Committee on Resolu
tions Begins Work.
BRYAN HAS NO PLATFORM
Gorman's Ideas Are Given by
Maryland Delegates.
FINANCIAL PLANK IS BRIEF
Almighty Is Given Chief Credit for
Settling the Matter-Raising of
the Race Question Is
Denounced.
ST. IiOUIS, July 6. The committee on
resolutions met In a room connected with
the convention hall immediately after the
adjournment of the convention, and after
effecting an organization and transacting
considerable parliamentary -work ad
journed to meet at 7 o'clock. The meeting
was called to order by ex-Senator Hill, of
New Tork, and, upon hie motion. Senator
Daniel, of Virginia, was elected chair
man of the committee and gh'en author
ity to appoint a secretary and a sub
committee of 11 to consider the various
drafts of platforms and report.
Upon taking the chair Senator Daniel
extended his thanks for the honor be
stowed upon him, and especially men
tioned the fact that it had been done at
the instance of Mr. Hill. He expressed
the hope that the committee would take
advantage of its great opportunity to
adopt a platform of a character which
would be sure to win the suffrages of the
people, and In turn bring relief to tho en
tire country In the shape of Democratic
administration, which would be In great
contrast to the uncertainty of the present
Administration. KIs remarks were re
ceived with cheers.
Bryan Makes Suggestion.
The suggestion having been made that
the committee ehould take a recess until
7 o'clock, Mr. Bryan suggested if there
wore any members of the committee who
had drafted platforms which they desired
to present they should submit copies to
the members of the full committee in
order that they might have time to con
eider them before coming together again.
"If," said Chairman Daniel, "the gen
tleman from Nebraska has a platform, I
should bo very glad, indeed, for a copy
of it."
Mr. Bryan replied that he had none.
Gorman's Idea of Platform.
At this Juncture a number of members
stated that they had formulated various
resolutions which they desired to submit,
among them Delng "Williams, of Missis
sippi; Newiands, of Nevada; Daniel, of
"Virginia; Tillman, of South Carolina, and
J. Poe. of Maryland, the latter stating
that the views of Senator Gorman were
embodied in his draft. The Poe draft In
ita declaration on imperialism says:
"The practical results of the policy of
imperialism Inaugurated by the Republi
cans, and now Illustrated in the govern
ment of the Philippine Islands, demon
strates the folly, danger and injustice of
the conquest, subjugation and forcible
control of alien races In remote islands
of the sea, and, distinctly denouncing
this policy as without warrant In the letter
or spirit of the Constitution and vicious
in itself, we favor the return, at the
earliest possible moment, from so radi
cal and perilous a departure from the
traditions and long-established practices
of our Government and the speedy sub
stitution therefor of friendly r'atlons
with the Philippines as a free people, cor
responding as near as reasonably prac
ticable with our existing relations with
the people of Cuba."
Isthmian Canal.
Regarding the isthmian canal. It says:
"We favor the early completion of the
isthmian canal. But while making this
declaration, and accepting from necessity
the result, of the negotiations conducted
by President Roosevelt, we cannot too
forcibly express our detestation of the
methods by which, in flagrant disregard
of law and treaty obligations, the canal
route has been acquired, or record too
solemnly our hope that this precedent of
diplomacy may never be used against us
to our humiliation and Injur'." A prom
ise Is made of a more economical ad
ministration of the Government.
Race Question.
The race question Is touched on as fol
lows: "We deplore and denounce the
raising, by the Republicans, of the race
issue. We believe that Its wanton intro
duction into this campaign cannot fall to
obstruct and delay tho complete restora
tion of that harmony and good-will among
the people so essential to the peace, hap
piness and prosperity of even section of
the United States, and we demand that
the regulation of the suffrage shall be
left without Congressional declaration to
the several .states, subject only to the
final Judgment of the Supreme Court of
the United States."
Financial Plank.
