NEW YORK, Oct. 4.—Wm. Randolph
Hearst, president of the Nattonal As
sociation of Democratic Clubs, has
Issued an address to that association
urging upon its members "special ac
tivity and untiring energy from now
until the closing of the polls.” Mr.
Hearat's nddress says in part:
“I have offered my services and those
of my newspapers to the managers of
the Democracy, and in so far as I have
felt Justified as your president in so
doing I have offered the much greater
Influence of the Nntlonal Association
of the Democratic Clubs, pledging the
honest cooperation of all the members
to further effort on the lines of that
genuine Democracy in which a major
ity of the American people believe.
"It is the duty of the members of* the
National Association of Democratic
Clubs and of all Democrats to unite in
proving that Democrats have princi
ples, and permanent principles.
"The Democratic party has a great
respect for vested rights—It has also, a
great hatred of vested wrongs, no mat
ter how long or respectable their an
tecedents. Democrats believe tn the
statement of their platform that ‘the
right? of labor are certainly no less
vested,’ no less ‘sacred.* and no less
'inalienable* than the rights of capital.
"Democrats denounce the exporta
tion without process of law of work
ingmen and women from the state of
Colorado or from any other part of
American soil. The Democracy detests
all kinds of anarchy, and especially
that which puts the executive of
state, backed by the militia, above the
laws and above the courts.
Run Out the Thieves.
"The Democracy believes In putting
the thelves out of the postoffice and all
other branches of the public service
from the United Btates senate all the
way down.
"The Democrats believe that public
property is public property and that
not even the occupant of the white
house should turn men of war injp pri
vate yachts or make of the offlseto and
Sailors'of the navy ttu> domestic ser
vants of the president's household.
"The Democratic party believes in
expansion—It is the party of expan
sion. as Jefferson was America’s great
est expansionist. But it Is opposed to
imperialism.
"The Democratic platform says:
•We denounce protection as a robbery
of the many to enrich the few* and
Democrats mean exnctly what the
platform says.
"They know that through protection
the trusts rob the public, working men
end business men alike. And Demo
crats, If elected, will find a way to pull
nwny from the trusts their protecting
cloak—the tariff.
"These with a heartily pledged sup
port of the Monroe doctrine, a demand
that service of the soldiers be fairly
and a generously recognised and a vig
orous protest against the attempt of
President Roosevelt to stir up % rnce ha
tred as an engine of political Advance
ment; constitute the main features of
the late Democratic platform worded to
meet the special conditions and emer
gencies of the day.
"We Democrats should now as we
did a hundred years ago, hold equal
rights for all and special privileges
for none;* President Roosevelt's party
and Roosevelt with every appointment
In his gift bestowed on some trust
puppet, hold to the doctrine of special
favors for those who can and will pay.
“WILLIAM RANDOLPH HEARST.”
NEGRO PRISONER

Criminal Assault—Mob of One Hun
dred Probably Lynched the Man.
PERRY. Fla., Oct. 4.—This morning
about 1 o’clock a negro named Rivers
was taken from Sheriff Smith and two
deputies by a mob of 100 or more men.
Nothing has since been heard of the
prisoner, and It is believed ho was

Rivers was bound over yesterday to
await the action of the grand Jury at
the present term of the circuit court
which convened today, on the charge of
attempting criminal assault last Fri
day night on Mrs. Wlllloms. a white
woman living at Blair and Henly’i
turpentine still.
When the circuit court convened
this morning Sheriff Smith was severe*
ly reprimanded by Judge Palmer for
his conduct In thiB matter, being
charged with having failed to comply
with orders from the court as to con
ceallng the negro from the mob. The
sheriff had been ordered to conceal
the negro in the woods until this morn
Ing, and then take him across the
country to Madison, but Instead he
concealed him In a train within the
town limits and the negro's where
abouts were soon ascertained by the
mob, who took him from the officer and
hurried him off In the darkness. The
work was done so quietly that but few
persons knew of the affair until sunup
this morning.

NEW YORK. Oct 4.—Norman E.

