the priceless blessing of free govern
ment and civil Mlierty. You see before
you today a committee of deaegafbSs
from that cotiventltwi, and for whony I
speak, upon which is represented every
sltate -d tieirritory, whose duty it-.is
to convey to you in formal1 manner the
notification that the august assembly
I have imentioned, acting for its miem
, bers, their constituents, and for jail
who love and cherish liberty every
where, with no dissenting voice, chose
you as the candidate for president,, and
adopted a platform! of .principleg upon
which the campaign we are now inaug
urating sha-li be conducted.
Flour years ago you led the party in
the most brilliant contest at 'haeever
experienced. Tom 'then failed twfcwin
the goal, the presidency, but yotjr did
more; you won the respect and (admir
ation of your political foes, and thW ar
dent love and devotion of your follow
ers. .That contest was made by you
against stupendous odds, in the fajpe of
a hostile presis, and with unhapp di
vision in your ranks. I congratulate
you and the country that alii thes1 inn
fortuitous conditions do not confront
you today. It ds trute, yon were then"
bitterly, sometimes wantamly, assailed
and when partisan rancor ran high oc
casionally coarse 'things were said of
you and your party. But you ancLtlhey
survived them all, and were, perhaps,
stronger for them. -We trust this cam
paign will be pitched' on a higher plane,
and that it will be conducted in a
manmeir worthy of the great dignity
which attaches to the two most exalt
ed offices at stake.
It is true that you and your party
friends have already been characteriz
ed as dilshonest and lawless, at home,
and as cowards abroad. I feel sure,
however, it wili stop at this, or at
least, if such hyberolic flowers of
speech are used at all it will be in rare
instances, and only then by some one
whose coarse manners befouis the pub
lic are equaled only by the roughness
of hist riding habit.
You are by all .reail Americans re
garded as tfhe best exponent of the
faith of our fathers, which was ar
ticled in the Declaration of Independ
ence and sealed by the bl'ood of pat
riots. -We deny that that declaration
is a back number. We solemnly affirm
that by the faithful it is yet venerate 1
as the grandest charter of 'hum"n
rights and human liberty ever dieyly d
by man. The lust of greed and po--er
preaches contempt for its isriperb
doctrine, but we 'hold i't is the 'only
guiding star by which our ship of state
4 Jrvearr
ously until of date, when another star,
the star of imperialism, has been se-
iect'ed as the guide for our course.
The platform which I handled you Is
new Declaration of Independence-.
You wiiil see it takes1 no step backward
it a t: JJA
upon any issue or party creea .nenwu-
fore promulgated. It solemnly affirms
that the question of imperialism is the
pairamouint issue of this campaign.
This declaration did not matosi it so,
but only gave recognition to an admit
ted fact. The republicans have made
t the issue which in tihis campaign ov
ertops ail others, 'rney may wi-u en
deavor to run awaiy from it, as they are
doing, but they cannot escape it. "By
their fruits ye, shall knows them," wa?
the best philosophy nineteen hundred
years ago, and it is the best now.
Imperialism, consists in levying "upon
tihe people and collecting from tnem
unequal taxes. It consists in He'vying
taxes upon one territory of the United
States and not levying the sarnie on
other portiionsi thereof. The constitu
tion says that all taxes shall be uni
form throughout the united states.
The power to taxis the power to de
stroy. When those an power proceed,
as they have done by recent acts of
congress to construct a xanrn wa. i
against one territory and !thu exclude
its products friom! the other territories
and states of the union, 'seek to doage
as they may, they exercise imperial
nowip'r. Na kiner or emrjeror can do
f " " ' - - - w - M.
more, liney cannot oo -xne acts -cuim
deeds which cam only ibe done m a
kingdom or an empire and say they are
nimt Irn nenaiMsts and that there a si no
issue of imperialism1. The platform de
clares that imperialism! means conquest
abroad and oppression at home, it
means thia strong arm of the military,
and its concomitarit, a great standing
army, which has ever been .fatal to all
fre'e institutions. It was this that
drove from Europe tk our shores mil'
ion of our fellloiw citizens and which
is a constant micinace .to the iiberties of
the -people. Iatrge standing armies
havia no place in a republic. An im-
inierlali government can onlV be mai:n-
tafaied1 by brute f orce, and without mil
ttarism imperialism' cannot exist. The
union or mating of the two brings forth
Oaesarism, whetiweir undier ithat or som'i
dther name. Imperialism means death
n mofimpv and reDUbilicanism. I t
m'eans more swords1 and fewer plough
h.an?. "MUHarfesnrr. means death to
self-government, and' more pears and
fewer pruning hooks.
In the great battle upon us we will
make the fight thiicloest and fhdttest up
on this monster imperialism, which al
ways feeds upon the 'life 'blood ot lib
erty.' The cause you represent, sir,
is haimanity. The highest duty to hu
manity 4s to help others to be free.
The just punishment of a people that
ensdave and rude over another is the
lioes of their own Hberty, for a democ
racy cannot be an empire and neanain
both.

