We ought lo he thankful to Mr. Hammond, and I might nlmoat any worship him, for the work he hua done for this com munity. The deMt now being con- atmcted to Scow buy, when Mulshed. will be found to he more than our pres cut m-eda demand, l'oi tland for years .lid not have one-tenth of the fucllltles that are ;.u being furnished by the A and It. K. U. Company. We cannot afford to vent spite or small Jealoual ngulnat the railroad company, and It Is child's play to promulgate such pal pable untruths. These public attacks by the pitpers referred to, and certain people In our midst, only fall back on ourselves and prevent foreigners from Joining In with us and making Invest incuts for the establishment of manu factories nnd pay rolls. We want In the first place, the most hearty co operation amongst ourselves, and then the co-operation of Kaalern capital. We know what we have here; we know that our naturul resources are unequal ed, hut If for reasons of personal spite und blackguardism we are going to de fame the magnlllcent railroad work now under construction, we might as well shut up shop, if it was In my power to do Mr. Hammond or the rail road company uny ginxl In any possl me manner, 1 would buckle to with a will. "The first ten mile of the railroad grade above Tongue Point might have been built for one-half the amount of money already expended there, and etlll the company would have compiled with the letter of it contract with u. Ev erybody knows that a better trestle than that which ha been built through this city and across Toung'a Bay could not have been built out of wood. It la up to the requirement of every de vice known to modern engineering. The piling, stringers and cross-tie are much heavier than ordinarily used In work of this kind. Forty-pound teel rails might have been used, but Instead seventy-five pound rail have been laid. "These RenseleB attack are not mere criticisms of the work of the railroad company, which in Itself would amount to nothing, because the facts speak for themselves. Hut they are a blackening of our own characters as Individuals In this community, and an embargo on the advancement of the city. The time has come to call a halt In this sort of business. Mr. Hammond' per sonal character and llnnnclal standing cannot be touched by such comments and publications. Hut the standing' of the community nt large Is most serious ly Impaired by the promulgation of such m-llclcs. As has already been said by other, In regard to this, sub ject, these Items nppciulng abroad, necessarily have their effect upon thus. coutemplatlim' makliuv Investments in this section. They see these derogato ry Items in print credited to Astoria papers, and can only draw the conclu sion that they voice the sentiment of all of us. Take, for instance, the one charge made recently that the entire railroad scheme was a Cheap John af fair and that Mr. Hammond, in collu sion with Astoria property ow ners, was ilieply putting up a Joh to coalite hlin mid oilois of us lore to unload wild eat property unJ 'own lois upon the am k'-ra who might be Indued to con. -In ii This la u simple 1 1 - - -1 upon every eliliteii of AalorU UN well un upon the ralirond company. Those at a dlainnee rending aui li an ankle have no means of knowing good property from i.ud, und on the fine of it might be led to believe more or leas in tbe statements mude. The effect of aueh stuteim-nts cannot fall to depreciate all proe-rty In the city, and brand the whole place us unteoWmubly had. In the natural growth of the city, property must and will be sold, and that property whl'h la well locuted will no doubt find a ready market. Hut many who might take the trouble to iiiuK. personal In vestigations will bo deterred from ., doing uftr reading ui h scurrillous ar ticles " 3. E. FKI;ioN. "Ileferrlng to the subject matter un der discussion brought out by Judge Tuylor's letter In Sunday's Astorian. I run only say that thai letter Is an able one. und written on the light line. "I do not In any manner approve of tbe attacks made on A. II. Hammond and the railroad by the Kv-nlng Hud get and the Herald. We have been for I twenty yars trying to get a railroad Into Astoria, and begging tor some one to take hold of the proposition on any terms. A. H Hammond Is the only man who ever attempted the Job who was able to carry It through He has not only not fallen short of his prom ises and agreement, but he has given us a better roadbed and heavier rails than he need have done and still have currbd out his agreement to the letter. We have toduy In the city better rall roBd accommodations with Warrenton 'and eSuslde than the tralUc demands (The depot In-big built at Scow bay is a j much better one than will be necessary for the business for Some years to come. I and la a better one than Portland had i for years and years, with three trans it ntlneiitHl railroads terminating there. I "All such nttuiks as have recently , been made In the newspapers of this city, referred to. only keep out capital and retard our progress. Instead of running ours.dvcs down we ought to bund together and help to establish I outside enterprises here. The deriding or .Mr. Hammond nnd the railroad is a simple un-called for outrage. So far he has done more than he agreed to do. and the