vxntlon was dominated by hi3 frifndä -and adopted a resolution present Inj? him as the candidate of the party of the State.' siii:xt ON ISSUES. "What are the issues before the country? The trust question ia certainly an issue, and yet there is nothing in that platform that gives any encouragement to the Opponent of the trusts. There is not a word or syllable that binds a person elected on such a platform to do anything that the trusts are unwilling to have done. The Kansas City platform stated tho party's position on the trust question, but the New York platform not only faila to indorse the last national platform, but also fail3 to profoe auy definite or positive plan of reief. "Imperialism i? an issue. Our government i now administering a colonial policy according to the politicul principles emX'loyeJ by George III a century and a quarter ago, and yet there is not in this platform a single word relating to the question of imperialism, not a plank that delines the party's position on that subject, not a protest atcainst thu surrender of the doctrlnc-H of pelf-government. The Kansas City platform Fluted the party's opposition to a colonial policy, hut the New York platform not only fails to indorse the Kansas City platform, but falls to take any position at all on this important question.. "The labor question is an Issue. The laboring men have been before the committee of Conjress endeavoring to secure three important measures. One is .the arbitration of differences between corporations engaged in interstate commerce and their employes. IJoth the Chicago and the Kansas City platforms declared in favor cf arbitration, but the New York platform not only fail to refer to the arbitration plan of these platforms, but it fails to write a new plank concerning this subject. The laboring men are also trying to secure an eight-hour day, but the New York platform is silent on this subject. The laboring men are trjlr.g to secure the ntxiit ion of government by injunction. Both the Chicago and the Kansas City platforms contained planks on this subject, but the N'ew York platform dodges this, aa It does fcll other vital questions. As the capitalist;: now have what they wapt and are in the positir.il of defendants in a suit, while the laboring it.uj are in the attitude of plaintiffs keeking relief, the failure of the New ork platform to advocate what the laboring mui desire is really a declaration against them. "On the tariff question no Issue is Joined. It was reasonable to suppose that on this question, nt least, something would be said, hut Air. I Uli and Jude Parker seem to be as much afraid of the tariff question aa of other issues. HONEY QUESTION IGNORED. "The money question is ignored entirely. No reference is made to bimetallism at any ratio not even to international bimetfcllism, to which Mr. Hill seemed to be so attached in the Chicago convention. No reference is made to the measure now before Congress to melt up nearly GOO.OOO.OOO legal tender silver dollars into subsidiary coin that is only a limited legal tender. Nothing is said about the asset currency Which is a part of the scheme of the financiers. Nothing is said about the Aldrich bill, which proposes to subsidize the bank3 Into opposition to tax reduction by loaning them the surplus money in the treasury. There is no condemnation of the corruption that such a wystom would lead to. The platform does not ;tntagoiiize the propositun nun lA'iuit' voii.mess tu gi ve ine national banks unlimited control over the . volume of paper money. In other words, there is not a line in the platform that is written in behalf of the people; not a line that will excite criticism in Wall street. "The plaform ignores the income tax; it falls to ituloire the election of senators by direct vote, and alo omits the plank of the Kansas city platform denouncing corporate domination in polities. "The New York platform i.s a dishonestplatform, lit only for a dishonest party. No one but an artful dodger would stand upon it. The subm'.sslrm of such a platform to the voters r a State is an insult to thexr intelligence, for it is Intended to deceive them, and a deliberate attempt to deceive especially so clumsy an attempt as this platform is is a retUclion upon the brains of those to whom it is submitted. "This platform proves that the opposition to the Kanis City platform is not opposition to silver, but opposition to every r.e-oVd refojm. and opposition to all that the masses desire. "I had expected that a platform prepared by Mr. Hill for Judge Parker would b-i evasive and lacking in frankness, but I "did rot conceive that any body of men calling themselves IXniocrats would present such a platform us a recommendation of a candidate. If we are to take the New York platform as. an indication of what the next Democratic pi Ui'ovm is to bo in case the reorganizers control the convention, then who will be able to deny the secret purpose of the reorganizers to turn the party over to predatory wealth?