The financial plank Is brief, being in
full as follows:
"The Democratic party congratulates
the country upon the vindication of the
Democratic contention for an increased
volume of Teal or metallic money in a
manner acceptable by the Democrats, by
the addition to the world's stock of
money metals of ?2,000,000.000 in gold with
in eight years from which these United
States have been able to obtain $700,000,000,
thereby doubling their stock of standard
money, raising their per capita from $23
to $30, and contributing to the advent of
industry which could not otherwise have
been attained. The fact that this result
has b'een reached by no action of Govern
ment but by the action of God, through
his main instrumentality of discovery, in
vention and industry, does not lessen our
gratification."
Tariff and Trusts.
On the tariff and trusts, this declaration
is made: "We realize that, under the
domination of the corporation interests
and mighty and dangerous trusts and mo
nopolies wshlch control the policies and
shape the legislation of the Republican
party, relief to the masses of the people
from the glaring Inequalities and gross
injustice ot our existing tariff is abso
lutely hopeless, and that only under the
relentless pressure of Democratic triumph
can any Improvement whatever be ob
tained. "With a Democratic President and
House of Representatives our party can,
and will, take the vigorous initiative
toward the prompt, effective and Just re
lief which the existing industrial situation
of the country Imperatively demands. It
is pledged to this -wise and beneficent
policy. It will revise the tariff in a
conservative spirit of fairness to all in
terests. May Expect Reduction in Rates.
"Its anxious purpose will be to legislate
with such a due regard for the labor and
capital Involved in our Industrial enter
prises as to promote their healthy growth
and to guard carefully against the In
fliction of Injury upon industries estab
lished by abrupt and radical measures.
But odious and powerful monopolies may
expect reduction of the excessive rates
under which they have been enabled to
extort oppressive tribute from the people.
"And the illegal combinations of trusts
which, within the last few years under
the Republican tariff, have grown so
great and which, in unlawful restraint of
legitimate trade, have crushed honest
competition, must be stripped of the power
which they have so abused."
A general promise for the correction of
abuses is made and under the head of
executive dictation is this paragraph:
"We call oubllc attention to the re
peated and unpardonable dictation of
President Roosevelt to both branches of
Congress. We denounce his flagrant en
croachments upon their rightful powers
and independence, and while amazed at
the subserviency of a Republican Senato

t
t
and a Republican House of Representa
tives to his orders and usurpation, we
declare that his autocratic Invasion of
their freedom deserves and should re
ceive the indignant rebuke and condem
nation of the people."
The full committee at 9:45 adjourned un
til 2 P. M. tomorrow, leaving the sub
committee in session.
Subcommittee to Make Platform.
The committee on resolutions recon
vened at 7 o'clock, and Senator Daniel
announced the appointment of a subcom
mittee to prepare a platform for submis
sion to the full committee, as follows:
Messrs. Danlel.Vlrginla; Hill, New York;
Bryan, Nebraska; Williams, Mississippi;
Pattison, Pennsylvania; Dubois, Idaho;
Hamlin, Massachusetts; Cable, Illinois;
Poe, Maryland; Shievely, Indiana, and
Davis, West Virginia.
Senator Newiands made a plea for a
fuller representation of the irrigation in
terests, and by unanimous consent his
name was added to the subcommittee
list.
A number of suggestions from persons
not connected with the committee were
received, among them being the following
from Senator Bacon, of Georgia:
"That, with the view to the encourage
ment of American shipping and the resto
ration of the American flag upon the high
seas, we favor that upon all articles
brought or Imported into the United States
from foreign countries in American-built
ships and under American registry, upon
which duties shall be allowed, rebates of
not less than 5 nor more than 10 per cent
of the same."
Labor Question Considered.
The full committee then entered upon
the consideration of the labor question in
connection with the following plank pre
sented by ex-Governor C. S. Thomas, of
Colorado:
"Constitutional guarantees are violated
wherever the humblest citizen is denied
the right to labor, acquire and enjoy
property or reside where Interest or in
clination may determine. Any denial
thereof by individuals, organizations or
Government should be summarily rebuked
and punished.
"Freedom of speech and the press are
the essential safeguards of liberty and
the invasion of either cannot be too se
verely reprehended.
