Camp Anderson Fiercely At tacked and Its Command er Captured. Rumop That He Has Been Lynched by the Infu riated Miners. Dynamite Kay Annihilate the Reinforcements at Any Moment. KsroxvnXE, Term., Aug. IS.— A pri vate message from Clinton to this city says: Courier has just arrived here (9:15), from Coal Creek. He says fight ing has been goinir on all afternoon. Sc ye -al soldiers were killed, and the Catling gun is out of order. The Knox ville volunteers and soldiers who left here by special train will never reach Coal Creek, as the track is loaded with dynamite. Kxoxvii.i.e, Aug. 18.— Capt. Keller Anderson, who for nearly a year has held the convicts at Coal Creek, is in the hands of the miners at last. Latest reports, which are reliable, say that the battle at Camp Anderson was com menced as early as 10 this morning. For several hours firing was not general. About 2 "o'clock miners to the number of a thousand mado an organ ized assault on the fort and were suc cessfully repulsed. The third attempt resulted in a regular pitched battle and gatiing guns got in their work, but to what extent is not known. Several of the assailants were wounded, and some of them were probably killed, but no one knows for certain. Between the first and second assaults on the forts three miners were capt ured. Their comrades sent a ilag of truce to Cnpt. Anderson to ask for re lease. He was seized by several of them on meeting them on neutral ground and rushed down the hill and finally taken to one of the hotels in the village, where he is guarded by Rohert Lindsay, a deputy United States mar shal and a number of friends. Held as Hostage. They are holding him as a hostage and will not agree to give him up until the troops and convicts are withdrawn from the valley. William Lii.dsay, a desperate charac ter, and brother of the deputy marshal, set but to organize a mob to lynch An derson. The hotel is surrounded by several hundred well-armed men ana the story is to the effect that Anderson ■was drunk and came outside the fortifi cations in a drunken manner, and the boys picked him up without trouble. Hi's force of 135 men are still holding the fort. The men have been on short rations for three days, as every avenue of sup ply has been cut off. Later— Capt. Anderson has been taken from the botej, where he was guarded, and spirited away. It is supposed that he lias been lynched. The details of the reported capture and lynching of Anderson are not yet known, but it is said that it has to some extent disheartened the militia. They are. however, fighting with desperation, as they know that capture will be fol lowed by the death of all at the hands Of the infuriated mob. To Move at Daybreak. Knoxville, Aug. is.— (Jen. Carnes has irone into camp at Onus, four miies from Coal Creek. He will go to the re lief of Fort Anderson at daybreak. There has been no lighting since dark. Two hundred more volunteers leave here for Coal Creek at 4 o'clock. They are sleeping in the cars. The Knoxville Iron company, lesees of the branch penitentiary at Coal Creek, have given the governor twenty days' notice that they will give up the lease and turn the convicts over to the 6tate authorities. This decision, if laid before the miners, would probably put an end to the whole trouble. Nashville, Aug. 18.— Gov. Buchanan Is still quite sick and Acijt. Geu.Norinan today directed all airs, issuing orders to all the sheriffs to summon men and press firms or secure them at any cost. Gen. Anderson, at Coal Creek, was or dered to hold the fort until assistance [arrived. Forty men left here tonight. HUSHING TO THE RESCUE. Gen. Carnes and Other Officers Start Tor Coal Creek. Kxoxvii.t.e, Aug. 18. — Reinforce ments are hurrying forward, but they are few in number.! though brave lighters. At 8 p. m. Gen. Carnes and the West Tennessee troops had not ar rived, and it is feared that the little band that is left will be butchered " before help can reach it. At 4:30 thi=> afternoon the posse summoned by Sheriff llolloway was armed with Winchester rifles. It numbered eighty-five men, among them some of the most prominent business and professional men of the city, and v;is commanded by Maj. 1). A. Carpen ter, a grizzled veteran of the late