Many Patriotic Democrats In Pennsylva

THEY RISE TO THE OCCASION I
Ringing Address to Bound Money Men In the
StateThree Electors Have Resigned.
They Could Not Consistently Stand
Upon the Chicago Platform.
Special Correspondence.
rillLADKLrillA, July 27. Tho sentiment
of tho stnto U9 reflected In U10 Inst week
has been entirely favorable to McKlnlcy
nrul Holxirt und against Hryan 11ml Sowull.
Tho patriotic Democrats of. tho common
wealth hnvo arisen to tho Importance of
the occasion, and, like the wnr Democrats
of 1800, nro for tho Union first and tho
party afterwards. Already throo electors
have resigned from tho ticket, while thou
sands of Demoerntle voters have an
nounced their tntontlon of tioltlnu; In No
vember. There lsmuch significance In tho consul
tation held by leading Democrats of this
city to consider what lino of duty they
should accept la tho present presidential
contest. Tho following resolutions wore
offered by John 0. Iiullitt and unani
mously adopted .
Resolved, 1. That tho platform adopted
by tho Chicago convention Is neither
honest nor patriotic, and, therefore, nor
Democratic ;
2. That it dlfTers so radically from the
past doctrines of tho Democratic party,
and particularly from tho national plat
form of 18U2, and of thn Pennsylvania
platform of tho year lffJd, that wo cannot.
as honost Democrats, accept its wide de
parture from truo Democratic doctrine.
and wo bellovo that tho highest duty of
trtio Democrats Is to mnke'overy effort to
defeat tho ticket nominated at Chicago.
Hosolvcd, That commlttoo of seven be
appointed, of whom tho president of this
meeting shall be chairman, with instruc
tions to confer with representative Demo'.
crats throughout tho state, for the purpose
of formulating some plan to preserve tho
Integrity of tho Democratic party in Penn
sylvanla, and secure the defeat of Bryan
and Sowall.
As n result of this meeting an address
has been issued to the Democracy of the
state. It la slgnod by Henry D. elsh,
chairman; John C. Iiullitt, George V
Haor, Jninos P. Sullivan, William 51. Sln-
gerly, Joseph Morwltz and Kmanucl
Furth. Commenting upon tho platform
tho address says :
"This platform Is a lwld and startling
departure from the principles, traditions
and teachings of thn Democratic jwrty as
proclaimed from tho birth of tho republic:
down to the assembling of tho convention
at Chicago u platform so falto, so mis.
chlevous In its tendencies and so dan
gerous in its policies to tho welfare
poacoand life of freo government that It
behooves all honest and patriotio men to
deuounco and condemn it.
"It proposes to debase tho coin of tho
United States by tho freo and unlimited
colnngo of silver at tho raU) of Kl cents for
a aonnr 01 iuu cents, ana ny tno power 01
tho government to compel the acceptance
of those false and debased coins no longer
so limited in amount ns to Iw convertible
Into golR by the people, ut their nominal
valuo, thereby cheating honest creditors,
defrauding tho lnlxircr of nearly one-half
of his wages, robbing tho pensioned soldier
of one-half of the vulue of his pension
contracting tho currency, .by tho oxpulslon
of gold coin from circulation, and injur
ing, if not destroying, our commcrco with
European countries, enrichlngu few stiver
mlno owners nt the oxpenso of tho people,
and permitting, under cover of law, a dls.
honost debtor to evade payment of half
his Indebtedness. It tends to bring tho
fanners and tho worklngmen down to tho
wretched flnanclnl condition of tho people
of Mexico, India, China and Jnpuh, ngri
cultural countries In which the sliver
etandurd nrovullsnnd where tho rewards
of labor are lower than anywhere elso In
tho world.
Tho address further says. "Tho Chicago
convention having thus departed from the
Democratic faith and promulgated now
and strange doctripos, and having erected
within tho temple of Democruoy n shrino
for tho worship of falso gods, all Demo
crats are absolved from every obligation
to respect or support its revolutionary
methods; and as the doctrines announced
are dishonest, destructive of national
honor and private obligation, and tend to
create sectional and class distinctions, en
gender divisions and hatred and strife
among tho people, wo are bound as truo
cltUens of tho republlo to repudiato It, and
exert evry lawful moans to Insure the do-
fout of Bryan and Sowall, who hnvo both
glvoD their adhesion to Its false doctrines.
P06SIULE STATE CONVENTION.
"Many of our fellow Democrats who re
gard tho Integrity of party organization as
of tho first importance will doubtless feel
constrained to accept tho platform and
nominees of tho Chicago convention under
protest, and trust to the future to restore
sound Democratic principles; but thoso
who are Democrats from lxillef in and at
tachment to tho just principles of froo
government, which (he purty has hitherto
po courageously and persistently asserted,
and who regurd party organization as only
a moans to securo the practical enforce
ment of those principles In tho adminis
tration of government, cannot conscien
tiously accept so narrow a view of their
"duty to tholr country."
Tho ovcr-enthuslastlo and over-confl-
'den Populists and Sllverlte who counted

