A scene euch as no delegate at the state democratic convention, which closed today, ever witnessed before and which is without parallel in the history of conventions, except p?rhaps that in 1S7S, when Seymour was nominated by acclamation against the wishes of the majority of the delegates, took place in the Casino rink today, when all mentioned candidates were forgotten and the advent of David 13. Hill's nam? caused a stampede in his favor. Fifteen hundred people stood upon their feet, yelling themselves hoarse. Two band of music tried to drown the tumult and Senator David B. I X ill pounded violently, but ineffectually, with his gavel in an attempt to restore order. It was a scene of disorder, but of enthusiasm that will probably not be witnessed in a decade. It was the strange situation of a presiding officer of a convention, evidently against his expressed desires, being forced to accept a unanimous nomination when other candidates had been presented and apparently accepted by the delegates. While the scene wis a remarkable one. it was not altogether an unexpected one. The Associated Press dispatches of the past few days have indicated that there was every probability that the convention would be stampeded for David Ii. Hill. Mr. Ilitt had finished his speech, nominating Jahn IJoyd Thachcr. and had been received with enthusiasm. Delegates looked at one another and expected that the n mination would be made by acclamation. Even Senator Hill himself, with the gavel in hand, had ordered the roll to h called and breathed a sigh of rflivf. evidently believir.fr the crisis had pasi-d. Bit a slight built man from Allegany c-ntnty, who had never been known in the councils of the party, threw a fire-brand which created a sensation aim"?; beyond belief. When the county was reached Delegate Reynolds arose, an 1. amid intense silence, said: "The i-nited delegation from Allegany county d-sires- to place in nomination for governor its first and only choice, David Bennett Hill." Then occurred one of the wildest scenes that could be imatrined. Delegates Jumped upon the chairs, spectators crowded into the aisle, hats were thrown heavenward, canes with ribbons waved and men yelled themselves hoarse in their cheer after cheer that almost rent the frail building in twain. Hill 1'ule vrltU Emotion. Senator Hill grew pale with emotion, but in an almost fain-t hope that he would be able to stem, the tide, pounded vigorously with th" gavel and cried for order. The secretaries left their desks and Jumping upon chairs also cheered with the multitude. Bourke Cockran. John R. Fellows, Mayor Gil my, Thomas F. Grady and other leaders jumped upon the press tables and urged on the applause. The. only persons in the hall who were seated were tho-se few members of the press who, during the chaos, were endeavoring to complete their stories. Finally, from shier exhaustion, the vast audience ceased its applause enoutrh to allow Senator Hill's voice to be heard, and in a husky voice he said: "J am grateful to the democracy of the Empire state for their courtesy and kindness and support In the past, but I mu.t say to you that I cannot be your candidate again for governor." There were cries of "No, no," and "You're the only man," fmm the delegates, and the applause was renewed. But tn the Interval Senator Hill managed to insist that tho roll of delegates should be called. Kenator McMahoin said: "I rise to th point of order that the roll-call may be dispensed with by a unanimous vote of the de.egates." Senator Hill "I have had some slight parliamentary experience myself, and the roll-call cannot be dispensed with by unanimous consent." The clerk, therefore, began to call the rolL Several county leaders aro?e and announced their delegations for Senator urn. Senator Gny' Speech. New York wa-5 reached and Senator Guy Jumped to hi feet. There were cries of "Platform," but he stood cm a chair and the delegates listened breathlessly to what he had to say. He spoke as follows: "I had hoped, Mr. Chairman, that some ona older and' better known in the1 coun clla of our party than myself would perform the duty which I feel called upon to perform now. It is Incumbent upon us to select the man, who, in; the largest measure, repreen?9 the hopes, the exoec tations, the principles of the democratic party, and who can best meet tin? reeds' of thd hour. (.Loud cheers and cries for David Bennett Hlil.) There is one man in the state of New York, Mr. Chairman, whoso name is upon the lips of every live democrat: of this- state. His name is not only upon their lips, but enshrined In, their h?irt. Th? very mention of hl3 name revives nr pe in every democratic breast and strikes terror to the hearts of our enemies. (Renewed ch?-rs.) He has never failed the democracy and In its hour of need he cannot fail it now. He has led us to counties victories under adverse circumstances In the past and he will and must lead U3 now. In the councils of the ration he ha3 added luster to the name of the Empire state and in the heroic bat tie for democratic principles which he waged side by side with our democratic president ne has won thousands and thouin3 oX friends among those who were

