We appeal to New England's faith- ful sentiment among her historic hills, in the name of all her unfaltering and brilliant Democrats, living and dead, to join us in our labor for success, We appeal to every Demo- crat from everywhere to forget the bitter war- fare of the past; forget the strife and anger of the older other days; abandon the grudgs and rancor of party discontent and, re- calling with ever increasing pride the tri- umphs of our fifty years of constitutional government, of liberty and peace—here and now resolve to make the future record that resplendent reach of time In which liberty and peace went up and down the nations of the earth, building their kingdom in the hearts of men and zathering the harvest of genius and toil; in which reason struck from the hand of force the sword of hate and plucked from the heart of war the germ of greed: In which conscience smote thoughts of wrong and filled the mind with mercy's sweet re- straint; in which power grew in the human brain, ‘but refuse the shelter of a glittering | crown; in which the peopie of all lands and tongues, awakened to hope by the Inspiration of our exampie, followed with the march of years the luminous pathway leading to a destiny beyond the reach of vision and within the province of God. In this spirit New York nominates_for President of the United States Alton B. Parker. . SPEAKS FOR TENNESSEE. ST. LOUIS, July 8.—Senator Car- mack of Tennessee, who seconded the nomination of Alton B. Parker, spoke as follows: Mr. Chairman and gentlemen of the conven- tion: 1 speak for the State which holds fn her boscm the ashes of Old Hickory and among whose people his epirit is abroad. In few words and simple fashion I shall discharge the duty imposed upon me by my delegation and by the unanimous voice of the Democracy of Tennessee. One of the largest and most representative State conventions that ever assembled, with unparalleled enthusiasm and without one dis- senting voice, Instructed us to cast the vote of Tennessee for that profound jurist, that un- faltering Democrat, that_stainiess gentleman, Alton B, Parker of New York. This was not done in haste, but after mature deliberation in which the character and quali- tles of cvery possiblé nominee were carefully weighed in the balance. Nor did we fall to congider all the criticisms that have been made against him, with the result that in our judg- ment the character of our candidate stands out clean and clear, unspotted by the reckless defamation that has raged around it I should not longer detain this convention but that some of these criticisms seem to de- mand a passing notice. The fact that Judge Parker is being supported by men who are blessed with a larger amount of the world's goods than most of us have been able to as- semble is being strangely urged as an objection to his nomination. Sir, 1 deny that the Demo- cratic party is the party for the poor man alone. It is the party for every rich man who respects the rights of the poor, and it is the party of every man who wants to be rich. It is the party of every man who loves his Hber! and it is also the party of every man who loves the dollar he has earned honestly and the se- curity of the property that is rightfully his. No man is barred from its councils because he is poor and no man is barred because he is rich, 1 believe it was a Democratic convention of which It was written, ‘‘The rich and the poor meet together; the Lord is the maker of them all."” The charge has been recklessly made that the Influences of Wall street are behind the candidacy of this upright and incorruptible Judge. The charge is based upon no scintilla of evidence, or upon such evidence only as no adult understanding ever before stooved to consider. 1 can tell the author of this accu- sation that the power of Wall street has in a Pacific | feeble way been felt in this convention, and that it bas been striving_as earnestly as he to defeat the nomination of Alton B. Parker and to accomplish the nomination of quite another candidate. Another objection is that Judze Parker has not taken upon himself the office of this con- vention to declare the will and purpose of the Democratic party. Mr. Chairman, I trust it will be long before the Democratic party will | repeat the spectacle recently presented by its adversary of a great convention assembled to merely record one man's oninion and to exe- cute one man’s will. Sir, this convention has | assembled not to receive but to give instruc- | tions to its nominee. { Tt may be, sir, that our candidate is not voluble and vociferous as some would have him be, but I have vet to learn that laryngeal | activity is the supreme test of statesmanship. I have yet to learn that the length of a man mouth measures the depth of his wisdom. | When the Almighty wanted a leader to con- | Anet the children of Israel out of the house of bondage, Moses objected to his own selection { on the ground