"TEXAS CYCLONE" TALKS
J. H. DAVIS VISITS THE UXTERIU
FIED IX PORTLAND.
He Favor Fusion of the Silver
Forces Feeling: the Popallst
Pulse.
A number of prominent free-silver poli
ticians yesterday paid their respects to
J. H. Davis, of Texas, as the "T.exas cy
clone" registered himself at the Perkins.
Among the visitors were Will R. King and
Sylvester Pennoyer,. and the trend of their
conversation showed that Mr. Davis was
out in Oregon sizing up the political situa
tion. He says he Is making a. tour of the
Northwest, with a view to reporting po
litical conditions and smoothing over diffi
culties. If he finds any, between the fac
tions. Though nominally a Populist, Mr.
Davis says he Is willing to take up Mr.
Bryan and fuse with the Democrats as In
1SS5.
"Silver, though not the most prominent
Issue, will be an important plank in the
Populist platform this year," he explained,
"and although' recent National events
have a tendency to bring out new issues,
I feel sure the voters of New York and
the Atlantic states have been largely ed
ucated out of their prejudices against free
silver during the past four years.
"Aa a Populist, I think to undertake to
separate the union formed with the Bryan
Democrats four years ago would result
in discord, factional contention and dis
ruption of our own party, and thereby
give encouragement and support to the
Republican party, which stands for aris
tocracy. Imperialism and plutocracy. Our
prosperity today is like the thrifty farm
er's swine, which eat, drink and grow fat,
little dreaming that just outside the sty
the farmer who feeds Is steadily prepar
ing a day for slaughter."
In regard to factions within the Populist
party, he said: "Following the action of
our convention in 1S36. the Mid-Road fac
tion claimed that they were willing to
abide by the action of the National con
vention, when the basis of the convention
vote was upon votes cast for Populist
nominees. They made this and a number
of other demands upon the regular Na
tional committee, and a meeting was
called, to consider them at Omaha. The
result of this meeting was that the sub
stance of almost every demand -made by
Clid-Roaders was" obtained in what is
known as the 'Omaha agreement.'
"And yet some of the leaders who were
most urgent in making these demands
were planning for and arranged a bolt, to
organize a separate party, and nominated
"Wharton Barker and Ignatius Donnelly
as their candidates. This faction Is now
proposing to hold another convention, is
divided again, and has two separate chair
men, and organizations, the first -with
Park of Texas chairman, the second with
Deaver of Nebraska chairman.
"To follow either or both of these fac
tions, should they fuse, would, in my
judgment, be fatal to all we have hoped
for and worked for as Populists."
Mr. Davis favors Judge H. C. Caldwell,
of Arkansas, or John Clark RIdpath, of
Indiana, as running mate for Bryan.
DAVIS TO THE UXTERRIFIED.
Whooped Up Fre-e Silver to Demo
cratic Committeemen.
J. H. Davis, the "Texas Cyclone," made
a. characteristic speech last night at the
Democratic headquarters at the meeting
of the precinct committees. The delay
and confusion Incident upon the Demo
cratic primaries caused the meeting to
be late in coming to order, and at the
conclusion of the address an adjournment
was voted.
Mr. Davis stated informally that later
on he was booked to speak at Fresno,
Cal., and would pass through Oregon on
his way there from North Dakota. At
that time he will stop at Portland and
make a public speech.
"Cyclone's" Speech.
Mr. Davis Informed his hearers when
called upon that he was not prepared
for a speech, but would discuss In an in
formal way paramount issues. He ex
plained that he was In the Northwest at
present for the purpose of locating and
feeling the sentiment of the Pacific States,
which he was to report to the National
Democratic and the National Populist
committees. Another mission he held
from the two committees was to try to
adjust any differences that might exist
between the Populist and Democratic
forces in this section, and promote fra
ternal, active, energetic work so far as
possibly could be accomplished, for the
coming campaign.
