REPUBLIC WEDNESDAY EVENING May 1888
STRONG ENDORSEMENT
Of President Clsveland's Course at the
Democratic Convsntion Of wisconsin

MADISON, Wis, May 2.-The Democratic
State convention to elect four delegates at
large to the ST. Louis convention and a sue
cessor to Colonel Villas on the State Central
Committee was called to order by Chairman
Usher, Of the State Central Committee at
1912 D. m. j. E. Dodge, of Racine, was
elected temporary chairman After the
different committees had been appointed
the convention adjourned to 2 O'Clock.
On Resembling, Joseph NJ. Morrow, of
Sparta, was elected permanent chairman
The Committee on Resolutions reported
the following platform: The Democrats of
Wisconsin in convention assembled heart
ily and fully endorse the wise, conserva-
tive and patriotic course OF Grover Cleve-
land as President of the United States;
we take pride In the manly courage with
which he has faced the hosts of practiced
monopoly and ad vocsted the reduction of
war tariff taxes, now retained only upon
the every day necessities of the farmer the
artisan, and the laborer. having long since
been removed from the incomes, the bank
capital and the bank checks of the rich.
We denounce . system of tariff taxes that
while it creates q dangerous annual surplus
in the National Treasury OF Sl55, 900 900 Al;
the same time indirectly Ia xes the producers
of the West for the sole benefit of protected
~ iVt every % tiihl goes
into the Treasury. We therefore declare:
That the burden of taxation should rest
upon those who Use Injuries. rather than
upon those who use only necessities Of life.
That taxation should be limited to the re-
ouirements of the Government That a
greater tax is robbery under a form of law
We therefore demand that taxation be
limited to the needs of Government,
economically administered and be levied
upon the luIuries rather than upon the
necessaries Of life and that Ia xation be re-
duced in strict conformity to the principles
laid down by President Cleveland in his
message to the Fiitieth Congress.
The platform as reported by the Commit
tee on Resolutions was adopted unanimol is
ly by the convention, when balioting for
delegates-at-large to the National convcn-
ton was begun.

Woodward. OF Lacrosse, chairman: Z.

RENovo, Pa, May The mountains
surrounding this town have been burning
for three or four days and last night with
the wind blowing twenty miles an hour,
the fires on the neighboring mountains
were being scattered to every part. The
sight presented grand beyond description,
but thousands of dollars worth of timber i,
being destroyed. The mountains in this
neighborbood are over 300 feet high, and q,
the fire extends from the base 10 the top,
the whole country is illuminated. There Is
no present danger of the flames reaching
the town, but all OF the neighboring lumber
yards are being carefully watched. At
Kane, yesterday, the flames from the noun
tains reached three oil tanks, and they
with their contents were destroyed. Unless
o heavy rain storm interyenes, it is thought
that the fires will reach more valuable tim.

A GREAT MONOPOLY.
SENSATIONAL TESTIMONY BEFORE
THE HOUSE COMMITTEE.
Witaesses Tell How oil Firms are Dis
Companies-The standard Oil Com
paay's Hold on the BuraIo City Govern
ment-Otber Important Facts Elected.

WASHINGTON. May 2.-IIarlOw DOws of
Memphis, testified before the House Manu-
features Committee yesterday that he was
. dealer in oil for persons in opposition TO
the Standard Company. He stated that he
was forced to pay the Chesapeake, Ohio and
Southwestern railroad first class rates on
every barrel of oil shipped in. .lessithan car
load lots. The Standard Company were
charged only fourth class rates. Witness
complained of this to the road, but received
no redress. There had been scarcely any
change since the passage of the Inter State
Commerce law. Three roads-the Illinois
Central, Louisville and Nashville, and the
Chesapeake, Ohio and Southwestern still
practiced discrimination against opponents
of Standard Oil.
c. b. Mathews, of Buffalo, said he was in
opposition to the standard. His refinery
had made about =, 900 barrels per week and
went on to show how the business had been
ruined by the methods of the standard.
Witness said he had been a party to the
criminal prosecution of MeSSrS Archibald,
Rogers, McGregor and the Everest Brothers.
five officers OF the Standard Oil Co., for con
spring to destroy the business of witnesses
company, by bribing an employe to blow
blow up stills etc. The Everest Bros had been
convicted year ago and were now awaiting
sentence. Witness said that the Standard
Co., were interested in the Colgate Soap Co.
and the Cheesebrough Co., the manufact-
urers of vaseline. His company had tried
to get the franchise for supplying natural
gas in Buffalo. 1t was secured by the
Standare, who had a great influence with
the city officers. He was told that his COM
pany would have to pay 10000 for the
franchise. The Buffalo authorities were
under a monetery influence
Malcolm LlOyd of Philadelphia who last
week testified that he had received rebates
on oil shipments from the Philadel phia
Railroad was recalled and said he would
ask to be excused from giving the amounts
of rebates; that he considered this purely
private, and the information might infu-
ence certain suits which understood were
to be brought against the railroad COM
pany by otner parties. On being pressed
by Mr.. Gowen. he said he would decline to
give the information unless forced by the
committee.
L. Dickey, of the Western & Atlantic
Road, running between Chattanooga and
Atlanta, was put on the witness stand and
stated that his road had given Mr. Rice
rate of $S5 per car on barrelled oil from
Chattanooga TO Atlanta, as a part of
through rate, but that under an agreement
with other lines he was obliged to return To
the regular published agreed rates of $50
per car. At that time the Standard Oil
Company got rate of $3.50 per car on
tank cars, but that was on actual through
shipments from Cincinnati TO Atlanta, on
which the road simply got its share of
through rates.

Anarchists After the Pardon Of F1clden,
Schwnb and Neebe

CHICAGO, May "A local paper says: A
petition to Governor Oglesby TO pardon the
anarchists Fielden, Neebe and Schwsb has
been circulating for days among the social
lists. anarchists, and radical labor societies
of this city 1t is said to have received
thousands of signatures 1t is intended to
submit it 10 mass meeting of working
men for ratification. The text of this
petition is almost word for word the same
which was circulated few days before the
execution of Spies, Fischer, Parsons and
Engel. The thing has been very quietly
engineered, and nobody has been ap-
preached with the document not believed
to be thoroughly in accord with the radi-
cal principles, as it was feared that the
premature publication of the facts might
somehow iniure the cause.
