The socretary read the resolutions adopted at the conference held in Chicago July 23 by ten middle western states, the object of which was to arrange for the holding of another Democratlo national convention at which an independent gold Democratic ticket should bo named. Outh walte moved that a committee . of five should be at once appointed whoso duty it should bo to select a time and placo for the convention. There was loud cheorlng over this motion. Delegate Martin sec onded the motion and It was passed unan imously. The chairman then appointed tho com mittee as follows: James 11. Outhwaite, of Ohio; Charles Tracey, of New York: J. H. Falkner, of Alabama; F. W. Mc- Cutcheon, o( Minnesota, and L. C. Kraut- hofi, of Missouri. Indianapolis Gets tho Convention. The states were called for the location of the convention. Colonol D. W.

The visitors flllod the assembly room. Senator John M. Palmer was given an ovation when ho entered the hall. It was announced at tho afternoon session that General Bragg was delayed by a washout on the Pennsylvania. At the night session the announcement was made that he could not get here. General Chas. Tracey stated that they had taken meas ures to perpetuate tho greatest of all par ties, and needod the foremost of leaders. He nominated John M. Palmer for chair man of tho national committee. Palmer was selected unanimously. Ho said he sympathized most earnostly in the pur pose or the meeting. The Chicago conven tion had forgotten the honor as well as the principles of tho Democratic party. John It. Wilson, of Indiana, was elected secretary; John P. Fronzel, of Indiana, treasurer. John H . Outhwaite, of Ohio, as chairman of the committee on a call for the National convention and plan of or ganization, reported tho following, which was repeatedly fciterruptcd by applause In its reading and adopted unanimously. It is addressed "To the Democrats of the United States:" 'A political party has always been de fined to be an association of voters to pro mote the success of political principles held in common. The Democratic party, during its whole history, has been plcdgod to promote the liberty of the Individual. the security of private rights and property, and the supremacy of the law. "It has always insisted upon a safe and table money for the people's uso. It has Insisted upon the maintenance of the financial honor of the nation, as well as upon the preservation Inviolate of tho in stitutions established by tho constitution. These, Its principles, were abandoned by the supposed representatives of the party at a national convention recently as sembled at Chicago. The Democratlo party will therefore cease to exist unless it bo preserved by the voluntary action of such of its members as still adhere to the fundamental principles. No majority of the members of the convention, however large, had any right or power to sur render those principles. When they un dertook to do so that assemblage ceased to be a Democratic convention. The action taken, the Irregular pro ceedings, and tho platform enunciated by that body were and are so utterly and in defonsibly revolutionary, and constitute such radical departures from the princi ples of tho Democracy, which should characterize a sound and patriotic admin istration of our country's affairs, that Its results are not entitled to the confidence or support of true Democrats. For the first time since national parties were formed there Is not before the American people a platform declaring the principles of the Democratlo party as recognized and most courageously and consistently ad ministered by Jefferson, Jackson and Cleveland. "Nor are the tomlnecs for the offices of preKldent and vlco president of tho United States pledged to carry those principles into practical effeot. The faithful and true Demoorats of tho United States are determined that their principles shall not be ruthlessly surrendered, nor the people be deprived of an opportunity to vote for candidates in accord therewith. Therefore, the national Democratlo party of the United States, through its regularly constituted committee, hereby culls a national convention of that party for the announcement of its platform and the nomination of candidates for the of fices of president and vice president of the United States and the transaction of such business as is Incidental thereto, to bo held at Indianapolis, Wednesday, the 2d day of beptembor, 1890, at 13 o clock noon, and horoby requests that the members of the party In the several states who believe in sound money and the preservation of law and order, and who are unalterably op posed to the platform adopted and candi dates nominated at Chicago; will select In such manner as to them shall seem best a number of delegates to the same equal to twice the number of electoral votes to which suoh states are respectively entitled. "Such delegates shall be duly accred ited, according to tho usages of the Demo cratic party. Their credentials shall be forwarded or delivered to the secretary of this committee with all convenient speed, and this committee will make up and an nounce the roll of the delegates entitled to participate in the preliminary organiza tion or the convention." On motion of Outhwaite Chairman Palmer was directed to appoint an execu tive committee of nine who should take charge of the campaign of the National Democratlo party at once and report to the general national committee of the new party at a meeting to bo held in Indiana- polls Tuesday, Sept. 1, the day preceding the national convention. By resolution this executive committee was directed at the earliest practicable day to issue an ad dress to the Democracy of tho country, setting forth, its purposes and plans. Tho general conMiittee at 10:15 adjournod to meet In Indianapolis Tuesday, Sept. 1. A socret conference was then held at Senator Palmer's room over the selection of the nine members of the executive committee. At 12 o'clock last night Chairman Pal mer announced his executive committee as follows: J. M. Falkner, Alabama; John P. Hopkins, Illinois; W. D. Bynum, Indiana; W. B. Haldeman, Kentucky; F. W. Lehman, Missouri; F. W. McCutch eon, Minnesota; Charles Tracey, New York; Samuel Holding, Ohio: Ellis B, Usher, Wlsoonsln. Tho exeutlvo commit tee will meet today to elect a chairman. Chairman Palmer is a member of tho executive committee ex officio. SWAP COMPLIMErTS AT CANTON. Dryan Committee Visits McKlnley Recep tion of the Democratlo Leader. Canton, O., Aug. 11. The first thing of Interest fn this town yesterday, the day tho Nebraska candidate for tho presidency was