onus of this state. Mr. Kerr an-
nounced the following as the secreta-
ries of the convention: J. F. Snyder,
J. P. J. Sensednefer, George H. Hoff-
man. C, B. Keifer, F. E. Bible and J.
D. Sells. The representation in the
convention consists of 461 delegates
made of one representative for every
10CO or fraction of a thousand votes cast
for Governor^Pattison at the last elec-
tion. Nominations of temporary chair-
men were then in order. Herman Kritz
of Berks, nominated H. Willis Bland
of Reading, for that position and he
was unanimously chosen. Mr. Bland
was conducted to the chair amid ap-
plause. In his speech he said that
never in the history of the party has a
campaign begun under more auspicous
or promising conditions.
The business of the convention was
then begun. Congressman William
Mutcbler was made chairman of the
committee on resolutions and a com-
mittee to select delegates at large to
the constitutional convention was ap-
pointed. Committees on credentials
and on permanent organization were
same was due and payable and for hav-
ing conspired with John Bardsley, the
republican treasurer of Philadelphia
city and county, to appoint and retain
corrupt mercantile appraisers, who
abused their offices for their own pri-
vate, pecuniary advantage, robbed the
s;ate of its just revenues and imposed
upon the commonwealth, hundreds of
thousands of dollars of needless costs,
and we demand the dismissal of the
mercantile appraisers of Philadelphia
and for having conspired with John
Bardsley, the republican treasurer of
Philadelphia city and county, to spec-
ulate in public advertising and
for having received from the
publishers of the same bribes to influ-
ence their official conduct in placing
such advertisements, for having failed
to promptly collect the taxes and
claims of the commonwealth against
delinquent and defaulting public and
private corporations.
Seventh—We arraign and condemn
the republican state treasurer for wil:
fully and knowingly permitting John
Bardsley to retain in his possession
over a million dollars of money col-
lected for and owing to the common-
wealth of Pennsy vania, by reason of
which dereliction a large portion of
the money has been lost to the people,

also appointed and the cii11°ii^^a.t
enacted by the last general assembly
was a step in the right direction, but it
needs to be supplemented by measures
to protect the secrecy of the ballot and
to secure reform in registration. To
this end and for this purpose only, we
favor the assembling of a constitut ional
convention.

mittee ou permanent organization re-
ported in favor of Hon. George W.
Skinner of Fulton county for perman-
ent chairman and a vice-president
from each senatorial district. The
temporary minor officials were retained
permanently.
THE PLATFORM.
First. We the representatives of the
democracy of Pennsylvania, in conveu-
funds, long in advance of the
usual time and when Bardsley as al
ready known to the state treasurer to
be a defaulter for over half a million
dollars, which sum was improvidently
paid to Bardsley, was by him embezzled
to the loss of Philadelphia city and the
shame and scandal of the state, for
having conspired to pay to John Bards-
ley, the republican treasurer of Phila-
delphia city and county, on December
30, 1390, one hundred and fifty thou-
sand dollars out of the state treasury,
ostensibly on account of Philadelphia
county’s share of the personal property
tax, but actually before that tax had
been paid into the state treasury, and
when Bardsley was already a defaulte-
and embezzler ou account to the
amount of *612,013.
Eighth.—We arraign and condemn
the republican party of Pennsylvania
for having"fostered, encouraged, pro-
tected and continued a reckless system
of official speculation with public
moneys, whereby state and city treas-
urers have enriched themselves,
The Indian Messiah.
Guthrie. O. T., Sept. 3.—Old C’raw,
the Cheyenne chief w ho went to the
Pine Ridge agency a few weeks ago in
search of the messiah, returned yester-
day and is now engaged in detailing to
his red breathern on Four Mill Creek
the wonderful things he saw. Old
Crow also visited Walker’s Lake at
which place he saw myriads of fairies
who were the recognized children of
Christ. He reports all the Indians in
that region as dancing and declares
that he will return to Walker’s Lake La
a week or two and persuade Christ to
come here with him. His Influence
with the Indians here is rapidly in-
creasing and he now has a large num-
ber of followers.

