Rinciner Denunciation of Im-
berlalism ana Trusts For
i Bryan and Sllyer.
Zanesvllle, O., August 31 John B.
McLean was nominated for Governor
bv the Democratic State Convention
on the first ballot.
Following is an abstract of the dem
ccratic platform :
We heartily reaffirm the entire Chi
cago platform of loyo; and no espe
cially emphasize the financial plank
therein, and we continue to demand
the free and unlimited coinage ot sil
ver and gold as equal in primary mon
ey at the rate of 16 to 1, independent
of all other nations in the world.
The Hon. W. J. Bryan still retains
our entire confidence and we demand
his re-nomination in 1900.
We recognize the solemn fact that
our vcovernment cannot do Doin
oublican and Imperial.
We stand in line with Washington,
Jefferson, Jackson, Lincoln, Grant and
all other American patriots, living and
dead, in desiring the perpetuity of our
Republic.
We ( are radically and unalterably
opposed to imperialism in the United
States of America.. When we nave
solved some of the race problems that
confront us at home, then by example.
we can proclaim the blessings that
flow from free institutions and thus
procure "benevolent assimilation with
out criminal aggression.
We are opposed to entangling alli
ances with foreign kingdoms and em
pires
We commend the action of Congress
in declaring that our war with Spain
was for humanity and not for con
quest
We proudly reco&nize the valor ana
glorious achievements of our .gallant
soldiers and sailors from Bunker Hill
to this very-hour, as being among the
most thrilling and glorious in the his
tory of the world, but we profoundly
regret that American soldiers are being

An Excuse for Lynching.
II any town in tne country can
be said to have a valid excuse for
engaging in a lynching, that town
is Durham. Although we have had
a dozen murders in as many years
there has never been a hanging in
the county and very few of these
murderers have ever been sent to
the penitentiary, the more impor
tant having been acquitted by juries
selected for the purpose. As Par

friends, he may get jastice, but
even considering all this, it is
doubtful. Durham Herald.

Sectionalism in the War-
.bitznugu .Lee, who was a popu
lar hero when he returned from
Cuba, and who, in the popular
mind, was to go back to Cuba at
the head of conquring legions,1 has
been quietly shelved. Other gen
erals who happened to vote right
or to be personal favorites are put
to the front. Lee is governor of a
province, which means that he is
neither governor of Cuba nor gov
ernor of Havana, and he is com
pletely out of the public eye.'
And now, in raising these
regiments, instead of
what must manifestly look
grave discrimination, the difference
is emphasized by making the re
cruiting centres for every one of
these regiments in the North, so
that it is practically impossible
for Southern men to be in them.
The President's policy is wrong in
this, and it is a wrong that may
come back to plague him. If it do
not it will not be for lack of invi
tation. The error seems to us to
be really grave. 1 1
The Philippine campaign ought
