One of the most trying sporting fiends that the farmer has to con tend with in October is the Satun day schoolboy, who, with a single barreled breech-loader and about sixteen years offlunshino to back him, accompanied by half a dozen boys of his own age, sallies forth to seek his hunting fortune. His "game" is anything from a chipping bitd to a woodcbuck. This sports man takes great delight in keeping an outlook for the chipmunk and the red squirrel. Sometimes it happens that the chipmunK look the boys, when they think they have bagged their game ou a stone wall It it) at this supreme moment that half a dozen boys will work like beavers, and it is then that the farmer's fence is being scattered tc find the game that had been shot at aud has disappeared in the stone wall, During this time of woeful destruction, Mastor Chipmunk may be on the corner ot the next cross- .,!.: ; . :. . : I. from a seat on his haunches.

The representatives of the Uemociatic party cf the United States, in national convention as sembled, do reatlirm their allegiance to the pnnciples of the pirty as formulated by Jefferson and exemp lified by the long and illustrious line of his successors in the Demo cratic leakership from Madison to Cleveland. We believe tbe public welfare demands that these piinci ples he applied to the conduct ot the Federal Government through the accession to power of the party that advocates these and we solemn ly declare the need of return to these fundamanta! principles of free popular governruenr, based ou home rale and individual liberty, was never moro urgent thau now, when the tending to ceutralize all power at the Federfil capital has become a menace to the reserved rights of the States that strikes at the very root of onr Government under the con stitution as framed by the fathers of the republic. Section 2. Wo warn the people of our common country, jealous tor the preservation of their free insti tutions. that the policy of Federal control of elections, to which the Republican party has committed itself, is fraught with the gieate-t dangers, scarcely less momentous than would result from revolution, practically established monarchy ou the ruins of the republic, It strikes at the North as well as at the South and injures t he colored citizens even more than the bite. Ir. means a batid of Deputy Murahalle at every polling plice armed with federal authority ; the outrage of the elee tral right of the people iu the sev eral States, the subjugation of col ored peopie in control of the party in power and the reviving of race itntogonism now happily abated, of the utmost peril to the safety and liappinecs of all. It means, deli Ik erately and justly described by a leading Republican Senator as "the most infamous bill that ever crossed the threshold of the Senate.1' Such policy if sauctioned by law, would mean the dominotion of the oligarchy of office-holders and the party riist entrusted with its machinary Gould be dislodged from power only by an appeal to the reserved right of the people to resist oppression, which is inherent in all self governing communities. Two years ago this revolutionary policy was emphatic cally condemned by the people at the polls, but iu contempt of that verdict the Republican, party has defiantly declaied in its latest ail' thoritive utterance that its success in the coming elections will mean the enactmeut of the Force bill and the usurpation ot despotic control over elections in all the States. Bd lieveing that the preservation ol the Republican Government in the Uni ted States is dependent upou the defeat ot this policy of legalized force and fraud, we invite the sup port of all citizens who desire to see the constitution maintained in its integrity with laws pursuant there to, which have given our couutry a hundred years of unexpected pros perity, and we pledge the Demo cratic party, if it be entrusted with power, not only to the defeat of the Force bill, but also to a relentless opposition to the Republican policy of profligate expenditure which, in the short space of two years has squandered an enormous surplus, emptied an overflowing treasury after piling new bnrdens of taxation upon the already over taxed la'jor of the country. Section 3. we denounce the Repubhcau protection as a fraud on the labor of the great maioiitv of the American people for the ben efit of a few, We declare it to be ' a fundamental principle ot the Dem ocratic party that the Federal Gov ernment has no constitutional pow- er to impose aud collect tariff duties, ; except for purposes of revenue only, ! and we demand that, the collection i of such taxes shall be limited to the i necessities of the Government when i honestly aod economically adminis I tered. j We denounce the McKinley tariff 'law enacted by the Fif'tyfirst Con- gie.Hs as the culminating atrocity of class legislation. Wo endorse the etl'ort made ly the Democrats ol the present Congress to modify its most expressive features iu the di. rectiou of free raw material and cheaper manufactured goods that enter into general consumption, and we promise its repeal as one ol the bonefieent results that will fol low the action ol the people iu en trusting power to the Democratic party. Since the M Kinley tariff wont into operation theie have b.Tu teu reductions of wages of laboring men to one iuerease. We deny that there has been any iucrerse, of pros perity to the country since that tar iff went uito operation and we point to the dullness acd distress, wage reductions and strikes in the iron tradt M3 tie best . possible evicJiuce that no snob prosperity has resulted from the McKinley act. We call attention of the thoughtful Ameri can to the fact that alter thirty years of restrictive taxes against importation of foreign wealth in ex change for our agricultural surplus, the homes and farms of the couutry have become burdened with a real