IN the nomination of the Hon.
Benton McMillin, democracy has
found an able debator, an expert
enced leader. and man whose in
tegrity cannot be impeached. He
is an ambitious man, too, and his
ambition lies in the direction of
making a good name for himself and
leaving his impress upon the coun-
try. He will not be content to draw
the Governors meagre salary, and
run the office in a slip-shOd sort Of
fashion; neither will he be satisfied
with cabinet of that sort; but he
will gather around him the best
men he can find for the several of
fees under his control. and he will
administer the high Office in dig
nified, clean, honest and economical
manner. The time for improve.
ment, retrenchment and retOrfH is
ripe, and in the election of Mr.. Nc
Millin the people will have the hope
for better thugs.

THE nominee was agreed on and
practically nominated before the
Chattanooga convention met; the
platfOra was likewise drawn and
passed upon before the convention
met; and it is fortunate it was so.
for the convention itself was how
ling mob and disgrace to the Dem
ocratic party. Such rowdy behavior
is utterly disgusting to sober,
thoughtful men, interested in a bust
ness way in public affairs, and that
is one reason why so many of them
eschew politics. These hoodlums
have no respect for anybody. A
few years ago, when Benton McMil-
lin had been called upon to address
the convention, they tried to howl
him down. 1t is a reflection upon
the party that such men are chosen
as delegates.

The platform adopted by the
Democratic Convention in Chatta-
nooga, is all right. 1t is sound De-
mOcracy, and contains several prac-
tical suggestions looking to a more
economical administration of state
affairs. 1t is one that any good citi-
zen may cOnscientiously vote for,
and if lived up to will redown
greatly to the material good of the
people of Tennessee.

The twelve thousand five hun
dred dollars donated by patriotic
and public spirited citizens of Co
lumbia to purchase the Arsenal
grounds, is proving quite a fine in
vestment for the town, Major Greer's
payroll will soon pay back that sum
with compound interest, and the
wages he pays are about twice those
of the average factory.

its death. The little child was playing

There was nothing said at the In

PREDICTS HARMONY.
Williams Gives His Views of the conven-
ton and the Platform.

George Fred Williams held an infor-
NAL reception in the corridor on the
second floor during a part Of the eve
ming, and talked freely with the dele
gates, many of whom he has been in
timately associated with in the past
A Spy reporter found him thus en-
gagged, and questioned him in regard
to some of the topics that will in all
probability be brought up at the con-
vention this morning. He said that
the platform as outlined would un-
doubtedly be adopted, and that it was
in the main a reiteration of the Chi
cago PLATFORM but that it contained
some few new features
In regard to the imperialistic policy
of the party, he thought personally
that the party would do well to be
somewhat conservative. He did not
wish to be thought an extremist, but
would advocate the maintenance of
coaling stations in all of the Philippines
and perhaps the entire possession of
the island of Luzon. The other ISL
ands of the group were inhabited by
class of people who were not capable
Of self government. He thought that
these possessions, as well as Hawaii,
should be annexed as territorial pos
sessions. In regard to Cuba, he thought
that we should maintain control over
the island until such time as a stable
government has been put in force and
the people found capable of governing
themselves. He said that there was
entire harmony within the party in re-
gard to the main questions involved
and he predicts very quiet, harmoni-

he might want to make another, ac-
cepting the honor
The Springfield delegation was
strongly opposed to the nomination of
Williams, and the delegates say that
nearly all the representatives present
from the western part Of the state
would vote against the Dedham states
man. This does not mean that they
are opposed to the Chicago platform,
which Williams represents. They are
opposed to him because they think he is
a weak votes etter.
Some of the delegates are standing
out strongly against the Bruce boom.
One man said it was an unheard Of
thing to nominate a man for governor
who only few days ago was turned
down by the democracy in every ward
Of his own city, and, as he said, in
every other city and large town in the
fifth congressional district. He in
weighed bitterly against using the hon.
orable nomination for governor to help
elect a member of congress in a single
district in the state. If that was go
ing to be done right along he declared
that the democracy would not elect an
other governor in this commonwealth
in the next 20 years, and did not de-
serve to.
The Worcester spy. [volume] (Worcester, Mass.) 1898-1904, 1898-10-04
DOESN'T LIKE HIM.
Why Williams Doesn't Want the Man from
Lawrence Named.