entire construction work Is better than we could have anticl pated. The road Is being built to meet the requirement which this port will have, and the spreading abroad of the untruthful reports that have been mad-: can only hurt ourselves." ALEX. CAMPBELL. "I heartily concur In the sentiments expressed tn Judge Taylor's letter In Inst Sunday's Astorlan. "I do not approve of the tirades made by certain of the press In this city against the railroad work being done here, and the motive actuating Its builders. To damn Hammond Is to double dumn ourselves, "We are so far ahead of the game and have one of the best pieces of road ever built in the I'nlted States. We have tried a hundred different would be capitalists and railroad builders, but Hammond Is the only man who had the bruins, money and will to build the road. We huve lacked unity and ener gy in pushing our afialrs. and If we would only talk and work together for the furtherance of the Interests of the town we live In, instead of against it all would be right. It is a dirty bird that fouls its own nest. "The talk against Flavel and the depot Is not only untruthful, but Is detrimental to every man, woman and child In the city, as well as those In tending to make this their future home. Such misstatements can be rec ognized as such here, but people abroad can have no mean of knowing, without Investigation a to their truth." REV. J. J. WALTER, I think that Mayor Taylor's letter published in last Sunday's Astorlan has the right ring. The newspaper person alities and assaults upon private char acter have spread distrust and given ua a bad name abroad. A friend of mine Just returned from Eugene tells me that during his absence of a week up the Willamette valley a number of newspapers published the following, which was credited by those papers to some report In an Astoria paper; " 'The steel rails for the Astoria and Columbia River Railroad have been shipped to San Francisco; the railroad stops at Scow bay. and Mr. Hammond has skedaddled out of the country.' True or ful.se, this was represented as a report from an Astoria paper. Per sonally I have not seen such a report. Hut It shows how. ready our friends, the enemy, are to take up bad reports from here, nnd tho least we can do is to stand up for our own community and not walk the streets to see whom can smite under the fifth rib. Let us build up Astoria." FltANK STOKFS. I think that Judge Taylor's article. published In last Sunday's Astorlan. hits the nail on the lu ad. Il is only by the united effort of the citizens of As toria that ue can mako a town here that we will be proud of nnd that will (Continued on Fourth Page.) THE NATIONAL DEMOCRACY Senator Offerv of Louisiana Made Pirni.mcnt Chairman of the Convention. CONDEMNS BRYAN PLATFORM hepresentatlve Gathering f.f Intelli gent Men from All Sections of the Country Organization to He Made Permanent. Indianapolis. Sept. 2. Forty-one nana and three territories represented by &24 delegates, met today In Tomlln son Hall as a climax of the six-weeks' campaign to repudiate the action ot the I'hhago convention, and to put forth a declaration of principles and name a presidential ticket. Senator Palmer. who called the body to order, termed It the ilrst convention of the National Democratic Party, while others referred to It as a Democracy who held It last convention In 192. Admission to the hall was confined strictly to ticket hold ers. As a result many people were de nied admittance. The decorations were brilliant and lavish. There w as a pro fusion of flag and bunting, trailing sinilax, and Spanish moss and potted Plants. About the most noticeable fea ture was the prevalence of gilt, sym bolic of the spirit of the convention. Ex-Governor Flower, of New Tork, was selected as temporary chairman. and after hi speech the usual com mittees were appointed and a recess taken until 4 o'clock. It was 4:15 w hen the temporary chair man, Flower, appeared on the platform to call the afternoon session of the con vention to order. There were stirring demonstrations as conspicuous men en tered. The galleries were more crowd ed than at the first session, and the proportion of ladles was fully as large. The report of the committee on cre dentials was first presented by Chair man Urennan, of Wisconsin. A state ment In the report that there were C4 delegates present representing -fl states and three territories, was hear tily applauded. The report of the com mittee on organization not being ready, Dr. Everett, of Massachusetts, was In troduced to the convention and made a strong speech. When Dr. Everett declared that Mas sachusetts was opposed to sectionalism and again w hen he said that the con vention would uphold the bonds of Mr. Cleveland for maintaining the credit of the nation, delegates Jumped upon their chairs and Joined In a stormy demon stration. HI touching reference to the sad death of ex-Governor Russell, of Massachusetts, who he said had died of a broken heart because of the folly of his party at Chicago, was received with rousing cheers. The committee on permanent organization recommend ed Senator Caffery, of Louisiana, for permanent chairman, John H. Wilson, of Indiana, as secretary-, and Kessler, of Indiana, as sergeant-at-arms. The report recommended that the