"Wo denounce the inflicting of punish
ments without due process of law, and
deny the right of any executive to disre
gard or suspend any Constitutional privi
lege or limitation. Obedience to the laws
and respe6t for their requirements are
alike the supreme duty of the citizen and
the ruler.
"The militia must always remain subor
dinate to the civil power, and be used
only to support and maintain the law. We
unqualifiedly condemn Its employment for
the summary banishment of the citizen
without trial or for the control of elec
tions." Governor Thomas urged In strong terms
the adoption of the plank, and in doing
so referred at length to the labor troubles
In Colorado, saying the acceptance of the
proposition would do much to render Col
orado safely Democratic He was replied
to by Mr. McMahon, of Ohio, who said
that while the adoption of this plank
might do much to secure the labor vote.
It probably would have the effect ot de
priving the party of having the support
of the employers.
Tillman Denounces Williams' Plank.
The labor (question was then temporar
ily laid aside In order to listen to a plea
from Senator Tillman for a strong plank
In support of the principle of white su
premacy In the South. He denounced
the plank on this subject In the plat
form submitted by Mr. Williams, and
said:
"If we are to have a declaration at all
let us have one that means something,
and not a weak-kneed, namby-pamby,
flimsy thing like that In the so-called
Williams' platform."
The committee then, entered upon a
series of hearings of outsiders, including
representatives of the Anti-Imperialist
League and the National Woman Suf
frage Association.
Th Antl-Imperlallsts were represented
by Ira D. Howarth, of the Chicago Uni
versity. They asked fpr the insertion of
the following plank:
"We accept the great truths of the dec
laration of Independence as1 principles? of
THE MORNItfG
justice, limited to no time, place or
race of men. To hold a foreign peopli?
in subjugation Is unjust, undemocratic,
un-American, subsersive of our National
ideals, and a menace to our own. rights
and institutions. The retention of the
Philippines In a relation of subjection to
the United States is wrong in principle
and an unnecessary burden and peril.
We should treat the Filipinos as we
treated the Cubans. We, therefore, de
mand an immediate and definite pledge
of speedy independence for these inlands,
and insist that the United States Govern
ment direct its best efforts to the earliest
possible fulfillment of such pledges."
The equal suffragists were represented
by Mrs. Priscilla Hackstaff, of New York;
Miss Kate M. Gordon, of New Orleans,
and Mrs. Louise M. Worth, of St. Louis.
They asked for a declaration in favor of
the recognition of their sex.
Shipping Plank Introduced.
The committee was asked to consider
the question of a shipping plank by F. S.
Pendleton, of New York, who spoke in
behalf of a plank he presented which is
as follows:
"The Democratic party the friends of
American shipping pledges itself to the
rehabilitation of the American merchant
men through discriminating duties and
tonnage duties, the policy of the fathers
and of the great leaders of the Demo-
THE DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL
WILLIAMS,
crntlc party, under which the flag of the
United States filled the ports, and was a
frequent eight upon the seas of the world
In all the years of Democratic ascend
ency, while its dieappearance and the de
plorable decline of that once great and
powerful interest has been continuous
under Republican administration."
Ex-Governor Thomas, of Colorado, pre
sented a resolution for the equalization
of freight rates on cattle at the request
of the National Livestock Association,
and Mark Smith asked the Ineertlon of a
plank declaring against Joint statehood
for the Territories of Arizona and New
Mexico and Oklahoma and Indian Terri
tory. The subcommittee adjourned at mid
night until 9:30 A. M. tomorrow. The sub
committee made very good progress and
tentatively has agreed upon the preamble
and the tariff plank. The draft of a plat
form presented by Mr. Williams, of Mis
sissippi, was made the basis upon which
the committee worked, and the preamble
was very near his language. The tariff
plank declares for a revision of the tariff
and gradual reduction on a wise and business-like
plan. The time of the commit
tee was largely devoted to the tariff plank
and there was a great deal of discussion
of the phraseology.
Mr. Bryan offered a provision for re
affirmation of the Chicago and Kansas
City platforms, but definite consideration
of the proposition was postponed, al
though It was made plain it would not
be accepted.
