Indianapolis, Kept. 3. The delegates
.Were tardy In getting to the hull tills
miming. At 11 o'clock, the hour to
which the convention had adjourned,
there were not lifty delegates present,
but the galleries were being fust tilled
up. When Senator l'aliner, of Illinois,
entered i lie hall and took his seat on the
platform he was complimented with u
round of applause. Soon after II o'clock
tile delegates, with the exception of
those on the commit tc n resolutions,
In gun to crowd in coming iu solid dele
gations, aiel I lie space assigned to them
was ill a short lime fully occupied. Tile
arrival of each state delegation was In
dicated by the musicians. who played
the airs most appropriate " the loea
II. in "Yankee lloodle" for u New Kng
land state. "Maryland. My Maryland."
for the delegation from that state, "old
Kentucky Home," "llxie." etc. As
usual popular acclaim wus in favor of
"hixle" mill "Maryland." About this
time Mr. Hacklier, of Kentucky, en
tered and was greeted witli cheers, then
Mr. ISrccki-nriilge, of Kentucky, came In
with his delegation and there were loud
cheers for llreckintldge. The cliuir an
nounced that the opening of the conven
tion would be delayed for a short lime
in order to allow the committee on reso
lutions to complete its work. Further
cries lor Hrcckiniidgo brought that
gentleman to the stand.
He delivered a speech of great power
and eloquence, which was listened to
with profound silence and attention, ex
cept when broke In upon by hursts of
applause.
SII.VKU OltATtHt'S Sl'RKCH.
Discussing the Chicago platform, he
said
1 denounce it because its result is uni
versal dishonesty ami discord. It Is de
structive In every part of It. We have
laws lo he applied. It condemns the
Ulcers of t lie law because they applied
It. We have a Judiciary, and because it
is independent, even If it be wrong mid
I for one. immodest as it may seem, put
my poor name us a lawyer against one
of its latest decisions fin one great ques
tionbecause they disagreed with that
decision they determine that that, great
tribunal shall be subservient to party
caucus, mid be corrupted to be the tool
of party wishes. (Cheers.) Mr. lireck
inridgi' went on to speuk of the feeling
of reverencctwitli which the Judiciary
was regarded In the south, which could
hurdly be sutlliienlly appreciated by
northern states, who had never known
what it was lo live subject to the will
of one silent coiuuiander. We of Hie
south, he said, put our trust uml hope
In uu upright Judiciary. With you it is
n sent inienl. With us it Is u living
prineinle, burnt into our hearts by the
disasters of the past, and standing In
Hie midst of u renewed Democracy in
Hie name of the entire south plead
that the last refuge of an oppressed
minority, an imright judiciary, be left
untouched by the polluting hand of par
tisan corruption. Il.'uul cheers.)
It Is destructive in Its (insanity upon
our monetary system. It Is not that it
Is for free silver. If free silver would
make silver go up to a par with gold
the leaders of that movement would be
Hie most disuplHiinted lot of men pos
sible. (Cheers and laughter.) X do not
question any single man's honesty of
purpose, bin the power behind free sil
ver Is the power for more money am!
cheaper money Irredeemable money.
(Cheers.) it we could be assured abso
lutely that on tomorrow the silver ques
tion would be considered settled, and
there would be no dispute over pay
ments; that the American people would
enter upon no devious or doubtful ways,
your industrial enterprises would be re
newed nml all unite in choral tributes
to that power which had restored to the
American Jieople Hie reviving Intlllenee
of common honesty. Kluboratltig this
Idea by drawing a glowing picture of
restored prosperity, Mr. lireckinridge
continued
WHAT VF. AUK IIKHK FOlt.
This Is what we Hie here for today.
