America Must Understand That Eu-

Berlin, September 24.-"The American
government must very soon be given
plainly to understand that Europe, po-
litely. but decidedly forbids foreign in
tervention in it's affairs" says the Kruez
Zeitung, which plays unon the point
that If the United States is permitted
to have it's way in Roumanian affairs,
America may acquire the habit Of med
ding in European matters "notwith-
standing that it's own position on the
Monroe doctrine is against every such
attempt, whatever the motive may be
and an energetic front must forthwith
be interposed."

readers with ''information' regarding

NEW YORK REPUBLICANS.
Friction Disappears. Ticket Named
and Platform Adopted.

Saratoga. y. Y, Sept. 2i.-Complst-
ing today in three hours a state ticket
and promulgating a platform OF prin-
ciples. without the least indications OF
friction and amidst much enthusiasm.
the state republican convention ad-
journed sine die. The candidates. with
three exceptions. are at present state
officers. The planks in the platform
which attracted most attention were
those protesting against combinations
and trusts and the declaration for i'm
proved canals.
The ticket nominated was: For gov
ernor, b. B. Odell, Jr., of Orange; lieu
tenant governor, F. W. Higgins, of
Cattaraugas; secretary OF state, John
F. O'Brien, OF Clinton: treasurer, John
@. Wicksor. Of Erie, comptroller, y. B.
Miller, of Cortland; engineer, E A
Bond, OF Jefferson; attorney general,
II. B. Conan, OF Madison; judge court
of appeals, William L. Werner, OF
Monroe.
The platform also endorses the ad-
ministration of President Roosevelt and
Governor Odell, discourses on the
economy that has characterized the
administration of state affairs: favors
reciprocity with Cuba, congratulates
President Roosevelt for laying the
foundations Of local government in the
Philippines, and endorses the constitu-
tional amendment allowing the legisla-
ture 10 regulate the hours of labor for
working men.
On the subjects of the tariff and
trusts the platform says:
The greatest national issue is the
maintenance of prosperity. The pledge
crixr l1v in, AfaLy ;oIa <,f
dant work and good wages, based on
the passage of protective tariff bill,
has been filled.
The integrity of the protective prin-
ciple must be preserved That prin-
ciple is required to maintain the high
est scale Of American wages and the
supremacy of the American workshop.

charge Of extravaganza against the
democratic state administration, show
ing that the financial difficulties were
due to the tales made by republican
corruption and incompetency, and at
least one republican is looking through
prison bars for stealing. North Caro-
lima favors education. and will school

sioning Confederate soldierS-but not
deserters, Mr.. Craig then, in most
eloquent outburst, in q peroration or
most intense feeling. vindicated the
name and memory of the great COM
moner, the beloved Vance. II, he de-
clared, the republican party, can make
Senator Pritchard vote for pensioning
Confederate deSerters; If it can make
him condone the uncomfortable, forgive
the unforgivab ble-what can't it make
him do? Sen. Pritchard has asked me IL
/ wished TO go back to the days of 1S9f
No, do not Senator Pritchard, Would
/ ask this great audience to say IL there
is one who wishes to go back to 1893!
Not an aye was heard. He then put
the reverse of the proposition, and there
was a resounding, overwhelming no.
Senator Pritchard then, in a rejoinder
of 15 minutes, declared that Mr.. Craig
had answered not one of his arguments,
and secuted at the idea of Mark Hanna
paying out money in poll tax. Here
Mr.. Craig interrupted to ask if he would
stand by the constitutional amendmenl,
and cries came from the crowd to ans
wer the question, whereupon senator
Pritchard said: You men in the back
keep quiet, 1 answered that question
in my first speech. He declared that he
had not said what was attributed to
him regarding Vance but had said that
southern men had been driven into the
ranks, had tired of it, and had enlisted
in the union ranks. Senator Pritchard
drew out q petition asking him to keep
in office a negro, signed by Mr. Craig's
brother The latter, after looking at
it, said that the white man who wanted
the office was a renegade, assoclatlng
with negroes. Here was some very
sharp talk, and a good deal of excite
ment occurred, verging on bad temper.
Here beautiful bouquet was presented
to Pritchard, which he gracefully re-
ceived, coming from the revenue officer
Morrissey.
1t is great discussion, generally on
a very high plane, equal almost to
Vance and Settle in 1876. The crowd
was about 700 of which about ATS were
probably democrats, and much of the
applause to Pritchard came from ne
groes in rear of hall. Prominent re-
