Secretary Tracy’s Trouble in Getting Man-of-War to Take Him to Hayti. THREE COMMANDERS WHO FOUND EXCUSES FOR NOT SAILING WITH MR. DOUGLASS—THE FOURTH ONE ACCEPTS THE DUTY IMPOSED ON HIM— WHAT CAN BE DONE ABOUT IT. The difficulties experienced by Secretary Tracy in getting Minister Douglass started for Hayti on board a mhan-of-war furnish a fruitful topic for speculation just now among naval officers, The end of the matter probably came when the Kearsarge. with the minister on board, weighed anchor in New York harbor yesterday morning and sailed southward with A NEW COMMANDER ON BOARD, There will undoubtedly be no further official action in the premises, although the New York Sun today says: It is rumored at the Brooklyn navy yard that Capt. Shepard is virtually under arrést, although walking around the ‘d in citzen’s clothes, Had it not been for the stern disciplinary ideas of the Secretary the un- willingness of ship commanders to carry the colored plone might have continued until the list of vessels at home were exhausted. but there were evidences that the Secretary’s patience was about exhausted at the third delay and the fourth man selected wisely accepted the detail without a murmur. The Secretary absolutely refuses to make any statement whatever about the matter, but the facts are about as follows: THE CASE OF COMMANDER KELLOGG, Commander Kellogg had asked some time before the minister made up his mind to start to be relieved from the Ossipee, but his re- quest was disregarded. There was trouble be- tween himself and Admiral Gherardi, and there was also # difficulty between him and some of his officers on board ship. These strained relations caused the atm: ere to be very uncomfortable and when the Ossipee was selected to carry the minister to Hayti the com- mander went to the Secretary and repeated his oy leds The conversation was very pleasant and the two parted in good humor, but the re- lief was granted. COMMANDER EVANS was selected for the billet, but he found flaws in his boilers, and aithough he represented that he was willing to sail down to Hayti, the report of his engineer relieved him of this necessity. THE Last straw. Although there was as yet no actual evidence of a disinclination on the part of his officers to carry the colored man, Secretary Tracy began to smell powder, and it is said was somewhat rovoked at the necessity of changing his plans, ‘is temper waa sorely tried when Capt. Shep- ard wrote him the day after the Kearsarge had been selected, that he could not see how he could accommodate the Douglass party on the short notice given, and that if they went he would be obliged to gi ave up his own quarters.- trouble was that the captain has the rey ion of being a crotchety person- age, who Tlikes being discommoded. Fe had gone ahead in his own rut so long that the prospect of a change rather nettled him. There ‘was leaped no intention to rebel on his part, and his letter was undoubtedly meant merely to gain time. It brought forth arather unex- pected and, it is supposed, welcome reply in the shape of a relief from duty. THE MINISTER OFF AT LAST. Capt. Whiting was put in command. Com- modore Ramsay, in command of the yard, or- dered the necessary extra equipments for the vessel, such as linen and table furniture, and the Kearsarge sailed on scheduled time. NOTHING OAN BE DONE ABOUT IT, Inasmuch as no one of the three officers has done anything amenable there will be no court-martial or other form of official punish- ment, although some naval officers think it is uite likely that the Secretary will not in th future be over well disposed toward them. DISTRICT APPOINTMENTS. The President Will Not Make Them Be- fore Congress Assembles, It is the purpose of the President now not to make any of the District appointments until after Congress meets, and, perhaps, somewhat later than that. The reports from departments are coming in to him quite rapidly and he is engaged in looking them over in connection with the work on his message. These and other important matters render it impossible for him to con- sider the District affairs at this time. When the matter is taken up it is believed that the first office filled will be that of register of wills, The two most prominent candidates for that office are Col. Amos Webster and Secre- tary Blaine’s brother. Secretary Blaine is taking no part in the contest and there is a general impression at this time that Col. Web- ster will be appointed. The President has two men in his mind for recorder of deeds,one of whom will be ap- ees when the time comes. ‘There is no jonger