MALEDIC TIONS FOR THE 6. O. Leading Democratic Orators Make Vitriolic Attacks on the Republican Elephant HARMONY BANQUET IN BALTIMO Gaunt Specter of the Tariff Present at Afternoon Mass Meeting and at the Evening’s Bountiful Feast—No Presidential Bcom Launched—The “New National- ism Means Treason, Baltimore, Md., Jan. 17.—The gaunt specter of the tariff, with all the vi- cissitudes it brings from without and within a political party, stalked boldly rough the Jackson day gathering of It the democrats in this city toda. made its presence felt at the mass meeting at the Lyric in the afternoon, and it would not down at the boun- tiful feast which was spread at the Fifth regiment armory. But the issue was fairly met by all 1he speakers. Some frankly acknowl- cdged that thero would be differences of opinion among the democrats on this subject, as there had been among the republicans. All Pounced Upon the Tariff. Senator Bailey, for instance, while declaring that harmony af action must e the watchword of the democracy if s to malntain the advantage won at the last election, took direct issue with those democrats who favor piecemeal revision of the tariff. Champ Clark of Missour], speaker to be of the house of representatives, had just announced that the sentiment among democrats in the .house scemed to favor piece- waeal revision—schedule by schedule, it possible, but item by item, if nec- essary. And the most obnoxious sirst,” exclaimed Mr. Clark. As betwe rotten app in ed Senator Bailey, “there is no choice. ery schedule in the Payne-Aldrich law is bad.” G@overnor Harmon of Ohio, one of the most prominent figures in the day's gathering, also pounced upon the tariff, as did practically every one of the long list of speakers at the mass meeting and banquet. No Presidential Boom. The day passed, as the democralic leaders wished It might, without an mtterapt from any quarter to launch a toom for the presidential nomination in 1912, Senator* Bailey, while lock- $ng horns with Champ Clark on the method of revising the tarifl, paid the demogratic Jeader of the house the tribute of piacing him iu the presi- dential class. Chased the Republican Elephant. And while they were not discussing the tariff with serious mien and hum- bie spirit, the demoeratic leaders were calling out shouts of laughter and rounds of applause by their witty and at times vitriolic attacks on the grand old party. Astride donkeys sampant, they chased the republican elephant through the halls of congress, through the corridors of the White house and through the lobbles of the &tate cap- ftols. And at the end of the hunt the democrats spitted choice cuts from the poor old elephant’s quivering car- cass upon the javelins of political or- tory. The whole breed of elephants, it was announced, would be exterminated in 1912, “We are mot going 1o elect a pres- ident in that year,” shouted Champ Clark, “but we are going to elect five or six of them hand-running.” The New Nationalism. Theodors Roosevelt came in for @ large share of the maledictions hurl- ed at the republican party. Former Senator J. C. 8. Blackburn of Ken- tucky claimed the privilege at the afternoon mass meeting of dealing with the ecolomel. He declared that the “new nmationallsm” enunciated by (olonal Roosevelt, wes filled with trea- won “deeper and darker” than any charged against the south from ‘61 to *65. Senator Bailey declared that demo- crats wers all of accord as to the necessity and extent to which the tar- 4ff should be revised and the principle srhich would underlle that revision. In rapping “new nationalism,” S stor Blackburn insisted that the thr co-ordinate branches of government items Deep and Dark.”, should be kept separate and distinct and that there should be no encroach- ment one upon another. He said that the constitution clearly defines the functions of the legislative, judicial, and executive branches, and that the executive should be kept to the du- ties imposed upon him; theee should be permitted to do “nothing else.” Said Mr. Blackburn: “We want no new nationalism.” He said that this jssue had been thrust upon the coun- try by the “biggest, boldest and ablest leader of his party,” but that in spite of its exalted origin. “it-means mor than political revolution—it mean: treason—treason deeper and darker than was ever attributed to the south from 1861 to 1865, SAT THREE AND A HALF HOURS AT THE ELABORATE FEAST. By 10.30 the Crowd of Eleven Hundred Diners Was Not Easy to Handle Baltimore, Md., Jau. 17.—The dem- ocratic celebration came to a joyous close with the banquet held in_the Fifth regiment armory tonight. More than 1,100 diners sat abou the scores of tables arranged in gridiron fashion All of the prominent democratic lead- o were present at the afternoon necting, augmented by a train of national legislators from Washington, attended the banquet, which was one of the largest and most claby feasts ever held in Balti- more. .

