LINE OF CAMPAIGN OUTLINED Tariff Bill Only the Pioneer of Such Legislation. NO RETREAT TO BE MADE INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., August 15.—The largest convention in the history of the democratic party in-Indiena convened at 10 o'clock this morning in Tomlinson Hall. There were 1,747 accredited delegates seated on the main floor. Although the weather was intensely warm the great hall was filled with spectators, who fanned them- selves Into a state of comparative comfort. The hall was elaborately decorated with bunting and American flags. The only pictures to be seen were those of Governor Claude Matthews of Indiana, President Cleveland and the late Thomas A. Hen- dricks. They were steel engravings, and the President's, which was the largest of the three, hung immediately above the pre- siding officer's head. The large flag which was wrapped around the Hendricks monu- ment at {ts unveiling hung from the ceiling in the center of the hall. The state band, located in the rear gallery, played on the slightest provocation and kept the audience in an enthusiastic mood until the conven- tion got down to business. Gov. Matthews’ Address. Chairman Taggart of the state central committee called the convention to order and introduced Governor Matthews, the permanent chairman, who was received | with loud cheers. Governor Matthews spoke as follows: “Once again a great party assembles in convention to deliberate upon those ques- tions that concern the welfare of a people, the good of government and make appeal to the public for a renewal of its support and confidence. It ts gratifying to see so many gathered together from all the walks of Iife and your enthusiasm gives hopeful | sign of coming success. Surely the gloomy forebodings and presages of defeat heralded in the opposition papers had but little effect. We are met under peculiar condi- tions, still fighting the battle of the people to relieve them frem the burdens of tax and a system of taxation created one gen- eration ago through the necessities of war —burdens then placed under the promise that so soon as peace was restored relief should be given. “A party for over thirty years carrying on the. policy which was enriching the few at the exrense of the many, heaping up fabulgus wealth In the thousands of one class, sapping the strength and resources of all others to maintain it, begetting ex- travagances that invaded the «dministra- ion of government until it was impover- ishing the millions to pay tribute to the privileged few. “The peopie at last revolted and for the first thme since 1857 placed all Gepartments of the government in the hands of the dem- ocratic party to free them from these vices and reform the injustice of the We came into possession of the government, but with a depleted and empty treasury made so by the recklessness and_profiiz: of republican administration. Not alone was this our inheritance, but, crippled and embarrassed through the entailure of ex- travagent appropriations reaching beyond the control of public affairs and forcing upon their successors the passage of de- ficieney bills, and issuance of bonds to maintain the credit and the honor of the government. These strained and unnatural conditions, resulting from their ruinous ptive teachings and juggling with vial _and public debt statements of the country, introduced by Mr. Harri- son's Secretary of the Tr could not but saoner or later seriously t the pros- Ferity of the people. De: id corrupt pelicies and reckless extravagance in the administration of government through pub- Ke officials seriously affect the morals inteprity of a people and encourage conditions in the managemen: of private business affairs of the citizen. ‘The results have been witnessed in the widespread financial and commercial de- pression that swept over the country. And now we see a once great party, seeking to escape public condemnation for their mis- chievous policy, and still deceiving a lonz- suffering people by charging these result: to the accession to power of the democratic perty. In the seeming satisfaction which the republican press records one commercial disaster after another, and history scems to repeat itself when we read that Nero dled while Rome was burning. “In asi ing control of the government no party ever encountered such tremendous difficulties as met the democratic party, and bo g-zater struggle to fulfill the prom- ises and redeem the pledges it had made in its declaration of principles of 1892. One by one these pledges are -beinzg redeemed through the heroic+efforts of our Repr2- sentatives in Congress. St2p by step we fight our way, camping on every vantage gcound, until we shall stand amid the purpling heights of victory won an] suceces achieved. “We may not in the present measure and through the present Congress secure all that may be desired, buc it is Just as sure as night shall day it all lesis- lation that may give relief in the direction statutes, fixed and secure. It msy vdded to and advanced, buy it will never more be taken from or moved backwar¢: it matters not whether the republican