gordon’s British Belief Column Defeats the Indian Rebels. Simla, India, Sept. 1.—The tribesmen who were in possession of Kohat pass have beén dispersed by Colonel Gordon, who started at the head of a column on Aug. 29 to relieve and re-enforce the British garrisons in th Samana moun- tains. Colonel Gordon is continuing his advance. The town of Hangu, near Kohat, is threatened by the enemy. The Beloochi tribesmen have risen near Mach and crossed the Afghan frontier. The Ghazis have made a raid near Quetta, killing six natives. During the early part of last week Khyber pass was the scene of the hard- est fighting in India. The rebellious Afridis stormed the British forts in that important road to Kabul and carried them one after the other. The garri- sons were driven out and compelled to flee to Jamrood, about six miles from the mouth of the pass, where a heavy body of government forces is concen- trated. The last post in the pass fell on Wednesday. Hadda Mollah, the “mad priest,” then announced that his followers would rest until about the middle. of September. Since then they have kept the pass closed. The scene of the conflict then shifted 30 miles to the south to thevalley of the Kohat, from the Afridis tribesmen to the Orakzais, who got'possession of the whole countryside.
