McCuen, who owned the wagon from which the liquor was sold and who owned the stock contain- ed therein, was the principal witness. He testified that the articles sold from the wa- gon were not alcoholic, but a special prep- aration put up by himself. Constable Webster swore that the bottles captured by him contained the regular standard beer. Several others testified that they got drinks at the wagon. Justice Kirby fined Burnett $10 for selling liquors and dismiss- ed the other charges. Webster expressed himself as disgusted with the trial and said he was done with Fairfax county cases. Notes.

HARD TO GET FUNDS ———— ‘Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. NEW YORK, September 9, 1896. Everybody is trying to guess what the democratic state convention will do with the Chicago platform and Messrs. Bryan and Sewall next week. The convention is to be held in Buffalo Wednesday and will nominate a state ticket. That, however, is considered of secondary interest as com- pared with the attitude toward the national ticket and the doctrines laid down in the national platform. It would not be very hard to predict just about what would happen if it were not for the fact that two or three men who have usually controlled the state conventions, 50 far as relates to the construction of state platforms, are preserving a most mysteri- ous silence as to their proposed action. Chief among these is Senator Hill. On most occasions in very recent years Senator Hill has had a great deal to say about the man- agement of these party gatherings. It is possible that he may do so this time, and it is possible, on the other hand, that the con- vention may have’ gotten aw: from the Senator and will take him ith it as it makes a running jump for the Chicago Platform. Hill's Conference With Tammany. Senator Hill has recently had a confer- ence with some of the men who control both the state machinery and the Tam- many organization. Tammany, which de- clared formally in favor of sound money a year ago, and which sent sound money dele- gates to the state convention which chose delegates to Chicago, has gone squareiy back on this record and is now shouting loudly for Bryan and free ailver. This, at any rate, is the fact so far as the leaders who have the management of the organiza- tion is concerned. There are some of the most prominent men in the organization who will not support Bryan and who do not hesitate to say so. They were delegates to the Chicago convention, and they maintain the same attitude that they did when they sat in their seats in the Coliseum. But John C. Sheehan, who is acting as the leader of Tammany in the absence of Rich- ard Croker, has committed the ancient so- cléty to the platform and has selected dele- gates to the Buffalo convention who will obey orders from himself. The delegation contains fewer men whose names are known outside of the 14th street wigwam than any which has been sent by Tammany to a state convention for many years. Such men as ex-Mayor Hugh J. Grant, Gen. Daniel E. Sickels, Rollin M. Morgan, Jonn R. Fellows, John B. McClellan, DeLancey icoll and J. Sargent Cram are not on the ii They are for sound money, and that shut them out. A few hours before the delegates to the state convention were chosen in New York city Senator Hill was here and had a con- ference with Mr. Sheehan and other Tam- many leaders. Some of the prominent men from “up the state” were also present, and the situation which will confront the party at Buffalo was discussed quite fully. Some have thought that Senator Hill took this occasion to make a last appeal to Tam- many Hall to refrain from indorsing the Chicago platform and ticket. Others have thought that he simply asked the repre- sentatives of Tammany to follow the ad- vice of Chairman Hinkley of the state committee, and refrain from putting them- selves on record before the date of the state convention, and yet others who saw that Tammany proceeded with all haste to elect free silver delegates a few hours,af- ter the Senator's visit, came to the con- clusion that Senator Hill had determined to indorse the Bryan and Sewall ticket him- self, and allowed that fact to become known at the conference. But Senator Hill is silent, and no one can say positively what advice he gave to Tammany Hall or what Tammany Hall made to aim. It is believed by those who have followed clcse- ly the various assembly district conven- tions, that a majority of the delegates who will be at Buffalo will favor a square in- dorsement of the Chicago ticket and plat- form. Senator Edward Murphy and his Heutenants, who control the state ma- chinery, let their position in favor of Bry- an be known before the first of these con- ventions was held, and a wink is as good as a nod to the great majority of demo- crats of the state, who owe allegiance to the organization, and are great sticklers for “regularity.” So, it 1s doubtful if any- thing, unless it should be the powerful hand of Senator Hill, can stop the Buffalo convention from indorsing the ticket. Hard to Get Funds. There are many interesting developments in connection with this plunge into the gulf of free silver which Tammany has taken. One of them is that Tammany is finding it hard work to get campaign funds this year. The men who have in other years been liberal contributors have either locked their wallets up in the safe and gone to Europe, or begun sending checks to the managers of the ticket nominated at Indianapolis the other day. John C. Shee- han