Barrowu to -subdue. About one-half of the members of the national committee, occupied seats on the platform, the balance of them falling to put in an appearance. Chairman Barrow made a short address, denning the objects of the meeting and his hearers to stand firmly by the principles enunciated In the Chicago platform of 1896. He Introduced as the first speaker John P. Tarvm of Kentucky, who spoke.as" follows; Speech.

VFor the first time since the close.of the civil war, a great national political organization Biands free from the domination, of the organized money power of the lanfl. The democratic party in 3896 declared and accomplished. Its independence, -and-thereby parted 'corn-, pany-with the Cievelande, the Whit- neyB, the Belmonts and 'other renreseri- itatlvefi of capita). It Is cur desire that the democratic party shall retain HB Independence, and stand as the representative and agent of the laborer and the producer of the nation, If this IB to be, tht voters must control the organization, not the organization the This condition Is beat brought ftboot by the, spread and maintenance of Individual thought and'individual freedom of action in matters public and In addressing an audience, not long smce, a speaker said: 'Personally, I favor the Chicago platform and the nomination of Mr. Bryan but I ani willing- to leave these matters to wiser heads than "From this proposition I must wholly dissent If we are i willing to leave rthese matters to, wiser ours, those-who are "wiser than we are may still wiser than they are, end fewer in number.

And the process Avoud go on until the logical result would bft the leaving of these matters who might happened to be deemed the wisest of us alL Such are- suit would be.destructive of all individual thought and action, and people's government impossible. 1 look upon the doctrine of as and not abounding in courage. have heard a great many men say that'ln'lSSfi they.believed* In the gold standard, they 'supported the Chicago -platform and Mr. Bryan pa'rty me'isuch a-position'Is wholly indefensl- It seems to me that the men who -were opposed to-the principles of the Chicago platform "In 1895, and thereby the platform, are entitled 'to respect'than those who were opposed to'those principles, but -for- the platform simply because a democratic convention had made it, and the same-principle applies to those republicans who believed In the principles of tlje Chicago platforin, but rpted against ft because the republican convention did not believe in them. Those who say they for Mr.

Bryan In. 1S96, and Hay they-did it for party'regularity only, are now demanding that the Chi capo plat form of 189C be presented by th democratic national convention of 1900 a mutilated form. Those making the flemand have never stood on "the Chicago platfornv but for reasons of their own have chosen to stay with the democratic organization, and they are now.seeking to again place that organization "where the republican orgaTi Nation the domination of the organized money power of the country. .1 suggest to you that the'democratic party did not make the Chicago platform great, but the Chicago platform ennobled the democratic party. Jf you want to destroy tjie force and power "of the democratic strike at the Chicago platform, rand that; is Just what those people who are now fighting at that platform desire to do.

If you want to send forth, the democratic party In 1500 strong enough and great enough to overthrow the party of organized, wealth, keep the Chicago platform Inviolate, cling to every principle embodied in it, and leave it as it is of right, justice ant! humanity. "Every nian Js entitled 1o receive for himself all that he can earn'by his own labor. Thnfc Js the democracy of today; "that te the meaning of the Chicago platform; that is the end we are seeking to attain. No political ever born can accomplish it, but. (he spirit of human freedom, born in the human heart, and growing and developing through, centuries and ages, can accomplish It, and will nccompllEh It, acting through a human organization, anc that spirit Is acting and striving today, by and through the'democratic party as its representative; and we, tonight, arc to retnin the democratic party as the representative of thai spirit, and! BB the means and Insirumenl through which that spirit will dominate this country and government, and finally rule the world, and bring to the dusl every crowned head and every mon- archlal government on earth, "In your efforts to put into application the principles of the Chicago platform, In the administration of this government, you will find opposed to you the political forces and agencies of the great cities of New York, of Chicago of Indianapolis, of St.