war ai:d a hard and desperate fighter. This posse was joined by the militia under command of Col. Vv oolford, num beriug probably 100 men. The parly ■was placed on board the train and im mediately left for the scene of the trouble. At Clinton they were met by a number of citizens of Knoxville, Clin ton and Coal Creek, who urged the ab solute madness oi' goine forward with out reinforcements. A thousand armed miners, they said, were drawn up ready to Bre upon them us they alighted from the train, and dynamite was every where. Maj. Carpenter heard them through, and then, turning to his men, said: "Boys, 1 guess we will go on," and they went. '1 he wires are down, and beyond Clinton they have not been heard from. At Clinton the sounds of battle are plainly heard,and there is no doubt that deadly fighting rages beyond the mount ain. The court house bell is again ringing the riot call and the excited people are rushing in thnt direction. Men are vol unteering, but there are ho arms. lien. Games, with 400 men, has reached Kuoxville and will go immedi ately to the front. Opiuion Is growing that an awful lose oi life of pood citi zens ami innocent mefi can only be avoided by prompt action of the gover nor in calling on the president to send federal troops to the scene of action. Gen. Carnes will be the eonimander in-chief in the field. He says lie will wrest every nihiei whom he cau lay liis <!=; s^^^fe2^^^v v hands on when he gets to Coal Creek, whore he should be by 10 o'clock at the latest, if the track is not obstructed and the train gets through all right. The men with Gen. Carnes are in good spirits and full of determination. There are some old campaigners among them, and there will be no repetition of the Oliver Springs surrender. ANDERSON IS NERVY. A, Pistol at His Head Fails to Feaze Him. ■ Chattanooga, Term., Aug. IS.— A 1 special to the Times from the scene of war filed at 10 p. m. says: A reporter who was under arrest by the miners since night before hist and escaped, says fighting began at 3 o'clock and continued until G. During the fight, two or three of the leaders of the miners were captured by Gen. Anderson's troops. A truce was raised, and the miners told Anderson if he would surrender their leaders they would allow him to return to his fort. lie took the men anie went down among the miners. \Yli:mi out of range of the trims the leader of the mob, the notorious Bud Lindsey, put a pistol to Anderson's head and told him he must order his men to surrender or he would shoot. Gen. Anderson an swered by a defiant wave of the hand, and a firm: '-Shoot and be damned," adding that he would never tell his men to surrender. Anderson was then taken to a hotel as a prisoner. Tonight it is reported that the miners intend to lynch him. One thousand citizens and soldiers are now on the way as reinforcements. They have plenty of ammunition, two Galling guns and two cannons. They are under command of Gen. Games., of Memphis, and lie declares they will so 10 Coal Creek to niehtor wade through blood. Nothing has been heard of the train of forces that left Knoxviile at 4:30 p. m., since it passed Clinton. It is hoped they will reach Coal Creek in time to rescue Gen. Anderson. If he is lynched every miner seen will be shot on sight. SHORT OF WEAPONS. Volunteers Useless for Lack of Shooting Iron. CirATAXOOOA, Term., Aug. IS.— citement was at fever heat in this city today.

London, Aug. 18.— shock of earth quake last night caused consternation iv Pembrokeshire', the extreme south western county of Wales. People were generally asleep when a low, rumbling noise was heard, and houses rocked and shivered, like a ship. In Haverford west the rumbling ajid rocking action was particularly heard and felt, and hundreds of -people awak ened from sleep, rushed out into the street in their nightgowns without waiting to dress. Crockery was smashed and furniture moved by the shaking of the buildings, which lasted, however, but a few Second's. The people re mained in the streets panic-stricken and fearful of a more disastrous visita. tion. After an interval "another shock came, but it was slight as compared with the first and did uo damage. There was another interval and another shock, also slight.

