DEMOCRATS AT ROCHESTER.
Representative Yoder's speech Oh
Americans Colonial Possessions.

Amerfca's Colonial Possessions.
ROCHESTER, N. Y, March 21.-The
Democratic Club of Monroe County gave
dollar dinner at Fitzhugh Hall last night.
James NJ Nolan was POSTMASTER. He de-
livered himself of a speech, at the opening
CT which he saidipointed and unkind things
about the silk blocking" end of the party.
He regretted the absence of former Repre-
sentative ]. Hamilton Lewis, of Washing
ton, and Hon. Thomas Carmody, of Penn
Van, who were down for speeches. He
| said that the dinner need not be failure
because these men were not present. Rep
| resentative John A. Mcdowell of Ohio talk
ed on National Policies" He told OF the
policies that have governed nations since
the world began and approved of all of
them with the exception of the present
Republican Administration. Former Rep
resentative S. S. Yuder of Ohio, talked on
Liberty for an hour. In his speech he
said:
I'VE agree with President Mckinley and
his Secretary of War and with General
Davis. his Governor of Porto Rico, that IL
is our plain duty to give these people free
trade. We do not agree with the Sugar
Trust, Mark Hanna, and Tom Platt, that
IL is our plain duty to tax the life out
of our fellow citizens in Porto Rico.
Il do not believe the Constitution fol-
lows our flag. The Constitution accompa-
nies the flag or precedes it, The Consti-
tuition created Congress, Congress created
the flag. Now. does a Greater follow his
creature? Every act done by Congress is
subject to scrutiny by the Supreme Court
as to whether it is authorized by the Con-
stitution to pass that act, and il the court
finds there is no authority, ii pronounces
such act unconstitutional and null and
void.
I'VE agree with President Mckinley, the
kind and benevolent. We disagree with
William Mckinley, the candidate fer re-
election, the servant Of trusts. and sordid,
greedy, selfish campaign contributors.
Yoder then made some promises and
prophecies. He said:
After March 4 next, with the greatest
statesman now living, William Jennings
Bryan. in the White House, We will say TO
Porto Ricans: You are free to till your
soil, govern yourselves under our Consti-
tion; no taxation without representation;
you are American citizens.
we will say to Aguinaldo and his peo-
pie: Surrender and learn TO enjoy the
blessings of free and independent govern
ment, and until then we will see that
you do not harm yourselves or anyone
else. We will withdraw our military
forces as fast as is safe from the islands,
reduce our Army, and curtaH expenses

will build our own canal and own and

IN BEHALF OF BRYAN.
Maryland Democrats Appeal for In
structed Delegates.

ELLICOTT CITY. Md. March FLA cir
cular letter is being widely distributed
| from the Baltimore headquarters of the
! Maryland Democratic Association in the
interest of the Bryan Democracy in the
coming primary elections.
The letter indicates that a determined
fight is to be made throughout the State
for instructed delegations for the silver
leader against all compromises and uncer-
tainties. In the course of the circular the
association says:
There would not be a particle Of doubt
of securing a Bryan delegation from Mary
land if his opponents would meet us in a
fair and manly way. We challenge them TO
put up delegates in the primaries openly
pledged for the gold standard or against
/ Bryan. and we will put up delegates open =
ly pledged for Bryan and see which will
win.
Isn't that a fair proposition?
But II they refuse to do this it can only
be for the purpose Of deceiying persons in
to voting for delegates supposed to be for
Bryan. but who would turn out in the con-
vention TO be against him. Therefore we is
sue this warning. which We expect TO re-
ware of unpledged delegates. Any delegate
who refuses TO be instructed to vote for
Bryan does not intend to vote for him; any
delegate who is not pledged for Bryan you
may be sure. is secretly pledged against
him.
"Uninstructed delegates may be very
proper when il is not known definitely just
what questions will be before the conven-
tion. but in this coming convention there
will be but one question, namely: For Bry-
an and the Chicago platform. with the ad =
dition of planks against trusts and imperi-
alism, or against them. Upon that ques-
tion it is the right and duty of the people
themselves to speak. and the only way they
can do so is by instructing the delegates.
This is our only safe course. and the
only course for Democrats to pursue.
ANY talk of sending contesting dele
cation would be disapproyed. we assure
you, by the National Committee and by
Mr.. Bryan himself and. besides, il is folly
because. if We are minority we have no
right TO send delegation, but if We are
a majority then, in the absence of fraud
which is not to be anticipated, We can send
the regular delegation.
I'VE believe that a large majority OF the
Democrats of Maryland are for Bryan. and
that We will carry the primaries for him.
The primaries will be called by the
Democatic State Central Committee in con-
junction with the committee of seven in
Baltimore and the county committee in the
counties. and every voter who intends to
support the nominee of the Democratic Ma
tional Convention will have the right to
vote in the primaries, and no others. and
we urge every friend of Bryan to be sure
to vote in the primaries.
THE only danger We have feared is that
Brysn's friends might be deceived in vot-
ing for unpledged delegates, and. therefore.
we repeat again 1.-THE warning: Insist upon
instructed delegates

Uncle Dick Garrison, bee hunter, made
find recently which may make some,
body more money than all the wild
bees ever found in Decatur county are
worth. 1t is nothing less than a mass
of copper ore weighing l64 pounds. It
seems to be almost pure copper ore, and
stands the chemical test. He found it
on the east bank of Big Creek south:
west of Lamont, about mile and half
east of A. B. Young's farm; He says he
could pick UP wagon load Of the same
