The first day's session of the annual convention of the National Association of Manufacture ended thla evening without any definite In tentions aa to whether the orgsnlzatlon Will adopt tha policy of sggresslve hostlll'y to union labor outltnad by President D. M. Parry In hla annual report. Mr. Parry's attitude on the labor ques tion was the chief point of Interest for the delegates and. It la declared, waa the cause (or tha largest delegate representation In the history of the association. When Mr. Parry was Introduced at the morning- ses sion he recelred a remarkable ovation, the 00 delegates rtsjng and cheering him vig orously. His report was Immediately re ferred to committees. At numerous times during the diy, in resolutions and in speeches, the matter ot trades unionism came to the aurface, but at do time was there sny test vote on which the attitude ot the convention was shown. The convention showed Intense feeling and there is every Indication that the session tomorrow afternoon, when ths report ot the resolution committee is to be submitted, will prove a lively one. Ths opening; of the convention at Tulane hall this morning was mads tbs occasion of an Impressive manifestation of New Orleans "honpltsllty," The local committee had mads elaborate preparations for ths entertainment of ths delegates and their women, and the arrangements were carried out to ths entire satisfaction of tbs vis itors. When Vies President J. W. Porch ot Louisiana called tbs convention to order cores of women residents and visitors were present with the delegates. Mr. Porch, after welcoming the visitors In be half of ths commercial Interests of the south, Introduced Mayor Paul Capdevllle ot New Orleans and Qovernor Wi H.

Ths delegates flre.t ap plauded wtth vigorous handclapr'.og, and as tha enthusiasm grsw men and women , climbed on their chairs, cheering lustily and waiving hats and handkerchiefs. Mr. Parry feSpoildea : briefly 'and then submit ted hla annual report, dealing largely with tabor conditions,' V Battle writ. Orgaalsed Labor, '. After calling attention to the marked -' growth of the National Association ot Man ufaoturers, which now has over 2,100 mem bers on Its roll, Mr. Parry Immediately took up the question of the battle between the manufacturers and organised labor in connection with ths eight-hour' and entl conspiracy bills, which wers defeated at the last session of congress. Referring to this question Mr. Parry aid I By Its determined opposition to the pas ssks of the elcht-hourind the antl-lnjunc- tlon bills thla assocla..on performed what to my mind was a great public service, the , full significance ot which la, perhaps, not Irsallxed even by many who were foremost mn condemning those measures. The mere .flfeating of these two bills does not tell Tie story. What was done that was much iror. ImDDrUnl and f ar-reachln waa to give an opportune check to socialistic Im pulse. It is Impossible to hide our eyes to the fact that a large mass f the people, forgetful ot the liberties and blessings they now enjoy, are with restless ardor striving to force the nation to what must eventually mean Industrial disaster, if not anarchy and despotism. Organised labor, an army presumably I.OjO.OOO strong, reeling Its strength and ex .ultant over many victories It had won. con. blurted laat winter that the time waa ripe wtvmaks congress engraft upon the statute Stocks of the nation Ite sprigs of socialism, legalizing those denials of Individual lights which It naa heretofore sought to enjoin by force. It drew up and fathered the eight hour and antl-lnjunctlon bills, the former of which could well have been entitled "An act to repeal the bill of rights guaranteeing tne freedom or tns individual and tne lat ter should have been termed "A bill to legalise atrlkes and boycotts." Omalens Manifestations The Introduction In congress of such treasures ss these and the support they re ceived there and from the press and public ' can only be regarded as ominous manifes tations of the deep-seated power of an or ganisation which In late veara has had such an Inslduoua growth that we And It dominating to a dangerous degree' the hole social, political and governmental systems of the nation. Who can take note of the hundreds of strikes ot the last vear of the many acta of aggression and ruth leaa violation of urtnclules heretofore held tear by the American people of the sub servient and apologetic tone of many news papers snd public men toward those things, and also of the all too prevalent antago nism toward capital without being Ini- rreseed with the gravity of the situation? f organised labor had succeeded in getting Its two bills enacted into law, more meas ures of a similar character would have followed close upon the heels and we should have found socialism stealing upon us at a rapid rate. It ts Well that those who would revolu tionise the social order should at the very Inception of their national program meet with organized resistance, and It waa for tunate that there was an asxoclatlon strong er.ouah to checkmate the Influence of or ganised labor Ihle last winter, and that at a time when In the full plenitude of Its power It seemed certain of success. This conflict and It was a conflict .and a very momentous onedeserves to go down In his tory as the first decisive defeat of the so cialistic forces which have ot late years had such surprising growth. Una thoroughly alive to the true nature of this un-American Institution of organ ised labor aa at present conducted, the peo ple, I firmly believe, will place their stamp ! of disapproval upon It. and it will dwindle! In power raster hn It grew. Perhaps a new form ot unionism will take Its place a beneficent unionism for the right of the workmen to organise within the spirit of the federal constitution la not to be dls yuted.