It Is sometimes said we are here to elect
McKinley. our tree silver friends took
that Job out of our limnls. ((ireat laugh
ter and cheers.) We elected a Demo
cratic president on the two great Demo
em tic economical principles ot free
trade and sound nmney In 1S9:.'. Our
free silver friends at once nttenipteil to
destroy the Democrutlc party. 1 saw
it stated the other day that they had
the scalps of their enemies hanging at
their belts. They ure mlstuken. They
huve the scalps of their friends. ( Re
newed laughter and cheers.) They dis
regarded the admonitions of Cleveland
and a Republican governor reigns in
New York where we used to huve a
Democratic governor. They would not
believe iii sound money and Maryland
sends a Republican senator to sit with
Arthur P. (lorman and a Republican
governor sits iu the capital at Annapo
lis. They rejected the counsels of the
most lively of American statesmen, Wil
liam I,. Wilson, of West Virginia, and
Mr. Klklns sits In the t'nited States
senate. They divided the Democratic
party In Ohio and now Foraker takes
the place of that long line of Democratic
statesmen ending with Thurnian and
IVndleton. They disregarded the teach
ings of Carlisle (cheers) and we huve a
Republican governor In the state of
Kentucky.
They pardoned the anarchists In., the
great state of Illinois and every Demo
cratic congressman walked the plunk
at the next election. There has not
lieen the glinst of a chance to elect a
Democratic president since 18D4, bei-ause
of free sliver. Therefore, when they
charge us with trying to elect McKin
ley, I charge back that they have done
that job for us much more skillfully.
(Ureat applause and laughter.) What
we do In the end Is to prevent the elec
tion of the Chicago ticket under the pre
tence that It Is a Democratic ticket. I
voted for Horace Oreely, I am not
ashamed of It It was not a very de
lightful dose at tht time( laughter), but
the memory of it has become more pal
atable i.i live and twenty years, but I
did not vote for htm as a Democrat
standing on a Democratic platform, and
I shall not vote for a l'opullst candidate
on a Populistlc. platform. (Cheers.) I
have nothing to say about the young
gentleman who Is now enlightening the
people on the policy that ought to con
trol the settlement of th financial ques
tion, but I have read his speeches with
great care. Has unybody gathered any
thing from them but the sad lesson that
life comes unequul with men; that to
some come prosperous days anil to some
adversity, that to some pomes plenty
and to some comes want, and that us a
corollary those with whom life has
gone hard ought to unite to destroy
those with whom life bus been prosper
ous. Is I lure unythtng else in Ills
speeches? Stripped of their verbiage,
hut this, here is a great country; here Is
the Hudson with the handsome resi
dences of rich men: here are the syndi
cates controlling great stuns of money,
und here ale you.
Labor Is not given lis just share of the
profits. There is the ballot-box. there
is Hie booty, there is the weapon, you
the soldier. What is the lesson? He
frugal, be linv-olieilienl, be patient, be
statesmanlike and study the question,
is Unit it? No, the" bal'ot-box to equal
ize that which life has made unequal.
I protest that that is not Democracy.
d.oiid ch ing.) The government shall
not support till' people. The people
must support the government. (Ap
plause.) ,
The ballot box is lint a weupon of
hostility. Is not a menace. It takes the
plucf of the bayonet. It takes the place
of force, no strikes, no bombs, no anar
chists, no oiganiniitioiis to commit vio
lence. The ballot is not to make dis
cord, but to bring about harmony, not
lo produce dissensions, but to produce
thai equalization of law linder which'
ull men stand equal.
liYNl'.M AND KCKI.K.S APl'KAIt.
Hon. W. D. liynuin, of Injjiana. was
next Invited to take the slund. tie did
so und made a short speech in which he
said that the convention should not
only make a platform on the true prin
cinies of the Democratic party, but
should place upon it Democrats who
would stand for those principles und
labor for them unceasingly Ull election
lay. (Cheers.) Mr. Kckles, of Illinois,
comptroller of the currency, was then
invited to the stand and udilresseil the
convention.