Aue. is.— The Dem ocratic state convention of lowa met in the Burtis opera house at 11 o'clock this morning. After organization Hon. John F. Duncombe presented the platform, the main planks of which follow: The Democrats of lowa, in convention as sembled,-.heartily tiiidorse the platform of principles enunciated at the national con vention held at Chicago, and the nomination of (irover Cleveland and Adlai Stevenson for president and vice president. We hail the opportunity for a full aifClission and a de termination by ballot of the paramount issues which the national platform and the candi dates suggest, to wit: Itadical reform of the tariff, and the maintenance and perpetuity of the doctrine of local self-government, and we pledge our earnest and united sunport to thcu-e principles. We recognize the effort of the popular branch of the congress of the United States to secure a reform of the tariff, and we con demn the Kepunlican senate for Its failure to consider measures passed i>y the popular brand), particularly when the people them selves had declared against the high protec tion policy represented by the MeKinley bill by an overwhelming majority in the election of 1890. The failure of the Republican na tional administration and the" Republican senate to bow to the verdict of the people at the polls is a denial of the right of the popu lar sovereignty, such us was not contemplat ed by the founders of the republic, and such as would not he tolerated iv any other civil ized country on the globe. We are in thorough sympathy wiih the multitude of honest toilers throughout the laud; and we observe with deep solicitude the conflicts between capital and labor which manifest themselves in the ever in crcasiug u umber and soope of lockouts and strikes. These conditions fire chargeable to the policy of the Republican policy, which has for its object the disbursement/of tuxes among the favored few, and the maintenance of privileged classes at the expense ot the masses. The greed of the capitalists in monopoliz ing the benefits granted by this policy will never deal justly -with producing labor", and while we insist ibat violence and disorder must be restrained under all circumstances, and that the ballot box is the place for the determinntion of such vital questions; we declare that the proper solution of the problems wriich now confront the people of this country can tie fou'id only by returning to Me simple original principles "enunciated by the founders of the republic, the sturdy advocates of the greatest Dossiijle personal, political and commercial liberty consistent with good order aud the supremacy of the law. The reception of the resolutions was enthusiastic and the}' were adopted unanimously by a rising vote. For secretary of state Col. J. El. Mc- Conlogue, of Mason City, was nominated on the first ballot. S. P. Vandyke, of Benton county, was nominated by ac clanunntum for auditor. For state treas urer Charles Ruesnitz won on the first ballot. "Judge Ezra Willard. of Atlan tic, was nominated for attorney general. For railroad commissioner W. G. Kent, of Fort Madison, was nominated. Judge Nathaniel French, of Davenport, and W. W. Wilmer, of l)es Monies, were nominated by accumulation for electors at-large. FIRST GUN IN ILLINOIS.

Sheppard, who travels for McKibben & Co., St. Paul, and who was mixed up in the shooting affair at Cataract Tues day night, returned here today. His side of the story puts an entirely dif ferent look on the affair. On returning to his room Tuesday night to retire he found the door leading to the adjoining room open. He stepped to the door and asked the occupant of the room, Mrs. Archie Mackey, a divorcee of New York «ity, if she knew the door was open. He received a shot from a revolver for an answer. The hotel was aroused and ay, explanation given. It was not satis factory to the proprietors of the hotel, and Mrs. Mackey was ordered from the house and is now boarding at another place. It is rumored here that as soon as the fair divorcee secures her release from Mackey she will wed a young man of this city named Paul VVilkes. Young Wilkes : parents are greatly opposed U> the match.