any sort of show for Corporal Tanner. The new district attorney will be speninted in the spring, it is understood, and it is more than possible that Postmaster Ross will continue in office until the end of his term, which is about two years off. BEE WHQ WILL SUCCEED TANNER? i Some Doubt as to Cumpbell’s Appoint- ment—Gen. Hartranft Suggested. There is now some doubt raised as to the ap- pointment of Mr. Campbell of Kansas to be pension commissioner, It is understood that Secretary Noble is anxious that he should be appointed, and considerable pressure is, of course, being brought to bear in his favor. The President, it is understood, is favorably disposed to him and would make the appoint- ment but for one thing; he wants to get a man of wider national reputation. The suggestion of General Hartranft of Pennsylvania for the osition is said to have greatly pleased the resident, and there is likelihood that if the general wil accept he may have the appoint- ment, There is some dou! however, as to whether he would accept, and Mr. Campbell’s sppomimant is not entirely out of the ques- ion. Interior Department Changes. The following cfficial changes have been made in the Department of the Interior: Office of education—Appointment: Weston Flint of New York, statistician, $1,800, vice Chas. Warren. (Mr. Flint was formerly libra- rian of the pe office), General land office—Promotion: Wm. ,L. Spalding of New York, clerk, $1,600 to $1,800.

THE ANTI-MAHONE CONFERENCE MASSACHUSETTS DEMOCRATS, They Hold a State Convention—Chaire Man Matthews’ Speech. Worcester, Mass., Oct. 2—The democratic state convention is not as largely attended as many of former years and at the time of call- ing to order Mechanics hall held but few spec- tators, At 11:25Chairman P. A. Collins of the state central committee called the convention to order and immediately announced the commit- tee on credentials. The temporary organiza- tion was then effected with P. A. Collins as temporary chairman. Mr. Collins made no formal speech, proceeding at once to the appomtment of the committee on perma-j nent organization, While the committee was deliberating the committee on credentials re- ported. Their report was accepted and the committee on permanent organization reported, naming Nathan Matthews, jr.,of Boston as permanent president, Hon. P, A. Collins, first Vice president, and the usual list of vice presi- dents and secretaries. President Matthews was conducted to the platform and introduced by Mr, Collins, He was enthusiastically receive and addressed the convention as tollows: Chairman Matthews’ Speech. Mr. Matthews in thanking the convention for the honor it had conferred upon him attributed his selection to the general recognition of the fact that the young men of the state are casting their fortunes with the democracy, being more concerned about the living issues of the day than with the spent traditions of the past. They also see in democracy a system of politics peculiarly American, led by men who, in elec- tion times, appeal to reason and patriotism rather than prejudice or hate. The party en- deavors to conduct an honest, decent campaign, without slander, forgery or bribery, and when successful gives the people an honest, clean and efficient administration. If defeated it accepts the result in a manly democratic way, without ‘returning boards” or “electoral com- missions,” and its candidate for President re- tires to private life with honor and applause. With the party neither wealth nor the owner- ship of a political machine isa necessary condi- tion of preferment, and the best men are put up as candidates for public office, as in the te stowal of the nomination for governor upon a me man without money solely by reason of is conspicuous ability. THE LEADING ISSUE OF THE CAMPAIGN of 1888 was met by the party, as it has been in every tariff campaign from 1800 to 1860, to the nd that no uanecessary taxes should be levied and no surplus revenue stored up as a tempta- tion for extravagant expenditure. Our efforts to elect the candidates who represented these fam! applications of American democracy were met by a campaign of misrepresentation, personal slander, forged quotations, intumida- tion and appeals to sectional hatred, but, al- though the people voted by a substantial ma- jority in favor of the democratic candidates ‘and policy, their will was defeated through the operation of au electoral system which encour- ages the concentration of money in doubtful bye and the division of “floaters” in “blocks of five.” We wore told that the prosperity of the