A. “No wonder that the latest and most virulent incubus on our political life has wormed its way into the keeping of this party of political Phartsees. No wonder that the first time this political leprosy ex- posed itself to the light of day was in a republican member of a republican Con- gress. But it is a matter of common shame that this, the state of our common pride, must be charged with the crime of ‘Linton the Little.’ It will not do to coat his pill of bigotry with the sugar of sham patriotism. It will not do to save the country from going to the dogs through the cabals of secret, oath-bound promoters of religious | strife. It will not do to try to blind the eyes of the American people by throwing the dust of hatred in them. But I beg to suggest that it will do to adopt a constitu- tional amendment prohibiting under the penalty of forfeiture of suffrage member- ship in any secret, oath-bound political body. In the maintenance of religious lib- erty and the complete separation of church und state the democratic party has ever stocd and shail stand. “The horizon is clearirg and the prospect for the November contest brightens with each advancing month. It will take only the sober second thought of the masses to convince them that any program republi- cans may offer can only turn to biackened ashes in the fulfillment. Political legerde main cannot fool the people. With the } ren of depression and the panic resultant from tariff taxes and republican extrava- sance still hearing them down, with trick- ery and knevery dominating the republican state conventions, the ear of the people is already deafened to the appeals of the re- publicans. The action of the democratic national convention is awaited as offering permanent relief from the effects of years of republican misrule.”* @ large majority the convention voted to 1efer all resolutions to the resolutions committee without debate. The roll_of congressional districts was called und each delegation nominated members of the committee on credentials, order @f business an] resolutions. The convention then adjourned until 2:30, and the committees were caled inio ses- sion immediately. MR. AA?

AMERICAN VESSEL COMPETITOR TAREN General Monzon a Member of the Party. CONVOYED TO HAVANA a HAVANA, April “0.—The Spanish gun- boat Mensagera has captured and brought into this port the American schooner Com- petitor of Key West, loaded with arms and ammuzaition, believed to be intended for the insurgents. The details of the affair show that the Mensagera Saturday last sighted near Berracas, on the north coast of the prov- ince of Pinar del Rio, a suspicious-looking schooner, which attempted to get away from the war vessel. She was pursued, overhauled and boarded. In command of her were Alfredo Laborde, Dr. Bedia and three newspaper correspondents. The Competitor, it appears, was from the Mosquito coast, where it is presumed she took on board the arms ad ammunition found on board of her. The latter con- sisted of 38,000 cartridges, a number of packages of dynamite, many cases of Mauser‘and Remington rifles and vases of acconterments, &c. The schooner arrived here this morning in tow of the Mensaxera. ‘The men found on board of her are held as prisoners. it appears that the expediton was an im- portant one. A number of the filibusters are said to have succeeded in jumping everboard and swimming ashore. Others, however, who jumped into the sea, were drowned. It also seems that the insurgent generel, Monzon, was a member of the ex- pedition. Lieut. Commander Boutron of the Mensa- gera will be rewarded by the government for his capture of the Competitor. ———— ION PACIFIC EARNINGS. UN The Report Shows a Largely Decreas- ed Deficit.

THE STAR does not falsify its circulation by foisting two copies of the paper upon one person, whether it is wanted or not, and then calling that per- son two subscribers, in order to make a showing with which to deceive advertisers.

Followipg the election of delegates sev- eral addresses were made, among the speakers Leving been Serator Thurston of Nebraske, who referred in eloquent terms to Major McKinley, and who was warmly applauded. Surprise et the Capito! The report that the Vermont convention had instructed today for McKinley was received with a great deal of surprise at the Capitol, and the ant!-McKinley men discredited it. The fact was called to attention that Vermont had never instruct- ed for any one, not_even when the state presented Senator Edmunds’ name as a candidate before the national convention, as an indication’ that the present report is not true. It was known, however, that there is a strong McKinley sentiment in Vermont, and that Senator Proctor attended the con” vention for the express purpose of prevent- ing instruetions, and that he was doubtful of the result of his efforts in that direction. —__.___ ALL HAVE ACCEPTED.