The Magnate Practically Stands Pat and Holds His Position. Finally the Whole Affair Is Bundled Back to Com mittee. The special meeting of the common council held last evening to consider street railway matters resulted in a big talk, and the entire matter was again referred back to the special committee to negotiate again with Mr. Lowry. The street railway magnate, accompanied by Vice President Goodrich. Attorneys H. .). Horn and M. D. Munn, was in at tendance, but, except when asked for certain details, none of the representa- f^^^ flow lif I till t I xS^"~" N > u' r TlTrn~ — i T~ — — " fives of the company except Mr. Lowry took part in the discussion. Mr. V;.n Slyke, as a member of the special committee, started the discus sion by saying the committee had prac tically settled all matters referred to ii with the exception of the Como ques tion. Instead of sending the last com munication of Mr. Lowry back, his idea, had he been advised of the letter, would have been to have the committee lirst submit a report to the council. The re sults brought about by the efforts of the committee were as follows: On the Fort Snelling line through cars ev ery forty minutes running around tbe loop. On the Jackson street line cars every fif teen minutes to Acker street and hourly trips to Jessimene street- On the ilaie street line an adjustment to fifteen-minute service was being made. As to the Stryker and Maria avenue lines the committee hart decided or agreed to ex tend ilie time lor construction to July. 1893 The only question at issue was the Como park matter. Mr. Lowry, he un derstood, was willing to build "a double track to the park, put up a pavilion and electric lights, and aiso put a lleet of boats on the lake. The committee had also decided to grnnt Mr. Lowry a right of way tlirouuh the Dark. In his" opinion the attractions at the park could not be made to pay for more than three months. No one, under the circum stances, would, he said, do as much in this direction or as well as Mr. Lowrj would. Aid. Zimmerman said Mr. Van Slyke had stated the work of the committee correctly, but Mr. Lowry had declined the proposition submitted. He thought it would be best to talk the matter over and get expressions from other members of the council. Mr. Lowrj Talks. Mr. I.owry, being called on, said he was clad to be present. No one could have been more surprised than ho was when he read the letter sent to him in reuly. He intended no personal reflec tion on any member of the committee when he alluded to burdens being put on the company to subserve private ends. The explanation made by a St. Paul paper had explained his views as well as he could himself. The exten sions of many, and he might say nearly all, of the street railway lines had been made to subserve private ends. In this connection he mentioned lines con structed to subserve the private inter ests of Rev. John Ireland, Thomas Coehran Jr., P. T. Kavanagh, William Dawson and others. The language used was not intended to apply to the members of the committee. Mr. Warren, one of the committee, had, on account of owning property in the Como district, been .misunderstood, but he would frankly say Mr. Warren had acted against his own interests in the committee in order to agree with the other members. The gentlemen who had taken umbraee at his letter lie hoped would accept his apology. The street railway company were always willing to make concessions, and the in tention was to give their patrons in St. Paul the best possible service. He was ready and willing to answer all ques tions put to him, and hoped for an amicable adjustment o£ all matters. Mr. Ingersoll said, as maker of the motion asking to have the letter re turned, he was glad to hear the expla nation. The letter was written to the council, and the members did not repre sent'any individual, but the city. The construction of the letter, according to Mr. Lowry's explanation, was the same as he had anticipated. He had not been present at the meetings and his absence from the city prevented him reading the papers. He thought this meeting would be of great good. He hoped some thing would be accomplished. Mr. Zimmerman said he was willing to accept Mr. Lowry : s statement. He had no'private interest to subserve, and lte thought Mr. Lowry had put the proper construction on it. Mr. Van SlyKe waated to hear an expression from the other 'Members regarding Como, so the c« mmittee could know what to do. ~!