Widely Different.

Knoxville, Tenn. Aug. 1O-The prop
ositions of both miners and operators
in the joint wage scale conference of
the United Mine Workers District No.
10 We're made public to-day. The ope-
rators ask for a reduction of Is per
cent. in the mine rate, Is per cent.
reduction for day labor and a 10 per
cent. reduction for dead" work. Gen
eral conditions must remain the same
as heretofore, and grievances of indi-
viduals must be considered by the
Scale Committee.
The miners ask that the present con-
tract be renewed, with the following
changes:
1. Eight hours a day in lieu of nine
hours, the nine-hOur rate to be paid
for eight hours work.
2. A straight run of mine basis in
lieu of the double system now in vogue.
3. Local conditions must be taken UP
for consideration and adjustment.
A Joint committee Of thirteen leading
operators and many leading miners
was appointed to-day to take UP the
question OF agreeing on a scale and

Mighty nice indeed.

The above extract from wen-known
author will serve to remind
the children that there is going to be
something doing" tomorrow after
noon.
Another one of those Morning News
days when the little men and women
whose papas and mamas subscribe for
the Morning News can have the at
fractions of Thunderbolt free for the
asking.
There will be something like 1000
little children who will study the
weather report with interest to-mor-
row morning, ready to swear by the
weather man if he says tomorrow will
be fair, and at him-fguratively speak
ing if he predicts anything else.
Hold the Coupons.
OF course the children got busy last
Sunday and bounced upon the coupon
in the morning paper. The coupon was
then laid away with his or her most
valued possessions or given to mama
to save until tomorrow.

good times on previous occasions the

United States is living reality and
that it applies equally to high and low,

and to private citizen.
Your long and conspicuous career as
jurist in one of the highest courts in
the world-the period which you have
spent in studying and expounding con-
situations and statutes-causes your
countrymen to believe that into the
exalted executive office to which they
are about to call you. you will carry
that profound respect for the consti-
tuition and the law which with you
has become a confirmed mental habit
and upon which depends the perpetuity

the high mission Of the Democratic
party whose head you have now be-
come.
TntO Your Hands,
Into your hands the Democracy has
committed its standard with abiding
faith in your courage. your integrity,
your honor, your capacity and your
patriotism. believing that under your
leadership we will achieve a signal
victory that your administration will
pe such a fortunate, such a happy era
ln our annals as to mark the begin
ming of a long period Of Democratic
ascendency, and that you will so dis
charge your duties as to rank in his
Tory one of the greatest and best be-
loved Of American Presidents.
The convention, according to DEM
ocratic custom, appointed a commit

Hcation Of your nomination together

citizens in the arts of peace,
or the absence of Fargo mill
tary ornaments, tends to impair
neither patriotism nor physical cour-
age, and for the truth of this l refer
the young men of to-day to the his
tory of the Civil War. For fifty years,
with the exception of the war with
Mexico, this country had been at peace,
with a standing army most of the
time of less than ten thousand men.
He who thinks that the nation had
grown effeminate during that period
should read the casualty rolls of the
armies on either side at Shiloh, An
tietam, Fredericksburg and Gettys-
burg, at Stone river and Chickamauga.
l would be the last man to pluck
single laurel from the crown of any
one of the military heroes to whom
this country owes so much, but / in
sist that their most heroic deeds pro-
ceeded infinitely more from devotion
to the country, than from martial
spirit.
AS l have already proceeded at too
great length, other questions sug-
gested in the platform, must await my

great responsibility, as well as the
great honor of the nomination bestow-
ed upon me by the convention you
represent this day. Be assured that
both are appreciated-so keenly APP
preciated that / am humbled in their
presence.
For One Term Only.
I accept, gentlemen of the commit
tee, the nomination, and If the action
of the convention shall be Endorsed
by an election by the people, / will.
God helping me, give to the discharge
of the duties of that exalted office
the best service of which 1 am capable
and at the end of the term retire to
private life. l shall not be candi-
date for, nor shall 1 accept a renomi-
nation. Several reasons might be adj
vanCed for this position, but the con-
trolling one with me is that | am full
ly persuaded that no incumbent of
that Office should ever be placed in n
situation of possible temptation to con-
slider what the effect of action taken
by him in an administrative matter
of great Importance might have upon
his political fortunes.
Questions of momentous con-
sequence to all of the people
have been in the past and will
be in the future presented to the
President for determination, and in
approaching their consideration, as
we'll as in weighing the facts and
the arguments bearing upon them, he
should be unembarrassed by any pos
sible thought of the influence his de-
cision may have upon anything what
ever that may affect him personally.
! make this statement, not in criticism
of any of our Presidents from Wash
ington down who have either held the
Office for two terms or sought to sue
coed themselves; for strong arguments
can be advanced in support of the re-
election of a President. It is simply
my judgment that the interests of this
country are now so vast and the ques-
lions presented are frequently of such
overpowering magnitude to the people
that II is indispensable to the mainte-
nance of BETTING attitude before the
people, not only that the Chief Mags
trate should be independent, but that
that independence should be known Of
all men.

the same spirit that actuated their IA

do if the need were more urgent.
My comradship in the United Spanish

highly than l can well say, and I wish
God-speed to all at their national en-
