PRSI 02 Special Dispatch to The Call. CHICAGO, June 28.—What the finan- cial plank in the Democratic platform shall be is a question which is giving trouble to conservative leaders, who desire a declaration which will serve to how the business interests of its worst heresies. There will be a very strong element at St. Louis demanding that the conv~ntion not only refuse to ratify the (lacago and Kansas City platforms, bu. .aat it shall directly re- pudiate the Bryan money plank and declare for the gold standard. Bryan is going to the convention with many fights on his hands, and one of | them will be to st upon a reaffirm- ation of the Chicago and Kansas City planks. The sentiment of the party is whelmingly nst On his return from E he gave an interview in which he said that he wanted the national convention to de- clare for the free coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1. Instantly a pro- test went up from Democrats of every State in the Union. The Call made a poll of Democratic membe: n Congress and in the entire membership only a half-dozen men said they were in favor of a reaffirmation of the Chicago and Kansas City plat- forms. More than 100 Democrats de- clared it would be party suicide for the tional platform to reassert the posi- tion of 1896 and 1900. Senators Teller of Colorado, Tillman of South Carolina, Dubois of Idaho, Carmack of Tennes- see and other loyal supporters of Bry- an in his two unsuccessful campaigns all said the time for going into ancient history was past and that the platform should declare for new things. 1 find a growing feeling in the West that the party must go farther than that in its platform.

CHICAGO, June 28.—John Bailey | | Tyler of Chicago is dead at the Alex- | fan Brothers' Hospital after an iliness of several weeks. Tyler, it is thought, was the youngest soldier in the Con- federate army who served through- out the war other than in the position of deummer boy. He enlisted when he was 12 years old as a cavalry man, serving throughout the war in Troop D of the First Maryland Confederate Cavalry. Tyler was born in Frederick, Ma., in 1849. —_— Composer of “Dixie” Is Dead.

Woolley of Chicago and dated from Washington City, June 20, which was made public to-day, is believed by National Chairman Stewart and others to eliminate General Miles from consideration as a Presidential candi- date. A manifesto was issued to-day by those who are insisting that General Miles make a declaration bf his position | before being offered the nomination for President. Among those who signed this manifesto were National Chairman Oliver W. Stewart, National Secretary James A. Tate, J. F. Butler of Cali- fornia, A. B. Laynton of Oakland, Cal.; J. B. Cranfill of Texas and G. W. Cal- derwood of California. With the arrival of the New York delegation to-day one of the delegates made public Miles’ letter to Woolley, which concluded as follows: “The nomination at Indianapolis on the 29th inst., although an added and greatly valued token of approval and confidence, would not, in my judgment, afford that-opportunity of efficient pub- lic service which would be the chief motive for my resuming official life.” SIECEIELL S GORMAN OUT OF THE RACE. Senator’s Name Will Not Be Presented to the Convention. WASHINGTON, June 28.—Senator Gorman, to the surprise of both friends and eritics, broke his silence sufficient- ly to-day to make an emphatic denial that he is in any combination with other leading Democrats to defeat Judge Parker for the Democratic nomination at St. Louis. He also made the significant statement that the can- didate having a clear majority of the delegates would control the conven- tion, whether the two-thirds rule pre- vailed or not. To add importance and significance to the day's doings here as they re- late to Senator Gorman, Victor Baugh- Materiars: —Four, tablespoonfuls olive cil, one tablespoonful vinegar or lemon juice, half teaspoonful salt, quarter teaspoonful pepper. & Perrins’ Cd Sauce THE ORICINAL WORCESTERSHIRE Seam:—n simple salad is s6 delightfully improved by the addition of a tablespoonful of Lea (& Perrins’ Sauce that no French Dressing should be sent to the table without it.

IFORNIA DEL { THEIR DEPARTU YE! > : A F SSTERDAY MORNING FOR TO NOMINATE A TICKET IN OPPOS.TION TO ROOSE ¥ SCE ATTENDING —e . i ITHFUL WILL GATHER | Delegates to the Democratic National Convention left San Francisco yeSter- day in an orderly, subdued fashion. There was neither shouting nor en- thusiasm. The music by the band was rendered in slow time and a minor key. The deportment of the delegates re- minded a disinterested spectator of a procession of honorary pall-bearers at a state funeral. If the band had ren- dered the famous march from nobody. would have been surpri the soft tread of the delegates was sug- gestive of solemn business. The majority of the delegates went across the bay on the 10:30 a. m. boat, but Mr. Delmas, who was deeply en- grossed in the work of preparing his great speech, did not cross until 11 o'clock. The special train, however, waited for him and the speech. M. F. Tarpey, ~hairman of the dele- gation, was in fire form and gave Mr. Delmas the glad hand when the latter joined the throng. There were two banners in view. One in blue and gold bore the inscrip- tion: “California. 1904. Delegates to Democratic National Convention. St. Louis.” The other banner came from Hawaii, but not for the first time, as it Mo. was exhibited at Kansas City in 1900. To the old inscriptio: City. 1900,” the word 1904, have heen added. the Hawailan delegation presents this profound axiom: *“Ua Mau Keea, Opa Ania,” which means that the life of the land is established in righteousness.