or the demo- cratic party may be in the ascendanc’ True tariff ~etorm, a bread coimmere freedom, a revenue taxation based upon an economic expenditure, has come to set its seal upon all future legislation of the gov- ernment. The line marked out by Pres- ident Cleveland in his message of isS7, his recent letter to Congressman Wilson, the platform in iz, will be strictl: and followed unt! a complet reform in national taxation is attained.” Every Leading Democrat on Hand. Twenty-five hundred leading democrats from all parts of the state are here. Every leading democrat in Indiana is here. Dis- trict meetings were held at the state house, and the committee on resolution and organi- zation met last night. Gov. Matthews was unanimously selected as chairman. A vigorous discussion has arisen upon several points in the platform, one of which was che indorsement of Senators Voorhees and Turpfe, and opinion was divided as to what the report would be. Candidates will, in the majority of instances, be selected by acclamation. Henry Berghoff of Fort Wayne will be nominated for treasurer, C. Wellman of Sullivan for clerk of the supreme court, W. R. Mevers of Anderson for secretary of state, Joseph Fanning of Marion for auditor, Maricn Griffith of Vevay for attorney gen- eral, and C. W. Thomas of Harrison for superintendent of public instruction, and Judges Reinhard and Daley for the su- preme court.

EXCELSIOR SPRINGS, Mo., August 15. —Before the convening of the republican state convention this morning the Kansas City delegation went into caucus and adopted a resolution declaring for Col. L. H.

Filley William Warner were heartily cheered entering the hall. aneonee both asserted the convention would be onious, sev- eral fights were known to be on the tapis and a lively time was anticipated. After much wrangling, Maj. Warner was finally led upon for temporary chair- man. The hour of convening of the con- vention having been delayed, was set for noon on account of the fight. Col. Waters will be. made permanent chairman, Promptly at noon Chairman Bathwell of the state central committee called the con- vention to order. There were 946 delegates present. With a few introductory remarks, Chairman Bathwell presented Maj. Warner of Kansas City as temporary chairman. Chairman Warncr’s Address. Mr. Warner, in taking the chair, in part, said “Assuredly as the tidal wave of de- mocracy passed over this country in No- vember, 1892, so surely will a cyclone of republicanism sweep the country in No- vember, 184. The power with which the people clothed the democracy for good has been used only for evil, and that continual- ly. The democratic party has been weighed in the balance of public opinion and has been found wanting. The verdict of the people is made up. That verdict will be placed in the ballot box in next November. When read, it wilk be noticed to the demo- cratic party that Tom Reed will be the next Speaker of the House of Representa- tives, and that the next President of the United States will be a republican. What the people, irrespective of party, demand is a fixed, intelligent American policy on financial and tariff legislation. Stability and not change is what they want. The only hope for a revival of business lies. in the restoration of the republican party. “Then, and not until then, will the busy hum of industry mingling with the song of prosperity be heard in the land; then, and not until then, will an honest day's labor demand an honest day's wages, and not until then shall every flag except ‘old glory’ be furled throughout the length and breadth of the land; then, and not until then, shall the gates of Castie Garden swing outward to the anarchist and the pauper laborers of Europe; then, and not until then, will the dignity of labor and the no- bility of toil be recognized; then, and not until then, shall silver be coined in our mints and restored to its proper place, side by side with gold as a circulating medium; then, and not until then, shall every dollar coined or issued by the gov- ernment, whether gold, silver or paper, be equal to every other dollar; then, and not until then, shall the revenue be ‘so levied as to furnish sutfictent revenue for the economical management of the govern- ment, while guaranteeing protection to American industries, without the resort to the issue of bonds in time of peace. “The republicans of Missouri should be sharers in the coming victory. Let us so conduct the coming battle of ballots that when the result is proclaimed we may be able to exclaim: ‘We have fought the bat- Ue, we have gained the victory. Missouri, our Missouri, the brightest star in the galaxy of the states is redeemed, regenerat- ed and disenthralled from the blight of democracy.’ ” Indiana Populints. INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., August 15—The populist state central committee met here last night. The chief topic discussed was a propositicn to withdraw candtdates former- ly allicd with the other parties. Many of them are on the county ind state tickets, and it was decided to allow them to remain on the populist ticket.

