Tho elements woro klndor to Mr. Cockran than they had boon to Mr. Hryan,fornn nf tornoon shower had cooled tho nlr and made tho night an Ideal ono, In pleasant contrast to tho swel tering atmosphere which oppressed tho Bryan shoutcrs. Tho pollco arrangements wcro hotter, nlso. In placo of tho small platform from which Mr. Bryan had spoken was orocted n big stago, whereon wcro seated many of tho'vlco presidents of tho meeting, whoso names ruado a list 800 strong, nnd in whoso ranks wero Included many of tho most prominent business mon, financiers, bank ers and railroad prosldonts of Kow York and othor cities. Among thorn wcro Charlos S. Falrchlld nnd William L. Trenholm, Congressman John K.

Eighteen thousand scnts had been placed In tho gardon, and ull of them wcro filled when Mr. Cockran advanced to tho front of tho platform nnd was greeted by a tre mendous choer, mon climbing upon their chnlrsand waving little American flags which had been strewn through the hall. Threo hearty choors wero given for Mc Klnley, and thero wero hlssos whon a gal lery god yelled, "Whnt's tho mattor with Bryan?" Major John Bryno, tho president of tho league, called tho meeting to order, ad dressing his hearers as "Democrats who BOOnUE COCKRAN. lovo their country above party," nnd ex horting them to savo that party from re pudiation, anarchy and socialism, and then presented Hon. Perry Belmont, whomado a short speech. Thoro was a second outburst of cheering nnd of flags when Mr. Cockran was Intro- duccd, which lasted several minutes, and whllo It was In progress sixty slugers: chosen from nmong tho city's banks, sang "Tho Star Spangled Bannor," tho vast nudlenco swelling tho chorus with tre mondous effort. Frequent outbreaks of cheers followed Mr. Cockran s periods. Ho spoko In substnnco as follows: "Mr. Chairman, ladles nnd gontlomen, fellow Democrats all : With tho inspiring strains of that nntlonnl song still ringing in our ears, who can doubt tho Issuo of this campaign? Stripped of'all vcrlml dls guiso, It Is nn lssuo of common honosty, an lssuo between tho honest discharge nnd tho dishonest repudiation of public and prlvnto obligations'. It Is a quostlon as to whether tho powers of this govern ment shall bo used to protect honest In dustry or to tempt tho citizen to dishon esty. On this question honost men can not differ. It is ono of morals and of jus tice. It Involves tho oxlstcnco of social order. It Is tho contost for civilization It self. "A Domocrntio convention may re nounce tho Democratic faith, but tho De mocracy remains faithful to Domocrntio princlplos. Democratlo leaders may bo tray ft convention to tho Populists, but thoy cannot soduco tho footstops of Demo cratic voters from tho pathway of honor nnd of justice. A candldato bearing tho mundato of a Democratlo convention may In this hall open a canvass loveled against tho foundations of social order nnd ho bo holds tho Democratic mnsses confronting him orgnnlzed for tho defense A Solemn llurdeu of Duty. "Follow Democrats, lot us not dlsgulso from ourselves tho fact that wo bear in this contost a sorlous and grnvo and sol emn bunion of duty. Wo must rniso our hands against tho nominee of our pnrty, nnd wo must do It to preservo tho future of tho party ltsolf. Wo must opposo tho nomlnco of tho Chicago convention, and wo know full well that tho succoss of Our opposition will moan our own exclusion from publlo life, but wo will bo consoled nnd grntlflod by tho reflection that It will prove thnt tho American iooplo cannot bo divided Into partios on n quostion of slm jlo morals or of common honosty. "Wo would look In vnln through tho speech delivered liero ono weekago to find a true statomont of tho lssuo Involved In this canvass. Indeed, I bcllevo It Is doubt ful If tho candldato hlmsolf quffo under stands tho nature of tho faith vhlch ho profosses.

