W PARKIER Clerk of the Supreme ( T. . NORTH Bupreme Court Reporter.........J. J. SHEA DES MOINES, Aug. 1.—The democratic state convention assembled at Calvary tab- ernacle today at 10:30. About 400 delegates were in attendance. Caucuses were held at 9 o'clock and the usual committeemen se- Jected. No candidates opencd headquarters and In this case the office seeks the man. J. M. Parsons, temporary chairman, deliv- ered an address, saying Coxeylsm Me- Kineylsm carrled to a logical conclusion. After the speech the caucus reported. The convention then adjourned for dinner. On reconvening, Governor Boles was chos:n permanent chairman of the conven- tion, and delivered his address. NO MIDDLE GROUND POSSIBLE. After reviewing the conditions leading up to the victory of 1892 and arraigning the re- publican party for the policy it pursed while in powe overnor Boles continued “That victory was not won without definite and oft-repeated promises by those who claimed to speak for the party as to what would be done If party success crownel our efforts. If democracy would live; if it would not now in the first flush of its vic- tory so gallantly won, lay down its arms surrender all for which it fought and pre- pare its winding sheet for the tomb, it must not lower the standard of the promises made. “There is now no middle ground on which it can cast an anchor. Protection if right in one instance is right in all. He who Is willing that his party as such shall retrace a single step from the position It assumed in 1892, who would surrender an iota of the principle for which he then fought and won, is not a democrat. “I have too much faith in the intelligence of the electors of this republic, in the sober second thought of the piain pecple of this nation, to believe they can long be misled in placing the responsibilitis for the disas- ters Trey are suffering where it belongs. ‘We are standing at the end of more than three decades of a most Intense protective policy on the part of the government. Aud what is the result? “Trusts and combines on every hand; the frults of labor taken from the many and given tu the few; millionaires counted by the thousands; homeless men by millions; rumblings of discontent from every quarter, but loudest and longest in the very centers of the most highly protected industries of the land; strikes and lockouts everywhere; armies of idle men gathering in our cities and marching over the country, vaunting their destitution in the face of the world, with here and there the howl of the anarchist, the kuife of the assassin and the brand of the incendiary emphasizing with fire and blood a discontent that has become almost epidemic and threatens the stability of the government Itself until the last resort of a nation, an appeal to the militia for protec- tion has become a public necessity. * CRIMINATION MUST CEASE. “It weuld be a cowardly evasion of truth to attempt to conceal the fact thit the demo- cratic party has reached a crisis in its his- tory that threatens its very life. Within the party councils I want the voice of crmi- nation and recrimination hushed at once and I want the democratic members in congress to agree upon the very best measure of tarift reform it is possible to pass and make it the law of the land without further delay. It it does not come up to the requirement of that pledge as I read it I will not lay down my arms. I will help to keep the wheels of reform in motion until all that has been promised s faithfully performed. This is my view of the duty of democrats in this crisis both in and out of congress. “By an exolicit resolution in its last na- tional platform the democratic party is com- mitted to ‘the use of both gold and silver as the standard money cf the country,’ and to the colnage of both without discrimina- tion against either,’ but It Is expressly de- clared that ‘the dollar unit of both metals must be of equal Intrinsic and Interchange- able value through international ugreement or such safeguards of leglslation as w.ll Insure the parity of the two metals. T my own mind the unqualified language of that plank requires aflirmative action on the part of the representatives of the party by which It was adopted. ““There is another subject which I am glad to say Is not a political lssue, but with many of the great partes of the country of grave importance to the welfare of the country. I refer, as you will surmise, to the un- precedented troubles In labor circles during the last few months. I know, too, that every one of these men who Is an adult citizen of the United States is clothed with precisely the same power under the con- stitutions of the states and the nation to help mold and cause to be executed the laws of the land that is possessed by the haughtiest millionaire that ever casta vote, and I belleve as firmly as I believe in my istence that If thelr organizations are to be preserved an continue to be a practi benefit to their members they must see that they neither violate the law themselves nor Instigate or abet others to do so. With every local citizen of the land who is a friend of its laborers I have been shocked at the flagrant breaches of law that have characterized %0 many of the recent labor strikes of the eountry. I am still more amazed to know that within the circles of some of these unions are men who yet con- demn the authorities, both state and na- tional, for interposing the military arm of each to put an end to conditions that had reached a completed stage of anarchy and overthrowa In some localities every sem- blanco of law and order. If these men are not bereft of reason they must by this time realize that a strike as conducted in many places in the past Is revolution, Is anarchy, Is the Inciplent stage of clvil war. SYMPATHETIC STRIKE MUST GO. “It 1s vain to assert that the scenes of rlots, incondiarism and bloodshed we have witnessed s not the work of members of any of the unions, but Instead Is that of the law- less elements of the cities in which they have occurred. If this Is literally true it cannot relleve the unfons in question of the responsibility for conditions that thelr own acts made possible, and which without such acts would never have existed. “Thare Is another phase of this question of lmmeasurable importance to individuals. It Is the question of the Inherent right or wrong of what some leaders term a sympa- thetie strike, and which was forcibly pre sented in the Pullman strike. The sym- pathetic strike must go or the unions that engage in it will be destroyed, and with it must go forever the scenes of riot und car- nage that have characterized so many re- cent strikes, or the organizations responsi- ble for them will bo ground into dust under the heel of an awakened public sentiment." The speaker then devoted his attention to state Issues, charging the republican party with misrule and extravagance, and particularly condemning 1t for its liquor legislation which he denounced as disgrace- ful and ridiculous. He advocated the es- tablishments of county insane asylums, after the plan adopted in Wisconsin and declared that the republican party’s methods of hand- ng state institutions were wildly extrava- gant. In conclusion he said: “It is at least the duty of the democratic "OMAHA, THURSDAY MORNENG, AUGUST 2‘ 1 894, SINGLE party to continue to labor for better govern- ment in state and nations alike; to be true to itself; true to its principles and loyal to ulist candidates for lleutenant governor, at- Its best Interests, the highest possible good torney general and Stevens and Cameron for of the people of whom it forms so conspicu- railway commissloners,” and nominated the ous a part Republican State Convention at Casper To- | following independent candidates: 8. 8.
