: He honestly does not want the nom
ination, but may be compelled to TAX,
: II. John b. Stanchfield, who was
candidate for governor two years ago
was made chairman of today's con
vention. and said upon calling the
convention to order, that the death OF
President Mckinley was nationa
misfortune, deeply deplored and sin
cerely regretted by all classes and
conditions of people. The more siren
uous and less polite administration
has demonstrated how shockingly in
error the Republican party was and
is regarding the Philippines. The
present administration stands upon a
proposition that we can buy with mon
ey or obtain by force the right to hold
in subjugation a people whose consent
is not had, and put upon them such a
constitution as is improper. The
Democratic party makes no attack
upon the American soldier; the rank
and file is largely composed of Demo
Gratis, but we assault the admins. ra-
ton that is carrying on this war in
he Philippines, upon the ground that
~ hO'o iApl t''lhit llHif WutU IL
will turn over the islands to their
people as we did in the case of Cuba.
Mr. Stanchfield then denounced the

was regarded as over. This rebound
was caused by the presence of Secre-
tary Shaw. who was an early visitor
| to the sub-treasury on Wall street to-
day.
! After meeting the presidents of the
| First National Hanover and the City
banks, the market steadied and be-
came quiet and normal. Some heavy
men were caught in the tempest of
yesterday afternoon and morning.

| lost two and a half million dollars
