BALTIMORE, June 29.-At the State Conven-

After an hours talk with him, the President
said he recognizes our plea but is powerless

it, but the Church is not powerless. The

THE SIGNIFICANCE OF STEVENSON.


There is considerable instruction in the
exaltation allotted by the Tammany and
other machine Democratic organs to the
tail of their ticket Ordinarily the Vice
Presidential nomination is not a very i'm
portant one, even though experience has
taught US in the cases of Tyler, johnson
and Arthur that 1t implies the making of
a possible President But occasionally, as
in the nomination of Pendleton in 1864,
and in the action taken at Chicago, it dis
closes concession to an element which
condemns the party
The sole significance of Stevenson as a
candidate is as a representative of the
spoils Democracy That was the senti-
ment clearly expressed in the speeches by
which he was put in nomination, and is
the sole characteristic of his career of
which the nation is generally informed.
How unknown he is otherwise is amply
illustrated by the fact that among all the
guesses on the Presidential ticket before
the nominations were made the combina-
ton of Cleveland and Stevenson was
practically unheard of. The only public
work for which Mr. Stevenson was famed
was his achievement, as Assistant Post
master General, in decapitating third-class
postmasters of the Republican stripe and
putting in Democrats. This invention Of
preteXts to reduce Cleveland's civil service
reform pledges to nullity was shallow
but effective; and his elevation to the rank
of Vice Presidential candidate is the
tribute Of the party to its effectiveness.
1t is to be admitted, as illustrating the
sincerity and value of party pledges, that
the same work was avowedly performed
by Clarkson for the Republican admins
tration. But the Republican party has
not testified its appreciation of such null

mating Clarkson for Vice President

that the Democracy signally rewards the

Unearthed a Conspiracy.

The Police of Walthall Claim to Have
Unearthed a Conspiracy.
LONDON, Jan. S-The police claim TO
have effected an important arrest Of an
anarchist residing In WalthalL A man
recently passing the police station in Tot
tenham court was arrested. He carried a
parcel containing bottle labeled ohloro-
form. Papers were found on him giving
details Of anarchist plots, and giving the
names of persons implicated In the conspira-
cies. The papers showed that the head
quarters Of the anarchists were at Walthall.
The result was the arrest Of a Ere Gilman
named Nictcr Gales. Marie Pebelue, with
whom he was living, and Frederick Charles.
A SEARCH OF THEIR ROOMS.
The arrests were followed by search of
the club room and residences of the prison~
ers and the discovery OF bombs and molds
for making them. The police also dis
covered where the bombs were made.
In the club room was found s an
abundant supply of anarchist pam
phlets, teaching the manufacture
OF explosives, besides quantity OF material
for bombs. The police have been watching the
place for three months, but until the fortu-
nate arrest in London yesterday of the sus-
piciOus character no evidence was secured
that gave them legal warrant for to-day's
arrests at Walsall and search of club rooms.
CENTER OF AGITATION.
The Walsall club, to which the prisoners
belonged, has heen the center of anarchist
propaganda for several years throughout the
midland counties OF the many lecturers who
explained auarchlstic doctrines to the club,
Prince Krapotkiue, the well-known Russian
aRitator, was the favorite. A firm Of iron
founders have informed the authorities that
in November they were offered extensive
orders for making hollow castings similar
to the bomb which was produced by the
chief constable IN the court to-day.

MY DEAR SIR have made an engagement to

the dinner OF the Young Mems Democratic
Association at Philadelphia. in cele-
bration of the same anniversary. / hope
the democracy Of the country will generally

serve TO stimulate real democratic sentiment.
which recognizes the responsibility Of our party
to the people and the duty owe to those who
have reposed confidence in our professions. We
will thus be constrained to steady and persist
ent advocacy of the principles which are con-
cededly democratic and will be prepared to re
sist temptation to win party supremacy by
support Of theories challenged as to their dem
ocratc character and certainly dangerous and
dstracting TO the harmony Of our party. Tenn
porary shifts and reckless expedients do not
accord with the nature and policy OF true
democracy. It's best hope and reliance have
always been and must be in constant adherence
to its acknowledged principles, and in plain and
persistent presentation of those principles to
the intelligence and thoughtfulness of the
American people. Yours very truly,
