are the namesake of the latter. These
gentlemen, (the Jeffersonlan party),
also refused to associate with us po
litically because they say we have criti
cised the Supreme court of the United
States. We have not criticised that
court as severely as the members of the
court have criticised themselves by
their opinions in the Income tax case.
It is no new thinR for the American
people to criticise their judges and their
courts. We all remember how the Whigs,
Abolitionists and Republicans criticised
Chief Justice Taney in the Died Scott
decision. We all remember how the
Democracy of the union and every hon
ored man in the union criticised the
members of the Supreme court who
formed part of the electoral commission.
These Judges are the creatures of the
people. The Income tax law was not
overthrown during the war; and by this
very supreme court it va3 at first pro
nounced constitutional. Afterwnrds by
the vote of one man their action was
reversed and the law pronounced uncon
stitutional. No one knows who this one
man was who changed his mind and
overthrew this law. The Democratic
party believe It was a Just law and the
people believe it was a Just law. The
gentlemen who criticise us for uphold
ing; an Income tax arc accustomed to
hold up to our admiration the laws of
England, Germany and other European
nations. In the legislation of every one
of these nations they will discover
an income tax law. The exemption in
tlio income tax law was so large that
it oppressed no one, but merely taxed
Mle and superfluous wealth. There is ro
reason why the land owners and the
man who is taxed for nil that he wears,
uses and cats should pay all the taxes
of this country and Idle owners of great
wealth should pay none. That Injustice
the Democratic party proposes to do
away with."
DWELLS ON Kl'SION.
The temporary chairman next dwelt
upon the fusion nt the silver people in
Pennsylvania, first the common enemy.
If the Populists of the south, he de
clared, were good enough fur the Re
publicans to fuse with .surely the Popu
lists of the west and north are pond
enough for the Democracy to take the
Mine course. The Democracy In Penn
sylvania, he continued, have one com
mon enemy to light and there is no
reason why they should divide their
forces and light separately. The Popu
lists of Pennsylvania were character
ized as the plain and common people
of the state nnd lie said it was time fur
the Democracy to retrace Its steps and
be again the party of the people. In
the great days of Democracy In Penn
sylvania it had always been the party
of the people, representing them and
their Interests closely. Ill-gotten capi
tal has stopped all the mouths of the
leaders of the Republican party in
Pennsylvania and made It Impossible
for them to light the battle of the
people.
The chairman stated that while the
platform of the Republican party pro
nounced In favor of international bi
metallism, Its orators and allies all
spoke and worked In favor of gold
monometallism. Rimetallism had been
the system of this country for eighty
years and "had been filched away from
us," The Democracy, he declared, pro
posed to restore that system with or
without the consent of any other peo
ple. In conclusion, Captain Keenun
said that he believed a bright future
was In store for the Democracy, now
that It had come In close touch with
the people. With the friends of silver
united against McKlnleyism and Re
publicanism he believed the congres
sional, senatorial, legislative and local
county tickets would be greatly bene
fitted and that the Democracy of the
Union would be encouraged to know
that the Democracy of Pennsylvania
wus a unit for the Chicago platform
and the Chicago ticket.
ROLL OP DELEGATES.
The roll of delegates was then called.
When Lancaster county was reached,
ex-State Printer J. Hayes Grler. of that
county, protested against Guy W. Fer
guson being allowed to sit as a substi
tute for William B. Given, of Columbia.
Mr. Grler declared that Ferguson Is an
employe of Given and that the latter
should not be accorded a seat because
lie Is state chairman of the Jeffersonlan
(gold Democratic) party. The matter
was referred to the committee on cre
dentials. The call of the roll proceed
ed slowly and when It was concluded.
Walter E. Hitter, of Lycoming, moved
that the appointment of committees on
credentials, resolutions and permanent
organization be dispensed with. This
was opposed by W. J. Brennan, of Al
legheny, and others, and there was
somewhat of a turmoil over the mat
ter. Finally, a rising vote was taken
and Ritter's motion was lost. The
committee were then named.
At 2:05 p. m. a recess was taken until
S o'clock.