A very large audience was in attendance and the president jo- ccsely remarked that from present indl tions the next public meeting would be held | in Convention Hall. The program was elab- orate and exceedingly well rendered throughout, and it would be unjust to the many performers to go into details without giving specific praise to every one, but it may be said thet the singing of Miss Alice O'Neill, who was so ably accompanted by Miss Victoria Jennings, was par excellent and called forth round after round of ap- plause, as did also the playing and singing of little Miss Zietter. ‘The program was as follows: dress, Bro. Davy; ‘Tube Rose polka by Prof. Scharf orchest:a; recitation, Bro.Spence; vo- cal solo, Miss Alice O'Neill; Imperial Banjo and Mandolin Club, Jones brothers; recita- tion, by Miss Mary Adams; vocal duet, Miss Besete Walport and Addie Melsher; gossip drill, by Miss May King and Mary Maguire; mandolin and guitar trio, by Misses Mabie and Rosela McGill, Miss Calhoun; recitation by Ella Adams; “Old Kentucky Home” by orchestra; vocal #olo,, Mr. Patterson, accom- nied by Prof. Berry; plano solo, Miss amie Just; re¢itation, Mr. Lewis; vo- cal solo by Iittle Migs Zietter; vantrill by Mr. Ryon; mandolif and guitar trio, by Misses McGillg Ke Miss May Cathoun; yocal solo, Mr. Willtam McCabe; Prof. Berry; viclfh and plano duet, by Mis: Ert and Mr. Brewer; chiming belis, by or- chestra. .

Just how much damage the canin2 sustained is not known, but the rider of the silent steed was thrown cn his head 2nd so painfully injured that he had to be sent home by the police. IN HOTEL. CORRIDORS “One of the saddest places in the world for a man to vistt fs an fnsane asylum,” said Ernest Lycett of Poughkeepsie at Wormley’s last night. “My business made it necessary. for me to go through one of these institutions a few weeks ago for the Purpose of examining the corridors and recreation halls, and I don’t think I will ever want to make another estimate on a contract in such a place. I was haunted by the faces of the patients I saw there for a week afterward, and I shall never forget one man I saw, who imagined himself, to be a train of cars. He was a powerful-looking fellow, and while I was in the portion of the building where he was kept he contin- ued ¢teadily running up and down the cor- ridor, making a noise like the escape of steam from a locomotive, and stopping every now and then to cell out the name of a staiion. I was informed that he had been a brakesman on a railroad train which collided with another,sand that his head had been forced through a door of a car, resulting in concussion of the brain. When he recovered consciousness his mind was ruined, and he began then the never-ceas- ing actions which I sew him engaged in the other day. For twelve years he had been rushing back and forth, calling out the sta- tions as he used to in the days of his san- ity, and only stopping when completely ex- hausted. If a man thinks he is having hard luck in this world because things go a little wrong with him I can think of noth- ing that would bring him to a proper ap- preciation of the blessings he enjoys in pos- sessing his mental faculties, if nothing else, than a visit to the wards of an insane asylum.” “The approaching conclave of the Knights of Pythias in this clty week after next re- minds me of something that may be interest- ing to many Masons in this city,” said Robert R. Decker of Jersey City at Wil- lard’s this morning. “The triennial convo- cation of the General Grand Chapter of the Royal Arch Masons ts to be held in Topeka next week, and it will be of great import- ance to the fraternity. A man from your neighboring state of Maryland, by the way, will be the most exalted member there and will preside over the deliberations as grand high priest. I mean George L. McCahan. There are many grand chapters of the Royal Arch Masons, in fact, this branch of Masonry has increased wonderfully in the past few years, and a difference of opinion seems to have arisen between the eastern 4nd western chapters on the subject of the ritual and the proper use of the insignia. The main business, therefore, to be trans- acted in Topeka will be to reconcile these differences of opinion and to do away with the deviations from the ritual now admit- ted in many chapters. The eastern men appear to think that the differences exist- ing are caused by the western men