WHO WILLBE THE DELEGATES-AT LARGE ; Mr. Gorman Forecasts the Two Parties’ Financial Plank. THE MICHIGAN REPUBLICANS Special Dispateh to The Evening Star. BALTIMORE, Md., May 6.—The demo- cratic state central committee met at the Carrollton Hotel at noon today to fix dates for holding the state convention and the district conventions. Chairman Talbott presided, and there was a large and en- thusiastic attendance. held in Baltiomore Wednesday, June 10. The following dates have been named for the congressional conventions: First dis- trict, August 20, Ocean City; second, Sep- tember 2, Havre-De-Grace; third, Septem- ber 16, Baltimore; fourth, September 16, Baltimore; fifth, September 3, Baltimore; sixth, August 27, Oakland. The meeting of the committee was the oc- casion of a large assemblage of democrats from all over the state and the scenes about the lobby of the hotel recalled the old gath- erings of politicians there when the de- mocracy was supreme in Maryland and a republican administration something un- dreamed of. Senatcr Gorman arrived at an early hour this morning. During the forenoon he held an impromptu reception in one of the up- per parlors of the hotel, and many of his admirers greeted him. ‘The most conspicu- ous feature of the meeting was the abserce of the “reforn:’ element, which contributed so largely to republican success last fall. ‘onsiderable speculation has been in- ulged in as to the probable demeanor of this faction, end a prevailing belief that the reformers rot only would att the meeting, but would demand a of concessions from the regula: Noth- ing of the sert occurred, however, ard the regulars controled the whole atiair as if the disaffected faction never had ex- isted, an] the summary of an old ward worker, who said, “We don't intend to run after the antis or in anywise consult them; if they want to turn in and work they are welcome, but we have nothing to ask of them,” is a good illustration of the situa- tien. Senator Gorman, when asked by The Star correspondent what he thought the action of the Chicago convention would be on the currency question, replied: “Both the Chicago and St. Louis con- ventions will, in my opinion, adopt practi- cally the same platform as far as the currency is concerned. That is, they will both declare for sound money. ‘There will, doubt! in Chicas men will is pract y decided that three of the delegates-at-large to the Chicago conven- tion will be the three defeated candidates on the democratic state ticket last fall— John E. Hurst, Charles C. Crothers and Marion Dekalb Smith—the fourth will be erator Gorman, if he can be induced to go. As to this Mr. Gorman declines to make a Statement, but if the wishes of his friends, whose delight at his presence here today is mest unbounded, prove eifective, he will lead the Murylard delegation. be a contest over this question . but I believe the sound money WILL MEET TOMORROW. Michigan Republican Convention to Assemble at Detroit. Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., May 6—The re- publican state convention will be held in Detroit tomorrow. Gen. Alger will be nom- inated as one of the delegates-at-large to St. Louls by acclamation. Thomas J. O’Brien of this city and Capt. John Dun- stan of Houghton are tolerably certain. For the fourth delegate Mark Brewer of Pontiac, Perry Hanna of Traverse City, ex- Governor Luce of Coldwater, Eddy of Bay City and Gilchrist of Alpena, are candi- dates, and doubtless others will material- ize. Governor Rich was a candidate, and it was thought would easily pull through, but he has withdrawn his name. The republican convention will be har- monious. The silverites may make a little noise and demand recognition, but there will not be enougn of them to make any serious trouble, and those who do attend will be unorganized. The convention will straddle the money question, or at most will make a declaration that’ means noth- ing in particular, and will whoop it up for McKinley,protection and reciprocity,coming out strong on the two latter. The most in- teresting feature of the convention itself will be the election of a chairman of the state central committee to succeed Senator MeMillan, who declires to serve another term. Charles W. Watkins of this city, Governor Rich, Stanley W. Turner and Al bert Pack have been mentioned. The ehair- manship may be put over for the nominat- ing convention later, but such delay is un- usual. The gubernatorial candidates will, of course, all be in evidence, and each will have his headquarters and workers and the booms will be tightened up generally. Defeat of the Silver Men. The free silverites were defeated at the democratic convention in Detroit last week, but the victory is one whfch the administra- tion forces cannot point to with any de- gree of pride when the future is taken into consideration. The silverites clearly had a large majority of all the delegates elected in county conventions. But they did not or could not attend the convention, while every sound money delegate was on the ground, and, in addition, many came to vete for gold on proxies secured from sil- ver delegutes. The convention was a grand convocation of office holders, and it was the federal influence more than anything else that won the day for sound money. L. Andrews, a revenue agent, with headquarters at De- troit, with orders direct from Washington, made a tour of the state the week before the convention. He telegraphed to the post- masters ahead to meet him at the depot when the train arrived, and he urged them to attend the convention at all hazards as delegates, if possible; on proxies, if they could get nothing better; and as individuals, if in no other capacity. They responded as they never had in Michigan before, and in this manner control was secured of the convention, and a delegation was elected to the national convention accordingly. Bitterness in the Ranks. The victory for sound money is for the national convention only. The methods used to defeat them even more than the results have thoroughly stirred the free silver democrats, and they will go into the campaign for revenge.