Little Consideration to Bryan.
It was also evident that Mr. Bryan
would not receive very much considera
tion; although he made many suggestions
and offered many amendments, they were
not accepted. No feeling was shown,
but the subcommittee found other sug
gestions to take the place of those offered
by the Nebraska member.
Three different platforms were present
ed, one by Mr. William?, one by Mr. Poe,
representing Mr. Gorman's views, and one
by Mr. Newiands, of Nevada. Suggest
ions from both the Williams and the
Gorman drafts were used, and the Gor
man declaration In favor of reduction of
expenditures was adopted.
Money Plank Not Taken Up.
It was also made manifest that the plat
form was to be a conservative docu
ment. It Is expected that there will be
quite a lively contest over a gold plank,
if it Is offered, but the money plank
was not taken up at the ovening session.
Just before the committee adjourned.
Senator Dubois offered an anti-polygamy
plank, but no action was taken. Several
members said after a few changes they
believed such a plank would be accept
able. Some doubt Is expressed as to what Mr.
Bryan's attitude Is to be, as he made no
serious objections or showed any partic
ular fight upon any action that was taken.
It in believed that he will make a fight
before the full committee or on the floor
of the convention for amendments which
he has offered and which were rejected.
Harmon Will Make No Criticism.
CINCINNATI. O., July C-Judge Har
mon received dispatches today from dif
ferent parts of the stato based on news
paper reports of dissensions in the Ohio
delegation at St. Louis, and, criticising
some of the delegates, gave the Asso
ciated Press the following statement:
"I am satisfied with the conduct of my
friends at St. Louis. They are oh the
ground and best know the situation. I
have full faith in their loyalty and judg
ment, and they know I have always
wished them to consider the party's inter
est before mine."
Judge Parker Keeping Cool.
ESOPUS. N. Y., July 6. Judge Parker
recently declined an offer by a telegraph
company to set up a special wire to his
home to furnish him with news from the
convention at St Louis. The company
thereupon arranged to place an extra op
erator at Esopus, and today a large num
ber of telegrams was received for the
Judge, presumably to keep him informed
as to the developments of the situation.
He did not remain at home to receive
them, however, going for a drive along
the Hudson with several friends.

tlon grew more uncertain, and tonight no
one can De tounu to stand for any defi
nite statement that the New Yorker win
meet with opposition of a serious charac
ter when the convention is polled for
first place on the ticket. Delegates that
have wavered In the balance have suc
cumbed to the Parker tide, with few ex
ceptions, and these are not expected to
withstand tho almost assured results of
the vote as It proceeds, but will change
to the Parker column before the rollcall
Is finished. It was reported late tonight
that a final anti-Parker conference had
been called for an unknown place of
meeting, but the New Yorker's managers,
confident they have the whole situation
thoroughly In hand, were not disturbed by
this conference or Its possible results.
For second place on the ticket, It can
hardly be said that speculation tonight
centers on any one man. A half-dozen
names are on the list of the crowds that
gather In the lobbies, but the general
sentiment Is that this matter shall bo
left to ripen until after the head of the
ticket has been formally named.
Ex-United States Senator Smith of New
Jersey, who Is practically the head of the
delegates, saw William F. Sheehan and
assured him that New Jersey would Join
the Parker column on the first ballot
The Tammany conference, called for 6
o'clock did not materialize, and Mr
Murphy, Mr. Towne, Senator Grady and
others went on a visit It is said that
Bird S. Coler and a few others were still
working to keep Mr. Parker from getting
a two-thirds vote, but this statement was
received with some incredulity even by the
Tammany rank and file. There Is evi
dence tonight that the Tammany people
will keep very quiet and make no move,
either to support by word, as they must
support by vote, the Parker boom, or de
clare against it
Cleveland Positively Declines.
