Cout it — ed = NEW JERSEY DOUBTFUL. Predictions Built Upon Last Year's Vote Not Considered Sound. Special Correspondence of ‘The Eveuing Star. CAPE MAY, N. J., September 10, 1896. Heretofore in presidential elections New Jersey has been put down in the column of doubtful states, but this year it seems to have goné abroad in the land that New Jersey was sure to cast its electoral vote for the republican nominee. This as- sumption has beef’ based largely upon the fact that last November it elected John W. Griggs, a republican, governor by 26,- 909 plurality. He is the first governor the republicans had eleeted in thirty years, and upon this fact alone the political caleu- seemed to forget that democratic tired of an “old &: what xcemed to them an extrav Wasteful management of sta’ volted aud went quietly to the polls and voted for s because of his personal ew Jersey senate. Others not vote at all, because they knew his opponent, Chancellor Mc wes as clean a m olt was not against McGill, but against extravagance. But because of this result the general pub- lic have counted New Jersey all right fer McKinley and her favorite son, Hobart. But the democrats don’t think this way, and claim they will present some surprises in each batch of election returns. Many democrats throughout the state who voted for Griggs are for Bryan, because he is the regular nominee, as they claim, and while the state will probably cast its vote for the republican candidates, there is go- ing to be a tremendous fight waged. It has already been commenced, and the dem- ocrats are making a seeret house-to-house canvass already in many of the more ur- The idea prevails among many that the free coinage of silver will make a greater currency circulation, and that It will be poured into the workmen's laps. They have mot taken in the idea yet that they must have work to earn the dollar, whether it be silver, gold, copper or iron. And lots think because gold is not circulated so freely now as silver_that.silyer should be the stanuard. Such crude thoughts are be- ing given the unthinking man in language that is very ambiguous, and if McKinley and Hobart do not carry the state it will be for a lack of hard work. Republican Presidential Electors. The republicans have named their presi- dential electors, and they are all sound b Ss men, and men who have been preminent in business interests for a score of years or more. The democrats yester- day named their ticket, and changed their whole hase from their June convention of gold declarations to that of silver, and ousted every goldite from the convention. But the convention of yesterday was minus state leaders. A new crowd was at the front, and most of them the people whom the voters intended to rebuke at the polls last November. The only man of prominence in the gathering was ex-Con- gressman Johnston Cornish, who was made an elector-at-large. The sound money democrats have named no electors, and it is believed now that they will not. They held a meeting at Jersey City on Tuesday, and while the executive commit- tee has power to name electors, it did not. There are but a few more days in New Jersey for nominations to be made, and it will take, besides, $00 signers to a pe- tition for the third ticket. It 1s belleved that many leaders advocate an open sup- pert of McKinley. Ex-Senator Henry D. Winton is the chairman of the executive committee. The committee, however, will look after the nomination of a set of sound money Congressmen, and this unexpected move, which comes’ like a clash from a clear sky to the Bryanites, will have the effect of returning a full set of republi- cans to the next Congress. The only doubt can be from Hudson county, where the democrats have such a large majority, us- uall enough to overbalance any majority h the republicans have gotten from the remainder of the state. Little active public work has been done in New Jersey by any party yet, but as soon as the candidates for the state legis- lature and county officers are named, then the hard work will be done. The campaign will be a short and hot one, and the state cannot at this day be counted solid for any candidate. > Enthusiastic Welcome of Nansen. The arrival at Christiania of the Fram, having on board Dr. Nansen and the com. panions of his arctic expedition, was made the occasicn of an extraordinary demon- stration of welcome Wednesday. The Fram was escorted up the flord by a@ naval Squadron of seventy steamers. Dr. Nan- sen was accorded a triumphal reception. ‘The city was gaily decorated and every- thing possible was done to express the heror in which the citizens held the re- turning explorer. Great enthusiasm was manifested. Among those who took part in the demonstration were 12,000 members of the guilds, many students, etc. They formed a guard of honor along the route leading to the castle, where Nansen was cordially welcomed. Here a banquet was tendered to him and he was decorated by the king and by the crown prince. ———_-+2-__ Protecting the Seals. A report was yesterday received by Cap- tain Shoemaker, chief of the revenue cut- ter service, from Captain Hooper, in com- mand of the Bering sea patrol fleet, stat- ing that on August 22 the “Corwin” seized the American schooner “Jane Gray,” and on August 24 the Rush seized the British schooner “Viva.” Both of these vessels were sealing on the prohibited area. ‘These make seven seizures since the sea- gon opened.

