The Greatest of State Conventions. Marked Difference Between Democratic Enthusiasm and Republican Apathy. And Now For Kansas City, Who's Go- ing?.—The Special Train Announcements. Other Political Note—The Great Duluth Freight Strike and Its Deep Signifi- cance—State and National Points of the Week, t Reform Press Buresn, St. Paul, June 25, 1900, By allodds the most imposing, en- thusiastic and effective Democratic state convention ever held in the his- tory of the state was that of last week at Minneapolis, announcing the state sentiment on national men and issues, and selecting the state’s representation to Kansas City. The convention—with Preconyention discussion and specula- tion and subsequent comment, which has been universal in approval of all the action taken—has almost com- pletely monopolized political interest of the w Features of the convention, aside from the large attendance, unbounded enthusiasm and absolute unanimity, may be briefly enumerated, beginning with the address of State Chairman L. A. Rosing, in the course of which, having covered national and state is- sues and the record of the state admin- istration, he paid well deserved compli- ments to his associates of the state cen- tral committee and the committeemen throughont the state, especially to Hon. {T. D. O’Brien, our popular national committeeman, and to Secretary T. R. Kane for his untiring labors. Mr. Ro- sing concluded with such a reference tc Mr. Towne as touched off the pent-up enthusiasm of the convention for our beloved son, and was the keynote of the ringing endorsement of Mr. Towne, brought in by the committee on resolu- tions. A distinct feature was Mr. Hudson’s caddress as temporary and permanent chairman, and the ability with which he conducted the convention. Other features were the speeches 01 the gentlemen called upon by the con: vention, including Mayor Gray of Min- neapolis, Mr. Kane and Governor Lind. ‘The latter’s was probably one of the shortest speeches on record and never- the-loss one of the most effective. Another feature was the unanimity with wich the delegation to Karszs City was selected, not a single ballot being required. Like unanimity was shown in action upon the platform adopted. It was significant that the recognition of Mr. Bryan and Mr. Towne was almost synonomous with the Sioux Falls resolutions, while the money plank is almost exactly the same as adopted by the Peoples party at that convention. Anda very significant feature was the enthusiastic response of the con- vention to every mention of Governor Lind or his administration. And speaking of the deep interest at- tending the convention, what a con- trast between the Democratic enthusi- asm and the Republican lack of it as to the Republican national convention. During the early days of the Philadel- phia-Hanna affair, there was no gather- ing at the bulletin boards in either St. Paul or Minneapolis. And there was no popular greeting in either place tc the nominees when announced. And now the question is, are you going to Kansas City? If not, why not: It is the duty of every son of the state to go who possibly can. Full particu- lars of the trip are obtainable from either Democratic or Silver Republican headquarters. Speaking of the convention trains, both will have bands and both will be decorated for Bryan and Towne ‘tc beat the band.” ‘Solid trains through for Bryan and Towne”’ they will be. The convention train roads, the Chi- «ago Great Western and the Minneapo- lis and St. Louis, will do their utmost to deserve the honor accorded them in their selection as official roads. The next and the last state political ‘events prior to the election will be the state nominating conventions for the Democrats and Peoples party, respec- tively. Both have been called for Sept. and there is every indication of unit- ing on one ticket. Speaking of combines, in the line of ‘those covered by the state convention’s ‘denunciation of the Hanna-Payne sab- sidy, there is a situation at Duluth not only distressing to home shipping in- terests, butof threatening danger tc veyery interest of Minnesota. This is the understood combine in control of lake rates. The matter seems carefully hidden by some at least of the daily press, who give meager reports tc events unless they are favorable to the combine. Thus the published reports are that trouble as to rates has again been patched up, whereas the existing ‘peace seems to be that the lion has the damb inside, instead of running along by its side. The following summary is made by a gentleman in a position ta know, almost officially, what is the real situation: “The present trouble,’’ says this gen- ‘tleman, “‘is tbe culmination of an old scheme. In the shipping season of 189 it was commonly talked that the small eraft was being forced off tie lake. There is now a strong combination, of which Rockefeller is at the head, which, while there was.a show of competition, forced the rates.down,so that the small craft couldn’t live. Having practically frozen them out, the rates are now so exorbitant that vessels have lain idle, for the reason that shippers couldn’t use them and keep from loss. The little ones are now practically out of the carrying business. This will also affect the independent mine own- ers and lumbermen, who will find that they cannot ship without prohibitive rates, while the firm at the head of the steamship combine practically controls the mining and lumber business, and so can afford to pay heavily out of one hand into the other. The combine now demands a freight rate that is larger than has been known before, and the days for cheap carrying rates on the lakes are over. This state of affairs is vitally interesting and dangerous to shippers tributary to Daluth.”’ Particulars concerning this situation will be awaited with deep interest, for it may reasonably be expected that this “murder will out.” And yet it will be a question, as Hanna would say, of «What are you going to do about it?” For those fellows who are seizing on the great waterway that God has pro- vided and Uncle Sam improved for use of all the people will say, like Hanna, “We know our business.” Speaking of other transportation in- terests, decreased railway earnings over last year, marked decreases, as well as in bavk clearings, are further gold- standard, Mark Hanua prosperity signs for June to this date. It actually worried the goppite Fair- mont News that Adjutant General Lambert turned out in military uni- form to welcome the Boers. Why, bless you, nothing more proper, con- sidering the fight the Boers put up against powerful England—a fight, by the way, they would never have had tc make had the McKinley administration been truly American. Tho American Federation of Labor raises its banner of unionism and will make the test fight under the leader- ship of President Gompers, taking the St. Louis cases as the foundation. If need be every city in the country will be involved. Since the St. Louis corpo- rations made that distinct issue, by its refusal to arbitrate the question of union rights, no other courss is’ left labor than to make the fight to the bit- terend. Already orders against going to cities affected by strikes are out for a dozen or more large places. President Gompers has an army of 2,000,000 in the unions to follow him, and he has the moral support of a large majority of the people of the land. ‘The New York World gives the list of trusts organized in the last two years of the McKinley administration. — It fills two columns of small type, footing hundreds of millions of dollars. They are more in number and amounts than were organized before in all the history of the country. Four more years of it under McKinley promotion, and where would the country be. The Repubdlican national committee xvould skin the Southern officeholders alive, they would, for interference with politics, and passed a resolution calling on McKinley to attend to it. Then Hanna quietly asked Payne to put the paper in his pocket, and hedid. That's the way they will do with trusts. The state railroad commission while investigating rate charges in the south- west, have found reason to investigate rates in general in the state, and such a hearing will be commenced June 26, of which all the ronds have been given due notice. Pad omens from the rep Hanna con- vention are too numerous to mention. But the most distrossing, after the ominous ‘‘thirteen” of the minute when Foraker spoke Little Mack’s name was Hanna’s entanglement with a fu neral procession on the way to the con- vention on the tatal morning. And they do say that the manufac: tured cheering of McKinley lasted thirteen minutes. Blaine’s in 1884 lasted three. times thirteen, and all know what happened to Blaine. The death’s head and crossbones, also, of Kentucky Taylor were conspicu. ous, not to mention Quay and other dead things. Altogether the goppite outlook is full of forebodings. And by way of correction of the state- ment elsewhere of no enthusiastic rat- ification in the Twin Cities, Minneapo- lis had one, with 100 Republicans tak- ing a 10-cent, gold-standard lunch, with ice water, which they called ‘ban. quit.’’ And speaking of conditions, gold con- tinues to go abroad, and Uncle Sam’s surplus now stands but a trifle above $65,000,000. Depew called Mr. Bryan a “body. snatcher.’’ He is right. He has the G. O. P. corpse in the vat. Even our esteemed “independent” Minneapolis Times discusses the ‘im probability’’ of confidential or other let- ters of W. J. Bryan having been “found” in Aguinaldo’s captured cor. respondence. Along about election time it will be natural for a good many things to be ‘‘found,”’ in this way. However, The Times seems rather tc discredit the story! Thanks to prompt action by Governo: Lind and Professor Lugger, state en- ‘tomologist, fears felt at the appearance ‘of grasshoppers in portions of the Red ‘River valley arediminishing. The gov- ‘ernor has increased the state allowanc fight the hoppers, and the late rains ‘in that region have assisted to stop the {threatened spread of the pests. G. 8. ©. ION. WILLIAM J. BRYAN.