is the chairman of the finance com- mittee of the Tammany organization. He succeeded Richard Croker in this position. The resources are so few this year that Mr. Sheehan has recently felt called upon to issue an open circular letter appealing for funds. The fact that such a letter as this one has come out of Tammany Hall is indica- tion more strongly than almost anything else that has occurred that “‘the tiger” is in a different lair since the events of two years ago, when Mayor Strong was elected. Mr. Sheehan makes no bones of the situa- tion, and he has tssued a call which would have been regarded two years ago as a cu- tiesity worthy of being framed and hung up in the museum of some curiosity hunt- er. Time was when {f Tammany wanted any money it used to send out word to some thousands of office holders and some other thousands of saloon keepers, naming such amounts as it seemed to the leaders would be appropriate contributions, and the cash always came in. This year Mr. Sheehan approaches the subject in this way: “For the necessary funds we appeal to the patriotism and loyalty of the people of our city. We appeal to those who love their country and who desire to again see {t prosperous and happy. In the name of the thousands of suffering people who are now in enforced idleness, but who, with our old, tried and sound financial system restored, will find plenty of work, we ask you to help us. No matter how small the contribution, it will be cheerfully and gratefully received, and those who con- tribute are assured of an economi and Judicious disbursement of the same.” Under the system which prevails in the Tammany society the chairman of the finance committee has an assistant or dep- uty, who is one of the officers of the Co- lumbian order of Tammany. His official title is the Wiskinkie. It is his business to go about and diligently collect cash. Daniel M. Donegan {s the Wiskinkie now, and he is busily trying to get in dollars. ue says it Is not a good year for collec- on. Candidates for Governor. Three or four men have been mentioned as possible candidates for governor on the democratic ticket. Most prominent of all is John B. Stanchfield of Elmira, who was formerly the law partner of Senator Hill. Mr. Stanchfield was early in the field. He was a member of the legislature and be- fore its session ended in April he had a considerable boom. This quieted down a little bit after the Chicago platform wag adopted, but inasmuch as Mr. Stanchfleld gave a half-way indorsement to the Chi- cago ticket soon after it was nominated, on the plea of regularity, when the local con- ventions began to be held and indorsed the same candidates he again came into the foreground. He has not made any definite anouncement that he wants to be the can- didate, nor has he defined his attitude to- ward the Chicago ticket and platform with any great emphasis. Some of the most prominent men in the party in the state concede that he could have the nom- ination tf he would come out flatly and Ts = let his position nosed , Among _the other candidates wid Wil ‘possibly Have some support-in the g@ngention are John Boyd Thacher, tice 9) pany. and ex- Secretary of State Fipheri’ Coo! z of Roch- OUT IN FARR LOWA ow ih . exe 2 Farmers Reported t48e,in.

I have been mingling with them in this region for sev- eral days, en route from your city, via Chicago and St. Paul, and I have yet to find among the farmers a silverite who has been identified with the republican party. The excitement among the people—whether voters or not, women, boys, and all classes —is intense, and should it continue to grow, I look for another campaign like that of 1860. The republicans are aroused, the like of which I have riot seen since that time.’ People out here don’t wear a little tiny badge that you can hardly see with a Spyglass; their badges are larger than a silver dollar, and the ane that I see the most is that of McKinley. His praises are sounded on board of the cars, on the street corners, and even in church yesterday his manhood was the subject of praise and comment by the minister, the sentiment appearing to please every man, woman and child in the large and intelligent-looking congregation. Men go around the strects delivering literature and discussing the questions of the day. A dealer in badges told me that he could not supply the demand at times for the McKinley brand, but that he had on hand all the Bryan ones of a certain kind, ex- cept one that he had given away. The knights of the road—commercial men are very numerous in this region—are unani- mous for McKinley. They exert a wonder- ful influence in trade centers. Sentiment in Other States, At La Crosse, Wis., I talked with the chairman of a republican county commit- tee, and, he said, he had canvassed the county thoroughly, and had failed to find & republican wavering in his support of McKinley, but had on the contrary found many voters heretofore democratic or doubtful who intended to vote for him this year. He said he would not be surprised to see Wisconsin give 75,000 majority—for McKinley. I talked with farmers from the Dakotas and from Minnesota, and they all said that as far as they knew no republican in their neighborhood intended to vote for Bryan. ‘The sentiment among the old soldiers in attendance at the encampment at St. Paul was, as far as I was able to judge, unani- mous for their old comrade, Major .Mc- Kinley. : 2 This town 13 beautifully situated on a lake about seven miles long and two wile.

