Feast, and Belmont’s Presence , Would Dishonor Jefferson. V - CHATTANOOGA, March 21.—-Hon. W. J. Bryan has given out the following correspondence, having been notified that it had not been made public by Mr. Belmont. Mr. Bryan stated that he had nothing to say about the matter, but that the correspondence spoke for itself. In a letter, dated Champaign, Ills.,' March 16, Mr. Bryan wrote Mr. Belmont as follows: “I received a few days ago the follow- ing telegram, signed- by yourself: ‘In arranging the toasts and responses at the banquet of the Democratic club on Jefferson’s birthday, April 13, the com— mittee are most desirous, if your en- gagements will permit your attendance, /// AA . ,1. U (A. / 7/ -../ ’I/ I I 7/ . /. WILLIALI- JENNINGS BRYAN. to have you select such subject as you prefer to discuss in your own way with— in the limit; so far all speeches of 20 minutes. Please Wire reply.’ "Upon my return' to Nebraska I sent you the following inquiry, dated Lin- coln, Neb., March 13: ‘Invitation receiv- ed. Remembering that you openly re- pudiated the Democratic platform in the last campaign, I desire to know be— fore answering invitation whether you have since the election publicly an— nounced your conversion to the princi— ples set forth in that platform.’ “I have just received your reply, as follows: ‘The invitation extended to you is on behalf of the Democratic club. In- dividual opinions have not been consid- ered in issuing the invitations to cele' brate the birthday of Thomas Jeffer- son.‘ “I might plead a previous engagement as a reason for declining, but that would be equivalent to saying that I PERRY BELMONT. ‘would come but for the engagement, and frankness compels me to add an- other reason. I appreciate the compli- ment which the Democratic club pays mein extending an invitation, but I do- not understand how individual opin- ions can be ignored at a political gath- ering. You are the president of the club and represent the club before the pub- lic. Your position upon public ques- tions was well known in 1896, and your telegram indicates that your position has not been changed. My position up- on public questions is also well known. The antagonism between our opinions is so great that we cannot with proprie- ty join in a political banquet given in honor of Democracy’s patron saint. “Jefferson stood for certain well de- fined principles. If your views are a cor- _ rect reflection of his ideas, I fear that my voice would sound a discordant note at your banquet. If, on the other hand, the Chicago platform applies, ‘as I believe it does, J effersonian principles to present conditions, then your con- spicuous presence at the Jeffersonian banquet would not honor the memory of the world’s greatest Democrat. “Do not misunderstand me. You may be right, and I may be wrong, but I take it for granted that we are equally conscientious, and I trust that I may not show myself less courageous than you. You proclaimed to your fellow ‘ citizens in 1896 that my election upon a Democratic platform would endanger the nation‘s welfare. You will pardon me if I suggest that a banquet presid- ed over by you will injure rather than aid the Democratic party. I believe in harmonizing personal differences, but differences in principle cannot be hare monized, and, in my judgment, no par- . ty advantage is to be derived from po- litical communion between Jeffersonian Democrats who stand upon the Chica- go platform and the Republican allies who masquerade as Democrats between campaigns in order to give more poten. cy to their betrayal of Democratic pr'in- clpies on election day.” Sunbeam Editor Dead.

BOSTON, March 21.——Samuel Gomp- '-ers, president of the American Federa-i tion of Labor, was the prinéipal speak- er at the peace meeting held in ,Tremont temple at noon yesterday under the auspices of the Good Citizens’ Peace so- ciety. Edwin D. Meade presided. Mr. Gompers was received with applause. He referred to the position of organized labor on the question of expansion and said if a republican f01m of government was ever right it is right now and what was wrong in Spain is wgron in the United States. If it were right for the founders of this government to fight for free government, it is not today right to fight against it. We are today fight~ ing against the only Asiatic country that has ever made an attempt to es- tablish a republican form of govern- ment, and we are today seriously-con- sidering taking part in a plan to divide up China because it will help our trade. The' labor organizations recognize that a large standing army is always necessary to maintain imperialism and that the heads of the army are always anxious to prosecute their profession, which is the slaughter of man. They also recognize that a standing army is a menace to liberty and fomenter of trouble between man and man. If peace cannot be secured in any other way; the time is coming when federated labor will refuse to make implements that are» intended to strike down their fellow men, when shipbuilders will re- fuse to construct vessels of war, when sailors will refuse to navigate ships of war and when all workers ~will refuse to contribute their labors in any way for the slaughter of their brethrn wherever they may be. $51 A NON POLITICAL TRIP. Rest and Recreation the President’s Sole Object. BRUNSWICK, Ga., March 21.—Ex- Secretary Cornelius N. Bliss, Mr. Thom- as Nelson Page, the author; Mr. J. A. Scrymser of the South American Cable c0mpany and Mr. Joseph Stickney of Philadelphia came over to Brunswick about noon yesterday to welcome the president and escort— him to the city. Mr. Bliss said that there was absolute: iy no political significance whatever to be attached to the trip, and rest and recreation were the sole objects of the president’s visit. He was sorry that so much had been made of the trip, for there was absolutely no basis for re- ports that there would be any confer- ences. As to Mr. Reed, he was not here at his (Bliss’-) invitation, but as the guest of a fellow club member, Mr. John G. Moore of New York. Mr. Reed did not know the president was to be at Jekyll island, nor did Mr. McKinley know that Mr. Reed was to be there. There are about 50 people on the is- land, and’ nearly all of them, including the president and Speaker Reed, will meet one'another, but merely in a so- cial way. There will be no functions on the island, everything being made as informal as possible. Philippine Commission Meets. WASHINGTON, March 21.—A dis- patch was received at the state depart- ment yesterday from Chairman Schur- man of the Philippine commission, an- nouncing a meeting of that body at Manila. The meeting was a preliminary one for the purpose of organization. Mr. McArthur, who was connected with the United States legation at Madrid during General Woodford’ s incumbency of that office, is to be the secretary of the com,- mission. Closer Relations “filth. France. WASHINGTON, March 21,—Henry Peartree, president of the American Chamber of Commerce at Paris, has arrived here and will have conferences today with the French em’bassador and Reciprocity Commissioner Kasson rel- ative to a reciprocity treaty under sec- tion 4 of the Dingley law.

Former Congressman Leonard Dead. NEW YORK. March 21.——Former Con- gressman Moses G. Leonard of Brook- lyn died at his home in that city yes- terday. He was 90 years of age, and the cause of death is ascribed more to his advanced years than to an attack of grip, from which he had suffered in a mild way for about three weeks. He was a native of Stafford, Conn. A‘Fast Day In Connecticut.
