the American youth was taught to be-
lieve in the righteousness of the ideas
laid down in the Declarat ton of indie
pendence, in the exact Justice of the
theories outlined in the constitution.
And yet but few days ago the attor-
ney general of the United States de-
clared, without a blush-yes, with all
the bravado of a New Jersey trust
laYy ar-that If the constitution had
become a barrier TO the expansion of
the republic, as the despotisms of Eu-
rope expand, it was high time TO cast
1t aside as so much worn out rubbish.
"In all the history of our land there
was never greater need of a peoples
party than there is today. The Repub-
lican party is in control of all the
branches of the federal government
Supreme in its absolute domination OF
the government, it is in turn controlled
by the most corrupt and corrupting
forces that have ever swayed a great
national party. Great measures intro
duced in the upper and lower houses
of congress bear upon them all the ear
marks of doodle.
'sFor whatever ostensible purpose
they may be introduced, scratch be-
meath the surface and you will find the
true cause.-the wish to pander to the
lnsatiate greed and lust that are to-,
day preying upon the great mass OF
our citizenship. Whether 1T be tar1n
duty or subsidy, In either case 1T Is
proposedto pour riches into the lap of
those already gorged with wealth, to
exact tribute from those grooming I'M
der too heavy burden OF taxatnon.
.'The purest-hearted and the wisest-
minded In the ranks of the Republican
craftsmanship protest with yigor, but
their protests go all nnheeded: the
most Influential OF the Republican
newspapers thunder editorially, but
their opposition brings no result Cam
paign debts are to be paid. campaign
obligations are to be honored, luscious
melons are to be cut and the mouths OF
tlle leaders who held the knife are watt
ering in advance. 1t is far cry from
the government of q Hanna to the gov
eminent ideals of a Washington, JET
ferson and a Madison.
..What nobler purpose could we
Democrats proclaim in this town or
the Twentieth century than that hold
ing to- a continued belief i'm the justice
and the Righteousness of the theories
of government upon which this nation
was founded. we consecrate our party
and its untiring efforts TO the fedec-
laration of the principles enunciated
by our fathers in Independence hall a
century and a quarter ago and to re-
affirmation of the constitution OF the
United States, redeclaration and re-
affirma ton which shall not be mere
words, but which shall finally restore
those ideas in the executive chamber
and in the council halls of our ma
tionT

ADDRESS BY MAYOR HARRISON
Declares the Party rs Strong Today a.
Ever in Its History.

Declares the Party Strong Today as
Ever in Its History.
Mayor Harrison, after tracing the
history of Democracy since the first
jackson day banquet was held in Chi
eago four years ago and explaining
the appropriateness of meeting on the
anniversary of the battle of New Or
leans. spoke in part as follows:
Eve meet on Jackson's day because
it Is the proper day on which to empty
bumper in memory of our party's
founder, Thomas jefferson, to pledge a
renewal of our faith in the wisdom
and the patriotism of our patron saint,
Andrew Jackson, to grasp by the hand
in token of our affection and esteem
the gallant leader who, without fear
and without reproach, without excuse
to friend or apology to foe, has borne
the party standard in the last two ma
tional campaigns.
Our party lives as strong today, as
unbroken in rank and alignment, as un-
swerving in purpose. as devoted to
the cause of free institutions as in the
days when it had just received the in
dorsement of a majority of the citi-
zens of the nation. Defeat means lit
tie to party if it stands for the truth,
for the triumph of justice, for correct
principles of government. The Dem
ocracy represents the government as
established by the fathers. If the time
has come when there is no further
purpose for the party to serve, the
time is here when the form Of govern
ment outlined by the Declaration of
Independence and formulated by the
constitution has oEtlived its usefulness.
shane be it to American manhood
that the confession must be made, but
there are those today who waver in
their devotion to the old-tfme principles
of government For six generations

GORMAN WILL 60
 BACK TO SENATE
Republicans Control House of Dele gates, But Democrats Have a
 Majority on Joint Ballot.

