Marshall County independent. (Plymouth, Marshall County, Ind.) 1897-1902, 1900-06-08

We, the democrats of Indiana, In
convention assembled, reaffirm our al
legiaDce to the principles of liberty and
justice, which the Democratic party has
advocated from the time OF Jefferson.
We reaflirm and pledge our allegi-
snce to the principles of the Declsrs-
tiOn of Independence, and acknowledge
our debt of gratitude to Thomas Jeffer-
son, the author of that charter of hu-
man rights.
We reaffrm and pledge our allegiance
to the principles of the constitution of
the United States, and declare our ven

triots who instituted its benefcent pro-
visions, not only for themselves, but for
the welfare of the nation for all time.

We reaflirm and pledge our allegiance
to the principles of the Chicago plat
form of 1896 and commend ts distin-
guished exponent, William Jennings
Bryan, to the people of the United
States as an able statesman, q sincere
patriot and an honest man who can
safely be trusted to stand at all times
for the people against their foes at
home and abroad.
And we instruct the delegates select
ed by this convention to cast their
votes for him at the democratic nation
al convention to be held at Kansas
City.

that the people should restore the fun
damentsl principles of their govern
ment to their original force We are
already far advanced in the policy of
arbitrary rule, which has caused an en-
croachment on the rights of the people
at home and on liberty abroad, and a
subversion of popular government
everywhere.
1t is the history of the human race
that every nation which has sought to
extend its power by destroying the lib
erty of others has, in the end, destroyed
the liberty of it's own people. No peo
pie can exist part free and part slave
part citizen and part subject, part re-
public and part empire.
We submit the corrupting influence
of colonial dominion has already
brought disgrace upon the nation; that
usurped and dictatorial power has al
ready reached the danger line. The
constitution and the plighted faith OF
the republic has been violated in Porto
Ricsn legislation for the purpose of as
serting power to rule without regard to
law, duty, OF right principle. Inde
pendence is withheld from the Cubans
in defiance of law and national prom
ises. Slavery is recognized and pro
tected in Sulu, and involuntary servi
tude in Hawaii in violation of the con
stitution.

Dreyfus's Purpose is Firm.

Paris, Sept, 27.-The Presse puk

from Alfred Dreyfus NJ. Trardieu1.
the former minister OF Justice, dated
Geneva, Switzerland, September Ia.

The moral effects of the iniquity
still exists and the mental tortun /.
as great as ever. Since Justice has
not been done to me, the aim pur

Bryans Similar Experience.

New York, Sept. 27.-Members OF
both the national committees to.
day condemned the mobbing of The
odore Roosevelt by Colorado roughs.
Chairman Hanna said the attack
would make votes for the republican
party in Colorado, as the decent
people OF the state would take this
means of showing their disapproval
of the conduct of the mob.
Governor Stone. for the democrat
ic national committee. said:
The attack. as reported. is an
outrage. Governor Roosevelt and
all other gentlemen are entitled to
be treated with respect, and ruttians
who insult them should be summari-
ly dealt with. 1t will be remembered
that Mr.. Bryan had a somewhat
similar experience in 1896 at the
hands of Yale students. but no one
attempts to saddle the responsibility
for that act on the republican party.

HAY OUT WITH THE PRESIDENT.
Secretary Of State is Omitted From
Diplomatic Councils.

Boston, Sept. 27.-Again the
/ almost authentic story is atioat that
/ there has been a serious break be-
tween Secretary John Hay and
/ President Mckinley. Secretary Hay
/ is in robust health, but apparently
j. taking no part in the important
diplomatic work in which the govern
ment is concerned. He has been at
Lake Sunapee, \. H.. two months
and said to-day he will stay there the
remainder OF the month at least.
The Boston Globe to-day has Il
Lake Sunapee dispatch, which says:
col. Hay is giving himself over
brain and body 10 counting recrea-
ton. care free and hampered by no
thought OF diplomatic precent. for
he goes where and when he pleases.
He has no foreign policy to weary
his brain. no intricate questions of
America : answer to Germany's note
or of England's decisions, to engross
his attention by day and keep him
awake. restless and distracted by
night.
This long stay of Col. Hay here is
not because he is not we'll. No ply
stefan has been near him since the
latter part OF August, and he has
been outdoors every pleasant day
during the last month.
For the past two months the great
er part OF Col. Hays mail has re-
piled up in the postottice

ton under the personal direction d

famous Plot

Rochester, Sept. 20.-Charles f.
Stain has confessed that through
motives of revenge, he testified
against his father, charging him with
u deliberate murder which he never
committed, and for which he is now
serving a life sentence.
This confession comes after a lapse
OF almost a quarter OF century since
the crime was committed, and is the
second sensational development in
the murder of Treasurer Barron of
the Dexter bank in Dexter. Me-.
Ten years after Mr. Barron was
killed David L. Stain and Oliver
Cromwell of Medfeld. Mass. were
convicted of the crime in Bangor and
sentenced to life imprisonment. The
conviction was secured upon the evil
dence of Charles F. Stain. a son of
David l.. Stain, and that of John

ed for his heroic work in Santiago

ed that he be advanced eight num-

bic that the recommendation
will be renewed in his annual report.
1T is understood that Mr.. HobsOn,
who has fondness for line duty. would
prefer to be transferred to the line
and have his advancement made
there instead of in the staff. and it
is probable that an effort will be
made to comply with his wishes in
this respect.
