The committee récommended that the plow and hammer be adopted as the device for the peo- ple’ ticket. Mr. Voiles of Cincinnati moved toamend the report by substituting “The Home” ae the device for the head of the ticket. The figure of Justice holding the scales was also recommended for a device, but the report of the committe was finally adopted. ‘The report of the committee on rules and orde: of business was next read and adopted Chairman Cavanaugh then called for the re- BOTT, of the committee on resolutions. After « rief preamble the following resolutions were offered: PEOPLE'S PARTY PLATFORM. We hold that labor is the basis of all wealth and should be protected by law.

PALMER ELECTED BY ACCLAMATION. An enthusiastic delegate at this juncture moved that Palmer’selection be declared unan- imous, and ft prevailed amid great enthusiasm. Capt. John Palmer. the new commander-in- chief, was born on Staten Island, March 22, 1842, ‘and haea splendid war record.

Henry M. Duffield of Detroit was elected sertior vice commander by acclamation. THE COLOR LINE DISPUTE. The “negro question” is the subject of die- cussion this afternoon. It will occupy all the afternoon, but the indications ate that the col- ored comrades will win and that the white G. A. R. men of Louisiana and et will be compelled to admit the negro ex-soldiers to a fellowship in those states or leave the or- rr. ‘This means the rejection by the encampment of the recommendations of Commander-in-Chief Veazey, and herculean efforts are being made in certain quarters to prevent this. The whites of Louisiana and Mississippi still vow they will leave the order if the colored ex-soldiers win this fight for recognition. ‘THE RACE DISPUTE. Asensation has been created by the announce- ment that the report of the special committee on the race question recommends the crea- tion of a separate department for the colored veterans. ‘This is in accord- ence with the suggestions Gen. Veazey, but can only be adopted by@he encampment after a bitter fight. Ohio aud several olber promi- nent state departments will oppose the scheme toa man. ROBBED OF RIS REPUTATION. There was an extraordinary and according to many an unprecedented scene at last night's wunion of the seventh Michigan infuntry,when Muj. Robert W. Hendershot, known to Grand Army history as “the drummer boy of the Rappabannock,” was called upon to prove to the satisfaction of the regiment that he had real! crossed with the seventh Gert. Alger was among thove present. Hendershot pro- duced letters supporting bis claim from Lin- coin, Burnside, Grant, Horace Greeley and others, but on being put through a vigorous cross-examination he became greatly confused. In response to a call a ecore of comrades from Maseachusotts, Maine and other states rose to their feet, and, facing Hendershot, declared they had not seen him on December 11, 1362, when the regiment crossed the bridge. ‘The’ scene wax dramatic in the extreme, and finally it was decided that the drummer boy title properly belonged to John T. Spillane, a Police officer of Detroit. ee THE CHAMPLAIN DISASTER. A Detailed Account of the Wreeked Excursion Last Evening. Sr. Anpavs, Vr., August 6.-—The St. Albans agent of the Associated Press, who has just re- turned from the scene of the accident last night at Champlain, on the Ogdensburg divis- ion of the Central Vermont railroad, gives the following account of the disaster: An excursion train of ten cars, loaded with about 800 persons from along the line of the Ogdensbug. left Rouse’s Point on the re- turn trip at 7:15 o'clock lest evening with ordere lo meet No. 63 express train at Champlain, the latter train being ten minutes late. When the excursion train was within eighty rodsof the siding where it was to set off to meet the regular train, En- gineer Somers of the excursion train sightcd the regular on the main line near the switch, slowly backing to escape a collision. Engineer Somers immediately applied the brakes, but the momentum of the heavy excursion train was 60 great that it collided with the express train. ‘The engines came together with a crash. The engineers and firemen on both trains jumped and escaped injury. The two forward Passenger cars on the excursion partially tele- coped: instantly killing, two persons and in juring more or less seriously a dozen others. The passengers killed “are Wm. Angell, eighteen. from Champlain, N. ¥., and a young an named Vannet from Chateaugay Lake, . Who could not be fully identified. Henry La Mountain, a French tailor of Cham- piain, twenty-two years of age, had both legs cut off and died this morning from his injuries. ‘THE ISJUBED. ‘The more seriously injured passengers, with their injuries, are Mra.