that he lacked the gift of ready ! | eloquence, and he suggested his brother Aaron as a fit leader W the people. Aaron did not have much judgment, but he could talk. But the Almighiy preferred the silent wisdom of the great lawyer to the voluble unwisdom of the great orator to lead the people In that cam- paign. And *e did not forget Aaron, either. He found a Dlace for him. And. Mr. Chair- while the Democratic rty prefers its in this campaign, it wants the help of its Aaron, too. Mr. Chairman, we enter this campaign under such conditions ‘as never before confronted the American people. Never before has the personal | | character of the candidate been so important | to the country as this campaign. The Re- publican party, that was once proud to be called the party of Lincoln, has become a helpless slave to every caprice of one irrespon- sible man. It has been subdued to the law- less will of one man who bestrides it like a colossus, while its vetty leaders in Congress creep hetween his huge legs to find themselves dishonorable graves. When could they say till now that like talked-of Rome her wide | walls encompassed but oné man? The will of this one man is not directed by wisdom and patriotism, but it is characterized ty an impatience of all legal and constitutional restraints, by desire to thrust his own militant figure into the foreground of every picture, by a morbid craving for sensationalism and excite- ment. ‘Tke course of the present administration has Justly alarmed all conservative citizens, who feel that the peace as well as the prosperity of the country demands the defeat of the present occupant of the White House. Tre Democracy of Tennessee has declared that in this crisis the party should present a | candidate of judiclal temper, one imbued with | a deep reverence for the constitution, with a respect for law., with a just regard for estab- lished precedents and traditions. with a sane conception of the duties and responsibilities of public office, a candidate, in short, whose whole life and character will be in vivid contrast with the recklessness, the lawlessness, the epi- leptic and convulsive strenuosity of this admin istration. We believe we have such a man in the distinguished jurist from New York. The fact that he has always supported the nom of his party shows his fidelity to the party or- ganization. The fact that he was elected by a majority of 60.000 as a member of the highest court in New York shows his popularity in that { important State. His record on the bench dem. onstrates his great ability. His action In cases where the rights of labor and the power of un- | lawful comb!nations were involved shows that he has never bowed to the power of wealth. The fact that throughout a long officlal career he has remained poor shows that he has never | been touched by greed for gain. His political enemies testify to the purity of his life and the incorruptible integrity of his character. Chcose this man for your leader and the clans of Democracy will throng to his standard filled with the hope and the inspiration of vi tory, assured that the party which follows h: «etainless ba r will never know dishonor and never ta: feat. Gentlemen .t the convention, in the name of the Andrew Jackson Democracy of Tennessee 1 second the nomination of Alton B. Parker of New York. e SN ERSE WANTS NEW YORKER. ST. LOUIS, July 8.—H. S. Cum- mings of Connecticut, in geconding the GREAT VESSEL REACHES PORT Baltic, the TLargest * Ship Afloat, Completes Maiden Voyage Across Atlantic —— Special Dispatch to The Call. NEW YORK, July 8.—With all the stateliness that goes with 40,000 tons displacement the Baltic, the greatest of ocean steamships, moved up the bay early this morning and, aided by a flotilla of puffing tugs, ranged her tre- mendous bulk against her North River pier. It had been predicted that the Baltic would reach port the day before, but thick weather forced the steamship to run at reduced speed during the lat- ter part of her journey and eventually compelled her to seek an overnight anchorage outside the bar. This brought her up the river at an hour when few were about to bid her wel- come, and, save for the whistles of a few ferry-boats and tugs, the arrival of this queen of trans-Atlantic steam- ships was almost unmarked. There were few at the pler to meet the vessel. Those who climbed the gangplank to the main deck of the liner were amagzed at the long vista of deck space and the great beam of the mighty vessel. Entering the main doorway one could see a maze of com- panionways leading to the decks be- neath and to those above. Standing on the main deck, four decks are under foot, while four more rise overhead, the top deck being eighty feet above the water. Oné of the most striking fea- tures of the big vessel is the great dining saloon, an apartment extend- ing the full width of the ship and having a seating capacity for 375 per- sons. e e — DANIEL J..

