PLATFORM BUILT
OF HISTORY PLANKS
WHAT A GRAND OLD PARTY!
THAT AND ROOSEVELT ARE THE
SLOGANS.

Chicago, June 22-The following Is
the platform the convention adopted
without a dissenting vote:
Fifty years ago the Repubh-
can party came into existence ded-
icated, among other purposes, to the
great task of arresting the extension
of human slavery. In 1860 it elected it's
first President During twenty-four
of the forty-four years which have
elapsed since the election of Lincoln,
the Republican party has held COM
plete control of the government For
eighteen more Of the forty-four years
it has held partial control, through the
possession Of one of the two branches
. of Congress, while the Democratic par
ty during the same period has had
complete control for only two years.
This long tenure of power by the Re-
publican party is not due to chance.
1t is a demonstration that the Republi-
can party has commanded the conf
dence of the American people for near
ly two generations to a degree never
equalled in our history, and has dis
played high capacity for rule and
government which has been made even
more conspicuous by the incapacity

TEXAS FOR PARKER.
Instructed Its Delegation to Vote
for Him for President.

San Antonio, Tex, June 22.-The
State Democratic Conventions finished
it's business to-day. One of the strong
est delegations ever elected in this state
was chosen and instructed to vote Tor
Judge Parker, and to vote as a unit
on all questions.
A feeling of party unanimity and
earnestness ruled throughout. The
platform adopted was short, embrac-
ing merely an enunciation of Demo-
cratic fundamental principles. There
was vigorous and successful opposition
to a minority report proposing a plank
declaring against asset currency and
the control of money by national banks.
On recommitment the platform was
made to contain the words;
I'VE are opposed to unit currency
and the control of the volume of money
by the banking power"
A motion that the delegates at ST.
Louis be instructed to place Senator
Bailey in nomination for vice presi-
dent was ruled out of order. Sena-
tors Culberson and Bailey, Judge John
H. Reagan, James B. Wells, Hon.
T. D. Cobbs of San Antonio. Judge
Howard Templeton of Sulphur Springs
Clarence Ousley of Fort Worth and
ex-Congressman Thomas Ball were
elected delegates at large.

Nfoyer Says If what Bell states Is
True.


True.
Cripple Creek, Col, June Elm reply
to a telegram from an Eastern news
paper, Charles H. Meyer, president
of the Western Federation of Miners,
who is now prisoner in the county
Jail here, has sent an extended state
ment on the present condition in the
state from his viewpoint. Mr.. Meyer
says in part:
1.-The deportation of the union men
and others being, in my opinion, un-
lawful, the Western Federation of Min
ers will use all lawful means to re-
establish their members in their homes.
No violence will be resorted to. but
such legal steps as may be necessary
to bring about the desired results will
be taken at the proper time. Pending
such action, deported miners and their
families will be supported by the fed
grafton.
Gen Bell claims that his policy has
been successful and that other states
are expected to follow suit. If this
be true, then rebellion is not improb-
able, as the great majority of the
American people are to-day condemn
ing such system and, regardless of
.unionism, would bitterly resist any at
tempt to put the same into practice.
II disagree with the General as to
the labor troubles being settled in Colo

HEARST OR PARKER;
WHICH IN MINNESOTA.

Duluth, Mimi, June 22.-The Hearst
forces captured the temporary organ
ization of the State Democratic Con-
vention for the selection of delegates
to the national convention to-day by a
vote of 457 to 404, and it was expected
they would be strong enough to in
struct the delegation for their candi-
date. But at a late hour tonight the
anti-Hearst forces were making a very
vigorous fight, and the chances ap-
peared to be about even.
The anti Hearst element are believed
to favor the candidacy of Judge Par
ed that all they seek is to send an
uninstructed delegation to the national
convention.
The "antis" are led by Congressman
John Lind.
For a time il looked as though
Hearst sentiment would rule in every
thing, and 1t doubtless would have done
so, had II not been for a speech Of
Congressman John Lind, who turned a
crowd OF excited delegates, who clam
orcd for an instructed delegation, into
one which expressed itself when the
vote came as opposed TO lnstructing
for Hearst or any other man. The anti
Hearst men secured three Of the four
delegates al large and VIII get an even
break on the district delegates.

N. C. FAVORS PARKER, BUT
MAY NOT INSTRUCT.

Raleigh, N. c., June 22.-The Dem
ocratic State Convention meets in
Greensboro tomorrow. Judging from
the views of men high in the coun-
ellis of the party, instructions for Par
ker are not very likely. not because
the delegates do not favor him for
President, but because instructions are
contrary to precedent in the Democratic
conventions of this state.
There are four men in the race for
the governorship, Maj. C. NJ. Sted-
man, Hon. r. B. Glenn, Gen. Theo-
dore F. Davidson and w. D. Turner,
lieutenant governor of the state. Glenn
and Stedman are admittedly the strong
est of these candidates, but it is be-
lieved by many that in the stubborn
fight promised between them one of
the other candidates, or a dark horse,
may eventually be chosen.

Atlanta, June 22-The General AS
sembly of 1904 was called to order at
10 o'clock this morning by President
Howell of the Senate and Speaker
Morris of the House. 1t required but
a few minutes for each body to notify
the other that it was organized and
ready for business, and for both to
give the Governor notice to the same
effect. The legislative wheels then be-
gan to grind.

