DEMOCRATS 0 FIGHT FOR FREE SILVER Senator Brice 4o Be Opposed for Re-clection. : POST - CC INVENTION COMMENT Special-Correspondence of The Evening Star. COLUMBUS, Ohio, September 26, 1894. With this week the political campaign in Ohio will begin in earnest on both sides. The full democratic state executive com- mittee has been chosen, and the chairmai Allen W.Thurman, son of the “Old Roman, has begun to direct the democratic state organization from the headquarters here. Gov. McKinley opens the campaign for the republicans at Findlay tomorrow, and from now on will give most of his time to work upon the stump in this and other states. Maj. C. W. F. Dick, the republican state executive chairman, opened the republican state headquarters here nearly two months ago, and for the greater part of that time has maintained a force of clerks, No doubt he has bis campaign work noW well in hand, so far as it can be pushed before the stump work been begun. At a meeting of the republican state cen- tral committee here last week the full ex- ecutive committee was chosen. Up to that time only the chairman, Maj. Dick; the secretary, John R. Malloy, and the treas- urer, Wm. F. Burdell, had been chosen, and the work was left entirely in their hands. This will be the fourth consecutive state campaign to be. managed by Maj. Dick. He conducted the campaign three years ago, when Gov. McKinley was elected for the first time; two years ago, when the re- publicans were defeated so generally throughout the country and narrowly es- caped defeat in Ohio, and last year, when the state gave Gov. McKinley the largest republican majority ever given since Brough defeated Vallandigham, at the clore of the war. He is a young man, but it is evident that Gov. McKinley and the other party leaders have great confidence in his ability as a-manager. His colleagues in the new executive committee—twenty-one of them—seem to have been selected without regard to old factional lines, and one thing notable in the list is the reappearance of the names of prominent Foraker republi- cans who had retired from prominence in party affairs upon the ascendancy of Mc- Kirley and his friends. The only change in the officers of the executive committee is the substitution of Wm. F. Burdell for George W. Sinks for treasurer. Mr. Burdell is a young banker of this city. A Free Silver Campaign. The election of young Allen W. Thurman as executive chairman for the democrats means, of course, that the democratic cam- paign in Ohio this year 1s to be based prin- cipally upon the free silver plank of their platform, he being’ recognized as the most radical, if not the ‘ablest, advocate of free silver in the democratic party in this state. His father is known to share the free silver opinions. Pailen W. Thurman is much displeased at Senator Brice fér stating immediately after the state convention that the silver plank in the democratic. platform was indefinite and capable of being interpreted to suit the ideas of th¢ reader, and that for him- self he did not ‘propose to be bound by it. In the convention Thurman struck a ter- rific blow at ex-Govern Campbell for similar action when he had received the nomination for re-election as governor. The convention had declared for free silver. Governor Campbell was opposed to it, and this was generally known. In an interview he sald, when asked what he thought of the free silver plank, “Well, Vib chance it.'« This was generally ac- cepted as a repudiation of that part of the platform. When some one suggested, in the convention here last week, that free silver had defeated Governor Campbell and would defeat the party again if put in the platform, Thurman, in a speech from the stage, declared excitedly that it was not free silver that defeated Mr. Campbell, but the fact that he repudiated it. The free silver advocates in the demo- cratic state convention here last week voted in defense of Senator Brice and his sup- port generally went in favor of free silver. It was due to a joining of hands in this way that the free silver plank was inserted into the platform, and the resolution aimed at Senator Brice was kept out. That Sena- tor Brice should so soon break faith with the free silver men is not calculated to make them feel very friendly toward him. The Democratic Campaign. - ‘The democratic state campaign will be pushed this year under great disadvantages in this state. No one believed before the democrats held their state convention that there was the remotest possibility of elect- ing a democrat this year. Since the con- vention it is generally thought that the head of the republican ticket this year—S. M. Taylor for secretary of state, will have even a larger majority than Governor Mc- Kinley had last year, or somewhere about 100,000, Of course, this means that only the democratic candidates for Congress in dis- tricts where the democratic majorities are enormous will manage to be elected this year. The convention was the most turbulent in the history of the party in this state, and has left the party in poor condition for fighting. Senator Brice is little interested in the result this year, and will probably not contribute largely to the campaign in either money or effort. The party holds no offices in the state to which it can look for a campaign fund, and nothing can be ex- pected from Washington. But little more than a month remains for active campaign work, Chairman Thurman will not be able to do much in that time with the very