Outhwalto of Ohio , as chairman of the committee on a call for the national convention and plan of organiza tion , reported the following , which was re- pcatcdly Interrupted by applause In Its read.

Its principles , vvero aban doned by thi' HUppo-sed representatives of the party at a national convention recently assembled nt Chicago. The democratic party will , therefore , cease to exlat unluss It bo preserved by the voluntary action of aitch of Its member * as still adhere to the fundamental principles. The majority of the members of that convention , however large , had no right or power to surrender those principle ! ) . \\'ln > n they undertook to do so that asspmblagu ceased to bu a demo cratic convention. The notion taken , the Irregular proceedings and the platform enunciated by that body vvoro and are utterly and Indefensibly revolutionary and constitute such radical departures from the prlnclplcH of true democracy , which should characterize a sound and pitrlotlc adminis tration of our country's affairs , that Its results nro not entitled to the confidence or support ot true democrats. Tor the Ilrst tlmo Hlnco national parties were formed there Is not before the American people n platform declaring the principles of the democratic party as recognized and most courageously jind consistently administered by Jefferson. Jackson and Cleveland , nor nro the nominees ) for the otllcea ot president nnd vice president of the United States pledged to carry those principles Into prac tical effect. The faithful and true demo crats of the 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 ) thn national democratic party of the UnlUd States , through Its regu larly constituted committee , hereby calls n national convention of that party for the enunciation of Its plat/orm and thn nom ination of candidates for the oMIccs of president and vlco president ot the United States nnd thn transaction of .such business ns Is Incidental thereto , to be held at In dianapolis on Wednesday , the 2d day of September , 1S30 , at 12 o'clock noon , and hereby requests that the members or the party In the several states who believe In sound money and the pre eivatlon of law and order and who are unalterably opposed to the platform adopted and candidates nominated at Chicago will select In such manner aa to them shall seem best a num ber of delegates to the same , equal to twice the number of representatives and senators to which they are respectively en titled Their credentials shall be forwarded or delivered to the secretary of this com mittee with all convenient speed ay dele gates entitled to pirtlclpito In the pre liminary organisation of the convention.

While the movement Is an outgrowth of the free silver clement controlling the Chicago convention of July 7 , It did not take organic form till after that conven tion , when an address was Issued and a conference held In Chicago July : ! - ' . On the following day a temporary plan was adopted under v\hlch the meeting Is held hero today. This temporary plan provided for an executive committee consisting of Bragg of Wisconsin.

Members of the executive committee held a short meeting this morning. John C. Uullltt ot Philadelphia said : "Tho democrats want nomethlng around which to rally. There Is a strong sentiment In Penn sylvania among the democrats against Bryan and free silver. " A. It. Utilllt said ho was of the determina tion to aid nnd glvo encouragement to the gold standard sentiment In whatever way It una posslhlc. r. W. Cutchron ot St. Paul , speaking from thn standpoint of Minnesota democrats , thought a third ticket nhould he named , provided It could he done without the elec tion of nryan. "H Is worth our while. " said he , "to maintain the democratic party. We Jo not ivant to be absorbed by the re publican party and therefore cannot vote for McKlnley. " Mr. Cutcheon said that In Minnesota a third ticket would draw , twelve democratic votes where MeKlnlcy would not draw one. For the third ticket he favored John O. Carlisle for president and H. S. UraRR for vice president , Hx-Congressman Outhwaltc of Columbus favored a third ticket , but has no choice of candidates. "The primary purpose of this movement , " said ho , "Is to preserve the democratic party and Its principles. This necessarily Involvca n defeat of the populist tlekct named by the Chicago convention " The hall In which the provisional dem ocratic gold convention assembled Is a small ono on tha top floor of the largo commer cial club bnlldlng In South Meridian str < et. T > o room Is a cozy one and looks more Ilko a parlor than an assembly room for executive tivo bodies. The capacity Is only about fifty. The floor Is oiled , all the furniture Is ef flno quartered oak and near the small stage nt the north end rugs nro lying. The room was decorated with bunting , damask nnd lace curtains hung at the windows and flowers and palms adorned every available space. Drover Cleveland's picture la hung directly bark of the presiding officer's stand and on cither side of It Is draped red , white and blue bunting. W. D. U > mim , the ex- congressman of Indiana , who has been ono of the prime promoters of the movement up to this tlmo , was busy abont the- hall , nn.l pending the arrival of General n. S. Brag , ? of Wisconsin and General Charles Tracey of New York he seemed to ho the ono most sought after for Information. At an Informal meeting of the committee held In the Dennlson hotel this afternoon it developed that the almost unanimous senti ment was In favor of another convention for the purpose of naming an Independent or third national democratic ticket. The ticket will be known as that of the national dem ocratic party. General Charles Tracey ? t- 'rlvccl from New York this afternoon and went immediately to the hotel , where the conference was In session. He Was accom panied by George W. Peabody of Brooklyn.