MEETING OF WAGE EARNERS A mass meeting was held in Cooper Union, New York, last night, under the au- spices of the campaign committee of the McKinley League. Terrence V. Powderly, former general master workman of the Knights of Labor, and ex-Senator Warner Miller were the chief speakers. The meet- ing was planned for wage earners, and a large audience was present early, and when the speaking began the hall was crowded. Several Bryan men were present, and made their presence known by their loud cheers for their candidate. This interruption was stopped by the police, after which the pro- gram of the evening was carried out. Mr. Powderly said: “Did I believe an apology fer my presence on this platform necessary I would say that I believe the right of the American wage earner to re- ceive the highest rate of compensation for service rendered, and the right to claim and recelve the best kind of money in ex- change for his labor, should not be in- terfered with.” Mr. Powderly then took up the Chicago platform and compared it with the pre- vious platforms of the democratic party, saying: - “The platform of four years ago pledged the party entering into power to the ove: throw of the American system of protec- on, and with all his and thelr power, with all the force and influence at his and their command, the man and party upon whom the power was conferred la- bored to place the foreign workingman on a higher plane than his American com- petitor, and that platform was anything but meaningless. Four years ago the pivotal point around which the democratic Piatform swung was free trade. “When that Congress assembled there Was no deficit; the revenue was amply sufficient for the needs of government, and there was no income tax law upon the statutes of this nation. Opposed to Income Tax. “The income tax law was an after-consid- eration; it was no part of the democratic platform of 1892, and was only thought of when it became manifest to its originators that they had sawed off the revenue limb en which they had been sitting in their mad attempt to undo what their republican predecessors had so well planned and so faithfully executed. To make amends for a blunder they would perpetrate a crime, and the ircome tax law was no less than a crime. I may be charged with opposing one of the cardinal principles of the Knights of Labor, which demanded that a graduated income. tax be levied. That section was adopted by the Knights of Labor in opposition to my earnest and emphatic protest. I never believed in it, and have always opposed it. Effect of Organization. “They tell us that the manufacturers are robber barons, and that the tariff which protects them and those who work for them is a robber tariff. Well, what of it? If workingmen will not organize, as the win- cow glass trade and railroad workmen are organized, to unite with employers in pro- tecting their trades and callings, they have themselves to blame for not securing all the advantages of protection. “The fact that $350,000,000 worth of agri- cultural product was imported to this country in one year, and that it was bought and consumed by Americans, proves most conclusively that to that extent, at least, the agriculturists of this country were the losers, and had they been protected in their industry by a judicious tariff law the consumers of the land would have bought that product of their lands instead of that which came from foreign lands, and that vast sum of money would be circulating among the people of the United States, pay- ing taxes and debts in the United States instead of enriching the producers of for- eign lands—the ‘robber barons’ of Europe. “The farmer is told that the cause of his ills is because he has not been blessed with free silver. But who ever tells him that de- ceives him to his injury. Those who advo- cate free silver tell the farmer that ‘the crime of 1873’ is responsible for the ills he bears. Since 1873 farming in the United States has undergone a radical, an almost total change, and causes other than the demonetization of silver have combined to cheapen his product.” Mr. Powderly then compared the work possible to be done with modern agricul- tural implements with that-under the old methods. Improved Machinery and Immigration Mr. Powderly told how improved ma- chinery had displaced hand labor in cities as well, and called attention to the great influx of immigrants who settle in the cities and work cheaply, and continued: “Here, then, are two causes—the intro- duction of improved machinery and immi- gration—which combine to lower the prices of products and deprive the farmer of his market, and ‘the crime of 1873’ has had nothing to do with elther one.” Taking up the money question proper, Mr. Powderly said: “They tell us that we lack money, that there is not enough in circulation, and that the mints should be started to coin silver in unlimited quantities for the gocd of labor. But just how the man who has no silver to be coined is to be benefited has not been made clear to us yet, and I believe it will do the country more good to open our mines, mills and factories to the unem- ployed than to open our mints to the unre- stricted coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 tol Money Sent Abroad. “That there