THE OHIO CONVENTION.
Criticised for Its Failure to Reaffirm the Kansas
City Platform.

openly for the gold standard If the
gold standard is good, il ought to have
been endorsed; if bad, it ought 20 have
been denounced. To ignore the subject
entirely was ineXcusabie.
THE money question is not yet out
of politics. Every session Of congress

declare that it is dead, but they con-

Mr. Bryan comments upon parts of
the platform. especially those referring
TO state and municipal affairs. He en-
Cforses the nominees % The convention,
and urges their support. Referring to
the senatorial fight, and te reported
candidacy Of John r. AlCLisdz4. ne says

He concludes as follows: ''If any Of
the Ohio Democrats feel aggrieved be-

party triumphed at the convention, let
them not visit their disappointment

Lincoln, Neb., July 15.-In extended
comment on the platform adopted by
the Ohio Democratic convention, W j.
Bryan critfcises the convention for its
failure to reaffirm the kansas City
platform, and for what ne regards as
the weakness of some of Uhe planks It
did adopt. Mr.. Bryan insists that the
convention made a mistake in making
himself (BUyan) an issue, and says:
Mr.. Bryan is not a candidate for
any Office, and a mention or him might
have been construed by some as an
endorsement Of him for Office. The vote
should have been upon the naked prop
OSitiOn to endorse the platform of last
year, and then no one could have eX-
cused his abandonment OF Democratic
principles by pleading his dislike for
Mr.. Bryan.
Referring to the platform, he con-
tinues: The convention not only
failed, but refused TO endorse or reaf-
firm the Kansas City platform, and
from the manner in which the gold ele-
ment has rejOiced over this failure Of
the convention, one would suppose that
the main object Of the convention was
not to write a new platform, but to re-
pudlate the one upon which the last
national campaign was fought.
The gold papers assume that the
convention refused to adopt the Kan
sas City platform because il contained
a silver plank If so, It would have

More Mills Join Strikers.
In addition to the very general, and
in some instances. rather unexpected
compliance with the strike order, the
Amalgamated association tonight has
added two more mills to its list, both
OF which we're claimed by the cOmpa-
MES TO be beyond the reach of organi-
cation. When the William ClarksOn
company mills at Thirty-fifth street,
which operated all day nOn-UniOn, came
to shift turns tonight, none of the
skilled men reported for duty, and the
plant had to close down.
Later, the following was received
concerning another mill, considered by
the manufacturers to be unexceptional-
ly loyal:

The conquest Of these two plants is
considered by. the association people
as an instance of their strength, and
an indication that President ShaffeT's
assertion that such results would fol-

and western Missouri, western Kansas
and the territories still untouched by
rain, conditions remain unchanged, the
temperature ranging from SO to l06, the
latter at Hutchinson, Kan.
The rains which came at the end of
a drought of from four TO. eight weeks
duration, covered southwestern Missou-
ri and portions OF Kansas, taking in the
southeastern corner of the SuuflOWcr
state from Riley to Dickinson counties
down to the Oklahoma line. The first
break came last night. when fairly good
rains fell in Barton and Green coun-
ties, Missouri, and on the Oklahoma
border in Kansas. in COwley and Chau-
tauqua counties and along the Union
Pacific railway in Riley county These
rains, while good were not sufficient 10

This morning a heavy rain fell In

gomery, Butler and Sedwick counties,
Kansas. Around Joplin there was
heavy fall for ten minutes. At 1870
o'clock a soaking rain fell in Cherokee
county, across the line in Kansas, pre-
ceded by hail, benehting pastures and
small grains immensely, and bringing
relief to the crushing plants in the
mining district.

Cleveland O.. July 15.-The Leader

terday of the prevailing strike of the
Amalgamated Association Of Iron and

ment that it is due directly to an ef-

including those which have recently
been absorbed
Six weeks ago it became known that
the Carnegie company intended upon
July I to absorb the National Steel
company and the American Steel Hoop
company The Carnegie mills have not
employed union labor since 1892. at the
time of the big strike while the two
mills absorbed have always employed
union labor. The original intention was
TO keep the fact of this absorption
quiet until after the officers had signed
the Amalgamated scale and then let
the Carnegie company carry out the
contracts with the wOTkmen for the
first year.
At the end of the year it was to be
determined whether the entire list Of
mills controlled by the Carnegie COM
pany should employ union labor or
whether no union men should be en-
gagged. The effort was to be, so il is
understood nov. to inculcate- Carnegie
nop-UniOn principles into the entire
organization. The story of the pro-
posed absorption, however. Leaked out
before the time was ripe. and 1t is I'M
derstoOd that the struggle with labor
was precipitated a year earlier than it
was expected TO occur, on that &C
count
It is said by men of high standing
that the fight started, it win be to a
finish. and the result viii be that the
United States Steel corporation will be
union or that the life Of the Amalga-
mated association viii come to a viO-
lent end with the completion of this
struggle.
