DEBATE IS VERY BITTER
for statehood, Tammany raised her
voice in favor and we came in. Today
Texas has more than 3,000,000 and most
of them are Democrats.
"The tariff and the trusts must be the
great overshadowing issues of the next
campaign, and If you are true to your
trust we will see a Democratic adminis
tration in power. When we meet Tam
many at the next National convention,
Texas will be there holding up the banner
of the greatest Democrat who has lived
since Jefferson William J. Bryan.
"And then Texas will Insist that as his
running mate the convention take your
own Congressman. Charles A Towne.
Such a ticket will sweep the country.
Your most representative citizen and
brilliant Jurist, Alton B. Parker, shall
be the Chief Justice of the United States
Supreme Court."
DAY CELEBRATED IX LONDON
ROTTENNESS
SPEECH BEFORE TAMMANY
Community Is Shocked, He Says,
at Miscarriage of Justice, Where
Rascals Are Allowed to Go
VJirwhipped of the Law.
NKW YORK. July 4. The annual
celebration of the Society of Tammany,
or the Columbian Order, took place to
day in honor of the lMh anniversary
of American Independence. The exer
cises, which were held In Tammany
Hall, were attended by prominent men
from many parts of the country. One
of the principal addresses of the day
wai delivered by Congressman John A.
Sullivan, who spoke of what he re
garded as the evils which had grown
out of the protective tariff. He said. In
part :
"A few days ago the Republican ma
jority In both branches of Congress forced
upon the country a law compelling the
canal commission to purchase Its sup
plies from American manufacturers when
ever the prices of the latter were not
unreasonable or extortionate. "Within a
week after the time that law received
the President's signature, the Maryland
Steel Company was awarded a contract
for two dredges at $362,000 each. The for
eign concern offered to build them for
170,000 less, over 10 per cent. At that
rate. In $10,000,000 worth of supplies which
would be purchased next year, American
trusts will overcharge us $1,000,000, which,
according to the majority In Congress,
will not be extortionate or unreasonable.
The sales of American manufactures to
tHe people of the United States next year
will surely be $16,000,000,000 and will there
fore, at the same rate, represent $1,000,000,
000. Iniquity of Tariff System.
"Not only has the tariff system de
stroyed equality of taxation, closed the
door of Industrial opportunity and prac
ticed extortion upon our people, but it has
also been and must continue to be the
rotten center of an ever widening cen
ter of corruption. The Chicago packers
paid into the Republican campaign treas
ury the price pf the duty on hides and
felt safe in poisoning communities; the
Insurance companies of this State made
contributions, with, which they purchased
peace at Albany; the Pennsylvania pur
chased Immunity for years from the law
forbidding the railroads to engage In the
business of mining coal, and the ship
subsidy gam will pay Its money to help
elect a Republican Congress, which will
pass a ship subsidy bill."
The address of welcome was deliv
ered by Grand Sachem W. Bourke
Cockran. Thomas C. T. Crain read the
Declaration of Independence, and brief
addresses were delivered by represen
tative delegates from various sections
of the country.
Need of the Democracy.
In his address of welcome, Mr. Cock
ran said:
"We hear that the Democracy is no
longer needful In this country. We
are told that Government must now
Interfere in all matters. It Is a pro
posal that Socialism is to be substi
tuted for Democracy. In the Insur
ance frauds we find the rascals hold
ing a stronger grip on their ill-gotten
gains. Moreover, when a larceny of
$50,000 Is admitted, we find the offi
cers of the law not pursuing, but pro
tecting, and the whole country stands
aghast at the spectacle."
Mr. Cockran declared that the cam
paign contributions by the New York
Life Company, which were admitted
by George W. Perkins, had served to
merely strengthen the firm of J. P.
Morgan & Co., of which Mr. Perkins Is
a member, and he declnred that the
action of the appellate division of the
Supreme Court In declaring that these
contributions were not criminal had
shocked the community. Continuing on
the subject of campaign contributions,
Cockran said:
Robbery of Insurance Funds.
"A firm notorious for Its capacity in
promoting swindling operations contrib
utes $50,000 to the Republican campaign
fund, to give the firm of J. P. Morgan &
Co. weight and consequence with Repub
lican managers when it comes to legisla
tion, to secure favors for the Steel Trust,
and when the election Is over those $50,000
are taken out of the funds of an Insurance
company by an officer charged with the
custody of them for the benefit of helpless
people. Incapable of protecting themselves.
Instead of being indicted like any other
offender and allowed to offer any that he
could furnish, he Is asked by the District
Attorney to furnish his own explanation,
not upon the facts revealed by investiga
tion, but upon his own explanation, which
Is the defense of his crime.
"A farcical process Is Instituted by a
prosecuting officer who declares that no
ground exists for prosecution. Then three
Judges overrule him. That process Is car
ried before five Judges sitting in solemn
session, who tolerate the spectacle of a
man appearing before them to argue a
proposition which he has already de
nounced, i he fact that we find here a
District Attorney shielding a man whom
he has sworn to prosecute is a spectacle
shocking to civilization.
"We have seen out In Omaha a man
who had perpetrated against a child a
crime which every principle and Instinct
of Christianized manhood considers most
heinous. When arraigned before a Jury
upon evidence which he did not deny. In
cluding his own oonfession. he was ac
quitted, for no other reason than that the
man against whose family the offense had
been committed was himself a habitual
violator of the law.
Parody on Justice. ,
"The Jury declined to convict Pat Crowe
for one offense committed against Oudahy,
who himself was committing numerous
offenses every hour and every day of his
life. I do not say this Is Justice. It is a
parody on Justice, or rather it Is a paraly
sis of Justice; but the paralysis Is the re
sult of corruption at the heart."
"The swindling financiers need regula
tion. If the choice should be between riot
and rottenness, then I say riot Is the
leaser evil."
Congressman Robert L. Henry, of
Texas, who delivered one of the "long
talks" of the celebration, nominated
William J. Bryan and Congressman
Charles A. Towne, of New York, as
President and Vice-President, respec
tively, on the next Democratic ticket.
The audience yelled approval, applaud
ing with hands, feet and voices.
Texas Will Be There for Bryan.
"If I 3hould remove my residence
from Texas to New York," said Mr.
Henry, "the first act of mine would
be to become a member of Tammany.

