OiSGRESS OF CUBS
Last Day of the Democratic
Meeting in Indianapolis.
STRING. OF RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED
Bryan, Stevenson and Donrke Cocfc
rau. Were the Principal Speak
ers Yesterday.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Oct- 4. Govern
or McMlllin, of Tennessee, presided at the
morning session of the National. Associa
tion, of Democratic Clubs. President W.
P. Hearst did not arrive this morning and
it la probable that he may not come at
all.
The convention took up the report of
the Committee on Permanent Organiza
tion as soon as the session began. The
report recommended that the following
officers be elected: W. R. Hearst, presi
dent; Max F. Ihmsen, secretary; Marcus
Daly, treasurer.
It was also recommended by the com
mittee that tho executive committee -which
now consists of 17 members, be increased
io 45 members, a member from each state
After an animated discussion Jt was unan
iouely decided not to Increase the mem
bership of the Executive Committee.
The remainder of the report of the com
mittee on Permanent Organization was
adopted.
McMiHen Prediction.
Governor McMlllin, of Tennessee, In
taking the chair, made,. an. ..address, in
which lie aald: -. ?.
"We .have a great dear of work before
us yet . The object of, the existence of
this organization is more thorough or
ganisation throughout the United, States.
What I want you to do Is, when you. go
"back home, organize, organize, organize,
until there will be nothing but Democrat
ic clubs everywhere. No more splendid
candidate was ever nominated by the
American people than we have. Tet our
enemies .sometimes say that he has been
beaten dnce. Yes, and only 20 yeais af
ter -Jefferson bad written the Declaration
of Independence that has freed all of
mankind that are now free, he was beat
en. Bnt four years afterwards, in 1S00, we
saw iilm triumphantly elected.
"When Washington and his associates
had won freedom In the land by reason of
a large British navy, freedom was still
denied on the sea. The second war with
Great Britain came. Its defeat, its dis
tress, almost to discouragement, are
known everywhere but in the
hour of defeat there came one
from Tennessee who said: 'By the eter
nal, there shall be no more ships searched'
and there "were no snore searched. The
battle of New Orleans settled that ques
tion and by the thunder of cannon and
the crack of rifles. General Jackson did
what diplomacy did not dare demand
when the treaty was signed, and yet in
less than 20 years from that General
Jackson was beaten. The American peo
ple treasured up the wrong of Jackson,
as they treasured the wrongs of the au
thor of the Declaration of Independence
and four years after his defeat for the
Presidency, as a Democratic nominee, we
saw him triumphantly elected.
"Only a few years after Cleveland was
defeated the Democrats nominated him
again and he was elected.
"I beg of our enemies to remember that
history will repeat Itself. We hare just
put forward a man without spot or
blemish, and when the ides of November
come It will be recorded that as three
candidates defeated have been elected,
so the fourth vjll be., and William Jen
Vnlngs Bryan will be President of the
United States' (Great applause.) -
Lewis G. Stevenson, of - Bloomlngton,
111., Western representative of the -National
Association of Democratic Clubs,
and son of Adlai E. Stevenson, was tile
next speaker. He said, in the course or
.his address:
"The anti-imperialists today represent
the conscience of the nation. Theyi de
clare that we were right when in the
beginning of the war witn Spain" we
pledged ourselves not to be swept into con
quest and forcible aggression. They be
lieve that President McKinley was near
er the truth when he wrote "Forcible an
nexation, according to our American code
of tndrals, would be criminal aggression,'
than when a few months l.ter he forgets
these words and boastlngly cried: "Who
dares pull down the flag?" "
Augustus Thomas, the playwright of
New York, made an address, after which
the committee on resolutions submitted
Its report.
Platform Adopted.
The resolutions commend the Kansas
City platform, declare a Democratic club
should be organized in every precinct in
the nation; appeal to every Democrat in.
the country to pledge himself to win one
vote for the party; declare that the evi
dence that great corporations are endeav
oring to control the votes ot tneir em
ployes p top plain to be denied; condemn
the present Administration for its "nag
rant "refusal to enforce the federal anti
trust statute"; denounce the Adminis
tration for "permitting two republics In
South Africa to be destroyed without
a word of sympathy"; condemn failure
vigorously to prosecute the men connected
with the Cuban postal frauds; declare that
all American institutions are In danger;
proclaim sympathy with the coal 'miners
of Pennsylvania in their stand against
the anthracite coal trust, and hope they
raay "secure such speedy settlement as
will afford them better wages; assert the
election of McKinley would mean the
perpetuation of war taxes, entangling al
liances with the monarchies of Europe
and colonial exploitations in remote
parts of the world, compelling an increase
of the national debt and enforced mili
tary service, and declare the election of
Mr. Bryan will mean, the salvation ot
the country.
The resolutions were unanlmousij
adopted.
Hon. George B. McClelland, of New
York, followed with an address denounc