is not enough money in cir- culation may be true, but if so, it is be- cause labor has not been employed; it is because we have been importing rather than exporting. When it is asserted that our per capita is not sufficient it must not be forgotten that labor itself is in no small share responsible for this state of affairs, if, indeed, it be true, or important, if true. From the city of Scranton alone laboring men last year sent $40,000 in gold, or its equivalent, to foreign hands, and scarcely a doliar of it went to England. They sent this money to their friends in the homes of the poor of Europe. Every dollar sent reduces the per capita circulation of our currency.” The Chicago Strike. Passing to the Chicago strike, Mr. Pow- derly said the lawless element of the city, and not the strikers, rioted, and added: “I do not approve of government by any other power than the will of the American people; but if we will have government by truckling, time-serving officials, who fear to do their sworn duty, then we invite gov- ernment by injunction. It was a gratuitous act on the part of the Chicage convention to inderse the inactivity of the mayor of Chicago and the governor of Illinois, but having done so, its members should be re- minded that honest labor in no way feels complimented by such doubtful recognition. Government by injunction would never be known in the United States had govern- ment by incompetency not preceded it.” What Labor Would Lose. Closing, he said: “What about labor with the nation on a silver basis instead of a gold basis? One silver dollar then will buy but_half what it will now, and the man working for a dollar a day will then have to work two days in order to purchase as much for two silver dollars as he now ob- tains for one dollar of gold or of silver, or of paper based on gold. ‘The propositiqn that the silver dollar is the poor man's dollar is pure ih. The dollar of the poor man fs the dollar which he earng, wheth it be gold or silver. ie wor! entitled to the best in the market; the gol dollar is as much his dollar it is the dollar of the millionaire, and ead of joining in the shout for a lollar, for free and unlimited cionage, he in- scribe on his banner, “The best is none too good for me.’” : Warner Miller’s Argument. Ex-Senator Warner Miller was next in- troduced. He declared that business de- Pression resulted from the Wilson tariff bill and free silver agitation. He combat- ed the theory thit there was a lack of currency or that gold had appreciated in value, saying: “If either was true there would have been some show of reason in the demand for the free coinage of silver.” » He said the true test as to the relative value of gold lay in the question of wages and interest. He then asserted that wages had increased nearly 60 per cent since 1860 and about 20 per cent since the war, while interest had fallen nearly one-half. He told of wages paid in Mexico, and added: “The facts are simply these: There is not a silver country in the world today in which labor is paid one-half the aver- age paid here, and in which that money when received will buy one-half as much as it will buy here. “The remedy for our present disastrous condition is a return to the former condi- tion of affairs, to the enactment of a fair tariff bill, which shall give just protec- tion to American labor, which shall re- Store confidence to business circles and every industry, and to stamp out absolute- ly every proposition for the dishonor of our credit, the cheapening of our money, the repudiation of our debts, both public and private, and by maintaining the high standard of public honor which we have maintained from the beginning of our gov- ernment down to the present moment. ‘This can be done by the election of Mc- Kinley and Hobart. McKinley and Hobart Indorsed. Before adjourning the following resolu- ton was adopted: “The wage workers of New York in mass meeting assembled, under the auspices of the McKinley League, utterly repudiate the teachings of the platform adopted by the democratic-populistic national conven- tion at Chicago. We hold its doctrines to be dishonest, unpatriotic and injurious to the best interests of the nation and the wcrkingmen of the United States. The na- ticnal honor and the nation’s prosperity are involved, and depend upon the election of the republican candidates, and we there- fore call upon wage workers everywhere to support McKinley and Hobart.” Powderly's Alleged Letter of 1888. Mr. Powderly sai@ that his attention had been called to an article in the Journal of the Knights of Labor, headed “Then and Now,” in which it was attempted to show that he, Powderly, had satd “D—n the re- publican party in 1888,” while he now up- holds the republican party for doing the very things he condemned it for then. A letter was published in connection with the article, which it was claimed Powderly had written in 1888, denouncing the repub- lican party. Mr. Powderly said that any one who would publish a personal letter was not worth answering. He had no recollection of writing such a letter and he had not even read it. He would denounce any party, however, that was opposed to sound money and adopted a platform directly op. posed to the interests of the wage earners. MR. POWDERLY