occurred since the Chicago convention,
ntnl also for the primary purpose of ntil
lifyiiiK the gold platform adopted by
the original stute convention (at Allen

the turmoil that prevailed Beiierally
tltirliisT the'iifteinooii. Tile free sllvi r
advocates were largely In Ihe inajnr

convention was in conformity there
with. The new platform endorses Hryan

ciples as the "expression of opinion of

Democracy of I'ennsy Iviinia is
bound by the action of tile
('liieitv.il convention, ami uflirms a
belief that llryait and Sewall will be
elected. An important outcome of the
convention was an unreeiiient to Join
forces Willi the Peoples parly. The
fusion MuKinmine was nrrhed at af
ter several conferences hud been held
iluriiiK the day between a suli-coinniit-tee
of the sliete Deinornit ic committee
and the Peoples party executive com
lnillce of this state. The Populists pro
position, which the convention accepted,
was that If the Democrats aKt'ot-d to
place upon their electoral ticket the
names of lotir Populists, they ttlie Pop

names of 2S silver Democrats, the
thirty-two eleotoral Votes tin case of

AN KFFOUT TO OI'ST HA IcHITV.
An incident of Ihe convention was the
defeat of a resolution callintr upon Na
tional Chairman Jones to oust William
F. Harrlly. of Philadelphia, as the na
tional committeeman from Pennsylva
nia and appoint a successor "who will
lie In hearty sympathy with the Chl
cuo ticket and platform." The con
vention was culled to order in the opera
house at 12.3S o'clock by State Chair
man Hannan. The lower portion of the
auditorium was well filled, and Inter in
the day tl" attendance wus largely in
creased. Secretary Savage, of the state
committee, read the; call for the con
vention nnd also announced the solec
tion by the executive committee of Cap
tain John H. Keenan, of Hreeiisliuri;,
for temporary chairman. Captain Kee
nan was loudly applauded when he was
introduced by Chairman Carman.
The temporary chairman made n rinc
InK speech, which was frequently In
terrupted by applause.
CAPTAIN KKKNAN'S SPEKCH.
Captain Keenan began his address by
thanking the convention for the honor
it had conferred upon him. He thought,
perhaps, he owed an apology to the
convention because at the national con
vention he had disobeyed the instruc
tions of the Allentown convention by
voting In favor of a free and unlimited
coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1.
He believed however, that the conven
tion had forgiven him without the for
mality of an apology. The Chicago plat
form was. reviewed, and then referring
to the action of the gold Democrats in
Pennsylvania Informing the' Jefferson
Ian party. Captain Keenan said:
' "It is a doubtful question whether
that party Is the namesake of our
great leader Thomas Jefferson or the
namesake of Jefferson Davis. From
their action in striving for Republican
success, I am constrained to believe they

The Veterans Are OppoKCil lo Silver.
Tlicy Will Agniu Prove Their
Patriotism by Votiug Asninst the