A. ER. Encampment. ‘EXPRESSIONS FROM BUSINESS MEN COMMENDING ‘THE GOOD WORK DONE BY THE STAR IN ACCOM- PLISHING THIS RESULT—NOW THE COMIXG OF ‘THE VETERANS WILL BENEFIT THE CITY. The news received here last evening that Washington had been selected as the place for holding the next encampment of the Grand Army gave general satisfaction. It has been generally expected that the veterans would accept the invitation from the citizens’ com- foreign | mittee, and the full dispatches from the special tative of Tux Stam in Detroit have kept the public posted in regard to” the situation. However, the fect that the question had been decided was the general subjegt of comment through- out the city today. From the expressions of opinion heard on all sides there is no doubt but that the old soldiers will receive a warm welcome. The work done by Tax Braz in ae- sisting the movement started to bring the en- campment here is warmly commended, and in reviewing the events of the short but stirring campaign conducted by the citizens the taken by Tax Stax comes in for « share of the What a number of citizers think of of the encampment may be learned following interviews: WHAT COMMISSIONER BOSS SATS, “It's grand to know that we have won,” said Commissioner Ross, “and it speaks well for the advantages of Washington, for they were dis- oussed fully. It is hard to place the credit of the victory where it belongs, but there is no gainsdying the fact that Tue Star did yeoman servio: in securing the encampment for Wash- ington. The encampment will make many friends for Washington and stimulate business. It will be a stimulus that will Inst for some time to come.” Ex-Mayor M. G. Emery gaid that it was gratifying to know that Washington had been successful in her fight for the next encamp- ment of the Grand Army. “It will be a great thing for the city.” he sald, “and business will prosper. Tx Star has done much to bring about the victory.” THE WELCOME PROMISED. Mr. B. H. Warner said: ‘he broad and cor- dial invitation of Washington to the Grand Army of the Republic was in such marked con- trast with tho old spirit manifested toward the boys in ’61 that they could not help appreciate it. Many of them have not been hero since and hot kisses of war havo been kissed away by enial and gentle influences of peace. ‘he hands which were raisod to strike aro now extended in fraternal welcome. Washing- ton could have no other event that would ben- efit her as much. “The mud hole, the mule, the dirt cloud, the shanties, the immenso ambulance trains’ the soldiers were accustomed to see have passed away, and the asphalt streets, cortlier than hard- wood floors, the fine water eupply, Inxurions trees, shrubbery, magnificent and’ expensive residences, splendid horses and carriages, arks, museums will in contrast make a won: erful impression upon our guests. ‘Then, too, hope and joy will reign in the bosoms that were possessed by anxiety and apprehension. Every spot within miles of this great city will be full of hirtoric interest to the old men beni to ing the scars of hot war and to,their farpilies, to whom they will explain the hardships ehd trials of camp life. “T happen to own asacountry sent thenearest pisee occupied by the confederates when Gen. Early made his tamous raid into the District. It adjoins the Battle cemetery. It will be open for the boys and so will all the country round about the action from the the the THE STAR'S ENTERPRISE. “Tae Srarhas displayed wonderful liberality and enterprise, the committee have done noble and self-sacrificing work, the railroads have taken hold with almost a prodigal expenditure, our citizens haye responded nobly and all wi now catch hold of the ropeand pull for a grand snecess. I rejoice to seo this fresh evidence that our people are fully alive to the fact that | ¢ it pays to put in one dol taken out. “The one man who has worked for years for this encampment and who deserves more credit than any one else, who talked against hope until he made our business men understand the importance of the project, is R. J. Beall. “This victory is worth millions of dollars in cash to Washington. | Hurrab for pence, plenty and prosperity ! And Mr. Warner turned away to his pile of mail. Mr. M. W. Galt sai “It goes, I think, without saying, that the as- sembling of co large a number as the Grand Army of the Republic, added to those who will be drawn here on that occasion, that the hold- ing of the encampment in Washington next Year must, in the nature of things, add to the trade of the city, and that the Stan had a large share in bringing about the selection of Waah- ington as the proper place for the encamp- mont.” DUE TO THE INFLUENCE OF THE STAR. Mr. H. J. Fegan thought that the success of Washington in getting the grandarmy encamp- ment was largely due to the influence of Taz Stan. He thought the victory a great one and said that the encampment would be a great thing for Washington. “Tu Star has done its work well. The vie- tory is immense, and I think every citzen and merchant owes a vote of thanks to the great Sran for bringing the encampment of the Grand Army here next year,” said Mr. Van Wickle, the representative of the Bradbury Piano Company. “That hustling committee we sent away also deserves our congratulations. Washington will gain much.” Mr. Robert Leaing said that there was no doubt but that Washington had scored a great success in getting the next encampment ‘of the Grand Army, and that much of the honor and praise should be given to Tux Stax, which had done so much good work to further Washing- tor interests.