Chicago, June 22.-Entries in the
vice presidential race are being
scratched with great rapidity since
the withdrawal of Representative
Hit was announced to-day.
Colorado, Nebraska, Wisconsin
and Missouri have all practically
decided not to place their favorite
sons in nomination. Positive an
nouncements to this effect. how
ever, have not been made. The
course pursued when the roll of the
states is being called for nominal
tions will govern.
The Missouri delegation tonight
seems least inclined to abandon
their intention to place Mr.. Wal
bridge in nomination. A meeting
of the delegation was called for the
purpose of caucussing on the ques-
tion. 1t was postponed until to-
morrow morning, and the opinion is
expressed that no other nomination,
except Senator Fairbanks, will be
made. The Wisconsin delegation
has come to the same conclusion
without a meeting regarding pre-
senting the name Of Gov. Schofield.
However, if Colorado should set
the pace by making it a free-for-
all event. each state will bring
forth it's aspirant without hesita-
tion.

New York, June 22.-That the ILL
fated steamer General Slocum had no
life preservers aboard less than nine
years old was admitted by counsel of
the Knickerbocker Steamboat Com
pany at the inquest to-day.
Miss Hall, the bookkeeper of the COM
pany, had testified concerning several
bills for preservers, in which she had
erased the name Grand Republic. the
sister ship of the Slocum, and subsn-
tuted that of the latter. Notwith-
standing this, counsel for the company
said they would make the admission
as to the age of the belts, as they were
unable to prove to the contrary. Evil
dence was also brought out that the
United States inspectors did not exam
inc the fire hose and stand pipes. and
that the preservers were not in good
shape.
Bodies Come to Surface.
Although a week has elapsed since
the steamer went to destruction on
North Brother Island the bodies of its
victims continue to be found in the
waters adjacent to the scene of the dis
aster. To-day thirty-seven came to the
surface, making the total number re-
covered SS3. OF these 77s have been
identified.
Despite the fact that the police are
bending every energy towards getting
a complete list of those who went on
the ill-fated excursion, definite figures
as to the number missing cannot be
given. From present indications, how
ever, it is apparent that the death roll
will total nearly a thousand.

Tomorrow 100 pblcemen who speak
German will begin a house-to- house

These officers will make up a

districts, with their individual fates.
From these lists, a anal report, en-
bodying all the 9ames. will be pre-

BRIGHT ANGEL HOTEL
The New Hotel to be Ready by the First of
 the Year: VIII be Known ss "EI Tovar."

The new Harvey hotel on the brink of the Grand Canyon is nearly com pleted. As the work progresses it be- comes more and more evident that for novelty of architecture and design and convenience for the tourist public, the new building will be unsurpassed.
 It has been decided to name tha new hostelry Fl Tovar, instead of Bright Angel tavern. Pedro del Tovar, is traditionally credited with being the first white man to penetrate into the mysterious depths of the Titan of chasms, and consequently the name will not be without historical signifi- canoe. The naming of the hotel after the Spanish will be in line with the Alyarado, tastaneda and Cardenas, given to the other elegant Harvey hotels.
 ''El TovaT' will undoubtedly be one of the finest land most unique hotels in the southwest when completed, and it's location ai few steps from the brink of the stupendous canyon is unrivaled for scenic granduer in the whole world.
 The Bright Angel trail to the Colo. rado flyer in the bottom of the gorge starts directly from the door,
 "El Tovar" has been under con struction for many months. It is modelled after the old Swiss taverns. Its appearance is that of an immense log house.

NEW SUPERINTENDENT
Ben Daniels Succeeds Col. GrIffith as Sup. intendent of the Territorial Prison.
 chsnae Occurs October L.

Rumor developed into a fact Mon- day when it was announced that the resignation of Col. w. NJ. Griffith, su- perintendent of the territorial prison, had been accepted by Governor Bro die and that B. r. Daniels of Nogales had been appointed to succeed him. This change in the management of the prison had been a matter of common report at Yuma and Tucson but it was not known when it would take place, says the Republican.
 Both Col. Griffith and Mir. Daniels came to town Monday morning and called on the governor Soon after that it was given out that Mir. Daniels would succeed to the superintendency of the prison and would take charge on the first.
 The resignation of Col. Griffith was submitted some time ago. He gave as his reason in presenting it that he was extensively engaged in mining busi- ness and his affairs had reached such stage that they demanded his per- sonal attention. Among the proper ties with which he is connected is a large group of claims south of Casa Grande. Professor J. w. Prout, the well known mining engineer and ex- pert, is associated with him and late ly they entered into an arrangement by which they would receive large sum of money to be expended in the development of the property.
 Before the governor took action on the resignation he sent for Mir Dan- iels, who came here about two weeks ago. The question of his succession was talked over and at first Mir. Dan iels was disposed to decline the posi- tion on the ground that he was tied up with partner in mining and ranch enterprises in Mexico. At that time no decision was arrived at but later Mir. Daniels informed the governor that he would accept the supernten- dency. He at once left for Yuma to acquaint himself with the affairs of the prison. He and Col. Griffith came from there together. Col. Griffith left for home last night Mir. Daniels will remain in town today and will leave for Yuma tonight and take charge next Saturday.
 Col. Griffith has been superinten- dent of the prison for the last two years and has been one of the most efficient officials in charge in the his- tory of that institution.
 MT. Daniels is well known through out the territory and the southwest. At the outbreak of the war with Spain he enlisted in an Indian Territory troop organized to become a part of th9 Rough Riders. He served in the Cuban campaign with President Roosevelt, who mentions him in the most favorable terms in his book on that famous campaign.
 Very soon after the presidents &C., cession to the office he appointed Mir. Daniels United States marshal for this 1 territory but the appointment was hung up in the senate and subseauent- ly withdrawn.