There is a movement on foot to
make up a committee at large for the
state committee that will be entirely
loyal to George Fred Williams. During
the past year it is intimated that Mr..
Williams has felt good deal of dis
trust of three members of the state
committee at large, who are as follows:
Daniel f. Rourke of Worcester, James
f. Owens of Lowell and Thos. T. Dom
avian of Salem. Donavan is one of the
men who engineered a meeting of Els
sex county democrats at Salisbury
beach last summer, which was intended
to be the nucleus for an anti Williams
organization in that county. 1t was not
his fault that the scheme did not go
through, owing to the determined OPP
position of Williams men who were
present from Lawrence, Lynn and New
buryport.
1t is also limited here that George Fred
does not intend to see Alexander
Bruce Of Lawrence nominated for gov
ernor today, owing to some things that
he has heard in regard to that gentle
man. MIR. Bruce is one of the large
stockholders in the Haverhill, Law
renee and Lowell Street Railway Com
pany, which has recently had consid-
cradle trouble with it's motormen and
abliged to take out indemnity bonds in a
certain insurance company in order to
protect the corporation from any dam
age through their operation Of the cars.
A good deal of feeling developed against
Mr.. Bruce during his canvass for the
congressional domination owing to the
action of tins street railway corpora
ton and his connection with it. Mr.
Williams had also heard that the Breen
faction in Lawrence has been for-many
years antagonistlc to Bruce, and it would
probably still be in opposition to him
were he nominated for governor. All
these things have been brought to the
attention of the party leaders and are
under consideration by them at this
time. Whether they will finally con-
clude to oppose the nomination of Bruce
remains to be seen.
| But one of the things that some of
the Boston delegates intimate may
come to pass today, Is the nomination
of Mr.. Williams himself One of his
followers stated last night that Will
| liams would go on the floor Of the con-
vention tomorrow and make the great
est effort Of his life in speech which
was expected to stampede that body as
Bryan stampeded the Chicago conven-
ton in 1896, and possibly result in the
conviction that after all he is the best
man to nominate for governor.

Charles Devens Council Adopt Resolutions
on Soldier Member
Gen. Charles Devens Council, No. IA.
10. u. A. M, held a memorial service
in honor Of Corporal Marvin #. Ames,
Of H Co., I'd Mass, at Granite hall, last
night, that was largely attended. Vice
Councillor c. s. Drown presided, and a
touching eulogy was delivered by
Charles F. Stevens, Esq, with whom
Corporal Ames was associated in the
law business. The committee on reso-
lutions, which was named at late
meeting, presented the following, which
were adopted:
Resolved: Whereas, the Divine Coun-
cilor has called our beloved brother
here to the council above.
Therefore, be it resolved that while
his presence here will be greatly missed
and there will be vacant chair in our
council that will never be filed; yet
the memory of his honest, upright
manhood of his social, genial ways,
will linger with US in cheerful remem-
brance.
Resolved, that while we regret his
being thus early taken from our midst,
yet we feel proudly thankful that he
met his fate as a true and faithful SOL
der should, nobly performing every
duty laid upon him to the end that the
honor Of country and flag shall be
maintained and in alternating the suf-
fering Of his comrades in arms.
Resolved, that we recognize the no.
bleness of that patriotism that he ex-
emplified by his enlistment in the
United States volunteer service. And
that by so doing he sacrificed all his
ambition and bright prospects of sue
cess, that after years Of arduous
study and unceasing work he was upon
the threshold Of enjoying II. his chosen
profession.
Resolved, that we offer his family
our sincere sympathy and entreat them
to remember that How long we live
not years but noble actions tell" His
life being rounded out with heroism and
noble deeds though short in years, win
count for more than mary years of
useless idleness.
Resolved, that copy Of these reso-
lutions be spread upon the records Of
the council and that copy be sent to
his family and inserted in the ds..iy
papers.