estate moitgage debt of over $2, 500,000,000, exclusive ot all otber tor ins of indebtedness j that in the chief agricultural State of the West there are real estate mortgage debts averaging 165 per capita of the total population and that simi-j lar conditions and tendencies are shown to exist iu other agricultural States. We denouuee a policy which fosters no industry, so much as does tnat ot the sheriff. Section 4. Trade interchange on the basis of reciprocal advantages to the countries participating in a t:rue bound doctrine of Democratic faith, but we denouuee the sham reciprocity which juggles with the people's doctrine ir enlarged fors eign markets and fall exchanges in preteuding to establish closer trade relations for the country whoso ar ticles of export are almost exclusive ly agricultural products with other countries that are also agricultural, while erecting the custom house barrier of prohibition tariff bills against the richest country of the world that stand ready to take an entire surplus of products and to exchange therefor for commodities which are necessaries and comforts ol life among our own people. Section 5. We recognize in trusts and combinations, which are designed to enable capital to secure more thau its just share of the joint pioductof capital and labor, the the natural consequence of the pro hibitive taxes which prevent free competition, which is the life of honest trade, but we believe these evils can be abated by law, and we demand rigid enforcement of the laws made to prevent and control them, together with such further legislation in restraint of these abuses as experience may show to to be necessary. Section 0, The Republicau par ty, while professing the policy of securing public land for small holdf. ings by actual settleis, has given away the people's heritage till now lew railroads and non-resident aliens, individual and corporate, possess a larger area than all of onr farms between the two seas. The last Democratic administration re versed the improvident aud unwise policy of the Republican party touching the public domain, and reclaimed from the corporations aud syndicar.es, alien and domes tic, and restored to the people neais ly 100,000,000 acres ot valuable land to be scaicely held at homes sredds for onr citizen?, and we pUdge ourseKes to continue this Ud worthy of foreign lands, policy until every acie of land mi! Sectiou 13- This convention .e unlawfully held shail be reclaimed and restored to the peopie. Section 7. We denounce the Re publican legislation known as the Sherman act oi 1890 as a cowardly make shift, frought with possibili ties of danjrer in the future which should make all of its supporters, the pension office 1MI be done iu a well as its author, anxious for its 'dustriously, impartially and honest sr.-A.iv reneal. We hold to the useHv. We denounce the present ad of both trold and silver as the stand- ard money of the country aud tojpetent, corrupt, disgraceful and dis the coinage ot both gold nnd silver withoat discriminating against either metal or charge lor mintage, i but the dollar unit ;or the uoinagt of both metals must b ol equal, nsiinsic aud exchangeable value or bo adjusted through international agreement or by sut-h safeguard of legislation as shall ensure the main tenance of the parity of the two medals, and the equal power of evvry dollar at all times iu the market and in the payment ot debts and we demand that all paper cur rency nhall be kept at par with and redeemable in such coin. We insist upon this policy as especially un- j necessary lor the protettiou of farmeis and laboring classes, the riist and most defenseless victim of unstable money and fluctuating currency, Sectiou 8. We recommend that the piobibitory 10 per cent, tax ou dtate bank issues te repealed. Section G. Public office is a pub' lie trust. We reaffirm the declara ration of the Democratic Natioual couveulion of 1876 tor the reform ot the civil service aud we call for hon est enforcement of all laws regulat ing the same. The nomination of a President, as in the recent Repub lican convention, by delegations composed largelv of his appointees, holding office at his pleasure, is a scandalous t-atire upou free institu tions and a staitling illustration of the methods by which a President may gratify his ambition. We de nouueo the policy under which Federal office holders usurp control of party conventions in the States, and we pledge the Democratic par ty to a reform of theeand all other abuses which threaten individual liberty and local self government, Section 10. The Democratic pus ty is the only prUt3' that has ever giveu the couutry a foreign poiiey cousistant aud vigorous, compelling respect abroad and inspiring con fidence at home. While avoiding entangling alliances, ir. has aimed to cultivate friendly, relations with other nations and especially with our neighbors on the American con tinent, whose destiny is closely linked with our own, and we view with alarm the teudeucy to a policy of irritation and bluster which is liable- at any time to confront us with the alternative of humiliation or war. We favor the maintenance of a navy stroug enough for all purposes of national defence and to properly maintain the honor aud dignity of the country abroad. Section 11 This country has al ways been the retugc of the op pressed from every land, exiles lor conscience sake, and in the spirit of the founders ol our Government, we condemn the oppression pracs ticed by the Russian Government upon its Lutheran ami Jewish sub jects, and we call upon our Nation al Government, iu the interest ot justice and humanity, by all just and proper means to use its prompt and best efforts 10 hring about a cessation of these ciuel persecutions iii the dominions of the Czar and to secure to the. oppiessd equal rights. We tender our profound and earn est sympathy to those lovers of free dom, who are struggling for Home Rule aud the great cause of self goveinmeutio Ireland. Section 12. We heartily approve all legitimate efforts to prevent the United States from ueing used as a dumping ground for the knon crimiuals and proh ssioual paupers of Europe, aud we demand rigid en forcement of laws agaiu-t Chiuee immigration or importation of for eign woikiuen under contract to tiegrade American labor and le:-seu it--', wages, bur e condemn and de nounce hiiv and all attempts to re strict immigration of the industrious 'ews the expre.