RENOUNCES
DEMOCRACY
AND ALIGNED ITSELF WITH
THE REPUBLICAN PARTY
CHICAGO CHRONICLE
Bryan Must be Greater Than the
Party Says the Chicago
Chronicle.
CHICAGO CHRONICLE

Chicago, Ill, July 12.-Denominat-
inc the St. Louis conventions action
as cowardly, the Chicago Chronicle,
cold Democratic, will come out to-
day as Republican newspaper. The
Chronicle did not support Bryan IN
either Of his campaigns.
The following explanation is given
by the Chronicle:
"When 1000 men, representing the
Democrats of the United States, most
of them chosen with much difficulty
as representatives, permit a mere
demagogue to bully them into wrong
doing, it must be that the demagogue
is greater than the party.
"Two- thirds of the delegates to the
convention voted for Judge Parker on
the first ballot-the man whom Mr..
Bryan had traduced for three months,
the man whose friends Mr.. Bryan had
villifed, the man who Mr.. Bryan had
said should, not be nominated and
could not be elected, which was ST.
lent on the money question.
"When cowardly committee rep
resenting these delegates brought in a
platform not voice was raised in
eXpostulation or protest. While hun
dreds were ready to shout for Park
err, not one appeared in defense of
elementary Democracy.
"Mr. Bryan not only graciOusly
permits the Democratic party to name
a candidate whom he has done his
best to defeat in advance, but he
places him on a platform with a hole
in it big enough to drop the entire
party through.
cit is bad enough to have Mr.. Bry-
an dominating radical Democratic
conventions. When Mr., Bryan is
able to silence conservative Dem
ocratic convention the situation be-
comes intolerable. A mixture of Viii
liam J. Organism and David B. Hill
ism is insupportable.
"The Chronicle is not in sympathy
with Mr.. organs ideas. For eight
years it has refused to believe that
Mr.. organs ideas were acceptable to
the real Democrats of the country
The result at st. Louis appears to end
the discussion. He and Hill are in
control. He and Hill have named the
ticket and made the platform.

INDIANA CONVICT
Has Spent the Past Twenty-Se
Years in the State Prison.
Detroit Tribune.)

For more than quarter of cen
fury William Flower has won con-
Wet garb in the Indiana State Prison
at Michigan City. All this time he
has stoutly maintained his innocence
of the crime for which he is destined
to spend the remainder of his life as
a prisoner Of the state which he
fought, bled and all but died for.
On September 10, 1877, Flowers
name was enrolled on the prison rec
ords, beginning on that day the serv-
ing of the life sentence imposed upon
him for the murder of a physician in
Terre Haute. Since that day life men
have been received at the prison by
the score. Some have been recipients
Of Executive clemency, some have had
their sentence committed by the ON
nipotent One, while others, like Flow
ers, are living in hopes that they, too,
will some day be given their freedom
by the Pardon Board.
William Flower is not the bright
eNtu, Dtdu Ol
q years ago. Prison life has weighed
heavily upon him. His hair has long
since been as white as driven snow,
the infrmities of age weighing heavi-
ly upon him. No longer is he compell-
ed to perform duties within the wall
ed city of which he has so long been
a resident, but instead he has been as
signed to the care Of the prison green
house located outside Of the walls.
At all times of the day he can be
found sprinklins can and trowel in
hand, laboring to bring out nature s
best to be used in the prison parlor
and hospital. The aged man feels con-
fident that some day he will receive a
pardon.

NO STATEMENT

Committee Reports.
(By Associated Press

Oyster Bay. July 12.-Senators
Fairbanks and Cortelyou returned to
New York. No statement was made
on the subject Of last nights confer
ence. Fairbanks returns to Indiana
polls tonight. Burke and Henry Her
skoitz, the committee representing
the Central Labor Unions in Luzerne
and Lackawanna counties, Pennsylva-
MIA, with a membership of 225,O00,
princi pally miners, came to present to
the president resolutions by these
bodies urging President Roosevelt to
investigate the Colorado labor situa-
ton. The committee was received by
Secretary Loeb, who offered to place
the resolutions in the president s
hands. The committee was instructed
to present them personally but Sec
rotary Loeb said a personal interview
could not be arranged and suggested
that they lay the matter before Cor
telyou. This they decided to do and
left the report of the convention now
sitting at Pittsburg, Pa.

FRENCH BISHOPS
Ordered to Resign-Combes Says Not
to do it-Trouble
(By Associated Press. J

Rome, JuIy12.-The Matin says
that soon after France recalled her
ambassador at the Vatican, Cardinal
Vamtelli ordered several French bish-
ops to tender their designations by
mail. They consulted with Premier
Combes, who said the consent Of
France must precede the removal Of
bishops, according to the Concordat.
Then the papal secretary of state
threatened the bishops with removal
if they did not come to Rome in fif-
teen days. Premier Combes forbid
them to leave their posts. the Ma
tin says that if the bishops are dis
missed without consent Of the govern
ment it will be considered as formal
renunciations Of the relations be-
tween the church and state.

RICHMOND IND PHONES:


fortune.
Before he was Is years of ~e
young Davis was thrown absolutely
upon his own resources, without dol
lar to give him a lift in life. Before
reaching his majority he was made
superintendent of a small Virginia
plantation, and there he began to de-
velop the rare executive talent which
afterwards made him noted.
Later he became a freight brake
man on the Baltimore & Ohio railroad
and there he got his start. He saved
money, and when he saw an opportu-
nifty to buy $4,000 acres of land at
a few cents an acre he took it over.
These lands are now among the rich
est coal producing properties in the
United States. Mr.. Davis is a large
stakeholder in and director of the
railroad on which he was brakeman
and is president of another road
which he practically owns. This is
the West Virginia Central, and while
it was being built he superintendent
the entire work, so that the workmen
said he knew every nail that was used
Mr.. Davis is many times million
alre, but is personally modest and I'M
ostentations. His home is at Elkins.
W. Va, where his son-in-law. Ste
phen b. Elkins. a Republican United
States senator. lives.
Mr.. Davis himself served in the
senate from 1871 to 1888, and might
have had a reelection. but he de-
cllned 1t. His first entrance into poll
ties was as a member Of the Virginia
house Of delegates in the ante-bellum
times. before there was any state of
West Virginia. He afterwards served
| two terms in the state senate. He was
a war democrat
Mr.. Davis selection as a candidate
for vice president will prevent his
nomination for governor Of West Vir-
ginia by the Democrats. who had al
ready determined to make him their
standard bearer in the state.

Wheeling, w. Va, July l2.-Sena-
tor Elkins, as temporary chairman of
the Republican State convention here
today, discussed at length the state
taxation and tariff. He said, "Pro-
lection is doing much for West Nir-
ginia. The Democrats are seeking to
recover the State by nominating Da-
Wis. In this the Democrats made a
mistake, as usual. They should have
nominated so good man as Davis for
first place. West Virginia can not
be beguiled into abandoning protec-
ton. if even so doing thew may make
Davis vice president. He pleaded to
let we'll enough alone, charging that
if the Democrats succeed fifteen thou
sand colored Republicans will be dis
franchised'