Vicious riiii'ngo'Plntfuriii.
New Yoik, Sep!. 10. Senator Quuy is
pushing the campaign with his accus
tomed vigor, but is not making any
noise over it. Today he looked content
ed at Republican national headquar
ters because he was highly pleased with
the letter of acceptance of Vice-Presidential
Candidate tiarret A. llobart.
Other Kcpuhllcuiis who called on the
senutor declared It was u strong and
able letter, Mr. llobart, who came in
before noon, was' also congratulated by
Mr. Quuy and other members of the
national committee. One Republican
said: "Mr. Hobart's letter Is a vote
making document. It should carry
New Jersey by lo,0(i or L'O.OdO votes. I
believe It will."
The reports received from Maine In
dicate that Mr. Mauley's predicted ,-
000 majority for the Republicans Is too
conservative. Although the Democrats
ure maninif great efforts In the Pine
Tree state, they seem to be losing
ground every day the issue is discussed.
Delos K. Culver, the promoter of the
New York and New Jersey bridge
across the Hudson river, und at pres
ent the civil engineer In charge of draw
ing plans for construction of Ihe same,
called on Mr. llobart today. Speaking
about the present political situation, he
said: "I am u lite-long Democrat, and
1 am a close and Intimate friend of
David H. Hill, but I cannot vote the
Democratic ticket this year. I shall
vote for Major McKinley, and shall ad
vise all my friends lo do the same. I
believe, further, that there are IMO.noo
Democrnts in the state of New York
who, like me, will vote the Republican
ticket this year. I want to see the dol
lar of the poor man Just ns good as the
dollar of the rich man. If we get free
silver that will not be the case, for the
reason that the one w ho has the dollar
will prolit, where he w ho receives them
will lose, I have never voted uny other
ticket but the Democratic, bill this time
1 shall sink partisan feelings. T believe
Mr. McKinley will win by a large ma
jority." Cashier 1'. It. Dobbins, of the Dollar
Savings bank, of Wheeling. Vtt., sends
to Fxeciilive Committeeman Scott me
results of a house-to-house canvass
made In three precinct s. of Pendleton
county, in that state, which are grati
fying. The Kepubllcau loss was found
lo be S2 in 1.000, while the Democratic
loss was 1U7 in l.oou. The county In
which tills poll was taken (Pendleton!
is an UKi'iculturul county and in a
mountainous district. The farmers
there ure interested in tlie sheep In
dustry, which lias been greatly Injured
!; the Wilson tariff changes. To this
Mr. Dobbins uttrlLutes chiefly the
change in Democratic sentiment.
DANCFH OK OV UK-CONFIDENCE.
Frank Hiseock. former I'nlled States
senator, speaking of the situation to
day, said: "Over-confidence is our
only danger. If the strong business
men of the coiiiury are not deceived by
i he promising on i look and do not relax
their efforts in supporting the wot k of
the organization this election will be
very easily won. The nominations al
Indianapolis nnd the result of the elec
tion In Veriiiont have a tendency to
create a feeling of eonlldence among
these men, a belief that danger Is past
and further work Isnot neccssury. That
Is a great mistake. Kuriiest work Is
necessary and Is being' done by the
committees to the fullest degree in their
power. Their efforts should be heui'li
ly simplified, not only by those who
usually do so, but by friends of the
c ause who do not ordinarily take much
Interest In politics. The change of
feeling all over the country Is in our
favor. So lar us Irade and general
business are concerned, we are having
very hard times in all sections. The
people who are suffering nre learning
from exiMTieiice, und they are coming
more and more lo realize that there is
no hope or any better times until the
election of McKinley and llobart In
sures a stable Republican administra
tion on tlie lines of well-known Repub
lican principles. This is true, and I ho
people know It. Hence the change In
our favor. While everything looks
favorable, I must repeat that our only
great clanger is from over-confidence
on the part of those who should come
forward to give us vigorous aid."
Colonel L. Kdwln !ildley, secretary
of the National Tnion Veterans' Pa
triotic League, was at headquarters to
day. He had just returned from aitt ip
to the West. "After what I saw and
heard during my trip." he said, "I do
not see how It Is possible to elect Hra"
There Is no chance for him at all, unless
there should come a tremendous change
of public sentiment, and there Is no sign
of anything to bring that about. I went
to St. Paul with flen. Sickles, president
of our league, to attend the nationul en
campment of the Grand Army, of
course, no politics is intended at such
meetings, but we went to a hotel sep
arate from headquarters, employed a
force of hands to fold our documents,
and announced 4hat hey were for free
distribution to all who cared for them.
The demand wag amazing, and 250,000
copies soon disappeared.
"Our meetings are non-part lean meet
ings of veterans and sons of veterans.
They appeal to patriotism and the love
of law and order on he ground that
sectlonallFm is revived, law attacked,
courts detled and national integrity
threatened by the Chicago platform.
We have nearly l.OOO.Ooo veterans In the
country, and 1 have never known them
fo united as they are now on this ques
tion, even In .those states claimed to
be most affected by the silver erase.
Many Democratic veterans come for
ward and take their places In the ranks
alongi with Fickles, Franklin, Siegel
and others. The old soldiers will be
practically unanimous against . Bryan
and the pernicious doctrines be represents."
Words of a
Andrew Jackson, in his first message, as Presi
dent, said : " A depreciation of the currency is al
ways attended by a loss to the laboring classes. This
Portion of the community have neither time nor op
portunity to watch the ebbs and flows of the money
market. Engaged from day to day in their useful
toils, they do not perceive that, although their wages
are nominally the same, or even somewhat higher,
they are greatly reduced, in fact, by tlie rapid in
crease of currency, which, as it appears to make
money abound, they are at first inclined to consider
a blessing."
GLADSTONE'S OPINIONS.
He Emphatically Condemns the Sultan
of Turkey and the Euro
pean Powers.
London, Sept. 10. A few days ago
Mr. Gladstone was requested to address
a mass meeting to be hold at Liverpool
for the purpose of condemning the sul
tan of Turkey for permitting the mas
sacres of Armenians. In reply to the
request Mr. (Jladstone hus written a
letter in which he says:
"My opinions of the great assassin
and of the disgrace the Kuropean pow
ers huve allowed him to bring upon
them nre well known to my country
men, but I do not think thut benefit
would accrue from my taking part in
meetings, however valuable und even
obligatory such meetings may be for
those still enguged In the duties ut pub
