8 FOR THE SINGLE TAX. the United Labor Party Holds Its First State Conven tion, __nd Spends the Day in Fiercely Discussing the Old Parties. Not Considered Expedient to Put a State Ticket in the Field. Most of the Members Declare They Will Vote for Lower Taxes. The Minnesota advocates of the sin gle tax on land values had a convention at Windom hall, Minneapolis, yester day. It did nothing, as it ended in a species of row, but everybody went home satisfied notwithstanding. The convention developed one very pointed fact: That of the single-tax and anti-poverty men throughout the coun try, those who follow Henry George nearly all are for radical tariff reduction, and T5 per cent will vote for Cleveland and Thurman. Those who are fighting for principle, and believe in making some progress at least, will all vote for Cleveland, and most of the small remainder are those who cherish some Utopian views or have political aspira tions of their own. The attendance yes terday was discouraging, as not above fifty of the ' faithful put in an appear ance. C. J. Buck read the call, and ' the meeting was tempor arily organized by making T. 11. Lucas chairman, and C. A. S. Iligley secretary. The most interest and the greatest discussion centered in the mat ter of credentials. 'One faction, headed by Buell, wanted to admit anybody who believed in the single-tax theory, while the other, captained by Lucas and offi cered by J. A. Malone. of Minneapolis, Emile Constant, of St. Paul, wanted nobody who owed any allegiance or claimed any affiliation with what Con stant called "the corrupt and rotten Democratic or Republican parties." Most of this trouble arose over the name of T. J. Lawler. who was sent as a dele gate front the Eleventh ward of Minne apolis, and it drew out some excited talk. Delegate Howe gave his experi ence and called out applause by saying he had been born* a Democrat, then had stood out as a Repub lican as long as possible, and was now going to vote for Cleveland and tariff reform. W. S. Hamilton, of the Ninth ward, was very fiery over this, and denounced it bitterly', while Con stant said he represented labor and in dependence, and would leave if any thing else came up. Lane constantly referred to Lawler as vice president of the Algonquin club, and finally Lawler determined to accept the seat and the dispute ended. SELECTING A fIIAIItJiAX. The question of credentials being hap pily settled, Mr. Finnegan, who had kept tab or. the old convention, moved the appointment of a committee of five on permanent organization. Hector McLean, to facilitate business, moved to elect John C. Buell, permanent chair man. Finnegan sprung an : effete par liamentary rule upon him, and in the hubbub Buell moved to make the tem porary organization permanent, but Lucas would not hear, of it. He had never been a president, and would not begin now. Then Buell declined, and .1. jP. McGaughev was elected by accla mation. McGaughev was sitting in a back seat, and at this, raised his eye brows in wonder. "What does this mean?" lie asked. "I am not even a delegate here, and don't know the scope and intention of your convention." "Yes you are a delegate," said a voice. "Well, 1 wasn't consulted,'' replied Mc- Gaughey, "and I'd like to know what this all means." The chair thought a little extra courtesy was demanded, and sent a committee to escort him to the chair, but McGaughey did not escort. "1 want to be perfectly frank and clear with you," he said, "for I appreciate the honor, but I will not commit myself to anything.'"' "You're all right," said Dr. Finnegan. "You believe that land values belong to the community." "Yes. I do, but I want to say I belong to no party, and never did, and will never owe any allegiance to ii party, not even yours. If I accept ed this office 1 would endeavor to fairly protect your interests, but your results might not satisfy me, and then I would not stand by them." Jack's sturdy in dependence stood by him and he refused the oflice, which the chair regretted, and declared C. J. Buell elected. Buell made a speech on the single tax and taxes in general, and wound up by say ing this: "One of the two great parties has declared itself in favor of reducing some of the taxes, and the other has de clared itself in favor of retaining them all. 1 want to say here that my vote, in November, ill he cast for the electors of drover Cleveland. 