COnvensiOa.
WORCESTER, Sept. 1.-THE But
Ter Democratic State Convention
was called to order by Alonzo V.
Lynde, Chairman of the State Cen
trail Committee, and John X. Tar
box was chosen Chairman. Tarbox
was received with rounds of APP
plause and cheers, and is his speech,
said: The responsibility for the
Democratic division is not upon us.
Before our committee issued the
call under which we assembled,
they requested the Faneull Hall
Committee to restore party unity
by joining a union call for Con-
vention in which all Democrats
of the State should have equal
and just representation. This
proposal, made courteously and in
good faith, met with refusal and
indignity. For their refusal to
submit to the authority of Demo-
cratic constituent body, we de-
nounce Faneuil Hall managers as
tactious and disloyal, and foes to
the party welfare. We did not in
vite controversy. We sought to
avoid it. Our self-respect now
compels US to meet it. To our
brethren throughout the State and
country at large We affirm our adj
hesion to the organization and the
flag of the National Democratic
Party. We falter at no word or
syllable of its creed as the
great teachers of Democracy ex-
pounded it and the recent ma
tional councils of the party have
applied it to public questions. We
stand by the Jeffersonion doctrine
of u sovereign union of sovereign
States, absolute National suprem-
acy over all subjects within the
constitutional prerogative of the
Federal Government and State
. supremacy absolute over all other
objects of legitimate government
al cognizance. We Insist that
State rights does not antagonize
or weaken the just authority, dig
nifty or needful vigor of the nation,
but sustains and supplements the
doctrine of local sovereignty as
maintained by the Democratic
party.

NEW YORK, Sept. 17.-Among
the passengers on the steamer Wy.
oming yesterday from Liverpool
were 335 Mormon converts. They
were about one-half Scandinavians
and the balance were natives OF
England and Wales. They con-
sisted of families with large NUNS
Der of children, and were very
good looking class Of immigrants.
The party were in charge of Apos-
tie Flygare, who was accompanied
by seventeen Elders of the Mormon
Church, sixteen of whom were re
turning missionaries. All these dig
nitaries came in the cabin, while the
poor converts had to be satisfied
with steerage accommodations
They state that another batch OF
Mormons will arrive in October.
Last night they left for Utah. In
answer to q question as to what
they thought of Evarts's letter to
foreign governments, requesting
the latter to prevent Mormon emf
grafton to this country, the Elders
laughed, and said that when it wa
received in Europe it was consid
cred a canard. They contendec
that it would be impossible to stol
Mormon immigration to this coun
try on the ground that the immi
grant might break the law, They
said that polygamy was no
preached by them but that 1t wa
allowable, and they claimed 1t was
no crime. According to thei
statement, the revelation abou
polygamy occurred in 1913, and i
was not until 1852 that this gov
eminent passed laws against 1t, al
though no attempts have beef
made to enforce the same. /
conclusion, the Elders contende
that the conviction of George Rey
no,ds was under Territorial stal
ute, and that it could only hsv
been effected BY the connivance {
mem beers OF his own family.
