The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1900-07-26

that the treasurer. Mr. Franzel, be in
structed and directed to pay this sum Of
money now in our treasury to that
splendid Democrat, the able leader Of the
Democrats of the East, Hon. David B.
Hill, TO use as his judgment may direct
Gentlemen, 1 shall not encroach upon
the time or patience of this committee in
bringing before it the political condi-
tiops which existed in the state of Ken
lucky. No man who is self respecting
can IN our state support government
by assassination. When that great frieiid
of the common people, William Goebel,
was foully and cruelty murdered, there
was and is before us in Kentucky, an
issue that reaches far beyond any ma
tional issue. Murder must and shall be
punished under and with the law, even
if Indiana has to elect another governor
who will recognize the just and legal re-
quest of a sister state in demanding
fugitive from justice.
NO FUSION.
The withdrawal of Mr. Haldeman from
the committee and all further connec-
ton with the gold Democratic organiza-
ton. Expressions OF regret were made by
number of the gentlemen present, and
praise OF the Kentucky member for the
valuable aid he had rendered in the past.
When the vote on the question of fusion
and the nomination of a third ticket was
taken, Mr.. G. Woodbury., of New Hamp-
shire proved to be the only committeeman
the vote stood twenty-six to one against
the proposition. Mr.. Woodbury. at once
moved that the vote be made unanimous,
and this was done.
A committee of three was then appoint
ed to draft a manifesto setting out the
position Of the national Democracy re-
garding the issues now before the people,
and the committee then adjourned to re-
ceiye the subcommittee report.
CALL FOR CONVENTION.
The committee appointed at the con-
ference held at the Plaza hotel New
York, gave out the following state
ment and call for convention to be
held i'll this city Aug. IA. 1t is as follows:
Ihe national committee of the gold
Democrats have brought the usefulness
OF that organization to point where it
voter to place in the field such a plat
form and candidates as they can sup
port. That can only be done by form
ing q party that will stand against both
old parties. We believe the anti-impe-
rialIsts have done splendid work in re-
calling the republic to the Ideas of the
founders, and we believe the interests of
the people can be better saved by a
third party than otherwise. We believe
that many people who have not hereto
fore been identified with the anti-impe-
rlalists will signify their approval of our
action In order to meet this end
mass convention is hereby called to meet
at indianapolis a t 8 p. m, on the i4ta
day of August, 1900, to nominate or CO.
operate in the nomination of candidates
for president and president upon
platform substantially as follows:
'"Ihe Republican party is conducting an
Indirect attack upon the institutions of
our country AT home it corrupts pub
lie morals by selling public offices and
private privileges to the highest contribu-
tors to party assessments; abroad 1t con-
ducts a war of conquest in violation of
the principles of the declaration of in
dependence.
THE Democratic party is conducting
direct attack upon the institutions of our
country. 1t advocates dishonest money
and threatens the integrity of the judtci-
ary No man serves well his country
who joins in either of these attacks. Par
tial to neither, therefore, but opponents
TO both, we found new party on The
following lines:
''First-Independen to Cuba, the Phil
ippine ISLANDS, Porto Rico, and the Ha-
Waiian islands.
''Second-The single gold standard and
a sound banking system
'"Third-The abolition Of special privi-
leges
Fourth--A civil service system based on
merit only.
This call is addressed to all opposed to
the candidates and platforms of the DEM
ocratic and Republican parties. Those
who favor the movements are requested
to send their name and addresses to the
temporary headquarters, No. 141 Broad
way, New York.