WASHINGTON, July 8.—With con- | siderable promptness and a great deal | of lavishness the new republic of Pan- ama is proceeding to utilize for public { improvements the $10,000,000 it received [from the United States recently for | Panama canal rights. According to re- |ports from H. A. Cudger, American { Consul General at Panama, $3,250,000 | has already been appropriated, $1,000,- {000 of which goes to improve Panama |alone. According to the law appro-| | priating this money, which was passed by the National Assembly on‘June 6, the plans and specifications for the im- provements for which it is to be used must be filed and the work under way by December 31. The work for which the money will be used eovers a wide range. Panama is to have a new Capi- tol. The sum is distributed among the va- | rious provinces as follows: Province of Panama, $1,000,000; province of Co- lon, $300,000; province of Chiriqui, $450,- 000; province of Cocle, $350,000; province of Los Santos, $350,000; province of Vera Aguas, $350,000; province of Bocas del Toro, $450,000. R e — MONARCHISTS FEAR RESULT OF ACTIVITY OF EDWARD Think King Is Risking Grave Compli- cations by Deviating From Path of British Constitutionalism. VIENNA, July 8.—Franecis Joseph and other devoted monarchists of this entourage are disturbed by the ac- tivity of King Edward in practical in- ternational politics. They fear that the King, who is drawing attention to himself as the initiator of great poli- cies, is deviating from the straight path of British constitutionalism and is risking grave complications with public opinion. They argue that if the British people should be drawn into an unfortunate treaty—with Ger- many, for example—they would hold the King responsible, and the mon- archic system of England would suffer severe strain. Telegrams to the Vienna press state that similar arguments are finding lodgment in thoughtful minds in Great Britain. —_— MORE SURVIVORS OF THE NORGE RESCUED Twenty People Reach the Shore After Being in a Boat Eight Days.

The party rowed the entire distance to the islands. 3 All on board the boat were much exhausted, - MONTANA LADS FIND TREASURE Unearth Chest Containing Real and Imitation Jewels and a Mysterious Epistle Special Dispatch to The Call. ANACONDA, Mont.,, July 8—Two boys, Phil Danley and Jimmie Spell- man of this city, unearthed a myste- rious treasure chest to-day while dig- ging in a bank at the head of Maple street and the find has aroused consid- erable interest. The box uncovered by the lads is about fourteen inches square, is made of heavy stuff and is bound with heavy iron bands. It was found fo contain a small diamond pin, two unset opals, several pieces of gold quartz, pieces of copper ore, a brooch set with small pearls, two unset imita- tion diamonds and copper nuggets. In the box was found a letter written on pieces of paper so badly decayed as to be almost entirely {llegible. A few words written in a large hand were de- ciphered, and they seemed to indicate that the chest contained the secret of greater treasures hidden perhaps in some other place. The following is all that could be made out of the message: “This chest contains key to chest which is buried —. Dig — at dig — ne — Gold — A key was found in the chest and why the thing was buried is a complete mystery.

L ———— 'AL POISONING.—Eva wt‘o% took a dose of wmm':! mercury by mistake on July 5, died at the ——p nomination of Judge Parker, said: Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen of the Con- vention: The Democracy of Connecticut, which I have upon this occasion the great honor of representing, has a vital interest in the result of the coming campalign. I therefore crave, at the hands of ‘this great convention, the priv- flege of a few moments in_which briefly t~ set forth the wishes of the Democrats of that doubtful and essential State. It is our wish. our hope and our purpose to present to the Democracy of the nation the seven electoral Yotes of the old constitutional State of Connecticut. We appeal to this assemblage of Democrats for the invaluable assistance of a wise Presidential nomination. The Demo- crats of Connecticut realize that aside from the great questions of public policy so ably set forth in the platform just adopted, aud upon which any candidate selected by this convention will squarely stand, this country are to pass upon the bizarre per- sonality and the political peculiarities of the present chief executive. Thoughtful people have begun to weary of his eccentric advertis- ing methcde. They are alternately amused and alarmed by strenuous and untimely impetuosity. They decline to accept hf In his favorite role of a mighty military cap- tain. True, he has taken great pains to assure them that he has charged up San Juan Hill, but they have come to the conclusion that he has shed more ink and less blood than any warrior since Sancho Panza. They realize that his chief hold upon a doubtful fame for mili- tary activity depends upon such glory