Louis, of Cincinnati, and of Louisville. To those In control of those cities the patronage of the city departments Is of more value than the election of a congress and a president, and they would bargain away any principle on earth for the eake of a deputysblp In municipal office. You must look to the country nml to the small townrt for the bulk of your support, and lor the hope of your ftuccess. "But you can win, and you will win The common people have the numbers You have hundreds of votes where organized wealth can buy or Intimidate one. The weakness of McKinleyism the cowardice of Alegrism cannot you; the brutality of Hannaism canno cruan you; the corruption of Crokeris can not ver whel you; I nd I vldua thought and individual freedom, tha subjection of party to principle, wll give to you the government IhaMeffer- Bon dreamed of, that Jakscn fought for that IJncoln prayed and died for, am that Bryan lived and contended for." Thft mention of the name of Altgold produced a great demonstration, men standing upon their and cheer- tug wildly.

But what could be'expected from a Mtrty that has violated every pjank of Its ust mitlonal whether with reference to international bimetallism, or 7uban independence, or civil KervU-c, or Iteral treatment of 1 old soldiers, or vhat not? else 'count be expected rom a party that a year considered 'erelbla annexation cntntnai? What else could bo expected from this Kuropeaii-im- taUon party, that lias adopted a British financial policy, and a British colonial toUey, nnd Is doing Us utmost to establish a ZJrjtlsh alliance? What else could be ex- from party that has resorted to biise subterfuge of misreprescntlnx attitude of Germany in order lo justify i larger standing army? What else except nconsiatency and fraud could expected from a party that proclaimed in isstJ hat It had a monopoly of honesty, and was the special custodian ot our national honor? What else could be expected from 9. party that doctors and distorts and'teu- iora the telegrams from the Philippines? The very fact that the'truth and the whole can not bo given "to the people of this 'republic with reference to the real status of affairs Jn lha Philippines is evt- den9e sufficient that the government at Washington in guilty of purposes and designs that will not bear the light of day.

Whose testimony are we to accept with reference to tlie real conditions in 1 Ihe Philippines? -As for me, I prefer the testimony the privates, the boys In the ranks, to that those who wear the shouMtr straps and draw high pay, such as $300 to $500 a month. I prefer ihe testimony of the young men who colleges, who left the machine shops, to dudes and nincompoops who were given commissions because their daddies had social or political "pun 1 with this administration.

war of conquest and inurtleron the other side ot the earth? Let us have testimony of the'unbiased anil uhbought manhood as to the real condition Jn the Philippines, When General Mcrrltt wrote his report at sea, on the steamship China, and fcued it the 31st of August, 18S3, he was sull laboring- under the impression that the president of the United States believed that "forcible annexatton Is criminal." General Merritt makes no- claim to being a 'prophet, and, therefore, could not anticipate that in the month of October the president of the United States would, make a campaign tour, to'visil the Trans- Mfssissippi fair at-Omaha that the president would put his ear to the ground and discover that forcible annexation Is not criminal. In that report General Merritt made the following statement: "The Philippines prior to the arrival of the land forces had been waging a. desultory warfare with the Spaniards for several months, arid were at the timo of my arrival in considerably probably not far from 12,000. well supplied with small plenty of "ammunition. and several guiis, and had obtained OsiUons of Investment, opposite the punish lines throughout "their entire The principal leader of tlie insurgents, General.

Aguinatdo, shortly after the naval battle ot Manila bay, came from Hong Kong with the consent of our jutval authorities, -'began active work in raising troops and pushing the Spaniards in the direction of of-Manila. Having met with some success and the natives (locking to his assistance, he proclaimed ari independent KoVernmtrnt of republican form, with himself as president, and at the if me of my arrival in the islands, the entire.edifice of executive and legislative departments and subdivision of territory administrative purposes had been accomplished, at on paper, and the Filipinos held military possession of many points in i the islands other than those in the vicinity of Manila." A little, farther on in the same report Ccneral Merritt state, "that much dissatisfaction Is felt by the rank and lile of the insurgents that they have not been permitted to enjoy the occupancy of Manila and that there is some ground for trouble -with them owing to the fact." Immediately following the report of General Merrill appears cJie correspondence of General Merrill and Admiral Dewey with the Spanish governor general, show- Ing that when Dewey and llerritt demanded that the city he surrendered within, forty-eight hours, lhat the answer of. the Spanish, general was that he assumed that'the notice was given fn order that he might remove tho women and children -incl non-combattants, but (his impossible owing to the f.ict that the insurgents under Agutnnldo had completely surrounded the city. Thereupon, Dewey and Merritt demanded that he either surrender the city or assume the responsibility of the destruction of tho city, and the Spaniard surrendered, and since that time the table? have been reversed, although Aguinaldo bad made this surrender necessary, and had demonstrated that he had a better secretary of war than we had, because he had his men "well equipped with small arms and plenty of ammunition," and none- of his men were drawing their rations from the heel trust, yet neither Aguinaldo nor his brave soldiers fighting for liijertyihnfl Independence, --were treated as heroic men tie- servo to he treated; woro treated as Washington and our colonial ancestors were treated by Lafayette and Baron Steuben and the other Germans and Frenchmen, who assisted us fn securing our independence. I a.m very much afraid that the life of this heroic AguinaHo will sacrificed In Ihe- strupglc of his people for liberty.

