SPOKE OF SPIRlTUALISM
mrs. CADUALLADER ADDRESSED
IN ATTENTITE AUDIENCE


In the parlors of the Tontine Hotel Last
Evening in Defence of the Doctrine.
An interesting address by Mrs. M.
L. Cadwallader, honorary vice presi-
dent of the National Association of
Spiritualists at Washington, d. c., was
delivered in the parlors of the Tontine
hotel last evening in the presence OF
representative spiritualists of New Ha-
ven in the interests of the National AS
ISOLATION OF Spiritualists For years
the spiritualists Of the country have
been content to do their work in a
quiet way and to this end While they
formed societies for local work did not
seek to perfect any national organi-
cation The number of societies
throughout the United States having
grown to such proportions that it was
advisable to organize with q central
headquarters steps We're taken to form
such one. AT the present time it
is estimated that there are at least s.
100000 spiritualists in the United States.
Five hundred societies chartered as re-
lisious bodies, 1000 public lectures and
mediums besides many private ones.
There are nearly one hundred papers
published in the interest of spiritualism
III various languages, fifty-two camp
meetings hold yearly sessions. There
are also many state associations
These various societies are all seeking
to unite under the banner of the N.
5. A., which has for it's objects the
protection of mediums and the further
ing of the interests of spiritualsm.
While the spiritualists have no creed,
as is understood by the masses, they
claim to be religious body of people,
and are chartered by the state as re-
ligious societies. They believe in the
continuity of life and the Immortality
of the soul. They feel that though those
they have loved and who have passed
to the shores of the beyond are in
visible to mortal eyes, they can hold
conversations with them through the
instrumentality of mediums or sensi-
tives. Spiritualists do not hesitate to
say that science is demonstrating that
spiritualism is true, and as an illus
tratfon point to the cathode ray, which
they say proves the truth of clairvoy-
allce.
The X ray is, in their opinion only
demonstration of this fact. Who can
disprove their claim? Shopenhauer,
the German philosopher, says the man
who denies clairvoyance simply proves
his ignorance. Many noted scientists
Of the last fifty years have accepted
the, truth of spiritualism, among them
Professor William Crookes, Alfred Rus
sell Wallace, William Tyndall, Camille
Flamarrion and Robert Hare. Edison,
the inventor is also reported as thor
ougfly believing in the possibility of
communication with the inhabitants of
the other world.
The meeting was attended by about
one hundred citizens, men and wo-
men, from all the different denomina-
lions. Edwin r. Whiting of DixWell
avenue, who is a member Of the ma
tional association, presided.
Mr. Cadwallader who is pleasant
speaker held the attention of his audi
ence throughout the entire lecture.
Mrs. Cadwallader is the guest of Mrs.
DIR. Mary Wright at the Tontine, who is
one of the leading spiritualists in Con-
necticut

Senator White explained that the
committee on credentials reported that
it could not finish the work for three
hours, and the convention could not
adopt the platform without the titles to
seats settled. So, although Finley of
Ohio moved to proceed, an adjournment
was made at 1877 p. m. until p. m.
THE AFTERNOON SESSION
The crowd for the second session of the
day was larger than the first. An hour
before 5 o'clock Ihe hundreds began
streaming in, and at $50 the committee
on resolutions filed into the inclosure.
In the van was the stalwart form Of
Senator Hill. AS the delegates and the
crowd caught sight of him they rose to
their feet and wildly cheered the New
York leader. Again and again they
cried his name, but the senator quietly
took his seat and conferred in subdued
tones with those about him, as If utterly
unconscious of the tumult.
Ten minutes later Chairman Daniel
called the convention to order and an
nounced that the committee on creden-
tials was ready to report. When the
reading clerk read the report seating
fotsf silver delegates from Michigan,
which changed the complexion of the

ing comparison of the original and Off

tary of the national committee, your
committee begs leave to report that it
finds its roster or roll-call Of names cor
rect, with the exception Of those names
appearing thereon as delegates and al
ternates from the states of Nebraska
and Michigan. Great applause and
cheering.) Relative to the contests from
Nebraska your committee begs leave to
report that after careful examination of
the testimony presented to your COM

sideration of their several arguments.
your committee finds and begs leave to
report that the delegates and alternates
headed by the Hon. W. J. Bryan of Ne
braska (great applause) are entitled to
seats in the convention. (Applause.)
In regard to the contest from the state
of Michigan, your committee is not
ready to report, and asks further time
for the consideration of the same.

delegation under the unit rule from gold
to silver there was considerable applause
among the silver men on the floor.
Ex-Congressman John C. Crosby of
Massachusetts,, on behalf Of the minor
ity of the committee, took the stage and
earnestly protested against the decision
OF the majority. He spoke, he said, in
behalf of eighteen states. His voice was
hardly audible fifty feet away, and the
crowds yelled Louder"
He said: "Mr. Chairman and Gentle
men of the nvention-Representin
eighteen states of this convention, 1 de-
sire to move an amendment to the report
of the committee which has been sub
mitted to this convention. / move, sir,
that the delegations from the Fourth
and Ninth Michigan districts be entitled
to keep the seats which they now oc-
cupy."
When he had completed brief review
of the merits of the case. John H. Bren-
nan, Wisconsin gold delegate followed
with another protest.
Mr.. Brennan bad good stage pres
ence and clear, strong voice, and was
given respectful hearing. He warned
the convention of the danger involved
in this decision. The gold men in the gall
leries cheered him Justify when he ap-

