MIR. HARRISON
TO MAKE SPEECHES
The Ex-President to Take Part in the
Closing Work of the Campaign.
Will Be Heard in New York.

BY Exclusive Wire from The Associated Press
New York, Oct. 2.-Concerning the
report that ex-President Harrison, who
came to the city last night, with his
family would likely make few
speeches during the campaign. it was
learned during the day that the ma
tional campaign committee wrote him
about month ago asking him to take
some active part in the campaign. Mr..
Harrison replied asking the comittee
not to press him to make any speeches
early in the campaign. He explained
that he had overworked himself In the
Venezuelan boundary dispute and need
ed several weeks of complete rest. He
added that he would be in New York
early in October on some legal busl-
ness and would then put himself in
communication with the national COM
mittee. 1t Is now said on the highest
authority that Ben Harrison will not
be asked to make any speeches until
nearly the close of the campaign-till
after Governor Roosevelt has made
his tour of New York state. Then he
will take the stump and make several
speeches, at least two of which are to
be delivered in this city.
Senator Scott called on ex-President
Harrison at the latter's hotel and said
afterward that Mr.. Harrison will re-
main here ten or eleven days and will
be able to speak, probably within that
time. If he should not be able to de-
liver an address. said Senator Scott.
he will write letter giving his views
and showing his position and the let
ter will favor Mckinley.

OPERATORS ARE
IN NO HURRY
They Are Willing to Await the
Pleasure Of the Men in the Mat
ter Of Accepting Increase.

BY Exclusive Wire from The Associated Press.
Wilkes Barre, Oct. 2.-The coal oper-
ators of the Wyoming valley who post
ed notices at their collieres last night
notifying their employees of a~1O per
cent. increase in wages, had no infor-
nation from their men today as to
whether the offer would be accepted or
not. They thought the strikers were
too busy with the parade and mass
meeting to take any action. The oper-
ators are in no hurry and will wait
the pleasure of the strikers. The
miners, however, have about made up
their minds that they will not consid-
er the offer. The increase they say.
is mere trihe and not worthy of con-
sideration.
The fact that the operators have
made what appears to be IA studied ef-
fort to ignore the miners union. is
what gals the strikers most. They
say it is useless to talk of a settlement
unless the presidents of the big coal
companies make up their minds to re-
cognize the union. One of the officers
of the United Mine Workers council
of this district said today:
II don't see how an agreement can
be reached so long as the union Is left
out of the negotiations. The operators
might as well understand now as later
on that the union has come to stay
and that it will insist on its demands
being granted

DEMOCRATS MEET
State Convention at Boston Nomi-
mates Ticket Headed by Robert
Treat Paine-The Platform

BY Exclusive Wire from The Associated Press
Boston, Oct. 2.-Robert Treat Paine
will again head the ticket which the
Democrats of this state will oe asked
to support at the coming election, The
platform adopted declares the domin-
ant question to be the continuance of
government by consent of the gov
erned; declares the Porto Rico law Is
an outrage on the liberties of the peo-
pie; calls for a free constitution for
Cuba, and In the Philippines a speedy
restoration of Independence, opposes
any alliance, open and secret, with any
foreign nation; condemns company
stores in the coal fields; condemns use
less commissions in the state; calls
for reductions in railroad rates and
more power for the railroad commits
sion; calls for the initiative and refer
endum, also an inheritance tax and
municipal ownership of public utilities
and condemns the Albany lease as a
robbery of the state.
An innovation was the reading of
the Declaration Of Independence pre-
vious to beginning the work of the
convention, this preliminary being
deemed fitting in view of the fact that
this convention was held on the anni-
versary of the first election of Jeffer-
son.

MR.. QUAY DID NOT SPEAK.
Attendants at Norristown Rally Are
Disappointed.

BY Exclusive Wire from The Associated Press.
Norristown, Oct. 2.-The regular Re-
publicans tonight formally opened their
campaign in this city by mass meet
Ing in the court house. Colonel Quay
had been advertised to speak, but the
ex-senator excused himself on the plea
of Illness disappointing big crowd
which had gathered to hear him.
When the ex-senator appeared on the
stage with Governor Stone, Attorney
General Elkins and the others Of the
party, he was given a rousing cheer.
He excused himself from speaking, but
the audience pressing him, he said:
ut won't do to call Bryan an ass.
He is an honest man, and will carry
out his opinions. He favors silver at
16 to /, and all the other vagaries he
breaches. 1t will not do to tri1e with
the present crisis"
With these few remarks Colonel
Quay gave way to Elkin.
The audience expected repetition
of his West Chester utterances, and
when he excused himself there was a
general expression of disappointment.
The audience, however, became en-
thusiastic over the strong Republican
speeches of Governor Stone, Attorney
General Elkins, Congressman Fairless.

viewing stand, before which the long
procession passed In review, occupying
more than an hour. There were many
unique and amusing features In the
parade.
After the procession had passed in
review, Governor Roosevelt was con-
Quoted to a speakers stand. where he
spoke for three quarters Of an hour,
going over the same ground In his re-
marks as he has Travelled over before
upon the issues Of expansion, militar-
ism. Imperialism and patriotism. His
remarks were punctuated by frequent
cheers. At the conclusion of his speech,
on his way from the stand to his car
riage, he was fairly mobbed by a Wild
ly eager crowd who wished to shake
his hand. The train then pulled out
for Plattsmouth. where an evening
meeting was held. The evening meet
ing at Plattsmouth was also a great
success in point OF numbers and inter-
est. This meeting closed the days
itinerary.
There was a large crowd at Grand
Island to meet the arrival of the Roose-
welt train this morning, and here the
governor left the train and spoke from
a stand a dozen blocks away in the
center Of the city. He prefaced his re-
marks by calling attention to the pros
perity Of all classes now existing, and
asked his hearers to compare 1t with
the economic conditions of four years
ago and act accordingly. He appealed
also to the young men who were cast
ing their votes for the first or second
time to cast them for the party which
has always been working for the honor
Of the flag and the greatness Of the
nation.
While delivering his speech at Au-
rora, Governor Roosevelt was inter-
rupted by man who cried out: "What
about the trusts?"
Governor Roosevelt-"what trust do
YOU mean?"
Inquirer-"Oh, the ice trust, beef
trust, the oil trust and all of them"
Governor Rooseveit-"Shall tell you
about Chairman Jones' cotton bale
trust, or Richard Croker's ice trust ?"
Governor Roosevelt continued: "He
puts the question in good faith, and
will try to answer it in good faith. The
each state by itself A denunciation
nected with action. Democratic de-
nunciation OF trusts amounts to moth
ing when Mr.. Jones. chairman of the
national Democratic committee, Is at
the head Of the cotton bale trust. and
when Mr.. Croker, the leader Of the
New York Democracy. has a large
ownership in another. These facts con-
Wet them Of insincerity, and that is all
there is about 1t.
There was a chance to give the ma
tional government power to deal with
trusts awhile ago, when the Republi-
can party in congress submitted n
resolution for an amendment to the
constitution in June, giving the ma
tional government power to deal with
trusts.
"That measure was supported by
every Republican but two in congress
and voted against by every Democrat
but four in congress. That Is what
about the trusts and that is not talk,
my friend, but Deeds"