Keynotes for Nation by Instruc- tions for Bryan and Towne and by Platform. No Uncertain Sound in North Star State---Mimnesota’s Delega- tion to Kansas City. It is an easy prediction that the Democratic convention of June 10, the first Democratic gun in the state for the national campaign of 1900 will long hold the record for enthusiasm, attendance, harmony, earnestness, and for its platform declaration as being the expression of the people them- selves. The Platform will prove as historic in a state way as the Chicago plat- form in a national way, with which the state document is closely in ac- cord in all essential particulars. In- astauch as it has not been printed in its entirety by any of the papers, it is published herewith for record and for information.

The Democrats of the state of Min- nesota, in convention assembled, re- affirm their belief in the great funda- mental doctrines of Democracy and in the principles of the national platform at Chicago in 1896 as a wise and au- thoritative statement of those doc- trines. INSTRUCTIONS FOR BRYAN. We recognize William Jennings Bryan as the leader of the political forces in this country opposed to the present drift of the government as con- trolled by selfish interests, and we de- clare our absolute confidence in his honesty, courage, ability and patriot- ism. We congratulate the country that his inflexible purpose and strict adherence to principle stand in such hopeful contrast to the vacillation, un- certainty, weakness and subservience to dictation by cruel and powerful in- fluences manifested by the present chief executive. We appreciate the splendid ability, brilliant attainments, broad states- manship, unselfish patriotism, great public services and personal sacrifices of that champion of human rights and ‘American liberty, Charles A. Towne; and in accordance with the spontan- eous and unanimous demand of the Democrats of Minnesota we instruct our delegates to the Democratic na- tional'convention to be held at Kansas City, to support by their votes and every honorable means for the nomi- nation to the presidency of the United States, William J. Bryan, and to the vice presidency Charles A. Towne. GOVERNOR LIND’S ADMINISTRA- TION. The wisdom of looking to the Demo- crats for the relief has been fully demonstrated in the splendid admin- istration of Gov. Lind, which was cor- dially indorsed and under whose cour- tant truth that governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed is as true today as when enunciated by the fathers of the re- public, and we here and now repledge ourselves to the time honored doctrine of a government “of” for and by the people.” ON IMPERIALISM AND MITITAR- ISM. We deprecate the present tendency of the Republican party toward the establishment of militarism in the United States and the transformation of this republic into an imperial sys- tem, forcing its authority upon un- willing people, and ruling subject na- tions against their consent. We de- clare that this nation cannot endure half free and half vassal; that the constitution of the United States must go wherever the flag of the republic is permanently planted, and it is our abiding conviction that the American people will never deliberately approve a surrender of the fundamental doc- trines of this government and the im- mortal principles of the Declaration of Independence. AS TO TRUSTS AND COMBINATIONS We demand the enforcement of ex- isting laws against trusts and combi- nations of capital for the arbitrary control of industry and trade, and the enactment of whatever additional leg- islation is necessary to insure the healthful play of competition in all branches of business. Believing that nearly every article upon which there is a traiff has gone into a trust, and the price thereof to the consumer has { been raised from 25 to over 100 per ‘cent, we demand that all articles in the United States which are controlled | by a trust shall be put upon the free | list. NATIONAL MONEY PLANK. We believe in the principle of bi- metalism, and we demand the reopen- ing of the mints of the United States to the unrestricted coinage of both silver and gold at the existing legal ratio withcut charge; the immediate increase in the volume of silver coin and silver certificates so issued to be substituted dollar for dollar for the bank notes issued by private corpora- tions under the special privileges granted by the law of March 14, 1900, and prior national banking laws, the remaining portion of the bank notes to bo replaced yith a paper currency is sue by the gov.;a:Zént Itself, the vol- ume thereof to be so controlled, under rules laid down by congress as to maintain at all times a stable money market and a stable price level; all forms of money and currency to be kept on a parity, and all gold and sil- ver coins and certificates and govern- ment currency to be a lawful tender for all debts public and private, except where otherwise specified in existing contracts, it being made unlawful thenceforth to contract for the pay- ment of any special form of money. SYMPATHY FOR THE SOUTH, AF- RICANS. We sympathize, as heretofore the American people have always done throughout our history, with the ef- forts of nations fighting for the right of self government, and we extend our sincere sympathy to those unfortunate republics of South Africa that for the past several months have been, with a heroism unsurpassed in the annals of the world, opposing the love of liberty to the lust of conquest