organiza tion of the party be made permanent and that the committee be empowered to call future conventions. This met with a warm response. The report was adopted and Mr. Bullitt, of Pennsylvania, and Lawler, of Minneso ta, escorted Senator Caffery to the plat form. The convention listened closely to his speech and frequently Interrupt ed him by applause. Senator Caffery said: "I tender this convention my deepest thanks for the high honor of selecting me to preside over Its deliberations. I shall always regard it as the highest honor ever conferred upon me. "Charged by our party with the tunc tlon of ministering In Its temple of faith and teaching the people its true doctrine, our priests have desecrated the altars, broken It shrine, and taught false doctrines to the people. We now enter the sanctuary of the temple and take possession of the ark of the covenant of our faith which we will hereafter vigilantly guard, protect and defend. We will purify the sacred altars and rebuild its broken shine. and lest the hearts of the people be stolen away from the true Democratic faith, the faith of our fathers and founders, we must separate from our brethren who have wrought this evil and from those who have followed their evil teaching. We cannot follow them in the road they have taken for their feet are swift to destruction and their way is the way of death. The ties that hound us were as strong as hooks of steel, and we depart from them in sor row. Loyalty to party discipline and organization has ever been the "pride and strength of our party. Loyalty to principle has ever been and ever will be Its cardinal nnd leading tenet, para mount to all others, binding In con- lence and guiding the action of every true Democrat. If we do not look into evidence to show the Michigan frauds Hid other devious acts und pracllo .lesigned to pack the convention, the Chicago platform has the stamp of ot;:4 party a v. I '!i':n i:.4 i.'leglac.l-o. Hut it :- a mere simulacrum; a f .rn. without the subs, ar.ee of D inoen.cy. and no Democrat is bound by it, nor is it entitled to his fealty. The declara tions of that platform are 'open, pat-1 palde and flagrant departure from all that Democracy has stood for. They assail the money standard of the coun try and declare for the Inflated and depreciated standard of free silver at the ratio of 1 to 1. They assail the right and power of the executive to en force the law and to protect property under the control and custody of the federal courts In any slate In the un ion. They attack trie Inte-rrity of a co-ordinate branch of the government; tiiey declare that the function of Issu ing paper r.: jney Is to be exclusively exercised y the government Itself. They sso the right of the citizen to contract for payment In any leglt mate commodity; they declare that th obligation of the government, for which gold was received, and for the payment of which In :he same coin the national faith 1 pledged, may be paid In a depreciated coin, and we declare that each and everyone of these at tacks and declarations are undemo cratic. fB, "They make an assault on the consti tution, the time-honored principle of the Democratic party, and the distin guished patriot and statesman who has twice led It to the only victories It haa achieved In thirty-six year. "It Is the Ishmael of platforms. It raises Its hand against some of tbe principles of both parties and all the principles of the Democratic party. It is begotten of an avowed union be tween Democracy. Populism and Anar chy. And that the scriptures may be fllled. it will be a fugitive and wanderer on the face of the earth. We hold that no argument I needed to show the rev,. olutlonary and anarchistic character of tbe doctrine that the law cannot be enforced In a tate to protect property which is In the Jurisdiction of the fed eral courts, or to protect the United States maiU, or that the supreme court ought to be reorganized, or that the national honor should be strained, or the national faith violated, or that the function of Issuing paper money ought to be exclusively exercised by the fed eral government. We hold that the theory of free coinage of llver with gold at the ratio of 16 to 1 admits of ar gument, but we hold that the weight of authority, the strength of reasoning and the facts of history all point to Its fallacy and the ruinous conse quences of It adoption. We hold that it will rob the poor man of hi wage and the rich man of his wealth; the widow of her savings the child of its patrimony, the soldier of hi pension, the Industrious of his toil, and the In ventor of the reward of hi genius. We hold that U will demoralize and ser iously disturb the Immense trade and commerce of the republic and drive the country to a discredited, depreciated and depreciating standard; smite our finances as with a palsy and trade with blight. We hold that the nation's cred it will fall prostrate. Its obligations will be dishonored and It unsullied charac ter will be stained with fraud and de- celt. Fellow citizens, we are not traitors to our party. We are In the house of our fathers. We cannot be driven from it. We will defend the honor of our country and the Integrity of our princi ples as long as life endures. At the conclusion of Caffery speech John P. Irish, of