MORTGAGED TO TRUSTS. . "Can anyone doubt that with such a platform as was adopted ; in w York, and with a candidate .'whose, coascience would permit him to run upon such a platformdoes anyone doubt that .with such a platform and candidate the party -would be mortgaged beforehand to the corporations that are now using the government as a private asset and plundering people at will? "Hut there is another reason why the Democratic party cannot afford to go before the country with an ambiguous platform and an uncertain candidate. No matter how people may differ as to the relative importance of issues all must recognize that the trust question to-day presents an important phase of the great conflict between plutocracy and democracy. We have recently had a Supreme Court decision on the merger case. This decision was rendered by a bare majority of one and that one (Judge Hrewer) in a separate opinion has stated his position in such, a way as to leave no doubt that in the first case involving a trust he may join the majority and defeat the Sherman law. The President to b elected this fall will doubtless have the appointment of one or two and possibly three Supreme Court judges. If his sympathies are with the corporations he will doubtless appoint Judges satisfactory to the corporations especially if obligated to the corporations by large campaign contributions and these judges can make it impossible to secure any remedial legislation for years to come. If, four years hence, the people should secure a President, a Senate and a House opposed to private monopolies they may find themselves unable to get any remedial legislation past the Supreme Court for several years. "The issue presented to-day in the trust question and. in all the other questions with which we have to deal is the question between human rights and the so-called property rights' or, more properly speaking, between ordinary people and the great corporations.. Those who believe that property rights are supreme take the side of the trusts.- If we have a President who is in sympathy with this theory it means that the dollar will be given consideration before the man. It means that organized wealth can continue to trample upon the rights of the people; it means that the instrumentalities of government can be used for the protection of every scheme of exploitation that the capitalists can conceive. "I, for one, am not willing that the Democratic party , shall become the tool of the corporations; I am not willing that it shall be the champion of organized wealth. And It la because I believe that the party has a higher mission than to be the exponent of plutocracy that I am protesting against the schemes of those who would put it into competition with the Republican party for the support of Wall-street financiers. It is for this reason thai I protest against mortgaging the party to the capitalists to secure an enormous corruption fund. FOLLY TO HOPE FOR VICTORY. "If any who are present to-night or who read what I say think that I am trying to Interfere with Democratic success, let me answer that no Democrat is more anxious for the party to succeed than I am. No one has suffered more from dissensions and divisions in the party, and no one, 1 believe, is more eager for the country to enjoy the great benefits which a triumph of real Democracy would bring. But I do not desire that the party shall win offices only. If that is the only purpose of the party, let its principles be abandoned and its platform simply declare the party hungry for the patronage. The lesson of shows the folly of hoping to win by a surrender to the corporations, but even if success could bo brought in such a way it would not be worth the price. "No one can defend the Democratic party without defending its principles, and its principles ought to be so clearly set forth as to be easily understood. We ought to appeal to the conscience of the public and arraign Republican policies as hostile both to the principles of free government and to the principles of morality. We have an opportunity to make the Democratic party a power in this country, not only a power, but a power for good. Let us array the party apainst every abuse of government and against every policy that is hurtful to the people. Let us drive out of the party every Democrat who betrays his trust, every official who would administer the office for his private advantage. Let us make Democracy stand not only for good government for honest government but for a' government 'of the people, by the people, and for the people. And the first sterliin this direction is . the adoption of a platform that recognizes the right of the people to decide public questions as well a their capacity for understanding public 1 niest Ions. To present a platform which is IUI A. wear nan Fancy Hose The patterns this season are the handsomest we have ever shown.

evasive and ambiguous shows that those who write the platform either distrust the. people who are to act upon it. or have purposes that they desire to conceal. '.The New York platform is ambiguou?, uncertain, evasive and dishonest. It would disgrace the Democrats of the Nation to adopt such a platform, and it ought to defeat, a3 an aspirant for a Democratic nomination, any man who would be willing to have it go forth as a declaration of hl3 views on public questions. In Illinois, in Wisconsin, in Michigan, in Minnesota, in Indiana, in Ohio, and in" every State that has not acted, it behooves the Democrats to arouse themselves and organize to th end that they may prevent the consummation of the schemes of reorganizers. Their scheme logins with the deception of the rank and file of the party. It is to be followed up by the debauching of the public with a campaign fund secured from the corporations, and it is to be consummated by the betrayal of the party organization and of the country Into the hands of those who are to-day menacing

IRIVIIIG DELEGATES ARE .THE CENTER OF INTEREST Political Workers' Already at the English Hotel Court Them Assiduously. USUAL ADVANCE GUARD