They will have difficulty to find a candidate to head the ticket, and a wooden Indian, if given the republican indorsement, would go through flying. If the republicans refuse to nominate Mayor Pingree the democrats will find in him a willing candidate for the nomination, and will take him up, because they will be unable to find anybody elxe to take it. Should Pingree be nominated by the republicans or if he should decline :to listen to the words of the democratic tempter, the democrats might just as well go out of the business, as far as their chances are concerned, of electing anybody or anything. pBLICA CARRY ST. PAUL. RI End of an Exciting Campaign in the Northwest. ST. PAUL, Minn.. May 5.—The city elec- tion here yesterday came after a super- heated campaign, with a number of star features. The republicans nominated a ticket, headed by Frank B. Doran, who was their unsuccessful candidate for mayor two years ago. In fact, their general ticket was the same as then. The regular democratic committee called a convention, but there were irregularities in the way the delegates were chosen, and when the convention met a majority of the delegates bolted. Those who remained, however, name a full ticket. The bolters or- ganized and named a full ticket, calling it “democratic citizens." Last week the demo- cratic citizens managers petitioned for an injunction against the placing by the city clerk of the “democratic” ticket on the offi- cial ballot, alleging illegality and fraud. The injunction was granted, and the tickets yes- terday were the democratic-citizens, repub- lican and prohibition, the people's party resting content with the indorsement of se- lected candidates on the other tickets. The campaign was fought for economical city goveriment, and both parties avowed their purpose of giving It. At 10 o'clock Jast night the Globe Demo- erat conceded the election of the entire re- publican ticket, by not less than 2,000 ma- jority. At the same hour the Pioneer Press claimed 3,500 majority for Doran, republi- can, for m r. Later returns made- but slignt change in this. At midnight the re- turns showed that Doran, republican, was elected mayor; McCarthy, republican, con- troller; Horst, republican, treasurer, and the republicans elect all assemblymen and ail but one alderman, ee ATTACKED WITH BRICKS. Mob at Milwaukee Resent the Run- ning of Cars, x MILWAUKEE, Wis., May 6.—The most serious disturbance since the strike was in- augurated occurred last night, when a mob of 6,000 men and boys attacked three Far- well avenue, East Side, cars. It was the first attempt to run cars at night, and each was crowded with policemen. The mob lined either side of the track, and as the cars appeared hundreds of bricks and sticks were thrown by the mob. Every window in the three cars was smashed, and many of the policemen were struck by the missiles. ‘The patrolmen formed in a squad and re- peatedly charged the rioters. Several ar- Tests were made. The police then visited all saloons in the vicinity of the car barns, forctbly ejected the throngs of men in them, and ordered them closed. At midnight the riotous crowd had been dispersed. ——.__ ARRESTED AT CONSTANTINOPLE. The Agitator Suspected of Instigating the Shah’s Murder.

