THE ANTI-IMPERIALIsTs.
They Gather For Their Convention
In InNinMnnOlia.


Indianapolis, Aug 13.-Delcgates and
visitors to the two anti-imperialist CON
ventions, which are to meet here this
week, are arriving. The number is net
gieat, but il is believed that more will
come in subsequent trains. The first an
rival of the national party is Robert n.
Widcmann of New York. The hope of
the promoters Of the national party is to
form coalition with the Amti-Imperialist
league either formally or in effect.
Mr.. Widemann says there are three
courses open to the anti-imperialists-
namely, to maintain Il third ticket, to in
dorse Bryan, or 10 do neither and merely
work TO defeat Mckinley. He says that
Bryan is regarded By the anti-imperial-
lists as the less dangerous of the two old
party candidates.
The first session Of the nationals Will
be held in the assembly rooms of the
Commercial club. The convention will
probably take up the subject of nomi-
Mating a third ticket.
Louis Il. Enrich Of Colorado, who
reached the city today, will be president
of the convention. Isaac IL. Klein of
New York will be secretary.

Of all the nominations to be
made, the minority the first

Or, second: That the voters Of

legislative candidates; that loyal

Of any kind upon the members
thereof as to their disposition Of
the matter:
That, if the foregoing propo-
sitions should seem to be unfair,
in that it is denied that the ma

Union Republican party, and
that the foregoing propositions
are therefore a covert attempt to
gain a political advantage that
could not be had by an appeal to

That all the foregoing propo-

The offer Of the Republicans
to hold joint or common prim-
airy elections in New Castle
county for the selection of Re-
publican condidates has been
rejected by the Union Republic
cans. This refusal came close
upon the announcement that
the Union Republican mama
gers had decided to name men
of their own arbitrary selection
for the three principal officers
to be voted for on the state
ticket. In spite OF the promises
made the National Convention
n Philadelphia that the Repub
licans would elect their ticket
in the state, and the further
promise that every effort would
be made to bring about a har-
mony of action on the part OF
all Republicans in this state,
the Union Republican organi-
3ation now stands in the atti-
tide OF an opponent of the Re-
prblican party. Itstands as an
assassin, ready to stab the Re-

When the men had gone about 30 miles
their bicycles broke down and they bad

for several hours before he could speak.
He then told of his comrades. Two
men with jugs Of water tied on their
saddles went back in search Of the
missing men. One was found Is miles

Chicago, August 27.-Unless the
plans of the leaders miscarry every un.
ion man connected with the Building
Trades Council will be called out ON q
strike before Labor Day.
The plumD Ders have already been or
dered out and the intention is that all
other unions whose men are working
shall follow suit. Owing to increased
activity in the building trades within
the last few days. many union men
have been put to work, in some places
with the consent of the business agents,
and 1t is the purpose of the unions to
stop the work wherever the bosses be-
iieved they had won . victory and
show them that tho labor organizations
are still in the fight. The business
agent of one of the largest unions said:
Contractors have come to believe
that it is comparatively easy sailing for
them now, and accordingly have been
undertaking some large jobs with the
idea that there would be no further
.rouble from the unions. They will
find to their disgust that many of the
men whom they supposed to be nom
union men have become mem bers of the
unions and they will sipmly be unable
to do any work. 1t is the only thing
that is left the unions unless they pro-
pose to give up their fight. The idea
Of helping the contractors along thei
Jobs has been q mistake which is gen.
srally recognized now and they will
lind there is lot of fight left among