\r Aid. Franklin's [Tsaal Kick. ;_t There was a pause of fully five min utes, during.which Mr. liightner, chair man of the r - meeting, took occasion to say* several times there was nothing be fore the K&use. "■ " - Aid. Franklin said he could not see wpere t r as Mr. Van Slyke had stated,* the committee had arrived ; at ;. any results. About the only thing he could see as a x^sult was a decrease of the number or cars on the Selby avenue line and a slight increase ou the Fort Snelling linp, Mr. Young had promised increased ser vice on the State street line, and his constituents had been to see him about such promises. Mr. Lowry said, in general terms, the system was being given a general over hauling. Where needed it was being -o- vf^CoVV Jit increased, and where not, decreased. The Rondo and Lafayette lines were run together.. He thought the Lafay ette line needed an increase. The Fort Snelling line was improved by through cars every forty minutes. On the State street line through cars would soon be run. On East Seventh &ix-minute serv ice with connection with Maria avenue cars every other car was to be made. Whether the negotiations went on or not these matters would be attended to. On the Grand avenue line, he had been informed by Mr. Cochran, the service was good. Cars are now run through on the Grand aveuue Hue half-hourly around the loop. Mr. lngersoll asked that the former service be restored on the east end of the Grand avenue line. The crowded condition of the cable line made stand ing room only on the Grand avenue line. He didn't want the loop business, as it did not prove satisfactory. Mr. Lowry said he w%B not familiar with details, but it was the intention to give patrons of each line the best serv ice possible. Everybody's Turn. Mr. lngersoll said the tracks on Ram sey street were in bad condition. Mr. Mann, one of the road's attorneys, rode over the line and could substantiate his statements. The council had directed the company to run cars every seven minutes on ttie Grand avenue line, and he wanted to know how the line paid. Mr. Lowry thought it didn't pay. The company could not say just when a definite statement could be made, but probably in ten days or two weeks. At Mr. Van Slyke's request, Mr. Lowry said he was willing to build a single track this fall to Como, double track it next year before July 1, build a pavilion, put on row boats and provide attractions, music, etc. For this he wanted right of way through the park, and this was in connection with change in the transfer system. The line, he said, would lose money. The only thing that would, make it pay was to get crowds there. The teason why the pro vision was put in the present contract that the lake should be raised to the height as in ISSS was because it was decided there must be some altera tion in order to make the road a success. The company could not agree to build lines unless there were some alterations. If the city, park board or individuals would agree to put up a pavilion and furnish music and boats the company would build. If the attractions were furnished the compauy would build tho lines to Como park. Company Will Do Either. Mr. Lowry said he wanted to be un derstood. If the city park board or citizens would make attractions ac the lake the company would build lines and ask for ho transfer concessions. Mr. Pike wanted to know if the correspond ence between Mr. Lowry and the com mittee had been ended by the last letter of Mr. Lowry. Mr. Lowry said the way it stood now was he had the letter of the committee and they had returned his answer. He had it in his pocket, and he was not goins to send it bac k tonight. At the interrogation of Mr. Pike Mr. Lowry said that the chansres made were not under any understand ing with the committee, but partly as a suggestion, and with a view of giving patrons good service. Mr. Lowry said the Selby avenue line was one of the most profitable and pay ing lines in the city. He didn't think any patron of the Selby avenue line would know whether cars were run every four or five minutes un less told. Mr. Lowry said if the city and council would let them alone the company, he believed, would stand pat. Regarding the great bonanza the Selby avenue lire was considered, he said there were lines in Minneapolis that paid 50 per cent better than the Selby avenue line, and there was no live-minute time table in Minneapolis. These facts could be ascertained by reference to the boots aud time tables in Minneapolis. Mr. Johnson said he did not think there was any difference between the council and Mr. Lowry except on the Como question. There was uo need of a special meetins:, he thought, to nave Grand avenue cars run around the loop. He knew, of his own knowledge, that such minor matters could be at tended to without calling special meet ings. The only thing to do was to have some public-spirited citizen build the pavilion and furnish attractions, and then Mr. Lowry would build the lines. Mr. lngersoll said if there was a chance for an amicable settlement he •I. , jff l\ f LOWBY APPEAKS AND THE COUNCIL EVAPOKATES. would be in favor of sending the matter back to the committee. Mr. Lowry said when he left the committeee the last time he thought everything had beeu agreed upon. Told, an Anecdote.