J.) WHITAKER. CLEAR LAKE, Cerro Gordo County, Iowa, September 7, 1896.) 1 WILL SUPPORT TUNNELL. What Muay Solidify the Democrats in Little Delaware. Correspondence of The Evening Star. WILMINGTON, Bel. September 11, 1896. Peter J. Ford, the wealthy morocco man- ufacturer of this city, who was defeated for the democratic nomination for governor by Ebe W. Tunnell, has sent a letter’ to the democratic electors of Delaware in which he denies a report that has been in circulation since the democratic con- vention to the effect that he is opposed to the candidacy of Tunnell and would lead a movement to secure his defeat in New Castle county. After clearly setting forth his opinicns and views on the question of @ man’s religious faith entering into his candidacy: for any public office Mr.» Hord says: “As to the reason for my defeat; ‘I must cor-fess on my honor as a man and a Cath- olic, impetied only by a sense of duty to our people, that I do not ascribe my defeat to my faith. Every instance in my can- didacy down to the close of the ballot only corfirms this conclusion. In the first place, while the impression was tried to be created that I was in the position of seeking office, I desire to say, from the first day the sug- gestion was made to me by a party of lead- ing democrats from the different counties, all of whom were Protestants, I never ap- proached a man in this state for the pur- pose of influencing him in my behalf. My stanchest and most unyielding friends in the legislature, even to this day, I am proud to say, without exception were mem- bers of the ‘Protestant faith of the most Pronounced type.” He says he shall-adyocate and support Mr. Tunnell's election and earnestly begs his friends to set aside all feeling of re- sentment, and do what he believes Mr. Tunnell would have done had he been the nominee. In another paragraph of his letter Mr. Ford says that he ascribes his defeat for the nomination for governor to the machi- rations of two democratic politicians and office holders of his own religious faith, and he warns them of his-determination to wreak his vengeance upon them at some near future date, Following so closely after Mr, Tunnell’s letter of acceptance of the gubernatorial ncmination, this emphatic declaration by Mr. Ford that he proposes to support Mr. Tunnell, is bound to have an influence in the direction of harmony in the democratic ranks, ‘Those democrats of Wilmington and New Castle who s* loudly denounced Mr. Tun- nell in and out of the convention, did so belleving that Mr. Ford would join them in their crusade. All these* outbursts of indignation and condemnation Mr. Ford's letter now de- clares were directly abhorrent to his senti- ments, and he urges that, they be discon- tinued at once, - The effect of Mr. Fdra’s declaration will probably not be felt for gome time.

POLLS IN INDIANA] THE NEW MYSTERY. [ez Neither Party Satisfied With the One Just Taken. ADVANCE IN SOUND MONEY MOVEMENT Republicans Say the National Com- mittee is Rainbow Chasing. A SWITCHING AROUND Special Correepondence of The Evening Star. INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., September 8, 1696. Indiana is in a sort of political chaos just at present. It has been the custom of both of the great political parties to take two Polls of the state prior to each election. The first is taken about sixty days before the election to determine as to the resi- dence of the voters and also to get some indication as to the preferences of each. The second poll is taken about thirty days before the election, and that is mainly de- voted to determining what political chang2s have been made. Both parties have com- pleted their first poll, and, strange to say, neither is satisfied. The republicans are absolutely alarmed at the magnitude of the gains reported. If the indications as shown by their books are true they will carry the state by a plurality reaching nearly 100,000. This the leaders do not be- Heve and they candidly admit that the Polling has been carelessly done. The Demoernatic Poll. The democratic poll undertook only to determine the number of democrats, re- publicans and populists, without dividing the democrats into two classes—gold and silver. They have counted on getting prac- tically all of the 29,000 populists, and have added them to the democrats reported, and still they find themseives in the minority. They had confidently expected the poll would show such gains from silver repub- lcans as to put them largely in the lead, large enough to be able to spare to t! Palmer ticket all the gold democrats and yet have a very comfortable plurality. In this their disappointment is very keen, and they blame their poll-takers, accusing them of being careless in searching out the silver republicans. They had been led to belleve that the silver republicans would average about fifteen to a precinct, or 45,- 000 in all. Their poll shows only about four, anf even this number is double what that of the republicans give. Advance in Sound Money Movement. There has evidently been a very marked advance movement in the sound money feeling among the democrats since the late convention. A number of very prominent men, who have hitherto kept their own coursel, are now openly talking