The Indensndence Party.

Chicago, July 2S.-With a Temporary
organization perfected, the indepeDd-
euce party is resting on its oars today
while the committee on platform is
holding we'll nigh continuous SESSIONS
in the sttempt 10 produce q declaration
of principles that will meet with the
approval of the widely separated dele
gates.
Were it not for the personal Influence
OF William r. Hearst aud his immeii-
ate followers, the convention would en-
horse the NOMINEES of the recent demo-
cratic convention at Denver. There Is
very srong membership that favors
this course, but Hearst intends to EN-
phasze the hresk between himself and
Bryan, and in his sddress as temporary
chairman he openly charged that Bryan
Was so Influenced that "eVen his
honesty" Is in question.
Certain of The delegates are threaten
ing TO spring Bryan endorsement resO-
luton and force vote on it,
Hearsps speech as temporary chair
man caused much wonderment, as he has
openly asserted that he will not be the
candidate of the patty for president.
The Bryan element 10 the party asserts
there is good reason for this. "Hesrst
wants to kill of s)me Of his most noted
rivals this falP' they assert, land he
thinks the best way TO do this is to keep
them in the lime light. Two years from
now he will make personal fight 10
make a real showing in the political
arena at the State elections and then he
will be In a position to talk fusion in
the next presidential campaign. 10 this
way, he might realize his ancient hope
of being q candidate of a recognized
polite party for the presidency"
Charles A. Walsh, OF lows, will be
the permanent chairman of the conven-
ton when it resssembles this afternoon.
All speeches will be limited 20 FIVE min.
utes each.
The credentials committee had little
to do.
The committee on resolutions is striy-
ing earnestly with platform. 1t has
mot ey collection of political planks
t. select from, many OF which it is al
legged by the opponent, of the party were
"borrowtd ON populism and General
Jake Coxey." The committee has about
agreed to make the feature of the plat
form a strong referendum plank. It
recommends a corrupt practices at
drastic in the extreme which would
make it unlawful to expend money for
campaign purposes. There is decided
strife over the anli-injupctiOn plank. Tie
convention will nomint te tonight. Thos.
l.. Hisgen of Massachusetts, is still the
leading candidate for hono.s, but Reuben
Robbie Lyon of New York has the back
iug of that state delegation and all of the
other candidates insist his general will
have TO "show them" before the nomi-
nation is made. BY order of Hearst,
the resolutions committee this morning
inserted in the platform as suggested q
plank pledging the party to oppose
immigration.

TAFTs SPEECH OF ACCEPTANCE


The notification committee OF the
Chicago convention, headed by Senator
Warner of Missouri, went to Oumber-
land today and formally apprised
Judge w. H. Taft Of his nomination as
the republican candidate for President Of
The United States. Mr.. Taft's reply
was voluminOus, making a closely
printed psmphle. of over thirty pages.
1t was carefully worded, bore evidences
of revisions and prunings and had de-
cided smell of the lamp. The candidate
began by saying:
II am deeply sensible Of the honor
which the republican national conven-
ton has conferred on me in the nominr-
ton which you formally tender. &C.
cept it with full appreciation OF the
responsibility 1t impos,s. The strength
of the republican cause 10 the campaign
at hand is in the fact that we represent
the policies essential ID the reform of
known abuses, t. the continuance Of
liberty and true prosperity, and tbft we
are determined, as our platform unsquivo-
cally declares, to msiDt,in them and
carry them on"
Mr.. TAFT then proceeded to give
resume of the commercial prosperity OF
the country during the past decade and
the financial fever which accompanied
it, together with the I6gl methods
adopted to curb the recklessness on the
part OF some. He also referred to the
flurries and timidity brought abOut in
business circles in consequence.

IN SPITE OF vigorous criticism OF the
met sure the House of Lords on Saturday
PISSED the old-sge pensions bill on It's
second reading after rejecting motion
against it on Monday Of last wetk. The
vote was over seven to one In fsyer OF
the measura-123 vCt,s for 1t to 10
against it. The bill was stigmatiztd by
Lord Rosebery SIS socialism pure and
simple, and as exempliiyiug the growing
desire TO transfer responsibility from the
individual TO the state. He warned the
government to consider how far such ex-
periments could be carried without en-
dapgeriug the national deferss. The
estimate of the cost of pensions, Lord
Rosebery said, had already advanced
from 10000 600 to $40, 600, 900, and
everybody knew that it would not stop
at $50, 600, 900 or 500, OOO,O OO. Lord
Oromer, of Egyptian fame, who also
spoke against the bill, declared that 1t
would tend to cripple the nations re-
sources, and he created somtthing OF 8
stir by saying that it wss tbs fret duty
of the government to prepare for the
European conf ct which would probably
be forced upon Great Britain before
many years. There seems to be little
doubt about the fusl passage OF the bill,
which sets the course Of the Br tsh ship

ion that the reversal of the decision Of
Judge Lands by higher tribunal will
have q marked effect upon the general
financial conditions of the country.
The S29, 600, 600 fine gave feeling Of
unrest and insecurity to large corpora
tions, and the bottom dropped out OF the
market 10 consequence. donot believe
the fact that the president is going to
push the matter further will have much
effect upon the market. 1t the decision
of Judge Lands had been upheld by the
higher court we would have seen great
slump in prices, but as it is there seems
t. be little question that the market Is
on the upward trend.