ing Imperialism.
Brief Addresses were made by Mrs. Eva
McDonald Vallesh, of Washington, D. C;
Mrs. Maria E. Walker, of Chicago, pres
ident of the National Women's 3ryan
league, and Hon. Ml I. .Lockwood, of
Pennsylvania, president of the National
Anti-Trust League. At the conclusion of
Mr. Lockwood's address the convention
recessed until 2 o'clock.
The hall was thronged with people in
the afternoon, probably 5000 being pres
ent, but as the hour approached for, the
advent of Mr. BVyjtn Mt 4 o'clock,-' the
aisles were rilled' and the half'thronged
to ai degree of "almost suffocation. '
Adlnl'j! Speech.
The first speaker was Adlal E. Steven
' con, who said, In part:
"$.t Argurs well that in this battle for
the preservation of true government ro
many of the young Democrats of the
country are actively and earnestly at
work. The Importance of the struggle
for political supremacy cannot be meas
ured by words. The supreme Issue is that
of 'republic or empire.' Important and
far-reaching as the trust evil is, it is sec
ondary to the- yet greater evil ofjm
perialism. Nq-unmeaning words are used
when it Is declared the 'paramount is
sue of the campaign. Imperialism was
the issue of the pending contesjt before
even the assembling of political conven
tions. "Tho Republican administration Is 'en
gaged in the prosecution of war, and this
without the constitutional requirement of
c. formal declaration of war by Congress,
it Is in the strictest sense an administra
tion war. The re-election of President
McKinley will be held by himself and his
party and justly so as an endorsement
of the policy of the Administration to
wards the Philippine ipianos. iet no
Republican with an uneasy conscience de-
lude himself with the hope that if sus
tained at the polls, there will be a change
in the methods and policy of the Admin
istration. Such delusion,"' is worse 'than
midsummer madness. The condemnation
of the Administration by the ballot Is our
only hope of escape from the perilous
policy It has inaugurated.
"Imperialists claim they can give, the
Filipinos a better .government than they
can possibly establish for themselves.
This 'plan of governing other people for
their own good did not originate with
the imperialists of today. It was the
plan urged by the craf ty, heartless Talley
rand for the'government of the American
colonies,
"Imperialism knows nothing of limita
tions of power. It enthrones 'force as the
controlling agency of government. It
means the empire. Following close in
the wake of imperialism will come an
immense, standing army. The dread hand
of militarism will be ielt in the. new world
as in the old. The strong arm of power
will be substituted for the peaceful agen
cies which have for more than a cen
tury made our people contented and hap
py. In the great struggle now on us we
'invoke the eo-operationiof all who revere
the memory of our fathers and to whom
this declaration Is no unmeaning parch
ment, but the enduring chart of our liber
ties; we appeal to the sober judgment and
patriotism of the American people."
After -Mr. Stevenson had concluded,
James R. Sovereign, ex-grand master
workman .of the Knights of Labor, spoke,
dealing with the worklngman from a-political
standpoint. .
Mr, Sovereign, was, followed by J. Milton
Turner, Minister to Liberia under Grant's
Administration, who spoke briefly on be
half ot the negro..
Ovation to Bryan.
As Mr. Turner concluded, Mr. Bryan ap
peared on the platform. His arrlval'served
to Instill Into the meeting a degree of
enthusiasm which Kad ' not previously
xfrarked the proceedings of the conven
tion. He reached the city a few minutes
before 3 o'clock, but dldnot arrive at the
hall uritll a quarter $ast i o'clock. He
was escorted -through the .streets by a
number of marching clubs, and was wel
comed at every turn by throngs of peo
ple. As soon as Mr. ryon appeared on
the platform there was a wild shout of
greeting and this soon developed intd a
demonstration, which continued for-about
six minutes, until, indeed, there was- a
call for cessation) from Mr- Bryan him
self. His speech was liberally applauded
throughout, -and when it was concluded,
there was a rush to the stage on the
part of those In the audience who wished
to shake hands with him. He, 'however,
avoided this demonstration and .soon found
his way back to his hotel.
Governor McMlllin, of Tennessee, In
troduced Mr. Bryan, hut before the lat
ter began speaking, the . announcement
was made that the Democratic National
Committee was in. need of money, and
that for every dollar raised by the
Democratic Clubs and members thereof,
President Hearst, of the National Com
mittee' of Democratic Clubs, would put
up an equal amount to help elect the Na
tional Democratic candidates. Mr. Bry
an then took the platform and spoke as
follows:
"I appreciate the work done and being
done and tp be done by this Assoclatloo
of Democratic Clubs, and appreciate the
energy, the enthusiasm- and the ability
displayed by Mr. Hearst, tho president
of the association. I believe In thesa
clubs. We need them. We need clubs
far more than the Republicans need
clubs. In fact, my friends, the work of
Democracy, being a work for the people,
must be done by the people. Machinery
Is not sufficient when we have but ma
chinery alone to win a Democratic light.
We need.theBe clubs to aid in the1 work
and to supplement the efforts of our, Na
tional, state and local organizations. Wo
