WORDS OF WARNING.

In an open letter addressed to many
leading Democrats of the country who are
his personal friends, the venerable An
drew ID. White, whose long experience in
the higher departments of politics, whose
learning and whose integrity give weight
to his words, has solemnly urged them to
allow 70 party considerations to induce
them to give even a tacit consent to the
Chicago ticket or the chicago platform.
In what was done st Chicago, and in
what was there proposed to be done in
case of success at the polls. Mr.. White
threat of revolution, not only in our poll
tics and our industries, but in our whole
social organization. at is a platform" be
declares, "leading logically and histor-
ically to despotism." He points out the
tendencies of the policy enunciated and
justly argues that if all conservative men,
Democrats as well as Republicans, do not
com bine to check at once the progress of
the demagogues and agitators those men
will rapidly force forward a conflict be-
tween labor and capital and excite in our
country the worst passions that inflame
the mobs of Europe.
Mr. White is not among those who be-
lieve the ticket is better than the platform
and fondly trust that Bryan will not be
ruled by Altgeld or Tillman. On this
point he says:
For the first time in the history of the
United States we have an anarchist and social
ist platform, and for the first time. also, can
didate who has never given the slightest evil
dence of craftsmanship. The only qualification
of this candidate-'sThe Boy Orator"-is that
| during his briet career in Congress he made
one or two speeches which amused the House
and pleased its galleries, and that during the
recent convention he took the fancy OF the
mob by single exhibition of fiaring rhetoric
Nothing beyond his speeches is needed to
show that both in temper and intellect he is
utterly unfit to deal with the great questions
which now confront the country, or, indeed,
with any large questions whatever.
With such a platform and such candi-
dates the success of the Democratic party
in this election would be sure to result in
| confusion, ruin, distress and dishonor.
No intelligent man who paid the slightest
heed to what was said and done at
Chicago. or who considers the class of
men that dominated the proceedings
there, can have any doubt that such would
be the result. Under these circumstances,
as Mr.. White says, the one duty of all
true Democrats is Frankly, boldly, un-
qualifiedly to break loose from this wild
mob masquerading in the Democratic
garb and like the great war Democrats
during our civil struggle to cast your lot
fully for the time at least with the party
which you have heretofore opposed
This appeal will not fail to fnd a re-
sponse from many patriotic Democrat.
Already men of business and character
are turning their backs upon the Chicago
platform and ticket and are declaring
unequivocably for Mckinley. They may
not like his tariff policy, but they know
that on his side are law, order and pros
perity and they will vote for these and
let the Bryans, Altgelds and Tilmans
! howl IN vain

part OF 1t TO themselves by arbitrary meas
ures. conflict between England and
Russia and France for better hold upon
lnoia and Egypt at the expense of Great
Britain would be sure to end in greater
commercial freedom for Asia and Africa
ana very much wider division OF the
trade of those countries. and in that the
United States would be greatly benefited.
But perhaps the greatest advantage that
would accrue to this country by the COM
merclal independence of India and Egypt
would be IL their demand for q bimetal-
lc international monetary system. They
would come into convention as advo-
Gates OF otmetallism. and being free to di-
vert tneir commerce away from France
ana England they would, as business
propositlon, insist that both silver and
gold be used for redemption money as
condition or formulating commercial
treaties. They would then become allies
OF the United States, and no doubt we
should be greatly the gamer for it. This
IS upon the supposition that if Russia and
France undertake to drive England out of
India and Egypt, or to materially weaken
her influence, those countries would take
advantage of the situation and emerge
from 1t stronger than ever to assert their
commercial independence, and no doubt
that would follow, for the people of those
countries have been in too close touch
with the commercial nations of Europe
ana the United States in recent years not
TO know what the value of trade indepen-
dence would be to them, especially If they
could oblige Europe to change its mone-
tary system to one which would make
gold and silver interchangeable as re-
demption money, and that is exactly what
they could and would do with this coun-
try as the leader in the movement. A
conflict, therefore, between Great Britain
and Russia and France for territorial pos
sessions IN India and Egypt would not be
looked upon as a calamity by this coun-
try, for it would make international BIZ
metallism doubly sure and give this coun-
try very solid footing in Asia and in the
Soudan country.

ment protection on the Pacific Ocean
would add enormously to the volume OF
our commerce; besides, it would insure
the establishing of number of shipyards,
which in turn would give constant en-
pIoyment to thousands of men. Such
merchant marine as is provided for IN the
policy of the Republican party would
swell the trade and commerce OF San
Francisco by millions of dollars every year.
1t is good of Mr.. Sewall to recommend the
Republican party to the people OF Califor-
mia if they want TO transact their business
on business principles, but being ship
builder and ship-owner himself he knows
by experience how disastrous it is to fool
with the Democracy when business is to
be attended to.

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Sept. 1.-THE
Democratic state convention endorsed
the Chicago ticket and platform by a
practically unanimous vote, despite the
fact that the machinery of the party
was.in the hands of gold men. Twelve
members of the state committee, antici-
pating the upset to come, resigned their
positions and the vacancies were filed
by the selection of silver men. After
selection of presidential electors the fol-
lowing nominations for the several
state offices were made: Governor,
Joseph B. Sargent lieutenant gov
ernor, S. A. Crandall; secretary of
state, Homer S. Cummings; treasurer,
Adrian 2. Ross; comptroller, Edward
NJ. Ripley.
Despite the unanimity with which
the Democratic convention was con-
Quoted there is deep current of oppo-
sition to the ticket by gold sympathiz-
ers, whose leaders held a meeting in
Exchange building during the after
noon and discussed plans for cam

NEW YORK, Sept. l6.-The World
says: 1t was rumored late last night
that Alexander Sullivan of Chicago,
whose name figured in the Cronin
murder case, had been arrested in Paris
at the instance of the English police.
In connection with the rumor The
Worlds Chicago correspondent tele-
graphed the following:
Alexander Sullivan went abroad
two months ago to Carlsbad, so it is
said. Saturday night last his wife,
Margaret Sullivan, was stricken with
apoplexy and now is very i'll. She can
not be seen. Nothing definite is known
here, though it is rumored that Sulli-
van is iii trouble. 1t is said by Irish
men here that Sullivan would not have
gone into any dynamiting scheme now.
1t is possible that he may have been
arrested on the theory that he was an
Irish Invincible, but there is no evil
dence that he was even remotely con-
nected with the Invincibles.'
