A resolution was adopted providing that o

but neither Of the gentlemen would respond.
Then there was an exciting time. Order
was lost, the business being completed, and
chaos was begun. After ten minutes OF
Confusion order was restored and resolu-
tion passed congratulating the Democratic
party on the reelection Of William II. Bar
mum as chairman of the National Commit

timore and the press, and then the cries be-
gan for Fellows, but all to no purpose.
A Kentucky delegate mounted his seat

last night with great mass meeting at the
Academy of Music. The meeting held In
the theater auditorium was presided over by
Governor jackson, and addresses were
made by Governor Lee, of Virginia; Hon.
John r. Fellows, of New York; Congress-
man Breckenridge, of Kentucky, and Sena-

Governor Lee was received with great APP
plause. In the course Of his speech he made
reference to the charge made against him
two years ago that he rode in treason
stained saddle. The Governor said that he
had not used the saddle particularized, but
that oven II he had 1t would have been an
honor, for there was not spot of treason
on the saddle owned and used during the
war by General Robert E. Lee. The mention
Of this name was the signal for an outburst
of applause that shook the very walls Of the

Mr.. Fellows paid high tribute to Cleve-
land and said that even his worst enemy
could not deny his integrity. He then pro-

the principal purpose Of getting money
into the pockets Of protected monop-
olists, with Government revenue as q
subordinate incident in GASES where IL
Is not wholly shut of by the enormity
Of tax.
That this is a correct statement OF
the position in which the platform puts
the party appears both from the direct
aff1rrnations OF that document, and
from what 1t denounces. 1t afflrms in
30 many words that all the internal
taxes should go before "any part Of
our protective system should be SUR
rendered. 1t affirms the same thing in
directly when 1t denounces the tariff
policy Of the Administration, which
simply aims at n reduction OF the more
nonstrous of the war tariff taxes. 1t
afflrms the same thing once more d.
rectly when 1t says that the revenues
should be reduced by changing the
tariff (by increasing 1t, Of course) SO
as to check imports of articles the like
OF which are produced here, as we'll as
by abolishing the tariff on all other
articles. Hit
Such shameless declaration that all
National taxation should be for the ag-
grandizement and enrichment Of
favored industries, with revenue as q
mere incident, or accident, or as some
thing to be shut off entirely by the tax,
has never before been put forth by any
political party in this country. The
Republican party would not have the
brazen audacity to put it forth to-day
If its bosses did not believe that the
masses were already degraded to the
position OF obedient voting cattle to be
driven or decoyed by the factory lords
to the polls as to slaughter pen,
armed with the weapons of their own
destruction.
1t is among the possibilities that the
party bosses and the factory lords will
wake up one fine morning in Novem-
ber and find that the people Of Amer
lea are still Of opinion that it is the
business of Congress to lay taxes to get
revenue, and not to enrich few of the
people at the expense Of the many. It
is among the probabilities If the
American people are as intelligent and
independent as they flatter themselves
they are Chicago Globe. =

A SAD AFFAIR.

A Family Party Go for q boat Ride and
Father, Son and Daughter are Drowned.
ST. PAUL, Mimi, July Gone of the sad
dest cases of drowning that has been re-
corded in this locality for number of years
occurred ut Lake Johanna Thursday after
noon. This lake is situated about six miles
from st. Paul, and Is often visited by nu-
merous pleasure parties who desire to spend
quiet day and enjoy the fishing and row.
ing. Harry G. Tucker, clerk Of the Ryan
Hotel, accompanief by his wife and his
father and sister, went out to the lake after
dinner to spend the afternoon and evening.
Mr.. fuckers father and his sister, Mrs.
Deisinger, are residents Of Amsterdam, N.
Y, and came to st. Paul only short time
ago on visit to their relatives. =
It was decided to go for boat ride and
Mrs Tucker being rather timid, preferred
to remain on the bank and watch the party.
Mr.. Tucker took the oars, and accompanied
only by his father and sister started out over
the lake. They had reached point about
quarter Of mile from the shore when, from
some cause at present unknown, the boat
capsized and the three occupants were pre-.
cipitated into the lake. Mrs. Tucker screamed
for help, but long before any one could 20
to the rescue all three Of the former occu-
pants Of the boat were lost sight Of and
drowned in sight of the distracted wife on
the shore.
Harry Tucker made a desperate effort to
save his sister, As soon as he could reach
her after coming to the surface he started
to swim ashore, but soon became exhausted
and the two sank together and were seen no
more The old gentleman was seen to be
swimming shoreward, but he disappeared
from view soon after his son and daughter
sank to the bottom, It is said that Harry
could have easily saved himself, but he ex-
hausted his strength in his efforts to rescue
his sister, and being man Of nearly two
hundred pounds in weight he could not
keep afioat Harry Tucker was one Of the
principal clerks of tho Hotel Ryan and was
respected by all who knew him. His father
was an old resident Of Amsterdam. NY

