CHICAGO CONVENTION HALL, June 22.-
The New York Syracuse delegates re.
ceived the cold shoulder this morning
from the credentials committee, and
Gen. Bragg, Of Wisconsin, who offered
q resolution to give them seats in the
new convention hall (as spectators and
without votes) had to withdraw It for
the reason that 1t could not receive the
unanimous vote OF the committee and
must he passed by majority vote II at
all. The incident showed the feeling
with which a large number Of delegates
regard the Syracuse convention. They
regard the Syraouseites as seeming to
break down the regular organization.
The southern members including warm
supporters Of Mr.. Cleveland are es.
pecially hostile to the May convention

BuzzARDs BAY, Mass, June 22.-The
day has been intensely hot here and not
until after 2 o'clock did breeze enough
spring upto make locomotion barely
possible. Over at Gray Gables
ex-president Cleveland and his
guest, Governor William E. Russell, OF
Massachusetts, spent the forenoon
hours very quietly. Large easy chairs
were provided in east and northeast
piazzas and there the gentlemen sat
and lounged in the shade enjoying
such cooling breaths Of air as came.
BY private wire Mr.. Cleveland Is in
touch with the outside world, and he
was in constant receipt of messages, not
only from friends in different parts OF
the country, but also from the Chicago
convention,
After the opening of the convention,
bulletins were received at frequent in
teryals and were read with apparent ea-
gerness, but none of them caused Mr.,
Cleveland TO display excitement It
had been intended by the occupants Of
Gray Gables TO make fishing trip to-

Republican convention ever held in this

The interest is intense and it looks as ii
a very hard Eight would be made by the
friends Of the several candidates, and

WILSON IN A TRANCE.
For years We have been struggling for
the right Of taxing ourselves, and now
we are threatened with the loss of the
greater right Of governing ourselves.
The loss Of one follows in necessary sue
cession to the'loss of the other. When
you confer on government the power OF
dealing out wealth, you unchain every
evil that can pray upon and eventually
destroy free institutions-eXcessive tax
alton, class taxation. billion dollar
Congress, a corrupt civil service, q de-
banched ballot box and purchased
elections. In every campaign the priv
ilege OF taxing the people will be bar
tered for contributions at the polls. At
ter every victory new Mckinley bill
will BIO passed to repay these con-
trlbutionG with taxes wrung from
the people. For every self governing
people there can be no more momen-
tous question than the question OF tax
alton. It Is the question, OF which Mr..
Burke truly said, around which all the
great battles OF freedom have been
fought. II is the. question out
OF which grew all the is
sues OF government Until We
settle this question wisely, permanent
", Justly we build all other reforms on
q foundation OF sand. We and the
great party we represent are to-day for
tariff reform because it is the only gate
way to genuine Democratic government.
The distingui he'd leader who presided
over the Republican convention boosted
that he does not know what tariff re-
form is. Who ever said that no did.
Let us hope, with that charity that
endureth all things and believeth all
things, that he is truly as ignorant as
he wants himself to be. Unfortunately
the people are not so ignorant OF the
meaning OF protection-at least OF the
protection which is dealt out to them
In the bill that bears the name. They
see that meaning, written large" to-

But, gentlemen, must not keep you
from the work that is before you. Let
us take up that work as brothers, as
patriots, MS Democrats. In SO large a
convention as this, larger in numbers
than any previous gathering Of our
party and representing a larger con.
stituency than ever before assembled in
any convention. it would be strange if
there we're not someditferences of opin-
ion on matters OF policy and some diff
ferences OF judgment, or Of preference
as to the choice OF candidates. 1t is the
sign OF free democracy, that is many
voiced and within the limits Of true
freedom. 1t wears no collars; it serves
no masters. We cannot shut our eyes
to the fact that many that have hereto
fore followed our flag with enthusiasm
are to-day calling with excuaahle i'm
patience for immediate relief the bur-
dens, to restore, broaden and increase
the prosperity OF tho people and every
part of them within the limits and ac-
cording to the principles OF free govern
ment that the Democratic party dares
to promise that it will do with its might.
Whatever is beyondthis, whatever is in
compatible with free government and
our history, it dares not promise to any
one.

cannot be cured in moment any more
than inyeterate diseases in tho human
system Whoever processes the power
+ to do go is himself deceived, or himself
deceiver. Our party is not quack or
worker OF miracles.