formerly his enemies. Ha represents In th largest measure every principle that we love. He represents courage, constancy, fidelity to party and devotion to principles. He represents broad, liberal Americanism. He represents religious freedom and liberty. (Cheers long and loud.) He has told U3 that he cannot accept our nomination. (Cheers, cries of "ha will, he will.") But I say to you. gentlemen, that we owe a duty to the democracy of this state higher than any courtesy even to him. In the name of that democracy, against the wish of our presiding officer, and, if needs be, in defiance of it, I place in nomination in the nime of the democracy of the state of New York, the one man who typifies all that demxracy typifies. I present the name of that greatest living exponent of democratic principles Senator David B. inn." Bourke Cockran Helps 'Em Ont. He had Toarely finished when the same scene that occurred when Hill's name was first mentioned was repeated. The delegates pushed down the aisleä toward the front and threatened to invade the stage. Senator Hill said out of the din: "The rules of the assembly are in force here and the roll-call should be allowed to proceed." The gavel was banged several times, and as applause subsided somewhat it was almost as immediately resumed, when, Jumping upon the press tables and from there to the stage, Bourke Cockran faced the audience and waved both hands for order. In an instant the noise subsided and the congressman began an Impassioned spaech dalilng upon the convention to disregard Senator Hill's declination and to make him the candidate. When Mr. Cockran had finished the scene that had preceded this was as a mere nothing in comparison with the pandemonium which reigned for at least five minutes. Vainly did Senator Hill use the gavel and call upon tfce delegates for order. At the sound of his voice the applause took on new Impetus. At least when some quiet was restored the senator demanded that the roll-call proceed under the rules of the assembly, adopted as the rules of the convention. Clerk De Freest began the calling of the roll amid cries of "call slowly." As each county was called its leader arose and declared for David B. Hill. Congressman Cockran evidently did not like the delay, for springing upon the table of the Associated Press, he said: "All who are in favor of the nomination by acclamation will say aye." There was a mighty shout, and to the same summons for "those opiosnl no," there was not a voice hoard. Then, turning to Senator Hill, he said: "Sir, the people summon you to your duty." (Applause.) Jlnj-or Gllroy Speaks. Again Chairman Hill managed to restore order in order that assembly districts might be called. The convention showed a disposition not to allow this, but Mayor Oilroy sprang upon a chair und said: "I only desire to say this: that there is no question that it Is the unanimous sentiment of this convention that Senator David Ii. Hill should be the democratic standard-bearer in this campaign. I am satisfied from the fact that Senator Hill has never yet failed in his duty to the democratic party, and if this wish is conveyed to him deliberately and properly he will obey the command of this convention. (Applause.) There can be no question about the result and I move that the roll be c tiled and that each county as it is called or each assembly district cast the vote of its delegates for governor. We should proceed deliberately. There should be no charge hereafter that this convention was stampeded f t any man, and I am perfectly well satisfied if this convention should expr.-s its desire for Governor Hill's candidacy he will accept its command." (Loud cheers.) The roll was called and every county answered for Hill, and the secretaries announced that 'Senator Hill had received all the votes cast. There were cries of "Announce it. announce the result." Secretary De Freest mounted a chair upon the stage and said: "I declare that Senator Hill is the unanimous choice of this convention for the nomination of governor of the state of New York." During thl excitement that attended the clerk's announcement of the nomination of Senator Hill the senator sat inanimate behind the chaii man's table. His usually pale face wis almost ashy, his hand trembled and he did not venture to speak. Sime of the enthusiasts tried to adjourn the convention so as to arrange th? balance of the state ticket, but the plan failed. I.ocknowd and Gaynor Nominated. Lieutenant-Governor Sheohan then arosf and in a brief eulogium nominated the Hon. Daniel N. Lockwood for the office of lieutenant-governor. The nomination was made by acclamation amid great applause.

