BALTIMORE, May, q 1914.

DALAASIOhES may II io7fs
The Democratic National Conven-
ton assembled to-day ia the Odd Eel,
lows Hall, and was organized by call
ing Mr.. Hendrick B. Wright, of Pa. to
the chair, and appointing Mr.. Wm. F.
Ritchie, of Richmond Va, Secretary.
The Rev. Mr.. Johns, of the Episcopal
Church made an appropriate prayer.
On motion, committee of twenty.six,
consisting of one from each State, was
appointed to report the number of dele
gates present from each State, and also
to ascertain and report the suffisiency
of their credentials to take seats in the
Convention. A committee was also APP
pointed to report rules and REGULATE Ons
for the government of the Convention
during its sessions, Upon the resolution
to appoint the committee to examine the
credentials, a debate ensued as to wheth.
ct it be a committee of twenty-six, or
whether there should be a committee OF
t,oenty-sir. 1t was finally decided, how
ever, that it should be joint COMMITTEES
of twenty-six.
The Convention took a recess until
four o'clock this evening, when the vari.
Gus committees appointed this morning
will make their respective reports, and
when rules for the future government of
the body will be adopted. 1t is quite
probable that the rules of the Conven.
ton of 1889, SO, aud 1910, will be ad-
opted by that now assembled,
Several very fine addresses were de-
livered by different members. A.
1t is altogether probable that the no
nation will not De made before TUESDAY
evening or Wednesday, perhaps not SO
soon as that.
At the time Of this present writing IL
is impossible to form an opinion as TO the
nominee; at least, no one who has not
had peep behind the curtain, can form
an opinion upon the subject. The d'i'
ferent delegations have held the secret
meetings, but nothing has yet been re-
yealed disclosing the course they resPec'
lively intend 20 pursue when the vote "
taken upon the question of selecting
presidential candidate. We have co"'
versed with gentlemen from every par
of the Union, and they all seem to en'e''
tain conflicting views, both as to VIM
will be the nominee, and also as TO wn'

OUR CAUSE BRIGIITENS EVERY DAY.

The confidence of the Wings appears
to be dying away. This confidence or
iginated from anticipated divisions in our
party; divisions it is now apparent that
are not to be realised. Whatever d.
versity of opinion may exist as to the
candidate to be nominated, all agree
that when the nomination is made dis
sension ends. We must defeat Henry
Clay-this sentiment is echoed by the
Democracy from Maine to Georgia, and
from the Atlantic to the Mississippi. The
Democracy will nots acrifice their princl-
Piles for men, and our opponents will lind
that the decision of the Baltimore Con-
vention will not only be acquiesced in,
but will receive the united and enthusl-
astic support of the whole Democratic
party. No true Democrat has anything
to gain by abandoning his party. or by
lukewarmness suffer his opponents to
succeed. We say then that the nominee
of the National Convention will receive
the individual support of the Democracy
and we make the assertion in all candor
believing that time will demonstrate its
truth. And we 60 farther, and predict
that the nominee of that convention will
not only be supported by the entire par
ty. but that he will be triumphantly cleo.
ted over Mr. Clay. Can any true demo
Graf doubt that such will. be the result?
Are not the principles of our party in
the ascendancy in some Is or 90 States
in the Union? indicating that a large ma
jority of the popular vote of the Union
is opposed to the policy of the Wings.
There is no man that could have been
nominated by the Wings more Unpopular
than Henry Clay. On the many occa-
slons in which his hame has been before
the people his total want of popularity
has been amply demonstrated. Where
is the enthusiasm that was witnessed IN
this city and other places shortly after
the nomination OF Harrison in 1907
1t is nowhere. The MANY vices that at
tach to Mr.. Clay's personal character,
prevent the intelligent and moral por-
ton of the Wing party from any open
manifestations in his favor. On the 9TH
err hand, the condition of the country at
this time is far different from what it was
IN 1910: and no political capital can be
made from the cry of distress .panlc. and
ruin, that was echoed by the wings in
1910. Trade and currency are in a
sound and healthy condition, without a
Bank, and this is another reason or the
lack of enthusiasm. Gen. Harrison had
fought the battles of his country, SO it is
said, which had a tendency to-increase
the enthusiasm of 1910. But Henry Clay
has only fought the battle of the duelIst;
he has never raised the warriors weapon
! in defence OF his country's liberty, but

cond will present itself to the demo-
cratic convention, who will undoubt-
eddy give true expression to the wish
es Of the democracy of the nation,
as far as they are known. Be their
decision what it may, either as TO the
test or the candidates, we pledge our
selves to abide by it,and to rally around
the democratic banner. determined to
bear it on to victory. Nor will we stop
to inquire whether it be borne by an old
soldier, or y0atng one.
We will gather to it as the banner Of
Jefferson and Jack son,of liberty and our
country; we will plant it In triumph up
on the sea coasts and our mountains;
upon our rivers and our prairles, and
then, from Texas and Oregon-per-
chance in fulness of time from Canada
and Mexlco-aUe wiN spangle ii all over
aviM stars. until it shall become, like the
clusters of the milky way, cloud Of
light. beneath which half mankind, liv
ing in peace and happiness shall admire
and rejoice.
Will not our brother democrats every
where make up their minds to receive,
in this spirit, the decisions and nomina
tons of the Baltimore conventional 1t
is the only GUARANTY Of uictorEper-
haps its ONLY HOPE.
ResolUed, That in our opinion, the
first object of every true democrat. in
the approaching presidential election,
should be the ascendency of democratic
principles in the administration of our
government.
Resolred, That the evils apprehended
on the one side from the annexation of
Texas to the United States, and the
mischiefs on the other from delay of
of that measure, sink into insignificance
when compared with the dangers which
will inevitably spring from the election Of
Henry Clay to the presidency, and en-
grating upon our constitution the prlnci.
Piles now openly avowed by the wing party.
Resofved, That, in our opinion, the
only way to prevent SO great calamity
is a cordial union of democratic party
in support of the nominees of the ap-
preaching Baltimore convention for
President and Vice President.
Reso!ued, That we deprecate all Grim
nation and recrimination, and all impu
ton of improper motives on the one side
or the other, and earnestly advise our
friends who are involved in the discus
sion of this subject to that forbearance
and charity which alone can lead to good
feeling and united action in this crisis of
our public affairs.
ResolveG, That all the democratic pa
pers in the United States be requested
to publish this address.
At an adjourned meeting of the asso-
citation. held on the evening of the 10th
May, 1914. the foregoing address, hav-
ing been read and discussed, was unan-
lmously adopted.