"In Oregon, especially, so far as I have
gone," said he, "I think matters are more
propitious than I expected to find them. I
believe the prospects this year for the
success of Mr. Bryan are excellent. I as
sume that he has gained in the East, and
If the Eastern people are sincere in all
their written and reported action as to
what they will do, his election Is almost
assured, because ho has not lost any In the
"West, and In the South and Middle "West
"he has gained. That view is based on
three reasons:
"First, because of the fact that his po
sition and what he- stood for In 1896 is
more thoroughly understood by the people,
and, understanding them more thoroughly,
they are not sa much alarmed as they
were In 1B96. That Is, the conservative,
cautious business element that Is so much
talked about, are sincerely regretting the
result of the last National election, and
now are not only willing that Mr. Bryan
should be elected, but are actually work
ing for his election. On the other hand,
the Republican Administration as repre
sented In its administrative terms, has re
solved Itself Into a plea of guilty to every
charge that was made in the last cam
paign, and this much Increases Mr.
THE FEAR OF HUMBUG.
Prevent Many People From Trying1
a Good Medicine.
Stomach troubles are so common and In
most cases so obstinate to cure that people
are apt to look with suspicion on any rem
edy claiming to be a radical, permanent
cure for dyspepsia and Indigestion. Many
such pride themselves on their acuteness
in never being humbugged, especially In
medicines.
This fear of being humbugged can be
carried too far, so far, in fact, that m'any
people suffer for years with weak digestion
rather than risk a little time and money
in faithfully testing the claims made of a
preparation so reliable and universally
used as Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
Now Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are
vastly different in one Important respect
from ordinary proprietary medicines for
the reason that they are not a secret pat
ent medicine, no secret Is made of their in
gredients, but analysis shows them to con
tain the natural digestive ferments, pure
aseptic pepsin, the digestive acids. Golden
Seal, bismuth, hydrastjs and nux. They
are not cathartic, neither do they ac
powerfully on any organ, but they cure in
digestion on the common-sense plan of
digesting the food eaten thoroughly be
fore it has time to ferment, sour and
cause the mischief. Th's is the only secret
of their success.
Cathartic pills never have and never can
euro indigestion and stomach troubles be
cause they act entirely on the bowels,
whereas the whole trouble Is really In the
stomach.
Stuarfs Dyspepsia Tablets taken after
meals digest the food. That Is all there
is to It Food not digested or half digested
Is poison as It creates gas, acidity, head
aches, palpitation of the heart, loss of
flesh and appetite and many other trou
bles which are often called by some other
name.
They are sold by druggists everywhere
t 50 cents per package.
Bryan's strength. On the other hand, the
party irom which I come Is much more
unanimous in its support, and is much
more harmonious and thorough in that
support In most of the states. They feel
more anxious for his election. They have
resolved themselves Into a great thought
that Mr. Bryan and his element of the
Democracy represent the form of govern
ment that has crystallzed into what they
want, and that If they fall to co-op-rate
with him and actively push that move
ment forward, they have lost a great op
portunity. This ia the support Populists
everywhere, save a few mlddle-of-the-roa'aers,
and their numbers are few, will
give.
"If you will follow this out you will
see that Mr. Bryan will enter the cam
paign with a great deal more strength.
Another thing, on which I speak advised
ly. Is that the Democratic committee en
tered Into the campaign of 1SSS absolutely
disconcerted. They had no records, books,
lists or anything with which to make the
campaign. They did not know their speak
ers or their papers, except from, an old
list that was not at all reliable. Now they
have a thorough organization, know who
to depend upon, and are ready for action.
From all this I fel cheerful over the out
look, unless something turns up within the
next few weeks to disconcert the forces
now crystallzlng and unifying all over
the country.
"As to united action, I know the Popu
list convention will meet first, but there
will be a conference committee, and there
will be an understanding. The first choice
of both conventions for the office of Pres
ident, of course, will be Mr. Bryan. There
id no question about that. There Is some
diplomacy to be used, and perhalps .there
will be some embarrassments arising in
the selection of a Vice-President satisfac
tory to both parties. But, as far as Indices
point and conditions present themselves,
and according to conferences among Dem
ocrats and Populists, the nominee chosen
for Vice-President will be Judge Hen. 7
Clay Caldwell, of Arkansas. He Is a very
strong man. He was appointed to the
Federal judiciary by Abraham Lincoln in
1S64, jusf a short time before Lincoln's
death, and, I believe, was the last Fed
eral appointee of the martyred President.
