The package being transported to New York from San Francisco by bicycle in the Examiner-Journal transcontinental relay race was interrupted at a point east of Og- den, Utah, early Saturday morning and spirited away through the mountains to- ward Echo, forty miles east on the Union Pacific, to the great disappointment of the long line of Salt Lake riders who were in waiting to take the package to the capital for the governor's signature. Arrangements for the race through Utah were in the hands of a Salt Lake man, who laid a route west of the great Salt Lake across the desert from Terrace, on the Southern Pacific, to Salt Lake City, there- by leaving Ogden off the route.. The Ogden wheelmen organized a volunteer division to carry a duplicate package north of the lake through Ogden and undertook to deliver it in Echo six hours ahead of the Salt Lake riders. A heavy rain Thursday made the desert Toute impassable, and the Examiner man- ager decided to change the route, having the riders g9 through Ogden to Sait Lake and then back to Echo. At Terrace a col- ston came about between the rival riders. ‘There was a gun play, in which the assem- bled cowboys participated, with the result that the precious package fell into the hands of the Ogden riders and was landed at Echo at 11:22 a.m., ahead of time, leav- ing Salt Lake City high and dry.

BURLINGTON, Vt., August 31.—This !s mystery year in Vermont. No campaign in years has been so thoroughly well fought, and yet so quietly, as the one going on at present. There is any amount of work, and both sides are doing it; yet it seems to be all under the surface. The republicans had made arrangements for a spirited speaking contest. They felt that as Vermont was the first state in the Union to cast her vote after the nomination of the presidential tickets, an extra allowance of responsibility rested upon thetr shoulders. If the demo- crats should increase their vote or the re- publicans have their majority cut down, the effect on the country at large would be injurious to the cause of McKinley and gold, as the people far away from the state would not realize the peculiar local condi- tions that now exist in the Green mountain region. It is these local conditions on the republican side that complicate the situa- tion just now. The republicans of Vermont are never a very harmonious family. There are too many of them with ambit-ons. At the bottom cf the whole trouble is the senatorship question. The senatorship ts a shadow that covers every part of the state and every question that comes up within it. It is the one rule by which men are now measured politically in Vermont. There {3 a common belief in the state that Senator Morrill’s seat in the Senate will soon be vacant, and there are crowds of republicans who wish to fill it. Every republican of prominence from the Massachuretts border to the Canada line is figuring upon being Mr. Morrill’s successor. Want to Be Senator. Every republican who has been governor of the state thinks that the place is his by right, so that there are a half score of ex- governors. a Congressman and twenty oth- ers all waiting impatiently to don the sen- atorial toga. This senatorial question led to the closest fight for governor in the re- publican convention this year that_ was ever carried on in the state. Senator Proc- tor’s candidate for the nomination was John Grout, a man who had served with distinction in the war, had become a pros- perous business man, and had served with credit in the state legislature, ending his career in that body with the speakership. At once there arose a tremendous opposi- tion to him. The senatorship question blazed up fiercely. Mr. Grout is the brother of Congressman Grout, and the Congress- man fs one of the leading candidates for the senatorship. Owing to Mr. Morrill’s age, it is felt here that he will not serve out his next term, and there was put forward the claim that Proctor wanted John Grout as governor, so that when Mr. Morrill’s seat became vacant the governor could appoint Congressmen Grout as his successor. There was another candidate brought forward, and when the convention came Grout won the nomination by only a couple of votes. This fight, carried on as it was all over the state, left scars, which are showing them- selves now. There fs no doubt that Grout will Icse some republican votes from the belief that his election may result in the choice of his brother to the Senate. Anti-Proctor Faction. Then, too, there is now an anti-Proctor party in the state. This is composed of young