e.icept the minister and his suite and then it
proposed to abrogate every treaty over en
tered Into with the Chinese Empire. The
United States could not airord to take this
action against the most powerful ot nations
in point of numbers on tbo globe. It was
bad faith. Wo ought to keep good faith
with ovcry nation, whether it be great or
email.
Mr. Hltt of Illinois said that wo had had

which bad so utterly dlsregorded and vio
lated national faith with a cold perfidy.
Mr. Ooary said that whenever a foreign

The report of Treasurer Ward shows a

THE Y. M. C. A.
Dinner Given by I'reslilent Van Pntton on
X1U Itntlrmiiotit Intnrostlng Speeches,
Tba Young Men's Christian association
building was the scene of a plonsant social
event Monday evening, tbe occasion being tbo
dinner given to the officers, directors and
friends ot the association by Mr. W, J,
Van Patten on bis retirement from the
office ot president. Tho rooms wero hand
somely decorated with floworfng plants, palms
nud cut llowers and presented an elegant
a i well as homelike appearance. Nearly
100 parsons wero present, representing the
various professions and varied businees In
terests ot our city. The guests were cor
dially weloomed by President Van Patten
and attor a brief sonsou devotnl to tbe ex
change of social courtesies they were ushered
into tbe lecture room wbioh bad boen trans
formed into on attractive banquet hall.
After grace had boen said by Kev. Mr.
Roberts of the First Baptist oburcb, tbo
dinner was served in coursos under the
direction of Mr, II. N. Coon, who was aided
by an efficient corps of waiters, Tho bill
ot fare was an excellent one and tbe dinner,
It Is safe to say, was fully enjoyed by nil.
At tbe conclusion of tbe biinnuot Mr.
Van Patton rapped tho tables to order and
expressed bis gratification at tho presence of
so many friends. Ho was glad that the
time had come when ho could lay aside his
work with tho feeling that It had been ac
complished and be was confident there were
many present who could take up tho work
wbero be bad loft oil. lie spoko of his
early life in Burlington, ot the changes that
bad taken place, of tbe work that bad beon
accomplished by tbe Young Men's Chrlstiau
association, and of its benefits to tbe young
men and boys of Burlington, tbo develop
ment of tbe social movement, and the insti
tutional work. Ho said that bo had good
news for the association. During his recent
vacation ho called upon Mr. John H. Con
verse of Philadelphia, who has already dono
so much for Burlington and statod the needs
of tbe association. Mr. Converse very
easily and gracefully donated $5000 to be
applied to tbe bonded dobt of the associa
tion. This announcement was received
with hearty applause.
Mr. C. P. Smith said that in tho absencu
of Gen. William Wells, it devolved upon him
to proside. Ifo also bad good news tor those
present and he proceeded to tell bow Mr.
Van Patten who bad already contributed
largely to tho association had decided to
give it $5000 more. Tbeso two donations
placed the board of trustees in far better
sbapo than they bad expected to be in, aud
their dark days wore over.
Ex-Lleut.-Gov. Wcodbury was called
upon by Mr. Smith to give his impression of
tho work of tbo association from the stand
point of a business man. Col. Woodbury
said that ha felt a strong degree of self-re
proach that ho bad done so little for the as
sociation while Mr, Vuu Patteu had done so
much and he thought tbnt other residents
must experience tlio same feeling. The
thrift of a city was judged of
by its public buildings and tho
. M. C, A. building served to
give a metropolitan air to our city.
He spoko of the benefits of the
association to Burlington and especially of
its beneficial inlluence upon tba chnractor
of our young mou. He closed with a tribute
to Mr. an Patten's services aud reference
to tbo workjwbich remained for others to do.
President Buckham, who was next callod
upon said that ho camo to the banquet with
a feeling of sadness over the retirement of
Mr. Van Patten. He had found a bright
sldo to it, however, in tbo thought that Mr.
Van Patten would still be a help to the as
sociation. Ho spoke of tho succession ot
good meu whose work bnd been accomplished
in this city, lie thought the association
bad done somuthing for Mr. Van Patten
who bad grown spiritually as well as intel
lectually under Its inlluence. President
Buckuam referred also to tbo gratifying
fact that so few of our business meu wero
unworthy men and to tbe excellent moral
conditions whioh provailod here. Fully UOO
young men cotno hero auuually nnd almost
tbo first tbiug that greets them is tho Y. M.
C. A. reception. Almost before they know
it they are socuro on the sldo of virtue and
good habits.
Rev. Mr. Dewhurst said he did not see
bow tho association could got aloug without
Mr. van l'atten; but it was impossible for
a mother to forget her child and so it would
bo impossible for Mr. Van Patten to toi-got
tho association. Ho thought it was a great
thing in this age to find a man genuinely
ontbusiastic. He spoko of tbo value ot asso
ciation work, of its inlluence in erasing de
nominational lines and of tho appreciation
of the full significance of tho association's
services.
Hou. Daniel Roberts was introduced ns
ono who kept young through Ills sympathy
with young men. He spoke ot the work of
the association and referred to the building
ns a fitting monument to Mr, Van Patten's
services. He made several Latin quotations
appropriate to the occasion und bis remarks
wers pleasantly received.
Treasurer H. L. Ward was called upon to
give n few figures which ho did lifter brief
Introductory romarks. Ho said that tbo
association property had coat $107,000, of
which &!S,000 had been received from
subscriptions, if 12,000 had come from Mr.
Van Patteu, tho insurance on the property
burned wna $10,000 nnd tbe bonded debt
was $50,000. Mr. Van Patten's last gift
reduced tbe lloatiug debt so that only about
$1000 romuiued to be provided for,
Mr, Smith said thero wui a deficit ot
if 1000 lu tho current expenses, so that tbe
sum of 2000 was to be raised by friouds of
tho association to place the association in
tbo condition in which Mr. Van Patten
would liko to lenvo it. Ho said that Mr.
Vnu Patten held It to be a parfot the ex
pense of living iu Burlington to contribute
to tbe support of tho Y. M, C. A.
Mr. Van Patton again thanked the guests
of tbe oventug for their presence aud attor
pleasantly reminding tlum of tbo needs of
tbe association bade them good night,