-smn ot appiecianon ( f patriotism of the cotdicrs ot the Union in the war for its preserva j tion, and we favor just and liberal J tensions for all disabled Union sol- j diers, their widows and dependents, tmt we demand that the work of i j ministration of that office as inconis j honest. Sectioa 14. The Federal Gov ernment should care for and improve ihe Mississippi river and other great water ways ot the republic so as to secure lor the interior States easy aad cheap transportation to tide water. When any water way of the public is of sufficient importance to demand aid of the Government such aid should bo extended to a definite plan of continuous work until permanent impi ovement is rex ceived. Section l.r. For the purposes ol national defen-u h and the promo tion of cf uitneree between the Stares we lecognize the early construction of the Nicaragua canal and its pro- tection against foreign control as ot gieat importance to the United Srates. Section 16. Ke'ogoizing the World's ColumbMu Exposition as a national undertaking of vast import tance, in which the general Govern ment has invited the co-operation ot powers of the world and appreci ating the acceptance by many of such powers of the invitation ex tended, and the broadest liberal ef forts being made by them to con tribute to the grandeur of the uu dr-r faking, we are of opiuion that Congress should make such financial appropriation as shall be requisite tc the maintenaure of the national honor and public f t it It. Section 17. Popular education be ing (he only safe basis of popular suffrage, we recommend to the sev-j eral states most liberal appropria tions for public schools. Free com mon schools are the nursery of good Government and they have always received the fostering care of the Dfinoeratic parly, which faiois ev ery means ol increasing intelligence. Freedom of educ itiou being au es- sential of civil and religious liberty, as well as necessity for the develop ment of intelligence, must not bo in tejfered with under any pietexl whatever. Wo aie, oppo.sed to stale iuteiference with pareutal rights and rights of conscience in ti e edu cation of childien as an infringe ment of the fundamental Democrat ic doctrine that the largest individ ual liberty,consislent wilh the rights ot others, insures the highest type of our citizenship and Ihe bust Gov ernmeut. Section 18. Wn approve the acts ion of Ihe present House of Repre sentatives iu passing bills lor the admission into the Union as stales of the Territories of New Mexico and Arizona, and we favor the ear admission of all territories having necessary population and resources to admit them to statehood and while they remain territories we hold that the officials appointed to administer the government ot any territory, together with the Districts of Columbia and Alaska should be bona fide residents of the territory or district in which their duties are to be performed. The Democratic party believes in home rule and control of their own affairs bv the people of the vicinage. Section 10. We favor legislation by congress and Ihe nrate Legisla tures to protect the lives and limbs of railway employes and those of j other hazardous transportation! companies and denounce the iriac- j tiviry of the Republican party and pltt cularly the Republican senate fcr causing the defeat of the meas urrs beneficial to this class of wage workers. Section 20. We are in favor of enactment by S'ates of iaws for abolishing the notoiious stealing stem, for abolishing contract con vict labor and fr prohibiting em j.Ioyment in f-c-ones of children under 15 years of are. .Section 21. We are opposed to h11 sump'nary laws as an interfer ence with the indiv i!ual rights of er.izcn?, 22 Upon this s'fitement of prin doles and policies the Democratic firty a-ks the intelligent judgment of the Amfcricwi people; It asks a change of administration and a cbage of party, n order that there may be a change of systems and a change of methods, thus assuring the maintenance unimpaired of the institutions under wh'ch the Re public has growu great and power- fnl.

When the government owns the railroads, as demanded by the Third party people, no taxes will be collected from thorn. Had you thought of that! If nrt, just stop and think for a mo ment. Of course everybody knows that government pioperty is not taxed At all, and therefore wnen the railroads become the properly of the government they will not bo taxed. H o railroads now pay many mil lions of dollars ever yc;r as taxes to the States, counties and towns through which they run. Rut when tiio government owns them, no state, county or town get one cent of tax from them. Now isn t litis "financial reform a:d relief with a vengeance ! In order to give relief to the farmers, in eider to lighten their taxes, the Third party people propose toex empt the railroads from all taxation. And in order to do this Democrats are urged lo desert and disrupt their old party ' Of course the more property that is exempt from taxation, the higher must be the rate of taxation on the property tint is taxed. And therefoie when the railroads are owned by the gov ernment ami are exempt from tax ation, of course a higher rate must helevhd on laud and personal property. What sort ot relief will this give our people. Louisburg T'imcs. CJIJARANTKKI) C1IRK.