Nearly Every Delegate to the Con
vention at Topeka Has His Say,
but the Vote to Enter the
Contest Is Decisive.
TOPEKA, Kan., July 4. After an ex
tended wrangle of speechmaklng, in
which more or less bitter feeling was dis
played, the Populist state party delegates
voted late this afternoon to place a party
ticket in the field. Practically every dele
gate present expressed his opinion. The
vote stood 1M to 68.
After naming a portion of the Con
gressional committee, the Populist State
Convention proceeded to the nomination
of a state ticket. Horace Keefer, of
Leavenworth, was named for Governor
by acclamation. J. A. Wright, of Smith
County, was named for Lieutenant-Governor.
The convention then took a re
cess. Mr. Keefer came to Kansas from
Pennsylvania and located in Kansas City
as an iron broker. As he explained It,
the iarger corporations froze him out,
and he went to Leavenworth.
When the Populist State Convention
was called to order here today, the prin
cipal fight in sight was that as to
whether or not the party should name a
full state ticket. At a caucus of the lead
ers last night that lasted until past mid
night it was decided at least to recom
mend that the convention take no favor
able action on any other ticket as a
whole. When State Chairman W. J. Babb
called the convention to order there were
less than 100 delegates present. George
W. Hanna was elected chairman.
"Within two years we will have more
long-haired Populists in New York than
we ever had in Kansas,"- he said In his
address.
Horace Keefer, ex-Senator from Leav
enworth. declared that the early work
of the Populists was now bearing fruit.
and the old parties have taken up the
doctrines of Tom Watson and other Pop-
ulistic leaders. Thomas H. Tibbies, who
ran on the ticket with Watson for Vice
President, told in a vigorous speech of
how the party was being reorganized
and of the growth of the Independent
spirit.
The following state officers were nomi
nated at tonight's session of the Populist
State Convention:
Secretary of State, Robert Helserman,
Riley County; Treasurer, D. C. Kay,
Graham County; Attorney-General,
George H Bailey, Jewell County; Super
intendent of Public Instruction, D. O.

SPOKANE BALL PARK BURNS
Players Have Narrow Escape and
Several Are Injured.
SPOKANE, Wash., July 4. (Special.)
More than 20,000 persons, gathered at
Natatoriuni Park to quietly celebrate the
Fourth, were driven to the far confines of
the park "by a Are this afternoon that for
Intensity and spectacular effects rivaled
any feature of the day In the Inland
Empire. Directly after the last ball game
of the City League, while the players
were still in their dressing-rooms, flames
burst out in the center of the stand.
The management of the park had stored
the fireworks intended for the evening
celebration under the stand and when
the blaze reached them there was a dis
play of daylight pyrotechnics that startled
the huge crowd outside.
All the spectators had left the Inclosure,
but William P. Connor, president of the
league, was still in the press box. With
a clear path, so far as the crowd was
concerned, before him, it was with diffi
culty that Connor, running at top speed,
got out of the path of the flames.
As he ran he shouted to the players
underneath to warn them of their danger
and they, also, were compelled to drop
everything and fly for their lives. Half a
dozen of them lost all their street cloth
ing, and as many were painfully burned
before they could get into the open.
The stand and fence were owned by the
Spokane Athletic Club. Its loss is about
$6000. The fireworks were valued at $1000.

College Student Disappeared While
Swimming.

Point man, who Is now at Bay St. Louis,
on his vacation, and his brother, Carl,
have been making a determined fight on
the larger sharks, and have landed four
which have been Interfering with .the
bathers.

terday, after a right of three hours. Af

men, as a matter of curiosity, cut It open
and found a part of the head and arms
of the unfortunate student who disap
peared in the fish's stomach.