AND THE K. OF L. The Official Journal of the Order At- tacks Him. The recent declaration of Mr. Powderly for McKinley has aroused the resentment of the cfficers of the Knights of Labor,--of which he was the head for fourteen years: Prior to November, 1893. Since Mr. Pow- derly’s frst interview, in which he called upon the workingmen of America to sup- port McKinley and sound money, various charges have been made by the leaders of the organization going to show that Mr. Powderly has not been consistent in thus supporting the principles of the republican Party, and in pronouncing against the free coinage of silver. The latest issue of the Journal of the Knights of Labor, published in this city at the B street headquarters of the order, ccntains nearly half a page of matter intended to discredit Mr. Pow- derly’s position. It reproduces in fac-simile the letter referred to by him jn his speech last night, written November 1, 1588, to General Secretary-Treasurer John Hayes. Accorapanying the letter is the fol- Icwing comment: “The following letter of Terry V. Pow- derly, written in the campaign of 188s, shcws what his opinion of the republican party was then. He upholds that party today for doing the very things he con- demned it for then. If the republicans stood for banks, bonds and monopolies tren, how much more do they show sub- serviency to that same class of cutthroats now. What made Terry Powderly change his mind? Was it the visit made to Hanna last week?” In addition is reproduced the circular let- ter addressed by General Worthy Foreman M. J. Bishop, August 21, to the order, pay- ing respects to Mr. Powderly’s recent ut- terances in caustic language. A synopsis of this letter has already appeared in The Star. Fusion in North Carolina. The North Carolina republican and pop- ulist committces have affected fusion on all state officers except governor, lieuten- ant governor and auditor. These will be arrarged later. They also fused on con- gresgicnal nominations, giving the repub- licans four districts, in which the nominees are all supporting McKinley and the goid standard, and the populists five districts. One cf the republicans indorsed is Geo. H. White, the negro nominee from the second district. No action was taken on the elec- teral ticket. Texas Republicans, The Texas republican state convention at Fort Worth completed its labors yester- day. The nomination of McKinley and Ho- bart wi ratified and the St. Louis plat- form indorsed with great enthusiasm. No state ticket was nominated. The question of fusion was referred to a plenary com- mittee. E. H. R. Green, son of the richest woman in America, was elected chairman of the state executive committee. It was the largest republican convention ever held in Texas. Several prominent democrats took the platform and announced that they would support McKinley and Hobart. The Iowa Populists. The Icwa populists met in state conven- tion at Des Moines yesterday. The conven- tion was a large one, containing nearly 800 delegates. Charles Lloyd of the third district was temporary chairman and W. H. Roby of the eighth district permanent creirman. General Weaver and other lead- ers were present and spoke. The platform adopted indorses free silver coinage at 16 to 1, and all other populistic doctrines. No licket was nominated. The democratic ticket nominated at Ottumwa, together with the democratic electors, was indorsed in a single resolution. This is in accordance with an agreement entered into between the leaders of the two parties. The Montana Republicans. Yesterday afternoon's session of the Mon- tana republican state convention was a most stormy one, and at one time it looked as though the gold men would walk out of the hall. The trouble arese over the report of the committee on permanent organiza- tion. There were a majority and two minor- ity reports. The majority report was adopted after several hours of heated de- bate. After the adoption of the majority report the next order of business was the nomination of governor. J. E. Rickards, the present incumbent; Lieut. A. C. Botkin and Col. Kessler were put in nomination. Botkin was nominated on the fifth ballot. The convention completed the ticket as follows: Lieutenant governor, P. R. Dol- man; secretary of state, Louis Rotwitt; treasurer, W. G. Webster; auditor, A. L. Love; superintendent of public mstruction, J. B. Hendrix; attorney general, 8. G. Mur- Tey; associate justice, 8. O. Grubb. The silver men then withdrew to allow the gold men to adopt a platform and nom- frate congressional and McKinley electors. Great Gold Meeting at Danville. Ex-Governor Wm. BH. Cameron of Virgin- {a last night addressed an audience of a thousand people in the Academy of Music at Danville, advocating the gold standard and the candidacy of Palmer and Buckner. Large numbers of negroes were turned away for want of accommodation. ‘i Judge Earle’s Majority.

The two candidates for Congressmep.at-large, previously nomi- nated at the Allentown convention, having resigned, Dewitt C,, Dewitt, democrat, and Jerome T. "Alaa n, populist, were chosen in their stead. Three ef. the four electors-at- large had also resigned, and their places were filled by Thomas Sterritt and Louis M. Ireland, populist, and Thomas G.

