Pittsburg. Pa. Jan. 9.-The coal miners

Dolan. OF PittsbUrg. Mr.. DOlan Claims that
Senator Mark Hanna is using his infu-

sation in the convention is promised
In opening the convention President
Ratchford congratulated the delegates upoI
the large attendance and expressed hope
for a harmonious session. BY his direction
Secretary Pearce read the call for the
convention.
The first clash between the contending
factions occurred when President Ratch
ford asked Chairman Keenan,, OF the
credentials committee for a report. Mr..
Keenan, was not ready. President Dolan,
of the Pittsburg district, moved that
crcdential committee be appointed from
the convention. and that each district be
allowed to name its members. President
Ratchford declared the motion unconsti-
tutional and Mr.. Dolan appealed being
seconded by Secretary treasurer Lewis, o.
Ohio.
w R. Farley. of Alabama was called
to the chair and the argument proceeded.
The debate continued until afternoon.
when a vote was taken Mr.. Dolan's
motion was defeated. 207 to 12i. The con-

EarmarLs of the Millennium.

The proceedings in the Senate yester-
day. considered in connection with things
which have happened antecedently there
and elsewhere in connection with the ques-
tion of expansion, would seem to Justify
the suspicion that the two great American
parties may be getting ready to celebrate
the advent of new century by general
breakup
When men like Hoar and Vest are found
in company lighting for the enemies of
their ccuntry's progress; when other
strange companions like Morgan and Plat
are seen sinking the party differences of
hundred years. and working together
harmoniously for the patriotic purpose of
the day: and when Bryan and Carnegie
are observed in the act of pooling their
personal interests and vanities in an ef-
fort TO stop the national clock, surely there
is reason 10 fancy that the political lines
that are used to divide Americans into
homogeneous hostile camps are we'll on
the way toward obliteration
The possibility of such a thing is not
particularly painful to us. On the con-
;rary' it suggests the advent of a splendid
era in which the more intelligent and
American of Republicans will assimi-
late with what will he left of the Demo-
cratic party. after it regurgitates the
Hessians and Tories who disturb its inter-
nal economy, and together establish and
maintain the Democratic principles and
policy of Thomas Jefferson exemplified
when he took over Louisiana from Ma
poieon, and Of James Monroe. the states
man who negotiated the cession.