Tho Most Shameless Declaration EN-

Tho Most Shameless Declaration EN-
bodied In the Republican Platform.
The Republican party has thrown off
its thin guise, and boldly proclaimed
itself to be, what its acts long ago
proved it to be, the party of the Glasses
as opposed to the masses. Its habit of
assembling and falsifying is still dom
inant, and manifests itself in nearly
every line of its long confession OF
faith and covenant OF works, but there
can be no mistaking its attitude on the
question Of the spoliation tariff.
Though 1t grossly and wilfully mis-
represents the position of the Dem
ocratic party, its own position Is de-
fined so distinctly that it can not pos.
sibly be misunderstood. 3It
That position is, in brief, that the
tariff for spoliation must be maintained
and made still higher at whatever cost.
The tobacco tax must 60 first, next the
tax on spirits not used as beverages,
and finally the taxes on all liquors
used for getting drunk, II that is nee
essary to save the sacred taxes laid on
the necessaries OF life for the purpose
Of enriching the few at the expense Of
the many; and these sacred taxes must
be raised higher and higher, TO tho ex-
tent necessary to shut of revenue not
needed by shutting out imports
1.-THE position Is that not one solitary
tax for the enrichment OF the classes
out OF the earnings Of the masses shall
be reduced by SO much as II mill In the
dollar, but that all the revenue taxes
all the taxes on tobacco, on beer, on
whisky and on imported goods the like
OF which are not produced In this coun-
try-~shall go, In order that the sacred
monopoly taxes may stand forever.
That Is to say, the position is that hence
forth and forever no tax shall be laid by
Congress for the purpose of getting
money to pay the expenses OF the Gov

Extracts from Hon. G. r. Breckinridge's
New York Reform Speech.
Gentlemen, our path is plain, our
duty is clear. Let us press for fair,
equal and constitutional taxation. Let
US cut loose from trusts and monop-
oily and come back at least to the old
claim of protection. Let US come back
to the landmarks of peace. The pres.
ent practice and purposes are contrary
to the letter and the spirit of our Or
ganic law. Let us come back in this,
as in all things, to the constitution,
the sheet anchor of our hope, the mum
iment of our liberties, the warrant and
the limitations of our powers. The
people will not find prosperity, hap
piness and honor in the line of class
legislation. Capital will not find sta
bility there. Men with good purposes
can not advocate it. The present con.
tention of these people is communism,
gentlemen, in its worst form; and these
people had as well be teaching the
toiling masses the use of dynamite as
to tell them that class legislation is
right, and then also continue to make
1t cheat, and u fraud, and an engine
of oppression. as they are doing now.
But, gentlemen, the arrogant, grasp
ing and vulgar rich will not control
this country, and neither will the
mob. There is too much wealth, asso-
ciated with thought, culture and true
conservatism for extremists to sue.
ceed. This class is always in close
sympathy with the honest masses Of
the people. They know that liberty.
brotherhood, commerce, exchange and
prosperity all go hand in hand. II
oppression and restriction upon trade
were truly profitable, man would never
be free and nations would be consigned
to endless rivalries and strife. But
Gods law is intercourse, prosperity
and peace. Low taxes, economy, lib
erty, freedom, equality, justice, fair
play and prosperity go hand in hand.
The contest then is not between the
rich and the poor, but it is between the
selfish rich and the ignorant poor
upon the one hand, and the great body
of our people, rich and poor, who be.
lieye in equality and justice, upon the
other hand. .....,.. t.....t. (.
1t is between monopoly and pros
perity. Organizations are springing
up all over the country in support Of
this cause; clubs like this great club OF
magic growth, able, patriotic and opu-
lent; clubs in my own State, composed
of men young and old, jealous and
with you heart and soul; clubs every
where contending for equal laws among
a noble people who fear no nation in
any field or form; who believe in God,
liberty and peace, who ask no privil.
eyes among themselves, and who will
spurn tho hand that offers them. Let
US, then, plant ourselves upon the bed
rock of human rights Let us proclaim
its harmony with prosperity, increased
wages and happiness. Common sense
is with us. The constitution and the
Declaration Of Independence are with
us. God Himself is with us. Then
lot us boldly unfurl our banner to the
breeze and go forth among the people
and ceaselessly expound the everlast-
ing emblems upon its field.