ulsuppolntod He has not linen ngurlng
inomlnently of late, but ho turns up all
right, as might lie expected Cameron
will upport MoKinley "I am tor freo
silver," ho says, "but I am not a fool."
There Is a world of wisdom In this briof
sentence. Sonator Cameron woj ono of
thoso who entertained the Idea that In
Rome way, It was never quite olear how,
silver might bo restored to circulation
without repudiation, robliery and revolu
tion, lie rather oouuottod with tho idoa
as possibly good politics. lint ho is not
nnd never was a fool And coning what
has coino of tho fallacy, and Into what
company it would tako him, ho draws out
Whatever may havo been Senator Cam
eron's notions on silver, he has no place
In the Popullstlo gallery And chore are
many others who will come to a similar
conclusion and will dollno their position
toward tho Chicago platform in his sen
tentious phrase, "I am not a fool.

crats here are Interested In nows from
Washington. In tho first place. It can bo
stated with authority that Secretary of
tho Navy Herbert will not support tho

tlon. Then Assistant Secretary Hamlin,
of tho treasury department, who Is sup
posed to represent President Clovoland, Is
out in a statement In which ho says:
"no political Issue is Involved In tho
coming olectlon. Tho question to lie de
cided is far deeiier and more vital. Tho
ncrpotultr of Republican Institutions has
been threatened. Kvory loyal citizen should
ally himself against tho forces which con
trolled tho Chicago convention, forces of
lawlessness, which nro Inconsistent with
tho malnumunco of the republic.
"Henceforth there should lie no Repub
lican no Democrat but a union of loyal
citizens against tho combined forces of re
pudiation nnd disorder. When once this
dongorous element has lieen stamped out
ut the K)lls by an Indignant iieople wt! can
up-ill 11 divide and discuss those political
questions which for generations have-kept
alive tho two great political imrtles.

Pierce lightning and high wind accom
panied the storm, or rather two storms,
for Pittsburg and Allegheny was tho
mcuting place of ono storm from the west,
which came up tho Ohio valley, and an
other from tho east, which followed the
course of the Allegheny river. Such a
battle of the elements Is randy witnessed.
In Kast Pittsburg and Wilmcrding hall
fell In largo quantities. In the first live
minutes of tho storm .HH of an inch of
water was precipitated, and tho wind
reached a velocity of thirty miles an hour.
At 8 p. m another storm broke-, almost
ns fierce as the llrst. and .(VS of an inch of
rain fell, making a total of 1.,'i.l. Tho riv
ers are now rising and another flood Is ex
pected. mong the casualties reisirted is on ac
cident to the camp of tho Kighth Ward
Hunting nnd Pishing club of Allegheny,
who were In camp at Sugar grove The
momliers say the storm was cyclonic.

ed as though they were weeds. A largo
sycamore wassuapiH'd off near tho giounil
nnd fell utsin the tent of cauMiors, killing
John Plgus, breaking tho back of deorgo

The result of tho storm In proiwrty dam
ago has not lieen fully gathered, but It is

wore unroofed, sings blown down and
windows broken. Along Pennsylvania
avenue toward llonu-wood. where many
fine man-Ions an- located, the splendid
lawns are completely destroyed nnd the

estimated that JKKl.Ooo will hardly cover
tho loss in this locality alone. Reports
from outlying towns tell of much duiu-n-xe
to property.

by lightning. They ore in the hospital and
considered by tho physicians to lie In a