need the clubs to help us collect money to
'carry on our campaign. The Republican
party can get itsj money from; the cor
porations, whlcbf plunder the people be
tween campaigns In peturn for the money
contributed during campaign's.. Wo can
not go to a trust and ask It to help us,
because we do not-expect to be helped.
We understand that each, speech made
against the trusts makes it easier for
their, party to raise a campaign fund;
you understand .that. We need those
clubs to help us collect money to carry
on thefcampalgn. -
"The Republican -party "does not' collect
money fan its National 'campaign fund
from one Republican out of 10), and
when the election is over 9$ out of every
103. 'Republicans have nothing1 - to say
about the tunning of the Government.
We expect that the campaign will be
conducted in behalf of the great masses
of Americans, and-we hove the right to
call on them to help with their money, aa
well as with their votes, to win this
fight, which is thoir fight and not our
fight.'
'We need the clubs to help get the
votes out on eleotlon day. Out in our
state wesometlmes arrange to have vol
unteeers who will go out and when they
find a man who thinks he is too busy
husking corn to spare the time to vote,
the volunteer husks in his place until he
goeB and votes. We need these clubs to
help get the votes out, and then we need
these clubs to help get the votes counted
and to prevent fraud after they are cast.
I glory In the work thus done. The meet
ing of these delegates here Is an indica
tion of the interest taken. In this work,
and I beg you to spend every possible
moment between now and election In se
curing funds for those principles which
you believe in and for this cause which I
have so earnestly espoused."
Mr. Bryan then went Into a discussion
of the campaign issues, paying especial
attention to the trust question. He con
tinued; "The Republican party is not prepared
to defend Itself on the army question.
They say this is no question of militar
ism, and yet an army four times as great
as the standing army. of 1895 la demanded
by the President's message of December,
1S93. How much do we spend fqr educa
tion in the United States? Less than
5200,000,000 a year. How much, do tfie Re
publicans want to spend on military es
tablishments? One hundred .million dol
lars a year. They want .to spend more
than half as much for a military estab
lishment as we spend for the education of
all the .children In the United, States. Is
that not a step toward militarism? There
.are two reasons which leadmen in this
country to want a large standing army.
One te-a domestic one; the othpr la called
our foreign affairs. What domestic rea
son is there for a large army? To pro
tect us from the Indians? No; the less
Indians we have the more army the Re
publicans want. That is not the cause.
Why do they want It? Sd that they can
build a fort near every large city and
use the army to suppress by force the
discontent that ought to ba- cured by
remedial 'legislation. -
'"The laboring man asks for arbitration
and gets a large army he asks for relief
from Government injunction and gets a
largo slice of army; he asks protection
from the black list and his answer is a
large army: he asks for shorter hours of
labor In order that he may have more
time with his family and for the develop
ment of his mind and his answer is a
largo army: he asks for representation
in the President's Cabinet in order that
labor may bo protected and his answer
is a large army. That is the domestic
reason -which is not given.
"What is the reason they give? They
say we need it for our foreign policy.
But, my friends, they asked for the army
before the American people badger de
cided upon a foreign policy that made a
large army necessary. In December of
1S9S. when the President asked tor his
army, the treaty had not yet been signed,
but its terms were understood. When
the Republican Congress Voted to raise
the army to 100,000 the treaty had been'
signed and no arm "was raised against
this Nation anywhere in the world. But
the American people have neyer voted for
a colonial policy, and yet the Republican
party' is pledged to a large, army." - ,
Mr. Bryan declared that' the RepubllT
cans want to exploit the Philippines and
that a Republican Congressman, chair
man of the army committee, Is 'president
of the Philippine Lumber & peVelopinent
Company, which has1 already secured val
uable property there. Mr. Bryan made
his customary review of the Philippine
question and continued:
VWhen we say all men are created equal
we can stand upon that and defend our
rights, but t-be moment we abandon it
every man has to carry his pedigree witn
him to show that he belongs to the well- I
born class. The Republican party Is fol
lowing the paths of monarchy. It does
not propose a King, but it 'propose! a
principle upon which only a King can
stand. It does not propose a crown, but
it proposes doctrine that can fit nothing
but a crown. The Republican party has
done in Porto Rico just what "England
did in this country, and our President
is doing today Just what George Ill4dld
a century and a quarter ago. What does
Ijt matter whether you: call him Presi
dent or Emperor or King, if he admin
isters the Ro.wers of a King?"-, a
Mr. Bryan left at 4 o'clock over the Big
Four Railroad f or-Lebanon, '111., to deliver
an address In the evening. Ho expected
to return to Indianapolis at midnight,,
leaving tomorrow -morning on his tour or
Indiana.