not be- Ing tMoroughly familiar with the exact meaning of the Masonic code. I am sure, however, that the convocatton will leave us with but one shade of opinion on the entire subject.” “When I was in England several years ago," said J. R. McHenry of Charleston, “I was passing a Jewelry store in London and was struck with the beauty of a pair of diamond earrings in the window. There was a card attached to the jewels which stated that their price was sixty pounds and that they could not be duplicated in Eng- land for seventy-five. I went into the shop to make a closer examination of the stones and saw they were gBenuine diamonds and evidently well worth the price asked for them. I told the Jeweler that I was going to the bank to draw some money and that if he would put the earrings aside I would return and pay for them. He replied that he would accept my check for tne. sixty pounds. I was amazed. 1 was a perfect Stranger in London except at one or two private houses afd with the Morgans, where I had-a deposit. I told the dealer that I would go to the bank, as I needed more money and would prefer to draw a there for the entire amount. He | thereupon informed me that I could draw check for what I desired over and above the sixty pounds necessary for the pur- chase of the earrings und he would give me the change. I drew a check for one hun- dred pounds, and he gave me forty pounds in change and said he would send the ear- rings at once to the Victoria Hotel, where 1 wa® stopping. When I returned in the evening to the hotel the earrings were there. I asked one of my English friends for an explanation of this remarkably care- less transaction. He laughed at me. The Jeweler, he said, ran oniy the slightest risk in taking a check from an entire stranger. He desired to sell the earrings and therefore, perhaps, stretched the iim- its of prudence a little bit, but still he was perfectly aware that if the check wasn’t good the man who drew it could not get out of England without being arrested. The jeweler was simply aware of the mag- niticent system of the English police, and I was assured that in sales where the amount was over forty or fifty pounds that almost any tradesman in England would have taken the risk and treated me in pre- cisely the same way that the jeweler did, notwithstanding the fact that I was an ab- solute sirangér to him. I still believe,” said Mr. McHenry in conclusion, “that some of our American sharpers could do a land office business over there if what my En- lish friend told me is true, and I have no reason to doubt its absolute accuracy.” “I have been somewhat amused recently in reading the accounts in eastern papers of the sliding mountain we have out in Oregon,” said A. P. Clayton of Portland at the Riggs House last night. “The artic} have pictured a towering and frowning mass of granite, steadily but surely moving down to devastate a smiling valley at its foot. The fact is that the sliding mountain of Oregon is situated on the Columbia river, near Cascade Lock. It is probably 500 feet high, and fronts on the water about half a mile, while it runs back from the shore about three-quarters of a mile. The O. R. and N. roadbed skirts this hill, and the tracks are continually being dis- turbed by the movements of the earth. The mountain has been known to:-slide as much as a foot In a day, but this has always been when the Columbia river has suddenly fal- len after being very high, the high water having had the effect of keeping the mou tain in check. Engineering experts, how- ever, have computed that the mountain, which contains something under eighty milion cubic yards of earth, moves reg- ularly at the rate of a thirty-second of an inch a day, and that it will take four or five thousand years for it to slide away. ‘The peculiar quality of the mass of earth and stone is caused by the fact that it has @ soapstone fogndation to rest on, which is not level, but inclines at a considerable angle toward the river. The Columbia river washes away the part of the mountain that projects into it, and carries it down to de- posit it on the sandy soil further down, thus making the latter productive.” “I was recently engaged in recovering some money for a client and the case pre- sented a very interesting story,” said George Wagnall,the Philadelphia lawyer, at the Ebbitt House the other night. “It ap- pears that a great many years ago two brothers