1 say this, and if you want some one else to preside over your deliberations, elect him." [Ap plause.] ___^89-_M__l GOT INTO POLITICAL WATER. . T. A. Malone hopped up in a hurry and said this was not a national Demo cratic convention. W. S. Hamilton, his face red with ex citement, climbed up and made. a fiery speech, saying if this convention was to discuss national candidates, -he would lead the Ninth ward delegates from the convention. T. H. Lucas moved to exclude all reference to old party candidates, and on this motion spoke for twenty min utes, in which he characteristically de nounced both parties and both plat forms. As there were enough sympath izers present to encourage him, he grew very excited and pitched into President Cleveland and Gen. Harrison in a way that would have curled their hair back ward, had they heard it. Dr. Finnegan said men were very prone to quarrel over non-essentials, and this they were doing now. Here was simply a principle and the question was the Indorsement of it, not of candi dates. It was no business of the con vention who should receive their votes for the presidency. Jonas Howe wanted to throw oil on the troubled waters, which meant to de w nounce both old parties and vote for Cleveland, because he was on the right road and was the lesser of two evils. Delegate Roberts, the one colored brother present, believed in single tax, but disagreed with Henry George, lean ing toward the Dr. McGlynn theory. This had nothing to do with the ques tion before the house, but he was per mitted to air his views in extenso. Finally he was called down, and future orators we're limited to two minutes. - T. If. Lucas wanted to have read some Re publican-thunder against Cleveland, which queer proceeding was knocked out by carrying the, motion to exclude all old party politics". Delegate Malone wanted a recess, but- Secretary Higley objected until the organization was com pleted and a -secretary * appointed. Dr. Finiiegan and Delegate Malone had a little private scrap,* after which the mo tion was defeated: T. H. Lucas moved the appointment of a committee of five on resolutions. As the chair was nam ing them some one suggested Emile Constant. '•The chair has the power to appoint the committee," announced the chair. "Well, he can receive sugges tions, I suppose," said Delegate Hamil ton. "Oh, yes, but he is not* bound by them. 1 will not appoint Mr. Constant •unless, the -convention orders it." The convention did order it and the committee appointed as follows: Lucas, Carpenter, Constant, McVey and Tan ner. C. A. S. Higley was named per manent secretary, and the convention took a recess . until 2 o'clock. Delegate Tanner wanted to know why he was nut on the committee, as he was not go ing to sit in the convention any longer* It was not going to suit him, and they had seen the last of him. Chairman Buell hoped he would stay, and a dele gate sung out: "You'll have no work on the committee, Tanner; the resolu tions are already drawn up." GETTING OUT TIIE PLATFORM. As soon as the convention adjourned the committee went . into session, and Tanner went wit__ it. Two hours were necessary for the committee to cull out of the other platforms the platitudes necessary for their use. T. H. Lucas was chairman, and there was little dis agreement, Tanner agreeing- with the sentiments, but voting against embody ing them in the resolutions. Finally the work was accomplished, and at 3 o'clock the convention resumed work. The attendance was smaller than in the morning, but the interest no less marked. There was no applause when T. 11. Lucas formally read the resolu tions : First— We believe every human has an inalienable right of access to land on equal terms with every other member of the government of which he is a con stituent part; and we believe this right of access should be secured by requiring all who enjoy the privilege of exclusive possession of any portion of the earth to pay, in the form of a tax for the com mon benefit of all, what such exclusive right of possession is annually worth. This is the first step toward the accom plishment of this end. We demand the passage by the legislature of such laws as may be necessary for exempting all personal property and improvements on and from taxation, in order that he who is willing to satisfy the wants of an ad vancing civilization by opening up a farm, a coal bed, a mineral deposit, or erecting a residence or factory on land, shall uot be fined for his enterprise. Second— We demand the adoption of the Australian system of conducting elections. Third— advocate the state owner ship and control of railroads, and in the meantime the reduction of railroad tariffs to such a point as will give a reasonable rate ot interest on the actual investment. Fourth— conscious that no re form can give effectual and permanent relief to labor that does not involve the legal recognition of