FACTIONAL FIGHTS SHOULD CEASE Tho Appointment of Secretaries by Chair man Edwards May Cause Trouble That Should by All Means be Avoided. Major Losch's Greed for Power. Special Heralii Correspondence. Pottsvii.le, Aug. 18. In my last letter I had to deal with our friends the enemy and their household troubles. This timo wohavo troubles of our own, at least 0110 or two al leged Kcpublicnn newspapers aro trying to caii90 dissatisfaction, assisted materially by monwhohavo not occupied a scat on tho party bandwagon for so long, that now that they luivo been allowed a llttlo authority aro willing to sncrifico tho party's interests to satisfy a personal animosity. This is all wrong. It is neither fair to County Chairman Edwards nor to those candidates whoso names appear on tho ticket as the party's standard-bearers. I know from personal knowledge that Mr. Edwards accepted tho position of county chairman wUh great reluctance. Ho fully realized, and does so to-day, tho responsibilities ho assumed, and ho asks tho co-operation of tho party newspapers and workers. Tins ho should recelvo, but ho should not be dis appointed because the l'ottsvillo Republican tho very naino of which is a misnomer has gmsicd tho opportunity to display its spleen against ono of the party's nominees. Tho Republican has not supported tho party ticket for so long that it now finds itself in tho position of n political outcast. In its endeavor this year to assume tho position of tho prodigal sou, it found tho fatted calf wanting. Tho candidates and voters doubted its sincerity, and now the editor is trying to create dissatisfaction within tho ranks on tho very evo of the opening of tho campaign. My advice to Chairman Edwards is to pay no attention to tho pscudo Republican sheet. The battles of tho past have been won witli tho paper ar rayed against tho ticket, and he can do the samo tbiug this time. Hush money will prove a useless expenditure in that diiection. A great many Republicans appear to bo surprised at tho promptness of the bald headed statesman from Schuylkill Haven, now that ho has himself been permitted to "ride in tho band wagon" once more, in endeavoring to provido good scats in tho same vehiclo fur his followers. Samuel, like the immortal Sairy Gump, has 'opes. In fact, he has been lUing on hopes so long that any- 0110 of a less sauguiuo temperament would have died in despair long ago. But, however that may be, ho lias carried ins point in tho naming of the county chairman thereby scoring a point against hi quondoui adversary, Coiigicssiuau Ilnimm. aud his friend, Senator C'oyle, who have had tho county orgauizatiun just as they wanted it for some time past. But tempora mutantir, aud people change with it Tho chango in tho present case lands the Hon. bam on top. Not satisfied with captur iug tho county chairmanship he wants to name tho secretaries also. This, too, would be all right, if tho selections ho made wero such as to commend themselves to tho mass of voters. But unfortunately they do not, and tho Hon. Sam should, profiting by his past experience, get into line at once, drop tho men he has endeavored to furco into tho positionsand select others who will be ac ceptable to all factions, more especially accept able to all tho candidates. Whilo tho selection of Chairman Edwards is a victory for thoso who oppose tho Iirutmn- Coylo faction, and is recognized by tho latter as a bitter defeat, the fruits of that victory should bo deferred and set aside until after November, The Republican party lias a con test to meet that will require tho united support of all factions of tho party if victory in November is desired. This cannot bo 'accomplished if tho party is divided. Roth factions have representatives upon tho ticket, and that fact should bo an incentive for each to lay aside their "pruning kuives" and work together in harmony. Chairman Edwards, too, should not permit himself to bo led Into making such a mistake at tho beginning of his career as to allow him self to bo used ns the creature of any one man, whether that man bo tho leader of one faction or another. As to tho twaddle pub lished in some papers about the capture of tho organization by tho anti-(Juay wing of the party, that is hardly worth noticing further than to say that if Mr. I.osch had not been acceptable to tho friends of Senator Quay he would not have been on the slato for Senator. Hut tho lion. Sam should, of all tho politicians of Schuylkill, be tho last to lose his head over his first success in many years to rido rough-shod over his opponents, as It appears ho is now disposed to do. The gentlemen named for secretaries are, no doubt, estlmablo men, but ono of them is entirely unknown and of 110 weight rolitl cally and of no experience, whilo tho other is, I am Informed, unacceptable to several of the candidates. Chairman Edwards should go slow, very slow-, as there will bo more campaigns to handle, after this one, and his appointments should bo such as will cause no friction nor add to tho difficulties of a campaign that will bo difficult enough to handle without adding mora to them.