republicans, who claim that they have been ignored. There are a great many strong Reed men, too, in the state, who do not relish the way in which Senator Proc- tor flirted with Reed and then made love to McKinley. There is still another trouble in the re- publican camp. Some time ago the Rut- land Herald came out and accused Gov. Woodbury of breaking the state liquor law by having liquor sold in the Van Ness House in this city, which hotel he owns. The Rutland Herald is, perhaps, the most influential paper in the state, solidly re- publican, and for it to openly attack the governor of the state, a man of the same political faith, shows the utter lack of har- mony in the party ranks. The governor promptly brought a suit for libel against the paper, and the verdict, which has just been reached in the case, was practically a compromise, as only a nominal amount in the way of damages was awarded to the chief executive of the state. This incident served to create additional friction in the party, and may make a difference in the way In which a number of votes are cast on the Ist day of September. Added to all this is the fact that the free silver sentiment has considerable of a foot- hold among the farming communities of the state. The Vermont farmer is not a rich man. In many cases he is no more prosperous than his western brother, and can show about the same number of mort- gage papers and the same lack of bank ac- count to pay the interest. He does not complain as much as the western brother, but he thinks as hard. And the result of the thinking in a good many heretofore republican farm houses is that things could not be worse certainly under free silver as far as he is personally concerned, and there is a possibility that they may be better. With this element the republicans are working. But the Vermont farmer is a hard man to persuade. He is slow in mak- ing up his mind, and still slower to change it. It was on all these accounts that the republicans wished a vigorous and pyro- technic campaign. They wanted to convert the backsliding farmers, and also to give to the campaign a distinctly national tinge, so that republicans would overlook tempo- rarily their local grievances and roll up a big majority for the moral effect it would have. Stay-at-Home Contingent. On the other hand, the small democracy of Vermont is still smaller this year. Its leading men have deserted it and are still deserting. When ex-Minister E. J. Phelps announced that this year he was a republi- can, he spoke for others than himself merely. Men who have led the party in other years are openly on the republican side this year. The great trouble that the republicans fear is that the total vote will be small. This meang more jn Vermont than it does in other states. The republi- cans are so overwhelmingly in the majority here that the stay-at-home vate cuts di- rectly out of the republican.majority. ‘The total vote is so small that it needs it all to roll up a real good majority. A great many of the republican leaders, tailing all the conditions into consideration, the dissatls- faction with the nominee for governor in some parts of the state, the friction over the senatorship, the fight against the pres- ent governor that was carried into the courts, and the free silver sheaves in (ie harvest field, will not be surprised if the republican majority is cut down on Tues- day. They intended to have a flood of speakers, and had Senator Lodge and Sen- ator Thurston and others on their rolls, but these men were taken away to Maine, on the ground that the campaign was more im- portant there, and so most of the speaking and enthusing has been left to the local talent. It is all a year of mystery, for no one can tell to what extent elther the re- publicans will neglect to vote for Grout for governor or the democrats vote the republi- can ticket. ——___. Artist C. S. Reinhart Dead. Charles Stanley Reinhart, an illustrator of international reputation, died yesterday at the Players’ Club in New York. Mr. Reinhart was born in Pittsburg, Pa., in 1844. In 1870 he secured a position with Harper Bros. as draughtsman. In 1880 he went to Paris, and during the six years that he remained in that city he was hon- ored by receiving the gold and silver med- als for best draughtsman and illustrator. In 1887 one cf his paintings was purchased by the French government. In 1890 Mr. Reinhart established a studio in New York. He was a member of the Academy of De- sign and was a popular after-dinner speak- er. Death was due to acute Bright's dis- ease.