-I am satisfied that the daj is coming when the American people will make an neology lo the world for the blunder and tho crime committed against the inoffensive people, who have been Inspired by the history of the American republic to do for themselves against Spain wliat we have done ajrJinst England. As for me and for mine, I fall to understand whv It ts not as honorable for Agiilnnldo to say as it was for Patrick Henry. "Give me liberty or glvo me death! 11 KintajrV The Ohio congressman was followed by General B. B. Flnley of Ohio.

He spoke as follows: "We are told that we must not criti- cise the policy of President McKinley's so-called Philippine war, and to do so Js a species of disloyally to the flag-a 'giving aid and comfort to the enemy." "Some of the administration papers go so far as to make our acquiescence in the policy of President McKinley touching" the Philippine the test of loyalty, and denounce as traitors those who dare to question tho right ot President McKinley to carry on a war, as they put it, to suppress the rebellion of Aguinaldo and hta followers. "No one can truthfully say that the sympathy of every American does nol extend to our brave and loyal soldiers find sailors, who, by direction of their commander-ln-chief. President McKinley, are heroically shedding their blood for a policy which they as obedient eoldiers and sailors have no right lo question. "We are sll of one mind on thru subject; but if the test of loyally lo flag Is to be measured by loyalty to President McKinley's Philippine policy, I predict that long before the next presidential election the truly loyal element in thin country will be found to be In a hopeless minority. "The people at the risk of being called traitors are asking some verj pertinent conundrums as to what the war f3 about; who Ic was that declared war against the Filipinos; and why we are sacrificing the lives of our soldiers and sailors and spending, as It is said one million dollars per day In eo-callec war against a mixed race of people whose country we have neither the right nor inclination to forcibly an- For headachf kick or.

Bryan, with the demociattc party, Is bitterly assailed -by administration organs lor daring to trlllcSse President McKtnley's Philippine policy, These organs point with pride to the present commercial prosperity as a complete vindication of the argument advanced In that the safety, pros perity and general welfare of, the country depended upon the maintenance oC the Bingle gold standard, which, they say, illustrated and proven uy the abundance of sound currency and great activity in all branches of business anil trade under Mr. McKinley's administration, "Present conditions are not attributable in the least to anything that Kinley's administration has done. There has not beon a line of legislation or a single executive act that has In any degree contributed thereto.

President McKinley- declared at the opening of his administration that there could be no prosperity In business (vhtte the government was running behind; yet, notwithstanding Ihe fact that war expenses have 1 been provided for by extraordinary war taxes, Mr. McKinley's administration. lias run the government behind more than ninety millions of dollars for the year just ended; so that, if have prosperity, it comes to us not because of I'resi- dent McKinley's administration, but in spite of it." Urvnu's It i 1 Mr. Bryan was the last speaker of the evening. He was introduced by Chairman and was given an enthusiastic welcome.

