BRYAN MEN LOSE.
Guffey Retains His Hold On Pennsyl-
vania Democracy.

Harrisburg, Pa, May 2o.-The Demo-
cratic organization Of Pennsylvania,
headed by National Committeeman
James M Guffey, of Pittsburg, today
defeated the Bryan faction of the party
in the state convention on the question
of instructing the four delegates at
large. The Bryanites are in favor of
binding instructions for the Nebraskan,
while the Guffey forces are absolutely
opposed to tying them down to any
candidate. The Bryanites put up the
stiffest kind of a fight. The first def
mite announcement that the organiZa-
ton was still in control was when the
vote of the committee on permanent
organization on the selection OF per-
manent chairman was announced.
The platform after charging the Re-
publicans with acknowledgment, ex-
travagance and obstinate refusal TO
enact much needed and insistently de-
manded legislation" denounces tine
ecutive of legislative and judicial func-
tons The platform demands an i'm
mediate and Just revision OF the tarlH
laws and the enforcement of the anti
trust laws. not by threat, but by per-
formance; demands remedial currency
legislation. denounces the tendency
towards over increasing the burden OF
taxation and while believing In an
army and navy upon footing COM
mensurate with the dignity and power
of the United States. 1t says:
I'VE derogate and condemn the policy
of the government when it seeks to I'M
duly increase our fighting strength"
The platform concludes:
Believing that the time is ripe Tor
a restoration of the control of the gov
eminent to the party which was found
ed in the earliest days of the republic
and that the voters are willing to join
in such a movement, we call upon all
members of the organization In ma

ness OF past differences to construct
such a platform, and place upon it can.

Is Influence of Bryan on Human
Thought, Declares an Orator.

Lansing. Mich. May 2o-The Demo-
cratic state convention was call
ed to order today by State
wh cha nan ns John ha1svso T. -, Winshi 2,
| the country are about to turn to the
| Democratic party for relief from over
| taxation and other evils from which
| they are now suffering. A. NJ. Cum
| minis of Lansing, the temporary chair
man, addressed the convention in part
as follows:
ITO see so many of the principles for
which the Democratic party first stood,
| winning SO much of Republican support
that they could be enacted in law, is
| to see the most substantial kind Of sue
cess.
Bryan in the garb of the citizen has
| been as potent for the country's good
as Roosevelt in the robes Of state. The
Democratic party in defeat has been
| as powerful as the Republican party in
victory.
"Of course we all regret the fact that
panics and trade depression will
come, but there is no Disgusting the
| fact that we are glad. if trouble had
| to come, it came after II years of COM
| plete and uninterrupted Republican
| control of all branches Of government.
THE panic Of 1893 became acute just
after the beginning of Democratic ad-
ministration and the people held that
administration responsible for 1t. BY
any sort of fair play what ought they
to do now, when panic and depression
came after eleven years of complete
Republican rule?
who refuses to take the tariff off OF
wood pulp that our resources may be
conserved and our people relieved from
oppression?
IF the Dingley tariff is very far
wrong today it has been far wrong all
the time and the leaders of the Re
publican party have known it, but they
have consistently refused to pay at
tention to the wrong and oppression
of that tariff or to grant any relief OF
their own will and pleasure and they
only begin to talk about revision when
the restlessness of the country under
it's burdens becomes so apparent that
they fear defeat.
From now until November, all the
dishonest wealth of the country, all
the seekers after special privileges, all
those who would lay excessive and un-
Just tribute on the necessities of the
people will be found arrayed against
US, and their name is legion and their
strength is great. 4s>f
Against this we must oppose the
courage and the brain and the man.
hood of our great party And, under
the leadership and inspiration of him
whose voice and pen have Influenced
for good the thought and convictions
of more men than did ever any other
man in like period in all the tide OF
time, save only the man Of Galilee, we
shall at last have a worthy fight and
1 believe shall win signal victory"
That the Michigan delegation to
Denver would be instructed to vote
for W. j. Bryan for the presidential
nomination was the unanimous opinion
among the delegates. Sentiment seem
ed also favorable to the selection OF
John T. Winship of Saginaw and w
N Ferris of Big Rapids as two of the
four delegates at large. For the re-
naming two a number of candidates
were mentioned.

LlLLEY'S BOOMERANG.
His Charges in Regard to Electric Boat
Company RecOil.

Washington, May 20.-That Repre-
sentative George L. Lilley Comm was
not warranted in bringing charges
against certain of his colleagues in the
house and accredited members of the
press is the conclusion reached by the
special committee named by Speaker
Cannon to investigate methods en-
ployed by the Electric Boat company
of New Jersey in connection with legis-
lation before congress. In an exhaust
i've report submitted to the house today
Chairman Boutelle and his colleagues
review the testimony brought out be-
fore the committee in hearings ex-
tending over several weeks, and de-
clare with entire unanimity that no
member of the house and no repre-
sentative of the press have been in
duced by officers of the Electric Boat
company to act from corrupt or i'm
proper motives.
Furthermore, the committee finds
that Mr.. Lilley allowed himself to be
used as an instrument to the Lake
Boat company in questioning the in
tegrity and fairness of the members
of the investigating committee and in
attacking competing submarine COM
pany. Mr.. Lilley is charged also with
maintaining an attitude of bad faith,
both in bringing the charges and con-
cealing from the committee the identi-
ty of the real parties in interest, be-
yond the investigation.

CORN IS LOWER.
Patterns Corner Showed Little
Activity in Today's Dealings.

Chicago, May 20.-There was little
activity in the Patten corn Corner
today and prices eased off n from the
closing price of yesterday. The anx-
ious demand which came from the
shorts yesterday was not in evidence
today and offerings of May corn were
in greater volume than yesterday May
corn opened &c higher at rs c and
sold down to 77hc, where it closed at
the low price of the day. Several of
the leading commission houses, and
one in which Patten is a partner, were
free sellers of May corn. Reports
from the country were to the effect
that liberal. shipments were being
made to apply on May contracts.
The control of the market which is
possessed by Patten at the present time
consists of his possession of large
amounts of cash corn, and with liberal
shipments coming in, the market to-
day showed a tendency toward love-

for General Assembly.

Kansas City, Mo-, May 20.-Rev.
Henry William Roberts ofPhiladelphia,
moderator of the Presbyterian church
in the United States of America with a
party of 500 Presbyterians from the
east, arrived here early today in
special train.
DIR. Roberts Immediately set to work
outlining the vital work of the general
assembly which convenes here tomor-
row. DR.. Roberts is the stated clerk OF
the general assembly and brought with
him the official program of the import
ant questions to be taken up by the
conference. The real Importance OF
these questions will develop as they
come up in the business sessions of the
conference. 1t is already known, how
ever that the report of the committee
on fraternity and union will show a
strong sentiment favorable to the
amalgamation of the different branch
es of the Presbyterian church.
The spirit of the conference, it is
said, will favor not only an effort to
bring closer together all Presbyterian
churches, but to strive to harmonize
all organized religion.
Authorized delegates from all parts
of the United States arrived here TO-
day and when the conference meets
every state and territory will be repre-
scented. The conference will attracf
thousands of Presbyterians,w who are not