equal lights- to natural opportunities, we nevertheless, as measures ot relief from some of the evil effects of ignoring those rights, favor such legislation as may tend to re duce the hours of labor, to "prevent the employment of children of tender years, to avoid the competition of convict labor with honest industry, to secure the sanitary inspection of tenements fac tories and mines, and to put an end to the abuse of conspiracy laws. Fifth -The desire also to simplify the procedure of our courts and diminish the expense of legal proceedings, that the poor may be placed on an equality with the rich, and the long delays which now result, in scandalous miscarriages of justice may be prevented. Sixth — In support of these aims we solicit the co-operation of all patriotic citizens, who, sick of the degradation of politics, desire by constitutional methods to establish justice, to preserve liberty, to extend the spirit of fraternity, and to elevate humanity. Hector McLean wanted to know what the Australian system of voting meant, and Lucas produced a pamphlet and read the law. Delegate Tanner said, as a minority of the committee, . said he -considered the resolution a heavy load to carry. They were platitudes. All he -wanted was one resolution on the single tax and no more, and not inflict these resolutions on the people of Min nesota. Dr. Finnegan agreed with him entirely. A motion to consider the res olutions seriatim prevailed, and a gen eral exchange of views followed which resulted only in delay and the final adoption of the resolutions as originally prepared. SELECTING A NAME. Dr. Finnegan started another discus sion by moving that the organization be known as the tax reformer's party, a name which indicated its purpose. Delegate Roberts vehemently demanded that the party should be christened the single-tax. party. Emil. Constant, of St. Paul, wanted to know if the delegates had grown ashamed of the old name, "The United Labor party.*' Delegate Carpenter regarded the word "labor" as misleading, and was in favor of chang ing to the tax reform party. Dr. Fin negan's motion was defeated, however, and the old name of United Labor party will be retained. A recess followed for the purpose of holding consultations as to the names to be presented for candi dates. When the convention came to order Dr. Finnegan moved the nomination of officers. Delegate McLean said he stood with Henry George in thinking that more could be accomplished by a fusion with one of the great parties. He was decided out of order, under the rule adopted before the noon adjournment. Chairman Buell made quite a lengthy address against the advisability of put ting candidates in the field at all. If candidates were nominated, he thought their certain overwhelming defeat would be taken by the people as meaning al most unanimous disapproval of the measures those candidates represented. The nomination of candidates would, he thought, create a friction, and would destroy any chance of obtaining even a hearing by the legislature. Thomas H. Lucas said he never knew a party to be victorious that demanded a majority at first. He cited the Re publicans as an example. "Cater to the old parties and relief will never come, but within four years a great revolution will come. Put off the measures of * re lief we advocate, swell the steadily in creasing army of the unemployed, and this is inevitably to result. -If we hold together, demanding the reforms that must prove the salvation of the country, we will ultimately succeed. Mr. Lucas was very emphatic in demanding that nominations should be made, and was warmly applauded." The roil was called upon the motion to nominate candidates, resulting as fol lows: Affirmative 22, negative 12. At this Chairman Buel resigned, stating he should no longer act with the conven tion. He then stepped down and out, and A, O. Grigsby was elected to suc ceed him. At this Mr. Lucas said that he followed in the same strain and re viewed the history of the Republican party to show how a fight for principle can reach victory after successive de feats. Ulysis Tanner said he came to advocate the single tax idea and not to make a party. There was more desul tory talk pro and con until" William Stevens cried, out in despair for the "monkey work" to cease, and it finally did, when he did not consider it advisa ble to nominate candidates, as he un derstood that a movement was on foot to organize a new party to unite all in dustrial classes in an effort against monopoly. He moved an adjournment subject to the call of the chairman. This carried, and the following commit tee of five was appointed to be known as the state central committee, and is O. A. Grigsby, Hubbard, T. H. Lucas, J. B. Duke; Minneapolis; Brick Olseu, Emil Constant. St. Paul. The New York: le-<i_T_uire assembled in ex tra session yesterday.