to stop at tho home of the Ohio can didate, was the arrival in town of a com mltteo from Pittsburg which, getting here too early, put in tho time with a visit to the major, who rocolved thom courtoously and thanked them for their visit. They told him that tho candidate for president of tho United States was always a man whom it was an honor to know, and he told them that all parties desired tho honor and prosperity of the American government and people Among the distinguished callers on Ma jor McKlnley wero tho Hon. Richard P. and Mrs. Bland. They came hero with the committee from Pittsburg. Mr. and Mrs, Bland had gone to Alliance, a city twenty miles east of here, ahead of the Bryan party, as it was a part of the programme to have a speech of some length at that place by Bryan. While there Bland was told that an address would bo made hero, and ho was prevailed upon by the Pitts burg commltteo to return to Canton. Tho time spont at tho McKlnley home by Mr. and Mrs. Bland was apparently very agreeable to both tho honored callers and to Major and Mrs. McKlnley. These wero the preliminaries to the ar rival hero of the Democratic candidate, whose train rolled into tho station at 12:20 and was received by a very large crowd from this city and tho surrounding coun try. Bryan spoke from a car near tho sta tion and said a number of pleasant and graceful things about his political oppo nent. He did not forget, however, to say that this was a campaign of principles, not men, and likened himself to tho Good Samaritan who rescued the man who had fallen among thieves, tho inevitable logio of which was that McKlnley was one of thoso who "passed by on the other sldo' and tho American poople was tho man fallen among thieves. Ho said that thero wero plenty of his own neighbors who would vote against him at Lincoln, Neb., and he only hoped that every man would feel free to vote as he pleased. He was loudly cheered at the close of his spoech, which was mado at a point of much interest on his Journey from Chicago eastward. The whole trip up to this point had been like the one west of Chicago, a very gratifying one to Bryan. All through Indiana there had been' crowds at each station and when Ohio was reached there were crowds at Dixon, Delphos, Lima, Lafayette, Bucyrus, Crestline and elsewhere. At several of the towns he made brief speeches and at all ho was enthusiastically cheered. New York, Aug. 12. Mr. Bryan and party arrived hero at 8 o'clock Tuesday evening and was met by Vice Presiden tial candidate Sewall, Chairman Jones and others. THE DEATH RECORD. Gkorqk T.

On one of the cold, rainy days of tho past week a Washington Star reporter was on a car on the Pennsylvania ave nue line coming down Capitol hill. There was a pretty good load of passen gers.. It was cold, wet and uncomfort able Inside of the car, and the rain beat a tattoo on the windows without that brought anything but pleasant reflec tions to the passengers who would have to face it, At the Peace monument there was a big reenforcement of pas sengers. They piled In very uncere moniously, bringing with rhem a rush of cold air and scattering showers of spray from their soaked garments. In the -d which got aboard was a worn a baby in her arms. The worn: was rather poorly and thinly clad d had no umbrella. There was some -olay In her getting a seat and she looked decidedly forlorn and help lees trying to maintain her balance and at the same time look out for her child. But with all the environment calcu lated to make men mean and surly 6ome one had enough gallantry In spite of the weather to offer her a seat. But mother and child got many a reproving look from the other passengers. Those who were In an ugly mood on account of their unpleasant surroundings found It very soothing to their ruffled feeling to think, "Well, there's a bigger fool than I am," and one lady whispered to her neighbor loud enough to reach the ear of the writer: "The very Idea of taking a baby out in such a storm," and finished her sentence with a shrug of her shoulders which meant more than she said. But baby was wrapped up snug and warm in a blanket and Its mother, heedless of what her neigh bors might think, began to unroll the quaint covering to see how his diminutive majesty was, getting on. Everybody in the car was watching her with looks of mingled disapproval, and curiosity. She finally got the roll undone so that Mr. Baby's face became visible. And such a face as It was! There was probably never a more com pletely surprised set of people In that street car before. Baby was a real beauty of the sort that Is apparent to somebody else besides the mother. Such eyes, such dimples and, withal, such a bright, healthy, smiling face In all probability will never light up a simi lar occasion. Baby's appearance worked like a magic charm on the rest of the passengers. As soon .as his face was uncovered he took a survey of the passengers about him with owlish gravity. Then, as If struck by some highly ludicrous idea In the contem plation of the scene, he burst Into a great fit of baby laughter. He chir ruped and chuckled and kicked up his heels In such glee that Inside of a minute he had the entire car on his side. The scowling looks had all dis appeared as If by magic and people for got all about the disagreeable weather outside and their uncomfortable sur roundings within and Joined with baby In a broad smile at the novel situation. Somehow that baby's genuine, healthy and spontaneous good spirits had for the time put an entirely new phase on life for all who saw him. ANIMAL NOTES. Oysters live from ten to twelve years when they have the chance. In this country they don't have the chance. A dog fancier In New Haven is the owner of a black and tan dog which weighs not an ounce more than a pound and a half. The large horned beetle can carry 315 times Its own weight. One has been known to walk away with a 2 pound weight. A hen belonging to Joseph Bishop on Licking river, near Pleasant Valley, Ky., discovered a large bird's nest In the top of an apple tree, and flew up and deposited an egg in the nest. The eye of a cat, like that of the horse, is provided with a false eyelid, which may be moved Independently of the outer or true lid. It Is often em ployed by a cat when obliged to face a very bright light, and is believed to act as a shade. Live bees are sometimes shipped on Ice so as to keep them dormant during the Journey. This is particularly the case with bumblebees, which have been taken to New Zealand, where they are useful In fertilizing the red clover that has been introduced into the colony.