At a late hour last night the democratic convention of the fourth Virginia district nominated Sidney P, Epes of Nottoway for Congress on the first ballot. The republican: congressional convention of the thirty-frst New York district has renominated Henry C. Brewster for Con- gress. Representative John C. Bell was unant- mously renaminated by the populist con: gressional convention for the second dis- trict of Colorado yesterday. He will have the indorsement ‘of the democrats, the silver party and the silver republicans. The democratic convention of the third Obio district has nominated John L. Bren- ner of Dayton for Congress, vice Paul J. Sorg, the incumbent, who had been renom- inated and declined. The democratic convention of the elev- enth Texas congressional district has adopt- ed a silver platform and renominated Con- gressman Kleberg. Speke for the Gold Standard. William A. Lynch made an address to a large audience in the Tabernacle at Canton, Ohio, last night in support of a gold stand- ard. Mr. Lynch, aside from being presi- dent of the Canton-Massillon electric rail- way and general manager of the Aultman Company Agricultural works, has been ac- tively engaged in railroad work for some years and president of the Pittsburg, Akron and Western railroad until it passed to a receiver, which position he also filled. He is an active member of the board of trade and a leading democrat, who has been active in every campaign for years. He was Major McKinley's firat political op- ponent, running for prosecuting attorney when the major was elected to his first pub- llc office. He has since oposed McKinley politically and was one of the hardest workers in the famous Warwick campaign, making a personal canvass of the district. He was a delegate to the Indianapolis con- vention. The meeting last night was ar- ranged by the railway men’s gold stand- ard club and the discussion limited to the currency question. The meeting attracted peta attention and a large crowd was pres- ent The Colorado Republicans, The Colorade republican state convention yesterday at Denver made the following nomination: Presidential electors—E.

Mulnix of Las Animas; state treasurer, George W. Keppart of La Platta; state auditor, John W. Lowell of Routt. A resolutions was adopted requiring all the nominees to place their resignations in the hands of: the eommittee on fusion, which is conferring with like committees of the demoeratte, populist and silver par- ties. The resolutions declare for bimetallism and protection, ‘as set forth in our nation- al platforms previcus to 1896, and as ad- hered to by Abraham Lincoln and the fcunders of the republican party.” The party is: pledged to the support of Bryan and Sewall, and the St. Louis bolt- ers are indorsed. Senator Teller and Representatives Shaf- roth and Bell. are-commended for their work 1 Congress ,and indorsed for re- election. The silver party’s state conven- tion has not mage any nominations, and is awaiting the results of the fusion con- ference. ats Kansan Straightout Populists. Middle-of-the-road populists of Kansas last evening issued a call for a state con- vention to nominate Bryan and Watson electors for Kansas, The call. is signed by W. F. Rightmire, who was the state union labor candidate fur attorney general in 1888 and the populist candidate for chief justice in 1890, ana by John F. Willits, the populist candidate for governor in 1890. Mr. Rightmire is just from a consultation with Candidate Watson at Erie, Kansas, and says Chairman Breldenthal’s attitude toward Watson cannot be overlooked by self-respecting populists. Chairman Brei- denthal is declared to have been decidedly lukewarm in his recognition of Mr. Watson when the candidate came Into the state in ‘open ‘his campaign, and it Is also said’ the managers of the regular populist organiza- tion have endeavored to keep Mr. Watson out of the state, considering his campaign to be in opposition to the democratic-popu- list fusiqn agreement. The Nevada Republicans. The republican state convention of Ne- vada was called to order at Carson yester- day with all counties save one represented. Ex-Governor R. K. Colcord called the meet- ing to order, and Senator Summerfield was echcsen permanent chairman, and E. D. Vanderlith secretary. The platform asks for the free coinage of the American pro- duct of silver, or free coinage by interna- tional agreement; demands protection for American industries; denounces free trade; demands equal suffrage and the settlement of labor strikes by arbitration. Presidential electors were selected as fol- lows: A. C. Bragg, John Lewis, Z. Pierce; Dr. Davis of White Pine county received the nomination for Congress; Colonel Mcore of Elko for lieutenant ‘governor, Judge M. A. Murphy of Esmeralda for su- preme judge, J. M. Fulton, regent, long term, and Professor McDermid for short term’ regent. All were nominated by ac- clamation. The new state central com- mittee chose R. K. Colcord, chairman; E. D. Vanderlith, secretary. Addressed by President Ingalls. President M. E. Ingalls of the Chesa- peake and Ohio and Big Four roads made a political address at the Academy of Music, Richmond, Va. last