"The state of New York will return

f«»r both the Democratic national and
»»Tte tickets. The reporta received
1 / the national committee from Various

the state of New York, the most har
monious, progressive, aggressive and
art of his party, with the history of
hlch both in his home state and na
tional city he has been identified for
many years, died at his apartments at
the Arlington hotel at 6:10 o'clock to
night, aged 60 years. The death was
announced in an official bulletin Issued
by the attending physicians, which
gave the cause of death as disease of
the mitral valve and dllltatlon of the
heart.
Mr. Payne had been in poor health
for at least two years, but his last ill
ness covered only seven days, an at
tack cf heart trouble last week pre
cipitating the end at a time when he
seemed to have recovered a small
measure of his vitality impaired by
years of arduous labor. Death this af
ternoon came after nearly six hours
unconsciousness.
The Inst official caller to Inquire as
Mr. Payne's condition was President
Roosevelt, and he had been gone only
about ten minutes when the stricken
member of his cabinet expired. Sec
retary Hay had called at the Payne
apartments a few minutes before the
president made his visit Neither
tered the sick room. As Mr. Roose
velt was leaving about 6 o'clock he
spoke feelingly of Mr. Payne to the
newspaper men gathered In front of
the hotel as "the sweetest, most lov-
able nnd most trustful mart I ever
knew.”
Mrs. Roosevelt accompanied by Capt.
Cowles was a caller at the family
apartments of the Paynes during the
late afternoon.
The last day had been one during
which practically all, hope had been
abandoned for some hours. The ap
proach of dissolution began during the
noon hour when the sick man lost
consciousness and no longer recogniz
ed those whom ho had attempted to
cheer during his illness by saying to
them that he was all right. When Mrs.
Payne saw that the end was near she
summoned the Rev. Dr. Dunlap of St.
John’s Episcopal church and at her
request he read at the bedside of the
dying man realm 150. "Out of the
Depths" and then repeated the pray
ers the Eplccopul church provides shall
be read at the bed of those about to
pass away.
Funeral services will be held at St,
John's Episcopal church In this city
next Friday morning and at 8:15 that
afternoon the body will be taken to
the Pennsylvania railroad* station and
placed aboard the private car of Presi
dent J. A. Earl ing, of the Chicago, Mil
waukee and 8t. Paul r&llroad, who
tendered the use of the car by tele
graph and announced that it would
be here by tomorrow morning. The
remains should arrive at Milwaukee
Saturday evening and services will be
held next Sunday at the All Balnts
Episcopal church there. A message
has been sent to the Rt. Rev. Isaac L.
Nicholson, the bishop of Milwaukee,
who Is now at a convention In Boston,
asking him If he can officiate,
terment will be at the Forest Home
Cemetery, Milwaukee. Mrs. Payne has
expressed a desire that the services
be as simple as possible. Further plans
for the funeral will be decided on to
morrow.