BLACKS' SHORTCOMINGS ARE FORGOTTEN Former Masters Forgive Reconstruc tion Period and Show Every Day Oennlne Desire to t'pllft Emancipated Slaves. NEW YORK, April 14. Former President Grover Clevelrud was the principal speaker tonight at a meeting held In the concert hall ot Madison Square Garden In the In terest of the Tuskegee Institute. Among thoee on the platform were Mayor Low, who presided; Booker T. Washington, Ed gar O. Murphy, Dr. Lyman Abbott, Dr. Murray Butler and Dean J. Van Amrlnge of Columbia; W. H. Baldwin, Chancellor McCracken of New York university; John DeWltt Warner and George F. Peabody. Mrs. Cleveland sat In the gallery with Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Carnegie, who are Mr. Cleveland's hosts while he Is In the city. Negroes Provide National Problem. Mr. Cleveland, who was greeted with pro longed applause as he was introduced by Mayor Low, said: I believe that neither the decree that made the slaves free, nor the enactment that suddenlv Invested tham with the rights of citizenship, any more purged mem or tneir racial and slavery-ored im perfectnese than that It changed the color of their skins. 1 believe that among the nearly D.ouo.dou negroes who have been In termixed with our citizenship there la still a grievous amount of Ignorance, a std amount of vlclousness and a tremendous amount of laziness and thrlftlessness. I believe that these conditions inexorably present to the white people of the Unitel States a problem, which neither enlight ened self-interest nor the higher motive of numan sympatny will permit tnem to put aMde. I believe our fellow countrymen In the southern and late slave-holding states, surrounded by about S.miO.WO negroes, snd who regard their material prosperity, their piace and even the safety at their civiliza tion Interwoven with the negro problt m, are enuueu io our utmost consideration and sympathetic fellowship. At the same time 1 am thoroughly con vinced that the efforts of Booker Wash ington and the methods of the Tuskegee Institute point the way to a safe and bene ficent solution of this vexatious problem. 1 cannot, however, keen out of mv mind tonight the thought that, with all we of tha norm may do, the realization of our hopes ior me negro must, alter all, mainly de pend, except so far aa It rents with the negroes themselves, upon the sentiment and conauci or tne leaulng and responsible white men of the south. 1 need waste no time In detalllna- the evi dence that this aid and encouragement hat thus far been generously forihcoming. Schools for the education of negro chil dren and Institutions for their industrial training are scattered all over the tojih and are liberally assisted by the southern public and private funds. So far as I am informed tne sentiment In favor of the largest extension and broadest Influence of tne lusKegee institute and kindred agen cies Is universal; and I believe that with out exception the negroes who fit them selves for useful occupations and service find wllilng and cheerful patronage and employment among their white neighbors. Whites Have Honest Prejudice. . I do not know how it may be with other nonnern inenas oi tne negro, but I have faith In the honor and sincerity of resect able white peop.e In the south. They da not Deneve in tne social equality oi the race, and they make no falaa nreianu In rrrH to It. but U seems to tne- there is attendant sentiment and behavior among the south ern whites to make us doubt the Justice of cnars'iis mis aeniai to prejudice, as we usually understand the word. Perhaps It Is born of something so much deeper and more Imperious as to smount to a racial Instinct. Whatever It la, let us remember that It has condoned the negroes' shai'e In the humiliation and xDollation of th. whit . men of the south duilng the saturnalia of reconstruction days and haa allowed a kindly feeling to survive the time when tb.3 south was deluged by a perilous flood of inaiBcnminaie ana unintelligent negro suf frage Whatever It Is, let us try to be ton rant and considerate nf ih fo-ilnB. and even the prejudice or racial instinct of our wniio leuow countrymen in the s iuth who In the solution of the must, amid their own surroundings, bear the heat of the day and Btagger under the mciKin oi me wiuie man s Durden. j iicitj are. However, considerations re- mieu io mis feature oi tne question which may be regarded as more In keeping with the objects and purposes of this occasion As friends of the nenro. fullv rflivinr I the possibility of his advancement and sin cerely laboring to that end. it la foliy for Us to Ignore the importance of the un grudging co-operation of the white people of the south. Labor as we will those who lift the weight must be those who stand next to It. This co-operation cannot be forced; neither can It be gained by gratui tously running counter to firmly Axed and tenaciously held southern Ideas, or even prejudices. In summing up the whole matter, there Is one thing of which we can be absolutely and unreservedly certslns When we aid ""'" niBiiiuie ana agencies like It striving for the mental and manual educa tion vi me neRro in me soutn, we are ren derlng him the best nosslhla wrvii.. u-i,. ever may be his ultimate destiny, we are thus helping to fit him to All his place and bear Its responsibilities.