James B. Bell Brooklyn named Judge Gaynor for Judge of the court of appeals and the convention nominated him by acclamation. Immediately after the nomination of the ticket Senator Davil B. Hill was asked by an Associated Press correspondent what he thought of the situation. "Oh," he replied, with no little anger expressed in his face, "Its an outrage; its an outrage." Mayor J. W. Hinckley received the following today: "I find on my arrival this morning that my name is the subject of sowie- consideration by the delegates to Saratoga and have received many friendly messages. As I cannot well reply to these detail. Will you do me the kindness to say for me, in answer to any inquiries, that for reasons entirely personal, I cannot be a candidate or accept the nomination. I concur heartily in the opinions so admirably expressed by Senator Hill in his address that harmonious and aggressive action on the part of the democrats of the state ought surely to be crowned by success. Principles, not men, must constitute the issue, and New York is not accustomed to waver In her fidelity to democratic principles when a united party demands their enactment and enforcement.

I am now quite fleshy and can work all day." dence and the improvement of industrial conditions which are following the repeal by a democratic congress of the laws of republican predecessors. Unsound linanciil legislation, driving out our gold and threatening a-finite silver standard, a worse than war ravifC, unnecessarily adding to the cost of living, diminishing federal revenues and over-stimulating favored Industries at the general expense; profligate expenditures, converting an assuring treasury surplus into an alarming deficit: these were the ill-conceived and ill-fated products of republican partisanship which brought the country to the verge of financial and industrial ruin, which wiped out private fortunes, reduced incomes, turned tens of thousands of men out of work, c! s?d factories, destroyed business, brought thousands of deserving poor face to face with starvation, and inflicted general distress upon the American people. The complete transfer of the government to the democratic part was too late to avert these terrible evils; it could only remove their uses and repair the injury. We, therefore, rejoice that by the repeal of the Sherman law for the purchaje and storage of silver bullion all fear of depreciated currency has been allayed and faith has been rtarred In the ability of the government to maintain a constant parity between the gold and silver coinage; that by the repeal of the McKinley taiiff law the inordinate taxation of the many for the benefit of the few has been notaby diminished and the plane of Inequitable and monstrous customs duties, which have starved some industries and overfed others, the tariff schedules have been adjusted so that, whil? affording ampij safeguards for American labor, tlrv reduce the price to the people of necessities of life and encouragethe promotion of industry by cheapening the cost of many raw materials u.ed in manufactures; and that by reducing exIwn liturt s wherever possible and by provision for additional revenues the legitimate dcman-ls upm the federal treasury will no longer exceed the government's income and necessitate an increase in the public debt. Toe beneficial effects of the adoption of thes salutary measures of public policy are already plainly apparent. Each day gives evidence of returning prosperity. Mills closed by the effects of republican legislation r.re reopening and their operatives are returning to work. Merchants report a largely increasing volume of business, and manufacturer: are preparing for the iveriod of pro-p.rity which the readjustment of tariff and cheaper raw materlas certainly assure. We concur with President Clevolind that the new tariff law docs not embody the full issue of tariff reform, but with him also we indorse its provisions for cheaper and free raw materials and lower taxes as a substantial recognition of democratic principles, anil we bespeak for the law an Impartial trial, confident that its succor-fill operation will convince the people of the wisd -ir cf democratic policy and induce them to demand its proper extension. Whil- favoring, therefore, such wise modification and readjustment of particular schedules, by enactment of separate bills, as future conditions and the fulfillment of democratic pledges may require, we deprecate, landing a fair trial of the law. by actual operation, any further general tariff revision which, under present conditions, would be likely to retard improvement in business, and thereby prolong the e-v-ls brought upon the country by republican folly. We commend the enactment by the democratic congress of their measures of public importance demanded by th people, particularly the repeal of the federal elections law, and the stringent legislation for the suppression of trusts. We reaffirm the declaration of principles contained in tne democratic national platform of 1S92, and we reiterate the expressions of recent democratic state platforms in favor of honest money, economy in public expenses, just and liberal provision for all disable. 