The Union Labor Party Nominates Btreetenof 1llinois for President —Harmonious New York Republicans, New York Republicans. Burrato, May 16—The republican state convention was called to order at 12:20 by General Knapp, chairman of the executive committee. After the roll call, Charles E. Fiteh was chosen temporary ch airman and he briefly addressed the committee, Ho said in substance: New York republicans do not mean to bind its delegates as to their individual prefer- ences for national standard bearers. You will trust to the sagacity and discretion of those composing the national council of the party. When thus they have reached the wisest conclusion, you will expect them to act in unison that so whatever voice imperial New York may have she will secure that position to which she is entitled by her popu- lation, wealth and her unique position as the chief pivotal point upon which the suftrages 0f12,000,000 voters will wirn. We do no indi- cate in advance who the nomince will be. He may be the gallant leader of 1884, whose presence was inspira- tion and whose clarion voice rang out along the lines, whom we followed to defeat but not to disgrace, and who stiil remains the re- publican of republicans, the American of Americans. He may b the honored son of New York whose fame as au orator has pen- etrated every corner of the land. The nom- inee may be one of these, or he may be a son of the great west that is expanding its empire, whose free soil rears free men and educates statesmen in the school of loyalty— the west of Rusk and Alger, of Greshau and Allison, of Harrison and Sherman. But whoever he is he will receive the cordial and united support of the republicans of New York. Upon the conclusion of the address the usual committees were appointed and the conven- tion took @ recess until 4 this afternoon, The convention assembled at 5 o'clock and chose Pitts us permuncnt chairman. He made a ringing specch on taking the scat. The committee on resolutions then reported the following platform: The republicans of New Yorlk, in conven- tion assembled, cortain that the national convention at Chicago will present candi- dates for president and vice president whose devotion to American ideas and to the protection of American labor, agriculture and manufacture, will command the approval of the people, pledge to the republican standard bearer in the na- tional contest their united and zcalous sup- port, and enter upon the canvass confident of viatory. Resolved, That all questions relating to the policy of the republican party as to the na- tional and state party be referred to the na- tional and state conventions respectively, to be held during the present year, The committee also reported the following: Resolved, That we approve the action of the republican members of congress in 0ppos- ing the Mills tariff bill, so called, and we urge them to persevere in defeating every device intended to place upon the statute books the free trade theorics of Mr. Cleveland’s annual message. The report was approved. Resolutions were then presented by indi- vidval members of the convention and adopt- ed, paying tribute to the memory of Roscoe Conkling. und providing a uniform method for the choice of presidential electors by con- gressional districts hereafter. ‘Then General James Vurnum arose and killed the opposition to Senator Hiscock by reading telegram from Levi P, Morton, asking that his name be not used in the convention. Closcly following bim George Blss arose and with- out a speech placed in_ momination for delegates at-large C. Depew, Frank Hiscock, Warner Miller and Thos C. Platt.

Hubbard was elected temporary chairman. He declared the country on the threshold of a political V- com- upheaval.