BuiuiKiii ui a uiuuaieMet uay, Marphy Lnuda Waiblsgton, At tha conclusion of his address Mr. Cleveland Introduced Edgar G. Murphy! who said: 1 think wise men everywhere are recog nizing In the principal of Tuskegee one of the greatest mural assets in the country today. The fouth has not applauded him with undlscrlmlnatlng agreement. Indeed it has sometimes blamed h m.

Dr. Lyman Abbott, who followed, said the south deserved great credit for taking up as It had an untried problem in helping the neRro to help himself. Quoting a remark made by Henry Ward Beecher to the effect that we should "make the negro worthy first and then give him suffrage," Dr. Abbott sail: We made the yrror of giving him suffrag. flrt. and the urfforiunat-' negro has had io suffer ever since." What the negro wants Im education. It all depend upon education whether he will be a shackle to our feet or wings to our body.

HUNTINGTON The true colors of the bolting republicans came out last night at the populist conven tion, when a member of the steering com mittee of the convention reported that the leaders of ths fsctlon which nominated Ben son had pledged themselves to support every csndldate of the populists in exchange for the nomination of E. A. Benson. All through the convention H. F. Mcin tosh spoke ot the understanding between himself and the republican bolters, and with one exception the agreement was ful filled. The committee reported through Hugh F. Mcintosh that the regular republican con vention met at Washington ball on Satur day and nominated officers, giving the nsmes of the nominees; that "owing to sharp practices" a number of the delegates bolted and later nominated Erastus A. Ben son; that the democrats met Saturday night, reporting the names of the nominees and continued- Your committee has consulted with prom inent :epubllcans and democrats, with union labor leaders snd citizens of various political affiliation. We find that there Is widespread dissatisfaction with nomina tions made for mayor and some other offi ces on both the regular republican and democratic tickets. This dissatisfaction Is founded on sound knowledge of fact as to the political or personal unfitness of can didates and its expression Is prompted by patriotic motives. Your committee there fore believes the time Is opportune for the nomination of a full city ticket and to In vite all citizens who desire good govern ment for the city of Omaha to unite with us In support of such candidates as are men of known integrity and honor in Dub lin snd private life and who can be de- 1 pended on to statl by the Interests of the people In every emergency which may arise during their term ot office. Resolution Ilts Opposition. This resolution was signed by all mem bers of the committee except George Mag uey, who refused to subscribe to ths recom mendations. ' The strength of the conven tion was shown by a motion to table the report which brought out twenty-seven j votes, ten to table and seventeen to adopt the report. i After the adoption of the report H.