coun- was due not to the intelligence and in- dustry of the people, nor to the lavish gifts of nature, but largely, if not wholly, to taxation; yct it has happened that since Harrison's elec- tion work has been getting less and wages lower, accompanied y strikes, lock outs, famine, violence und Pinkerton’s detectives, and the men who shouted loudest for high tariff and paid the most to get it are foremost now in reducing the wages of their men. THE RECKLESS ADMINISTRATION OF THE PEN- SION BUREAU in an attempt to fulfill still more reckless cam- paign promises has caused a public scandal and the pension list has been thrown open, by a de- artment Saas to deserters and others dis- Eouorably discharged, In state affairs the re- publican party bas not been slow to imitate the practices of its worst leaders in Washington, and the republicanism of Andrews, Sumner and Wilsou have given way to that of Blaine, Mahone andtQuay. The legislature just ad- journed was the most republican and admit- todly the most corrupt in recent years, and their insincere quibbling over the liquor ques- tion, the poll tax and the school laws furnishes # record of incompetency that even the repub- }- lican majority in Congress will find it hard to equal, The Platform. The platform states that the democratic party of Massachusetts renews its allegiance to the platform adopted by the last national dem- ocratic convention aud declares its continued and hearty support of the cause of tariff re- form and firm conviction of its success in the near future; reaffims the demands for free raw material and lower duties upon the necessities of life; believes that free wool is essen- tial to the prosperity of the woolen industry, while it will afford relief & all consumers of woolen goods; calls atten- tion of tho turmers tothe relief they will re- ceive through the reduction of customs taxe: upon articles which they use; gives hearty sup- port to the petition of the present governor and other leading iron and steel manufacturers addressed to Congress, asking for free coal and iron ore and lower duties on pig iron; demands that all materiuls for ship building be relieved from the heavy taxatiou now imposed and MADE FREE OF DUTY; favors a continuance of the sound and pro- gressive policy in the administration of naval affairs, established with such eminent success by Secretary Whitney; favors closer commer- cial relations between the United States and Canada, and declares that the practical and immediate method of securing such closer rela- tions is thought a treaty of partial or entire i i trade between the two countries; THE FUUR NEW STATES.

North Dakota, Fanoo, N. Dax., Oct. 2.—It was 1 o'clock this morning before the votes in the various wards in Fargo were counted. Miller (rep.) received 744 for governor to 630 cast for Roach (dem.). The vote on Congressmen was about the same. McConnell (dem. ) is apparently elected district jadse over Newman (rep.). The republicans have no doubt elected their entire legislative tickets in various legislative districts of this county with the possible exception of Branden- burg, candidate for the senate from the eleventh district. ‘Twenty-cight precincts, including three wards in Fargo, cast 983 votes against end 888 for the prohibition articie. The other vbree wards are strongly opposed to prohibi- tion and added, perhaps, 300 votes against it THE VOTE ON THE CONSTITUTION is almost unanimous. Throughout the state the total vote is not so heavy as was expected, probably about 37,000, Many people have moved away from Ramsey, Eddis and Nelson counties owing to the failure of the crops. The legislature is strongly republican, The demo- crats elect senators in the first, second, third, twelfth, sixteenth, eighteenth, nineteenth, twentieth, twenty-fifth, twenty-seventh and twenty-eighth districts. The republicans get twenty, with the twenty-third district in doubt. Republicans also get thirty-six members of the assembly, The democrats get eighteen and there are five districts in doubt. Hansbrough (rep)., is elected to Congress by about 12.000 majority. The contest over the judgeshi is extremely close. Reports from Grand For! say thet Thomas Pebioa and other northern eee indicute that Templeton (dem.) has eaten O'Keefe (rep.) in the first district. D. E. Morgan (rep.) is elected in the second. In the third McConnell (dem.) seems to have de- feated Newman (rep.). Lauder (rep.) is elected in the fourth, and Winchester (rep.) in the fifth. The sixth (the Jamestown district) probably elected Rose (dem. ), though his me- jority may not be 