for sound money. It looks now as if the feeling will be very much stronger than was antici- pated even by the most hopeful. Take one example: A Guiet poll was taken In the Nttle city of Columbus, ,about forty miles south of this city. In two precincts alone the sound money democrats numbered for- ty-eight, of whom twenty-two have openly declared their determination to vote for McKinley, to make his election sure. The others will either vote for him or for Palm- er. They will also vote for the republican candidates for Congress and the state leg- islature. It is claimed that a poll of the whole city will show like results. In this city it is believed that at least forty per cent of the democrats are for sound money and will so vote. A Switching Around. There seems to be a switching around in the whole state. Four years ago the towns and cities were against the republi- cans, while the farmers stood steadfast. Now the towns and cities show large gains for the republicans, while the losses are among the agricultural classes. The re- publican leaders realize this and are now devoting all their attention to educating them on the money question. The democrats admit the state will go republican, but they expect to hold the legislature, and are addressing themselves to that work with a great deal of energy. They also expect to gain back at least five of the congressional delegation. Complaints of Rainbow Chasing. While the outlook is so flattering for the republicns there are still many heart- burnitgs. Just now they are finding a great deal of fault with the national com- mittee. It will be remembered that four years ago Chairman Carter went rain- bow chasing down south and lost Indiana and Illinois. It is charged that the na- tional committee is now doing the same thing. A few days ago, just when Indiana was begging for money to apply to legiti- mate purposes, setting up the fact that they could not pay clerk hire or printing bills, a Texas republican or two called at Chicago headquarters, and told great stor- les about what could be done in that state, if money was forthcoming, and at once the committee appropriated $59,000 to carry the state and sent James N. Huston of In- diana to oversee the disbursement of the funds. The republicans here say that with even cne-fourth of that amount they could make’ Indiana certain and carry at least four democratic congressional districts,and with the addition of a few thousands more the state legislature could be secured. They are loudly condemning rainbow chas- ing, end accusing the national committee with incompetency. There is no disputing the fact that the republican commit- tee of this state is hard up for money, nor can it get any. It is said that outside of the ,assessments on the candidates for state officers less than $2,500 has been raised so far, and that no more is in sight. Rainbow chasing is not the only com- plaint against the Chicago branch of the committee. It is sajd that in the giving out of places at headquarters Indiana has been practically ignored. It is true that a large number of the clerks and employes are charged up as being Hoosiers, but it is said that most of them long since lost their identity with the state. These things are being discussed quite widely and much soreness is the result. WHERE PRO: RITY REIGNS, Everybody Said to Be on the Boom at Mngara City. Correspondence of The Evening Star. TORONTO, Canada, September 5, 1806. A two days’ stay at Niagara Falls, spent in exploration and inquiries, made me think it the most lively and prosperous place be- tween this and Washington. Its cheap water power has made it a manufacturing city of nearly twenty thousand inhabitants. Several large flouring mills are in opera- tion; also, mills that turn out immense quantities of wood pulp paper for the daily and weekly press, cheaper, it is claimed, than at any other point. ‘A monopoly is enjoyed of the manufacture from coke, coal and another substance of a material hard enough to polish diamonds. It is probable that very many kinds of estab- lishments needing cheap power, and plenty of it, will be located at Niagara Falls City. Some of the active business men there cherish the expectation that the city will grow up as St. Paul and Minneapolis have done. It has certainly grown rapidly in the past ten years, while many other cities have decreased. It is the only place I have seen where real estate prices have not gone down, where real estate dealers are busy and in good spirits and the building trades are in healthy activity. Many of the dwelling houses erected for workingmen and their families are two stories high, well built, roomy and with large yards. They are models of their class. Niagara Falls City seems to have escaped the general financial depression. W. B. —— Smith and the Civil Service. To the Editor of The Evening Star: In your tssue of the 9th Instant I notice an article, “Free Silver Officials,” Mr. Hoke Smith's case, saying that he had adminis- tered the civil service law, and still stood by that, &c. I most emphatically deny it, and it can be proven that the civil service law was violated in more than 100 cases during Mr. Smith's official term as Secretary of the In- terlor, especially toward ex-Union soldiers.