Chairmanship of the Populist Notification Committee Disputed. Mr. Bateman Makes a Statement in Which He Says the Minnesota Man Was Elected. Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. LEWISTON, Me., August 31.—United States Senator Allen has shied a castor in- to the political ring which bids fair to cause more trouble and disruption in the populist camp. It had come to be under- stood that John M. Bowler of Minnesota was the chairman and L. C. Bateman of Maine the secretary of the committee ap- pointed by the populist national conven- tion to notify Mr. Bryan of his nomination by that body. Senator Aller now comes forward and claims that he is the chairman of that committee. L. C. Bateman was seen today by The Star correspondent and interviewed in relation to this important matter of dis- pute. Mr. Bateman was considerably ex- ercised over the matter, and said with much warmth: “You say it is reported that Senator Allen claims the chairmanship of the notification committee which is to inform Mr. Bryan of his nomination by the populist party. I have something more definite than a re- port right here. J have a letter that I have just received from Senator Allen himself, in which he states that he is the chairman. You will see by it that he really believes this to be true. I do not know who has been playing upon his credulity, but I am loth to believe that the distinguished Sen- ator has such an exalted opinion of his own importance as to assume that the commit- tee did not dare to name other than him- self for chairman. “If so, I fear this will be a rude awaken- ing from his blissful dream. I am the sec- retary of that committee, and have all the minutes of the Lindell House meeting in my possession. Mr. Allen was not present at the meeting, and we should not have known that he was even a member of the committee had not a Nebraska gentleman handed in his name. Mr. J. M. Bowler was elected chairman. As we were widely scat- tered, we were all anxious that Mr. Allen should manage the details of the notifica- tion. He has shown a strange indisposition to do so until now. This letter of the Sen- ator’s shows that he is now willing to pro- ceed, and will do so as soon as Mr. Bryan gets back to Lincoln. That being the case, I am willing to give him the opportunity. It is fitting that he should do so. But re- member, it must be done. There can be no side-tracking this matter. While Mr. Bowler and myself are more than willing that Mr. Allen should do this work, we do not for one instant relinquish our rights as officers of the committee. If he doesn’t do it, we shall. I have instructions from a majority of the committee to go ahead and notify. That is higher authority than “APENTA” THE BEST NATURAL APERIENT WATER. sorties at tre UJ HUNYADI SPRINGS, Buda Pest, Hungary.

I hold the key to the situation, and shall not relinquish the vantage ground. I care nothing by whom or how Mr. Bryan is notified, but notified in some way he must be. Bryan returns to Lincoln the 6th of September. Now we will see what Allen will do. I can afford to wait until that time.” Senator Allen's Letter, The letter received by Mr. Bateman from Senator Allen was as follows: MADISON, Neb., August 26, 1896. L. C. Bateman, Auburn, Me.: My Dear Sir—I am in receipt of your fa- vor of the 1th instant, in which you say the chairman cf the committee appointed at St. Louis to notify Mr. Bryan of his nomination directs you to ask me if I am willing to have him notified at once. You also say we have a right to know whether he wants our nomination er not; that we can notify him by mail, I have the honor to inform you that I am chairman cf the committce to notify Mr. Bryan of his nomination, and not having declined the honor, I shall-exercise the du- ties of the office at the proper time. I have heen waiting for Mr. Bryan to return from the east, and when he’ does I will call the committee together to notify him. Mr. Bryan has been notified that I am chair. man of tre committeé, and doubtless he will not pay any attention to a notification that comes from any other source. I have the honor to be very truly yours, WILLIAM V. ALLEN. Mr. Bateman’a Reply. To this letter of Senator Allen's Bateman replied that he had the honor to inform the distinguished Senator that he was not the chairman of the committee in question: that the committee met in the Lindell Ho- tel in St. Louls immediately after the con- vention adjourned and organized by elect- ing J. M. Bowler of Minnesota as chair- man; that the distinguished Senator from Nebraska was not even present at the meeting. Bateman vas chosen secretary of the meeting, and now has the minutes of that meeting in his possession. It was the sentiment of the committee that Sena- tor Allen shonid arrange the details of the notifi n. At that time they all sup- posed that the Senator would attend to the matter, but it was fast becoming evident that he did not propose to do so. That be- ing the case, the legal officers of the com- mittee haa taken hold of the matter them-, selves. Mr. Bateman assured Mr, Allen that both Mr. Rowler and himself would be more than pleased to have him relieve them of