The armory had been tran: formed into an enormous garden of potten plants and flowers. The banquet began soon after T o'clock and it was 10.30 before an at- tempt was made to secure order. The immense crowd of diners by this time was not an easy one to handle. Im- promptu celebrations were in progress @t many of the tables, and improvised orators were holding sway to cheering coterries of enthusiasts gathered about them. | Finally Toastmaster Ferdinand Wil- liams of Cumberland began his open- ing address, despite the erder. Too Full for Utterance. When former Senator Blackburn,ths first speaker, mounted the table this | action was taken as a sign that he | had been introduced. He also exhibit- ed gestures which aroused applause, but his usval eloquence failed utterly to still the crowd. Occasionally the words ‘“democratic party” coul be caught above the din, and these were all the audience needed as a signal for renewed outbursts. Champ Clark was asked to speak, but said he was unwilling to burst his throat talking against such a throng. Major James C. Hemphill of Rich- mond, Va., who was to speak on “The Democratic Press,” said he was afraid to_undertake it. | 1t was generally reported tonig! | that the outcome of today's celebra- | tion wonld he that Baltimore may malke i bid for the democratic conven- tion of 1912 In sperad exuberance enthus MRS, EDDY’'S WILL ALLOWED IN CONCORD PROBATE COURT.

BANK’S DOORS CLOSED AFTER 44 YEARS' EXISTENCE. Scene of the Mysterious Barron Trag- ey of 1878 Recalleds Dexter, Me., Jan. 17.—After an ex- istence of 44 years, the Dexter Sav- ings bank, tie scens of the mysteri- ous Barron tragedy of 1878, closed its doors today, owing about $400,000. The institution was closed by State Bank Commissioner William B. Skel- ton, following an extended run on the bank by mill operatives, who became alarmed over reports regarding its stability. The depositors were partic- uiarly timid, as a number of them had accounts of the Dexter branch of the Waterville Trust company when ot €ailed two years ago. The assets are listed at $429,272. In a statement is- sued today, President Arthur P. Ab- bott said that the institution was in better condition than at any time dur- ing) the past eighteen years. He said there was absolutely no suspicion of mismanagement, but that the depos- itors would lose their interest for an indefinite period. For years the name of the Dexter Savings benk was familiar to new papar readers of the country. On Feb- ruary 22, 1878, John W. Barron was found dead in the vault. His scalp was bruised, a gag_was bound over his lips and he was bandcuffed, while a rope was loosely tied about his neck.

Not in- “tending to kill the cashier, they were alarmed when they realized that he vault. Stain’s account of the confes- sion was corroborated by an ex-con- viet, who died some years ago. David L.

Resolution Presented on Appeéint- ment .of Joint Standing Committees. (Special to The Bulletin.) Hartford, Jan. 17.—Lieut.-Governor Blakeslea called the senate to order at 11.15. Prayer by Chaplain Sexton, Among the matters of special interest during the session were the follow- ing: Congressional Districts. Senator Spellacy presented the fol- lowing resolution: “That rule second of the joint rules of the senate and house ©f reprosentatives be_ amended by adding at the end thereof the words ‘and excepd the committee on congressional and senatorial districts, which_shall consist of ‘thres senators and nine representatives,’ 20 that said ]ruxe as amendod shall read as fol- ks “On or before the third day of every stated session of the general assem- bly there shall be appointed thirty-five joint standing committees, each of which shall consist of two senators and nine representatives, except the com- mittes o/ .engrossed bills, which shall consist of two senators and two rep- resentatives, one from the minority in each, and except the committes on congressional and senatorial districts, which shall consist of three senators and nine representatives. Renator Fenn moved that the reso- lution be referred to the committee on_joint rules. Senator Spellacy said the question of submitting the resolution to the committee on rules is a technical one. There is a fuli attendance of senators today, there being thirty-five in- their seats. - It is not necewsary to refer it to_a committee for consideration. Senator Donovan complained of the make-up of the committees and re- ferred particularly to the mistake of aving Senator Fost, who is a physiclan, on the committee on publi health and safety instead of sale of lands. The vote on the motion to refer the resolution to the joint committee on rules wag carried by a Vote of 18 to 17. The resolution was referred to the committee on rules. Senator Woodruff, the president pro tem., stated that a committee of the minority had waited on him and given him a list of twelve democratic sena- tors for positions on the committees. The senator from the Twenty-seventh (Dr. Foster) was mnamed in the list for the sale of lands. Furthermore, it was intimated to him by a townsman of the senator that the senator de- sired the ~ommittee on sale of lands. Two-thirds or more of the requests of the novan rose Yo mi xplanation.

Parls, Jan. 17—A mudman_sitting among the spectators in the gallery of the chamber of deputies today sud- denly drew a revolver and fired two shots at Premier Briand. The premier escaped injury, but Leon Mirman, di- rector of public rellef, received one of the bullets in- the leg. - The greatest commotion ensued among the deputies. while several spectators sprang upon the madman, who still had the revolver in his hand. They bore him down and several of the ‘deputies, running into the gallery, struck at him. Then it was discovered by police who came to his rescue that the man was A. Gisolme, a well known individual, who had once made an un- successful attempt upon the life of the English consul at San Sebastian and had been incarcerated in an asylum for the insane. Amid all the uproar M. Briand main- tained his equipoise, apparently having become quite accustomed to being made the object of attack. GOV.