as he managed to achieve by impertinences and in- | They | sults to Miles and Dewey an are uneasy in the knowledge that he is pain- fully lacking in poise and balance, and so constitutionally reckless that he is likely, at any time, to involve cur country in difficuities at_home’and abroad. They have witnessed, with infinite regret, his efforts to stir up sectionalism and for sel- fish purposes to undo the work of patriots by resurrecting the infamous issue of the bloody shirt. They have witnessed his burlesque as- saults upon the criminal monopoiies and have found that his warfare against the trusts consigts in the use of extravagant language and the assumption|of terrifying facial con- tortions. They have come to know him be- cause of his extravagance, his arrogance, his disregard for constitutional limitations and his efforts to develop, the executive powers at_the expense of the legislative branch of the Gov- ernment. They are eager for a real Amer- ican statesman, of American size, and animated ¥ American constitutiongl ideas. It you want to secure’ the Sehley. ven electoral | votes of Connecticut, it you wish to strengthen and_inspire her Democracy. if you desire to heed the wishes of one of the doubtful States that must be carried in order that the na- ticnal Democracy may come into her own, then you must name as the choice of this great convention a candidate who appeals to buth the regular Democrat and the independent voter, and who is the very antithesis of the Republican nominee. Fortunately there is such a candidate now before this assemblage for its consideration. Ho {s & man of sound Democratic principles, tried executive ability, great personal popu- larity, wide learning In the law, profound respect for justice and the constitution, un- doubted party regularity, a ciean record and & judicial reputation for dealing in a large way with large problems. He is a_man of dignity and self-control, and from his high end honorable position upon the bench has handed down leading decisions upon many vexed and pertinent questions affecting labor and capital. From his character, his attain- ments and his experience it is clear that both the party and the country have in him a man Who can be trusted to meet every question as it arises, to guide the affairs of state in a safe and proper course, and at all times and in every way to measure up to the highest standard of public service. We can place the Insignia of the party in his hands, secure in the faith that he will carry it through this contest even with the fidelity with which the black Douglas carried the sacred casket that contained the heart of Bruce. Gentlemen, Connecticut unites her voice with that of her sister States, New York, New Jersey and Indiana, doubtful States every one, and asks this splendid assembjage of Democrats to nominate for President of the United States Judge Alton Brooks Parker of New York. ——————— In San Juan, Porto Rico, there are five familles for very two dwellings.

Graves Charges That Combine Prevented Him From ZEntering Business John E. Graves made elaborate prep- arations to go into tha retail fruit busi- ness, but was prevented, he says, by the organizations of the wholesalers and retailers already engaged in that line of trade. In the expectation of re- covering the money he had expended, and further damages, he yesterday brought suit in the Superior Court for $10,000, and named as defendants the ‘Wholesale Fruit and Produce Mer- chants’ Association, the Retail Fruit Dealers’ Association, L. Scatena, Gar- cla A. Maggini, Van Husen & Co., the American Produce Company, Wetmore Bros. and Julius Zenteér. Graves alleges that the wholesale as- sociation entered into an unlawful and illegal agreement that none of its mem- bers should sell any produce to any person not in good standing as a mem- ber of the retail association, and none g the members of the retall associa- on should patronize any ome not a member of the wholesale association. The plaintiff says that he applied for membership in the retali association and tendered the $5 fee, which was re- fused. He attempted to buy from mem- bers of the wholesale association and they would not sell to him. Further- more, he declares the latter organiza- tion printed his name in a “blacklist.” He says that he lost $5000 by injury to his business, $350 which he spent to fit up his place, $130 in rent paid and $25 expended for printing. —_————— COMMISSIONER FORBES ON WAY TO MANTLA Succeeds Wright in Position of Secre- tary of Commerce and Police of - Philippines.

Delmas placed the name of William Randoiph Hearst before the convention as a candidate for the Presidential nomination. Delmas said: For the first time in history California pre- sents as a candidate for the great office of chief executive of the republic one born and reared upon her soil.

He is day the Representative in Congress of Imperial State, which is now his home. T the realization of your hopes the vote of that State is indispensable.
