LONDON', August 25.?A dispatch to Aj
the Standard from Madrid by way of ed
France cays: A very unfavorable lm- Cfl
presslon has been caused In Madrid by
telegrams attributing to President McKlnley
the Intention of Instructing the ye
peace commissioners to Insist upon the h
cession of Luzon, that American com- gl;
merce should have the same footing as _
the Spanish In the Philippines, and that dIi
Spain should pledge Itself that none of
the Spanish colonies should he ceded to efl
European powers.
If such are me intexruono ut iua ??
United States government the negotia- (
lions are sure to be laborious, even If
an understanding is ever arrived at. th
The Spaniards consider the cession of tr<
Luzon, their best and most Important
island to be a death blow to their pres- vj,
tlpe in these regions, and would be lr- in
rctrfevably weakened and crippled br ha
the presence of Americans In the heart JJJ
of their colonies. Nothing could be wj
better calculated than the pretensions mi
attributed to America to develop In J J
Spain the visible growing desire to oon
cede all connection with the Philippines co
and thus oblige the United States gov- vvl
ernment to assume the burden of the Jjj
responsibilities of their government or
which would likely create conflicts with hi:
--- ? ? A ? 1-- <Ol

the United States more trouble in the
pacification of Cuba." Even the lower ]
and middle classes seem to think this, M
and thus In both directions Spain would
amply make America pay for the ^
wrongs Inflicted. foi

DAYTON, 0., Aug. 24.?The Democratic
etaXe convention to-day noml- t
nated the following ticket: Secretary of ?
state, Upton K. Guthrie, of Marlon; *
Judge of supreme court, Hugh G. Nlohols,
of Clermont; clerk of aupretne court, lf
rtnvIA R. irtahftr. nf Dpi a ware: food and V
dairy commissioner, John Baker, ot *
Hancock; member ot the board of pubHo
work* T. DwJffht Paul, of Sumtnltt tl
county.
The convention adjourned at 5 p. m>, 1'
after being In continuous session all ti
day. There were no Incidents of special o
Interest after the contest between Joseph S
P. Dowllng snd Allen O. Myers had
been declared a draw In the Interest of *
harmony. s
The effort to get a new plan of party v
organization In Ohio failed of final adoption,
but it was given another chance ti
by such reference as wllj bring It up P
next year. The new organization seems b
to satisfy those working for the noml- o
nation of Paul J. Sorg for governor next c
year and not displeasing to the McLean, <1
Brlce or other elements, and the cam- n
palgn this year wlH be made on the *
Hanna Issue and next year on Senator li
Poraker for not taking steps against n
Hanna. While the resolutions do not lj
favor unlimited colonial expansion the
chairman of the convention said the h
platform meant to expand by the con- a
sent of those to be governedi The most a
decisive feature of the convention was v
Its preference for Bryan in 1900 on the tl
lame platform as In 1896. - o
The resolutions adopted, reaffirm the h
Chicago platform and say "we particularly
endorse the financial plank therein s
declaring for the free and unlimited 1
coinage of silver and gold at the ratio of *1
16 to 1 independent of any and all other o
nations." t
"We are proud of the patriotic conduct o
In peace and in war of that brave leader C
of Democracy William J. Bryan, and fa
we favor his renomi nation for President
in 1900."
The platform favors an income tax *
md thanks the minority In Congress for
leeklng to secure "a just distribution of
the war taxation equally upon wealth -A
ind corporations of the country as well si
is upon Its labor." 0
"We recognise the eternal truth that ?
life, liberty and the pursuit of happl- c
less is the natural and inalienable fieritage
of all mankind, and elnie the hand t<
)f despotism has been lifted from the rr
aland of Cuba, dominated by Spain, we al
rhould afford its inhabitants an untram- *
meled opportunity to establish a free tl
inu inucpenuciii u/timiunviiuii nu?c>?nent,
deriving its powers from the con- jj
lent of the governed^ and we remind the
tturotry that Congress In the resolutions it
vhlch declared war, resolved, "that the Jj
United States hereby disclaims any dls- 0I
position or Intention to exercise aover- *v
slgnty, jurisdiction or control over said Jj
aland except for the pacification there- ?]
>f and asserts Its determination, when el
that is accomplished, to leave the gov- **
jrnmcnt and control of the Island to Its p
people" and we believe that until the <]
people of the Islands of Cuba and the a
Philippines redeemed from Spanish ?
lomlnatlon, declare otherwise,we should h
teep the faith upon which the war was tc
begun and prosecuted."
The resolutions favor the building of w
3ie Nicaragua canal, enlarging the mill- rr
:la of all states, and redudng the stand- P'
ng army, and oppose alliance with Eng- 1
land or any other foreign power, and s<
lemand that the United States senate ?<