lim- ited means in his hands. It is probable that there will be little or no speaking from the stump by the democrats. It is plain that the democrats have made a serious mistake in attempting to force the fight in so many different directions. In the free silver matter, in declaring in favor of the election of United States Sen- ators by direct vote of the people, and In denouncing the American Pretective As- sociation they have undertaken to do what the party Is by no means agreed ought to be done. A prominent member of the party. who is an ardent advocate of tariff reform and believes the fight should still be based upon that, said after reading the platform adopted by his party, that the party seemed to be inviting disaster, and that if t.ey wished to make the defeat a thorough one they shoula have added a plank criticising also the Catholig church. Senator friée’s Treatment. Senator Brice!fared badly in the siate ccnvention, and.,the resolution offered by Congressman Tom Johnson to cut him out of a possible ré-elpction to the Senate would have been adopted, no doubt, but for the ill-alvised 8peech of John H. Clarke of Youngstown. Clarke has been pratsed by the enemies of Seiiitor Brice for the now famous spegch ne made against the Sena¢ tor, but the fact/{§ that that speech more than anything “that was said defeated the anti-Brice reselution. Congressman Johnson had placed it upon the bréad’ plane of democracy. There was no mefhtion of Brice in it, or hint that i@referred to him. Left in that position it seems probable that the major- ity of the delegates would nuve voted for it. But when Clarke made his bitter speech against Brice, in support of the resolution, it put it in a different aspect, and all the conservatives who did not want to see a row voted against the resolution. The Senator will hardly be able to se- cure a re-election, at all events. The oppo- sition to him is strong. There is a general movement among his opponents in the party now to secure personal pledges from the democratic candidates for the legisla- ture next year that if elected they will not vote for Brice for United States Sena- tor. I: they refuse to make such pledges the anti-Brice democrats will support the republican candidaces or the ground that it would be better to send a republican to the Senate than a democrat who will vote with the republicans on purty ques- tions. —_—_—> The Japanese minister has notified the Italian government that Japan is desirous of immediately concluding a commercial treaty with Italy. - = HILL WITHOUT OPPOSITION The Nomination for Governor Forced on Him at Saratoga. He Was Angry at First, but Afterward Expressed His Gratitude—Mr. . Cleveland Approves. As was announced in a postscript edition of The Star yesterday afternoon, Senator D. B. Hill was nominated by acclamation by the Saratoga convention for governor of New York. During the roll call cheers greeted every mention of Mr. Hill. In the midst of the tumult over placing his name among the candidates, Bourke Cockran ob- tained the platform, and when he could be heard said: “Mr. Chairman and Gentle- men of the Convention: When the life of a nation is at stake, and the laws which gov- ern its existence are incapable of defending the rights of its citizens, the moment comes when all restraints must be thrown aside, and the supreme right of revolution in- voked. For the first time since the present Presiding officer of this convention as- sumed the leadership of the democratic party in the state, I am in revolt against him now, and ask this convention to disre- gard his decision and place upoh his sense of duty the acceptance of the nomination which he does not desire as a favor at his hands. (Applause.) “I am aware that there is no honor that the state of New York can confer upon its distinguished son which is not already bis, by honest battle in defense of popular rights and democratic principles. But I be- eve that there comes a time in the history of every man when the difficul! it sur- round him are the opportunities upon which he rises to higher planes. We must not deceive ourselves, We are confronted now with a situation which requires the demo- cratic party to array itself in its strongest armor, to choose its tried ard much-tested leader to carry jt through the crisis which confronts it. “The battle for the commercial and in- dustrial emancipation of the peuple of this country is not yet-over, and victory is not yet achieved. Upon the results of this eiecs. tion depend the future of democracy, in which is involved the future of this country. We must not take risk of failure. I recond the nomination of David Bennett Hili.” Senator Hill rapped for order, and when there was a lull, Congressman Cockran jumped upon the press table directly in front of the platform, and, waving his arm for order, said: “All in favor of the nomination of David B, Hill will say aye.” There was a perfect howl from five hun- dred threats. Nominated by Acclamation. “Contrary, no,” shouted Cockran, and there was not a voice. Turning to Senator Hill, he said: “Now, Senator, we summon you to your duty.” Again the delegates went wild with excitement, and for five minutes there was great disorder. Senator Hill insisted that order should be preserved, and the roll call continued. Senator Cantor jumped to his feet and said: “All in favor of Senator Hill's nomina- tion will say aye.” Ano’ shout and more disorder followed. Seffator Hill insisted upon order, and th roll call