ALBANY, N. Y, Sept. 27.-Labor Com
missioner Peck appeared in court today,
and said he should not be called on to
allow an examination of the tariff eta
tistics received from New York manu-
facturers, because they were given in
confidence, and the facts were obtain
able in no other, way. His report on
labor and wages was based on these.
The returns were his own property, not
that of the state. The same methods
prevailed in other states.
The case went over to October 1st, and
Peck claims first blood.
Commissioner Peck's affidavit says, in
part, that the practice pursued by him
in 1890 and 1891 was no departure from
his uniform course of prior years. DE
found in the law creating his Office a
provision authorizing him to examine
witnesses, but with the condition that
no witness shall, against his will, be
compelled to answer any questions
respecting his private affairs. This re-
striction rendered it practically impossi-
BILE to give effect to the intent of the
legislature, unless the confidence of the
people of the state was secured and re-
tanned and their private affairs volun-
tarily disclosed. Repeated refusals
came to him from business men, and
besides the circulars sent out each year,
he wrote thousands of letters, giving
personal assurance that no use would
be made of their confidence, and that

sacred. By such legitimate means and
discharge the responsible duties of his
data annually transmitted. I'm ~ states
bureaus, it has been found necessary to
give to all persons the pledge of security
and confidence given by him during the
several years of his Official life."
The summary issued by him in 1892,
and about which these proceedings have
arisen, was issued and published at the
state reports.
The attempt made to establish the
theory that his report was given out to
influence the pending elections was
false, as the compilations were all made
before any Democratic nomination was
made, and the data obtained before any
one could tell who the nominees of any
party would be.
The commissioner says he is further
advised by his counsel that, under the
decision of kindred cases, injunctione
would lie against him if he attempted in
any way to make public matter he had
guaranteed should be held secret and
confidential,

BosToN, Sept. 27.-The Democratic
state convention met today. Hon. Jo-
siah Quincy, chairman Of the state COM
mittee, called the convention to order,
and was made temporary chairman. In
accepting the position, he made q
speech, in which he said the Democracy
was sure to carry New York and the
country, and said the force bill argument
was working favorably in the south.
These words. he said, he brought from
national headquarters.
Hon. Charles T. Russell was chosen
permanent chairman. On taking the
chair he dwelt at length on the state
bank plank in the national Democratic
platform, reciprocity, and the force bill
The platform endorses the tariff
plank of the national platform; de-
mands raw. material free of duty, espe-
ciaily wool, coal, iron, lumber, drugs,
dyes and manufacturing chemicals; de-
clares that the necessity of raising large
revenue by the tariff will prevent such
q reduction therein as to disturb busi-
ness; expresses fear that Republican
success means the enactment of force
bill; denounces the Republican party as
fosterer of trusts, giver of lands to
railroads, and dispenser Of undemo-
cratic bounties and subsidies; demands
the repeal Of the silver act Of 1890 as
likely to derange and debase the curren-
cy, and advocates the removal Of the
national tax on the circulation Of state
banks.

MARsHFIELD, Ore., Sept. 27.-After 10
days of suffering from cold and hunger
and the probability of filling watery
grave, Captain O'Brien and his watch
man, William Holmes, were rescued
from the whaleback steamer Wetmore
this afternoon, by Captain Bergman
and the Umpqua life-saving crew. A
week after the crew had been taken off
the wreck, Captain O'Brien and his
watchman went aboard the vessel dur
ing a calm to prevent parties from
boarding her and claiming salvage. A
storm came on, and for the last 10 days
all the efforts of the liie-saving crew to
rescue the Hhipwrecked men were futile,
and it seemed certain that they must
perish. The sea was not running 30
high today as yesterday, yet it was a
hard struggle for the rescuers to reach
the vessel. After several hours work
they put a line aboard, which O'Brien
and Holmes tied about their waists, and
then jumped into the sea. The life crew
pulled them safely to shore.
The men were almost worn out from
starvation and exposure. For the last
five days they lived upon a scant meal
day, and this morning they divided their
last biscuit. Their suffering from cold
was terrible, and for two days they have
atood in water up to their waists, with
the spray dashing over their bodies.
The wharf at Empire was crowded to-
day when the men came ashore, and the
greatest interest in caring for their wants
was taken by the citizens OF that place.
The weatherside Of the Wetmorsae
main cabin is stove in, and the vessel
will undoubtedly prove total loss.

our declaration of last year in favor
the repeal Of the dangerous Republican
silver act of 1890, and again denounce
this measure as q menace TO the main
tenance of sound and stable currency,
threatening to derapge values, impair
the obligations of contracts and bring
the currency of the country to purely
silver basis.
"We congratulate our Democratic rep
resentatives in congress upon their val
liable services in the support of the
cause of sound money. The circulating
notes, features of the national banking
system, have, by common admission,
become imperative, and we now have in
our financial system no banking expedi-
ents for the issue or withdrawal of credit
notes, according to the necessities of
trade.
We advocate the removal of the national
tax upon such circulating notes of state
banks as are so secured that their re-
demption in lawful money will always
be assured"
Governor Russell was unanimously re-
nominated.
James B. Carroll was nominated for
