SESSION CONTINUED|LABOR MEN MEE Violent Opposition of Delaware Demoorats to Free Speech. Mr. Ralston’s Efforts in Behalf of Arzested Men Nearly Result in His Being Sent to Jail. Mr. Jackson H. Ralsten returned to Wash- ington this morning from Dover, Del., ‘where he went day before yesterday to render legal assistance to the single taxers who have been put in jail there. Mr. Ral- ston says there are seventeen single tax advocates in jail now. One mag, Frederick -W. Moore, manager of the Washington Law Journal, was prostrated with typhoid fever while in jail, was pardoned out and is now in the hospital at Wilmington. “I could have got myself in jail in short order last night,” said Mr. Ralston. “Two of our men were arrested last night about 7 o'clock for trying to speak on the single tax theory. I offered myself as attorney for one of them, Mr. Allbright, when he was called for trial, before Alderman Cooper: My offer was refused on the ground that I had not been admitted to the bar in Delaware, and the offer to furnish an introduction by an eminent member of the Delaware bar wes also rejected. A Despotic Little Judge. “All I could do, therefore, was ‘o sit by Albright and suggest to him what ques- tions to ask in his own behalf. He first, asked what the charge was against him. He was told it was obstructing the streets. When Allbright said that the charge made by the policemarr who made the arrest was the offense of standing on a box and trying to speak to a crowd,* the alderman told him that he was not compelled to tell nim what the charge against him was, ani that when he fined him and committed him to jail it would be time enough for him to krow what the charge was. Allbright was sentenced to jail for thirty days. 1 was told to shut up and get out of the room. It was clear that-a word from me would have resulted in my going to jail for con- tempt. “The peculiar thing in the situation is that there is no appeal from this queer tribunal, and no jury trial or change of venue. The Dover alderman is not a mem- ber ef a city council, as in other cities, but a judicial officer, whose duty it ig to try petty offenses against the city. Selling Their Labor. “In an official advertisement william M. Dickerson, clerk of. the peace for Kent county, has asked for, proposals for. the services of the tramps and sfhgle taxers who persist in violating the laws of the state. All bids for the services of these men are to be in the hands of the clerk on or before 12 o'clock on Tuesday, the lith day of August, 1896. As the offense was one against the city, and the commitment by a city judge, it is not exactly clear what right the county has to sell the labor of these men. That is another peculiarity of official procedure in Delaware. There seems no way to get at the matter unless by habeas corpus proceedings. With Mr. James L. Wolcott of the Dover bar I made application before Chancellor Nicholson for a writ of habeas corps in order to get the single tax prisoners out on bail. Thé chancellor will hear the argument on the application Saturday, but the men were denied bail. Why There is Opposition. “The violent opposition to a discussion of the single tax question in Delaware comes from the,democrats, whose ranks are los- ing numbers continually as the discussion gees on. The respectabie element is dis- posed to show fair play, and we hope to have a hearing sooner or later. At the same" time the rough element is becoming n.cre bold In its violence, and threatens to break out in riotous force on the single tax ‘men. Of course, we do not want our men to risk their lives. violence Feared. “Yet we shall try to be heard, and we shall endeavor to be protected. We hope some definite help may come’ from the habeas corpus proceedings Saturday. The éause is gaining numbers in consequence of the treatment shown it. Last Saturday night we had a meeting at Dover, attended by a thousand people. A member of the city council got a permit for a parade with tin horns, and a lot of boys tried to break up the single tax meeting with their din, but our people took the horns away from them and went on with the speeches. The opposition is bitter, and it is not unlflely that it will result, sooner or later, in a serious outbreak. : =e SOBER, SECOND THOUGHT. eae © Mr. Parker Analyzes the Condition of the Campaign. a From the Springfield (Mass.) Union, August 3. Colonel Myron M. Parker of Washing- ton, D. C., member of the republican na- tional committee from the District of Co- limbia, spent Sunday in-the city, and will teday go to Vermont, where his family is stopping. He expects to be in Rutland on August 7, when the campaign will be for- mally opened in Vermont with a roysing rally. Colonel Parker, who was one of the Com- missioners of the District of Columbia, re- ceiving his appointment from President Harrison, is enthusiastic over the prospects of a republican. victory this ‘fall. “I be- lieve,” he said, “that Bryan will be defeat- ed worse than Greeley was. There is a good deal of silver talk now and the free silver mn are making a good deal of noise, but one populist will always make more noise than a dozen republicans. “As the people get down to sober thought on tMe financial question, there will be less of the free-silver sentiment. The working- men will realize that while they may get more money, they will have to work two days to purchase what they now can with one day’s work. “Mr. Hanna is going to make an Ideal chairman of the committee. He is a man whom any ong can reach, and he is always ready to see any one and to listen to ad- vice and suggestions from all. He is the best listemer I ever knew; he has good judgment and will make a hustling cam- paign. a “Mr. Bryan cannot be elected, even if they put up a third ticket, for the demo- crats who would vote for the ticket would not vote at all if it were not put up. Those who would vote for McKinley will vote for him anyway, for they will realize that-by voting for the third tickét they will only throw their votes away. The Australian ballot will help the republican party this year, for d2mocrats can vote as they please without any one knowing how they vote. “Illinois will go for Tanner. He is going to make a great fight, and he will help to carry the state for McKinley.-He knows the state from one end, to the other, and is familiar with every district in it.”” In regard to California, Colonel Parker said that he had not a doubt of its going for McKinley. Washington, too, he is sat- isfied will go for the republican candidate. He bases his opinion on letters received from Senators and Congressmen in those states. . = The fighting will not all be on the finan- cial planks, for the tariff must enter into the contest. The country must have a tar- iff which will provide ample revenue, and the home market must be secured for the Americans. This will become apparent as the campaign goes forward. —_-—___ Mother Follows Son to the Grave. Representative L. F.

As he was coming down a flight of steps from the second to the first floor he turned too quickly around a corner, and being weak, lost his balance and fell.