Washington special to the Globe-Democrat says : With all his uarade of patriotism Mr. Bryan Is not the friend of the English language , and his vote , twlco recorded In tbo Congressional Recoid of Juno 27 , 1894P , reporting the proceedings of the second session of the Fifty-third con gress , shows that he opposed the use of the English language in the public schools of Now Mexico. The question at the tlmo was on the ad mission of New Mexico to statehood under the bill Introduced by Delegate Joseph. Mr. Perkins of Iowa offered an amendment , which was accepted by Mr. Joseph , providing as follows : 4. That provision shall be mnde for the establishment nnd maintenance of a aystem of public schools , which shall be open to nil thu chlldien of said state and free fiom seotnrlnn control. This Mr. Smith of Illinois moved to amend by adding the words ; And In nil of which public schools the KiiKlHh language shall bo taught. Mr. Smith stated that from testimony previously taKen before the committee on territories It appeared that In many of the public schools of Now Mexico only the Spanish language was taught , and that there were quite a number of public schools In which the English language was not taught at all. A long debate ensued. The question was finally taken on the amendment of Mr. Smith ot Illinois , and the speaker pro tempore - pore declared that the yeas seemed to have It. Mr. Joseph asked for a division and Mr. HopklnJ of Illinois exclaimed : "Now lot every friend of the American public stand ui > . " The house divided , and there vvero yeas , C3 , and nays , CO.

Consideration of the bill being resumed Mr. Wilson of Ohio offered the following amendment : And for teaching In the English language such studies as nre taught In the public school ! ) , but not to the exclusion of other languages. There was a debate nn this proposrlon and Mr. Mahon offered an amendment to the amendment as follows : The English language shall be taught In mild school" , provided that all other hin- Kiiuges may also bo taught. Mr. Wilson amended this so ns to n'alco the substitute read : And for teaching the English language as n branch of study In all public schools , but not to the exclusion of other laiiijiiaKc-s On a rlslug vote the speaker decided that the substitute had been carried , but Mr. Wheeler called for a division , and the vote resulted In C9 yeas and 7C nays , whereupon Mr. Gear and Mr. Hopkins demanded the yeaa and nays , which resulted , jeas , 81 ; nays , US , Mr. Bryan voting In the negative. Accordingly the amendment to make teaching of the English language compul sory In the public schools of Now Mexico was rejected. SIOATOH ll.VVIO 11. 1111,1.