an wen uuusiuctcu legislation tending
to increase the rewards and lighten the
burdens of labor.
Second—We realize and affirm that
the state election of 1891 in Pennsyl-
vania involves no issue of federal poli-
tics, we appeal to honest and patriotic
citizens, regardless of past party affili-
ations to unite in vindicatingthe honor
of this commonwealth and redeeming
the fiscal and auditing departments of
ts government from official abuses
and corrupt practices.
Third—We arraign and condemn the
republican legislature for having re-
fused to enforce the constitution by
appropriate legislation, for having failed
no pass honest and equitable
apportionment bills as required by the
constitution from having ignored the
demands of labor for relief by law; for
having denied the righteous popular
demand for such laws as would dis-
tribute the burdens of public taxation
equally upon all classes of property,
and for having refused to reform long
existing abuses in the mercantile ap-
praisment laws as recommended by the
democratic executive in 1885.
Fourth -We arraign and condemn
the republican legislature for the enact-
ment of vexatious, oppressive and vi-
cious legislation against which the ex-
ecutive veto was interposed for the pro-
tection of the people.
Fifth-We arraign and condemn the
republican party of Penn-
sylvania for electing, men to
the state and municipal
ofljees, by whose neglect of duty, com-
plicity in fraud and plunder of the
public treasury, a million and a half
dollars of the people’s money has been
stolen and squandered.
Sixth, -We arraign and condemn the
republican auditor-general for having
permitted John Bardsley, tlie_ republi-
treasurer of Philadelphia City and
county to embezzle a million and a half
dollars of state tax collected by him,
which ho was permitted to retain for a
long period after the same was due and
payable, and for having permitted John
Bardsley the republican treasurer of
Philadelphia City and county to em-
bezzle more than three hun-
dred and sixty thousand dol
lars of state license money
collected by him, which he was pwmit-
ted to retain for a long period affl*r the
thSWpayers- The practice of using
public funds for private gain of politi-
cal advantage is to be condemned and
should be completely and thoroughly
eradicated.
Ninth.—We arraign and condemn the
republican state convention recently
assembled for its condonation and de-
fense of faithless republican state offi-
cials, guilty of these derelictions, some
of whom sat in its councils, influenced
its action and dictated and controlled
its utterances.
Tenth—We pledge the candidates
this day nominated to correct these
abuses, to reform these practices and
to punish those guilty of them, and we
pledge our support to the state admin-
istration in all its efforts to accomplish
these ends.
Eleventh-We denounce the corrupt
and shameless domination of Senator
Mathew S. Quay, in the policy of the
state, and arraign and condemn the re-
publican party for its service acquesi-
enee in the leadership of a man who
has utterly failed to defend himself
from grave charges against his official
conduct and political record.
Twelfth- We heartily endorse the
statesmanlike and patriotic administra-
tion of Governor Pattison. We applaud
and approve his fearless vetoes of
partisan, vicious and ill considered
egislation, his recommendation of sa-
lutory laws, his rigorous investigation
and wholesome correction of public
abuse and his determination to enforce
the constitution, punish offenders and
secure public reform.
Thirteen—We sympathize with the
just demands of workingmen for all
such legislation as will protect their
interests \ and for such speedy amend-
ment of the constitution as will secure
;o them a free and see ret ballot.
Fourteen -We oppose the repeal of
the mercantile taxes and insist that
they shall be fairly and equitably laid
honorably collected and that the money
arising from them shall be paid
into the state treasury and
not stolen by its agents.
We favor the repeal of such provisions
of the law as require advertisements of
these taxes and the incurring of cost
of collection where there can be no re
covery. We faver the abolilion of the
office of mercantile appraiser and the
substitution of some certain, econom-
ical and expeditious methods of assess’
ing and collecting these taxes.
Fifteenth -We approve all legisla-
tion looking to an honest registry of
voters to the end that every qualified
voter may be secured the exercise of
his franchise, and that the lists may be
purged of all names not rightfully
thoreon. ,, . . , ,
Sixteen—We believe that the right
of a free, honest and secret ballot is
the right preservative of all political
rights. We approve the largest meas-
ure of ballot reform and believe the
whole advantages of the Australian
ballot system should be secured to the
electors of Pennsylvania; the ballot bill
The London Pre**.
London, Sept. 3. -The Standard re-
ferring to the magnificent feat of
France’s recovery from the disaster of
1870 says: As France wherein seeking
military alliance with Russia, which
she admits is the only interpretation of
the recent rapid approaehment of the
time she intends to throw away the
lesson of Sedan.
The Times says: The dispersing of
the Balkan cloud is a welcome relief
to the meeting of German and Austrian
emperors will now be merely congratu-
latory. European peace is not likely
to bo disturbed at present.

After Halmaceda.
St. Louis. Sept.. 3. -A dispatch from
the City of Mexico says: The Anglo-
American says a prominent gentleman
of this city, who is well known in the
Anglo-American colony, has received
the following dispatch in cipher:
Valpabaiso, Sept. 2.—President Bal-
maceda is aboard the Condell and ex-
pects to disembark in San Francisco.
However, if he be pushed by the in-
surgent war ships lie may land in Mex-
ico. If he does Mexico will extend all
possible courtesies.”
Here is the first definite news regard-
ing the whereabouts of Balmaceda.
The imperial torpedo boat and the
Condell have sailed north and are to be
pursued by the cruisers of the con-
gressionalist army. ^Whatever port the
fleeing president may make he will be
protected. No war ships will attempt
to capturehim within a marine league of
Mexico or the United States. Until a
new government is formed Balmaceda
is the recognized head of Caili. If Bal-
maceda lands in Mexico he will receive
the hospitality that tho constitution
grants to all political refugees. The
timely arrival of the members of the
Chilian legation here if the president
lauds, insures more hospitality. The
race of the Condell and Imperial
against the fast cruisers in the hands
of the congrossionalists will bo the
theme that will unquestionably attract
public attention for the next two weeks.
Koii’len AftlUrs.
London, Sept. 3—The North German
Gazette and other German papers,com-
menting on the Dardanelles matter,
declare that it is mainly a question of
England's interest alone, and that Ger-
many need not be dismayed at London’s
alarm, the European powers being only
secondarily concerned.__