Seattle padded Its census In the hope of passing Portland in the
race for supremacy, but the metropolis of the Northwest 1b the same

are fully 15",000 names on the Seattle'rolls that do not belong therev
still Portland leads by nearly 10,000, though the actual difference in
Its favor is close to 35,000. The surprising circumstance , about t the
count Is not the rapid growth of Seattle, but the rapid Jgrowtlr of
Portland. In 10 years Portland gained 44,041 Inhabitants,, while 'Seat

's not an improbability. fThe annexation

WORLD FOR ONE PEOPLE.
Jio Nation Has a IU&-nt to Shut Its

CHICAGO, Oct. 4. National questions
promise to take a prominent place in the
deliberations of tha 6Jst Annual Confer
encevof the Methodist Episcopal Church
(th,e Rock RlYer Conference), now being
held here. BlBhop J. M. Thoburn of
India, in a lecture last evening on "the
situation in the Orient, called the attempt'
to shut his country In from tho world 'a
i"seml-Chlnese policy."
-VChlna built a great wall about itself,!
he said, "and .a similar attempt on -the
part of the United States would result
In. the same arrested development. The
world was made for one-people; tho peo
ple ot various nationalities are spreading
over it: there must be open doors: no ono
part of the earth shoujd be 'shut up for
any race."
The Rev.' Thomas B. Neeley,- general
seoretary of the Sunday School Union, In
an address, said:
"I believe we will keep the territory
we have taken. But whether, it 'remains
a part of the United (States or not,-4we
have gone into -those countries,, and we
Intend to remain. , - h
"It Is not a matter of policy, but. of,

God ever did anything for our benefit it
was when he gave us those islands. in the
Pacific. I hope our Army and Navy will
stand In China until perfect order, has
been restored and the lives of Christians
have been Insured for all future time."
The 20th century thank offering will re
ceive special attention at the conference,
Bishop Thoburn having come here partly
In its interest. Dr. W, F, MoPowell and
Dr. E. M. Mills spoke In the interests ot
tho movement. They say the financial
side of the movement will Bucceed, the
announced gifts and pledga from the