of assembly districts was begun. Mr. Hitt, on behalf of the Albany county delegation, withdrew Mr. Thacher's name and there was pandemonium once more. The leaders then restored quiet and the roll call proceeded. Each county named David B. Hill, and Clerk Defreest, amid great confusion, said: “David B. Hill bas received 383 vote;, all that were cast.” Delegates rushei for the stage and shout- ed for recess so as to forbid Senator Hill from refusing. The ieaders, however, op- posed adjournment on the very same ground, pave ee the convention went on with its work. Lieutenant Governor Sheehan then arose and nominated Daniel M. Lockwood of Buf- falo for the of Heutenant governor. The nomination wes made by acclamation, amid great applause. Mr. James D. Rell of Brooklyn named Judge Gaynor for judge of the court of appeals and the convention nominated him by acclamation. The usual resolutions were adopted and then the-move to adjourn was curried, Senator Hill saying: “The convention that is running itself wants to adjourn. 1 de- clare it adjourned.” The convention adjourned at 3:39 sine die. The platform, as printed in The Star yes- terday, with an additional plank directed against the A. P. A., was adopted unani- mously by the convention. Immediately after the nomination of the ticket Senator Hill was asked by an As- soctlated correspondent what he thought of the situation. “Oh,” he replied, with no little anger ex- pressed in his face, “it's an outrage. It's an outrage.” Senator HI Expresses Himself. Senator Hill was serenaded last night at Albany, and made the following remarks: “Fellow democrats and gentlemen of the Albany Phalang: For the gracious reception and the compliment of this serenade, I ten- der you my sincere thanks. This demonstra- tion is a part of unexpected events of a day which to me has been one of mingled sur- prise and embarrassment. The action of the democratic convention, which is the oc- casion of this assemblage, and which was as unforeseen by you as by myself, imposes responsibilities and obligations of which I speak tonight. ‘willing as I was to receive the honor which the convention, in spite of my pro- test, has sought to confer upon me, I am deeply touched by the unusual manifesta- tion of confidence and esteem which accom- panied the action of the convention, and to- right I can only express in feeble language a small part of the gratitude which I feel toward the Gemocracy of New York.” President Clevela Approves. In a signed telegram from Buzzard’s Bay last night, President Cleveland said: “No dcubt the convention has done the best thing possible. I think those who were there ought to understand the situation and know what was suitable to do. I have con- fidence that their best judgment was exer- cised.” Mr. Faire! Content. Ex-Secretary Ch: 8. Fairchild, chief of the anti-snappers, in a telegram to the New York World, say We are perfectly content with the result. i have felt from the beginning that 4t was pessibly unwise to come to the state con- verticn at all. On the other hand, there was a consideration that we should show our desire to take an official part in the support of the democratic party in the state of New York. This conveutien, after a full hearing, having deliberately rejected our of- fer, we can go back to New York relieved of what may have been embarrassing re- sponsibilities and prepared to confine our- selves to our immediate work of re-estab- lishing a democratic party in the city of New York, which shall receive and deserve the respect ard confidence of the democrats and the people of the state and the nation. We do not feel that the action of the state convention in the least impairs our power to do this. 4 — = ~eoo——____ A SHORT HONEYMOON. As Detailed im the Wife's BIN Asking for Diverce. On the 18th of July, 1889, Miss Nellie Connor, at No. 1210 K street, this elty, in the presence of Alma and J. Everett Baird, became Mrs. Alfred J. Wilson. That is, she so believed until some time later, when she discovered, upon inspecting her marriage certificate, that she had only become plain Mrs. J. Wilson. But, however it was, Mrs. Wilson today filed a petition for divorce from the man she married on that day, re- citing that the honeymoon waned in less than the usual time, charging that the man of her choice. Alfred J., or plain J., willfully deserted and abandoned her on the 13th day of the morth following their union. Either to defray his traveling expenses, or as a slight remembrance of his bride, the departing Mr. Wilson took with him about $100, so the deserted one alleges, all the money she then possessed. Mrs. Wilson assures the court that she does rot know where Mr. Wilson went, nor does she know where he .now Is or has been. She therefore prays that she may be grant- ed a divorce, and be permitted to resume ‘her maiden name. IN CLOSE DISTRICTS Where the Fight Will Be Hottest in Kansas. REPUBLICANS EXPECT A BiG VICTORY —----2- Confidently Look for the Election of Major Morrill. CLAIMS OF THE POPULISTS Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. TOPEKA, Kans., September 25, 1804. From this time until election day the con- test in Kansas between the populiets and republicans will be waged with increased energy. The fight will be centered in the close congressional and legislative districts, and, unless radical changes take place within the next six weeks, the result in at least three congressional and forty legisla- tive districts will be eo close