1 union soldiers, their widows and dependents, and strict adherence to the true principles of civil service reform. AVe commend th? efforts made by the senators and representatives In congress from this state to avert the imposition of the present income tax, and we record our regret that tariff reform, to which all democrats were committed, was embarrassed by engrafting on the tariff bill a direct tax. to which many democrats were strenuously opposed. Religiou.s intolerance in political discussion is denounced and any attempt to proscribe candidates for office on the ground of religious belief by secret organizations or otherwise is deplored. The platform demands the rigid enforcement of the laws to prevent and control trusts. It heartily indorses "the honest purpose and high Ideas which have characterized the administration oi President Cleveland." and pledges their earnest support in all his efforts to secure th? enactment of democratic: measures and the carrying out of democratic policies, expressing confidence that the people will sustain him at the polls in November. The remainder of the platform is devoted to state issues, closing with an indorsement of Governor Flower's administration. SOMK INTERVIEWS. A Friend of the Administration Will Not Support Hill Oilier Views. WASHINGTON. Sept. 2G.-It is safe to say that the New York nominations came as a great surprls? to the members of the cabinet now in Washington. Fewcared to comment upon them for publication, but privately they appeared to regard the ticket as a powerful combination. Secretary Herbert, when informed of the convention's choice by th? Associated Pross, threw himself back in hi3 chair, and after silently thinking over tho news, said slowly, but emphatically: "It is a strong ticket and seem.3 ad -j rated to sink the sc-vilonal differences that have vexed the democratic party in New York. I think it will win." Assistant Secretary of the Navy McAdoo of New Jersey, an ex-member of congress, said: "With united action in New York that ticket ought to be elected. The ticket is well balanced, geographically and otherwise." Franklin D. Locke, on of the most prominent lawyers and democrats of Buffalo, a grat friend of President Cleveland and one of the foremost men at the Syracuse convention: "In what I say, let It be understood that I speak only for myself. I will neither work nor vote for Senator Hill for governor. My indictment against him has two counts. "1. I maintain that from March 4, 1803, he has done everything he could to harass, annoy and obstruct the democratic administration here. "2. I regard him as primarily responsible for the offense In the state of New York for which Judge Maynard was tried and convicted last year. The only real defens? Judge Maynard had was that he was a good-natured fellow and was- compelled to do what he did by the overpowering influence of David Bennett

Hill. I will vote for no man connected with that crime. I do not see how Judge Gaynor can accept after the treatment of the contested delegation from Kings county. Mr. Lockwood's nomination for lieutenant-governor. I regard as an admirable one. I shall only regret 4t if he is associated on the ticket with Senator Hill." Representative Tarsney (democrat of Missouri) "Mr. Hill's nominition is an exceptionally strong one. Mr. Hill is a man of rare political sagacity. He would not take a nomination if he were to be sacrificed. His willingness to accept the leadership of the New York democracy this year Is, in my opinion, the most convincing proof yet advanced that the democrats will carry the state. His election will make him a big factor in the next presidential fight." Senator Stewart (populist of Nevada) "If Senator Hill stands on and indorses the financial plank of the platform the banks must elect him. Of course, the question of Mr. Cleveland's attitude toward Mr. Hill will be an all-important one. Mr. Cleveland has been suffering from malaria this summer. I believe. The only specific for malaria, the disciples of physic tell us, is bitters. If Mr. Cleveland swallows the New York nomination the pill ought to be bitter enough to cure the most chronic case of malaria extant." MriaaKe from the President. NSW YORK, Sept. 27. The World this morning publishes the following, dated at Buzzard's Bay: "No dougt the convention has done the best thing possible. I think those who were there ought to understand the situation and know what was suitable to do. I have confidence that their best judgment was exercised. "G ROVER CLEVELAND."

