Silver party for his state. Mr.. ThOmp-

Minneapolis. Aug. 4.-The Democratic
state convention met here today. The
committee on credentials reported rec
ommending the striking out of the
names of Dan Lawler. Frank w. Nc
Cutcheon and Judge McCafferty. J. n.
Bowditch, of Wabash, said he advised
this step because the men in question
were known to be goh delegates. The
report was adopted.
When the vote was announced the
greatest confusion ensued. Mr.. Lawler
tried to make himself heard, but his eff
forts were vain. The expelled men
then walked out of the hall, followed by
one whole delegation, of which they
were members. The platform as
adopted declared for the Chicago con-
vention; denounces the platform Of the
Republican party, and demands an
amendment to the constitution of the
United States providing for the election
of president and vice-president and
United States senators by the direct
vote of the people.
John Lind was the only one put up be-
fore the convention for candidate for
governor and received the nomination
by acclamation.

Presidenr Parker,s Opinion.

Mr.. EDIToR:-Replying TO your re-
quest for my individual reasons for
declining TO support the nominees of
the Chicago Convention, have TO say
that examination of the several plat
forms offered this year, affords view
of one above all others that bears
tenents which appeal to reason. It's
creation was at the hands OF many
well known men who are found in a
party that has successfully admins
tered this government. The other
platforms propose experiments that
as rule defy all historic precedent.
know tie career of the Republican
party during the thirty odd years of
its all but continuous administration
of the government; whatever its wis
dom in the past can be relied upon in
the future, therefore its platform of
1896 is wholly ineligible. In it l find
no purpose to defy precedent in the
debasement of the currency,-to aban-
don civil service in minor offices in be-
half of corrupt politics and to re-
construct the supreme court for
socialists purpose Of the division of
property under tl> name of tax
to invoke COVE lmenG 4 the control
OF private '.fairs in conformity to
populists' helplessness,--to neglect
constitutional authority for aiding
interstate commerce and facilitating
the transit of the United States mails
when anarchists local authority does
its mob work
But on the contrary, l find in the
Republican platform clearly express
ed purpose of maintaining in our
government all that has proved
to be wholesome for the mass of per-
sons, and am quite sure that out of
institutions as they are, the Republi
can party will provide for such
changes in legislation and constitu-
tion, as after thoughtful study, shall
be found permanently progressive.
cannot willingly trust my personal
interests nor my property TO the
control of men who are unknown TO
conservative action. / therefore pro-
pose to vote for Mckinley and Hobart.
w. ID. PARKER.

THE TOWN TURNS OUT
To Swell the Republican Rally.
A Big Meeting and an Overflow.

Hardly had the last noises Of the
football celebration died away last
Saturday before the prelude to the
Republican Rally was sounded, and
the streets began TO throng with peo-
pie interested in the doings of the
evening. A handsome flag with the
names of Mckinley and Hobart upon
it. was suspended over the street in
front Of the Gladstone, giving the
scene a touch of unusual animation.
Though the parade was necessarily a
trifle tame owing 10 the limited num-
Der of torches and campaign suits that
could be provided, it was somewhat OF
demonstration after all, and he lped
to start the crowd in the right direc-
ton.
The band headed the line and led
the horsemen and torch-bearers a
short march up Second street and
then back the length of Main to the
Opera Hall. Here a bonfire was
blazing which continued the illumina-
ton begun by the fireworks of Chap
man Brothers. 1t was already found
by those who tried to enter the hall
that it was packed from the platform
to the door. Accordingly Judge
Weld, after introducing Hon. Elihu
Coleman to his audience, took his
way 20 the street and made an i'm
promptu address to the crowd.
In the meanwhile Mr.. Coleman in
a calm, straightforward lecture gave
an exposition of the Republican plat
form. 1t was conservative and sub
dued, no extravagant promise of flush
times. no. lurid denunciation of the
opposite party. 1t was rather clear
easy assurance of safety, from a man
who believes in the honesty of hi:
party and distinctly sees its ap
p-oaching victory. 1t was, in short
quite in keeping with the dignity OF
the Republican campaign.
The people listened with genuine
interest, albeit some of them were
crowded into very uncomfortable, not
to say distracting, positions. Hearty
applause was given wherever occasion
offered. and in the end three rouslnt
cheers were sent up for Mckinley anC
Hobart. Altogether it was a greal
manifestation in favor of sount
money.

ANOTHER GAME
Which Saltwater FOrfeits.
Bad Football and Big Celebration
Score 100.

Bad Football and Big Celebration
Score 1910.
Saturday was an ideal day for foot
ball, and the largest crowd that has
yet come out to see game overran
the Normal campus at two O'Clock to
watch the lineup between the home
team and the Saltwater eleven 1t
was seen at the start that the game
promised trouble, and before the half
ended the Saltwater team, prompted
by the interference of its rather too
interested following, left the field in a
milf. The real point at issue was a
foul tackle, though the immediate
occasion for Stillwater's withdrawal
was the question of who should put
the balm play after "time" was called.
Stillwaters action was attended with
a little too much of the bullying ele-
ment to seem perfectly sincere, while
the conduct of Captain Kircher on be-
half of the Normals was marked by
none of that spirit of Cancellation
which should characterize the winning
team.
The visitors won the toss and chose
the ball, the Normals taking their
choice of goal. After scrimmage or
two the Normals, by good blocking,
got the ball, and kept it the greater
part of the time during the twenty
two minutes of play. They soon had
a touchdown, to which Purves added
a goal In the next move Saltwater
man ran % yards with the ball before
he was downed by Hatch. A foul
tackle was claimed by the Normals
but they yielded the point and the
% yards. Soon getting the ball again,
however, they took it over the line for
a touchdown. At this point Still
water claimed a foul, and time was
called to settle the dispute that arose.
The discussion came to naught, and
Kircher demanded that the ball
should be put in play, which was done
at a signal from the umpire. Upon
this Saltwater, declaring that the
TtltEtC ulu iiub tolNul III bilC oi- hdi'
left the field, while the crowd cheered
its loudest and footed its tin horns
yOciferously.
The two teams then marched to
town, each followed by a sympathizing
crowd and babbling its songs of sor-
row. The Normals formed in lock-
step and marched up Main, while the
girls fluttered along the side walks
and blew tin horns. The Saltwater
men soon made themselves known by
display of bright banners and re-
peated cheering. A clash which
seemed quite imminent, was only
ayerted through the tact Of the city
marshal. who was everywhere present
setting a gentlemanly example. At
the train last yolley of cheers was
thrown out by either side and few
trophies were taken by the victors.