" Three thousand people assembled In the Asbury Park ( N J. ) auditorium last Sunday afternoon and listened to the address of Bishop John P. Newman ot Omaha. Ills theme was "Our Country's Mission , " A dispatch to the Philadelphia Press says the bishop took occasion to score the democrats for their attempt to undo the good work accomplished by the patriots who built up America and made It the grandest nation on the face of the earth. The bishop , In opening , said : "Never be- toro since the war of the rebellion has there been a greater necessity for an American citizen to understand his obligations to the government and appreciate the perilous times which confront us than there U nl the present day. Never before , since thu days of Lincoln and Grant , have we needed God-chosen leaders more than wo do now. "Thoro comes a tlmo In the history of the world when men shall forget their church , and thcro also conies a time when patriotic men shall forget party nnd stand by the country , and It a man can't stand by his country , when his country Is lu peril , then he should get out of the country , for ho Is not worthy of his country. " The bishop then referred to the greatness of America. "Our land , " he said , "tho land of the free , under certain conditions , Is the wealthiest nation on the face of thu earth , and our per capita wealth Is larger than that ot England , and any man who attempts to Interrupt the prosperity of America should bo Interrupted himself. NATIONAL RULERS NEEDED. "Tho founders of America commenced whore other great nations left oft and gave us a form of gov eminent that has challenged the admiration of the world. Of the fifty - nine giants who prepared our constitution , twenty-nine ot them were university men , so It Is no wonder they did their work well , and wo have maintained this high standard of Intellect In our rulers , except In ono or two Instances , where , by accident , others have succeeded In occupying the chair once graced by Washington. "To maintain this standard of Intelligence among our rulers Is the duty of all good cltzens , but the standaid must bo main tained by men of mature yeais , men who can be trusted to take proper care of our finances. " This sentiment was greeted by applause. Continuing , Bishop Newman said : "The revolutionary war exhausted the right of revolution , and there should never have been another war In this country. Every war since that time has been a crlmo against society and a crime against God But the Americans believe In the law of self-defense , and there may be , before long , a justifiable war to protect the constitution of the United States and the rights ot our cltbens. " NEED OP PATRIOTISM. The bishop said he was not opposed to men of foreign birth becoming citizens of the United States , for when we vvero strug gling for Independence the country eagerly accepted the services of Montgomery , Paul Jones , Lafayette and Rochambcau. "There should be no prejudice against men ot foreign birth becoming citizens of the United States , " he said , ' 'providing he Is born again when he arrives here and renounces all allegiance to foreign powers When he gets here he should be no longer a Gorman , an Irishman or an Englishman , but a patriotic American , the peculiar cltl' zen of a peculiar country. "Tho American citizen does not recog nize his rights as coming from a superior to an Inferior , for hero we have no superior except God Almighty. America requires no large standing army to defend her citizens , for every citizen Is a soldier In disguise and his right to defend himself Is as Justi fiable as a saint's prayer. "There may come Insurrections and mobs but we are all soldiers and we want war to make up these soldiers and make then' ministers to preach patriotism among the people. The time has come to awaken the lawyers , the editors , the merchants , the bankers and hnve them understand that America was not born to die. BLASPHEMING CALVARY'S CROSS. "Tho Cross of Jesus Christ. " the bishop said , "was designed to be the symbol o thu atonement , and was never Intended to be the emblem cf a political paity , to bo used to teach anarchistic doctilnes. Thr crown of thorns was for the Savior's brow and not for those who would ovcrthiovv the best government on earth. "I predict , too. that the man who datc < to blaspheme the sacred , cross will find vvritteu on the- wall of his chamber soim night the words , 'Mci. meme , tekel up- harsln thou art weighed In the balauct and found wanting , ' nnd no man who ha * been educated to respect his country nnd Its fiuunclal credit with sister nations will betray his country for thirty pieces of sliver. " The audience went wild at the bishop's reference to Candidate Bryan's famou ? metaphor , and the applause continued for several minutes and was renewed with equal vigor , when the speaker said : "Moral connptlon always precedes gov ernmental ruin , This holds true with the Greeks and the Romans , and America with all Its glory will prove no exception to thn rule. The hope of America Is not In Its army , Its navy , Its administration , or Its public schools , but In private virtue and public morality. The question for 113 to decide Is whether we have the power to reverse the verdicts of history. " "I am a republican , but above all I am an American citizen. " After the meeting hundreds rushed to the platform , shook hands with the bishop and congratulated him for his patriotic utter ances. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Shopmen DUriinn Politic * . OMAHA , Aug. 7. To the Editor of The Dee : For some weeks we , the Union Pacific shopmen , have been discussing the relative merits of the different candidates for the presidency , and the effect the platform will hnvo on the countiy and the working element , especially during the neon hour. It started In a social and friendly way and every man was al lowed to express his sentiments. Our audience kept Increasing dally up to the present. There Is one subject In whlrh wo all agree and that it the worklngmen's con dition at present IB not prosperous , the un solved question Is how are wo going lo mend It ? One party says protection is the only sure and permanent remedy , and refers to the past In proof of their assertion. Poui jeers ago the country was prosperous under the McKlnley law and reciprocity combined , every man who was willing to work could get steady employment and good wages. How la It today ? Compare this administra tion with that of Hnirlson four short years ago and I think that will convince any sensible , fair-minded man that the present policy of the party now in power has been disastrous to all classes of Industry. They ore better adapted to tearing down our In dustries than to- building them up. * Four years ago their orators and stump speakers Invaded every precinct In the coun try and misled tbo people with false state ments of how they were robbed by the Mc Klnley law and the rascals In power. They shed crocodile tears for the honest workman whoso dinner pall was so unjustly taxed ; they promised better wages and cheaper din ner palls to all classes. How have they fulfilled their promises ? Ask the men who aru Idle and cannot Dad employment at any price ; ask the merchant how his gales of goods are ; go through your streets and count the number ot good business houses empty ; search for some now Industry that has been established in the past four years ; and In the tace of all the distress brought on the country by their Incompeteucy and bullheaded - headed stupidity they now come before the people with unbounded gall and impudence and aik a new lease of four years more. Ob. yea , they found the remedy , an Infallible one , cheap money , free and unlimited coinage - ago of silver ; that U the dogma , and they have tbcir emissaries In every hamlet. We bad ono Visit -tis al the shop. Ills pretence was sell Ing a book. For the last three days ho has been prompt on tlmo and each day delivered a rigmarole speech on the silver question.