100. The probibitionists claim to have carried the territory. Fa:go, Bismarck and Grand Forks voted strongly pro- liquor, and unprejudiced calculators believed prohibition is beaten by at least 6,000. The constitution has been indorsed with a rousing majority. AT REPUBLICAN HEADQUARTERS the entire state ticket is claimed by from 10,000 to 12,000. while at democratic headquarters Chairman Ryan asserts that from reports now at hand, official and otherwise, the republicans will carry the state by not to exceed 5,000, Maratta (for Congress) is claimed by the demo- crats to have been elected, but definite figures have not yet been received. The republicans claim the election of Hansbrough to Congress, South Dakota. Mrxnearouis, Mr estimates of the reswit in South Dakota is as follows: Up to this hour (2a.m.) not enough details of the vote has been received to state the re- sult of the South Dakota election in actual figures, but dispatches from the principal towns, including those that tor the choice as temporar; the republicans have mu ’ a clean sweep of the state. The majority, as shown by the vote for Meliette tor governor and Pickler and Gif- ford for Congress, will be from 10,000 to 12,000. The republicans will have a majority in the legislature, thus insuring election of two republican United States Senators. The constitution is carried almost unanimously and minority represenfation is so far in the minority to be almost lost sight of. There is hardly joubt that prohibition has carried, as the clause got a good majority in many of the leading towns and everywhere its success is conceded. The capi question is mixed, Watertown claims to have enough to win and the other candidates make equally favorabie claims. But as it appears now Pierre is in the — Huron a ciose second and Sioux Falls thir SIOUX FALLS TO BE THE CAPITAL. Mixxearonis, Mixx., Oct, 2.—Sioux Falls special to the Journal says: The capital com- mittee feels positive that Sioux Fulls bas se- cured the temporary capital. It lies between her and Pierre. The latest returns place Sioux Falls’ vote at 7.000; Hi 4,000; Ly gropy woes si bear TO DEFEAT MAHONE. The Anti-Conference Organizes a State Committee. ‘Special Dispatch to Tre Evexrwe Sram, Ricumonp, Va, October 2 The snti-Mahone republican conference ad Journed this morning at 3 o'clock after making arrangements to thoroughly organize the state against Mahone. A state committee was @p- | poimted, headed by Maj. Samucl M. Yost of Staunton as chairman and Hermans of Mont x from all tthe present of the state, and nearly all subscribed to £ fund & circulate their address and other documents. THE RESOLUTIONS: The following report was © conference this morning before adjournment: ‘We, republicans from all : i aerate hy =* irginia in 1. Made it impossible for the N. it ‘the Norfolk ticket to be elected. 2. He has deceived the national committee by a pretended com: ise, the conditions of ohic be has not only made no effort to carry out, but violated both in letter and spirit, 3. He has taken from the —— party their plan of organization, which was founded on the will of the people. ; 4. He bas adopted a plan of organization his own, which is both hatyful and tyrranieal, 5. He bas driven from the counsels of the party the ablest and most popular men in it, 6. He has removed county chairmen in order ) pack conventions to do his will. 7. He has tried to force the unit rule to carry delegations to the national conventions to rep- resent him and not the people. 8. He has refused to abide by the decisions of the national republican party in couvention assembled. 9. He has refused to hear our grievances and treated our overtures for peace with con- tempt, 10. He has placed himself at the head of a ticket and labeled it republican without the consent of the republican masses, 1. He has debsuched the party and made loyalty « matter of merc ine, 12. He bas meddied with and in many in- stances dictated county nominations, 13. He has forfeited his right to the confi- dence of the people of Virginia, 14. That the defeat of Wriliom Mahone is essential to the salvation of the republican party. 