' Kou. William s. McNary read
Who feature of the opening was the
W Club to Hon. George Fred
llama as he came upon the plat-
srni In arm with lion. Thomas
:Ga‘rgsn. oPlloston.
All auctions of the state were rep-
mted. The principal business to
dome before the convention was the
nothinatlon of candidates for govern-
or, lieutenant 'govemor and the other
otato Moore. in addition to the nom-
ination of delegates to the national
, convention.
In the early hours of the morning.
' ‘utlite a number of delegates who were
at headquarters at the Parker House
expressed themselves in opposition tn
the announced intention of the party
leaders .to have the national delegates
chosen today, and it was evident that
.if any important contest was to be
'made it would be upon this issue.
Most of the lending members of the
lists committee, including Christo-
pher Callahan, of Holyokc, the chair-
"man; Secretary William s. McNary
' and Hon. George Fred Williams had
no doubt. however. but that the con-
vention would decide to name the na-
‘ great majority of city and town com-
mittees which had previously expres-
* led an opinion on the subject. had de-
,.clared in favor of such action. Accor-
Ading to the program of the managers,
:8 was decided sometime ngo,,that the
m of Messrs. Williams. McNary,
Callahan and Hon. Alexander ll.
Bruce” , of Lawrence, would be presen-
ted for delegates at large. All four
favor the renominntion of William
Jennings Bryan for president. and are
among the leading supporters offline
.‘ Chicago platform in this state.
. " Up to last night it was thought that
' Hr. Bruce of Lawrence, last year's
:,nominee, would be named again today
. Irfor governor, but a letter was receiv-
‘ ‘ed from him stating that be positively
declined to be a candidate this year.
‘ ' Before the convention this forenoon
, It appeared to be the general senti-
ment among the representatives of the
party that Robert Treat Paine, .lr.,
one of the younger Democratic leaders
in Boston. would be nominated for
governor, with John II. Mack. of
North Adams. for second place on the
ticket. Mr. Paine is an ardent silver
gman. an anti-expansionist and an out
and out supporter of the Chicago plat-
form
The committee on platform assem-
bled at Mechanics Building early in
tho forenoon and completed their
work. The platform endorses the
principles of the last national con-
vention and opposes the policy of the
McKinley administration in the Phil-
ippines. The chairman of the plat-
form committee is Hon. George Fred
’Williams. There was considerable
interest on the plank, which it was
proposed some time ago to have in-
corporated. disapproving of the lease
of the Boston and Albany Railroad by
the New York Central and Hudson
River Railroad. ,
Following is an abstract of the ad-
dress of Hon. W. S. McNary, perma-
nent chairman of the convention:
"The principles of Democracy are as
(all of vital force today In the thought
and action of the people as when pro-
mulgated by the immortal founder of
our grand party. Thomas Jefferson. or
asvwhen maintained and enforced by
our lecond great 'lender. the soldier
‘ 3 Mutant Andrew Jackson. They are
the guiding stars of seven million or
our people. as embodied in that mag-
. , lllcoutfieclaration of human rights,
the Chicago platform. and as advoca-
tod by that brilliant orator, that hon-
out and incorruptibie legislator. that
‘ , mud ind conservative statesman. the
. “t tribune of the plain people, the
; third great leader of our historic par-
ty. William Jennings Bryan. The De-
mocracy of Massachusetts will today
m allegiance to the great princi-
‘plu of our party. and with no hesita-
‘tlng glance or faltering step will plant
itsolf firmly upon every plnnk pf the
declaration of principles laid down at
the last national convention.
9'" is with lceling of sincere regret
,thatwe think of the brothers who have
cd from us in the campaign of
, It“. It is with pleasure that we note
tbolrtcndency to return to their on-
cient faith and animate themselves
with its lifeogivlng principles. We wel-
oolio them to our ranks and rejoice to
have them march united with us
against the common Republican foe.
“We do not desire to visit blame or
punishm--nt on those who left the pur-
,ty. l'nlty is desirable to increase our
vatrrngth and prospects of success and
donor! Judgment and reason would
prompt the great army of Democrats

success. If there be any among the
numerically small but highly influen-
tlnl body of men who slid from as in
1896? who see their error and desire to
return and scoop our principles, we
welcome them wi open arms. It titers
be any among that body who realise
in the main that our principles are
nearer to their Ideas than those of the
Republicans and that our policy on
the new issues which havearisen, and
which till the public mind. is in the
interest of the people and for safer
for the perpetuity of our institutions
than is that of the Republican party
and will therefore give us their assist-
ance and votes. we willingly offer them
a place in our ranks.
"While we shall meet squarely the
great and momentous problems which
have arisen under the McKinley ad-
ministration. and invite all who op-
pose the policy of the Republican par-
ty to Join us. we shall uphold each
and every one of the principles laid
down in the Chicago platform under
whose banner 6.500.010 men marched
in the yestest principle struggle
known in American history.
"We pronounce for bimetallism, for
the money of constitution. for the free
coinage of both gold and slver, the
policy which was followed by this
country from 1789 to 1875. and under
which we grew great, happy and pros-
porous.
"The Republican party offers no
hope of any real opposition to crush
out trusts.
"Under the fostering policy of the
present administration. these trusts
have grown and multiplied at an ap-
palling rate. The task which the Am-
erican people are going to demand
from the; Democratic party is that
they grapple with this great and mo-
mentous evil and present a plan for
the control of these great corporations
by the state and national government.,
or for their dissolution and extinction.
and the Democratic party will accept
the people's commission and will do
the people's will. .
“We denounce the policy of the Mc-
Kinley administration in its treat-
ment of the islands wrenched from
Spain as antagonistic to the principles
contained in the declaration of inde-
pendence and the provisions of our
national constitution. The. war which
was begun in behalf of the oppressed
people of Cuba, and not for the ne-
quisltlon of foreign territory. which
President McKinley declared would be
criminal aggression, is now under the
direction of the same president being
turned into a policy of conquest and
subjugation. The United States is
honor bound to keep its sacred pled-
ges made before the world to main-
tain its honor untarnished and to give
freedom to these oppressed and heroic
people who struggled so manfully for

which was repudiated by the president

who never did us any harm, who
struggled for their liberty from Spa-
nish misrnle and tyranny. who regard
us as their dellvcrers, who aided in
our warfare with Spain. who asked
only the same freedom and independ-
ence to manage their affair that we
enjoy, but who are being elentlessiy
pursued and crushed by the armed
forces of the United States acting un~
der the direction of a president with-
out constitutional warrant or the san-
ction by Congress for this abhorrent
and obnoxious war. The specious
cry that ’where the flag is once waved
it shall never be hauled down,’ is
nothing but mere pretence and sham.
The American flag has waved upon
the battlements of Algeria, of Tunis.
of Tripoli, and in the halls of the
Montezumas. but it was taken down.
No stain rests upon it or the men who
hauled it down, and who brought it

UNIVERSALIST CONVENTION.
Danbury. September zl—The lini-
versalist state convention came to a
conclusion nt 11 o'clock this morning,
after a two days' session. Several
resolutions were acted upon. Among
them was one authorizing the execu-
tive committee to employ a state mis-
sionary at its discretion. It. was re-
solved to memorialize the general
convention to appoint a committee to
arrange a uniform liturgical service
for use in Unlversalist churches. An-
other resolution was to the effect that
the churches throughout the state be
closed on Sunday. October 22d, and
that the pastors be sent to the gener-
al convention in Boston. The elec-
tion of officers resulted in choice for
[president of Rev. Dr. Perkins. of Mer-
iden: secretary. Rev. E. M. Grant.