His home is in Arkansas, but his judicial
district extends to the Dakotas. The line
of thought on the Vice-Presidential nom
inee includes several names, however,
such as George Fred Williams, of Massa
chusetts; George F. Washburn, of Massa
chusetts, who is a noted Populist, and also
Senator Daniel, of Virginia, and Chief
Justice Clark, of North Carolina. They
all have been discussed among -Populists
and Democrats In different states as can
didates that all could unite on. We want
a man all will unite on. and we want you
here to feel perfectly at liberty to get
ready for a good fight, which your com
mencement Indicates you will do, because 1
there will be men on whom we will unite,
and we will have a good ticket.
"Our Republican friends are feeling con
slderable embarrassment in a good many
of the states in the East and Middle West.
They find a lot of the old-line Abraham
Lincoln Republicans, who have always
loyally fought for and been Intensely wed
ded to the doctrines of the Republic and
Republican party as founded by Abraham
Lincoln, but now not only are unwilling to
support but are energetically and active
ly preparing to defeat President McKln
ley. They insist that he has become un
American and that he has undertaken to
carry the Republican party so far beyond
all tradition, all memory, all precedent
and all antecedents of the party that they
cannot go with him."
Mr. Hutchin asked Mr. Davis to dwell
particularly on organization, as that was
a feature on which the fusionlsts of the
Northwest needed counsel. To this Mr.
Davis replied:
"Well, gentlemen, I believe that organ
ization and discipline are absolutely nec
essary In all political parties and political
movements until we reach that period in
life as a Republic when the people can
dispense with these incidents of the work.
In this state, I am very glad to find there
is a feeling that all the reform parties
shall be united, and united all the way
along the line. My efforts have virtually
been bended In uniting, and I believe with
in a few weeks of the time when the con
vention meets 'the feeling will bo com
plete and you will have perfect unity. I
know it is the desire of the National com
mittees that there should be no slumping
of the vote In Oregon. They want you
to succeed from bottom to top, and they
do not want the Republican press to her
ald and headline back over the country a
slump in Oregon. I hope every man here
will Join In an effort to prevent It, for any
foiling off or clump would be held up all
over the country as a weakening of the
party.
Newton McCoy asked how the Social
Democracy should be handled. Mr. Davis
anticipated no trouble from this source,
as they would draw equally from Repub
licans, he thqught, and if Mr. Bryan failed
to catch them, the nomination of Judge
Caldwell as Vice-President would, as hla
decisions had always been of a character
to- appeal to this -class of persons. Chair
man Wells asked about the Transvaal
proposition, whether there would "be fuel
there. Mr. Davis assured the audience
that there was palpable evidence of one
of those behlnd-the-curtaln agreements be
tween the Administration and England,
which would be turned to account in due
time when campaign issues bobbed up.
Antl-imperlalism and the trust problems
were mentioned as other Issues to arise.
One person asked Mr. Davis if the "16-to-1"
issue was not dead. To this he re
plied that as an issue, it might be ex
pedient to relegate that to tho back
ground, but as a principle It was as strong
today as it would ever be or ever was.
Issues were largely determined by envir
onment and circumstances. Mr. Davis
first explained why this haa been laid
on the shelf by the recent gold-standard
legislation, which he said changed the
Federal indebtedness from coin to gold.
Two parties were necessary to an agree
ment. The Republican Administration had
entered Into a 30-year contract that thfse
bonds should be paid in gold, which the
speaker termed a very wrongful and un
fair method of settling the Issue, and until
the expiration of that period, there was
no way of breaking the contract Ho later
admitted that there was an Increased pro
duction of gold, and he held that any In
crease In the money, whether silver or
paper, was beneficial.
Gymnasium Nigrht at 31. A. A. C.
