and important session of the great ma
tional industrial conference was expected
to take place yesterday, but the "blue

Confederate soldiers in attendance that
they would Join hands TO bury sectional

controlling influences dominating the
old political parties have allowed the ex-
isting dreadful conditions to develop
without serious effort to re-
strain or prevent them;" adding.
"We assert that political organiza-
tion representing the political principles
herein stated is necessary to redress the
grievances OF which we complain"
Four Of the demands" are:

1--WE demand that the amount in cir
culatiou medium be speedily increased to
not less than $50 per capita"
"We demand graduated income tax.
The platform also says that the tele
phone, the telegraph and the railways
should be owned by the government fol
the people.
A hot fight for the introduction of &
temperance plank in the platform was
precipitated by Miss Willard, but it fail

of continuous applause, stopping onl.
with five minutes more of tremendous
glory, glory hallelujah."
At midnight the committee was in ses

delegates to the next republican national
convention.
A grand army encampmcnt was in ses-

thought it would be of an advantage to
have the encampment reply to the
charge against Alger of absence from
duty by expressing confidence in him
both as man and soldier.
The program was carefully arranged
and the necessary resolutions Drawn
but at the last moment the endorsement
was refused. The encampment declined
to 60 into the president making busines.
and decided to allew Alger's military rec
ord to take care of itself.