Baltimore, Nov. 6.-Returns received in this city up to midnight and including every county in the State. partly official and partly estimated, indicate result in the legislative contest which Is almost
 without parallel in Maryland. The most careful estimates give the Democrats
 forty-six delegates and seven newly elected Senators. which combined with the ten who hold over in the Senate. as- sures the friends of MT. German total of sixty-three on joint ballot. The Re- publicans, it appears. have elected forty nine delegates and six Senators, which added to their three holdover Senators gives them total of fifty-eight on joint ballot. These figures indicate that the Republicans will be able to organize the House of Delegates.
 The election judges in two precincts or the second legislative districts in Baiu- more became involved last night In controversy over the rejection or several ballots, and finally locked the ballots ana the poll books in the ballot box and turn- ed them over to the supervisors of elec- tion, with the statement that they de- cIined to sign the returns. One Of the Democratic candidates lacked but ninety seven votes of election. and another needs but 1os. The Republicans seem inclined to concede the election of the first men, tioned when the returns are in from the two missing precincts. but assert that the other will be beaten. It is probable, that in the city of Baltimore oneaDemocrat is elected, while the Republicans are given sixteen.

OHIO

Columbus, O., Nov. s.-With almost complete returns in tonight. it Is noted that the Republican plurality beats all records in what has become known as che auadriennial "off year" and, with two ex- ceptions, the records of other years.
 Wherever local issues were paramount. this year the Republicans sustained losses, notably ct Columbus. on account of local option. and at Cleveland on ac- count of Mayor Johnson's agitation or taxation inequalities." Where no such conditions were confronted, the Repubii- cans made gains and they carried some Democratic counties that never before were represented by Republicans. Lead. CTS on both sides agree that the result was due to trend of sentiment on national affairs and none of them refer to the sii- yer question as a factor.
 Chairman Daugherty of the Democratic committee added with emphasis:
 q believe Republican success due to the assassination of Mckinley and the pre- vailing prosperity"
 Later tonight Chairman Dick of the Re publican State Committee put the plu- rality of Nash over Kiibourne for Gov ernor at 67,661. He says the Republican majority on joint ballot for United States Senator is thirty-five.

FEMALE TEACHERS WANTED For Children in the South African
 Concentration Camns

New York, Nov. 6.-Following the re- cent outcry against the treatment of the children in the South African concentra- ton camps, comes an advertisement. Times, inserted by the Board of Edusa- ton in this mornings paper, for female teachers to go to the camps n order to teach the children simple rudiments and singing.

A correspondent of The London Times, however. asserts this morning that the mortality among. the Boer children Is always shockingly high. He says the Boers frequently have fam flies of twenty, half of whom die young.

III HUNG CHANG DEAD
FAMOUS CHINESE NoBLEMAN
 sUccuMBs TO DISEASE.
Believed That Undertakings Inn posed upon China by the Protocal' Will Not Be Disturbed
 by His Demise.

Pekin. Nov. 7.-Ii Hung Chang oieo ~ il o'clock this morning.
 At 9 o'clock yesterday evening, while Eari u was still alive. the court yard of the yamen was filled with life-sized paperhorses and chairs with coolie bear CTS, which his friends sent, In accordance with Chinese customs. to be buried when he died in order to carry his soul to heaven.
 The Chinese officials are somewhat uri- easy concerning the effect his death will have on the populace; and to guard against a possible anti-foreign demon- stration, the Chinese Generals have dis posed their troops about the city in such a way as to command the situation. Trouble, however, Is extremely improb- able.
 Robert Coltman. an American, who was one of the physicians attending Earl Li. told the correspondent of the Associated Press today that when he was called to act with Dr. Velde, of the German Lega- ton, November 1, he found the patient very weak from a severe homorrhage due to ulceration of the stomach.
 "The hemorrhage was readily controll- ed," said Dr. Coltman, but owing to the underlying condition of chronic gastritis with persistent nausea, only the mildest liuuid food could be digested. Yesterday he was cheerful and without pain; but at 2 o'clock this morning (November O he became unconscious and, was no longer able to get rid of the collection of mucous which he had been freely ex- pectorating."
 Earl Lis persistent refusals to refrain from attending to Government business aggravated his malady, while the refusal of the family to permit certain meas ures customary in Western medical prac- tice for relieving the stomach contributed to bring his end near.
 At midnight last night u Hung rallied slightly. His family had installed native doctors in charge of the patient, the reg ular physicians having refused co attend him unless the Chinese doctors were dis missed.