night. The building was packed to the doors. He declared for McKinley and denied that he was trying to coerce his employes into vot- ing the republican ticket. The Colorado Populixts. Colorado populists state convention met at Pueblo Wednesday and nominated Bryan and Sewall electors named by the recent democratic state convention and appointed @ committee of,¢leven, who left for Denver early in the evening, for a conference with lke committees of democrats, silver repub- licans and silver party, looking to a union of all free coinage ferces in Colorado on a state ticket. Agjourpment was then taken to 8 o'clock to hear the report of the com- mittee on resofutiofi¥. When the conven- tion reassembled in the evening Lafe Pence was unanimously elected permanent chair- man. ‘The resolutiohs réported indorse Senator ‘Teller in laudatory {bnes, pledge him sup- pert for re-eleétion;“¢ommend Representa- tive Bell (populist) of the second district; indoree the silxer loyalty of Representa- tive Shafroth (tepublican) of the first dis- trict, and takd fon on state issues. Corsiderable distuss{on was aroused by the (tative Shafroth. Some nded more highly, oth- ers wanted himi ignored. The resolutions as repcrted were finally adopted. The A. R. U. for Bryan. The American Railway Union, whose president is Eugene V. Debs, in concur- rence with the board of directors has is- sued an address to railway employes. It opens with animedversions on the rail- roads for the activity of managers in or- ganizing gold standard clubs and “tem- porarily changing depots and shops into wigwams where only one side of the money question is permitted to be heard.” “It is not free silver that has unloosed and enraged this railroad moloca,” the ad- dress continues. “Then what is it? Here is the answer? ‘The attack in the democratic platform on government by injunction.” After praising Judge Henry Caldwell it clcses with a pledge of support to William J. Bryan for President.

The September report of the statistician of the Department of Agriculture shows a decline in the condition of corn from the August statement of six points, or from 96 Per cent in August to 91 in September. The averages in the principal corn-grow- ing states are: Kentucky, 93; Ohio, 104; Michigan, 104; Indiana, 106; Illinois, 100; Iowa, 113; Missouri, 85; Kansas, 89; Ne- braska, 103. Although there has been a falling off in condition in some states, particularly in Kansas and Nebraska, the crop this year Promises to be a large one. Nearly all the Breat central states report a high condi- thon, though with many local reports of drouth, flooding rains, insects, or, along the northern border, early frosts. The general condition of wheat, consid- ering both winter and spring varieties, when harvested was 74.6 against 75.4 in 1895 and 83.7 in 1894. The reported conditions for the principal wheat states are as follows: Ohio, 52; Michigan, 75; Indiana, 66; Illinois, 77; WIs- consin, 70; Minnesota, 80; Iowa, 84: Mis- souri, 75; Kansas, 70; Nebraska, 77: South Dakota, 76; North Dakota, 61; California, 100; Oregon, 80, and Washington, 75. East of the Rocky mountains complaints of both quality and quantity of the wheat crop are almost universal, the causes al- leged being winter killing, due to deficient snow covering, stunted growth, due to early drouth, insect attacks, rust and es- pecially the prevalent heavy rains follow- ing harvest, from which a large percentage of the grain sprouted. The Pacific slope suffered somewhat, chiefly from dry weather shrinking the grain, but not so generally as the central and eastern states. The European agent of the department reports a general reduction from earlier estimates of the wheat crop owing to un- favorable weather, which was particularly bad at harvest time in central Europe. Condition of cats when harvested was 74 per cent, against 77.8 in August; rye, &2: barley, 83.1; buckwheat, 93.2; tobacco, 81.5, a fall of five points since August; potatoes, 83.2, against 90.8 per cent last year. — WILL VOTE FOR PALMER. Fourth Assistant Postmaster General Maxwell Writes a Letter. R. A. Maxwell, who is fourth assistant postmaster general, has written a letter to the editor of a paper in Batavia, N. Y., arrouncing that he will vote for Palmer and Buckner. He says: “The Chicago convention, from the outset, trampled upon party usages, deprived a sovereign state of its voice in the proceedings, assailed with unbridled abuse Grover Cleveland, the only democrat in thirty-six years who has brought the party into power in the nation, and refused to recognize even the honesty of the national administration and of the thousands of democrais who con- stitute it. Diverted from the acknowl- edged purpose of leaders of various new parties, who believed they controlled it, to nominate for the presidency a repubiican United States Senator, the convention in frenzy turned to a man who had publicly declared that he was rot a democrat and selected him as fit in its judgment to lead the party of McClellan, Seymour, Tilden, Hancock and Cleveland. Mr. Maxwell alludes to the Indianapolis convention as that of the “reassembled democracy.” ————-2-___ Fraud Order.
