In answer to a letter mailed to largo number of more or less prominent people by the editor of the Portland Labor Press asking for their views on the case of the soldier Buwalda. sen 'tenced to Alcatrac for shaking hands with Emma Ooldman, General Frederick Funston writes a rather vltrollc reply- In. which he expresses his opinion of nis critic and Incidentally gives rea sons why he Is in sympathy with the common people and feels a contempt for the 'rich and vulgar fools of the country who spend their money like drunken harlots. In the letter General Funston makes the following reference to his early struggles: . ... "I have not the slightest doubt that I have done more hard work I mean manual labor than nine-tenths of the windjammers who range up and down . the country telling the worklngman that his name Is 'Dennis,' and 1 am proud of It. I lived until young man- ' liooa on a Kansas farm, with all that that means. In my day they had the - eigm-nour law on Kansas farms, but ' the whole trouble was that everybody worked two shifts a day.

To the Editor of the Evening Post, New -.York: In your issue of May 30, you criticise editorially the punishment in flicted upon Private William Buwalda. company A, engineers, for participating in an anarchist meeting in this city, and this expression of your views has been copied and made much of by the ardent patriots who control the various an , archist and socialist newspapers of the country. Just why the socialists are , tearing meir nair over the matter I am unable to understand, as the meeting ln question was not one Ipr the dlsctis- ' sion of socialistic vlewsTout a violent tirade, pure and simple, by the well- - known Emma Goldman, against all gov ernments and particularly that of the uniiea ciiaies, 10 wnicn liuwalda had on every one of his several enlistments solemnly sworn allegiance. With It all was a scurvy and lying attack on the army and navy. And this man sat there in unuorm ana applauded time and again, while his government was' de- - nouneea and his comrades called hired murderers, and at the close' warmly shook hands with the speaker and ex pressed his sympathy with her views.

This man shows his gross Ig norance of the administration of mili- , tary justice by speaking of courts mar tial as being composed of from one to . three officers. Probably every private In the army knows that a general court , martial, the only kind that could in flict a punishment of dishonorable dis charge and Imprisonment, must consist of from five to 13 officers.

A torpid liver Is but an Indication of an 111 -nourished, enfeebled was sworn to by the man who had taken it down. In fact, there Iihs never cpme before me a case in which the evidence was more positive and thi eertalnty of guilt more absolute. Al though the man had been tried for but one offense, the meeting in question, ft was brought out in the trial that he at tended others addressed by the same eaker, and so was cognizant of her and had taken pains to InKrati ate himself with Miss Goldman and thoe associated with her. Now a few words as to the merits of tho case. I recognize but one re sponsibility in the performance uf my official acts, that which I owe to the commander ln chief of the army, as rep resented by the secretary of war, and ordinarily would not think of explain ing through the press my actions ln an official capacity, but the Evening Post, a very fine paper for which I have the highest regard, has got off on the wrong Toot ln this business, misled, I am sure, by meagre and inaccurate press dis patches relative to the case. "The first duty of an officer or en listed man of the army Is absolute and unquestionable obedience and loyalty to the government to whicb has has sworn allegiance. It makes no difference whether he approves of that govern ment or- not. His service is voluntary and It Is easy for him to get out. an officer at any time, an enlisted man at the close of his termn of enlistment, ln this particular case the socialistic brethren are expending undue time and energy In rending their undergarments and making the night hideous with their walls. I may be mistaken, but I nave never ln my owui mind classed Socialists and anarchists together. The Socialist is profoundly dissatisfied with social and industrial conditions and seeks to remedy thrfem by radical changes ln governmental policy; while me anarchist preaches teh doctrine of the overthrow of all government with nothing ln Its place. The former may be, and of otten Is, a good and patri otic citizen. We may recognize the in equalities and wrongs of which he com plains without agreeing with him as to the remedy therefor. 1 do not mind say ing that I would not have ihn sMirht. est hesitancy about attending a Social ist meeting if I could listen to an ad dress which was a sane exposition of Socialistic principles as distinguished from an arfarchiatic attack on the gov ernment. If Buwalda had attended a Socialist meeting as distinguished from an anarchist tirade, and had worn out his hands in applauding, no one would have thought of punishing him, or if he had attended an anarchist meeting as a mere spectator and had not par ticipated therein by making a "holy show" of himself, as this man did no attention, would have been paid to' his conduct. The record ln this ra hi. . S .umie-sraeiai or tne army, and if, in his opinion, the trial was not a fair one or the conviction of Buwalda jusunea, ne will recommend to the V'cmueui a nui in icaiion or the sentence In closing, I may say that It Is rea sonable tO SUPDOSe that the ovnorlan officers of the army are probably pret ty fair Judges of what constitutes a military offense, and what does not j no army eianos arroj-e all things for loyalty to the constituted government be It under the Republican.

A big sensation was sprung ln the convention this afternoon when Chairman Bell an nounced that two sets of committee names had come from the Pennsylvania delegation. Congressman James of Kentucky moved that the question be referred to the committee on credentials. Delegate J. M.

Howls of disapproval greeted him when he moved that the Guffey delegates be given places on tho convention committee.

Bell declined to accede, and put the motidn amid wild scenes of confusion. He declared that the mo tion was carried and the matter re ferred to the committee. Bell refused to vield to a demand for a roll call made by the Pennsvl vanlans, and Delegate Donnelly of Pennsylvania, a broad shouldered individual, shook , his fist at Bell and yelled: I "You've had your orders and we're having our first exhibition, but the iwmncrats or the nation will have something to ask you after you get through with your gag tactics.