Engine 14562, Engineer Frank Ramon, pulled the train from the pier to Sacra- mento. T. E. McCord, who is high in the favor of the ladies, was the con- ductor in charge. A sign or streamer running the length of the diner was lettered: “California for Hearst.” A similar sign was displayed on the com- posite car. Among the delegates is Senator J. B. Sanford of Ukiah. The Senator and Mrs. Sanferd escort to the St. Louis Exposition five young ladies of the Mendocino High School. M. Jasper McDonald of the Fourth Congressional District, who was elect- ed as a delegate at Santa Cruz, did not leave the city with the delegation. It was reported at the mole yesterday that his alternate, L. Mooser, would at- tend the convention. The supply of wine and fruit con- signed to the California headquarters in the Jefferson Hotel, St. Louis, is larger than that recently taken to Chi- cago by the Republican delegation. The Fourth Congressional District Republican Committee met at No. 16 | ninth, 5; Thirtieth, 6; Thirty-first, L. Asher, chairman, Phil J. Haskins, secretary, and a quorum of members. Luther Elkins presented a call for the convention, which, after being read, adopted. The usual resolution di- recting that the petition for a place on the ballot at the primary election be filed with the Secretary of State was adopted. It is provided in the call that the “delegates elected to the State con- vention within said Congressional Dis- trict shall be the delegates empowered nominate a candidate for Congress id Fourth Congressional Dis- trict.” The apportionment of representation in | to Assembly districts is as follows: Twenty-eighth District, 5; Twenty- Fortieth, 8; Forty-first, 7; Forty-sec ond, Forty-third, 9; Forty-fourth, 8; Forty-fifth, 6; total, 68, The Congressional paign in the Fourth District will be short and sharp. | The nominee will not be choseén until late in September, therefore less than seven weeks' time will be devoted to campaigning in his behalf. The Re- publicans of the Fifth District will not invite an extended campaign. It is the sense of party leaders that a campaign of six weeks can be made as effective as a contest of three months’' duration. 3 4 man, Maryland’s member of the Na- tional Democratic Committee and a friend of Gorman, said topnight that Senator Gorman’s name would not be presented to the St. Louis convention. Republican Club at Palo Alto. PALO ALTO, June 28.-—A Repub- lican club was organized here to-night and officers chosen as follows: John D. Boyd, president; S. W. Charles, vice president; John Budfield, treasurer; Monroe H. Thomas, secretary. Spirited rivalry between the labor element and the Citizens’ Alllance for control of the organization was manifested in the preliminaries, the unions winning by a decisive majority. Delegates to the county convention were nominated as follows: M. E. Mal- colm, A. F. Ferguson, John D. Boyd, F. W. Charles, James Larkin, Dr. J. May. They will be voted on August 9. PR, ‘Wolcott Faction Defeated. DENVER, June 28.—The anti- Wolcott wing of the Republican party in Colorado won control of the State Central Committee to-day and by a vote of 66 to 49 postponed the elec- tion of a new chairman to succeed D. B. Fairley until the State convention meets. This action was in opposition to resolutions adopted by the recent State convention, directing the com- mittee to elect W. S. Boynton chair- man at to-day’s meeting. R Congressman Metcalf Resigns. SACRAMENTO, June 28.—Victor H.

Hars riman, president of the Union and Southern Pacific raiiroads, to-day de- fined his opinion eof the stock mar- ket as ‘“‘conservative.” “As prices show no signs of going down,” said Harriman, expect they will take a turn upward.” In referring to the reports that the greater part of the Southern Pa- cific preferred stock issues would be used in acquiring the stock of the Atchison Railroad, Harriman said: “There is no foundation for the current reports respecting the pur- pose of the additional $60,000,000 is- sue of Southern Pacific preferred stock. The main purpose has been to provide the company with a strong capital reserve.” B According to the Church Economist, the church members of the United States number 29,000,000, or 36 per cent of the entire population, an in- JACKSON, Miss,, June 28.—A well | crease of 29 per cent since 1800. — EDUCATIONAL ASSOCIATION ASSEMBLES AT ST.

LOUIS, June 28.—The annual convention of the National Educational Association formally convened to-day in Festival Hall at the World's Fair grounds. Later the sessions of the dif- ferent educational departments were convened in various halls throughout the grounds, the whole constituting the convention of the general association. It is estimated that close to 30,000 persons have come to St. Louls to at- tend this convention. Several thousand more educators are expected to swell the attendance before the middle of the week. The convention was called to order by President John W. Cook. There were half a dozen welcoming addresses, one by President Francis of the World's Fair, who was given a Chautauqua sa- lute, and three cheers when he conelud- ed his remarks. “University rally day” was observed at the Missouri building and alumni, students and members of university faculties from all over the country were present. 3 Before the joint session of the kinder- garten and elementary departments C. E. Farrington of the University of Cal- ifornia spoke on elementary education in Germany and France. —_———————— The stroke of the lion’s paw is the third strongest force in the animal world.

An informal committee of his friends had arranged an im- promptu farewell for him and nearly all the town was at’the station to shout “Good-by, Jim,” as the train pulled out. Noticeable among the number were: L. G. Martin, Judge J. M. Gregory, District Attorney C. M. Gregory, Col- onel R. D. Robbin: ssessor Ed Long, J. A. Linehan, R. Reeves, J.

Keys' friends had also collected about 100 boxes of choice California fruits, which were added to the supply for display and distribution at the California head- quarters in St. Loui When the train reached Sacramento there was enthusiasm to burn. The delegates from that county (the re- cently elected Treasurer, D. W. Car- michael, and P..C.

M. F. Tarpey, re- sponded in his usual vigorous and terse style, promising to keep Califor- nia well to the fore in the convention and to nominate a son of California for the Presidency if strenuous effort would accomplish that result. Among the prominent Democrats noted at the depot were Major W. J. Hassett, Superior Judge P. Shields, District Attorney Arthur M. Seymour, were ley, J. G.