California, was called for and responded. His characteriza tion of Bry an as the "agent of tbe sil ver syrdicate and a commercial trav eler for millionaire mine-owners, tour ing the country for business," raised a laugh which ended in a round of ap plause when he declared that the pub lic should not be made the "tool" of this puppet of syndicate. Immediate ly after Mr. Irish's speech, the conven tion at 5:50 adjourned until tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock. The convention held two sessions, but got no further than effecting a perma nent organization. Every reference to Mr. Cleveland was the signal for a scene, during which men cheered and waved whatever they could get their hands on. Perhaps the most Important action taken by the convention today was the adoption of the recommenda tion to make the organization perma nent, and to empower the national com mittee appointed to call all future con ventions. Thla Indicates a contest four years from now over the regularity of the tw.o organizations and may prove far reaching In Its effects. The platform will be completed and candidates nom inated tomorrow. Tonight a great mass-meeting Is In progress, while one set of leaders Is at work framing the platform and anoth er trying to fix upon the candidates. There seem to be almost a unanimous sentiment in favor of General Buckner, of Kentucky, for vice-president, but the contest for president Is still open. Al though Bragg has seemingly been in the lend all day, powerful intluences are at work to defeat him. His recep tion today In the convention was a disappointment' to his friends. It was (Continued on Fourth Page.) Highest of all in Leavening Power. Latest U. S. Gov't Report , &o 1 w a " "k ABSOLUTELY PURE FORTY THOUSAND VETERANS IN LINE G. A. K.

TOUCHING SCENES WITNESSED A Living Flag the Sensation of the Day Politics of the Encampment Will Be Taken up Today Many Candidate. j Special to the Astorlan. St. Paul, Minn, Sept, 2. Nearly forty thousand veterans tramped the street I of St. Paul for several hour today, the occasion being the parade at the na ' tlonal encampment of the Grand Army !of the Republic. ! It was just half past eleven o'clock when the head of the parade reached rthe grand reviewing stand at Smith ' Park, where General Walker took hi place on tbe platform, and the irst di j vision, headed by the veteran signal I corps, passed In review. It was 2:2S i this afternoon when tbe last post of the I big eighth division, containing Minne , sota'i veteran, had passed, and there was scarcely a noticeable break In the i line. A chorus of young girls, arranged a a living flag, was the feature of the ! day that most appealed to the march ing veterans, and many touching scenes ' were witnessed In front af the mam moth chorus. The children had bees ! thoroughly trained by Prof. .. A. Cong j don, of the city schools, and were quick ito respond to his every signal. As the ! head of each department arrived the ' strains of their mingled voices could be J heard above the music of bands. In pa triotic greeting, as they sang the same song of the many song they bad pre ' pared for such greetings. And old ol , dlers, as they came past the corner land saw the great chorus beautifully i representing "Old Glory." quickly I doffed their hats and waved them la ;the air as they shouted their apprecla ' tion, paying little heed to the tears that streamed their careworn cheeks. - j The parade has been in mind to such an extent that the politics ot the en ; campment must take a back seat and ! wait for tbe business session to open , tomorrow. The candidates are Bttll be ;ing urged by their friends, the leaders ; being Rear-Admiral eMad, Major T. S. Clarkson, and New Hampshire's candi date. Comrade Linthan. It seems to : night to be the dividing between the East and West and the fact that Buf falo will surely get the next encamp ment may affect the result, as the '. different sections are somewhat Jealous 'of the honors. There are more candi dates and they will have strong sup ' port, but these are the leaders. The j other officers will depend considerably i upon the result of the election of com ; mander-in-chief. j MAJOR McKINLET. lis Overwhelmed with Letters and Tele ' grams of Congratulation, I Canton, Sept. 2. Ever since MeKlnley ; returned to Cantou from Columbus he has received at his home an Immense j volume of mail and telegraphic matter, i but the conditions this week surpass ; that of any time since the campaign 'opened. Heavy as was the flood of j elegrams and letters on his nomination. It does not approach that which haa followed his letter of acceptance. The mail can no longer be handled In the ordinary manner of neatly tied pack ages, but is now delivered in sacks, and the number of telegrams, were they counted, would be surprising in the highest degree. Such time as can be spared from callers and visiting dele gations is being devoted by the major to these messages. He has signed aa high as 1360 letters ot acknowledgment in one evening, and still those requir ing attention continue to accumulate. Today came a flow of telegrams on the Vermont result, which everywhere fh Republican circle seems to be accepted as a true Index of the result to follow In November. NEW TORK POPS. Syracuse, N.