"No one," he said, "who looked over
the assemblage would dure to assert
that the Democratic party did not still
live, the champion of the people's
rights and the quick avenger of the
people's wrongs. (Cheers.) They were
met here for conscience sake. They
were not struggling for-, the spoils of
illlee. nor were they moved hy the
pride of public place. (Cheers.) They
were here lo prevent the national honor
and the gie.it patty of their love und
utleeiion rrom being u byword through
out the land." (Applause.)
The convention having in the mean
lime been called t der. the report of
the committee on resolutions was called
for und Senator Vilas, its chairman,
took the stand mid read In his clear,
resonant voice, with much emphasis,
the following document, being accom
panied by applause at every telling
point.
TI1K 1'I.ATFORM.
The following is the full text of the
platform recommended by the commit
tee on resolutions:
This convention has a-sscmbleil to
uphold the principles upon which '!
peiid I lie honor and welfare of the
American people, in order that Demo
crats ihroiigli the Union may unite
their patriotic efforts to uveit disaster
from their country und ruin from their
'"I'he' Democratic party is pledged to
equal and exact Justice to all men of
every creed and condition, to the larg
est freedom of the individual consist
ent with good government, to the pres
ervation of the federal government in
its constitutional vigor und to the sup
port of the states in all their just lights,
to economy In public expenditures, to
the maintenance of the public faith and
sound money, and It Is opposed to pa
ternalism and all slass legllslation.
The declarations of the Chicago con
vention uttaek individual freedom,
the right of private contract, the In
dependence of the Judiciary, und the
authorityof the president to enforce
federal laws. They inlvocute u reckless
attempt to Increase the price ot silver
by legislation to the debasement of our
monetary standard and threaten un
limited issues nf paper money by the
government. They abandon for Repub
lican ullies the Democratic cause of
tariff reform to court the favor of pro
tectionists to their1 fiscal heresy.
In view of these and other departures
from Democratic principles, we cannot
support the cnniliilutes of that conven
tion, nor lie bound by Its acts. The
Democratic parly has survived many
lleleals, but could Hot survive a Victory
won In behalf of the doctrine mid ihiI
Icy proclaimed in Us name tit Chicago.
'liii- conditions, however, which make
pui-i.-i'le sueli utterances from the na
tion::! convention are the direct result
of class legislation by tin- itepitbliean
party. It Mill proclaims us It has for
years, the power and duly of govern
ment to raise and maintain prices by
law, and it proposes! no remedy for ex
isting evils except oppressive and un
just legislation. The national Democ
racy here convened therefore renews
Us declaration of faith in Democratic
principles, especially as applicable to
the conditions of tin- times. Taxation,
tariff, excise or direct, is rightfully im
posed only for public purismes, and not
for private gain. Its amount Is justly
measured by public expenditures, which
should be limited by scruplous economy.
The sum derived by thutreastiry from
tariff and excise levies is affected by
the state of trade und volume of con
sumption. The amount required by the
treasury is determined by the n?ipro
piiations made by congress. The de
mand nf the Republican purty for an In
crease In tariff taxation has Its pretext
in the deficiency of revenue, which has
its cause iu the stagnation of trade
and reduced consumption, due entirely
to the loas nf confidence that has fol
lowed the Populist threat of free coln
uge and depreciation of our money and
the Rentibllcun practice of extrava
gant appropriations beyond the needs
of good gevermnent. We arraign and
condemn the Populistlc conventions of
Chicago and St. Ixiuis for their co
operutlon with the Republican jiui ty In
cresting these conditions which are
pleaded In Justification of a heavy in
crease of the burdens of the people by
a further resort to protection.
AGAINST FRKK SILVER AND PRO
TECTION. '
We therefore denounce protection
and its ally, free coinage of silver, as
schemes for the personal prollt of a few
at the expense of the masses, and op
pose the two parties which stand for
these schemes as hostile to the people of

JAPAN'S GREAT PERIL
Destruction Feared by an F.arlliquuLc
in Northeast Province.