His declarations that he felt embarrassed about speaking' in Chicago becuuse of Ihe split the local democracy, nnd that il ivus not nla business to Secret service to see" who waa the foremost (temocnit, provoked, a little among" the staunch adherents of Altgeld, but his assertion lhat Chicago democrats look alike to ins" put them right again, and from first last Jiis speech 1 -'was most enthusiastically He spoke as follows: "In speaking in Chicago I am embarrassed by the fact thai the advocates of the Chicago platform are iJiyJded into two camps. It ia not iny to establish a secret service to ascertain what democrats devoted to the principles ihe lost party creed. All Chicago jtfaitV form democrats look alike to instead of irylng to drive any professed believer in that platform out the. party, my aim is to so Impress upon all democrats the-importance of the triumph of democratic principles, that all local differences will be lost sight of in the determination to restore the government to the foundations laid by ISie fathers. "In the brief time.that I will speak (o you, I desire to condense what 1 have to say upon three subjects into a few brief propositions.

First, President McKinley by sending a commission to Europe to secure international bimetallism, confessed the gold standard to be unsatisfactory; second, tlie failure of the commission to secure biuietatism proves that bimstrtllism can be restored only through Independent action; third, the gold standard Is maintained today not because the American people desire it, but because a few English financiers by controlling the policy of England control, through the republican party, the financial policy of the of the United States. Fourth, if the increased production of gold in the Klondike anfl the Importation of gold from Europe have Increased the 'volume of money and. improved times, It is "evident that more money makes better limes, and times could be still further improved and the improvement made permanent by the restoration of bimetallism, which would make silver as well as gold available for coinage. Fifth, if it was more diflicnlt to maintain tlie parity between gold, and silver, when the supply of silver was increasing, IL must now be easier to maintain the parity since the supply of gold is Increasing- "On the trust question I suggest the following 1 propositions for your consideration: First, the trust in a menace to the welfare of the people of the United Stales, because it creates a monopoly and gives to the few In control the monopoly almost unlimited power over tho lives and happiness of consumers, employes and raw material; second, the president ap points the attorney general and can, if he desires, secure an attorney general who will enforce the anti-trust Jawvj; third, the attorney general can recommend sufficient laws If present laws are insufficient; fourth, the attorney general can recommend an amendment to the constitution if the present constitution makes it Impossible to extinguish the trusts; filth, the republican party is powerless to extinguish the trusts so long as the trusts furnish the money to continue the republican party poiver. "Jn the Philippine question certain fundamental principles are involved.

First, there are but two sources of government, force and consent, monarchies being founded upon force; republics upon consent. Second, the Declaration of Independence asserts that all governments derive their Just powers from the consent of the governed. ThlnJ, If the Declaration of Independence la sound, we cannot rightfully acquire title to the Philippine ialands by conquest or by purchase from an alien monarch, to whose rebellious subjects we ourselves furnishe'd arms. Fourth, If the Filipinos are and of right ought to be free, they should be Immediately asaured of our nation's Intention to give them Independence as soon as a stable government can be established. Filth, the Filipinos having fallen Into our hands by accident of war, should bo dealt with according to American prtncfpies, and not only be given Independence, hut protected from outside Interference while they work out their de stliiy." was a Uniletl Sialew commissioner, .1 having Jurisdiction over-'fugitive slave thus called upon to net in Ihe The law was clmptt- re- course luiied the warrant itulreil only that a claimant should i e(iul red la wan placed In produce evidence of service arid ait nd a mawlinl named escape and of the 'Identity of the re(leilck for immediate service.

What threats were made and what colloquy followed my informant had not learned, but tlie result nf it was that the parties returned across the river.to the city and stopped in front of rny ofllcf, the crowd keeping Kuard over Ihe -wagon while the Mlssourians hunted up a lawyer and others sought counsel for the fugitive, which occupied considerable learning particulars, as I sat watching the actions ol the crowd without being able to distinguish what was said, I was much amused as I noted the apparent alacrity with which some persons I knew appeared to take sides with the Mfssourians. Every man in the crowd who was himself a native of the slave region, or the son of such a there were many such in to- be very zeaioua In his manifestations of svrri- pnthy with the slave claimants. 7he amusing Idea was 'emphasized by the fact that most of them were of the class in the south lhat never owned a slave, and who had migrated from thai blissful land to the free soil of Iowa principally because they had become certain thnl if the remained In their original locality they would never he able to own one.

Uut the system of the respectable people of the north seemed inhuman, and was also obnoxious because of Us uo- lilical Influence.

