me to join the Tammany society in Its
celebration ot th comina; anniversary oC
American Independence. It wx-mt to me
that present social and political condi-
tions warn all patriotic Americans that
there ia need of a revival of oopjUr
sentiment and disposition in which tha
declaration of independence had Its ortstn.
which made its foundation of a groat
nation and In which la found tha prom
ise of Hs perpetuity.
Ths Intent of that instrument was not
only to declare the equality of mn but
to decree its maintenance; And the inde-
pendence It proclaimed signified not only
our people freedom from a yovirnmint
which lacked their consent but also their
lasting freedom la political thought and
action. t
No one can be so blind as lot to see
that in these days of grasping and con-
suming madness in the pursuit of wealth
with its consequent indifference to politi-
cal duty there Is danger that uur social
and industrial equality will be destroyed
and political Independence made tha sport
of demagoguea
The celebration of Independence Pay
should above all things be 'I.rccttMt
towsxd a resistance of these teo'iucie
snd to ths promotion of a wholesome
amertcaa sentiment which demands fair
ness and equality in sharing the Heaa-
ingi of our popular government and un-
fettered independence and effectiveness
in the exercise of political rights.
Nor should it be forgotten that the fath-
ers of the republic delivered the results
of their work unreservedly to the ei-o
and management of all the people. Noth-
ing can therefore be more startling or
can Indicate a greater reliance by de-
signing hypocrisy upon popular degener-
acy than the Impudent assertion by a po-
litical organisation seeking to perpetuate
Its ascendacny that none not within Its
(old is either competent or honest enough
to be truited with governmental direc-
tion. Such arrogance si this Is In strange con-
trast that befits the profitable enjoyment
of a general celebration by our people

TAMMANY'S EFFORTS
MET SEVERAL DEFEATS
AMONG DELEGATIONS.
Pennsylvania! Action Changed
Situation Alabama Re-
futed to Switch. ...v
(Associated Press Report.)
Bt. Louis. Juljr-s. The action of Pnn-
avlvanla tonight In voting to abandon
their favorite son and support Parker al-
most entirely changed ths situation so
far as ths divided sentiment In the New
Tork delegation was concerned. Senator
Hill was led to remark that with another
small accession. Judge Parker would ba
elected on the first ballot. William F.
Sheehan. who has been th active leader
of the Parker forces and August Bel-
mont deprecate this and argued that It
would be wise to allow the other States
to have the honor of naming In conven-
tion their favorite candldatea.
fc..?.W wal w"Vf1 at the Tammany
headquarters in an entirely dlfflrent way
Leader Murphy at first refused to believe
lt.'ylnf.t''tvhe had bn assured lata
this evening that the delegation would
support former Governor Pattlson it was
only a few minutes prior to tha announce-
?ent. of Pennsylvania's vote that Bute
Benator Thomas F. Orady had declared
that Pennsylvania would vote for her fa-
vorite son and OHM. Tammany had
planned to abandon ths effort to con-
centrate the anti-Parker vote and would
devote Itself to distributing the ballots
so that Parker could not obtain two"
ballot T0' Prt0f ' 'v"ltn or elh"
In this way." said Benator Orady
we will be able to convince the conven-
tion that it had better select some other
candidate attner Cleveland McClellan or
Oray.'l
After th anouncement had been made
of Pennsylvania's decision snd they had
somewhat recovered from their surprise
they still gave it as their view that there
would be enough votes held by individual
tates not Instructed for Parker or
voting for Individual candldatea to pre-
vent Mr. Parker from obtaining a nom-
inating vote at least the first five or
six ballot. Leader Murphy himself said:
" expected Pennsylvania to have a
candidate of Its own. but we are not dis-
heartened. There are still two or three
days before the nomination and we shall
contihus to do active work against Mr.
larker. not because we dislike him per-
sonally but we know that he can not
carry New York Btate."
Bourke Cockran and some other lead-
ers of Tammany went over to the Ala-
bama delegation during the evening and
tried to induce them to concentrate their
ten anti-Parker votes. Alabama has
twenty-two votes twelve of whom are
instructed for Parker the others being
divided on several candidates.
It is understood that Mr. Cockran w.is
met by the threat by the twelve Parker
adherents that if any attempt waa made
to consolidate ths other Interests they
would adopt the unit rule and cast the
whole twenty-two votes for Parker
Still another rebuff to Tammany's plans
came from Virginia. Tammany assisted
by Henry O. Davis of West Virginia had
bean attempting to win the Virginia dele-
gation away from Parker. 8nator Mar-
tin of Virginia telegraphed Senator Hill
this afternoon that whll en route to the
convention the Virginia delegation had
voted unanimously to support barker
Practically the campaign of the w.rrlng
faction of New York cloaed for the night
Juat after the Pennsylvania decision was
announced but Tammany threatens to