Yokohama, Sept. X Much alarm Is
felt here over a meaner renort nf n irrout
eurthquuke which occurred in the north
east provinces ot the main Island of
Japan on Monday evening. The town
of Robrugo has been entirely destroyed
and several other towns severely dam
aged. Many persons are reported to
have Ih'CIi killed bv the pflrthminLu nn.t
a still larger number Injured, while a"
multitude have auffered Severe losses by
damage to property.
The provinces visited by the earth
quake are the same aa those devastated
by the terrible earthquake and tidal
wave of June 15 last, when a large num
ber of towns were wiped out and the
estimated loss of life was 30,000. The
provinces of Rekuzen and Rlkuchu,
along the coast from the island of Kln
kasan northward, were the principal
sufferers .then. The recollection of the
havoc to human life wrought by that
convulsion causes great anxiety as to
what further reports may show of the
results of Monday's earthquuke. On
the same day a typhoon caused exten
sive damage in Southern Japan.

HEROIC m SEWALL.
He Is Willing That Bryan Should Accept
the Populistlc Nomination, Tom
Watson and All.
Chicago, Sept. 3. Several days ago
Chairman Jones of the Democratic Na
tional committee wrote Mr. Arthur Se
wull, staling that many Democrats
throughout the country, and especially
throughout the west, were objecting to
fusion with the Populists on electoral
tickets for the reason that they do not
wish to be disloyal to Scwull. In reply
to (letieral Jones, Mr, Sewall forward

W. J. r.ryun, Lincoln, Neb.
My Hear Itryan: In view of the action
of the St. I.ouls convention today 1 can-
mil refrain from giving you my thoughts
on the situation. My udvh-es are that you
have been iioinlnale.l nn candidate for
president and Mr. Walsnn for vice presi
dent. I also learn, through press dis
patches that you are somewhat umlfiided
win ! her you ought to ucccpl or decline.
Now, I desire to say lo you. with the ut
most frankness and Rood feeling, that
you must not allow any personal consid
eration for me to influence you In your ac
tion. 1 desire that yon will do Just what
you believe Is best for the success of the
hen. I of the ticket. Tile principles we ate
lighting for are so paramount to any per
sonal considerations that the latter should
not have any weight or intlllenee whatever
in your action. 1 cannot for a moment
ullow inyseir to be a factor in any action
on your part thai would III the slightest
degree hazard un electoral vote for you.
With kind regards to Mrs. liryau, an.l i.c
lleve me your sincere friend.
Arthur Sewall.
Chairman Joins, referring to the
above letter said:
"The talk about the retirement of our
candidate for vice president is tisi ab
surd to be seriously considered. Mr.
Sewall's letter written Just after the

Rureau of The Tribune,
Wl Fourteenth street, N. V.,
Washington, Sept. 3.
Vermont has settled the question us to
whether this country Is for honest money
or whether it Is for free silver and a Uol
lur worth 53 rents. The honest old farm
ers of the Hreen .Mountain stute could not
be misled by the oily-tongued Hryun und
his platform of national discredit und re
pudiation, liy their votes on Tuesday
they told the balance of the country that
they were in fuvor of un honest dollar und
against a dishonest one as advocated by
liryau and his I'opocrutlc followers. The
result In Vermont was a great disappoint
ment to thft Democratic niunaseis here.
While they never entertained the Idea of
currvlnir that state thev believed thev
would at least he able to keep the lliaJon-N
ty down to Its normal Republican sine.
The effect will be felt hi every agricul
tural slute In the country, and the result
will be that McKinley will be elected by
an overwhelming majority. Verily, this
is not a Popocratlc year.
Clerk of the House .McDowell, who has
Just returned from his home Iu Pennsyl
vania, says that ttute is gond for at least
H).0iK niujuiitv for McKinley and sound
money. He uy there Is little or no defec
tion among the Republicans, but that the
sound money Democrats are deserting
to-yan and his fn-e sliver fallacy as fast
us rata decei t a sinking ship.