The Democrats of the Fourth con gressional district of Minnesota believe in rewarding faithful and conscientious work, and went on record that way yes terday in the most harmonious and en thusiastic congressional convention that has been held in the state in re cent years. Not only was there no op- Ik wHYBU/M \ • I \ I l ' position to Mr. Castle, but thera was a desire manifest to give him the renomi natiou that he had earned in a way that would show that the Democracy of the district felt glad to be able tore ward him iv this way. Although the convention was not large in point of numbers it was a thor oughly Democratic Catherine, and it did not take more than the mention of a basic pi-incinlo *»f the parly >r the name of Cle v ela d, a /ler orCals le to uncork the eiituusiasui of the delegates, who would make old Market halt resound with their cheers. The chairman of the convention, that venerable and faithful exponent of Democracy, Col. Levi W. Folsom, of Taylor's Falls, set the J>all rolling: with a brief address, filled with the spirit of Democracy. His arraign ment of the controlling forces In the Re publican party was a first-class piece x>f work and demonstrated that the young Democrats of today are wise in calling to their councils men of the stamp of Col. Folsom. Hon. Dan W. Lawler, the next gov ernor of tiie state, was called for. and when he arose in his place in the dele gation, there was more enthusiasm to the square inch than Market hall ever held before. This did not subside until v*V LA' i/M^ «M *" *{/ A. /" XI \ ''. LwiFo\so-nj ill. "nl jl- fnakesa-' Mr. Lawler had stepped upon the plat form. Like the venerable chairman Mr. Lawler was brief, but his speech was an admirable picture of the situation in this state with the reasons he had for believing that victory is assured for both the national and the state tickets in November. He paid a deserved and graceful tribute to Congressman Castle and predicted his triumphant election. Congressman Castle believes in stand ing squarely on his record in this cam paign, and when he was called to the platform he made a report covering the main portions of his work during hie first session in congress. In a modest manner he pointed out what he had done for St. Paul, and promised, if re elected, that no effort would be spared to get for St. Paul and the Fourth dis trict such legislation as will best pro mote their interests. "Aside from matters of special legis lation," he said, "I find that tiiis was not difficult. Whatever is for the in terests of the Northwest is for the in terests of St. Paul. If the farmers of the Northwest are prosperous St. Paul will thrive." Called to Order. The delegates were promptly on hand, and shortly after 12 o'clock, the hour named in the call, Secretary Nethaway, of the congressional committee, mounted the platform and rapped the body to order. He stated that Chairman Brun son had unexpectedly been kept at home by business and had requested him to act in his stead. The call was read and the election of a temporary chairman declared to be in order. J. G. Donnelly, of .Ramsey, nominated Col. Levi W. Foisom, of Taylor's Falls. W. P. Pur ray moved that Mr. Foisom be elected by acclarnmation, which was carried with great enthusiasm, which was only heightened by the appearance of the venerable sage of Ohisago county. Upon taking tne platform, Col. Foisom deliv ered a splendid address on the issues of the day. "The Democratic party is the party of the people," said Mr. Foisom, "ana whenever it nominates a man or takes a stand it is for the interests of the people ami we are leady to Congressman Castle Makes a great acceptance speech. GLOBE WANTS Speak to all classes of people every day. 232. stand or fall by our principles . With such, leaders as we have how can we fail?" ' Urover Cleveland and Dan W. Lawler wera mentioned by the chairman.a nd the entire hall was tilled with the shouts of the dele* dates. -1 "When the Republican party wanted to fia up the financial system of this country what did they dot'" asked Mr. Folsom. "Thej sent for the bankers and the bondholders and they did the work. When they wanted U Mn. m. wiiiisi In: fey- "n°^'n.ite,s ■■'■ \ I / 3 A ( 'p ri F~ v s^^ i j I pass a tariff bill they did not send for the larmer, but they did send for the manufac turers. Gov. McKinley did not get up the law which beftrs his name; the manufactur ers of the country did the work." Thomas J. Brady was elected tempo* rary secretary, and the temporary or ganization was made permanent. The chairman was authorized to appoint a committee of five on credentials. This work