came to this country from Eng- land. They were named Ambrose and Thomas Catt. Ambrose went off to the west and Thomas settled in New York. After awhile they stopped writing to each other. It was not lorg before the life of the man in New York was made a burden. His name excited the risibility of every American who heard it. Individuals who had but a limited acquaintance with him called him Tom, the small boys ‘meeowed’ at him as he passed along the street, and he frequently received humorous communi- cations inclosed in envelopes, whose super- scription was nothing but the picture of an arched-back feline, with the number of Mr. Catt’s abode beneath it. He wes not a n oral hero,and consequently he had chang- ed his name to Thomas Stevens, and mov- ing away from New York city he met and married a charming woman. Three chil- dren were born of the union, and the man died after quite a prosperous career with- out even mentioning to his family the fact that he had formerly borne such a dis- tasteful name. He had frequently spoken, though, of his mother, whom he said was Marguret Crosby, the daughter of a power- ful English clergyman, who did much to Scatter the doctrines of Wesley throughout the kingdom. Some time ago one of the Stevens children happened to see in a new paper an advertisement calling for informa- ticn as to the whereabouts of Thomas Catt, who came to America with his brother Am- brose, and who were children of William Catt, Southampton, Engiand. and his wife, Margaret Crosby. The young man was struck by the similarity of the name of his grandmother to that in the advertisement, and wrote to inquire who Margaret Crosby SS INDEX TO ADVERTISEM!

A reply came back from the lawyers—it_ was a western firm—that the Margaret Crosby advertised as the mother of Ambrose and Thomas Catt was the only @avghter of the preacher in question, and that any information regerding her rela- tives in this country would be gladly re- ceived, as several years hud been wasted in an attempt to find Thomas Catt and his heirs without avail. Mrs. Stevens then concluded to go west and see the lawyers herself, and, to make a long story short, it was proved to the satisfaction of every one concerned that the Thomas Stevens she married wae really Thomas Catt, and in the final settlement of the affairs, in which I assisted, she received something Itke $70,- oo, m_trust for her children, which Am- brose Catt had left to his brother when he died in the far west.” reese IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. Marked Improvement in the City’s Death Rate. The health of the city underwent a mark- «d tmprovement last week. The returns of mortality received at the health department show a decline of thirty-four in the number cf deaths. This ts equal to a decrease of over 26 per cent. The improved conditions were all along the line, the annual death rate falling from 23.1 to 16.9, which differ- ence represents the saving of over 1,700 lives per annum. Infant mortality contin- ues to lessen as the season advances. ‘There was a falling off in deaths from typhoid fever from thirteen, as reported the week before, to nine. Diptheria and scarlet fever, together with all the contagious diseases, are so far in abeyance as to be no longer causes -of anxiety to the medical faculty. | In a word, the health of the city, as shown by the returns, is in excelient’ condition. The report in detail shows: Number of deaths, %; white, 51; colored, 42. Death rate © 1,000 per annum, white, 13.6; col- ored, 24.3. Total population, 16.9. Twenty- five ‘Were under five years of age, 19 were under one year old and 2) over sixty years old. Twenty-two of the deaths occurred in hospitals and public institutions. The deatas by classes were as follows: Zymotic, 30: ccnstitutional, 16; local, 39; developmental, 3;, violence, 3. The principal causes of death were: Diph- theria, consumption, diarrhoeal, typhoid fever, 9; maiarial, 3; pneumonia, congestion of the lungs, 1; bronchitis, 1: kidney diseases, 4; meningitis, 1; cancers, 5. Pirths reported—17 white males, 24 white females, 17 colored males and 16 colored females. Marriages reported—13 white. colored, Still-births reported—2 white, 7 colored. ——>__ EXCURSIONS, Capt. Randall's eighth annual tourna. ment and dress ball takes place today at River View. The occasion ts a delightful meeting of city and country folks to in- dulge in old-time