It was 8:33 o'clock when the conven
tion reconvened. The committee on
permanent organization reported that
Temporary Chairman Keennn be made
the permanent chairman and this was
adopted. The committee on credentials
reported that William B. Given, of the
third district of Lancaster county, and
his substitute, Guy W. Ferguson, be
unseated because they are not in sym
pathy with the platform adopted In
Chicago and are in favor of a ticket
lately nominated at Indianapolis, and
that Dr. William B. Thompson be seat
ed In his stead. It also reported that
George B. Wilson of the first district of
Lancaster county be unseated for the
same reason and that Dr. Charles My
ers be seated In his place. In conform
ity with a resolution passed nt the re
cent Democratic county convention in
Delaware county the committee further
reported In favor of seating Charles
Crawford, John J. Buckley, Michael
Cronln and F. I. Holland In place of
B. M. Custer, Thomas J. Osborne, Ty
ron Lewis and F. F. Walker. The re
port was enthusiastically adopted. The
report of the committee on resolutions
(the platform) was read by Walter E.
Hitter of Lcomlng.
THE PLATFORM.
The platform is as follows:
Resolved, That this convention cordially
endorse the nomination of William J.
Bryan, of Nebraska, for president, and Ar.
(thur Sewall, of Maine, for vice president,
'made by the Democratic natlonul conven
tion recently assembled at Chicago and
pUUgo to them a cordial, united and vig
orous support.
Resolved, That thti platform of princi
ples adopted by the laje Democratic na
tional eonventlon at Chicago be accepted
by this convention ns the expression of
opinion of the mijorlty of the duly accred
ited representatives of the Democracy of
the United State upon the Issues Involved
In the present political canvass, and that
we heartily endorse the same and pnrtlcu.
larly that plank In favor of the free and
unlimited colnnge of both sliver and gold
at the ratio of 16 to 1 and that this conven
tion confidently appeals to the people of
Pennsylvania for the support and vindi
cation of these principles at the ensuing
election.
Resolved, That Inasmuch a the dele,
gates from this state participated In the
proceedings of that convention from the
beginning to the end, the Democracy of
Pennsylvania is thereby bound by its ac
tion and recognises the true and primary
principle of Democracy that the will of
the majority shull rule.
Resolved, That we affirm our belief that
the election of William J. Bryan and Hon.
Arthur Sewall will emphasize the fact
that a government of the people, by the
people and for the people shall not perish
from the earth.
SCENES OF DISORDER.
When the adoption of the platform
was called for, Robert E. James, of
Northampton, mounted the stage and
started to address the convention in
opposition to the resolutions. Mr.
Jumes held In his hand a formal pro
test which was drawn up by the gold
Democrats, but such an exciting scene
developed that he did not read. He
had spoken but a few words, which
were to the effect that his remnrks
would be distasteful to the majority of
the delegates, when there were loud
cries of "shut him up." "He's no Dem
ocrat," "He's a friend of McKinley,"
and like remarks. The delegates were
soon In turmoil, and the chairman and
State Chairman Gannon tried In vain,
for fifteen minutes, to restore order.
The delegates stood In their Beats and
in the aisles and yelled derisively nt
Mr. James, but throughout the ordeal
he stood unmoved. Finally the dele
gates became pnrtlally quiet nnd the
speaker resumed. When he had ut
tered but a few sentences, however, the
pandemonium broke out afresh nnd
with renew vigor. The scene was one
of wild disorder, but Mr. James con
tinued speaking although his voice
could not be heard u dozen feet away.
The noisy delegates cheered loudly for
Bryan and Sewall, but the protestor
kept on talking. After a while, Judire
Dewitt, of Bradford county, appealed
to the convention to hear Mr. James
nnd then the convention, upon motion
of Magistrate Hughes, of Philadelphia,
decided that nil speeches pertaining to
the resolutions be lin.ited to live min
utes. Mr. James again proceeded nnd
he was given some attention. He spoke
eloquently in behalf of "sound money"
and when his time limit had expired
he hnnded the formal protest to Chair
man Keenan.
THE PROTEST OFFERED.
To the reconvened Democratic state
convention of Pennsylvania: On be
half of those whom we represent we
enter our earnest protest against the
net Ion of this body accomplished and
proposed. We speak for those mem
bers of the Allentown convention con
stituting a large proportion of the
body who refuse to surrender Demo
cratic principles or to accept the
substituted heresies of Populism.
