Esopus, July 23. The wonder
here is how harmony came so sud
denly and so completely, out of
chaos and division. , Three weeks
ago, the outward appearances were
that the democratic party was split
asunder. A wide chasm yawned
between two uncompromising fac
tions with neither hope or expecta
tion that it : would or could be
bridged. Bo h at the St. Louis
convention, internecine strife and
relentless -war in the democratic
ranks seemed to be in store. 1
. But by magic, by fate, by an in
spiration otzaemocratic leaders, or
else by some unseen,' unknown and
unguessable influence, the scene has
suddenly shifted, and a complete
tidal wave of harmonv in the Dartv
ui ucixoreuu uas ecu tu. - vv uotuti lb
was the matchless announcement
by Judge Parker- in a telegram
which was read round the world, a
telegram that Mr. Bryan heralded
to. 1 . t. ' T1 41
"manly in the man," or whether it
was the forbearance and generous
yielding by that other matchlees
leader, W. J. Bryan, that has sent
the current of democracy moving,
all in one direction and with a re'
sistless sweep, is all uncertain and
unexplainable: - but the - fact re
mains that never before in the his
tory of the Darty, not even in- the
tidal wave of 1892, were there 'so
many signs of party cohesion, and
eo complete absence of- party fric-
tior, Over against this,-ia a bitter
factional trouble locally among the
republicans of the doubtful states,
New York, Indiana, Illinois and
Wieconsin, for these states are all
doubtful, eava New York, which is
reasonably certain to be carried' by
the democrats by a large majority.
In New York the republicau par
ty is split in twain. The old Piatt
leaders, the wheel horses for the
party for many years, have been
cast aside to put in new men of Gov.
Odell' selection. The veteran sen
ior senator has been put on the
shelf, and his friends, whose, polit
ical features are tied up with his,
foresee their fate when Governor
Odell names the candidate for gov-'
ernor, as he intends to do. Gov.
Od ell's plan is to become the junior
United states senator, and with a
governor of his own choice to elim
inate completely the. old Piatt, or
ganization, and the practical politi
cians who will be displaced by this,
procees aie thoroughly conscious of
i'.
In Illinois the republican party
is divided into two factions. The
Roosevelt faction favored the nomi
nation for governor of Frank O.
Lowden and opposed the reoomina
tion of Govenor Yates. Governor
Yates was not strong enough to se
cure his own renomination but he
was strong enough to defeat Mr.
Lowden and to nominate a friend
of his own.
Governor Yates and his friends
blame Mr. Roosevelt for his failure
to be renominated. The Federal
patronage was flagrantly used in all
directions to accomplish this object
and it succeeded. Such things are
not soon forgotten.
In Wisconsin' the breach is wide.
U over nor .La toilette w no bas op
posed the corporations and trusts,
controlled the republican state
convention and renominated him
self. The two United States sena
tors, Spooner and Quarles, and Con
gressman Babcock and the other
representatives of Mr. Roosevelt in
Wisconsin, bolted the convention
and nominated a candidate of their
own for governor. . - -
The Chicago convention, which
was thoroughly controlled by Mr.
Roosevelt as his own domestic affairs
unanimously sustained the bolters'.
In order to try to save the state for
Mr. Roosevelt, the bolters' conven
tion ratified the electoral ticket put
in nomination by the La Follette
convention. La Follette electors
replied by refusing to allow their
names to go on the bolters' . ticket.
Under the Wisconsin law which
provided for the blanket ballot, be
ing in this respect much like the
New York law, the same name can
not be on the ballot twice, and the
voter instead of making one mark
lor tne straight ticket mutt make
marks in several columns. - "
.Every New Yoik , voter knows
what the effect of this provision is.
Unless the Wieconsin election law
be changed or the Wisconsin su
preme court makes a new law by
its interpretatiou of the present one.
Eome of the electors will be in one
column and some in ' another col
umn, .r' - ,V; ';,..- :
In Indiana' there are two repub
lican factions, one composed of the
oldiimerF, at the head of which' is
Senator Fairbanks, republican can
didate for vice-president, and the
other of the youngsters, who look
up to, Senator . Bevendge, word
painter from the Wabaeh, as their
leader.
' In Indiana the democratic organ
ization is now in good condition.
In Wisconsin and Illinois the olive
branch must be waved, and Mr.