15. That itis the sense of this conference that no recommendation be made as to the course to be pursued either by the members thereof or those throughout the state who are in sympthy with us, but each voter on election day be advised to take the action his individual judgment approves, look- ing to the end we all have im view. Frazier of Rockbridge struck the key- note of the conference when he said that when he wanted to kill a rattlesnake be hit it on the bead and then pounded its tail till it couldn't wriggle. This was in response to Wise's proposition to cross Mahone's name ited by the out and vote for Slemp and Lurt The sentiment of the conference was that the triumph of Mahoneism was the greatest calamity that could befall the state and that it would kill out the party in Virginia, Hence they pronounce that his defeat is neces sary and every one was urged to use such means as would best effect this object, It is believed that at least half the confer- ence were for voting the full democratic state ticket as a choice of evils. CIVIL SERVICE REFORM. Resolutions Passed by the National League in Philadelphia Today. Pamapevrsia, Oct. 2.—The National civil service reform league met in Parlor C, of the Continental hotel this morning. The members were a little slow in arriving, and it was nearly 11 o'clock before the doors were thrown open, President George William Curtis announced that the first business of the mecting was the election of a president. Charles J, Bonaparte was quickly on his feet with a motion that the present president be declared elected by acclamation, When President Curtis reminded the members that the constitution required that officers be elected by ballot Mr. Bouaparte amended his motion by direct- ing the secretary of the league to cast the bal- lot of the league for George William Curtis, and this was carried without a dissenting voice. Mr. Curtis thanked the leqgue for ‘the re- newed expression of its confidence, and re- marked that it was interesting to know that Oct. 2.—The Tritune's | the rule of a single term did not apply to all resideucies, ie was giad to note this sign of happy harmony that had always distinguished the deliberations of the league, ‘The report of the treasurer showed receipts during the year of $976.08, and disbursements 2716.62, leaving « im the treasury of $259.46. Sherman 8. Rogers read The Following Resolutions: The resolutions, after recognizing the steady advance of the reform sentiment in the public mind quotes the civil service plank in the last republican platform, and the paragraph in the President's letter of acceptance referring there- to, sa; Itis the duty of the league to consider how these solemn pledges have been fulfilled. The personal r, ability and experience and the unquestionable and fearless devotion to reform of the members of the civil service commission appointed by the administration, and the sup- port accorded tothem by the President de- werve the heartiest commendation, The administration of the re form law has been improved by regulations making the eligible lists public and permitting the appoiutwent upon local boards of members whose tenure in the service is ime dependent of the heads of the respective class- itied offi The execution of the law, however, is se- riousiy endangered by the appointment, with few exceptions, as heads of offices within the classified service of men who are not in sym- pathy with the law or its purposes, but who are iu many cases its Open or secret enemies. A brief necessary delay in the preparation of eligible lists by the civil service commission was improved to sweep out of the railway mail service hundreds of employes, regard- less of efficiency, and anto)=— their vacancies were hurried huudreds of partisans of the administration with but « subordinate regard to their fitness, In the civil service generally the President sccms in great meas ure to have abdicated his constitu- tional power of appointment by placing the appointments at the disposal of partisam leaders, thus enabling them to debauch con- stituencies and Control elections, Thus the pledge of the President that fitness and aot party services should be the sole discriminating test of appuintment is disregarded. REMOVALS OF POSTMASTERS, An equally flagrant violation of pledges is the removal of thousands of public officers, es- jially in the postal service, for mere i- years of faithful en and universally Tecognized to be peculierly fitted for thett’ several positions and whose only fault was their unwillingness to seck to extend the civil service examinations to the census bureau, inasmuch as the proper ar of the duties of that bureau imperatively demands entire freedom from partisan spirit, 4 REPEAL OF THE FOUR TEARS’ Law. ‘The league renews it earnest declaration of Ei importance that every officer should z Ft the mone rewrmes which accom} thor ity that every incentive to stro} To stimulate the official conse sposibility the league recommends stituent avsociations the widest publication te g 287 ¢¢ of