WORDS, MERE WORDS.

1t is not for me, gentlemen. the i'm.
partial servant of you all, to attempt to
foroshadow what your choice should be,
or ought to be, in the selection of your
candidates. You will make that selec-
ton under your own sense Of response
bility to the people you represent and
to your country. One thing only l
venture to say. Whoever may be your
chosen leader in this campaign, no tele-
gram will fash across the sea from the
castle OF absentee tariff lords to con-
graduate him. But from the home of
the laborer, from the fireside Of tho
toiler, from the hearts Of all who love
Justice and equity, who wish and in.
tend that our matchless heritage OF
freedom shall be the common wealth Of
all our people and the common oppor-
tunity Of all our youth, will come up

Mr.. Wilson's declaration that the
Democratic party would never permit
this to become either a pauper or pir-
ate nation, was cheered roundly. The
statement that the reciprocity Of the
Mckinley bill meant rather retaliation
against our own people was applauded
heartily. Simple Simon fishing for
whales in his mothers rain barrel and
catching an occasional wiggle-waggle,
presented the true realistic picture Of
reciprocity according to the Republic
can plan. This characterization aroused
laughter and shouts of applause. Quick,
emphatic shouts greeted the statement
that the candidate would receive con-
gratulations from the foreign castles Of
protection barons Of this country. Mr..
Wilson closed at 12;45 and VIM. H. En-
glish, of Indiana, read the report Of the
committee on rules which established

that the Democratic party believes in

admit this charge. What right or use

nent for q country, with freedom and

eminent we can throw that support to

force. If we use the one we are pau

does NOT intend that we should DO
either. No more does it intend that
they shall falsely call 1t taxing other
people to transfer our taxes from the
possessions Of those who own property
OF the country to the bellies and backs
OF those who do the work Of the coun-
try. Il believes that frugality is the
essential virtue OF free government. 1t
believes that taxes should be limited TO
public needs and DO levied by the plain
rule Of justice and economy.
NEW CRY.
But gentlemen, we are confronted
with new cry in this campaign. The
Republican party says Governor Nc
Kinley now stands for protection and
reciprocity. He was for protection
alone when he framed his bill in the
house, or rather permitted his benef.
Charles 10 frame II for him, and firmly
resisted all efforts Of the statesman
from Maine to annex reciprocity to 1t.
No wonder that he favors the recipro.
city order by the senate. You may ex-
plore the pages OF burlesque literature
for anything more supremely ludicrous
than the so-cailed reciprocity OF the
Mckinley bill.
1t ia not reciprocity at all. It is.a re-
taliation, and worst Of all retaliation on
our own people. It Furnishes American
citizens for the necessities or the tolliea
OF other people. 1t says to few small
countries south OF it, III you are forced
By our necessities, or led by your neces.
stiles TO make bread higher and scarcer
to your people, we will make shoes
aud sugar higher and scarcer to our peo-
pie" And now We are told that reci-
procity is to be their hattie cry, al.
ready we are RECALLED with pictures OF
Benjamin Harrison clad in armor and
going forth to battle Tor reciprocity on
a plumed steed. Simple Simon fishing
for whales in his mothers rain barrel,
and in great triumph capturing an occa-
sional wiggle waggle, is the only true
realistic picture OF the reciprocity Of
the Mckinley bill. We are for the pro.
lection that protects, and for the reci-
procity that rcciprocates. We arc in
favor Of protecting every manin the en-
joyment OF the fruit OF his labor, dimin-
ished only by his proper contribution
to the support Of the government and
so are not for that reciprocity through
dickering diplomacy and presidential
proclamations, but by laws Of Congress
that remove all unnecessary obstacles
between the American producer and the
markets he is obliged to seek for his
products.