Senator Smith, of New Jersey, Is quoted
as saying that he had received a tele
gram from Mr. Cleveland declining posi
tively to have his name presented and
that Parker was. therefore, the second
choice. No positive confirmation, how
ever, was to be had of the receipt of such
message. It Is said tonight, and inter
views will bear It out, that if the plat
form and credentials committee reports
are not contested at length the conven
tion may proceed to nominate a candidate
tomorrow. It Is the general Impression
tonight among the Parker people that
there will not be much of a fight
William F. Sheehan said: "It is quite
possible that we will proceed to nominate
tomorrow afternoon or night"
Senator Hill said: "if our work Is
cleared up to that point, I do not know
why we should not go on and nominate."
Some of the other state leaders, how
ever, disagreed with this. Charles F
Murphy, of New York, surrounded by
Charles A. Towne, Bourke Cockran and
others, tonight made this statement:
"It has been alleged that I concede the
nomination of Judge Parker. I do not I
stand just where I have stood for the past
few days. I have not changed my opinion
or my attitude."
Some conferences were held by the anti
Parker men, after which they still claimed
they had enough votes to defeat Parker
If they could rely upon pledges made to
them. Various suggestions were made as
to uniting upon a candidate, and both
Gray and Olney have been suggested as
men upon whom to rally the Parker oppo
sition. PARKER MEN VICTORIOUS.
Head Is Made Chairman of Committee
on Credentials.
ST. LOUIS. July 6. The committee on
credentials met Immediately after the ad
journment of the convention and perfected
a temporary organization by electing E.
M. Robinson, of Mobile. Ala., as tempo
rary chairman, and A. M. Daly, of Dela
ware, temporary secretary.
Adjournment was taken until 7 o'clock.
Dr. Mary Walker, attired in her usual
garb of Prince Albert coat and trousers,
was the first person to enter the committee-room
and she remained throughout the
proceedings. Dr. Walker claims a seat in
the convention. She says she was regu
larly elected a woman delegate by the
Democrats of Oswego, N. T.t and will
wage a contest to be seated.
The committee met again tonight.

H. Corrigan, of Minnesota, were named
for permanent chairman and secretary,
respectively. The question of Hearst or
Parker men controlling the committee de
pended, upon tho selection of the chair
man. Head and the Tennessee delegation
are avowed supporters of the New York
candidate. Upon the vote, the Parker
men won a decisive victory, Mr. Head be
ing elected by a vote of 32 to 12., By
unanimous vote, the committee decided to
award six seats and six votes each to the
delegations from the Philippines and
Porto Rico.
The Norrls, or anti-Hearst delegation,
from the District of Columbia, was seated
by a practically unanimous vote. The
committee was fully an hour considering
the evidence In the Illinois contest, and
decided that all the Hopkins delegates
should retain their seats, save Duncan C.
Best, In the Twenty-First District. Gen
eral Alfred Orendorff was given the seat
held by Best.
After the vote on the Illinois- cases was
taken a motion to adjourn until tomorrow
was made. It was overwhelmingly de
feated, and It was decided to hold a con
tinuous session until all the contested
cases were disposed of. The Hearst dele
gates declare they will carry the Illinois
contest to the floor of the convention and
fight to the last. The action of the Na
tional Committee in seating the regular
delegates from Indiana was sustained.
DECORATIONS ARE BEAUTIFUL.
Flowers Are Few, but Flags and
Bunting Are Everywhere.
ST, LOUIS, July 6. That the work of
decorating the immense hall where tho
convention Is being held was entrusted to
skilled hands was apparent from the first
glimpse of the interior. The general
effect is a mammoth arched canopy of
buff, ribbed and fringed in white, with
walls formed of alternate stripes of red,
white and blue. The balconies are
dressed in white bunting, gracefully
caught Tip overy few yards. Medallions
bearing the coats of arms of the states
are placed about the balconies at regular
Intervals, but the only flowers used are
in the settings for the platform. One of
the crowning features is an Immense
furled flag which is pendant from the
center of the roof. The flag will be
dropped Into prominence when a nomina
tion for President has been made.
The great dome ceiling, which rises
high above the floor. Is covered with a
fabric of solid yellow, while here and
there are flounces of a white material
carrying out the architectural design.
Within each of the sections of the celling
Is the star of one of the states and a
stand of colors.
