The death was so sudden that It was as much

and put himself for treatment in the hands
of Dr. H. W. Wlllotts. It is believed that

THE KH60LUTION8.
As soon as tbo result of tho contest for Poor
Director was announced, tho committee on
resolutions submitted their report. It was a
lengthy document, and was presented by
James T. Ulaksleo. Tho chairman of tbo
committee, P. F. Mouagban, of Shenandoah,
refused to sign the report, and his name
was not attached to tho resolution presented
endorsing tho Chicago platform. Some ono
wanted to know what had become of tho
chairman of the committee. Mr. Monaghan
stepped to tlio platform aud explained his
position. Ho said, by way of introduction,
that he was a Democrat, and as such ho did
feel satisfied with tlio majority report, and
that was tbo reason ho did not sign it. Ho
wanted tho Chicago platform endorsed, but
was willing to stand by his friends aud loave
the questiou for settlement in tbo hands of
tho delegates.
The question of parliamentary procedure
was raised, followed by a motion to adopt
both the majority and minority reports. A
delegate then read another amendment in
which Wm. Jennings liryan was endorsed.
This was not seconded. Thon nmid the great
est confusion and with tho delegates In an
uproar tho wholo batch of resolutions was
adopted.
The Demoorntic party In tho county con
vention assembled heroby ro-alllrm its
steadfast allegiance to the cardinal prin
ciples of the Democratic party, tbo party
founded by JeUersou hlmeell, who enun
ciated tho truo principle of government;
tho party that established tho Monroe
Doctrine tho maintenance of which has
prevented' the spread of monarchial forms
oi government on uio American continent;
tho party which undor tho leadership of
JackBon, resisted the encroachment of the
money power and maintained the right of
American seaman upon the high seas, tbe
party under whose administration tlio war of
1812 and tho war with Mexioo wero fought
and gloriously won; the party under whose
statesmanlike policy the most valuable and
important acquisitions ot territory were made
to our domain; tbe party that has reclaimed
from eornoratioiia auu syndicates, alien ami
domestic, and restored to the people nearly
100,000,000 aces or vaiuauie laud; tlio party
that has even been tbe bold and vigorous de
fender of constitutional liberty, protected
the righU of the states, upheld tho dignity of
labor, Insisted upou tbe just prerogatives of
tho Individual oltiseus against governmental
interference, aud resisted the enactment of
arbitrary and unjust laws, declared for honest
elections without federal bayonets or force
bills, which declares that taxation shall be
imposed for public aud not private purposes.
wo ueciare mo people capable ot self-
government, determined to relievo them
selves of trusts and pools, vultures of taxa
tion. Whouphold the form of liberty, while
devouring Its substance, and understanding
the story or liuuker Hill and Yorktown. are
studying the lines aloug which despotism has
been marching; lioets are marshaling under
the head of honest Democracy, to regain for
the people that which baa beeu gathered for
the tenelt of trusts, pools and monopolies.
We, In aouvention assembled, do further
declare that there are over 4,000,000 farmers
iu this country , as honest a set of men as
ever breathed the breath of life, who have
seen millions of dollars accumulated by a few
man throush tbe aid of favorite legislation.
while the laud tiller with his magnificent
crops, his steady toil, his honest patriotism Is
rocking tho cradle of a mortgage, while his
lwrd earnlug slip through bis flngen year by
year.
, There are minions oi workmen in tbe
same condition and thoy now declare that
they have waited and lived on promises long
enough and that they will vote for the party
ttiat has had the eourago to denounce the
prolllgato waste of tho money, wrung
from
tho people for the benefit of a few by
op-
premlve taxation and lavish appropriation of
the recent Republican State Legislature aud
Congress, which lias kept taxes high, while
tho labor that pays them is unemployed and
the products of the people's toll arc depressed
In prices, till they no longer repay the cost of
production.
We declare ouraelves unalterably opposed
to the Importation from tlio old world of
cheap labor undor contract by hire, to com
pete with our American labor, thus prevent
ing proper rciiumomtlon to those for honest
Industry, who are industrious, moral and
thrifty, and who have sworn allegiance to
our country mid support to her cherished
Institutions, and we demand that our ports Ire
closed agaiust tbo admission of servile rare
unfitted by habits, training or kindred, for
nbsorbtlou in tho great body of our people or
for the citltenshlp which our laws confer.
Tbe extravagance, crime and corruption
Indulged in by tbe Directors of the Poor aud
County Commissioners of Schuylkill county
call loudly for the displacement of those
term-servers nnd tricksters, by men with
oou rage to maintain and administer tho
duties of their respective ofllces with true
ami unswerving fidelity to the interest of
tbo people.
We deuouuee as hypocritical the expression
and declaration of the recent Uepublicau
convention charging that tbo extravagance,
crime and corruption of public officers in
Schuylkill county wero attributable to Demo
cratic mismanagement whon tbe fact well
and "widely published is, tiiat the great Com
monwealth of Pennsylvania has novor been
so humiliated as all good citizens have been
by the chicanery, trickory.dislionest extrava
ganco and attempted speculations of tbo
recent Republican Legislature, who pre
sented such n class of obnoxious legislation
that a Governor of their own choice found
tlio doso too nauseating to swallow, and
checked them in tholr wilful and criminal
waste of tho pcoplo's monoy, and this sumo
oxtravaganco and misrulo nas found tho echo
in tbo olllco of Poor Director and Commis
sioner in Schuylkill county, where extrava-
Kanco. corruption, ncEllcenco and misman
agement has run rampant, tho Itcpublicans
boing in full control of tho said offices nud
being the only persons responsible; wo declare
that tbo Diugloy bill passed by tho recent
Republican Congress is against the intorest of
tbo peoplo, taxing as it doos tho necessities of
life, building, supporting and encouraging
trusts and monopolies, thus interfering with
individual enterprises and impoverishing tbe
peopio.
Wo doclaro tho record of tho last Eepubli
can Legislature is a record of crimo and
corruption nnd deserve tbo condemnation of
ovory honest citizen. Novor iu tho history of
legislation lias tnere been such schemes do
vised by legislators to rob tho treasury as In
tho last Legislature. Legislators with free
railroad passes iu their pockets from cor
porations in working out bills of expenses
added railroad faro to their othor question
nblo charges. Tho general appropriation bill
is full of oxressivo items of different
amounts to bo paid for by taxes to bo lovied
upon an already overburdouod peoplo. We
declare that tbo peoplo should rlso iu their
might and hurl from power thoso who are
favoring opprossivo taxation invoked to aid
trusts nnd make pooling profitable Tbe
people havo already waited too long for
IcEislation in tlio interest of tho masses, and
tho tax-ridden monopoly-oppressed people
demand now that tbo burden that has been
crushing out their lifo bo removed; and bo it

