Albany, N. Y., Oct. 16.-The

this afternoon found the gov

him, in which he was charged
.with filing a false statement of
his campaign expenses.
Tho galleries woro packed with spec

cajled tho court to order for a final
vote on the quostion of removing the

KepifcVlicnn leader in the upper house
Uif the state legislature, voted guilty.

'saying he considered Sulzer's failure

Vonfession of guilt.

of the consideration, however that ho is

He will issue a statement tonight or

from "Doss" Murphy of Tammany.

Fearless Bishop
Says System of Taking From Meek and
Giving to Greedy Must End, and
Church Must Act.
UNITED FRESS LBASCD WIBE.
New York, Oct. Id. Bishop Frank
lin S. Spalding's bitter denunciation
of the rich and declaration for an in
dustrial democracy were admittedly to
day the sensation of the Protestant
Episcopal convention hero.
"I hate our system of giving to the
greedy and taking from the weak," de
clared the Utah bishop, in an address
last evening. "It is unchristian. It
is ungodly. It must end. The church
must awake and ally itself with the
movement for an industrial democracy.
"There are rich men at this conven
tion who don't care how they get their
money. They haven't a particlo of
feeling for the workingmen beneath
thorn.
"Tho laboring classes produce this
country's wealth; yet they are suffer
ing untold tortures from poverty. Seventy-four
per cent of our population
own only four per cent of our wcatlh.
"The workers are. forming their own
religion, just as they arc forming their