the d Now that he had Senator Al- len’s assurance that the matter would be attended to immediately after Mr. Bryan's return from the east, they would defer ac- tion until that time. Mr. Bryan would be in Lincoln, Neb.,.on September 6, and they would quietly await the result. Mr. Bateman further stated as evidence that Mr. Bowler was the real chairman of the committee in question that he has in his possession letters from Senator Butler of North Carolina, airman of the popu- list committee, which give every evidence that Senator Butler considers Mr. Bowler the chairman. A Brnke on Bateman. Senator Butler has been trying to act as @ brake upon Bateman by promising that ome action will be imemdiately taken from headquarters, evidently wishing to keep the matter in abeyance until the harmo- nious consent of the entire committee can be obtained. In a letter just received by Mr. Bateman Senator Butler say: “The people’s party tust be preserved and this fight for mone- tary reform must be won; and no action should be taken by any one who has the cause at heart which will in any way re- tard either result. Sentiment is now rap- idly changing to Watson, not only among western populists, but among southern democrats, In a most gratifying way. We should do nothing of doubtful propriety while matters are thus happily shaping themselves in our favor. A little later it is very probable that we can take action about the notification of our candidates, at a time when the effect and results will be most salutary. In the meantime, let us keep prominently the idea that Bryan and Watson is the co-operative ticket that all god silver men of all parties should sup- port.” In another letter Senator Butler says: “Watson is gaining ground in the south and west daily. The gutlook is that the Bryan and Watson electoral ticket will carry Georgia in a three-cornered fight. One thing is evident; a large majority of the populists are determined in seme way to force Mr. Sewall from the ticket.” ———— Railway Company Exonerated. The coroner's jury at,,Frederick, Md., to investigate the death of Mys. Dugan, the victim of the recent Catoctin mountain trolley car disaster, rendered the following verdict: “We believe tiat Mrs. Caroline Dugan's death was caused by shock from an unavoidable accident on the Frederick and Middletown railway Sunday evening, August 23, the said Mrs. Dugan being in ill health at the time of the accident, and we hereby exonerate the rallway company frcm any blame whatever.” Dr. S. S. Maynard, who attended Mrs. Dugan during her illness, testified that the superficial injuries found upon the person of the deceased <er the accideat were not of much cons: ce, but that death was due to nervous shec No cars have been running on the road since Friday morning. At that time the only car on its return trip from the moun- tain jumped the track near the city, and, striking a trolley pole, broke the platform. The directors have decided that hereafter not more than sixty persons will be per- mitted to ride on any one car at a time. Thomas T. Anderson, who sustained a compound fracture of the left hip in the accident, has filed a suit against the Fred- erick and Middletown Ra‘iway Company for $20,000 damages. THE RAILROAD VOTE Mr. Cowen’s Emphatic Support of Mr. McKinley. SENDING DOCUMENTS TO EMPLOYES A Majority of Them Said to Oppose Free Silver, HELPING THE CAMPAIGN The movement to spread information on the currency question, from the sound money standpoint, among the railroad men of the country, which was inspired by President Ingalls of the Chesapeake and Ohio and Big Four Railroad Companics and approved of by’ many raliway mag- nates throughout the country, has found a most earnest advocate in the person of Mr. John K. Cowen, president and one of the receivers of the Baltimore aud Ohio Raiiroad Company. Mr. Cowen has been for years a close student of political aff: bee tS has been a democrat ever since he had a vote. At the last congressional cleciion Mr. Cowen was chosen to represent the fourth district of Maryland in Congress, although he did not reside in the district, the democratic managers being convinced that no other man they could put up would have the ghost of a show against the republican nominee, Mr. Robert H. Smith, who is one of the most popular men in Baltimore. Distrivating Campaign Documents. When Mr. Cowen determined to actively enlist in the sound money cause his friends expected that he would at once throw into the movement all the energy and hearti- ness of his aggressive nature. They have not been disappointed. One of the largest rooms on the second floor of the Baltimore and Ohio Central building, in Baltimore, has been set apart for the work, and there men are employed inclos:ng in large envelopes for mailing to each of the 20,000 employes of the B. and O., under Mr. Cowen’s frank, copies of several speeches delivered in Congress: “Aldridge on Free Coinage of Stiv: “Silver and Gold; Wages and Prices,’ ex- tract from a speech by Representative J. T. McCieary of Minnesot: “A Talk of Four Neighbors About Money and Silver,” from the rcmarks of Representative Jcseph y. Babcock of Wisconsin; also