"WIIETTIN THE K.MFC. Mar He an Independent Ticket In New York. NEW YORK, Sept. 29. The Brooklyn Eagle in its issue today says': "There will be an independent democratia state ticket in the field. It Is not only probable, but it is virtually certain) that it will be headed by the names of Charles S. Fairchild. Nominations for lieutenant-governor and judge of the court of appeals will also be made. The men, other than Mr. Fairchild, who will go upon this state ticket will be chosen, as Mr. Fairchild already has been, by the accordant voices of the leaders and the followers of the independent democracy of the state of New York. "The financial resources requisite for a state campaign of the most active character will not be wanting, for such a campaign will be limited to the wholesome, direct, simple, single and n.it necessarily expensive work of informing and aligning the already aroused, earnest and implacable, democratic hosts? of independence and reform in every county in the state. Since the adjournment of the machine congress at Saratoga the new movement may be said to have organized itself. "Reform democrats from all parts of the state were in conference during the most of yesterday and have been in conference today in New York with Charles S. Fairchild, Edward M. Shepard, Oswald Ottendorfer, Carl S.hurz and other representative reform democrats, among whom have been those responsibly connected with leading metropolitan newspapers upon the situation of affairs as they are. "Ex-Mayor Grace arrived from Europe last night and took part in the conference then going on, as he has also taken part in those going on today. "The leaders were at first hesitant about the extent to which opposition to the Hill-Murphy machine might or should go. In less than a day they found that if tlvy did not lad their followers their followers would run over th?m, and they did not propose to be run over. "Advices from everyone of the election district organizations of the state democracy In New York and of the independent democracy in Kings county, as well as from the organizations known a.s the Cleveland democracy "in Troy, Rochester, Buffalo, Oswego and Oiher cities, were unanimously to the effect that the plain people h-ave put their war paint on and are determined to occupy no position of merely passive objection in the politics of this year. "There will not be a complete state ticket, with a complete state committee of representatives of each congressional district, but there will be independent democratic nominations for local offices in all these cities as well as like nominations for the assembly in the various counties. "It is too late, under the law, to hold a state convention In a formal sense. Tim? enough exists, however, for the assemblage of a conference and for what is called a ticket by petition or application. "The conference of independent and reform democrats will meet toward the last of next week or the first of the week following, probably in Syracuse or New York," SPLIT IN NEimASKA. Democratic State Convention Winds l'p in 21 Itovr. OMAHA, Sept. 25. The Bryin silver faction had charge of the machinery of the democratic state convention today. The credentials committee reported all the contests in favor of the Bryan forces, leaving the administration anti-silver element as a small minority in the conventionscarcely 100 delegates. W. D. Oldham of Kearney was made permanent chairmin and announced the convention ready for nominations. Dr. Edwards of Lancaster, amid a great Uem.mst ration, placed Congressman Bryan in nomination for United States sen tor. He was chosen by acclamation and replied in a speech pledging himself to work for free silver and against monopolies. After wrangling until midnight over the question of fusion the matter was postponed pending the report of the committee on platform. The minority report was similir to the majority with the exception of the clause relating to finances, which declared for a gold basis. It was wholly ignored by the victorious silverites, however, and the majority report carried with a rush. The income tax is indorsed, election of senators by the people advocated and an amendment to the constitution making a president