M’KINLEY’S POSITION Action of the Springfield Conven- tion Explained. OHIOAN REPRESENTING A PRINCIPLE Reminiscences of Former Political : Gatherings. NOT AN ORDINARY CRISIS Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. CHICAGO, May 4, 1896. The republican state convention held at Springfield onWednesday and Thursday last was unlike any ever before held in Illinois, The convention held in the same city in 1880 for the choice of delegates to the na- tional republican convention was a re- markable gathering. John A. Logan, then a Senator in Congress, left his Place in the Senate to come home and lead the fight in behalf of his old military commander, U. 8. Grant. Logan had as his first and second lieuten- ants in that contest A. M. Jones and Dan Shepard, chairman and secretary of the re- publican state central committee, and there were then no better political leaders In either party in the state than those three men. But the hall of the house of repre- sentatives In the state capitol was large enough to hold that assemblage, intense as the excitement in all the counties had pre- viously been. But it was a pigmy compared with the convention of 18M. There were thousands in attendance upon this com- pared with hundreds who were witnesses of that. Judged by ordinary standards, the ad- vantages in the convention of last week were with the anti-McKinley men. Their candidate for governor, John R. Tanner of Clay county, had a large majority of instructed delegates In favor of his nom- ination. His successor as chairman of the state central committee was his (Tanner's) intimate friend. A large majority of the State central committee were his active sup- porters. He had the county of Cook (in which is the city of Chicago) apparently solidly at his back, instructed to support him, and inferentially to be guided by him after his nomination should have been se- cured. Next to his own nomination for governor, Tanner, In good faith, sought a defeat of insiructions for Major McKinley, in the hope that his old co-laborer and devoted friend, Mr. § by M. Cullom, might have the support of Illinois as a candidate for President at St. Lc. >. Cullom came to Springfield to supplen.ent the efforts of Tanner and other enthusiastic friends. Un- der ordinary circumstances their labors would have been successful. Cullom himself is no infant Sa polities. His occupancy of responsible elective offices for the period of a generation is proof of this. He comes of brainy stock. Ask any of the old resi- dents of Tennessee if they knew old Hill Cullom of that state, and they will tell you he had an intellect entitling him to front rank, although no Chesterfield nor How- ard in . Was born of his Tennessee relative, with none of the other soil. He is popular at his own home in Springfield, where he has lived for nearly half a cen tury, and throughout the state. The num- ber of people whom he has assisted by his official and personal influence has helped to accumulate for him a capital of popu- larity upon which he could in ordinary emergencies draw almost without limit. No one knows betler that every cabinet and bureau officer during republican presiden- tlal administrations with what unflagging energy and entreaty he has pleaded for the appointment of needy constituents to federal positions, and for the granting of pensions to Hllincis soldiers. No flaming swords guard the doors of his home in Washington against the entrance of sup- pliants from Mlinois for his personal and official influence, but they have always been granted a hearing and his promise of help if it could be appropriately given. Withal, it is known that with all his patronage and power, he is @ poor man, and that when he shall step from the senatorship his record will be es clean and his pockets as empty as were those of H. L. Dawes of Massa- chusetts when the latter retired to private life. This was the man in whose behalf the election of delegates at the late state con- vention was sought. Except in extraordi- nary crises, the question of patronage, ad- ded to the other considerations already mentioned, would have been an important make-weight. No matter who shall be the next President, 1f a republican, Senator Cullom will have a voice in the selection of federal appointees for Illinois. John R. Tanner as governor will also have official patronage to distribute. These considera- tions probably were not forgotten in the arguments presented to delegates why they should prefer a c'tizen of Illinois to one in Ohio for President. But this is not an ordinary crisis in poli- ties. Whether erroneously or not, the masses of republicans in Illinois, in city and country, trace the commencement of the present hard times to the election of Cleveland and Stevenson in 1892 and to the election of a majority in each branch of Congregs pledged to the repeal of the McKinley ‘tariff law of 18". With this thought in ‘their minds, what was more maiural than that they should seek for their leader in the next presidential cam- paign the man whose name was most in- timately connected with the tariff law un- der which they knew the country had prospered as it had never prospered