The splendor of the various colored
gowns worn by the large number of ladles
occupying seats In the galleries gave the
finishing touch and completed a scene
both spectacular and picturesque.
The accommodations for the general
public, especially for the press, are much
more complete than they were at the
Chicago Convention, while the latter
were the best up to that time ever pro
vided at a National Convention.
The participants In the convention pro
ceedings occupy positions on the main
floor, which forms an ellipse, the chair
man's platform, with ample seating ca
pacity, rising at the center in the rear.
The section allotted to the delegates is
directly in front of the platform.
On either side of the delegates' posi
tion, provision has been made for the
alternates, the press seats being located
on the Immediate sides of the chairman's
platform.
Directly opposite the platform and in
the rear of the delegates Is a stand where
a band of 30 pieces played throughout the
convention, filling In the gaps with stir
ring music.
The galleries encircle the ellipse, the
seats rising In tiers. Seats on the plat
form and one section of the gallery im
mediately In its rear are reserved for
Governors, members of Congress, Mayors
of cities and others of distinguished
prominence in the party. A hospital has
been provided in the ante-rooms, and Is
fully equipped with all medical stores
and surgical appliances, and with a corps
of doctors and trained nurses.

tions are among the striking decorations.

(Continued from First Page.)
World, in an editorial article of today,
says:
"It Is difficult to understand the man
agement that would pick out as Judge
Parker's associate ex-Senator Turner, of
Washington. There Is a suggestion of
David B. Hill's shortsightedness and lack
of imagination in Jumping at a former
Republican and Southern carpet-bagger,
who came into the Democratic party
through the door of Populism, the free
silver Issue, simply because he promises
to deliver to Parker who does not need
them the Pacific Coast delegates who
were bought and instructed for another
candidate. Mr. Turner may be as able
and as fine looking as his eulogists de
clare, but is there a cool-headed politi
cian at St. Louis who thinks he would
help the National ticket in the doubtful
states, to which it must look for success?
"The obvious dictate of political wis
dom would be to select the candidate for
Vice-President from one of the Important
states of the Middle West, some one who
has a chance of carrying Illinois, Indiana
or Wisconsin, and to pick a man who
would strengthen rather than weaken the
ticket In these states and in New York,
New Jersep and Connecticut. Washington
Is hopelessly Republican and has but five
electoral votes."
I would like to see Turner nominated.
If for no other reason to see how it would
affect some of our Oregon Democrats who
are so violent against men who change
their politics. No man who voted against
Furnish in 1903 or Sanderson Reed In 19H
ought to stand for George Turner as a
Democratic nominee for Vice-President.

Prayer of the Chaplain.
ST. LOUIS, July 7. The prayer of Rev.
John E. Cannon, pastor ot the Grand
Avenue Baptist Church, of St. Louis, In
opening the convention, was as follows:
Almighty God, our Heavenly Father, which
art In Heaven, in all our ways we would
acknowledge thee In order that thou ma eat
direct our paths. We bow ourselves In thy
presence and acknowledge thee as tho God
in whose hands our breath Is, and whose are
all our ways. Lift thou up the light of
thy countenance upon ua, and bless us first
of all In the forgiveness of all our sins. Turn
our hearts from every evil war and incline
ua to the way of thy statutes. Humbly and
gratefully we acknowledge thee as the source
of all our blessings; the giver of every good
and perfect gift. We thank thee for thy un
failing goodnero to us as a people. Thou host
dealt kindly and well with thy servants. Thou
hast cast our lot In a pleasant land and we
have a goodly heritage. May we possess it In
thy fear. May we have the blessedness of
that people whose God Is the Lord. Give us
our righteousness which ex&lteth a nation, and
cave us from sin. which Is a reproach to any
people. Let peace and plenty prevail within
all our borders, and let righteousness and Jus
tice be our sure defense. Let the wickedness
of the wicked come to an end. Causa strife
and oppression to cease out of our land.
Drive evil men from places, of honor, and
power, and let the righteous be exalted In
their stead. God of our fathers, bless us as