Secretary Carlisle's famous speech before the work- ingmen of Chicago April 15 last. Mr. Cowen’s Own Views, A Star reporter went to Baltimore to in- terview Mr. Cowen relative to the move- ment here referred to and to his reasons for espousing the same. As a result Mr. Cowen prepared for The Star the following statement: “The Chicago p!atform, upon which B an was nominated, coibines all the finan- clal heresies that could be crowded into it: it demands the free coinage of silver by the United States government at the ratio of 16 to 1; it demands that freedom of con- tract be destroyed by legislation, prohibit- ing parties to a contract from agreeing as to the kind of money which sho:ld be paid or received; it proposes open repudiation of United States bonds, by providing for their payment in silver coin instead of ‘gold or its equivalent,’ it demands the repudiation of the greenbacks and the treasury cer- Uficates issued under the Sherman law by opposing the issuance of bonds, to be sold for gold, to keep intact the reserve for the redemption of the greenbacks and treasury certificates; it demands that the power to issue notes be taken from national benks, and that the paper money be issued by the treasury alone: it touches very lightly .pon the tariff—as is proper under the circum- stances—but makes an indirect attack on the Supreme Court of the United States for its decision in the income tax case: it offers an insult to our foreign-born citi- zens by designating them as foreign-born pauper labor, because if that term has any meaning at all in the platform, it means that the great mass of foreign immizrxnts are to come under this opprobrious desig- nation; it indorses Debs and his conspir- acy to prevent the operation of railroads, the trarsportation of interstate .ommerce and the United States mails, by attacking the decision of the federal’ courts in Il- Mnois, which was affirmed by the decision of the Supreme Court of the United States. “Free silver, fiat money and free riot, are the three prominent Fs of the Chicago platform. Fu-thcr, it contains a covert at- tack upon civil rvice referm—carcfully veiled, as such attacks always are, in a mass of verbiage. “It is the most reactionary program that has ever emanated from a party conven- tien in the United States, and, in my judz ment, it is the duty of every good demo- erat to denounce the platform in season and out of season, and to vote against the man who stands upon it. “‘Altgeldism,’ ‘Populism,’ ‘Greenback- ism’ and ‘Fiatism’ are not democracy, and no democrat by his vote ought to sustain the ticket which represents such issues. Expects a Reaction. “I think the reaction will set in when the sober and conservative classes of the community appreciate the widespreid panic and ruin which would follow the success of the men who have stolen the democratic livery. I think it is not only the duty of democrats to vote, but to work against the ticket and the platform adopt- ed at Chicago, and I shall do both. “Speaking for myself alone, I think it would be a grave mistake for the sound money forces to divide their votes. The republican convention boldly took position for the gold standard, and the nominee of that convention stands firmly on the plat- form there adopted. “I shall unhesitatingly vote for William McKinley, although I am an out-and-out free trader, and I advise other democrats to do the same. I do not believe it is wise to have a new third party movement. I think the sound money democrats should organize and work and vote for the re- publican ticket, thereby making each sound money vote count not one, but two, against free silver and the other communistic ideas adopted at Chicago. “The convention at Chicago itself recog- nized that the tariff is not a practical is- sue, and relegates tariff reform to the rear until the money question shall have been settled. “I accept that position for myself, and say unhesitatingly that gold, the standard of the civilized world, must continue to be our standard, and that all men in favor of sound money should unite to oppose the forces of misrule that were iet loose at Chicago.”" Employes Favor McKinley. As the Baltimore and Ohio officials have received no written replies to the matter sent out by Mr. Cowen from those to whom they were addressed, it is impossible for them to state how far they have been in- fluenced by the arguments they were im- pliedly requested to peruse, but the experi- ence of a Star reporter in talking with a layge number of B. and O. men on the sub- ject was similar to that found to be the case with the railway men of Virginia, which, as stated in The Star, was that the sreat majority favcr the single gold stand- ard. Some of the B. and O. men went farther than their Southern brethren, and declared it to be their belief that the railway men who vote in Maryland, and who are advo- cates of the gold standard, would be able to convince many of their fellow working- men and neighbors that it was against their interest to vote for free silver, and that the result would be that McKinley would carry the state in November by a larger majority than did the republicans last fall.