Presidential Candidates.
Three names enly are mentioned In
connection with th nomination for th
presidency. William V. Allen of Nebraska
frimuel W. Williams of Indiana and
Thomas E Wauos of Oebrsjua.
Ex-Senator Allen refuses to enter into
a scramble tor ths nomination and prae-
tleally said tonight that b wculd not
socept ths honor If there was going to be
any contest over It. Hs wants tha nomi-
nation to com to him unanimously.
Watson Is In a similar state of mind re-
garding th head of tb ticket and has
written a letter to the effect that ha doe
not want t s- the standard-barr tor
ths populists this year.
Williams of Indiana la leaving nothing
undons to capture ths nomination and
his friends say tonight that If ha can not
get first place on the ticket he Is willing
to take second. It Is generally under-
stood that a large number of delegate
favor the Indiana man for vice presi-
dent. That the-future of the populist
party depends in a 'great measure upon
th action of the democratic National
convention is freely admitted and dis-
cussed by the delegates to the populist
National convention. The leaders who
srs hers believe s gold democrat Uka
Parker or Cleveland will b nominated
at St. Louis and that W. J. Bryan will
leave the party and come Into the ranks
of populism. With blra and his friends
supporting popuUstic principles the dele-
fates here think there will be more hop
or the future. On the other hand. It
Mr. Bryan and his friends should con-
trol the St. Louis convention or rofv
recognition which would be satisfactory
to the Nebraska leader many of the
leaders here say there would be little
uaa for the populist party to make a fight
this year.
"If the democrats threw Bryan down
at Bt Louis." ssld Judge Daniel Williams
of Indiana "we will be stronger than
sver snd populism will -live and gain
strength."
Outlook for Party Discouraging.
Many of the delegates believe a mis-
take was made when ths populist con-
vention was not postponed until after the
St. Louis convention. But It Is too lats
apparently now to make any changes.
That a platform will be adopted and a
ticket nominated before this convention
adjourns seems certain.
Thomas E. Watson of Georgia men-
tinned as the probable esndidste for
president is smong the absentees. Among
the most prominent men In attendance
are W. 8. Hardy of Arkansss and Colonel
Milton Park of Texas. Watson's letter
has cast considerable gloom over ths
delegates ss many fear hs Is going to
desert the party and they feel that with
former Benator Marlon Butler out Jo
A. Parker going to retire from active
work In the party and with th loss of
Watson that there is little uss to continue
the fight.
But ex-Senator William V. ADen of
N'brssks takes a brighter view of the
situation and heltoves that sooner or later
the populist party will succeed.

cratic committee met today to decfd th

for th meeting thst thr would b a

In naming th committee to decide the
contest In Illinois hs would nam men
friendly to them and opposed to Mr.
Hopkins.
Mr. Bryan roe In his seat snd made
a strong argument for the appointment of
th subcommittee by th chairman and
John P. Hopkins fought his own fight
by asking that all ths contests be heard
and decided by th committee as a whole.
On th vote the Harrison snd Hearst
factions showed th greater strength and
It was decided by a vote of 29 to M that
th chairman should nam ths subcom-
mittee. M Th Harrison and Hearst people were
Jubilant after the adjournment of th
committee saying that they had scored
a success In the first round of ths fight
and were confident that they were start-
ed In the path thst led straight to per-