RAINED BLOWS IN
LIVINGSTON’S FACE
ATLANTA, Oct. 6.—A apeclal to the
Constitution from Conyers, Ga., nays:
In the course of his soeech here today
Col. C. P. Goree, Republican candidate
for congress, was named as an "Infam
ous liar” ,by Col. Lon Livingston, the
present Democratic congressman from
the Fifth district nnd candidate to suc
ceed himself. A lively light was pre
cipitated. ns Col. Ooree immediately
•prang at his opponent and began
raining blows In hia face. The two
men were separated before either was
Injured. Neither was arrested.
Col. Livingston’s reason for giving
Col. Goree the “lie’ was an allegation
made by Col. Goree to the effect that
a grandson of Col. Livingston had beer,
given an unusual Increase in salary
while working In the postoffice here.
NORFOLK, Va., Oct 4.—Upon the
petition of Charles Chauncey. of Mont
gomery county, Pennsylvania, Federal
Judge Waddlll today granted u tempor
ary injunction forbidding the merging
of the Seaboard Air LJne and the Sea
board and Roanoke railroads. Mr.
Chauncey holds $11,000 In 6 per cent,
certificates of Indebtedness issued-by
the Seaboard and Roanoke in 188e to
the amount of $690,000 and says $285,-
000 of this issuance are still outstand
ing. The Injunction was served upon
President J. M. Barr and General
Council Leigh R. Watts of the Sea
board Air Line at three minutes to
eleven o'clock today. A meeting of the
stockholders of the Seaboard und Roan
oke had been called for 11 o'clock and
It is declared the merger would have
been voted for at that meeting. Presi
dent Barr said tonight the proceedings
of no consequence. To the Anao-
clnted Press General Counsel Watts
said:
‘Mr. Chauncey Is Peeking to secure
protection for the holders of certifi
cates of indebtedness Issued by the
Seaboard and Roanoke- railroad and we
had already planned to give the very
protection he desires, but I do not
think he was aware of this when he
Instituted the proceedings. The mat
ter Is giving us no concern and I am
sure It will be settled without any
trouble.”
The Seaboayd Air Line has been di
recting the management of the Sea
board and Roanoke for severul years
and It Is claimed by the petitioner In
the proceedings that the merger would
have meant the complete destruction
of the corporate existence of the Sea
board and Roanoke railroad.
The case Is set for a formal hearing
In open court hero November Tth at
11 n. m., but the defendunta are given
the right of an earlier hearing, pro
viding they give five days notice to the
council for the plaintiff that they In
tend to move for a dissolution of the
injunction. A bond of $5,000 wss
quired today of the plaintiff.
After the injunction had been served
the Seaboard and Roanoke stockholders
elected the following officers:
James M, Barr, president.
D!rectors—Leigh R. Watts, Ports
mouth; R. C. Hoffman, Baltimore; J.
Dooley, Richmond; R. L. Nutt,
Portsmouth; C. E. Johnson. Raleigh;
N. C.: I. J. Miller. New York.
A meeting of the Seaboard and Tar
River railroad was held Immediately
afterwards, and the'same officers and
directors were chosen.
BOSTON. Oct. 4.—A general suppli
cation, coupled with r demand, almost,
for the inatitutlng of peace between
the nations of the world, was the key
note today of the first deliberative ses
sion of the thirteenth International
peace congress. Delegates from the
great countries of the globe, all prom
inent In their home lands, engaged In
the proceedings, giving to the occasion
all the dignity nnd Importance of a
momentous International assembly.
A feature of the opening session wns
the receipt of nn elaborate report from
the international peace bureuu for 1904,
In which was reviewed what has been
attained In the direction of peace by
the peace workers of the world during
the year passed, and also was set forth
the present war conditions of the world
necessitating correctionary methods by
those desiring the establishment of
universal concord. The ’ suggestion
was made that some collective move
might be made to Induce the Russo
Japanese belligerents to return t<
peace.
Edwin D. Mead, the chairman of the
organization committee of the con
gress, delivered the opening address cf
the meeting, speaking uu earnest word
In favor of the reduction of great na
vies nnd a general disarmament among
nations.
Robert Treat Payne, Sr., of Boston

and Dr. Benjamin F. Trublood, also of
this city, secretary.
Responses were made by one dele
gate from each of the countries rep
resented nt the congress. A general
commendation of President Roosevelt's
call for another Haguo congress mark
ed the addreHBos.

picles were held tonight. At one was

assembled in tho Lyric to listen to ad

Culberson of Texan, and Senator
Elect Iiildor Raynor, of Maryland. The
largo number of ladles In the audience
was one of the features of the meeting.
After tho Fourth regiment bnnd had

Senator Culberson. The senatftr ar
raigned the administration for Errors
of omission and commission that have
been made, during the past few yeara.
touched upon the race question; and
referred to Admiral Schley, "who had
been Ignored by the Republican lead
ers."
Next Gov. Warfield presented Ialdor
Raynor, United Htutes senator elect
from Muryland. Mr. Raynor devoted
some of his remarks to the race ques
tion, saying of the negroes:
“I would not deprive them of any
human privilege that God has given
them. I would civilise them, educate
them, und not deny them a single
guarantee accorded to them by the con
stltutlon; but the time will never come
when you cun combine and amalgamate
the races; they will never coalesce, and
the attempt of the president In thin
direction, Is the dream of a fanatic und
a visionary, that will never tie realized.
He can never force upon the people
of this country, either social or politi
cal equality. Providence has decreed
otherwise. It Is a decree as unbending
and Inexorable at the laws that gov
ern the universe. The president msy
cause great and serious trouble. He
may sow the seeds' of discord. He
may provoke Insurrection. He may
rouse the feelings of pusslon end re
venge. He may fill the towns and
hamlets of the South with turbulence
and disorder. He may rekindle the
(lr*« of prejudice and sectional hatred
and cause a deadly conflict of the races,
but let me predict to him, that lie will
never subordinate the Intelligence and
the refinement of the people of the
South to the rule of bnrbarlc Ignorance
and degradation, and lie will never
drive and scourge the people of any
Southern commonwealth Into submis
sion to his disastrous policy."
Referrlog to Admiral Hchley’s treat
ment by the president, Mr. Raynor
said Mr. Roosevelt broke his promise
to give the admiral a hearing nnd con
victed him under star chamber pro
ceedings.
