KENNELS OF POLITICAL ACT
Mr.. Jerome fairly brought down the
house when he declared that the citizens
Of New York do not forget q bribing cor
poration Is n natural correlative OF a black
mailing Legislature, and they are more
afraid of the dishonesty Of their own SER
wants than Of the evils which come from
corporations"
linen followed these kernels Of political
facts from Mr.. Jerome, all OF which were
applauded:
They are wearied with the cries Of the
demaRoRue."
They are disguised with the squabbles
and base ~chicanery Of the politicians"
What they want is men and not meas
ures."
@They nave little faith in new laws while
there is not honesty and capability enough
in public servants to work the Old
The prime desire is for upright men
of known character; men who will serve
the people and not party machines; men
Of whom they shall feel that II what is ex-
pected is not done it is because it cannot
be DON and not because earnest and honest
effort has not been made"
Mr.. Jerome's speech is given in full in
another column.
When Mr.. Jerome finished he came in
for more applause as he returnedto his
seat far back in the hall.

Chairman Shepard in introducing Ex-
Mayor Osborne Of Auburn said:
You will remember when in 1900 on
many Of US remember. Of despair and de-
feat, there was n CLEAN Of light from
one city Of this State when we learned
that the regular Democratic candidate
there, in a city heavily Republican, had
been chosen Mayor Of the city. carrying
every district Of that Republican city ex-
cept one. Again we rejolced in 1902 when,
running for reelection as Mayor. he was
reelected although the city a carried
by the Republican State party by a ma
and we will rejoice to hear him. call
upon the Hon. Thomas NJ. Osborne Of Au-
burn to make the next address,
HEARsr's ETH SCORED.
Mr.. Osborne got a riproaring welcome
and with him IL was no mincing OF words
from the time he opened his lips until he
finished hls speech. He said very truth
fully that the facts speak for themselves.
Speaking Of the Hearst movement in the
State Mr.. 0borne declared 10 strong tones.
which brought OUT hearty applause:
We voice moeov our sense OF out
rage over the practices which have been
and are still being carried on all over the
State in an attempt to forestall and de
termine the action OF the Democratic con-
vention. We nave seen hired agents parade
over the State shouting out in terms rising
from e~xtravagance to ~blasphemy the merits
OF their millionaire employer; We have seen
caucuses snapped, a. he S-oome. Chautau-
qua, Cortland and ,dler counties; proxies
forged, as in 0rlesr" N'uaJy; conventions
purchased, as in Way ne county; delegates
openly bribed for riot and disorder, az in
county; an attempt to deceive q
whole community by a muzzled press, as
in Erie county; newspapers blackmailed,
"a in Monroe and Onondaga counties; and
who can estimate the amount Of lying,
blackmail. bribery and corrupt promises
necessary to make such q kind Of campaign
even partially succeseful?'"
Another uttsrance by Mr.. Osborne was
greeted with unanimous cheers. He said:
I'VE have already suffered enough from
the efforts OF business interests to purchase
OF our party for business purposes.
We submit now 10 the efforts Of a
multimillionatre to purchase the control Of
our party for personal purposes'" tCries Of
mo, no!"l
CARLISLE RoAsTs AIRS
Secretary Carlisle Of the Democratic
State committee was then introduced by
Mr.. SHEPARD and he too, spoke out in meet
ing. The fact that Mr.. Carlisle is secretary |
of the Democratic State organization made
his remarks. in the estimation OF many
delegates to the conference. OF more than
usual Importance. for the reason that Mr..
has been in a position to know
whereof he speaks. This part of Mr.. Car
isles speech was heartily a~pplauded:
He Hearst has repeatedly refused TO
the action Of Democratic oonven-
tons in the past and has openly bolted
party nominations. He deliberately
opposed the election OF Judge Parker and
While holding Office by the
Of the New York city DEMOCRACY
bolted the ACTION Of their city conven-
ton, ran fol. Mayor and openly entered
into combination with Boss Odell by
which he indorsed Republican candidates
for Members of Assembly and Aldermen.
whereby we lost a number OF Democratic
Assembly districts and lost control Of the
Board OF Aldermen. It is not Democratic
when its mover deliberately and maliciously
attacks every Democrat OF any prominence
in the State or nation who may in any way
see, fit to interfere with his pre-
30 far has escaped his attacks except Mr..
Bryan, and to-day who can doubt his I'M
attitude to him.. The so-called
third party movement is deliberately or
ganized to try to force Hearst's nomina-
ton to the Presidency, and IL is only a CUES
ton OF time when Mr.. Bryan will nave to
RUIZ the gauntlet Of his open attack"

beginning Of this despatch were handed
up by Mr.. Richmond and read by the secne-

and enthusiastically adopted. Ex-Mayor
Osborne then moved that when the oon-

on September rs, and this also was
adopted. Mr.. Shepard said later in the
day that he would appoint the COMMITTEES
Of five called for in the resolutions within
a few days.
JEROME
District Attorney jerome said after the
conference:
THE meeting was a perfect delight TO
