His Letter Accepting DemOcrltic
Nomination Given Out.
William j. Bryan in his letter accept
ing the nomination for President by the
Democratic party, while declaring that
Imperialism is the most important ques-
ton before the American people, opens
with a discussion of trusts. In the let
ter he declares that no defense Of trusts
can be offered, and that if elected he win
favor the dissolution of every private
monopoly which does business outside OF
the State of its origin
He declares the Dingley tariff law is
trust-breeding measure He fayors en-
larged powers for the interstate COM
sition of the Democratic party on the
money question and says its position has
not changed since four years ago. He
favors the election of Senators by direct
vote of the people. He deals at some
length with labor questions, denouncing
government by injunctioG and the black
list and favoring Arbitration and a de-
partment of labor IN the cabinet. The
exclusion of Chinese and similar Asiatic
peoples is favored He favors generous
pension laws a Nicaragua canal, state
hood for Arizona, Oklahoma and New
Mexico, home rule and representation in
Congress for Porto Rico and Alaska, and
a system for the reclamation Of arid
lands, and an income tax. He questions
the ability of the Republican party to
work out the welfare Of the Cubans For
eign alliances are opposed.

ly crippled forces. President Nichols of
District No. / reports that the entire
Wyoming and Lackawanna districts are
tied up completely with the exception
of one small corporation employing $50
men. He said about 10000 men are out.
National Organizer Harris, from Shame
kin, made what President Mitchell des-
ignated as an equally satisfactory report
of the Schuylkill region. Public meet
ings were held at Jeddo, West Halle
ton, HARDWOOD and McAdoo. President
Mitchell addressed the West Hazleton
and McAdoo gatherings, while Organizer
Courtwright spoke at the Harwood meet
ing.
In the Lehigh region. it is said, about
5000 of the 10000 mine employees have
quit work Nearly all the efforts OF the
strike leaders are being devoted to organ
izing the men in the Schuylkill and Les
high regions, where they are weakest.
The strike came off officially with little
excitement, but surrounded with all kind
of doubt The United Mine Workers
leaders seemed to be the only ones who
came near to the figures. The attempts
of Father Phillips to have the troubles
arbitrated are thought by a number of
leaders to have slightly injured the cause
of the strikers, because he seemed to
place them in an equivocal position, in
which they refused to accept arbitration
when it was offered them, although they
claimed TO be fighting for it.
Representatives os the miners are try
