THE BALLOT TODAY
Who Will be Named for
Second Place, the
Question.
(By the Associated Press.)

st. Louis, Mo-, July 7.-Before to-
morrow night the Democratic .conven-
ton will have adopted a platform,
nominated candidates for President
and vice-president and adjourned sine
die, if the program of the leaders can
be carried out. Parker adherents are
now talking of securing his nomina-
ton on the first ballot, but they do not
anticipate more than two ballots at
the outside will be necessary. The
vote today on the Illinois case was q
fair test and it was favorable to Par
ker. There were GAG votes cast for
the 1 200 votes in the convention, the
"a of Illinois being withheld. The neg
-ative vote on Brydns minority report
was CAT which is 20 votes short of
the necessary two-t thirds to nominate.
1t represented with some exceptions
Parker's strength. although it has in
if also some of the opposition, includ-
ing the 80 votes of Massachusetts.
At the same time there were cast on
the other side eighteen votes of South
Carolina and the 26 votes of Kentucky
and Is votes of Louisiana. making a
total of y votes from States that have
declared for Parker. Deducting the
30 votes of Massachusetts from the
647 and adding the 81 votes of Parker
States, gives total of ca votes, which
may be classed as for Parker. In
addition there are votes in Illinois
ready to come to Parker when he
needs them.
With the end in sight, there is still
a chaotic condition i'm regard to the
ce-presidency. Among those whose
names are connected with the second
place are David II. Francis and Gov
ernor Alexander NJ. Dockery, ~of Mis-
souri,: John w. Kern, of Indiana;
James r. Williams, of Illinois; Sena-
tor John ID. Daniel, of Virginia; Gov
ernor Charles 3. Aycock, of North
Carolina, and George Turner, of
Washington. Quite an effort has been
made to concentrate on Francis and
the same effort for Kern. The Caro-
linas are for Aycock and the Virginia
delegation tonight secured the consent
of Senator Daniel for the presentation
Of his name.

hons wife. For some time Chrishom
and his wife had not been on the best
of terms and he had once before ourn-
ed up her clothes ana attempted to
burn the house in which she. lived.
The evidence produced in the court
was that on the night of the fire Chris

dressed, and taking with him a bottle
Of kerosene, left his boarding house.
In a short while he returned and
went 10 bed. In a few minutes after
this the fire was discovered. One wit

Asheville, N. c., July S.-Will
Boone, of Yancey county, a young
man of pleasing appearance and of
desperate character, who last Satur-
day shot and killed Ed. Moseley at
Pinola, Mitchell county, over a one
cent piece of money, and VINO since
that time has been Il fugitive from
Justice with a price on his head com
mitted suicide on the upper waters OF
Flat Creek in the northern section OF
Euncombe county shortly before .
o'clock last night.
The killing OF Moseley occurred at
or close to Pinola sometime during
Saturday afternoon. The young men
had been engaged in playing game
of "crack-a-loo" with pennies, when a
dispute arose and Will Boone shot his
victim dead.
1t is said that he left Immediately
and was not heard of again until he
appeared in Asheville one day this
week. He was recognized by several
friends, but the murder of young
Moseley was not at that time known
here. Boone soon left Asheville and
made his way to the Flat Creek sec
ton.

the following statement regarding the
killing this morning:
"Will Boone and his first cousin,
Crum Boone, were at Il spring, about

and heard q pistol shot and went out
in the yard and started toward the

reached him. His right hand was ~
ing on his breast and the pistol was
| lying perhaps two feet away. The
bullet had entered his forehead just
above the right eye; Crum Boone
said that he left Will at the spring
while he went to the house to see if
We had finished supper. When he had
gone half the distance he heard the
shot, and we both went to the spot to-
gether.'
At the inquest Crum Boone said that
he did not know of any reward being
offered for Will until yesterday; that
he did not think of arreSting his cousin

would not have given him away. He
said that Will Boone spoke of suicide
and showed him a bottle of laudanum,
which the deceased stated was for the
purpose of killing people.
Crum Boone was subjected to q rigid
examination. He said that he and his
cousin had always been good friends.
After listening to the evidence the

The Tariff and Trusts.
4. The Democratic party has been
and Will continue to be the consist
ent opponent of that class OF tariff
legislation by which certain interests
have been permitted. through Con-
gresSional favor, to draw a heavy tri-
butte from the American people. This
monstrous perversion of those equaj
opportunities which our political in
situations were established to secure
has caused what may once have been
infant industries to become the great
est combinations of capital that the
world has ever known. These pub
i1cly favored enterprises have through
trust methods been converted into
monopolies, thus bringing to an end
domestic competition, which was the
only check upon the eXtravagant prof
its made possible by the protective
system. These industrial combinat
tons, by the financial assistance they
can give, now control the policy OF
the Republican party
we favor wise, conservative and
buSinesS-like revision and a graduai
reduction of the tariff by the friends
of the masses and for the common
wealth. and not by the friends of its
abuses, it's eXtortionS and it's disl
examinations, keeping in view the III
innate end of equality of burdens and
equality of opportunities, and the
constitutional purpose of raising a
revenue by taxation, to-wit, the sup
port of the Federal government in all
it's integrity and virility, but in sim
plicity; and keeping also in view, as
men Of common sense should, existing
conditions, however WrOngfully, mis-
takenly or unjustly brought about.
and the danger to the cause of tariff
reform itself tof abrupt and revo-
lutionary reversal of policy.
We should bear in mind in short,
these two things:
First, the general principle that the
sole derivation of the power of taxa
ton is the support of the Federal gov
ernment economically, effectively and
constitutionaliy administered; and
Second, the equal truth that in the
assertion Of any general principle and
in reaching any ultimate end, how
ever, sacred and logically unavoidable,
due regard, but only due regard must
and should be paid to actually existing
conditions.
5. We favor the reduction of tariff
taxation upon trust-produced articles
to the point where foreign competition
ever trusts and combines, seeking
monopoly, raise their prices to the
consumer above q reason
able and just profit, by such reduction
trusts and monopolies of
the power to extort from the Ameri-
can people, under shelter of American
law, prices higher thar those charged
foreigners for identical articles.
The Money Question
The discovery of money within the
past few years and the great increase
iH the production thereof, adding two
thousand million dollars to the world $
supply, of which seven hundred mill
lion falls to the share of the United
States has contributed to the main
tenance of a money standard of value
no longer open to question, removing
that issue from the field of political
contention.
