annual session here. He was invited as

OF president Parry, of the American AS

unusual demonstrations of approval.
Besides sketching the successful work

ed the Amalgamated association, and re-
peated his we'll known views in favor of
harmony between employer and employe.
He read rabid anti-labor- union extracts
from Mr. Parry's speech and said that

per men of Missouri, complimentary to
William j. Stone.# bitterly arraigned
Grover Cleveland and his supporters,
who are making the plea for harmony
among Democrats. 81 The assembly was
made up Of representative Missouri
l. Democrats, and the remarks Of Mr..
Bryan met with kenthuSiaStic favor
with his hearers de said:
What we needs in this nation Is
moral courage ameng men. We need
moral courage more than ability, and
we want the kind of moral courage
that will fight for honest Democratic
principles. The Democratic bed is
wide enough for all who want to come
In, but we do not want to have to sit
UP nights to keep certain pretenders
from picking our pockets. We invite
all who have strayed from the fold to
come back if they so desire, but we
want them to stay in after they come.
We have had enough of Clevelandism,
and after his administration was over
we found ourselves weaker than we
had ever been before because we had
been betrayed. These so-called har-
monizers. Cleveland and his followers,
showed their nearness to Republican,
sism by deserting us in our hour of
greatest need and supporting the Re-
publican party.
The Democratic party won a great
victory in 1892 which gave our party
great opportunity, but Grover Cleve-
land betrayed the Democratic party,
and I carried the burden of his admin
istration through two national cam
paigns, and there was not a plank in
either platform that was such a detri-
ment to me in those campaigns as
|, that burden was. Cleveland had the
best opportunity to redeem the Demo-
cratic party ever offered to any man
since the time of Andrew jackson. but
instead of being true to his party he
disgraced himself. As a party we must
stand true to Democratic principles,
and if we do I believe that Democratic
victory will some day come, and it will
be here to remain when it comes.
Il would not give one Democrat who
Ioreally believes .inlI Democratic princi-
pies for whole barn yard full of
I trimmers and compromisers who pre-

ERICKSON is REVENGED.

Gets Satisfaction for Patching of His
Pet Bills.
One of the humorous conflicts of the
session was won Monday by Repre-
sentative Erickson, Yellow Medicine
Representative Frank Clague, ad-
mittedly one of the strongest men of
the house, had in charge a senate bill
reapportiOning the Ninth and Twelfth
judicial districts. Erickson was op-
posed to the bill and laid his plans for
a fight.
Mr.. Clague was obliged to leave the
hall, and left the matter to be called
up by another member. Coming from
member outside the affected terri
tory, Erickson did not for few minutes
realize that the bill he meant to slaugh-
ter was being considered. By the time
he had his feet under him and got to
work Mr.. Clague had returned and
naturally enough defended a PROPOSE
tion intruSted to him as representing
the views of the people of the districts
in question.
Erickson is not a speech maker. nor
has he been considered a Sprinter, but
on this bill he established a long dis
tance record. and when the vote was
polled showed that he had by personal
solicitation turned in enough votes to
defeat the bill and in a measure get
back at Clague for his amendments to
Erickson's multitudinous county COM
miSSiOnerS' compensation bills.

governor evidently took the cue early
and gave over any hopes he may have
entertained of directing legislation or
securing Legislative Endorsement of his

The Legislature, or, more properly,
the senate, refused to grant Van SAINT

The house, through it's committee on
public accounts and expenditures and
special committees, stirred the dry
bones that had been allowed to rest
in peace for six years, and the investi-
cations could not by the widest stretch
of imagination be considered as fur
nishing any cheer to the administra-
ton. Two of the governors appointees
and their methods We're criticised, and
curative or, corrective legislation rec
commended.
From a purely political standpoint
the investigation prosecuted by the
house. committee resulted in a, decided
black eye for the Van SAINT machine
publican state convention. The exam
ination of the conduct of the state
auditors ofaee-by former Auditor r. c..

ground.
The administration forces have con-
sistently and persistently opposed any
movement calculated to result in the
nomination of Dunn for governor in
1904. 1t was an open secret that the

late that it's completion and a report

lature were considered next to impos-

might have developed had the report

1T could not have been made public for
two years, and Dunn, as a candidate

implied by an investigation. The com
pletlon of the investigation and the
report, laudatory in the extreme nj
Dunn's administration, and a tax rate
of mill, also due to his administra-
ton, leaves Dunn in a much stronger
position, and in a large degree spoils
the plans of the organization which
would read him out of state politics.

ture did little to farther the plans OF

Mr.. Armstrong sent up resolutions
thanking the representatives of the

serious matters of consideration, and
some of the members attempted to

CHARGED WITH STUFFING
RAILROAD PAY ROLLS
Three Employees of the Illinois Central
Under Arrest.

CHICAGO. April 21-Charged with
stuff1ng the company's pay rolls by
means of bogus pay checks. three men
holding responsible positions with the
Illinois Central railway have been ST.
multaneously placed under arrest, and
were held to the grand jury. The total
peculatiOns from the corporation, it is
thought, will amount to many thou
sands of dollars. The employees under
arrest are d. j. Ohern, Charles Ohern
and Mark Walsh. The two first named
are road superintendents and the third
is a section foreman. All were in
charge of a large number of men.
1t is said the method was to place
fictitious names upon the pay rolls,
and, having the authority to make out
checks, give them to friends to pre-
sent to the treasurer of the road. Men
who had been discharged, but whose
names Were never forwarded to the
company We're among those used in
securing the money.