that it will re- quire the official count to determine it. Up to the present time the campaign has been Prosecuted without reference to, district lines, and speakers have been sent into all Parts of the state by the state committees of both parties to arouse the voters and Prepare“them for the determined fight to be made during the last six weeks of the campaign. s The republican committee claims today that Maj. Morrill and the entire republican state ticket will be elected, by a majority over the populists of 20,000 to 30,000, and that the party can safely transfer the battle to the close congressional and legislative districts, and also elect the eight Congress- men, and insure the election of a republi- can to the United States Senate. Chairman Breidenthal’s (Claims. Chairman Breidenthal, in an interview with the correspondent of The Evening Star, denied the claim of the republicans today. He says the populists feel confident of the re-election of Gov. Lewelling, the state ticket, a majority of the Congressmen and a sufficiext number of members of the lower house of the iegislature to insure the election of a populist United States Sen- ator. Chairman Richardson of the democratic state committe2, while not claiming the election df his state ticket, insists that the vote for David Overmyer, democratic can- didate for governor, will surprise the people of Kansas and the nation. He says re- cruits are coming from the popultsts daily, and that many anti-prohibition republicans will vote for him. On the other hand, he says, the democrats will elect at least fit- teen members of the ure—enough to hold the balance of power in the joint con- vention—and vill name, the Senator, and that he will be a democrat. - At the present time the sentiment and enthusiasm is certainly with the republi- cans. This is evidenced by their big meet- ings, the organization of clubs, flambeau parades and the interest manifested among the rank and file of the party. The popu- lists have held many big meetings, but they have not yet been able to work up the enthusiasm that has characterized republican meetings. The nomination of ex-C Morrill for governer, by the republicans, was a big card. His acquaintance in the east ong the monied men, who have invested large- ly in Kansas securities has been taken up the battleery of the party and appeals are made to the voters to support a man who can assist in restoring the shattered credit of the state and the injury to its g00d name caused by populist vagaries and flat ideas promulgated by Senator Pef- fer, Congressman Simpson and others, in Cor » The same sentiment that gave Major Morrill a unanimous nomination is going to be a strong factor in the sena- torjal contest if the republicans win the legislature. The business men in the re- publican party insist that it is just as im- portant that a man of recognized business capacity and standing be elected to the Senate as it is that Major Morrill should be chosen governor, and that the politicians should recognize this fact and allow the men who pay the taxes to have something to say. This element in the party looks to Major Calvin Hood of Emporia as the best representative of the financial and business interests of the state. Major Hood is not an active candidate and says that unless the best element of the party should favor him he would not consent to enter the scramble. He was for many years the |- close personal friend and business associ- ate of Senator Plumb. He is a banker, and has a wide acquaintance in the east. He is a man who has the confidence and re- spect of men of all perties, and hit life has been spent at hard work. He has ac- cumulated a comfortable fortune, and the large element urging his candidacy put their support on the well-founded propo- sition that a man who has successfully conducted his own business can be safely intrusted with the business of the people. The other candidates for the Senate are J. W. Ady, J. R. Burton and A. W. Smith. Ady and Burton are lawyers of recognized ability. Smith is a farmer, and was the republican candidate for governor in 1892. He is a strong man among the farmers of If the populists win the legislature, there will be three candidates, but at the present time Judge Doster stands in about the same relation with his party as does Maj. Hood with the republicans. He is regarded as their strongest man, and already a num- ber of legislative conventions have instruct- ed the nominees for Doster. John W. Breidenthal and S. H. Snider are his oppo- nents, but there will have to be a great change in sentiment if they can even com- bine their strength and defeat him. While the senatorial election does not occur until January next, inte-est is just as great as if the ballots settled the matter on November 6. Of course they will, as far as the polli- ties of the Senator is concerned, and for that reason both parties are working with increased energy and the frices of the varlous candidates are on the alert and ac- tive. The candidates for Congressman-at-large are W. A. Harris, populist, and R. W. Blue, republicen. Congressman Harris is stronger than his party in Kansa: nd will probably run ahead of his tick 0) votes. But predictions as to the result in the state cannot now be made with certainty. First District. In the first district, which is now rep-e- sented by Congressman Broderick, republi- can, the populists and democrats have made a combination and nominated Harvey Solo- mon, a lawyer of Atchison. The