We deny the right of this conven
tion to change a line of the body of
the sound Democratic doctrine un
animously proclaimed at Allentown
by tho authorized committees of our
purty.
We protest against the unlawful or
ganization of this body In violation of
pnrty rules and against your arbi
trary action In unsealing lawful dele
gates for the offence of fidelity to
Democratic principles and the substi
tution of others whose only claim to
recognition lies In their abandonment
of Democratlo doctrines. We espec
ially protest against your substitu
tion of the so-called Chicago platform
for the Allentown declaration of prin
ciples. We conceive the declarations of the
Chicago convention to be unpatriotic.
Vicious and tin-Democratic. On nil
the pressing questions of the hour
vert Democratic precedent, falsify
Democratic history and trample on
Democratic purposes and alms. For
one hundred years under the teach
ings of Jefferson, Jackson, Benton,
Tllden nnd Cleveland our pnrty has
maintained an unbroken front In the
battle for sound money, correct fliinn
clul principles and tho sanctity und
inviolability of private nnd public ob
ligations. All the legislation to be
found on the federal statute books,
securing the blessings of sound cur
rency to our- people in the fruit of
Democratic thought nnd enacted by
Democratic administration. All
schemes for the Issue of flat money,
for the debasement of our currency
and consequent repudiation of obliga
tions have come from our political
opponents and against constant and
consistent Democratic resistance.
We have ever denounced and op
posed all such propositions. In this
opposition we propose to continue to
the end.
We are ready to battle with those
who have stolen the name and the
banner of our party nnd would pros
they violate Democratic doctrine, sub
llsm and Repudiation. We denounce
the action of the Chicago convention
In refusing to endorse the wise, pure
nnd patriotic administration of O ro
ver Cleveland. In relieving the peo
ple from oppressive tariff laws, in
purifying the civil service, In main
taining untarnished its financial
credit he has served his country and
brought honor upon his party. In re
fusing to recognize and applaud those
public servlces'of a Democratic presi
dent the convention but discreditd it
self and honored him by contrast.
Conceding to the citizen the great
est freedom In criticism of the judicial
action, we denounce the threat to re
organize the Supreme court of the na
tion, to make it subservient to party
behests as little short of revolutionary
and almost dangerous attack on a co
ordinate branch of government, which
affords the people the surest safe
guard against political fanaticism.
We believe that honest labor striv
ing for the highest measure of reward
Is entitled to sympathy and support
in all Us proper efforts to that end.
We believe that organised labor Is
not responsible for the disturbances
of the peace so often attendant upon
such movements; nevertheless we re
gard the maintenance of public order
and peace, the suppression of riot ami
the protection of property and life as
one of the first and most important
functions of government. When un
lawful assaults are made against fed
eral laws It Is the right and the duty
of the federal government to protect
itself nnd enforce its laws without de
pendence upon the consent of any
state. To estlbllsh this principle the
war against the rebellion was fought
nnd won nt too great a sacrifice to
permit It to be questioned now. If
disregarding our protest find the
rights of the Democracy of Pennsyl
vania this convention insist;? upon the
grafting of this in your platform, we
reluctantly, but unalterably declare
that we cannot follow It in this dis
honoring and disastrous venture."

Thomas F. Emmens, also of North
ampton, then addressed the convention
and declared that Mr. James did not
represent the Democracy of that coun
ty. Judge Dewitt, also criticised Mr.
Jarnes' remarks and classed them as
unDcmocrulic.
He (Judge Dewitt) offered to give to
Mr. James $100 a line for every line that
he could produce from the utterances
of Jefferson, Jackson or Tilden (to all
of whom Mr. James had referred In
his address) which sustain a gold
standard.
The resolutions were then adopted by
a vote Intermingled with cheers, Ex
Congressman W. II. Sowdcn, of Allen
town, next offered the resolution to oust
Mr. Harrity as the Pennsylvania na
tional committeeman. It read:
Whereas, The delegates to this conven
tion assembled at Allentown April 29, ISMi,
elected U-legates to the national Demo
cratic convention, which delegates elected
William F. Harrity as a member of the
national commute and
Whereas, 1" e said William P. Harrity
has publicly declared that be has retired
from polities und he has not participated
in the deliberations of tho said committee
since his election, therefore be it
Resolved, That the Hon. James K. Jones,
the chalrmun of the national Democratic
committee, is hereby requested to exercise
his prercgutive under the rules governing
said national committee, declare a vacancy
ami appoint a successor to the said Will
iam F. Harrity who will be In hearty sym
puthy with the Chicago ticket and plat
form, until such time as the state cent nil
committee shall fill said vacancy under
rule twelve of the rules governing the or
ganization of the party in this state.
