Grafton, Gen. Miles was enthusiastical-
ly greeted by 5000 persons. After

Gen. Miles said, with reference to the
Philippine islands;
The problem OF the Philippine Islands
Is one Of serious moment. involving the
expenditure Of valuable lives and vast
treasure Although the subject is at
tracing marked attention and exciting
bitter discussion, there can be but one
solution, That must be one in which the
honor, the integrity and high character
OF our government are preserved and
maintained beyond any peradyenture.
Full and impartial justice must be ac-
corded TO the 100000 of people who are
now at our mercy, and whose present

VEST PEsSIIISTIC.
New York, July 4--Tammany Hall
today celebrated the 126th anniversary
Of American independence. The pro-
gram differed little from that of the
Fourth Of July celebrations held at the
wigwam in former years. w. Bourke
Cochran, who recently returned to the
Tammany fold, delivered the principal
address and the other long talk" was
made BY Supreme Court Justice O'Gor-
man.
Senator Vest Of Missouri sent let
ter of regret in which he said "There
has never been a time in the history
of our country when the free insttu
tons established by our fathers were
IN more peril than at present. The
announcement Is definitely made that
we have outgrown the swaddling-
clothes Of l776, and must join the
world powers In trampling upon human

William j, Bryan In sending regrets
said 1T Is more important that we
should SO discharge the duties of clti-
zenship as to strengthen our nations
character and perpetuate our govern
ment than that we should observe each
recurring anniversary OF the nations
birth There is never ending con-
test between human rights and mans
unbrldled greed. Sometimes that greed
creates one issue, sometimes another
but, whether II manifests itself IN
the tariff question, the money ques-
ton, the trust question or imperialism,
II Is the same, for everywhere II tram
pies upon the inalenable rights of the
citizen. Tammany can help the Dem
ocratlc party by throwing its organl-
zation upon the side Of honest meth
DDS and upon the side Of honest plat
forms, platforms which will set forth
In clear and unambiguous language the
peoples side OF every issue. Those
who employ hypocrisy also resort to
trickery to deceive the people, but
those who believe In equal rights to
all and would deny special privileges
to any must rely upon the merits OF
their cause and make an open and
manly appeal to the conscience and in.
telllgence Of the people"
Ex-senator Hin in his letter of re-
greet said; ''The policy Of the nd
ministratlon in relation 10 the lnhabi-
tants OF the Philippine Islands is a dis
grace to civilization. 1t repudiates the
declarations of the. Declaration Of In
dependence The present Republican
Congress has accomplished little or
nothing for the benefit Of the people,
II has not only failed 90 do Justice TO
the Cubans, but 1t has also failed to re-
lieve the consumers Of the United
States. The administration most adj
vertised measure OF diluted reciprocity
has already come TO grief. The as
tonishlng and strenuous defense OF
Gen Wood IN regard TO the Cuban
frauds contained IN the recent ha-
rangue OF the perambulating presi-
dent Of the United States on non
partisan occasion has fixed the respon-
sibility for the crime upon the admin
istration, which It cannot now avoid"
