the existing conditions.

a Platform Adopted by the State
Convention at Seattle.
OLYMPIA, WASH, Aug 25.-WheD the
democratic state convention reassembled
last night, the report of the committee on
resolutions was read. The platform in
dorses the national platform and the nomi-
nees Of the Chicago convention; pledges
reform in the existing tariff laws; opposes
the federal election law; favors free
and unlimited coinage of American
silver and liberal appropriations for coast
improvement as shall be of benefit to the
state, but condemns any extravsgant ex-
penditure Of the public money having for
its purpose the advancemenb OF private
enterprise. The election Of President, Vice
President and United States senators by
direct vote of the people is favored. After
a hard fight over the minority report to the

BIDWELL's ACCEPTANCE.
The Prohibition Candidate for Presi-
dent Airs His Platform.

INDIANAPOLIS, IND. Aug. 25.-The letter
OF acceptance Of John Bidwell Of Calitor-
MIA. candidate for President on the prohibi-
ton ticket. has been given to the Indiana
PhGlanU for publication. The letter, of
course, first denourc cei the LIQUOR traffic as a
curse and unmitigated and meaSureless evil.
Womau's right TO the ballot is next
affirmed.
On the subject of finance the letter saws:
"The financial question in our platform is
briefly and fairly stated and broad enough
to satisfy all reasonable men in these words:
The money Of the country should consist of
gold silver and paper. Also that 1t be
issued by the government only 1t should,
OF course, be In sufficient quantity to meet
all demands and the volume be SO increased
and adjusted as it will at all times respond
to the conditions Of the country.
The legal rate or interest on
money should be made low and reasonable
for the benefit of all classes, occupations
and industries, and be uniform In all the
states. No man ought to be compelled to
pay exorbitant interest because he is poor.
II hi security is doubtful. exacting from
him high interest will not increase his
ability to pay. As q matter Of equity all
who honestly and promptly pay should
have the benefit OF the legal low rate of
interest. II combinations may be formed
TO accumulate and hoard the money and
wealth OF the country they will soon have
ii in their power to stop the wheels of
progress and to exercise dangerous control
over legislatures, courts and congresses if
not virtually TO dictate all the affairs of the
nation.
"Labor-In order to relieve the labor of
the country of its abnormal and often con-
gested conditions there should be the ear
liest possible revision and restriction of the
immigrant and naturalization laws of the
United States. These laws, 80 inimical to
American labor and the best interests of
all, II not purposely so enacted, have doubt
lessly been kept in force for partisan con-
sideration till our country has become
almost daily the scene of riots, lawlessness
and bloodshed, and nos infrequently on
such scales as to portend, If permitted TO go
unchecked, possible subversion VI all au-
thorityn
''Tarif-We must concede that all ma
tions have a right to levy tariffs. As
Americans we are in favor Of protecting all
American interests. The tariff proposed
by the Democratic party and that Of the
republicans differ only in degree. Both are
sufficiently high to be termed protective.
To the objection that tariffs bear unequally
that is, under them the rich pay compare
lively nothing and the masses nearly all
the revenue so derived to support the
national government-must be added the
further objection that they are binding and
deceiving."
In conclusion the letter says the impor-
tant question of the hour is: How can this
republic be tided over all the dangers that
threaten, and be preserved to bless the
world. A far-seeing patriot makes answer:
Danish alcohol and make the nation sober
Make the people intelligent, moral and law
abiding"

Harrison Must Dance to His Tune if
He Wants His Aid.
WASHINGTON, Aug. Ex-senator Quay's
announcement before leaving for Florida
that he is not sulking, but is supporting the
republican ticket, is said to be the result Of
promises by Chairman Carter Of the ma
tlonal committee that the administration
should make no further opposition to Sena-
tor Quay's reelection to the Senate, and
should discourage the opposition of Chris
Magee and Representative Dalzell even TO
the extent OF neutralizing the efforts Of
these men, who got Harrison the 10 votes
in the Pennsylvania delegation which did
80 much to renominate him at Minneapolis.
Chairman Carter even promised, 1t
is said, that George w. Miller, whose
nomination to succeed Senator Quay's
friend Warmoastle as internal revenue
collector at Pittsburg, Senator Quay suc~
ceeded in hanging up for six months till the
Senate adjourned, should not be appointed
to the place ad interim, as Boss Magee and
Representative Dalzell have been demand
ing, because he has opposed Senator Qusy's
reelection. Senator Quay will do nothing
for the ticket, however, until President
Harrison ratl1es and confirms Chairman
Carters promises He will not return from
Florida until he hears from the President.
So far his statements In support of Harri-
son and Reid have been as perfunctory as
Boss Platt's or eX-Speaker Reeds.

NEWCASTLE, Aug. 25.-The climax Of the
bitterest and most raueorous election con-
test on record ended to-day with a compar-
atively uneventful polling day. There was
an enormous display Of rival colors, which
appeared to rather favor Mr.. Morley, the
liberal cabinet member. who Is contesting
the seat to Mr. Kaln. Both men we're
cordially received. AS the fday ad-
vsnced Mr.. Morley's friends became
more confident Of success. The
exertions of the commoners Wilson
and Davitt, il is believed, induced many
S-hour men to vote for Mr.. Morley. The
poll was Unexpectedly heavy, 24,o5l votes
being cast, against "a, $50 recorded in the
general election. There was plenty OF noise
and excitement. Mr.. Morley, who passed
Elswick works while the mon were leaving,
and who was cheered enthusiastically, ad-
vised the men to poll quickly, and said that
il the workmen did their duty their op-
ponents would receive a lesson they would
not forget. The result OF the poll will be
declared tomorrow.

