C. "In extending this invitation, there is no desire on the part of our citizens to criticise in any manner the hospitali ty of the city of Raleigh, butt, however well idle may have fulfilled the duties of hostess, -we submit that she should be willing to share the honor of enter taining the State convention, ami espe cially so if other cities can ent-*rta:n the visitors as well and are as accessible as the Capital City. “"We, therefore, simply desire to call the attention of the committee to the following facts: “First. That no city in the Stats is so accessible to the delegates from all parts of the State as Greensboro. “<Second. That there is no city more centrally located geographically. “Third. That at the time of holding the next State convention there will be four good hotels running, capable of ac commodating between 750 and 1,000 guests. “Fourth. That that the regular lates of these hostelries is from $2.50 to $3.00 per day, and that they will make a special rate to delegates of $1.50 to $2.00 per day, “Fifth. That a commodious ami com fortable hall capable of soming 1,000 people will be provided, ami Ample ac commodations for the different district meetings. “Sixth. That a most cordial weleomt will he extended the convention on tie half of our people, who feel that it is but just that the Capital City should share the honor it has been momipo.izmg for so many years, especially when there is no reason why, in so far ::s it affects the interest of the party, the meeting place should continue where it has been in the past, 'blit, on the con trary, there are many reasons why it should be changed.” On conclusion of the discussion caused by this invitation, the vote was taken, resulting: Raleigh, 24; Greensboro. 17. Those voting for Raleigh were: Messrs. Abernethy. Winbourne. Nar row, Stubbs, Mason, T. W., O’Berry, Mt'leatt, Beddifurfield, Snruill. Gr o *nc«r Neil, Means, Connor, Womack, Moore, pou.

When the vote was announced Mayor Taylor expressed his regret, blit told the convention liis people were loyal to the Democratic party and would 'bo none the less so because they were not honor ed by the presence of the .next conven tion. !He hoped that on some future oc casion they might be more lucky. Mr. Taylor is always a felieitious speaker, and his gjieech before the commute-* was one of rare eloquence. Thereupon Air. McLean proposed the foil rowing resolution which was adopted tinamiuously by a rising vote: “Resolved, That the thanks of this committee be extended to the Demo crats of Greensboro and the county of Guilford for their hospitable and patriot ic invitation to hold our next 'State Con vention in their city.” This matter disposed of, the question of opening and conducting the next cam paign was taken up.

L.

