GOLD DEMOCRATS
Meet and Decide to Call Indepen-
dents In Conference.

NEW YORK, July 1s.-In response to a
call issued a few days ago a number Of
gold Democrats and anti-imperialists met
in this city tonight to discuss the meth
DDS of bringing third party ticket be-
fore the public.
An address was adopted assailing Pres
ident Mckinley for his Philippine policy
and his scandalous appointments''' 10
federal offices; characJe-fzing Gov. Roose-
Velt as the frank embodiment of mill
tarism," and declaring that the Repub-
lican party stands for all forms OF spe-
cial privileges.
Mr. Bryan, the address says, is as OBJ
jectionable as President Mckinley.
"A vote for the Democratic ticket,
says the address, means vote for free
silver; it means a still further debauch-
ing of the civil service, a packing of the
supreme court with men to be governed
by the will of the executive"
The address asks independents to unite
In the support of candidates upon some
such satisfactory policy, as follows:
First-The return to the. political doc
trines of the Declaration Of Independence
and the constitution.
Second-The recognition that not only
Cuba and the Philippines. but Porto
Rica and Hawaii, are independent,
Third-Genuine monetary reform.
Fourth-Civil service reform.
Fifth-The abolition Of special priv
ileges, whether of tariff or any other
origin.
We are not concerned solely with this
selection, but with the future Of Amer
lean political life. We are ready and
anxious TO poin with others in forming
a party which shall adopt a platform
presenting these issues
Speeches were made on the address by
Dr. Everett of Massachusetts; George g.
Ripley, Of Michigan, and others.
A resolution was adopted authorizing
the chair to appoint committee to issue
an invitation to supporters of the third
ticket movement to meet in Indianapolis
on July %, to take such steps as may be
necessary to place such a ticket in the
field.

The Standard. In an alarmist editorial,
says:
1T is useless any longer to hide from
ourselves the fact that China has de-
clared war on civilization, and has
plunged into the conflict with rabid fren-
zy. 1t is equally futile to discuss whether
hostilities are being waged by the Chi
nese government inasmuch as it is evi-
dent that an administration OF some kind
exists and is directing the anti-foreign
movement. Until unmistakable evidence
eXculpating the Picking government is
promptly forthcoming, the powers should
treat China as a belligerent state and
act accordingly"