"Prrc silver , free silver coinage or silver standard , " said Mr. Ramachin Irjtyyi , "mean ono nnd the * nmo for purpo.t of currency where calcalatlcns are made In silver coins a'ld where folil cannot bo mM as the standard money As long ns silver stood nt onc-slxtcrnlh the price of gold In the market or markets of the various countries ot the world , or as 1C to 1 , It made no difference what metal vvns lined , as the standird money. L'ut when the price of silver btgan to fluctuate since 1870 the countries using silver nro suffering Inas much as they have to pay heavier sums for the same articles of meichandlao than dur ing the time when the metals stood at n llxcd ratio. "To Illustrate my statement , prior to 1S70 India had to send a llxcd sum of money to England every year , as ahe Is subordinate to the later , to meet the expenses of nd- Mihi's'ratloii. ' As the price of silver has fallen since thsii , she has to send largei amounts to meet the snmo demand , slncu she cannot remit gold. Again In nil com mercial transactions , what cost a pound In silver , costs now two pounds In the same metal. As India hns no other metal than silver she Is voiglng on bankruptcy. In the year ISi.l the mints were closed and there vvns n hue and cry for the tlmo being because the fev/ owners oC silver bullion could not get snlo for the same. If bullion coins vvero uttered , cither the bullion holdci or the governlncnt would bo pYolltcd to the extent of the difference between the market value ot the metal nnd thnt n\cd by Its iic-o coinage. It means that the people arc1 defrauded to this extent. i "Hut In meeting the demand or obliga tions from the gold-using countries , twice the original amount or more , according to the maiket value ot the metal-has to bo paid. It means that the ration Is de frauded In the first Instance to the extent of cent per cent and they have to pay twice the coin or 400 per cent of the real value to liquidate their debts. They arc getting poorer by tlueo times In a fixed period. Applying the aamo principles to this , country , the following conclusions may bo drawn : " 1. The free colnago ot silver or free silver or silver standard Is a freak of Imagin ation. As long , as the United States has anything to do with foreign countries , she hai to pay her debts In , old or lose the national credit or reputation. For no one would be so foolish na to pay twice the1 market value to the silver dollar. "J. This free sliver will fill the coffers of silver bullion holders at the expense ot the puor laborer and will apparently profit the government as much as the difference be tween the bullion value and the standard coin.

The millionaire says the bullet grared his temple and passed through his hat Into the wall. Campbell sprang al the man again , but before ho eon Id reach him he was Knocked down by Wlnthrop , who struck him over the lieiul. with some heavy Instrument. The two men then pounced upon Campbell and bound , handcuffed and gagged him. Ills feet anil hands were tied lo the tour corners of the bed and a rhatti was passed over his body nnd fastened to staples driven Into the floor.

Ho said ho was an old man and did not have n great whllo to live anyway , and they could kill him before ho would submit to such an out rage.

The day passed with no change In the situation , either Wlnthrop or the masked man guarding Campbell constantly. They offered him dilnk and food , and announced their willingness to give him anything ho w anted , but ho refused everything for fear they Intended to poison him. He was given every attention , but was kept strapped to the hod all the time , and no opportunity for escape was allowed.