This volume of words was received with
painful silence, until tbe namo of Representa
tive Griffiths was reached which elicited
much applause Tho reading of tho resolu
tion was no sooner concluded than tho chair
man proceeded with Its adoption, hut a hitch
occurred in tho program. It was mutually
agreed between tlio extreme silvorltes nnd
tho conservative members of tbo committee,
that thoro should be no minority report
presented to the convention, in deferenco to
tho wishes of tbo nominees. Hut tho friends
of Bryan and freo silver could not accept tho
endorsement of Cleveland Democracy by a
Schuylkill convention.and William Anderson,
of Now Boston, mouuted tho platform and
in a creditable speech presentod a minority
report as follows I
Wheroas. Iu labor troubles thoro is a ten
dency by Judges to hurl writs of Injunction
against tho guaranteed rights of tho people,
rights which are oldor than tho writ itself,
aud which the peoplo have enjoyed ever
sinco they became a nation;
Itesolved, That wo protest against the
prostitution of this solemn judicial power for
tho use of corporate greed and for tho sup
pression of the peoplo's rights and privileges;
that tho rights of tho peoplo for speech and
to peacefully ussemblo and petition for re
dress of grievances are guaranteed by tbe
federal and Stato constitution, and we
emphasize our ndherenco to tlio Chicago plat-
turn) anu renew our protest against govern
ment by injunction.
Tho reading of tuo resolution was received
with yells and cheers, aud struck a respon-
8lvo chord. It was evident that tbo conven
tion was as firmly wedded to Bryan and his
pet theories as was tlio Chicago convention.
Both tbo minority and majority reports wore
accepted, and the party goes beforo the peoplo
on tho Chicago platform.

