A DEMOCRATIC TANGLE

| DUBUQUE Iowa, Sept. 28-Genersls
| Alger, Howard, Sickels, Slegel and Cor
poral Tanner arrived from the west early
this morning and were welcomed by q
large number of citizens. They re-
NAMED In their special car until 9:3(
when they were escorted to Washington
Park where they spoke for two hours IN
behalf of Mckinley. Special trains
brought in hundreds Of sxcursionists
and it is estimated that not less than
1O,OO0 people were present.
Senator Allison delivered the address
OF welcome on the part of the city and
Governor Drake for the state. General
Sickels was the first speaker. His de-
claration that he was one of the three
hundred thousand New York democrats
who would not vote for Bryan, caused
tremendous cheering. His speech was
on the tariff and on the present condi-
ton of the democratic party. General
Algers speech was on the money ques-
ton. He was frequently interrupted
by applause. Adjstent General Ste
wsrt, of Penn, closed the speaking with
speech that kept the crowd constantly
cheering. At noon the party left on
special train for the west.
CHICAGO. Sept. 2S-Ohairman Jones,
Of the democratic national committee,
has gone to New York, where, to night,
he will meet Senator German ana other
democratic leaders and endeavor to
straighten out the tsngle in which New
York democrats find themselves by the
withdrawal of John Boyd Thacher. The
democratic Chairman's departure was
kept secret, only one or two persons con-
nected with the national headquarters
knew that the Senator was going. He
left Chicago yesterday afternoon. An
invitation, it is said, will be extended
aim to meet with the leaders at Fifth
Ave. Hotel and advise with them. Dem
ocrstIc leaders have announced that
fusion with the populists is practically
perfected in every state where it WIS at
tempted except Indiana and the plan
there has not bsen entirely abandoned.
The last state to agree on terms was
Kentucky and the silver men say they
are more than encouraged to hope for
success there.
LEADvILLE, Col, Sept. 28-Among
citizens the engrossipg topic today is
the probably action Of the committee
of five appointed at the strikers meet
ing Saturday evening to consider wheth-
or or not it would be best to continue
the fight or take measures towards
reaching q pacific settlement. Very
many of the strikers are anxi-
having been taken. One of their num-
Der confirmed it, however, in converse |
ton with him.
what do you think the committee |
Of five is going to report?" he was ask
3D.
''It's hard to tell" he replied, "any-
way the whole thing is preliminary"
From an authoritative source it was
learned that the committee created at
meeting now stands,
two are in favor of advising an at
tempt to make terms Of surrender, |
while three are for continuing the strike |
10 its present descent vigor. Another |
still more significant indication is that a |
number of strikers who are wearying OF |
idleness came out at the military head |
quarters. Several local members OF the |
Union, men who have for years been |
residents of Leadville, called singly and |
privately on General Brooks. All of |
them wanted to assure him they had |
no sympathy with the crimes that been |
incidental to the strike and would be |
glad to return to work peacsbly if t!
permitted.
Adjutant General Moses has had a
conference with Governor Mcintyre re-
Zarding an early settlement, but he
would not ssy anything "a te the result.
'All can say now is that there is no
intention on the part Of the state to
uithdraw even portion of the troops"
Everything Is quiet today.
