MICHIGAN DEMOCRACY.
INSTRUCTS DELEGATES TO SUP
PORT MIR. BRYAN
(By Telegraph to Virglnian- Pilots

(By Telegraph to Virginian- Pllot.)
Port Huron. Mich, May 1.-The first
State political convention of the year
in Michigan was held here to-day. when
the Democratic representatives from a
counties elected the delegates to the
National Convention and adopted con-
else resolutions embodying their views
on the political issues of the times
Three of the four delegates at large
were elected unanimously, but the
three -corncrcd fight which ensued over
election of the fourth developed enough
acrimony to quite offset for the time
being the harmony which had prevail
ed up to that point. Following are the
delegates at large: Daniel j. Campau.
eff Aattaa.eit; -EllAlaa8&sss- -EarliMnrth of
Jackson; Wellington r. Burt, of Sagi-
nav; Rush Culver, of Marquette.
In addition to his own unanimous
election as first delegate at large
State Chairman Campau won an easy
victory in the selection of the other
candidates in the State which he had
favored.
The platform adopted reafilrms the
Chicago platform and dnstructs dele
gates to cast the vote of the State for
William j. Bryan for President and
heartily approves OF the nomination of
Charles y. Towne, of Minnesota, for
Vice President as eminently fitted to
serve Us "a joint standard bearer with
our great leader in the coming cam
pagn.'
The platform condemns he Republic
can state administration as corrupt
and scandalous:" favors the initiative
and referendum to prevent injurious
legislation; opposes greenback retire
ment; militarism and n large standing
army; favors federal income tax and
popular election of United States SEN
ators and extends sympathy to the
South African Republics in their gal
liant fight Tor life. liberty and home.'
1t condemns the action of the Repubi-
can majority in Congress aId of Pre-
sident Mckinley lin refusing to be
bound by the constitution in the gov
eminent OF Porto Rico and of the other
islands recently acquired from Spain
and in putting the United States in
the attitude OF having the most des-
potic and tyrannical colonial policy of
any modern nation" The platform
continues:
We denounce the whole Republican
scheme of imperial presidential depen-
denotes. not only as unconstitutional
but as extremely impolitic and unwise,
and unworthy Of liberty loving Ameri-
cans
1--WE believe this policy has been die
tated to and forced upon the Admins
tration of President Mckinley by the
mercenary combinations. known as
trusts. The trust is supreme in politi-
cal as In industrial activities. In both
1t is an unmixed public evil. We re-
quest our delegates to the National
Convention to urge upon that body the
selection of the most practical and eff
feetiye of the many plans for curtailing
the powers of the trusts and to pledge
the party to specific legislation upon
the lines adopted
1--WE still indorse the movement for
the historic union of gold and silver rs

TRUSTS DEFENDED.
Mr.. Sewall OF New Jersey, designated
the Standard Oil Company and the
American Sugar Refining Company as
cheapened their products to the people.
This "Populistic sentiment" about
trusts. he said. WAS the adoption of the
small ways of the past of transacting
business. and it was not in any respect
based upon good sense.
Mr.. Berry said K was well understood
that the object of such combinations
was to raise prices
MI. Hawley opposed the amendment
rs officers would have to accent lowest
bids.
Mr.. Stewart took the ground that IT
rad thus far been Impossible to frame
such legislation as would be effective
against trusts. The proposed amend
ment was one of comedy OF errors in
the way of efforts along this line.
MI. Ielier thought trusts should be
dealt with by the states but many leg
islutures unfortunately were controlled
oy the trusts themselves. National leg
isiation OF u kind that could or would
be enforced was therefore desirable.

swer the charge of assaulting Mr.. w.
i. Nolan the night previous.
The case was not called for trial

Mr.. Nolan's condition was not such as
would warrant his presence in court at
this time.
DIR. Bindewald said that at the pre-
sent, he saw no reason for alarm, Mr..
from shock than from the seriousness
o. his injuries. which though painful
by reason Of the location of the wounds,
We're not in his Judgment very serious,

curacy what might be the result lat any
rate he thought 1t best that Mr.. Nolan

THE report comes from Chicago
that the Ircquis Club has invited
Messrs. Grover Cleveland and Rich
ard OIney to address that Club in
favor of Bryan and against McKin-
ley and imperialism. And it is said
that Mr.. Olney has accepted, and
that Mr.. Cleveland will write an
open letter to be read upon that oc-
casion, coming out squarely for
Bryan. This is encouraging news.
Not that Mr.. Cleveland's following
is great, but in that it shows the
drift of public sentiment steadily to-
wards Bryan. TIA man Of Grover
Cleveland's we'll known stubborn
ness of character, and equally we'll
known antagonism to Bryan, sees so
great and imminent danger in Nc
Kinleyism as to move him to support
his old rival on a platform he cannot
endorse, then thinking men like him
all over the country, it is fair to
assume, are coming to the same con-
clusion. From these and other signs
of the times, it really begins to look
as though Bryan would be elected.

HERE'S TO PADGETT.

Far away from the prejudces of
the campaign and the smoke Of the
battle; with no enemies to punish or
favors to expect; but as a Demo
cratic paper scanning the horoscope
for good omens to the party, the
Partisan, published at Paris, Tenn,
says:
"The people of Tennessee, as well
as those Of the Seventh district, are
to be congratulated THAI l.. p. Pad.
gett is to be their next Congressman
The writer knew him well as State
Senator; and no ADLER, more earnest,
honorable, faithful servant did the
people ever have. Personally he
has few peers; sober, honest,upright,
true christian gentleman; his pri-
vate life is above reproach. A a
lawyer he is known for his strong
analytical mind, his quick percep-
ton, his pleasing eloquenee, his
deep research. Those who heard
the truly remarkable speech made
by him in the joint convention oil
the two houses of the legislature
upon the question of judicial reform
will not soon forget the clear, strong
incisive, conclusive presentation oil
the case. The offices had been
abolished as useless AMI expensive
The incumben's claimed that they
would hold them anyway under the
constitution. Mr.. Padgett said il
reply that four hundred years age
the great Queen of Spain gave hel
crown jewels that new world nigh
be known, ard the world has runs
with her praises; so If the judlcia
officers, no longer needed, had sur
rendered 20 the people their pusses
sions, no words of praise would b'
too eXtravagant to commend thei
sacrifice, but instead they appealed
to constitutional rights to hold sal
airy that the people declared to b.
unnecessary, and hence robbery o
!, the taxpayers. No words of con
domination would be too strong t,
speak their selfish disregard of tn
States interest. We are sure tina
he will be a strong man in a delega
ton of strong men. Here's to Pad

MCMILLIN AND MCCALL ought to
meet. They are firing at each other
at too long range. Their charges
and counter charges, denials and
answers, ought to be heard by the
same crowd at the same time.
Governor McMillin has good re-
cord behind him, and the commit
tee ought to let him meet his oppo-
nent face to face and defend it. This
is no time for our nominee for Gov
ernor to be making tariff speeches
Let Carmack and the electors talk
that, while McMillin and Mccall
discuss state matters. The people
