 A motion was passed that if any of the delegates to the national convention was una- ble to attend the convention he should select a substitute from the district or county wherein said delegate resided

The gallery and rear of the room were filled with large number of interested spectators. The stage back of the chairman and secretaries was flied with newspaper men hard at work noting the de- tails of the convention, eagerly watching for something new to turn up on the political horizon. call from the floor brought MT. James Gallagher to the platform. The Democracy of to-day, said he, is the same as when Thomas Jefferson was the can- didate. The Democratic party is the party of the people. The sovereign power of the people should govern and not the few. He then spoke on the tariff question, which he discussed at some length. He argued to show that high protective tariff was to the great disadvantage of the working classes. From this he launched into an address of a somewhat free trade tenor, but the sentiment of the convention was evidently not in sym pathy with the extent to which the speaker expressed himself. The scheme of protection, he continued, is fal1aey,a cheat and swim de and the grossest outrage of modern times upon the working classes of this country.

Judge Pickett's Esympathy.

Peter Mcfarland of West street, plumber employed by Curtiss 6r Pierpont, was held in the police court yesterday morning to answer to the charge of non-support of his wife.
 She did not want him punished if the court would make him pay her $6 week towards the support of his six children. Mcfarland said he was willing to support four of the children, but not the other two, as they were loafers who did not work. Judge Pickett said he had great sympathy for fathers with such sons and he would continue the case for one month on McFarland's own bond, and give him chance to take care of his family.

SENATOR FRYES SPEECH.

The American case against Canada, ADAM
doned by the Democratic Administration mas
been eloquently presented by Senator Frye
Instead Of twisting the lions tail, az the Presi-
dents sycophants in the Senate had predicted
that he would do, he opened his speech with
an impressive tribute to England as Power
that never neglects the duty of protecting the
interests of its humblest and most helpless
subjects in any quarter Of the earth. me
consistency with which that policy was followed
by successive Administrations in London, he
eontendsd, ought to put to shame Americans
who are Indifferent to the commercial rights
Of the Yankee fishermen and the indignities
and wrongs which they have suffered in Can
adam ports This Is q method of reasoning
which ought to be more frequently employed.
There is an Anglo-American school OF poltlcai
thought in the United States which is eager TO
nattern after English ideas and to accommodate
the country to the old-world requirements OF
free-trade and cheap labor. 1t favors Civil
Service reform on account OF the Engnsh
patcnts originally taken out for the system. IL
advocates free trade as the consummate flower
Of English economic wisdom. 10 does MOI dis
Germ the great forces of English policy which
hayo been instrumental in extending the En-
pire to tho ends OF the earth. One OF these
forces is the development OF the commercial
marine with Government aid as a means OF
charging British trade, and another is sys-
tematic protection of English rights wherever
assailed or questioned. These are admirable
features of British policy which Americans
would do well to initiate.
If Secretary Bayard in defending the rights
of Americans, had been eager to be as
English as tho English themselves are in pro-
teoting the interests Of their subjects, he would
never have negotiated the Treaty which Sen
ator FRYE properly characterized as the most
disgracefu hunhliating and cawardly sur
render the Republic has ever made in its whole
historyn He was ignorant ut the outset ana
was easily duped by Sir Lionel West; but bis
dispatches subsequently disclosed familiarity
with the American case. No sooner had he
learned what the American case was than he
abandoned il in the most uncompromslng
manner. lie was In full sympathy with English
economic ideas and Canadian aspirations for
commercial union, and speedily dismissed the
American case as an episode m the general
tariff controversy-a contemplate quarrel over
the duty on fish. The English Government
never abandons It's colonists when their COM
mercia interests are at stake. 1t protects
them, makes their interests its own and devotes
all the energies and the finesse of its diplomacy
to their service. Secretary Bayard was not
equally patriotic. lie made an AFFECT surrender
of the American case and at the same time
allowed his astute British colleagues to 1atter
him with the soft impeachment of being very
sagacous and even obstinate diplomatiSt.