Sheehan will do it. On the repub
lican side Senator Fairbanks, the
great negotiator, will manage the
Illinois, Wisconsin and Indiana
campaigns, - , :
-. There are 169 electoral votes of
which Judge Parker is reasonably
certain. The electoral votes above
stated are: "New York, 39; Illi
nois, 27: Wisconsin, 14, and Iodi-
ana, 15, a total of 84. They were
all carried for the democratic ticket
in 1892. That would give Judge
Parker 253 votes,. or 14 more' than
is required, to say nothing of the
strong probability of bis carrying
New Jersey. Connecticut, Colorado
and Idaho'. Judge Parker could
lose Illinois and still be an easy
winner, or if he carried Illinois he
could lose the other debatable
etates, Wisconsin and Indiana.
This is all on the assumption
that Judge Parker carries New
York. Without New York he will
be defeated. In New York the cam
paign will begin at once. It will
follow in general the form of organ'
ization which Governor Tilden
found so successful.- -In the.firet
placfe, there will be a thorough, sys
tematic organization right down to
election district sub-committees.
And in the'second place, a persist
ant appeal will be made to the great
body of conservative, working men,
who make up the mass of the vo
ters, to choose Judge Parker rather
than Mr. Roosevelt, and to base
their choice only on the princi
ples of the two platforms, which dif
fer mainly on imperialism, trusts
and the exorbitant t a rift which
prompt the extortions of the trusts,
but on the character of the two men
themselves. On the one hand the
spasmodic, emotional, turbulent
Roosevelt, on the other the safe,
fane and conservative Parker.
Chicago, July 24. Emulators o,
the exploits of the carbarn banditsf
four youths arrested yesterday, con'
feesed to killing one man in a ba-
loon and holding up and robbing a
score 01 others at different times
The murder was that of John Lane,

The robbing of a freight car of
the Chicago, Milwaukie and St,
Paul, at Fairfield, 111, led to the ar
rest of the quartet. Besides the
freightcar robbery, the young ban
dits confessed to many robberies
prior to July 4, most of which were

Chicago, Joly 22. Not only is
the strike of packing house employ
es on again, but it threatens to
grow into a walkout of even greater
proportions than before apprehend
ed.. President Donnelly this morn
ing ordered all men to quit work
because of alleged discrimination
against members of the teamsters
and mechanical trades unions to
join.
Tbis morning between 15.UUU
and 20,000 butchers who had been
out on strike, went to the stock
yards and reported for work at the
various packmg plants. All , ap
peared overjoyed at the probability
of a quick adjustment and end of
what bad promised to be a lengthy
war. To their dismay they found
that only a few were to be taken
back. For a time they hovered a
round the yards, without, however,
offering any violence to the work
ers. ' '- ' :''' .
It was decided to call a meeting
of the men in a. designated place
and as a result of this gathering a
committee was appointed to wait
upon the packing house managers
and demand reinstatement without
discrimination.
Regardless of the threatening as
pect 01 the situation tne managers
refused even to grant a hearing of
the committee and ordered them
back to the lines where they could
be cille'd upon if wanted. The men,
lufunated at the manager s action,
marched away in a body. In ' the
meantime those of theua who had
been selected by the foreman had
entered the plants and, unaware of
their fellow unionists' predicament,
entered upon their work.
The men who had been turned
away repaired to the union Head
quarters and laid their case before
President Donnelly, lie tried to
get bo me satisfaction from the pack
in g house managers over the tele
phone, but was given curt answers
and immediately issued an official
order calling all the men out.
Resolved that no half-way meas
ures would be adopted he followed
the local call by sending the follow
ing telegram to all packing centers
in the country:
"Order men out today m all de
partments."
.b'rom many outside cities came
telegrams demanding to know why
this action was taken and Donnelly
replied to each that the sole cause
was that the packers had violated
their agreement by showing a de
cided discrimination in the rein
stating of the strikers.
W ben tne order was received in
the plants the wildest excitement
prevailed and from the doors of the
packing plants and out into the
stockyards came an angry army of
men shouting, swearing and indulg
ing in the first violent talk since
the trouble began. Many ot the
workmen were so amazed at the
turn of affairs that they had not
gone to the changing rooms, but
appeared carrying their street garb
over their arms, and dinner pails
in hands and stood around in
groups diseussing the latest phase.