This was the signal for q wild demon
stration In honor Of Bryan. the boy ora
tor Of the Platte" who IL now every
where recognized as a dark horse. The
sudden announcement Of the determine
tion Of the Illinois delegation to desert
Bland and vote for Stevenson after the
first ballot fell like q wet blanket or
Missouri's candidate. The Alabama
Bland men also changed their allegiance
but the Bland men still kept up brave
sourian made great progress and con-
fidently claimed that before the even
ing session Of the convention they would
have blocked his way to the nomination.
McLean's power was manifest every
where, and the combination to nominate
Teller grew more formidable with each
development. The prospect Of gold bolt
strengthened the argument of those who
favored combination with the silver
Republicans and the Populists.
The crowds returned to the convention
ed night session and decisive action on
the platform. There was further delay,
however, in the committee on creden-
tials, and in the meantime the band
played, and as the evening advanced
myriads of electric lights added brill
liant animation to the scene. The Mich
igan contest, which has excited sharp
division in committee, was reported ut
o'clock. giving the silver forces ma
jority Of the delegation, and thus per-
mitting them to swing the twenty-eight
votes Of Michigan for silver. It excited
warm debate and gave evidence of the
intense personal feeling aroused. When
after two hours Of speech-making the
final vote was taken 1t gave the occa-
sion for the most spontaneous and stir
ring demonstrations that occurred. AS
the New York delegation cast it's vote
to sustain the Michigan gold delegates
a great shout went up from the thous-
ands Of delegates and spectators. which
grew in intensity as 1t proceeded. while
men jumped on chairs and waved hats.

selves hoarse. 1t was eighteen minutes
before the rapping Of the chairman
could bring the convention to order.
Then, a moment later, the chair an
nounced that the silver men had q de-
cisive majority. and there was a repeti-
ton Of the wild demonstration. this time
by the silver men. lasting nineteen min
utes 1t was evident that the leaders
bided their time for counsel, and they
determined not to urge the platform to
final issue tonight.
With the forcible speech of Senator
White on taking the chair. the perman-
ent organization was perfected. and at
$3.50 the convention adjourned until 10
o'clock tomorrow morning.

Senator Daniel raped for order. The
minions Of the sergeant at arms had
difficulty in clearing the aisles. When
all were seated 1t was found the spaces
reserved for New York, Massachusetts,
Maine, Maryland and New Jersey were
| practically vacant. The threat Of the
| bolt came home with q realizing sense,
but 1t was explained that the delega-
tions were still in conference discussing
| the situation.

copal minister from Cedar Rapids, Ia.
who has the distinction Of having prayed
for harmony at previous Democratic
conventions. delivered the invocation.
Senator Daniel was a commanding
figure as he stood by the flag-draped
desk announcing the first business of
the day. 1t would be the reports Of COM
mittees. A hitch appeared at once when
it was announced that the committee
on credentials was not ready.
FILLING IN TIME
Chairman Daniel put the motion that
the convention take five-minutes' re-
cess and be addressed by Governor HogR
of Texas. The motion was carried. The
former Lone Star governor, known to
the world at large on account Of his fight
against the railroads in his state, is
easily the biggest man in the conven-
tion. His weight is not less than 800
pounds. and he stands some inches over
six feet He proceeded with q voice
like the bass of a church organ to hurl
thunderbolts against gold and Republi-
canism, and finally into a discussion Of
the tariff question. His purpose was sim

.tton until the credentials committee

Senator White assumed the gavel, while
the crowd cried for Hill, Bryan, Black

Delegate Money Of Mississippi moved
that Senator Blackburn be requested to
address the convention, and the crowd
yelled itself hoarse in approval.
BLACKBURN'S ADDRESS
With proud step the gallant Kentuck-
ian mounted the steps. His appearance
set the convention wild. He Is one Of the
silver idols. and 1t was apparent as
soon as his fervid oratory was launched
he had the pit and the gallery with him.
The Democratic party, he said, was in
convention to correct its grievances and
right its wrongs. The campaign had
been opened in splendid style. State
after state had fallen in line, and the |
convention was instructed overwhelm- |
inglJ by majority of the party and the |
people.
The Kentuckian's speech was like a |
fierce cavalry charge. It swept along |
with volley after volley of silver shot,
and its points were followed by volley
after volley Of wild shrieks of applause
and approval. A terrific yell went up
when he said: Let us construct plat
form that neither to human nor devilish
ingenuity can admit of more than one I
There was another yell when he ex-
horted the convention to tell the country
mat we mean to put silver back where

Capt. Davis was at once recognized as
a promising lawyer and brilliant orat-
or. He was quickly sought out and
pressed into service as campaign
speaker. In the fall Of 1866 he was
elected to the state legislature from
one Of the st. Paul districts, and served
efficiently in that capacity. Shortly
afterwards he was appointed United
States district attorney. His record in
this Office was one Of fine professional
success, and soon brought him to q
leading position at the bar, and also to
Of the party.
In June, 1873, he was nominated as
the Republican candidate for govern
duly elected, and his Official record was
In every respect creditable.
Gov. Davis declined q re-nominat ton,
and retired to private life at the end Of
his two years term. He resumed the

ardent devotion and ever-augmented