John P. Hopkins on th other hand

Immediately following the adjournment
of ths National committee which will
meet again tomorrow at 10 o'clock at
which tlm th subcommittees will re-
port. Tn subcommittee which heard the evi-
dence In ths contests in the First Second
Sixth and Eighth New Jersey districts
adjourned after being in session for one
hour. It will meet sgain at I o'clock to-
morrow morning and ths members of ths
subcommittee requested both side to the
controversy to submit sddltfonal evldcncs
at the morning session. The point on
which th committee desired additional
light was the number of men who were
denied admission to ths floor or were re-
jected from the State-convention. Th
North Dakota contest flattened out and
the regular delegation was not disturbed.
A long and bitter fight was wsged be-
fore the subcommittee that heard the
contest In ths Twelfth Ohio district
where C. D. Sevier and John C. L. Pugh
two Hearst men are seeking to unseat
James Ross snd C. F. Gilliam.
It is claimed by the contestants thst
they wers not given sufficient time prior
to the State convention to certify all ot
their delegates snd were thereby deprived
Of 17 votes. The subcommittee decided
to report in favor of the conteeteea Ross
and Gillian.
In the contested case In the Tenth In-
diana district which wss referred to a

was chairman. It was decided after both
sides hsd been heard that ths case wa.

cision ot the subcommittee Is that the
Parker delegates JDanlel Sims and Mirtln
Kruger will be recommended to the Na-
tional committee by the subcommittee
the regular delegates from the Tentn
district.
Whils th platform Is not yet com-
pleted some of the promlnont men hsre
made an outline of It. It Is understood
Senator Allen will have more to say
bout ths plstform than sny other Indi-
vidual. Ths sentiment fsvors the adop-
tion of the Omaha platform of 192 with
the planka for postal savings bank and
Initiative snd referendum.
The feature of the platform to be
sdopted will be ths money question. A
demand Is to be msde that the Issuance
of notes be taken from the banks and
that the government assume ths entir
snd sbsolute cbsrgs of coining snd print-
tr g of money and that all whether gold
silver or paper shell te legal tender
for ell debts public or private.
A plank will declare for the abolition
of the slkn ownership of land and that

road and not used by them shall revert
to the government.

cvrnlng.ln thea wcida:
"Tha ttemocmU iiead 1-ava Uttl eon-
can aa to tha rtparls frotW New York
that Chaiiea P. Murphy will domino t a
any part of tha St. Louis convention hul
It is an Intereati.isa achema he hu con
roc ted to make Jul? Parker unavaiUole
by having an emremaly radical platform
sdopted. The plan include an alliance
between Murphy iu:6 Biyaa rather an
odd mixture ot element.
"The platform committee will be com-
poeedof one nwmb-ir from each Btate uud
Territory. Th Sta tea whoa repruaoata-
ttves wfli stand for a conservative plat-
form are Maine New Hampshire. Ma-va-chusetts
Vermont Connecticut New

trict of Columbia Indian Territory and
Alaska. We do not include in the enum-
eration Missouri but li that ia included
there will be at least thirty-live members
of the committee for a conservative plat-
form. 8o It la clear a conservative plat-
form la a certainty and- the trickery of
Murphy combined with the artful elo-
quence of his alliea can not change tha
situation.
"The intimation that Colonel Ouffey
and Senator Gormia have Joined with
Murphy and Mr. Bryan to bring about of
any means available the defeat of Judge
Tarker is Idle nonsense. The Pennsyl-
vania delegation may cast a compli-
mentary vote for Robert E. Paulson.
Juat aa Wisconsin will for Wall. Ohlq for
Harmon Maryland for Gorman Massa-
chusetts for Olney and Delaware for
Gray. Such la to be expected but it
will not be In the least surprising should
pearly c)l th?se (states vote for Parker
on the first ballot. One thing Is cer-
tain any e.id jnco of a combination oe-
tween Murphy and other lrrecoiiuilLls
to t-bstruct tre wishes and purpose of
the democratic party will imp-! the dele-
gates from favorite son Btates to come
to Judge Parker's support without delay.
"Mr. Murphy's importance ni this ram-
paign has bean greatly exaggerated.
V hatcver may be Ms attitude toward
Judge Parker Tammany has got to sun-
iort the ticket. The democracy of New
York will promptl punHh any party
treachery at the nands of Tammany and
this Mr. Murphy knows. Moreover In
view of Murphy's ptesent attitude the
country will watch Tamm&ny aa It
watched in 1892 after Tammany made
the play against Cleveland In Chicago.
The result was that New York City gave
the greatest democratic majority a presi-
dential candidate ever received there.
Such will be the (see this year."