ineligible to re-election. The report at length reviews the A. P. A. question and denounces that movement in severe terms and concludes with a clause in favor of the free coinage of gold and silver at 16 to 1. After th? adoption of the platform the leaders of the fusion and anti-fusion factions announced an agreement, and Judge Holcombp, the populist caniidite for governor, was indorsed at midnight by a large majority. The following ticket was nominated, 101 anti-fusionists oedtlng during the process: Oovemor Jud:?e J lolcomh. Lieutenant-Governor J. N. Giffon. Secretary of State F. It. Ellkk Treasurer i. A. Linkhart. Atorney-General S. 15. Carey. Auditor S. I. Dahhmn. Commissioner of Public Lands J. S. , Kent. Superintciüdent o! Public Instructions W. A. Jones. Holcombe. Giffon, Carey. Kent and Jones are populist nominees. The regular convention then adjourned. The bolters then at once reorganized into a separate convention and began the work of selecting a straight democratic ticket. The following state ticket was nominated by the bolters, including the delegates of six counties: For Governor P. D. Sturdevant. Lieutenant-Governor B. E. Dunphy. Secretary of State D. T. Rolf. Auditor Otto lUumin. Treasurer Luke Dridcnthal. Atorney-General John II. Ames. Commissioner Public Land3 and Buildings; Jacob Pi gier. Superintendent Public Instruction Milton Doolittle. The bolters' convention adjourned after adopting a platform similar to the others excepting that it favors a gold ba?is. 'LINCOLN, Neb., Sept. 29. C. J. Smyth, chairman of the democratic state

DOCTORS

DISAGREE

WHAT BECOMES OF THE PATIENT? Doctors have their hobbies as well as other people and in the treatment of disease often carry them too far for the patient's good. For instance in the treatment of indigestion or dyspepsia "many doctors give bismuth and nothing else, others rely on pepsin to bring their patients through, still another doctor treats stomach troubles with the various vegetable essences and fruit salts. Now, one or the other of these excellent remedies becomes a h."bby with the doctor who has had most success with the particular one in question, because all cf them are first-class remedies for indigestion and dyspepsia, but not one of them alone i3 so good as a combination cf all of them, such as is found in Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets which contain not only vegetable essences and fruit ealtr, but also the freshest, purest pep.dn and bismuth, making altogether a remedy un-surpass4-d for every form of indigestion, sour stomach, nervous dyspepsia, belching of gas, distress after eating, sleeplessness, headaches, etc. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is not a secret patent nostrum, but you can see for yourself what it is and knowing this, its success as a dyspepsia, cure ia not surprising. All druggists recommend and sell them at 50 cents, or if your druggist does not happen to have them, ssond by mail to the Stuart Co., Marshall, M'ch. ' central committee, today filed with the secretary of state a protest against the acceptance of the bolters' certificate, purporting to contain the names of the democratic nominations for state officers. At the same time the certificate of the nomination of the candidates selected by the regular convention was filed by Chairman Smyth. The protest was accompanied by affidavits and other proofs of the fact that the bolters' meeting was not the democratic convention and that the ticket filed by Euclid Martin is not entitled to recognition as the democratic ticket. Secretary Allen was not certain as to whether he should notify the Martin men and hear testimony. This point was left open till he coukl confer with the attorney-general. It is probable the decision of the secretary on the protest will be made by Wednesday next. The Hon. W. J. Bryan called at the office of the secretary of state and warned him not to do any act which would give the Martin certificate the rightful place of the one filed today. MIL. SIXGERLY ACCEPTS. The Democratic Candidate for Governor of Pennsylvania. PHILADELPHIA. Sept. 29. William M. Singerly, democratic candidate for governor, and the other candidates on the state ticket were formally