PARIS, Aug 25.-The presidential cam
paign IN the United States Is being watched
here with more than ordinary interest,
mainly on account of the economic issues
involved. The Associated Press corre-
spoudent has asked the foreign editors of
several OF the leading Paris dailies their
views on the subject.
NJ. Guilaine of the Temps said: "Ex-
President Cleveland's last administration
was so good and honorable that we sim
cerely hope that he may be favored in the
coming contest. His tendency toward free
trade and a liberal foreign policy, both polit-
ical and commercial, has won him many
friends in France"
The foreign editor of the GduLois said i
1--WE don't care who is elected, whether it
Is Mr.. Cleveland or Mr.. Harrison. We once
thought Lord Salisbury would be a better
friend to France than Mr.. Gladstone, but
we have come to the conclusion that they
both are our enemies Mr.. Cleveland and
Mr., Harrison in America, Mr.. Gladstone
and Lord Salisbury In England, what they
want Is to get as much out Of us as they can,
that's ALL"
Vicomte de Constautiu of the Oil Bias
said; LAS Mr.. Cleveland showed himself
TO be more liberal man than his rival, my
sympathy is for the Democratic party.
The American protection system has done
much to harm Europe"
Nj. Ricon of the Soir said: 'Tne mere
fact that Mr.. Cleveland Is the candidate Of
the party which favors free commercial in-
tercourse wins for him much sympathy.
President Harrison's decided protection
ideas have made him many enemies in
Europe. so we naturally hope Mr. Cleve-
land will come in at the head Of the polls. ="
The foreign editor of the Petit Journal
replied: Viewed politically France does
not take sides in the present campaign in
the United States, but when looked at from
trade standpoint, French commercial
circles naturally side with Mr.. Cleveland" :"

SARATOGA, Aug. 25.-The American Bar
Association reconvened this morning and
listened to the annual address, which was
delivered by John Randolph Tucker Of Vir-
ginia.
The reports of the committees were then
received, the most important Of which was
that Of the committee on international law
which, two years ago, was directed 10 re-
port whether any Legislation in the
interest OF aliens is desirable to
give them protection from outbreaks
like the New Orleans affair. The commit
tee conclude that the proposed legislation is
not necessary or desirable aud believe that
TO say the least, there are grave dou BITS OF its
constitutionality and that in operation it
would prove uncertain and impracticable.
1t recommends the passage of the following
resolution:
RESOLVED That in the opinion of this associa
tion, it Is unnecessary and inexpedeut that
there should be any legislation by congress to
give to the federal courts Jurisdiction OF crimes
against the persons and property of aliens in
any case in which such jurisdiction does not ex-

WASHINGTON, Aug. 25.-Secretary El-

is naturally even more anxious than Scores
tary Foster to have the force bill considered
chestnut" He insists that in spite OF
the approval Of it in the Minneapolis plat
form it is dead issue He has been telling
the people Of West Virginia that the repub-
licans Of that state are ss much opposed to
a force bill as the democrats, and that
President Harrison would no more crowd it
on them, If elected, than would ex-Presi-
dent Cleveland, If he should succeed Presi-
dent Harrison. The nervous anxiety Of
Secretaries Elkins and Foster, the
two politicians of the cabinst, to
get away from the force bill issue
furnishes the ground ON which President
Harrison is expected TO stultify himself on
this question in mis- letter Of acceptance.
Stubborn as he is, the President is expected
by Secretaries Elkins and Foster and the
other republican managers, including
Chairman Carter. to yield to the advice
they have all given him to save himself
and the party by throwing his pet project
overheard, or at all events 30 treating it in
his letter that they can claim that it has
practically been laid aside. Secretary
Elkins viii go to New York shortly to dis

position Of the bodies, wounds, etc He
said Borden and his wife died Of shock.
The lawyers for the defense gave out a let
ter dated Waltham, Mass, signed by q man

writer said he WAS few miles from
Fall River the day of the murder and
met on the roadside a man covered with
blood, who said he had been fighting with a
farmer over his wages. Robinsky wrote
that he believed the man had only given
the farmer licking and he helped fix him
up, for which the man gave him a quarter
and asked that he say nothing about the
matter. The letter gives details of the meet
ing No such person is known in Waltham.
The first days hearing closed late with
DIR. Dolans testimony. The principal thugs
developed by Attorney Adams long ex-
animation was exposure Of the slipshod
methods Of the police force and medical ex-
aminer, one OF the results of which is the
imprisonment of Miss Lizzie A. Borden.
The principal government witness made
confession to this fact, allowing that his
final search was delayed and that only a
partial autopsy was held shortly after the

tral Railroad Company, aud orders the
Central company to operate its own line

ing Of the effect Of Chancellor McGilrs de-
cision upon the deal, President Mcleod
said this evening: The decision will have
as much effect as il the injunction was
directed against the Sioux Indians. Ia
would, Of course, IL not disturbed by the
higher court, involve some changes in tho
forms of operation, such as In the
methods of keeping the accounts, and
In the personnel of the officers. As to its
bearing in actual results ii will have none.
Friends of the Reading company own a
controlling interest in the Central railroad
Of New Jersey and as owners Of the prop
erty no legal decision can disturb them in
their rights Moreover the coal In the New
Jersey Central territory Is now controlled
by the Philadelphia and Reading railroad
through the coal and iron com,
pRny. The coal and iron company
as owners Of the coal can direct as much OF
It or as little of it TO the Jersey Central
track as 1t sees fit. You see these facts
show how absolute and complete is Read-
ing control Of Jersey Central and the coal
situation. At the time the lease was made
there was an agreement for an alternate
contract which will accomplish the same
results as the lease contemplated.
81 guess Mr. Max we'll can act as president
of the Jersey Central as well as can If 10
becomes necessary. or course we will ap-,
peal from the decision to the higher courts"