and sustaining the cause of republican government against the greed of an empire which, as at present controlled, is restrained by no consideration of right or justice. If freedom must find a grave in South Africa it is our earnest hope and pray- er that it may have a re-birth in the United States of America. MUST KEEP FAITH WITH CUBA. We demand the honest performance by this government of its promise, now more than two years old, to the people of Cuba that they should be given independence and self govern- ment when we should have expelled the Spanish power and have pacified that island. REPEAL OF WAR TAXES. ! We demand the repeal of the socall- jed war taxes as being vexatious to the iconduct of business, oppressive upon j many industries and productive of more money than is needed for the economical conduct of the govern- ment, thus constituting an encourage- ment to extravagance and corruption. POSTAL SAVING BANKS. We favor the passage of laws that ageous policy we have seen the corpo-| will give to the people of the United rations made to stand their share of the; States a postal savings bank, where burden of taxation, while a new freight; savings can be deposited with safety schedule, recently secured, has made a saving to the farmers of the West and Southwest, of from one to three cents on a bushel of grain. FOR THE DECLARATION OF INDE- PENDENCE. We believe that the principies of the and “where the funds deposited will not be used against the will of the wage-earning depositors. TAX ON INCOMES. We favor the passage of a law for the graduated taxation of incomes, and a constitutional amendment for Declaration of Independence lie at the | that purpose if necessary. very foundation of this government, ELECTION and that, as our history progresses instead of endeavoring to curtail the operation and meaning of that great OF UNITED STATES SENATORS. We demand the election of United States senators by direct vote of the charter of human liberties, it should be | People. the constant ambition of the govern-| REFERENDUM AND PUBLIC OWN- Heads oon the people to approximate and nearer to a complete reali- zation of that -high> ideal. The’ impor. t ERSHIP. We favor the extension of the prin- ciples of the initiative and referendum and of the public ownership of natural, monopolies. { THE MONROE DOCTRINE. ! We re-affirm our allegiance to the Monroe doctrine, and insist upon its application to present conditions. HANNA-PAYNE SUBSIDY. We denounce the manifest intent of the Republican party to force the pas- sage of the Hanna-Payne Subsidy bill as a party measure, should the Re- publican party prevail at this election. CIVIL SERVICE REFORM. ‘We condemn the Republican admin- istration for its injury to the cause of Civil Service Reform, by removing a large number of appointive offices from under the operation of its Civil Service law. ARRAIGNMENT OF M’KINLEY AD- MINISTRATION. 1 We denounce the present adminis- tration as one whose inconsistencies, abuses of power, betrayals of American principles and scandalous misgovern- ment have rightfully forfeited the trust and confidence of the American people. We denounce it for betraying the cause of international bimetalism, which in its platform of 1896 it som- emnly promised to promote; for its open and notorious partnership with trusts and combines, as manifested by refusals upon the part of the attorney general and his subordinates to en- force existing laws, and the failure, with a majority in both houses of con- zress for the past two years, to enact any further legislation in this direc- tion; for its breach of faith to the people of Cuba; for its cold indiffer- ence in the presence of the unprovok- ed onslaught of the existing British Government upon the liberties of the Transvaal and the Orange Free State; for its open co-operation, if not indeed actual alliance with the British Em- pire; for its change of a war for the liberation of Cuba into a war for the conquest and subjugation of the Phil- ippine islands; for its practice of “criminal aggression” under the hypo- critical pretense of ‘benevolent assim- ilation;” for its broken promises ta Porto Rico, which the government welcomed to all the privileges and im- munities of the United States, but which the administration has loaded with burdens and the ignominy of a vassal; for the shameful scandals in the conduct of the war with Spain and in the subsequent maladministration of the islands acquired in that war, as shown by the investigations under which Gen. Egan was dismissed; by the disbursements of vast sums of money in army and naval contracts through favoritism and collusion; and by the postal and revenue frauds in those islands which are today afford- ing the People of the United States an object lesson of what irresponsible and despotic government means when mistakenly attempted under republican institutions; and for unparalleled ex- travagance in the conduct of the gov- ernment whereby the appropriations for the fiscal year 1901, without count- ing the $131,000,000 credited to the “war with Spain,” which was conclud- ed nearly a year and a half ago, amounted to $50,000,000 in excess of our expenditures during the fiscal year 1898, before the Spanish war broke out, and without, also, considering the many millions which everybody knows must next year be appropriated to sup- ply a certain deficit created by the cowardice of the administration in not extravagance, + RES: MINNESQTA DELEGATION TO KAN- _- SAS CITY CONVENTION.