notified of their nomination today. Candidate Singerly's letter of acceptance, which speaks for the entire ticket, is short and to the point. In it he says: "We accept the nominations and indorse the platform approved by the convention. Tariff reform, honest money, frugal federal, state and municipal government are aims worth fighting for. When we shall be able to divorce pollties from business so far as to let the people do their own banking, trading, carrying and manufacturing, precisely as we allow them to do their own farming, without meddlesome discrimination for or against any special interest and only restricted by such few general laws as are n?cessary for the public safety and welfare, there will be a return of settled prosperity. The people can take care of themselves. Legislation which promotes capitalistic aggregations, syndicates, trusts and political combinations for the purpose of plunder, promotes counter organizations of the plundered and disorganizes society. A resumption of sim pler Jeffersonian methods in which noth ing shall be undertaken by the government which may be accomplished by individual exertion should be the basis of democratic effort. To this end let us unitedly strive. When the fathers declared the people were capable of selfgovernment, they meant it in the strictest sense." THE CONNECTICUT DEMOCRATS. A State Ticket Nominated vrltb. Ernest Caily at Its Hend. NEW HAVEN, Conn., Sept. 23. The democratic state convention met here today and nominated the following ticket: Governor Ernest Cady. Lieutenant-Governor Morris B. Beardsley. Secretary of State Edward G. Kilduff. Controller Nicholas Staub. The platform expresses confidence in and pledges support to President Cleveland; congratulates the people on th? recent revision of th? tariff, and appliuds Iresident Cleveland upon his skillful efforts to restore the currency of the country to a better condition than it has enjoyed for thirty years; demands a constitutional convention; raps the A. P. A. movement in strong language, declaring it to be a vicious thing, dangerous to civil liberty and in violation of the declaration of the rights guaranteed by the constitution. The acceptance of free railroad passes by pubMc officials is condemned. SPRINGER STARTS A ROOM. Predicts That Stevenson Will Be Democracy's Next Nominee. CINCINNATI. S?pt. 29. Congressman and Mrs. William M. Springer of Illinois are here visiting their son, who is chaplain at Ft. Thomas. Mr. Springer said: "I can't sty a word about David B. Hill, for I d nDt knnv a thing about New York politics. Rut I believe this. I believe thit the n?xt presidential nominee for the d-nucracy must be a western man and I think h will be Adlal E. Stevenson, our vice-president. Morrison and Black are both strong men and pr obibilities, but I am of th? opinion that it will be Stevenson. I hardly look for Morton of New York to be th? next republican nominee. If the issu? is mide on the tariff, then it will be McKinley. But I am of the opinion that the tariff will not be th? issue." INDIANA LEGION. The Ofilcers Organize a Society Its Objects. Th officers of the Indiana leglm have orginizxl a society for th? purpos? of social intercourse and also for the advancement of military interests of the state. The organization proposes, if possible, to secure a revision of the Indiana militiry laws and also to secure an added appropriation for th3 benefit of th? service. The following are the officers of ths new organization : President Adjt.-Gen. Irvin Robbins. Vice-Presidents Lieut. Mason J. Niblack, First regiment; Lieut.-Col. H. K. Smith, Second regim?nt; Lieut. E. G. Midendy, Third r?gimnt; Maj. G. E. Downey, Fourth regiment; Capt. J. B. Curtis, First artill?ry. Treasurer Gen. W. J. McKee. Secretary Lieut. N. W. Gilbert. The new association will endeavor to secure the appointment of thr?e additional companies of militia, which will make four complete regiments. There will be no trouble to secure tha companies, as ther? are at pr?sont applications from twenty or thirty cities. The present appropriation of Indiana for the militia is $37,0(,'0, while in Ohio an appropriation of $135,000 is midt? annually and in Illinois $137,000.

CHAIRMAN WILSON DINED.

