who represent political thoughtfulness and
sincerity. Az an unyieldinc, consistent be-

not hesitate to pledge organized democracy
the good will and fraternal SYM athy of
this democratic city. Your meeting is the
council of war which precedes the decisive
battle. Your deliberations should he the
preparation for strong conflict. All your
weapons, your equipment will soon be
tested. You have labored, organized

furtherance of the designs and purposes
for the accomplishment of which you and
those you represent are banded together.

by your constitution. are the preservation
of the constitution of the United States,
the autonomy of the states, self-govern-

imposition of taxes beyond the necessities

state boundaries are hardly barrier to

to the creed of this association and make
claim to sincerity can hardly excuse them
selves for lack of effort at time when the
necessities of the government economically

the taxation of the people and when extra

HARRISON HOPES DASHED.
Gen. Sickles Will Not Go on the stump for
the Big Hat.

Gen. sickles Will Not Go on the stump for
the Big Hat.
New YORK, Oct. A morning paper says
that Gen. Daniel Sickles will not go on the
stump for Harrison in the present cam
paiRn. He made the declaration last night
and shattered the hope which many re-
publioans entertained. This hope was
based on the published reports of Gen.
Sickles' speech to his boys Of the Third
army corps at the recent reunion in Wash
ington. "There WAS nothing of a political
cha racter in that Speech" said the general
last night. MY reference to Gen. Har-
rison was not as the candidate of the re-
publican party, but as a soldier and as
president of the United States. Neither
candidate or party were mentioned and the
political significance given to the speech
was only by its adoption to them"
The general added: "For the frst time
find myself a mugwump. with indifference
upon political parties and partisan conten-
tion. / shall not go on the stump for either
candidate. / did so with Gov. Hill, for
Cleveland, in 1898. and our reward was to
be accused of knitting the ticket. l went
ont through the state with Gov. Hill in
1888 at Clsveland's request. He had found
some trouble to handle the old soldiers and
he thought could assist in keeping them
in line. l found them glad enough to see
me wherever we went, but they would not
be shaken from their determination to vote
for Harrison. They said: we are glad to
see you, general, but You must not ask US
to vote for Cleveland"

BY A LARGE MAJORITY.

The Democratic Ticket Is Elected in
Florida.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. Oct 4.-The vote at
the state election to-day was not hardly as
heavy as expected. This is accounted for
by the fact that the poll tax requirements
kept down the aggregate of qualified cleo
tors in all parties. At II y. IN. reports had
been received f'om every county in the
state, and the actual returns. coupled with
careful and conservative estimR tss show
that Mitchell, democrat, has majority in
the state of not far from 25,O00 His vote
will probably run to $1,000; Baskin's. peo-
ple's patty, will not exceed 6,O00. This is
10000 less than the republican vote four
years ago, and white republic
ans, where they voted at all,
generally supported the peoples party
ticket, the negroes. strange to say, divided
their votes between Mitchell and Baskin.
Reports from about twenty-five of the
counties declare that more negroes voted
the democratic ticket than the peoples
ticket. This, too, without solicitation of
any kind. except in close contests on county
candidates.
A special from Tampa to the Times
Union says: Chairman Parkham of the
democratio state committee, said at mid
night that the majority of the democracy
bids far to be much larger than the most
sanguine could have predicted few days
ago. Fifteen thousand majority was quite
as large as anyone seemed to hope for, but
the vote shows that the state is still over
whelminRly democratic"

which inspired our forefathers but they

days of the republic as democratic as the

son we follow leaders who typify the spirit

can institutions. men who in personal
character and public service are not eur

ago."
The speaker then took up and dwelt at
length on the tariff, making a strong. un-
unstable free trade argument. The gov
ernment had no right to levy anv tax ex-
cept for the necessities of Its support, and
that the power to levy any tax which ia
vored any special industry without re-
straint made the men who possessed ii
masters, the people slaves. The speaker
then took up the force bill, which he de-
clared of even greater Importance than the
tariff question, because it included the
tariff. He declared it the product of a
wicked, deliberate conspiracy between
monopoly and oligarchy, and its political
servants in congress devised with satanic
ingenuity to keep the parties to the con-
spiracy in power in spite of the popular
will. He closed by predicting the election
of Cleveland and Stevenson. President
Black then presented Grover Cleveland,
who was received cheers.
Mr. Cleveland then proceeded to deliver
as Citizen of New York, the address oil
welcome. He said: "As a citizen of this

NEW York, Oct. 4.--The national associa-
tion OF democratic clubs convened to-day
in the Academy Of music. Long before the
hour for assembling the delegates began to
arrive and take their seats. The entire
orchestra and FIRST balcony were reserved
for delegates. They were divided into SEQ
tions by states and territories with placards
affixed to sticks designating their assigned
positions. The rooms were profusely decor
ated with flags. banners and portraits of
Cleveland and Stevenson. The boxes were
filled with fashionable people. As prom
inent members of the party filed in, one
after another, they were heartily oheered.
About II O'clock ex-Lieut. Gov. Chauncey
F. Black, of Pennsy ylvania, president of the
association, entered the hall, followed by
ex- President Grover Cleveland. Their en-
trance was the signal for tumult Of ap-

Should Cut the Gord,an Knot.

DENVER, Oct. 4.-Moreton Frewen, polit-
ical economist. of England, and advocate
of the free coinage of silver, said here to-
day that he believed the United States big
enough to shoulder the responsibility of
free coinage single handed, and if the
European nations do not undertake it Mt an
early day they should cut the Gordian
knot. He is of the opinion that the enor-
nous exporting capacity of the United
States would carry the country through
any financial disturbance that might arise
Ra the result of throwing open the mints.
In conclusion he eaid: II think the Indian
mints will be closed, only the government
being permitted to coin. and the result will
be raise in the price of silver and the
price of produce from silver using nations
sold in European markets."