SAYS COUNTRYASKSGOLD NEVER A NATIONAL ISSUE, RE PLIES MR. MATTOX. BILLtLINGS THE TREASURY WIDE OPEN Mr. De Armond Declares the Change of Bonds From Coin to Gold Bonds Will Make a Gift of $100,000,000 to Bondholders. Washington, Dee. 11.—The feature of the opening day of the debate on the Currency Bill in the House was the speech of Mr. Dolliver, of lowa. It was characterized by all the wit and elo quence for which the lowan is noted and held the members without regard to party, for over an hour. Mr. Dolliver declared that the last doubt in the Re publican party as to tin* wisdom of en acting the gold standard into law had been resolved by the experience of the business world during the past three years. Mr. DeArmond (Mo.), was the heavy gun on the Democratic side. He warned the Republicans from the West that they could not deceive their constituents in the eon ring Congressional elections by claiming that they had yielded to the wisdom of their colleagues in caucus. Mr, Overstreet tlnd.) opened the de bate in support of the bill and Mr. Mad dox (Gia.) replied to him. Mr. McClel lan (N. Y.) was the only other speaker today. He appealed to those of his Democratic colleagues from New York, who, it Ls reported intend to vote for the bill not to do so. Mr. Overstreet’s speech was an elab orate defense and exposition ol‘ the pro posed Currency Bill. He said in conclusion: “The advocates of currency reform firmly declare that the financial opera tions of the Government are upon the gold standard, hut that the honest fears engendered by doubtful legislation rela tive to silver coinage, anil the persistent attaeks upon the standard of virtue, fully justify the legislation asked. To firmly fix gold as the standard of value in un equivocal terms, made fully ojierative by all proper safeguards, is the central idea of the law proposed. It is confidently lx lieved that the country demands it, and that our action will be ratified by the people. Democrats of courage and conviction, have nobly dared to break from party lines and suffer, unflinching ly, the sting of the party whip, in honest and patriotic effort to uphold the integ rity of the national credit, to secure the foundation of the vast and expanding business of our people. The American yeomanry in the great agricultural fields of the country are fully awake to the importance of the subject and appre ciate the wisdom of the legislation. Nearly all of those who wavered in 189(5, corrected their error in 1898.” Mr. Maddox (Deni. Ga.) was the first speaker in opposition to the bill. He said if he had analyzed the bill cor reetly no measure had been presented to Congress in half a century fraught with so much importance to the coun try. He referred to former Speaker Reed’s New York speech in which I*s advised the immediate enlafetmeut of a gold standard legislation before some branch of the Government got away from the Republican party. “The faithful,” said he, “understand that this legislation must be enacted at once or not at all.” Mr. Maddox then proceeded with a detailed analysis of the hill. 'The en actment of a gold standard legislation, he declared, had never been an issue be fore the people. If gold was now the “existing standard,” he contended, it was so by the unlawful usurpation of the executive officers of the Government. Facility for raiding the Treasury un der the 'bill, he said, had never been hitherto equalled. It would convert ev ery obligation of the Treasury into a gold Obligation and would compel the Governiinent to sell .millions of gold bonds to thi* amount of 25 per cent of all the outstanding notes of whatever character. Tie argued that under the hill banks with $1,000,000 capital now required to deposit Ixjaids equal to -a third of their capital in the Treasury were only re quired to deposit $50,01 H) in, bonds, en abling the banks, he declared, to con tract or expand the currency at will. He took up the Republican platform of 189(5 to show that every Republican who now advocated tin* gold standard was no apostate, lie had read al the clerk’s desk the speeches of some of the Re publican leaders in 1897. declaring that the Republicans were for intemationaJ hi metallism. In 1890 the cry of Bryan, In* said, was for more money. Money was scarce. It was hoarded. '’The day after the elec tion it came out from its hiding, “Are you willing now,” interrupted Mi. B:ms (Tout.l “that the u'nts should be opened to silver if an international agreement; could la* obtained ” “No, sir,” replied Mr. Dolliver. “I have had my last whirl with silver. I have been humbugged for the last time.” Mr. Dolliver recalled Mr. Bryan’s prophecy that the gold standard could not be enacted without u uuTersal full of prices. “Is there is a man in tfh'isi chamber,” be asked, “who will rise in his place and say that Mr. 11l yam knew what he was talking aboutY” Not ft Democrat rose. Mr. Dolliver paused, reiterated bis question and then resumed. ‘‘lt. is then confessed that in a question which goes to th*- heart of the controversy Mr. Bryan lacked wisdom. Mr. McClellan (New York) opposed tin* bill. “I do not. wish it nnderaieod.” said he, “that I advocate the present system of bank note currency- The first direct, eon.sequence of the enactment of this appeal will 'be a very great rise in the market price of Government bonds. “The substitutions of the word gold for the word coin would result in an unearn ed bonus of over $(50,000,000 to the hold ers of the loan of 1895 alone.” Mr. DeArmond (Missouri) followed in opposition to the bill. Replying to Mr. Dolliver he said the Democrats had not been overborne in 1896 in the conflict of-reason, hut the Republican part y had wofn by summoning to their aid the cor rupt and tremendous power of money and corporations. He charged the Re publicans with deceiving the people in 1890. They were bi-metallists then. If ithey were* homiest then they must be dis honest now; if honest now. dishonest then. The change of the bonds from win to gold bonds, he said, would make a free gift of $100,000,000 to the bond holders. SYMPATHY FOR TRANSVAAL. Senator Mason’s Resolution Referred to Foreign Relations Committee. Washington, Dee. It. —An appeal by Mr. Mason (Illinois) for an expression of sympathy for the Transvaal Repub lic in its war with Great Brit ain was tin feature* o*f the Senat* proceedings to day. Ilis address was listened to with thoughtful attention by both tin- liiem l>ers and by a large gallery of aud iers. The resolution upon which Mr. Mason based his sjH'tvh was referred, at the contusion of tile address to tie* J o.vign Relations Oatnurftee, Mr. Lodge (Massa chusetts) considering it too delicate a question in view of the position of this Government, to pass upon without se rious consideration. Air. Cockrell (Missouri) directed tbi* at tention of the Pension Committee to a bill 'introduced by request of Mr. Pit tas (Alabama) providing for the pay ment of a peassion to freedtnen. The bill was referred to the Pension Committee. FEDERATION OF LABOR. Annual Convention in Session.

Mr. Dpncan au noiuieed that Mr. Gompers wa> still suffering severely' from a dislocated knee and other injuries, resulting I nun a recent wagon and street ear collision in Washington, and possibly might not be aide to attend the convention. After adoption of a resolution of sym pathy for President Gompers, the an nual report of President Gompers was read by Vice-President Duncan. President Gompers’ report showed a gratifying growth of unionism during the year. He stated that the only advan tage which has come to unorganized labor as a result of the industrial re vival has been longer hours of labor with additional burdens to hear. He referred with indignation to the out rageous measures taken against the tin organized miners of Idaho by General Merriam and spoke of the means taken by the Federation to aid them. lie urged continued agitation for the eight hour law, expressed gratification at tin* hill against child labor introduced into the Georgia Legislature condemning mili tarism and expressed the belief that tin* growth of organized labor would even tually disrupt ami crush the trusts. The report of the Credentials Com mittee announced that the Brewery- Workers and the Stationary Engineers had withdrawn their protests against the others being seated, and had ex pressed a willingness that their troubles go to the Committee on Grievances The reports of Frank Morrison, Sec retary. and John B.
