Ouray Agency, Utah, Oct. 5.-There
was a hot time at Ouray today, and
as a consequence the three commits

wore twe-by-four smiles tonight. The

and they have accomplished in d few
weeks what their predecessors failed
to achieve in six months
AT 10 o'clock this morning. with old
Sol shining his brightest. the three
members OF the Uncle Sans allOting
brigade, with Captain Beck and several
others, drove to Ouray. Chief Chaven-
aux followed close 10 their trail and IN
one hour the place was alive with IN
dians in gala attire
owing TO the absence Of AIhandra,
the official interpreter. there was a
hitch in the proceedings until il was
agreed that John McArdreWs should
act for both parties. He is very popu-
lar among the members Of the tribe
and the choice was well made. Last
night ChdVH1aux had thought it best
to postpone the council, on account Of
Aihandra's absence. but today he was
fully satisfied to carry it on.
At , o'clock the Ddu opened with
Captain Beclz's Introduction speech
He said: we meet mere again today,
since we arrived at no conclusion last

He then stated the case fully, as told

taking particular care TO impress CT

He laid great stress on Jae lGcJ lnaI

CHICAGO PLATFORM CHEERED.

Jerome O'Nein, of the central labor
union, presided. The chairman men
ton the Chicago platform, whereupon
the entire audience rose to its feet as
one man. haas and handkerchiefs were
waved in the air and the cheering con-
tinued for seVe"al minutes. The sec
rotary then read kilograms from c. a.

man, encourag ing the movement for the
election Of Henry George.
Charles O'Connor Hennessy, in MAX
ing the nomination OF Mr.. George, said
simply:
NOMINATED BY ACCLAMATION.
Il have no speech to make, but I
nominate for mayor of Greater New
York, Henry George"
This was followed by a frantic out
burst of cheering, and the nomination
was made by reclamation. William
McMurtrie Speer then moved an eXecu-
tive committee of five be appointed by
the chair with power to add to their
number to select the remaining candi-
dates on the ticket. and to carry cut
the campaign. The resolution was
passed. The secretary then read the
following platform. which was adopted:
THE PLATFORM.
The platform reaftirms adherence to
the creed of Democracy, set forth in the
platform adopted by the national con-
vention of the Democratic party at
Chicago, July ., 1895. and declares our
allegiance to the principles enunciated
in that document, prCnouncing them
the formal expression of the spirit of
true Democracy, and we point in cor
roboration of this belief to the fact that
the mere PRONUNCIATION of the doctrines
drove from the Democratic party those
who for corrupt, mercenary or ambi-
tious ends, had striyen TO make it a
menace to the rights and liberties of
| the people, rather than the defender"
/ The platform sends greetings to the
gallant leader of the Democratic
party. William Jennings Bryan" The
remainder is devoted to purely local
matters.
The platform hints at the single tax
| by declaring for the "reassumption of
diverted wealth through wise, equitable
and scientific taxation" 1t demands
/ the repeal of the Raines excise law
and continues:
"Deploring with full hearts the mas

cession, we call the attention of the

ing on the farmers. The wind, rain
and hail storm extended from the
northern boundary of the State to the
gulf on the south, and was about hum
dred miles in width. Many places we're
only lightly touched. Several persons
have been killed by lightning and stock
has suffered severely. The greatest
damage has been done to the crops.
Wheat and o ITS were ready to harvest,
but have been beaten down and badly
matted. Corn was high enough to suf-
fer materially from both wind and hail.
Cotton is the greatest sufferer. There
were many complaints of lice from
almost every section of central and
southern Texas. The cool weather
succeeding the storm will add to the
ravages of the pest and it may be
expected that reports will be heartrend-