' r. — ~ Senator Evarts Eloquently Describes Its Wonderful Growth. HEROES OF THE REVOLUTION Freedom-Loving and Lion-Hearted, Their Ideas Finally Spread All Over the Country. Special to the Globe. Marietta, 0., July 17. — Senator Sherman, Senator Daniels, of Virginia: Gen. J. S. Robinson, Gen. Thomas Ew ing, Gen. C. 11. Grosvenor and a score of other distinguished persons arrived here this morning to participate in the exercises of the centennial celebration. The morning was devoted to Senator Evarts. Senator Evarts spoke without manuscript, and displayed more vigor than he has done in the senate in a long time. He said : "The Marietta settle ment was a wonderful exhibition of the courage of the forerunners of the pres ent civilization. The courts of justice in the West that were opened a century ago, have never been closed. In the God-given Northwest laws have never been silent and courts have never de nied justice. There was no need of war or desolation in other races ,to make room for us in the most unpeopled re gions of the Week The problem was to see how we could keep free from other countries of Europe the narrow settlements of this'' country." Senator Evarts explained the philosophy of the successful settlement of the whole coun try from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and his remarks after he passed his intro duction were not local in nature. He emphasized the fact that at the same time a slave ship and the Mayflower landed in America, and said that the el ement infused by the importation of slavery had borne a heavy burden in the destinies of the country. The prob lem was to KEEP SEPARATE TIIE TWO "RACES and prevent an infusion of their ideas from entering the hardy and sternly moral settlements of New England. Other notions and ideas were kept out from the country by the presence of slavery till we were strong enough to master the world. The little rim where slavery had taken a hold on the shores of the Atlantic kept us free from the toiling people of other nations where toil was free and had dignity. The proposition of the New Eugland settlers who came here was that they would not come till their institutions were complete. They wanted land available and labor free, and the dignity of the people assured. Mr. Jefferson had pro posed that after 1800 slavery 'should be excluded from all the Western country, but the well disciplined, thoughtful men who came here said they would take no chances, not even for the dozen years that were to elapse between their coming and the beginning of this cen tury. They wanted no promises for the future.. They knew a tide of population would follow them. They knew the population would be diluted by impure streams. They knew it would not do to admit slavery at all in the Northwest. They held forth to human faith and human duty before they enlarged the snhere of their action by settling the West. So they came free and made this glorious section of this country containing two-thirds of the population free. John Randolph said that from this settlement at Marietta there would not be a settler in the Mississippi valley in a hundred years, yet in sixty-two years the people who came through this gateway to the West had pushed westward to the Rocky mountains, plowed over them down to the golden gate at San Francisco. Our Northern labor meant to possess, enjoy and subdue the wilderness and make it blossom as it went on. Slavery, on the other hand, was remorseless, avaricious, a coveter of new lands which were dis poned. We went FORWARD FOR FREEDOM. The South sought new territory for slave labor and its wasteful environ ment. A column of free labor came to the North from the nations of Europe, and we were able to keep pace with the growth of the slave-holding South. He pointed out that the war had finally spread over the whole country, the na tion's institutions, and ideas of the lib eral-minded,' lion-hearted freedom-lov ing heroes of the revolution who settled here 100 years ago." The afternoon was given up to the representatives of Michigan and Illinois. States Senator Palmer, of Michigan, set forth in strong, picturesque language the rise and de velopment of Michigan ' from a crude wilderness to an important and opulent state. Senator Palmer was followed by Hon. J. N. Smith, who described the glory, greatness and progress of Illi nois. I.OCAf. ii vi 'io_¥. Peerless Fountain Pens. And all kinds of "Gold Seal" Rubber Goods.