combined democratic and populist vote in the district exceeds the republican vote 2.200, but there are so many internecine fights and bicker- ings in both parties, resulting in Solomon's nomination,that he carnot defeat Broderick. Solomon 1s a Cleveland democrat, and was nominated as the populist candicate. He declared he was for the principles of the Omaha platform when nominated. Mater, the democrats of the district met in conven- tion and nominated him on a platform which strongly indorsed the national ad- ministration. The result is that hundreds of democrats and populists ave openly fight- ing him, many of whom declare they will support Broderick, who, they say, voted for the free coinage of silver, and is,’ therefore, a safe representative. Leading populists — democrats concede Broderick’s elec- ion, Second District. There are three candidates in the seccnd district, which was, until he was recently unseated, represented by Congreseman Funston. The republican candidate is Judge O. Miller, a prominent lawyer of Kansas Cit Kan. Col. the present € sressman, is the democratic candidate, and F. A. Willard, a railroad man of Argentine, is the populist nominee. Friends of Con- gressman Moore have made overtures to the populist committee to withdraw Willard, but without avail, and it is now certain — effected and one of the candidates with- drawn; but this is not probable now. Third District. The battle of the state is really centered in the third district. Congressman Hudson was elected by 2,400 plurality in 1802, but today the republicans confidently claim the election of 8. 8. Kirkpatrick, who is making one of the most remarkable campaigns in the history of the state. To add to the discomfiture of the populists Congressman Hudson withdrew from the contest on the ground that he could not afford to make the race from a pecuniary point of view. This, the republicans declared, was a con- fession of weakness. This action, of course, necessitated the calling of another conven- tion for the 27th instant to nominate another candidate. There are a half dozen applicants, and no matter how strong the candidate, the delay and frustration caused by Congressman Hudson's action*has been of great benefit to the republicans. Then the democrats who had affiliated with Hud- son for years declared that his course in de- fending the Coxeyites in Washington was unwarranted, and they held a convention and nominated W. F. Sapp, who will re- ceive 1.500 or 2,000 votes that would other- wise be cast against Kirkpatrick. Both re- publicans and democrats will put their ablest campaigners in the third district. The result cannot be predicted with cer- tainty; it may require the official count to determine it. Fourth and Fifth Districts. Congreseman Curtis will be re-elected ta the fourth district by from 4,009 to 6,008 plurality. He defeated Wharton, demo- cratic-populist candidate, two years ago by 2,480. Now T. J. O'Neil is the democratic candidate, and he will divide the opposition with S. M. Scott, populist. There are three candidates in the fifth, but the battle is between Congressman Davis, populist, and W. A. Calderhead, re- publican. Davis won two years ago with the populist and democratic support by 1,150, He is not as strong now as then, and from the advices received by she republican com- mittee Calderhead’s «lection ie claimed by 1,000 plurality. Sixth and Seveuth Districts. There has been such an exodus of drouth- stricken farmers from the sixth and seventh districts that it is imposstble to de@rmine which party has suffered most. Repub- licans claim that out of every ten voters who have left the state at least seven are Populists, for the reason that they are gen- erally renters and have no lands to hold them. They also claim that the old roldiers who aze receiving pensions are remaining on the plains, afd that they are almost uni- versally republicans, On the other hand, the populists say they have investigated this matter, and that it is @ stand-off between the parties. Upon the above cluim the republicaus say they will defeat Jerry Simpson in tne seventh and Wm. Baker in the sixth districts. Judge A. H. Ellis, the republican candidate againet Baker, is making a campaign of great vigor and force. Persons who cave attended his Baker will be defeated by Ellis, republican. In the seventh district the democrats met in convention and declined te nominate a candidate. The majority of them will sup- pert Simpson, and a few will vote fer Long, the republican candidate. Simpson, as the fusion candidate, was elected by 1.700 in 1sv2, but he was supported by several thou- send Cherokee strip boomers, who had been waiting for two years along the southern border of Kansas to go into this new El Dorado. Added to this loss will be the exo- us from the drouth-stricken district, which is an uncertain quantity. Another drawback to Simpson is his con- tipued ill health. He is unable to make a canvass of the district, but he has called to his aid Congressman lence of Colorado, of Iilinois and other well- . Simpson still holds the advantage, and is reasonably certain of re-election. As it appears now, it seems almost certain that the republicans will have five, and pos- sibly seven, of the eight (Congressmen from Kansas. If the republicans win the state, they will elect six. They say the visists of McKinley and Reed will give them the en- tire delegation, but there is no probabiliy of such a sweeping result. nails: POLITICAL NOTES.