THE CONTEST FOR COMMANDER I
Men Who Are Anxious to Succeed General
T. S. Clarkson Have Already Opened
Headquarters-Boomers for Future
Encampments.
Buffalo, N. Y Aug. U. Camp Jew
ett, the picturesque tent city erected
for the accommodation of visiting vet
erans, on the bluff overlooking; Lake
JOrte and the mouth ot the Niagara
river, was officially opened by Commander-in-Chief
Clarkson yesterday
afternoon. The commander-in-chief
was escorted from his headquarters by
Mayor Jewett and other cttlsens, and
by Bldwell Wilkeson post, of Buffalo,
and Columbia post, of Chicago, headed
by the regimental band of the Thir
teenth United States Infantry, which
is assigned to Fort Porter during the,
encampment. As the commander-in-chief
entered the camp a salute ot 16
guns was fired In his honor by the fed
eral troops at the fort.
The general was escorted to the pi
azza of a park pavilion situated In the
center of the camp, about which thou
sands of veterans and citizens formed
In a hollow square. Mayor Jewett, on
behalf of the citizens' committee, pre
sented the camp to the commander-
in-chief, who accepted it In a grace
ful speech.
Commander-In-Cmer Clarkson en
tered the pavilion when his remarks
were concluded, nnd held an im-

promptu reception of officers from Fort
Porter and officers of tho National
Guard. Later he made an Inspection
of the camp, in company with the olll
cers of his staff, after which lie re
turned to his headquarters.
John C. Llnelmn, of Concord, N. II.,
now commissioner of Insurance for that
state, and former Junior vice com
mander of the Grand Army, Is tho
most formidable of the new candidates
for commander-In-chiof. His head
quarters wore opened yesterday.
Pennsylvania veterans are booming
Colonel Gobln, of that state, for com
mander-ln-chief. Already over BOO
Pennsylvania men are here, and they
are nil working hard for Colonel Go
bin's success. Colonel Gobln arrived
yesterday, and has opened headquar
ters.
A- delegation ot prominent Cincinnati
business men arrived yesterday to
press Cincinnati's claims for the na
, tlonnl encampment In 1S0S. Headquar
ters have been opened in the Iroquois
hotel. There now appears to be no
doubt that Cincinnati will have tho
honor of entertaining the G. A. R. next
year. In fact, there appears to be no
opposition.
The Richmond boomers arrived in
town yesterday and Immediately pro
ceeded to work for the encampment ot
1899. There are 13 of Richmond's lead
lnp men In the party. A prominent
member of the delegation is Walter H.
Sanary, editor and owner of the Rich
mond State, who said today that his
committee were doing good missionary
work, and had every reason to believe
they would get the encampment in
1899. Not a delegation approached so
far, he said, but was in favor of Rich
mond, and several members of the
committee which will have the selec
tlon of the place are pledged, to Rich
mond. A noble enterprise which l likely to
enlist the attention of the Grand Army
delegates during their session here Is
the establishment of a sanitarium for
the benefit ot veteran soldiers and
sailors ot the war for the Union. It is
proposed to locate on the island with
Castle PInckney, In the harbor of
Charleston, S. C, a refuge for old sol
diers who are ill, and congress Is asked
to take advantage ot an offer ot the fa
vorable location for the purpose. The
scheme has the endorsement of Com
mander-in-Chief Clarkson.
