New York, July 11. ?Thomni
F. Ryan, who was . ? delcgato fron
Virginia to tho Democratic nation
al convention, reached his honn
here today from vSt. Louis. Speai
ing of the convention an?t its re
suits, Mr. Ryan said:
Lt\* f.'lL
one oravo stroke, wit!
the ai l of the solid south, ?Jndg<
Parker has reorganized and re
united the Democratic pivty.
" The fact that stand;-: out una
prominently in this reorganize
force is the attitude of the south
for the vote on Sunday mnrniin
shows that it is lliu south v/hivi
not only emphasized and ussertov
the necessity for a return to tinao
rial sanity, but it has led the wu^
and forced the lighting. To se<

ing-staoding uj> for sound finance
Hearing their delegates leading th
demand for it, was certainly grate
ful to one whose faith in the es
scntial political soundness of tin
people of that scet'on has b en :
part of his political being. Then
was no longer any fear to me.ntn.n
or t ? <idvdi'itl.c tlse gold standard,
not il.n ami?.n ii?w ??.m "
- - VHUi,;, I'
is true, hut as a recognition o
conditions already existent in t!r
financial policy of our govern
mvn+. Too much honor cannot b<
given to men like Williams ?
Mississippi, who in the conventioi
as on the floor of the house, ha
shown himself a real loader; t<
Sonalors Daniel, Curmach, *JT 1!
man and many others.
"But the real honors must b<
awarded to the people of tin
south, without whose assured cooperation
and support thia uuspi
cious result would have been im
possible. When the great solic
south really stands in doctrine u:
in votes by the side of the con'
servativc Democratic forces, it i:
certain the nnrtv is in n uiiv.nf
position. Whut it moans, not
only politically but industrially,
cannot now bo predicted, it car
only bo imagined.
"The courage, prescience am
leadership shown by .Judge Park
or in the initiation of this tinancia
victory entitles him to the conti
deuce and support of every Auicri<
can cili/.en. Never in all its his'
tory has the party entered upon t
great campaign more auspiciously
than upon the present one. Foi
a candidate to have said the righ
word at the right moment and ti
have done the right ucl just at tin
right tinio it was needed, it showoc
that we are entering a campaigt
not of expediency in which then
is to l>e dodging and futile explu

word."

Chicago, July 12.?As tho result
of a stubborn disagreement,
chiefly over wages for unskilled
labor, one of tho most extensive
strike the history of tho tr.ent
packing industry of the United
Slate- began today in Chicago,
lvuii- in i uy, uiniinn, Bt, Joseph,
Mo., and other cities where large
packing houses are located. if
pro I aged, 1he strike is expected
to catiro widespread inconvenience
possibly equaling tJiu anthrucito
coal '..initio of two years ago.
The unanimity of tho strike was
complete. More than 45,000 employee
are directly involved. In
Chicago alone 18,000 men tire on
striko.
The ctfect of the strike upon the
j food t. ipply of the country and the
prices or meat is being earnestly