their reasons for revolt against tlio bossism

president of the Erio county democracy, ths
now oignui.atlon formed by tbe Cleveland
men, called tbe moetiug to order and nom
inated Mayor Cbarlos F. Bishop to pren.le.
Mayor Bishop reviewed the action orth
Hill party in calling tho midwinter conven
tion und in electing national delegates there
at, and claimed that every resolution nud
speech at that convention completely ig
nored ox-President Clovelaud. Ho said that
whon party leaders ntteiiistod to Use tho
parly to further their personal ends, ihoy
bould be rebuked.
A list ot 250 vice-presidents was read aud
resolutions were adopted. Tho resolution
emphatically condemn the political metb. dt
which have resulted in foisting upon tbo
democratic party of this State a so-ca led
delegation to tho national convention v.-hi'-u
actually misrepresents tbe groat body of
tbo party in tho State: ratifies tho call for

tbo delegates there chosen to rtpruient tba
party at tbe national convention; that what
ever may bavo been the estimation in which
Se.iator Hill bas been held in tbo past by
tbe democrats of this State, it is now
evident that tbo courso ho has pursued
with reference to the vital issues ot tariff
reform and houest luonoy, his unscrupu! jus
political methods In this btato last Novem
ber, bis unseemly and disgraceful efforts to
obtaiu tho presidential nomination and bi
continued nnd coutcmptous neglect of sena
torial duty bavo estranged from hiB support
nine-tenths of tbe democratic voters in tho
Stoto and his nomination or tbe nomination
of any man supposed to be subject to hit
influence or control, would rosult in tho
overwhelming defeat of tho national ticket
in tho State.
Mr. Thorne denounced Hill's courso a3
foolish aud mischievous and likely to causo
disaster to tho party. Ho declared that
Hill was not a true democrat, but be con
trolled tbe February convention.
Ex-Socrotary Fairchild explaiued that'
every memuo.- of a party has a riht
to bo represented and if ho believes that
any delegation does not represent him, he
has n right to be represented by a contest