Friday evening, April 6, will be gymna
sium night at the M. A. A. C. The
chairman of the Indoor athletic committee
says that the object of the gymnasium
night will be to give tho members of the
club and their gentlemen friends an op
portunity of seeing the regular -work of
the class nights. The work of the evening
-will be conducted by Professor Robert
Krohn, who will put the class through
many Interesting exercises. It is not the
Intention to give an exhibition by the ex
pert gymnasts, but to give a faithful rep
resentation of the regular class work.
Uniform suits will be -worn, and they will
consist of whiter trousers, white shirts,
with quarter sleeves and the club emblem,
and red belts. Under the able direction
of Mr. Krohn, the gymnasium work has
been made unusually attractive. The
classes are larger than ever before, and
enthusiasm was never so marked. Mr.
Krohn Is -particularly ingenious in devising
new and interesting work. The wrestling
bouts will be in charge of Mr. Herbert
Greenland, and the boxing will be directed
by David Campbell. There is promise Oi
several interesting contests in boxing,
for e large number of men are taking
work with Mr. Campbell on class nights
and not n few of them are displaying de
cided ability. The last event of the even
ing will bo a basket-ball game by two
teams selected from the class.
Last night, the Junior swimming races
were continued. In the second class the
first place was won by Frank Mulks, who
swam two lengths in 45 seconds. The first
place in the first class was won by Rob
ert Sears, who swam four lengths of tho
tank in S5 seconds. An interesting exhibi
tion was given by little Chester "Wilcox,
who is the youngest swimmer in the club.
i being only 7 years old. He swam almost
two lengths and showed himself to be pos
sessed of an excellent style.
In connection with regular gymnasium
work, it Is proposed to bold monthly con
tests during the months when outdoor
work cannot be enjoyed. It seems not Im
probable that these evenings will come to
be one of the most popular features of
the club.
B
DANISH CABINET RESIGNS.
May Frcxcat the Sale of "West Indian
Islands.
NEW YORK. March 24. A special to the
World from Washington says:
The resignation of the Danish Cabinet
means two things of Importance to the
United States.
First It Is Improbable that this coun
try will be able to buy the Danish West
Indies for f4.00i),000, as provided for In the
Gardner bill, now before the foreign re
lations committee of the House, or for
any other sum.
Second By the time this Congress ad
journs the German flag will be flying over
the islands of St. John and St. Thomas,
of the Danish West Indies group, by right
of lease from tho Danish government to
the Emperor of Germany.
Negotiations between this Government
and Denmark for the purchase of the Is
lands were practically terminated by tho
resignation of the Danish Ministry, head
ed by Prime MinlstrHoerrlng. The Cab
inet resigned because of the grear-popu-lar
uprising against the sale of the Dan
ish West Indies to the United States. King
Christian and the Cabinet of Denmark
had consented to sell the Islands to this
country for 34.090.000. It was stipulated,
however, that the sale should be made be
fore the adjournment of the present ses
sion of Congress. The Gardner bill was
introduced at the instance of the Presi
dent and Secretary Hay, and had it been
acted upon speedily or even considered, tha
Cabinet might have been forced to resign,
but the bargain arranged would have bees
carried out.
The new Cabinet will be made up of
Danish politicians In favor of retaining
the Islands. In 1SG7 a contract of sale be
tween the United States and Denmark
for these Islands was entered into. Tho
price was to be 57,500.000. The treaties
failed by the refusal of the United States
Senate to ratify them.
Germany has been trying to secure the
Islands; and while it is the determination
of Denmark not to sell them to any other
country and not to sell them to the United
States If It can be avoided, an option for
a lease for a long term of years has been
given to Germany for the Islands of St.
Thomas and St. John.
If the United States does not buy then:
Germany will lease them and get control
of the magnificent harbor of St. John.

platform work in behalf of children's
rights, and is opposed to child labor. She
favored compulsory education as a prac

the factories and workshops. She made a
plea for more practical education. Believ

best to awaken the faculties of a child,
she labored wlih voice and pen to pro