sport and pastime. The tournament will be a double event, and will represent the leading gentlemen riders of Prince George's, Montgomery, Fairfax and Washington. The grounds will be beau- Ufully decorated, and the crowning of the queen and ball to follow will make a day of rare pleasure. To provide for the crowd the two big steamers will run as follows: The Samuel J. Pentz, at 9:45 a.m., 1:45 and 6:30 p.m.; Buena Vista, 10 a.m, 2 p.m; Shepherd 10:15 a.m., 2:15 p.m.; Alexan- dria, 10: 30 and 7 p.m. Harry Randall, at 5 and 7 p.m. Steamers wiil leave River View for Washington at 12:15, 5, 10, 10:30 p.m. and 2 am., Thursday. Richard E. Brendt will be the orator of the day, and E. B. Hay will speak fn the even- ing. The ninth excursion of the Young Men's Catholic Club to River View takes place tomorrow. The managers of the club have been diligent in their efforts to provide a pleasing program for their patrons. There will be all sorts of athletic sports, includ- ing running, bicycle, hurdle and wheelbar- row racing, also an exhibition by Harry Park, the trick bicyclist. In the evening there will be a drill by the ever-popular Emmet: Guards, which will take place as soon as the 6: boat arrives. ‘The ¥. M. C. Cc. excursions are famous for their good order, and this will be no exception. Ordering Goods. Policemen Helan and Kilmartin of the first precinct, who have made such a good record in capturing thieves and other vio- lators of the law within the borders of their precinct, have arrested the young men who, it is alleged, have swindled a number of merchants in this city. Among the persons said to be their victims are Brya. Brothers and N. A. Pcoie, grocers. It is oHeged that these young men and another companion visited stores and or- dered goods, generally Mquor and cigars, and had them sent to a vacant house. When the goods are delivered one of them is at the door and he tells the driver he will be down and settle the bill. The goods thus obtained have been disposed of at al- leged houses ig fame. Frank Brolick, a young man wi ves on Capitol Hill, and Irving Bell, whose father is farmer, are yo poy men under arrest, and they are held for a hearing in the Po- lice Court. They have beerf fully identified as having played an important part in the transac- tiors. A Double Load. Policeman Murphy, who does duty in the ninth precinct, is not loved by the law- breakers in the vicinity of the old toll gate, and many of them would gladly welcome the news that he had been caught in the investigation. But they will not be made happy in that way. He arrested a young man named Gafford two days ago, and during the time he was under arrest he use’ his club on the prisoner's head. This indigaity inflicted on Gafford’s head had to be resented, so his friends thought, and William Gafford, his brother, startel out with a revolver, it is said, to look for Po- liceman Murphy. Policeman Sam Browne, who does duty In the same precinct, learn. ed that the brother had a pistol, and he was also informed that he had discharged the weapon in a salcon. He went in search of the armed man and found him. Not only did he have a loaded pistol, but he also had a load of bad liquor in him.

It was in the nature of a hearing given to representative wheelmen for the purpose of determining upon some police regula- tion regulating the speed of bicxgles. There were present G. B. French, chief consul D. C. Division L. A. W.; G. W. Ben- nett, president Associated Cycling Clubs; B. F. Larcombe, secretary of the Arlington Wheelmen; J. Hart Brittain, Grant Armor and E. D. Clapp. The wheelmen argued agajnst a limitation of speed, and claimed that the annals of the hospitals would show comparatively few accidents due to fast riding. A short while it was found that there were Inou wheels in the clty. Of this number #0 belonged to clubs. It was in these that the fast riders were located, and ft would be a hardship to pass a regulation which would practically destroy the use of the bicycle. There were dangers, however, in bicycle riding. Coasting and cutting corners. were elements that should be regulated by stringent laws. No bona fide wheelman would practice these things. It was only the beginners, who knew no better, that aid it. The Commissioners decided to write to the principal cities and learn what regule~ tions they had on the subject before taking final action. > - Charged With Robbery.