Huntington. Candidate of Corporations. The presentation of this brought George A. Magncy to his feet in opposition. He said !n part: I am opposed to the nomination of Mr. Benson. 1 draw the line on republicans, lor they have never don anything for us, not even been kind to us. until they bolted and reeded ur help. I'M support E. E. Howell or a populist. I have noth.ng to ay against Mr. Kenson personally; buc it Is the monopolistic and corporation ele ment ot the republican party which Is back lienson. If there Is any anti-monopolist In the republican party It Is Edward Kofe water. He has fought the corporations and monopolies, while the men who ar backing Mr. Benson are railroad attorneys an I rail road lobbyists who were at Lincoln all win ter attending the legislature to see thai it did nothing. The men behind Benson, out side of the Real Estate exchange and there are but a few of them are the rep resentatives of the corporations and m-n p oll.its. The corporations are not for Frank E. Mootes, are not for Rosewaler, an not for Connell. They are for Benson. Who went out of the convention Satur day afternoon? Who led them? Ha ph Breckenrldge. the law partner of C. J. Greene, attorney for the Burlington rail roadthese are backing Mr. Benson. Where does Mr. Benson stand? No one knows. We only know he I a tried and true republican. We know that he has al ways stood against what we (sioid for. Henson cannot get on the ticket excepi by petition unless you place -film there. 1 am done with a party which is ready to fu.se with any party In order to cirrv favor. The ticket presented by Mr. Mclnto h Is. with one exception, the ticket hande i ti us by the manugers of the rump conven tion. That ticket hnd upon it the name of W. H. Elbourn. while this h::s Hie name o.1 M. V. O'Connor but there Is not a populist on the ticket. He was followed by J. J. Points in sup port of Mcintosh's nomination. Others in Opposition. Then came J. W. Barnett, who opposed the nominations on the ground that he op posed a ticket made up by a dissatisfied el ement of the republican party. Richard Cody opposed the tl?ket. Dr. Cook favored the ticket as presented, denouncing Ed How ell as the man who "bitched the Omaha charter." but also denounced Georgu Smith, its candidate In the Sixth ward. Martin Langdon spoke In favor of the pioposed ticket. James Southard gave assurance that the bolting republicans bad solemnly promised to support for office every candidate other than mayor who should be nominated by the populists In case the populists would nominate E. A. Benson for mayor. "We have got with us the campaigners, the workers, the contributors if we nominate Benson tonight. We havo a 1th us such men ss James P. Connolly, Walter Moise, Wll ; Ham A. Paxton such men ss these with us ! If we nominate E. A. Benson. We can fuse with the honest, upright citizens of I Omaha." Clamor from Bad Men. John Quinn declared that In bis thirty-six years' residence he had never beard so much clamor for good government from bad men such clean men as Westberg and Broatch. Dr. P.abody tried to nominate H.

Culver arrived In the city last night from Lincoln for the purpose of Inspecting the Millard Rifles with the view to its eligibility for admis sion to the Nstlonsl guard of ths state, and is stopping at the Her Grand. The Inspection was held at the Millard Rifles' armory Inst night and was In all rnspecta a most' successful one. Adjutant General Culver at once issued an order, which will be formally promulgated to morrow, mustering the Millard Rifles Into the National guard as a company of the First regiment, to fill the vacancy caused by the disbandment cf the company ot that regiment at Tecumseh. General Culver says ot the National guard of the state: "The Nebraska National guard is In excellent condition and we are endeavoring to improve its efficiency In the matter of better reports and esprit de corps, with the most encouraging auccess. I believe that the Nebraska National guard can be made second to none in efficiency In the country and It shall certainly be our aim to make it so. "Even the reduction of the salary of the adjutant general by the late general assembly will not affect the standard of ths National guard. This wss caused, I presume, by reason of the necessarily In creased appropriations for the Stute Sol diers' homes at Mllford and Grand Island. Anent this subject I believe the Grand Army of the Republic will or should make some strong recommendations relative to the homes st the coming department en campment at Fremont. "Thus far I have only conferred by tele phono wtth Colonel McClernaud, adjutant general of the Department of the Missouri, relative to the new nstlonsl gusrd law passed by congress, but will have a con ference with him tomorrow in person on the. subject. The messurc Is s good ono and will be of great advantage to the National guard all over tho country and will ' Increase Its efficiency materially." REPUBLICAN CITY COMMITTEE ..
