Delegates to the Convention
Enthusiastic.
Temporary Chairman Flower Opens
With Ringing Speech.
Permanent Chairman Caffrey Scores the
P0pulsis and Reputation.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Sept. 2.-That Old
Soi's golden rays were hidden by masses
OF oliver clouds during The early morning
did n seem 10 furnish O cause for de-
preston among the gold Democrats as
scmbled here today and the few hours Of
the morning preceding the assembling
OF the convention we're marked by scenes
that placed 1t more upon the plane OF
other great national conventions than IL
has seemed TO mold during the past few
days. The city streets surrounding the
hotel that had been made headquarters
were gay with bunting and flags and
botn tine exterior and interior OF Tomlin-
son Hall. where the convention is being
held were handsomely draped with bunt-
ing in the national colors. Inter-
spersed with the Stars. and Stripes and
otnerrutriotic and appropriate devicss.-
Tho rear of the stage is ornamented with
life sized portraits OF jefferson, Jac~son
and Joseph Mcdonald on the one side and
Cleveland, Gijdden and HencricEs on the
other. On the center and over the head
of the chairman is large eagle with
shield and fiag. Gold is everywhere on
all the ornaments on which IT can be- ap-
propriately placed. On the walls and up
per galleries are golden wreaths, within
which are the names OF the various states
OF the Union ornamented with a shield
ana fags, making vory handsome sp-
pearance.
The convention was very late in assem-
hI;,0 end ~, m nnnp ff,,,a tpo aocfa .,y,
the platform had not ceen filled. Chair
man Palmer called the convention to or
der at 1880. His remark that he had the
honor to preside for time over the only
national Democratic convention OF 1896,
caused great cheering. The call showed
IL states represented ny over $50 delegates.
Ex-Governor Roswell p. Flower was
named for temporary chairman and lis

Ex-Goyernor Roswell y. Flower cf
New YORK, as temporary chairman thon
addressed the convention. lie said,
among other things, that the gathering
made known TO the worll that he Demo-
cratic rarity had not yet surrendered TO
popullsm and anfrcby, The trnc GRIN
ciples OF Democracy, expounded by Jeffer-
son and exompliiled through century
OF national history, are not dead because
those principles havo been repudiated by
a convention calling itself Democratic,
but coniroll,d " un-Damocratic in
stincis. There are trae Democrats who
remain true to the principles OF their
party and who refuse to be oouDd by
party declarations which betray rarty
faith and threaten both party and coun-
try with disaster.

ONLY THE BEST
These Robbers Are Good
Judges of Clothing.
Picked Out Finest in SinnOtt
Brothers Store.
Decked Themselves Out From Head
to Foot and Departed.

Burg lars visited the Pawtuxet Valley
again last night, and as the result the
clerks In Sipnott Brothers. store at Arc
are at this morning. These robbers were
not OF the usual kind that visit the val
ley, who are willing to take anything
they can get their hands on, but were
evidently Of gentlemanly instincts and
fastidiouns in regard TO their personal
appearance, for they selected their plum
der with an eye to style and quality.
The store was closed as usual last even
ing, and perhaps the display of fall
styles in the windows tempted the men,
for some time during the night they en-
tered the store and appropriated Mr..
Sinnott's property to the amount Of 800.
TIE thieves forced an entrance by bor-
ing around the lock on the back door
and once inside had but little trouble in
finding what they wanted. Fiom all
appearances they took plenty OF time in
making their selections and were evil
IDENTIFY good judges OF clothing and fur
nishings. as their clothes were well
worn and much out OF fashion they fitted
themselves to two OF Mr.. Sinnott's best
suits, not forgetting new underwear and
the necessary studs and buttons to fasten
the dress shirts which they found attrac.
tive. They also visited the shoe department
OF the store ana selected shoes suita bic
TO be worn with their new clothes and
then after packing up few changes OF
clothing and underwear and quantity
of jewelry in two of the most expensive
yalises, they supplied themselves with
fall styles OF hats and
quietly departed, lea wing behind
their old clothes, with a number OF
stones In plsc OF visiting cards in the
pockets az reminder OF their visit. As
soon as the robbery was discovered
Deputy Sheriff 81. B. Lynch was notified
and Immediately commenced work on
the case, but with the exception OF the
discarded wearing apparel left in the
store there Is no clue 10 the thieves. The
valley il at pr sent ovcrrnn with sharpers
tramps and buns OF oil descriptions who
follow the morse races through the
country and II Is thought that some OF
these race course followers may be re-
sponsible for the break.

ti0n at Arlington.
A Cranslon Veteran Sued by His House.
keeper for Wages.

TO those people who boarded the early
train TO Providence from the West Arlng-
ton station this morning was revealed tte
fact that the station had been broken
into by thieves.
That the thieves are strangers at this
part of the state is shown by the fact that
nothing Dut bare floors and undecorated
walls greeted tho eyes OF the thieves. The
station has been securely closed and
nothing left inside.
In order to gain an entrance the thieves
broke an opening in large pane OF glass,
through which they could reach the win
dow lock. They raised the window and
were not met by a revolver i'm the hands
Of a brave ticket agent. No, emptiness
greeted them on every side. Ii is agreed
by those who appreciate the joke that it
was . poorly planned robbery.
Mr.. James Toohey OF Cranston was
brought up in court this morning by his
housekeeper for the payment Of back
wages. The bousekeeper, Miss Susie
Shallow, fascinating lass OF about 80
summers, claims So week for about Al
weeks.
Mr.. Toohey said in court that he met
Miss Shallow in saloon in the city.
There she told hin that her purse was
empty and that she had no pillow uron
which TO rest her pretty curls.
Mr.. Toohey at this time had lost his
housekeeper and also sympathizing with
Susie, he offered TO take her TO his home
and have her keep house for him, with
out any stipulated salary.
Mr. Toobey slso said that Susie was
not faithful TO her trust that she
allowed him to go to the hospital dur
ing a spell of sickness at which time she
went to see another man.
Miss Susie claims that Mr.. Toobey
promised her money; that when she asked
for it Mr.. Toohey would put Ter off by
saying "Wait till get my pension"
The case produced quite little merri-
ment among the lawyers. Ths excited
testimony and the revealed secrets caused
excitement and anger among the wit
nesses.
Miss Shallow has reputation at stake.
Mr. Toohey. says that she is married
woman and that she has been spending
his money for drink.
The decision will be given by Judge
Phillips next Wednesday.