was performed by the appoint ment of W. P. Murray, of Ramsey, J. D. Markham, of Chisago; it W. Safford, of Kanabec; .1. G. Donnelly, of Ramsey, and John J. Stinson, Washington. The appointment of a committee on resolutions was authorized, and the chairman named C. E. Flandreau C. H. Benedict and P. T. Kavanagh, of Ram sey; M. Shepard and Dan McCormack, of Chisago; J. T. Nethaway, of Wash ington, and It. W. Safford, of Kanabec-. The committees on credentials and resolutions retired to perform their du ties, and the delegates manifested a de sire for some good speechmalciug. air. liawler Talks, "1 move that the next governor of Minnesota be invited to address this convention," said \V. P. Murray. Amid great applause Dan W. Lawler walked up the aisle. Mr. Lawler was at his best, and while his remarks were brief, they were to the point, and save a clear outline of the issues of the campaign. •The Democracy of Minnesota enters this fight with Hie inspiring fact that there is an absolute majority on that side." he said. ''Two years ago the peojile of this state voted on the only question that will be discussed in this campaign, the tariff ouestion, and there has been no reason for theiu to change. Although the Republican leaders of this slate Hare been writing Democratic editor ials and making: Democratic speeches during the last lew years, but the Republican party of this state is subject to and a part of the Republican party of the nation." "so fur as your congressional district is concerned," he continued. "There is no fear of the result. I am told there is but one name mentioned, that of the man who. when the people arose in their might two years a^o, was sent to congress by a majority ol thousands. I believe the people of this dis trict will repeat their work of two years ago, and that Hon. J. V Castle, of still water, will continue to represent this district." The platform came next,and was read by Judge Flamlrau, the chairman of the committee on resolutions. The plat form is a model of terseness and clear ness. It covers the entire around with" out going around Robin Hood's barn. It follows: Kinging Resolutions. This convention approves and indorses, without qualification and with entire satis faction, t he platform of principles adopted by the national Democratic convention re cently held iv Chicago, and especially those declarations of principle therein contained referring to the tariff and force bill, and cn tbusiastieally approves the nominees of thai convention for president and vice president of the United States. We also fully indorse and approve the plat form adopted by the Democratic state con* vention of Minnesota, recently held at Min neapolis, and the candidates for the several suite officers nominated by that convention. Resolved, That the work of our meiiiber of congress, lion. James N. Castle, during the term ho is now serving in the congress of the United States, meets with our cordial com mendation, and in welcoming him home we unanimously say, "Well done good and faith ful servant." Castle Nominated. The nomination of a candidate for congress came next and the elo quent and scholarly Julian W. Willis walked up the aisle and toolc his place upon the platform. Mr. Wil lis is an inspiring, graceful and forcible speaker at all times and under all cir cnufttances, but he is at his best when he undertakes to speak before a politi cal convention! His knowledge of the principles ami history of the Democratic party is broad in the extreme. Indeed, it is not too much to say that he is one of the best posted men in the state upon. the political issues now before the coun try, as well as upon those that have di vided the political parties in the past. He plants his Democracy firmly upon the constitution. And Mr. Willis was at his best yesterday; he placed Mr. Castle before the convention in a mas terly manner. "My very pleasurable duty on this occa sion," began" >Ir. Willis, ''has been in a meas ure anticipated by the very eloquent remarks of my friend, Uov. Lawler." The principles and doctrines of the two great parties were touched upou at length. The origin of the Rg-viv^L op The. \ /^ i^^' feopi_e.'s FhvoaiTe.V«-^r---^ o^§&^ Democratic party, Mr. Willis declared, was coincident with the adoption of the consti tution. Hamilton and bis followers thought the people could not be trusted, while Mr. Jefferson and his followers took the opDosite view. 'Tho party," said Mr. Willis, -'takes the same position as the old Feder»lisiH, that the government shaii tako care of ihe rich and the rich will take care of the poor. The Democratic party, on tho
