Mr, C.J. Smyth Explains the Significance of this Action of the Democrats. Mr. J. Smyth, who handed to The Bee the above call for publication, was asked to state what the object of the conference was, whether It meant separation from the demo- cratic party or action within the party. To this he replied follows: “It means this: Mr. McShane was elected once and Mr. Bryan twice to congress upon platforms declaring in favor of free silver. James E. Boyd became governor of the state upon a free silver platform. The last state convention, without any previous discussion of the question, repudiated the position of the party in those campalgns which brought it victory, and forced it to take a stand and conduct a political contest on a platform pronouncing in favor of monometallism, the | single gold standard On that platform Frank Irvine was nominated for supreme judge. A cleaner, abler lawyer could not have been selected. He was, too, personally | very popular. Years of service on the bench had proved to the satisfaction of all his eminent qualifications. It seemed that the fates decreed his selection that there might be no question as to why the party was not only defeated, but routed. No per- son ever thought that a stronger man than Irvine could have been named. Yet, stand- ing upon a platform which pledged the party to & gold standard, he polled but 37,000 votes against 71,000 cast for Boyd standing on a free silver platform. Why this difference? The answer is plain and does not need to Lo stated. It is true also that of the 37,000 who voted for Irvine there were thousands who, while condemning the financial plank of the platform, voted for him because of their loyalty to the party and his personal fitness, “All these things demonstrate that the democratic party In the state s in favor { the free colnage of silver and has no pationce with those who seek to commit it to the viclous principle of monomotal- lism; that it was misrepresented, and grossly w0, at the last state convention, and if treated in the same way at the next con- vention, it will refuse to contribute to the aupport’ of the standard forced into fits hnands a number sufficient to constitute a pectable funeral _procession . for the dofeated candidates. Those in the party who have been watching the current of events vealize this to the fullest extent, and hence they have asked themsclves the question, s there nothing to be done to save the party from destruction at the hands of those who pretend to be its friends and spokesmen? The free silver men know that the machin- ery of the party is in the hands of those who would strike silver down. They know, too, that the free silyer forces within the party, although greatly outnumbering the others, are not organized, To arouse, solid- ify and discipline those forces is the object of the conference summoned by the call, to the end that all who are now in the party may be retained and that all those who have left it, or who sympathize with its doctrines, no matter to what party they now belong, may be induced to take their position under the standard of true democracy. “All the signers of this call are demo- crats. With Jefferson, they believe that the unit of value should rest on both me als, gold and silver. This, they afirm, has been the doctrine of the party through every step of its existence down to 1873, and this doctrine has always had the support of the democratic party as represented in both houses of congress. Even in the last memor- able fight, a majority of the democrats in ch house swung into line under the ban- r of free coinage of silver. Proud of its history on all questions affecting the wel- fare of the people, they refuse to permit, without a struggle, the dear old name of democracy to be polluted by association with a financial principle ruinous to the wellfare of the people, particularly of the people of this great ‘west. They endorse the Atlanta Constitution in its controversy with Judge Hines, a leading old- (ime democrat ~ of - the state of Georgla who left the party to become a populist, that the place to fight for demo- cratic principles is in the democratic party. It is upon this principle we are acting and it s upon this principle we expect the con- ference to proceed. If the party's conven- tions have declared on democratic princi- ples, it is because the rank and file have been indifferent when they should have been active. The great brain and heart of the people are right. Let its organs of speech i not falsify its thought and sentiment. ““We have no personal fight to make on any one, besides none will be made. For a long time the party in this stat: has frit- tered away its best strength in fightin within itself for the gratification of Ingxllv‘ldE uals. Henceforth we hope to see these an- clent and profitless feuds buried. Hence- forth let principle and not personal spite command our forces.” (o MANEY COURT MARTIAL BEGUN. Slayer of Captaln Hedburg on Trial at Fort Snelling. ST. PAUL, May 23.—The courtmartial of Lieutenant Maney on charges growing out of the fatal shooting of Captain Hed- berg at Fort Sheridan, Chicago, began at Fort Snelling today. Colonel E. C. Mason, commanding at Fort Snelling, is president of the court, which Is made up of twelve of the best known army officers of high rank, all of whom arrived last night and were on hand today promptly when court convened. The scene in the court was a notable one. The members in full dress uniforms made a most Imposing appearance. The place of trial, Fort Snelling, is famous in north- western history as military headquarters and the center around which early ploneer lite gathered. Almost within sound of Minnehaha's waters the strength of the fort reminds of sterner times when the war whoop and.the deadly rifle shot were familiar sounds. Proceedings began by the reading of the order of Secretary of War Lamont convening the court. Then Licutenant Col- onel Barr as judge advocate read the charges and the accused was called upon to plead. The court was not apprised of the nature of the charges until Colonel Barr read them on opening court. The accused knew them, for the military law requires that when the charges are formulated a copy must be served upon him. There were several charges, all being summed up in the general charge of conduct prejudicial to discipline. | The question of whether the acquittal by the clvil court was a bar to this courtmar- tial was taken up, Frank P. Blair, attorney for Lieutenant Maney, arguing in favor of that construction. Captain George A. Cornish, Fifteenth United States Infantry, reported today to tho president of the general court martial. | These two officers are fmportant witnesses in_tho case. The court adjourned after halt an hour's session this afternoon, Attorney Blair not yet having finished his arguments. The specific charges against Lieutenant Maney are offerlng violence to a superior officer and subversion of military discipline, in that he did assault Captain Hedberg and inflict Injuries from which he died. Attorney Blair argued at length in support of his motion to strike out everything in connection with the case of the killing of Captain Hedberg, Insisting that a person could not be put in jeopardy elther of life or honor twice for the same offense. He was not through with his argument when the court took a recess for lunch, and the argument for both sides in motion will prob- ably occupy the entire day. AMUNEMENTS, There was a noticeable Increase in the > of last night's audienco at Boyd's, and | per consequence, “Fra Diavolo,” Auber's | romantic and dramatic opera was given with even greater success by the Carlelon Opera | company than the “Queen’s Lace Hand- | kerchief.” The audience was cnthusiasti and principals and chorus, under the | kindly Influences, sang with spirit and with | fine appreciation of tho many possibilitios the opera glves for strong concerted and | solo work. - - Woman Grapples with & Burglar. At 1 o'clock yesterday morning Mrs. G. M. Brown, 2217 Capitol avenue, was awak- ened by a lght in her room, and found a burglar there. He had attempted to chloro. form her. She ) ng from the bed and grappled with him, but he jumped from the windaw and escaped. Ho took nothing.

Mrs. Millar left homo to visit a neighbor, leaving her three children, Tom, aged 3, Agnes, aged 4 ,and Mary, aged 1, In the house. She also left a good, hot fire, and she had no more than left the house till she was re- called by the screams of her children, and going back saw her daughter, Mary, in flames, After the flames had been extin- guished she found that the child had been burned badly about the legs and face. Dr. Wilson was called and did all he could, but the child died in six hours. The boy says that after their mother left they began playing with the fire and poked a stick into the stove. This became fgnated, and in fun they poked it at their little sister. Her clothes caught fire as a result. Mrs. Millar is in a serious condition as a result of the shock she received. Mr. Millar is a teamster. L Chancellor Canfleld of the Nebraska State university was in the city yesterday and called upon Superintendent Fitzpatrick. Millar, .