ENTERTAINED BY THE LOXDOX CHAMBER OF COMMERCE. A Significant Speech by the Congressman. Exposing the Iniquities of Protection A Response by Representative Straus of New York. LONDON, Sept. 27. The dinner given by the chamber of commerce of London to Congressman W. L. Wilson of West Virginia took place at the Hotel Metropole this evening. About seventy guests were present, including J. Sterling Morton, secretary of agriculture, and his two sons, Paul and Joy Morton; Congressman Isadore Straus of New York, Sir Courteney E. Boyle, permanent secretary of the board of trade, ar.d a number of leading men In trade and commerce. United States Ambassador Bayard and James R. Roosevelt, secretary of the United States embassy, sent regrets. Mr. Wilson said: "All the people saw that our system was generating a brood of monopolists so powerful as to defy the law and which u.-Hd part of the wealth they drew from sharing in the power of taxation to increase their privileges, debauc-h elections and corrupt legislation. "I am quite sure that our protective policy has already served to promote the trade of other nations, and, if continued, would still further promote such trade and pre-eminently your own. So, standing before you. a representative of those who are striving for a freer commercial policy for the United States, I fear I cannot ask you to rejoice at its adoption ex-eept as you may prefer right principles to selfish advantage. Protection has seen our voluntary withdrawal from the seas and front the neutral markets. Our protectionists have been biulding defenses to keep you and other nations from competing with us In our home market. The tariff reformers are breaking down these defenses. "Let us compete in all the markets of the world. Not only is our production of cotton and food products growing more rapidly than our consumption, but we have today a manufacturing plant which. urged to its full capacity, can in six months fully meet our demands for a year. "The tariff hitherto has given many temptations to form trusts, limit the output and lessen wages. Rut, fortunately, the way now seems open to give the working people more control over their wages and to break up the monopolies which are corrupting our politics. Without boasting, I may say that it is not in our lineage or character anywhere to long be underlings. This Is the real meaning of the great reform movement in America. It is in no selfish, exultant temper that I thus give you neighborly warning of our plans and expectation'." After referring to the growth of American trade returns, "even under protection," Mr. Wilson predicted that "now, when released from such vidous laws, there will be a new era and a revival of the American merchant marine, a.s well as a steady increase in our exports, both of food products and manufactured articles. The nations of the world are drawing into nearer and more neighborly intercourse and the manufacturing supremacy of the world must eventually pass to that nation which, having the largest supply, shall apply it to the highest intelligence and enterprise. "We are constantly confirmed in the belief," continued Mr. Wilson, "that our supply of materials is more exhaustless and m re cheaply handled than that of any other people, and if we continue to be underlings it is our own fault. We are "being rapidly sobered, though unarr palled, by the truth, forced upon us, that of all human governments a free government is th? most complex and difficult and, judging from the world's experience, the most uncertain and shortlived. Our institutions are strong because they are deeply rooted in the past. It is for you and for us to show that while other nations have been great in war, commerce, science, etc., we can be great in all and great ln the greatness of permanent freedom." Replying to the toast to the chamber of commerce of the United States, Congressman Isadore Straus of New York deplored the fact that the tariff was ever made a party question in the United States, and he urged the formation as promptly as possible of an international agreement to settle 'the silver question. Secretary Morton was the next speaker. He said that Mr. Wilson had stated what was absolutely correct, and that the people of America had finally said adieu to the protective system. Free trade had been used as a bogey with Americans, but at last the farmers recognized that free trade did not compel trade anywhere, but simply permitted an American citizen to trade wherever it was most advantageous. He spoke strongly in favor of arbitration and said that Great Britain and the United States must soon arrange an arbitration treaty so that brute force would cease to be a factor, standing armies would pass away as dew. and war would become Impossible. God speed the hour when such a treatj; should be ratified. Mr. Mortin' then said that "we as Americans feel at home here," and the remark ,was loudly applauded. TEXTILE WORKERS WIN. Officials of the Tierce Mill nt Nevr Dedford Make a Snrrender. NEW BEDFORD. Mass.. Sept. 27 The great textile strike in this city was broken this afternoon when, at a meeting of the Weavers union, the employes of the Pierce mill were instructed to go back to work. The officials of this corporation have decided not only to pay the old scale of wages, but to furni.-h. specifications of work as demanded by the strikers, making the victory for the latter complete. This initiative taken by the Pierce mill is due to the fact that within the past few days this corporation has received a big order for fine goods whi-h it could not afford to ov.rl-ok. N concessions have yet been made to the spnner3 or loom-fixers, but such a course is daily expected, and the early resumption of work by all other cloth mills Is looked for.