The crowd of politicians at the English Hotel, which is Republican headquarters for the state convention that will be held Tuesday and Wednesday of this week, was considerably augmented yesterday afternoon and'lat night. A number of skilled and experienced, political wire-pullers and manipulators who will line up with one or another of the numerous candidates made their appearance and immediately set to work to inHate the booms in which they are interested. Included among yesterday's arrivals were a few real live delegates from the outlying counties and they were immediately pounced upon by the candidates and their lieutenants. . However, most of the delegates now on the ground are pommitted hard and fast to one candidate or set of candidates, and they have come early in order to be prepared to do some work for their favorites. The delegates who are really susceptible to arguments and deals will not begin to arrive until to-night and to-morrow. ' The politicians now here comprise the usual advance guard that precedes every state convention and there have been no important developments during the last twenty-four hours for the reason that the men here have done little except boom this or that candidate and have not had the material on which to gret to work for "deals" that may make or break an aspirant for political preferment. There was the usual amount of gossip yesterday and some new features were injected by the later arrivals, especially by a delegation from Fort Wayne, but there was nothing that could be recosnized as "news." Last evening the gubernatorial candidates and their managers were interested in receiving the reports from Jefferson county, where tMe Itepublicans yesterday selected fourteen delegates to the state convention. Jefferson was the last county in the Stnte to choose delegates and the friends of both J. Frank Hanly and W. 1. Taylor expressed conttdencc of capturing a majority of the votes. As usual. the figures given out by the friends of each candidate differed 'materially. Union B. Hunt, speaking for Mr. Hanly, said he had been advised that Hanly would have eleven of thirteen delegates reported, with one delegate yet to be heard from. Later Mr. Hunt reported that he had been notified that the delegation would stand 12 to 2 in Hanly's favor. Friends of Mr. Taylor claimed that he would have at least nine of the delegates and possibly ten. None of the delegates in the county was instructed.. The friends of. these two candidates yesterday stood by their claims on Vigo county, which they had advanced the night before, the Hanly forces claiming twenty-two of the delegates, while the Taylor people said the delegation wouid line up 26 to 14 for their man. During the day the candidates for Lieutenant Governor and for reporter of the Supreme Court were busy getting In touch with the delegates to the state convention from the city of Indianapolis. The forces in the headquarters of Warren G. Sayre and Judge PenfieM were reinforced yesterday by arrivals from their respective districts. CUMMINS, OP-IOWA, AT THE CONVENTION The report that Governor Cummins, of Iowa, who is sojourning at French Lick, may attend the state convention and deliver an address at the opening session Tuesday afternoon seems to have created something of a flurry in Washington, according to the following dispatch sent last night by the Journal's correspondent there: " 'Hepburn, in a great speech to-day, said News of the 31. T. II. S. The students are now engaged in making next year's choice of subjects. Pitcures of the school's different athletic teams have been placed in the gymnasium. Roxio lantani. a graduate in the January, 04, class, will leave for California tomorrow nisht. The second advance report cards will be issued in a week. None of the school's athletes are in any danger. The boys who attended the sophomore leap-year dance have decided to give a return dance in about three weeks. As commencement time draws near the school is becoming flooded with advertisements from the various colleges and universities. The different "frats" of the graduating classes are now busy in preparing something for commencement evening. The something will probably be a dance or supper. The Saturday Afternoon Literary Club, composed of girl graduates, met yesterday afternoon at the home of Lizette Krauss. Miss Ilench gave a talk on the "Universities of Kugland." Dr. J. II. Pennlman, dean of the University of Pennsylvania, visited the school Thursday morning. He is making a study of the relationship between the high school and the university. The June, 04, class has decided to have its class picture taken at Nicholson's studio. Because of the size of the class there was a great deal of competition between thö city's different photographers. Some members are talking of introducing the canteen bill in the Senate. A former two-months' discussion of this bill was so hot that old senators yet delight in referring to "the good old days of the canteen bill." The Laconiau Maids, a girls' athletic club, will soon begin out-door work. During the winter they have studied nature under the direction of Miss Foy and practiced calisthenics in the gymnasium under the supervision of their manager. Miss Monninger. Dr. Cooper, the former instructor in civics and history, who is now working in Indian Territory, visited the school last vweek. He received a most cordial welcome from the students, and senators, from the latter because he formerly supervised the work of that body. The January and June classes of 1004 held a joint class meeting Friday evening in the school auditorium to decide upon several details of commencement. In determining the dress, the "masculines" and "feminines" held separate meetings in oposite corners of the. room. The boys decided to wear regular black suits, white vests with black four-in-hand ties. The girls will wear the tisual white dress and the customary unknown furbelows. The meeting 6f the Senate Friday was the most enjoyable and lively of any during the year. A great deal of fun was produced by the efforts of the members to observe certain rules of decorum, and the president was kept busy settling minor disputes. The bill up for discussion called for an annual report of all corporations with more than ,0 capital, and the debate waxed so hot that a vote was deferred until the next meeting. Following this bill comes one concerning cigarettes, introduced by two girls. This is the first time a girl has' ever introduced a measure, and the boys are expecting some fun at thefr expense. Shortridge. Helen Spain gave a theater party and luncheon for her guest, Miss Lewis, yesterday afternoon. The guests were Jessie Ragsdale, Grace Holt and Susan Brown. Two Shortridge dancing clubs will give dances this week. The Futurity Club will give one to-morrow night at Brenneke's and the Olynthians will hold sway Thursday night in the same hall. Mrs. Hanna Ripley, a Shortridge alumnus, has presented the school with seven new photosrraphM of scenes In Paris and of famous Statuts. They have been used to decorate the bare walls of the new history department. At its meeting Friday the fenior class n greed to take charge of the debate which is to be held next Friday in the Benjamin Harrison School. The tickets are now on sale and from the rresent outlook the affair will be a success. The Spinster' Club gave an original party at the home of Ora Williams Wednesday night. All of the- guests came in the dress of small children, the young women brought their dolls and the young men marbles and tops. The evening was spent In playing childish games.