For a time it seemed that rioting
would follow the walkout and hur
ried calls were made for extra po
lice. Bsfore any conflict could oc
cur, however, messengers from Don
nelly sped through the crowds be
seeching the men to leave the vicin
ity of the plants and offer no vio
lence or resistance to the police,
who had by this time began to ap
pear in squads. The strikers sul
lenly obeyed. T
The new strike places the pack
ers in a worse plight than ever, for
practically all the non-union men
left last night fearing to face the re
turned strikers.
The packers immediately- com
plained to Donnelly, who said:
"Ihe superintendents of the va
rious plants walked in among our
men and picked out a few who they
felt assured were friendly to them.
The rest they ignored.
"At Armour's, Nicholas Goer,
president of the Packing .Trades
Council, was passed by four times
At Swift 'r Foreman Murphy was
ignored. PiThe Anglo-American
plant rejirstated only ten men and
Nelson looms bat four. ' It was a
clear case of . discrimination and vi
olation of agreement and a bold at
tempt to disrupt the union. I had
no recourse but to order another
strike."
Donnelly this forenoon called ud
en President Golden tp bring out
the Teamsters' union and the me
chanical trades will also be called
out, involving about 100,000 men.
and will effectually tie up the meat
industry of the United States.
In Kansas City nearly all of the
6,000 members of the meat cutters
struck again at noon today. Cheers -greeted
the order to resume the
strike. .-:;
The vast majority of .'strikers did
not get back their old places this
morning when they applied for ,
work, but were to d tbere were - no
places. open for them.
All the packing huu-e employes
in St. Paul and Omaha cities walked
out this morning. There was no
disorder. : .
Elkins, W. Va., July 15. Hen -
ry Cassa way Davis, democratic can- '
didate for Vice-president, got up '
this morning at 6:30 o'olock after a
restful sleep of eight hours - and ate,
a breakfast that made his secretary,
who is about 29, feel like an inval
id. Then, putting on his long boots
and taking his broad-brimmed farm
hat, be set out for a brisk walk a
cross the lawns of "Graceland," , as
his palatial home back of Elkins is
called. He made his way to the
fields, where already the men were
opening haycocks in expectation of
a good haj day.
Mr. Davis is an energetic farmer
as well as a man of affairs, and the
fifteen men on . the broad estate
know that his quick eye sees every
thing. ' . ,
The first ona of the farm hands
to eee him coming was the old dar
ky, Abram Turner, bent double
with the load of j ears. Turner ia
the gaidener, and his pno idol in '
this world ir "Massa Davis." Tur
ner is a hot republican, but when
the news ot the nomination of Mr. "
Davis reached him he threw 7
down his rake and exclaimed: V
Now am de day of. jubilee.
and dis old darky is goin' fob to
throw his first democratic ticket."
and the old negro picked a great
armful of Maryland roses and '
spread them across the piazza - of
Graceland through which Mr. Da
vis must pass in entering his house.
When Turner saw him coming
into the field this morning he set
up a shout, and the men, white and
black, gathered around the athlet
ic figure of the wonderful old man
and shook his hand.
"It affected me more," said Mr.
Davis to a World reporter tonight,
"than all the congratulations I have
received. I suppose you will smile
when I tell you, but the greatest
pleasure that I have felt since they
woke me in my car at Grafton at 3
o'clock yesterday morning and told 1
me that I had been nominated for
vice-president was when my sweet,
eleven-year-old motherless grand
daughter, Katherine Brown, who
lives with me, came running across
the lawn to meet me, with her arms -outstretched
to give me her usual
hug.
" 'I knew you would be nominat
ed,' she said, and this was the more
surprising to me, because I bad not
dreamed of being chosen. She is a
sweet little girl,, with her mothers
brown hair ahd eyes. Her mother,
you know, is dead," and across the
handsome, kindly face of the man
swept the first light shadow during
the hour he bad been talking with
the reported.
If I had known this was com
ing," he said, "I might have been
ready with some plans for the cam
paign. But I did not know it, so I
have no plans as yet. 1 have been
in telegraphic communication with
Mr. Hill and Mr. bheehan today
and shall go to New York in a
week or eo for a conference.
"I have been receiving eo many
telegrams of congratulation today
that I haven't had time to read
them all. Judge Parker telegraph
ed me. this morning in a very
splendid way. Other telegrams
came from Bar Harbor, Poland
Springs. Me.,' where ex-Governor
E. E. Jackson of Maryland, is;