London, Aug. 8. The following has
been received from Lord Roberts:
"Pretoria I fear the Eland's rivter
garrison under Lieutenant Colonel
Hoare has been captured after ten
days' resistance. The Boer general,
Delarey, learning of General Hamil
ton's approach to Rustenburg, and see
ing mo chance of capturing General
Baden Power's force hurrfed' to
Eland's river. General Hamilton re
ported firing in the direction of Eland's
river ceased yesttetrday, and Colonel
Hoare' evidently has been' captured.
General Hamilton left Rustinburg this
nwrning, taking General (Baden Pow
ell's forces with him. The Boer com-
rlnander, DetWet, commenced crossing
the Vaal yesterday, and Lord KLtch
emer is now in pursuit. Lord Methuen
wtho is on the right bank of the Vaal,
has evidently come in contact with De-
wet's advance iguard as his guns were
tieard by Kitchenler this morning."

One of Snsuner School's -BestlConcerts
ft Giteof "
Tonight's concert by the Summer
school bids fair to rival in popularity
the "Persian Garden" concert of 'two
weeks ago which, is generally conceded
to have been, the most'interestlnsr one
of the series. . &
Not only will Mr. Ern be heard in a
violin solo. Miss Knight aiid Mme. Par-
cello in songs, but Mendelssohn's "Ath
alie" is to be eiven bv soloisfts mid fh.
rus with piano and organ accompani
ment. "AthaJie" pleases wherever it
is heard, and there Is not a dull meas
ure from beginning to end. On the
contrary, it contains some of the finest
mueic Medelssohn ever wrote.
The Summer school chorus is not as
large as was expected, but greater
care has been exercised this year in
the admission of voices. nd it win
prove to be adequate for this ambitious
performance, very much ahead of any
thing previously attempted by the Sum
mer school.

OF BATTLE, WHICH THEY CAR
RY OUT HANDSOMELY AD
VANCE ON PEKIN.
London, Aug. 9. The various offi
cial despatches cover practically all the
news of importance that has been re
ceived regarding China. The pessi
mism of Conger's despatch, compared
with the others 4s .remarked upon, and
regarded as unexplainable unless the
other governments have smmressed
parts of the despatches received by
them .
The fact is noted that most of the de
spajtches bear the date of Yuan Shift
Kais Yamem at Tsin, and the unofftciate
of the Chinese legation here express the
belief that .the ministers have nojt as yet
left Pekin.. They profess confidence
that they will do so, and assume thaft
their departure will be officially an
nounced. EXPLANATION OF MOVEMENT.
Washington, Aug. 8. Chaffee's ac
count of the battle of Peitsang, though
brief, covers considerable ground, ylt
is evident from his despatch that he
battle did not take place exactly as
planned anne con-rernae of jorelEu -
irimanfin9 It JKalnjCended that the
advance, followed closely by the Eng-
lish and Americans, who a't tfhe Pei Ho -
stage of the battfle would swing into
line and make the turning movement
which would make the line of the al
lied forces cross the Chinese right
flank. According to Chaffee's de
spatch today the movement was only
parffly carried out by his expression
"ground very limited."
It is understood by army officers' ithat
this means there was not sufficient
space between, the Chinese right flank
and Hum Ho for successfully carrying
out the turning movement. An ex
amination of a military map shows the
Hun Ho and Piet Ho come tog-either at
Tien Tsin and form a trianerle. As a
result of he failure to carry out the
movement the Japanese had to stacd
th? brunt of the fight.
That the Chinese were completely de
feated in the engagement is evidery: by
the announcement by Chaffee that the
allied troops prepared to cross the Pei
Ho to its left bank tomorrow or the flth
and move on Yang Tsung.
TAKING OF PIETSANG.
Washington, Aug. 8. The following
despatch was received from General
Chaffee by Adjutant General Corbin
today:
"Chefoo (no date). Front, Aug. 5.
Pietsang was handsomely taken, early
this morning by 'the Japanese troops,
supported by the English and Ameri
cans. The Japanese loss was consid
erable, English slight, Americans none.
Ground very limited. In the morning
the American troops occupied the rear
position, which was to form the turning
movement, but were unable to form in
the line. Will itake left bank of Peiho