MINERS.
Strikers Will Hot Return to "Work
Until So Ordered by Their
, Convention.
HAZLETONf -Pa. Oct 4.Not the
slightest notice has beenjtaken by the
striking miners of the 10ffper cent in
crease offered to the employes by several
of the larger coal companies. As far as
is definitely known, not one striking, miner
'has accepted the advance, "but on the
other hand, more have quit their places,
notably In the Schuylkill region, where
three additional collieries of the Reading
Company wer shut down. The United
Mineworkers' officials are still hard at
work trying to close the few mines that
continue-in. operation. All the organizers
and the National committeemen were in
some parts of the field during the day,
only President Mitchell being on duty
at headquarters.-
Mr. Mitchell did little else than to at
tend to his correspondence and answer
telephone -calls front different sections of
the region. When he was asked what was
now In tha strike situation, , he briefly
replied: "We are waiting on the operat
ors." He says he had no information to
day "aa to the movements ot the mine-ow-nera,
Mother than that, printed lii the
newspapers. He also remarked that the
call for an" anthracite miners' -convention
la not yet in sight When, the conven
tion Is called, however, Scnnton will
probably be chosen for It because 'of Its
availability for convention purposes. But
tt is, too early yet to say that a conven
tion wllle hejd there next Wednesday.
, Applications .by strlkjns miners for, re
lief, are begUui'lng to be recolved"by local
unfconin-several sections of. 'the anthra-
.nltft-fields. Iresdent Mitchell said, to
night thit wherever application have
been made for relief, n.eceS3ary supplies
were furnished.
Aboilt 0 men marched 'from Freehuid
to Pond Creek today for the purpose of
inducing 40 men employed by the Pond
Creek & Wilkesbarre Coal Company to
join the .strikers. The marchers reached
there at noon, just as the men were leav
ing the- mines. The strikers were met by
T. J. Latrobe, president of the company,
and Superintendent 'Thomas MacParland,
who explained to the strikers that the
company iwaa only developing- the mine,
and would send no coaltto market if the
strikers- woulcVnot ask the men to quit
work. The marchers agreed to this prop
osition, .
Tho United Mineworkers are making
extra efforts to get the men who are
still working In the'Pahther Creek Val
ley to strike and join the union. More
organfe-era have .bean' sent into the valley,
with the h-ope of swinging th- 1500 men
still working there into line.
President Mitchell today said that the
strikers of tho Lackawanna "Valley will
make an effort to outdo the Wilkesbarre
demonstration at Scranton next Wednes
day. It Is the Intention to have a big
parade or miners from the entire Lack
awanna Valley. A" mass meeting will fol
low, at which President Mitchell and
other mlneworker officials will speak.
General Gobln, as a result Of the march
to Trevorton tonight, rescinded the order
for Battery C, of the National Guard, to
return home tomorrow.
' Affairs were quiet In all other sections
of the anthracite field today. The strik
ers scored Important gains In the clos
ing of additional collieries In the Schuyl

' WaseV ' 9- .
, .SCRANTON, Pa,. Oct, "4, "On or before
October" was the time limit set to the
offer of 10 per cent. Increase, and separate
arbitration contained In the notices posted
by tha. Delaware, .Lackawanna & .West
ern Company. The Associated Pres cor
respondent asked Chief Clerk Tobey, of
the Lackawanna,, how many men-showed
up for work. '
"Well, I oanhot tell you that, exactly,"
replied Mr. Tobey, "but I can give you
the exact number of collieries that re
sumed operations."
"Yes," remarked the correspondent,
"how many?"
"Not a blamed one," said Mr. Tobey.
The fact of the matter Is that the same
answer would a: , . to the first ques
tion. 'The sentiment ot the North Scran
ton .miners, aa expressed In the resolu
tion adopted by local union No. SOS last
night, prevails throughout' the whole
Scrmtonr district. No offer, the miners
say, that any company may Individually
'offer to Its men will receive considera
tion, except in a general convention of
the United Mlnewotkers. "Back to the
mines" roilst come from John Mitchell,
theydeclare. If the operators have in
mind any other plan ot bringing the
strike to an end, the local coal men know
nothing of It, or at least refuse to admit
they do.
Organizer Dllcher came up'froro Hazle
'ton today and In an Interview declared
that the United Mineworkers know of no
proposition from the operators. "The fact
that a company here and there has posted
notices on Its collieries that it will grant
better wages does not call for any ac
tion from us,' Mr. Dllcher declared.
"Then there- are. Is hardly any probabil
ity of a convention, to consider this offer?"
he was asked.
"Hardly," responded, Mr. Dllcher.

prominently in. the coal strike, said of his

"The newspapers have gotten a wrong

as we are concerned Is ended. On Sun
day night last we got notice from the

had been broken by the employes. We
posted a notice on Sunday, giving tho
committee's statement, and also a notice
that the. contract between the employes

This leaves but one colliery In operation
out of the 30 the company was wording
previous to the mineworkers' strike.
The single property producing coal to
day was the North Franklin colliery, at
Trevorton, In the upper end of the Schuyl

and boys, mostly American citizens. Most
of them, .the officials say, own their homes