before? To them it was an easy transi- tion of phrases from the McKinley bill to Bill McKinley. This is the simple solution of the great victory of the Ohio man last Tharsday in Illinois. It was not money, it was not personal leadership, it was not factional strategy which did the business. It was the spontaneous uprising ef the masses of the people of all classes who had suffered, some of them to the point of sorrowful deprivation in their homes and bankruptcy !n their business. Men attended primary, county and district conventions this year who never took part actively in politics before. They were at Springfield, not as delegates, but as that reserve power behind delegations greater than delegations themselves, determined to see their wili fairly executed or to know the reason why. I have reasons for saying that Major McKinley is not led to the assumption that his almost unparalleled successes thus far have been caused by any overshadowing personal superiority over such competitors as Reed, Allison, Manderson, Cullom and others. In this he shows that element of good sense which has been such a marked characteristic of his public career. He ap- preciates that it is the great principle of national policy with which his name is identified and the earnest devotion of the people in its support which have thus early in the canvass for a nomination practically assured his ultimate triumph. With all this in his favor, there is a re- membrance of the manly manner in which he bore himself in the national republican convention in this city in 1888. He was there ag a delegate in behalf of the nomi- nation of John Sherman. During one of the ballotings Maj. McKinley himself re- celved a few votes. As socn as the result was announced he mounted a chair, and in clear, rirging voice declared that he came there as the friend and supporter of Sena- tor Sherman; that he should labor earnest- ly for the nomination of that gentleman; that therefore he requested, nay, demand- ed, that no vote should be cast for himself in that convention. This prompt declina- tion of a proffered compliment of high dis- tinction was in such contrast with what ambitious aspirants for high place are apt to do in like circumstances that it caused him to be a marked man in public favor from that hour. I remember of only one other instance of like self-abnegation. It was in the convention of 1880, in this city, when Gen. Grant's name was presented for a nomination for a third term. Some dele- gate cast a vote for Phil Sheridan. Gen. Sheridan happened to be at the time among the distinguished guests upon the platform back of the chairman, He was not a dele- gate, and therefore nad no right to a voice in the proceedings of the convention; but without asking for permission to speak, he stepped to the front of the platform and announced that under no circumstances would he consent to the use of his name in antagonism to that of his old commander, Gen. Grant. When the delegates and the thousands of spectators realized that it was the hero of Winchester who had thus spoken their enthusiasm was in proportion to the maniiness of his words. The people of this city and state are drawing comparisons between what is like- ‘This company has money to loan upon District real estate and aceeptadle col- lateral securities in sums to sult.

Grant was nomi- nated for President the first time. in the last named assemblage there was only cne name presented and one balloting. It is predicted that this will be the outcome in St. Louis, and events lend great probability to the prophecy. If such shall be the case, what a sea of trouble will be aveided grow- ing out of contests for seats from southern states! All the contestants might then be admitted, with the total votes divided ap- propriately into fractions, without in any manner affecting the final result. The state convention of the democracy is likely to be quite as lively as was that of the republicans. There the fight will be between the tree silver men and the ad- ministration men. It looks now as though Gov. Altgeld would be the nominee for governor {f the silverites control the con- vention, If they should not control it, he ard his followers would probably bolt. John P.

A trip of inspection of many of the local land offices in Minnesota, Montana, Idaho, California and Colorado will be made dur- ing June by Commissioner Lamoreux of the general land office. The main object is to secure a thorough revision of methods throughout the service. One of the main aims is to reduce the amount of cases be- hindhand in the surveying branch of the service. Since the beginning of the ad- ministration the delay in attending to sur- veying cases has been reduced from two years or more to about one year. Commis- sioner Lamoreux believes this should be further reduced to about three or four months with new methods and the intelli- gent co-operation of local officers. The tour, which will not be made at govern- ment expense, will be begun during the first week of June, and extend a few days into July. It will begin at Duluth, Minn., and Crookston will be the next office. ———____+e--_____ Lives to Tell of His Lynching.