The introduction of this resolution
created another cxcltina scene and
dozens of delegates were on their feet
at once, endeavoring to mnke motions.
Finally Magistrate Charles P. DonneKy,
of Philadelphia, was recognized and he
moved that it be laid on the table.
Delegate Howley, of Pittsburg, the
chairman of the Allegheny county dele
gation, seconded the motion. An nyc
and nay vote was taken, which resulted
171 ayes and ITS nays, and the resolu
tion was tabled and thus killed. The
report of the committee which con
curred with the People's party repre
sentatives on the question of fusion and
which recommended tho acceptance of
the Populists' offer, was read by Judge
Dewitt and adopted. Resolutions au
thorizing the state chairman to select a
resilient secretary in the city where the
state committee's headquarters are lo
cated nnd giving the state executive
committee power to till any vacancies
on the ticket that r .ay occur, were
adopted and after the selection of the
nominees named nbove (they all being
chosen by acclamation) the convention
nt 6 p. m. adjourned sine die.
BURNED TO DEATH.
Terrible Trajedy at JermyriMrs.
Robert Cox the Victim of Fire.
Julia Hendricks Injured.
Special to the Scranton Tribune.
Jormyn, Sept, 10. A most distrslng
accident occurred nt the home of Mr.
nnd Mrs. Robert Cox, on Second street,
shortly after 7 o'clock, Wednesday
evening, through the upsetting nnd
explosion of a lighted lamp. As a re
sult, Mrs. Cox was so severely burned
that death relieved lur of her sufferings
shortly after 11 o'clock, Wednesday
evening, and Julia, the bright little
four-year-old daughter of Postmaster
F. A. Hendricks, was severely burned
about the face and hands. The dwell
ing was also set on fire nnd hut for the
timely arrival of Crystal Fire company
would have been destroyed. The little
Hendrlck girl Is a frequent visitor at
the Cox family's residence, Mr. and
Mrs. Hendricks being near neighbors.
Wednesday evening, Mrs. Cox anil the
little girl were upstairs In one of the
bedrooms, when in some uncxplninahle
manner the lamp was overturned, fall
ing from the table to the Hour. Im
mediately upon striking tho tloor It ex
ploded, throwing tile burning oil
nrottnd the. room. The little one's
clothes were soon a mass of llamcs.
Mrs. Cox rushed to the assistance of
the child and it is supposed curried her
down stairs.
In the excitement of the moment nnd
peril of the child, Mrs. Cox rushed from
one room to another, thus fanning her
clothes, which had been Ignited. A mo
ment later she ran out Into the street,
her clothing by this time being a mass
of flames. Several near neighbors,
Johnson Bennett, Harry Smith and
John Robinson, who were near at the
time, saw Mrs. Cox's condition nnd
rushed to her aid, but by this time her
entire clothing was destroyed. She
frantically appealed to the men to
"Save Julia," evidently forgetting that
she hnd brought the little one down.
While she was being carried to a neigh
bor's home, willing hnnds rushed into
the burning house to find the little girl.
They were unable, however, to dis
cover her and to the crowd that hnd
arrived the news that a little child was
in the burning building created intense
excitement. Subsequently she wtw
found at her parents' home. The little
one's hands nnd arms and a portion of
her face were found to be painfully
burned, but her Injuries are not con
sidered fatal. Mrs. Cox's condition was
more serious, however, as she was ter
ribly burned from hend to foot. Doc
tors Peter C. Manly and M. J. Shields
attended the two sufferers nnd did
everything in their power to alleviate
their sufferings. Mrs. Cox's Injuries,
however, proved fata! and she died
Wednesday evening at 11.30 o'clock.
The funeral will take place at Tamau
qua today. Crystal Fire corupatiy sub
dued the (lames, which were confined
chietly to the one room. The damage
to the contents of the house Is princi
pally by water and is only slight.