Congressman (leorge W. Smith, of Il
linois, Is In town. H has hud his hair
cut and even his most Intimate friends
hud to look twice to recognise lilm. Mr.
Smith represents a district in thut por
tion of Illinois known as "Kgypt," and
says he has no fear of itryan currying that
stute. On the contrary, says Mr. Smith,
McKinley will get th doctoral vote nf
Illinois by a big majority.
The Hon. Scott Wike, one of the ussist
unt secretaries nf the treasury, has an
nounced his Intention of supporting Hryun
und Sewall. It mutters very little who Mr.
Wike supports. He was repudiated by his
Illinois constituents four years ago when
they declined to renominate him for eon
Hress. He was elected to the Klfty-second
congivss on the tidal wave nf IWMI, but he
was such a miserable failure us a national
legislator t tut i he was left ut home by
his Democratic neighbors. He controls
only one vote his own.
SI LVKRITR SAM SMALL
Rev. Sam Small has ceased pounding the
pulpit, for the present nt least, ai.il Is now
endeavoring to convert his hearers to the
cause of free sliver. He has Just returned
from a trip through Illinois and, like ull
of the Popocratlc spellbinders, he reports
everything going for Hryan und free sil
ver. If he made niir other sort of report
he would lose his Jnb. Sumi always has
his eve nn the main chance.
The Democratic congressional campaign
committee Is helping lo elect free silver
KcpubllcHn can. II. lute to congress where
ever they they are opposed by liemoi-ruts
whose financial views are iu doubt. There
ure forty free silver Republicans in Hie
nieseut house und Senator Faulkner will
be well eontenl to see them re-elected. The
congressional committee here Is bending
ull lis efloi ts to elect u free silver majority
railier than a Democratic one to the next
house. Their claims that they are like
ly to do this do not seem extravagant
when one snips to think for a moment.
Tae thirty-eight Republican members
from the South In the present congress
will Ikely be greatly reduced. The pres
ent Democratic representation from New
York, Pennsylvania, Iowa and Illinois is
smaller than It has ever been since the
war. It' Is very probable that the Dem.
ocraMe representation from these stafcg
will be greatly Increased iu (he next house.
There is danger that the sound money ma
jority In the present house will be meta
morphosed Into u minority in the next.
The weak pull. i in Senator Faulkner's rea
soning Is that he relics on all Democrats
who are elected to vole as a unit In or
ganizing the house, forgetting that party
lines are rapidly being eruillcnted and
new ones drawn. Kor instunce. If the live
Ifmocnitiii member frum New York
should be dwelled to llfteen Iu the next
congress the same proportion of Increase
In Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and Illi
nois, the majority of this increased Dem.
oeratic representation would not vote with
the free silver Democrats,, but with the
sound money Refiublleuns. So, while
Kiiulkner's claims may not be extrava
gant us viewed from his standpoint, still
when viewed from unolher they ure not
likely I.) he realized.
The rcimmlnation of Congressman Kulp
by the Republicans iu the Seventeenth
district was a wise selection. If any Re
publican can carry that usually Demo
cratic district. .Mr. Kulp can. He Is The
first Republican elected to congress from
that district fur many years. He Is a
popular young man and is a favorite
smong the fanners In fact. Is a fanner
himself, and Is proud of being one of the
horny-hande'l. He made a aood ris-ord In
uie last session, nnd if re-elected will be
much more valuable to his district than
a new man could possibly be. Mr. Kulp
should be re-elected. W. R. I!.

Zanzibar, Sept. 3. It Is now consid
ered probable that the leading Arabs
who supiHtrted Sulid Khulid in his at
tempt to usurp the throne of Zanzibar
will be banished and their property
confiscated. '
In addition, it is believed that a por

and devoted to the settlement of the
claims, amounting to f.in.ooo ($150,000),
arising from the looting- of stores and
residences which followed the escape
of the insurgents from the palace after