The sight of a victim of Ihe system, seiMd by a couple of voluntary bloodhounds while seeking lo escape (rom bondage, stirred the btoo'l of those who thought that liberly was rightly purchased at any price. These men had no desire to Interfere with the system where It ex- Jsled. They were not responsible for It, and could no nothing under the constitution to destroy Jl.

General Guest do this.

Tlie amusing part of the whole 'ormance Is lhat there IB now nothinf for the connnlsfiloned general to coin- The guard was takerji out of service when. was -enlisted under the tederal. government. General Guest was a general with nothing whatever to guard bus been reorganized jn part luring the past few months, but on ft hasis iiiat entirely eliminated the gencivils of the old organization. In securing a commission, therefore, ai general, General Prime secures vindication.

Nothing more. The Xatfonaf guard has moved away uid left him since he started his fight for the commission, and he stands today a gene-rat with nothing 3ut a commission anil a vindication- When General Guest received the order to turn over his office and papers to General Prime he-got out tils ready lelter writer, the same-one thai, fins dome service on numerous previous occaaJor.s since the beginning of tlie controversy, and addressed a response, lie set forth that he had been duly elected tinti commissioned genera) the First brigade, and said he had not fjevn legally removed. He was grieved to appear refractory, hut fell that he owed a duty lo the brigade and tb the puhllc lo hold on to the office till he should he properly removed. He eald his rights in the matter were constitutional, and he did not feel that he should rellmjuish them without proper process. In conclusion be said: "If General Prime thinks he la entitled to the oflice which I hold he can test my rights by quo -warrants proceedings; arid I svlll'be willing to" cause as little delay as possible In reaching a decision on that question.

1 think you will recognize the Justice of requiring this action and that no discourtesy Is meant either the governor or yourself, slnct in no proceeding KO far Inslilucd have I been a party or had a no court has passed on my right to the office. "If the court by mandamus, quo war- ran to or other proceedings, will pass upon the question and decides that I UlegulljMield the office, I'will be too glad to comply with the order and rccognixe the appointment," but until that is clone I cannot consent to resign or admit that General Prime is entitled to an office to which he -was never ejected. Very respectfully, "James A. Guest, "Brigadier General." lie Can't lie Kecognized. With this letter it to the adjutant general.

That officer was not long in determining what to do. If he should enter into any controversy with General Guest about ihe wuutd he in some measure a recognition of the latter's claim lhat he was an ofliccr of the guard. This was the particular thing that must not be ad- General Guest might keep the records, hut he must not he granted the satisfaction, of official recognition hy the military organization of Iowa. Accordingly ihe adjutant general in piy to General Guest's long and wrathy epistle, employed just auout one dozen words. It acknowledged the receipt of "your communication of July 5," and "begged lo remain, yours, M.

H. Byers, adjutant general." That, was all. was udilresaed to Guest, not to "General Jas. A. Guest." The adjutant general will not quarrel with General Guest.

The latter has been looking for but will not get it. Rome- of the Burlington 'newspapers have'Intimated thai the next step lor the adjutant would be to court-martial the Burlington man. Wherein tlie Burlington newspapers ih't rilcatc tho Immaturity and deficiency of their understanding of the millta-ry code. This Is impossible. Genervl (iuest has no nlace in the guard.

To coiyt-martini him would be the Presbyterian church trying exconV-" mnnlcate Fuzzy Wuzzy. From'the mils'! nry view point, Mr. Guest Is'a mere person. If he were guHty of something he would have to be handed instead of hplno; shot; ihe military distinction of belmj shot could not be conferred on him, for he Is entirely outside the pale. common person, the-military orsrtnizalion of Iowa can hold no argument.

General Guest may keep his records If they are any fun.to him, the Iowa National Guard keep its dignity, without which It would poor imlzed. The incident Is; closed. Mr. (lut'st may fulminate "some'more. bul ho uill never Induce" the adjutant general's ofiice to recognize him again as a mdflary personage.

The fact that a lot of misinformed people have addressed him "General" for the past two years, has been just that much "velvet" to Mr. Guest. He wasn't a general at all, and the adjutant general's oilice Is sorry ever made such mistake. MOTH Kit MUST PAY RFW Orrers for of Mur- mnl Cnnjghl a Son.