After the tinent of the usual committees tue cony 1on took a recess 1o 2 o'clock, On reassembling the couvention made the temyporary organization permanent. Spceches x‘vrc_ made by District Attorney 10 F, Davis ) Minncapolls and Rev. §. G Switk of St Paul. The latter mentioned the names of the possible standard bearers, and each name brought forth cheers from the delegates, but at the mention of Gresham the con- vention went wild. The following were elected delegates-at-large to the Chi- cago convention: F. F. Davis, of Minne- apolis; G. G. Hartley, C. O, Edwards and Joel P. Heatwele, The platform arraigns the democratic party for professing attach- ment to state sovereigmty and home rule and denying both to the citizens of Dakota for political reasons only; for refusing relief to union soldiers and sailors: for failing to re. duce the surplus, for the maintenance of a postal service that had become a dis grace; for failing to provide seaboard de fenses, and for its humiliatingly weak ad- inistration of foreign affairs, While ad- hering to the principle of protection to Amer- jcan labor and productions, the duties on imports shall be so adjusted as not to foster monopolics, It stigmatizes the tariff legislation proposed by the demo- crats as a glaring subterfuge and an attempt to destroy the American policy of protection to American_industries and labor in the in- terest of forcign countries. The con- vention also adopted resolutions declar- ing that the party recognized -the evils of unrestrained saloon _interests and requesting the delegates to the nationdl con- vention to secure a plank in the platform of that convention recommending each state to enact such restrictive laws as will reduce the evils of the liquor traftic to the narrowest practical limit, The convention then adjourned. All the aelegates-at-large are said to be for Gresham. Presidential Candidates Nominated. CiNeixyat, Mav 16,—The union labor convention met at 10 o'clock this morning and completed its permanent organization. L. H. Weller of Towa tried to pass a resolu- tion against fusion with the republican or democratic party, but failed and it was re- ferred to the committee on resolutions. An adjournment was then taken until 2 this af- ternoon. On reassembling, a communication from the National Temperance society suggesting a pronibition plank in the platform and the nomination of a prohibition candidate was offered and referred to the committee on resolutions. Pending the report of that com- mittee, fiveminute reports were made from the different states. The committee on resolutions then pre- sented a report. The preamble is quite long and asserts the prevalence of general dis- content and poverty among farmers; the frequency of strikes; the general hopeless- ness of labor: the flourishing land monop- olies, and the United States senate has be- come an open scandal, In the declaration of principles the total subversion of the private land system is demanded as a proper solution of the present conditions; that the means of communication and transportation should be owned by the people; advocates the establishing of ‘& national mouctary sy tem in the interest of producers instead of speculators and usurers; indorses arbi tration in place of strikes and oth injurious methods of settling labor dispute: contract convict lubor should be vrohibited ; hours of labor should be reduced commen- surate with the in ssed production of labor saving machimery: employes should be pro- tected from bodily injury; equal pay for equal work for both sexes; demunds the 8- age of the service pension bill; advocates an income tax as the most suitable system of taxation; United States senators should be elected by the direct vote of the people; demands legislation which will exclude Chi- nese from the United States; insists upon female suffrage, and claims that the para- mount issues to be solved are the abolition of usury, monopoly and trust, and both parties are denounced for creating and perpetuating these monstrous evils, A minority report was made but rejected. After adopting the first plank in the plat- form m the land question @ recess was taken until 8 o'clock this evening. That plank practically excludes the united labor party from joining the union labor. The entire evening was spent by the united labor convention in trying to dis- pose of the report of the committee on reso- Iutions. The chief point of discussion was woman suffrage. This ended by adopting a resolution that suffrage is inherent 1n eiti- zenship and is not to be abridged or denied on uccount of sex. The discussion upon the pilotage system emptied the hall of w ern delegates, and at 11 o'clock the conv tion adjourned uutil 9 o'clock to-morrow mornit At the evening session of the union labor convention the remainder of the platform was adopted in bulk. After a long struggle a resolution in opposition to fusion with other partics was unanimously adopted. The national executive committee was then named and the convention began balloting for president and vice president. 5 J. Streater of Illinois, J. B. Wea ver of lowa, and Gilbert Delaney of Indiana, were named, but the convention by acclamation nominated Mr. Streeter. Sumuel Evans, of Texas, was declared the nominee for vice-president, but deelined, whercupon the couvention nominated Charles I2. Cunuingham, of Arkansas, who accepted. Adjourned sine die.

The speaker mentioned Blaine as the choice of the rank and file of the republican party in that and every other state. Allusions were also mude to General Hawley and Senator Platt as favorite sons, and Chauncoy M. Depow's name was ap- plauded almost as vociferously as Blaine's, The speaker asserted that the tariff must be vevised to suit shifting conditions and that freo trade would fail because y workman reads and thinks fc Democratic civil service reform was denounced as 80 transparenta fraud that wade even the mugwiumps feel sad at hear tand sick at the stomuch.

The cases were brought under the state law to abate the breweries as nuisances, In re- manding the cases Judge Shiras said: T have always held that a federal court cannot take original jurisdiction of any of the cases arising under the prohibitory laws, for th reason that they are quasi-criminal in the relation to the police power of the state; that should the federal court take original _jurisdiction of these cases it would be compelled to enforce the police regulations of the state.

CARS CRUSHED INTO ATOMS. A Wide Diteh Alone Prevents a Fears ful Plunge Into a River Sixty Feet Below—Those Who Were Injured. A Close Call, LeAvviLLe, Colo, May 10.—~Special Tels: gram to Tue Ber)—A special to the Her ald-Democrat from Salida says: The regu. lar night express for Leadville on the Rio ande, which left Donver last evening at § ock, was held at Carson City until 8 o'clock this morning on account of the wreck of a freight twelve miles below Salida, The delayed train stopped at Salida a few min- utes for lunch, and pnlled out at: 10:38 for Leadville. At u point a quarter of a mile north of Brown's Canon station ‘there is & long, sweeping curve, possibly of twelve degrees, and as the train was enters ing upon the curve, running at a speed of thirty miles an hour, the express and baggage car left the track and was dashed to pieces instantly on n mass of rocks to the right, The smoking car following was thrown across the track and partially into a large diteh on the other side. The next car, the regular day conch, turned completely over into the ditch, running full of water, as was also the Glenwood and Aspen slecper, con- necting with it. The rear car was a special sleeper chartered by the Leadville republican delegation to the Pueblo convention. This was badly shaken up and left the rails, but did not turn over. “There was no one in the express ear except +J. B, Walfersberger, who went th the car and was completely cov- ered with debris. He was soon rescued by the passengers. He has sustained, it is feared, serious internal injuries, a severa gash over the lef teye and in the left check. There were but few passengers in the smoking car or the day coach.. The forward sleeper was filled with Glenwood and Aspen people, prominent among these being the delegates to the convention, some with their wives. A railrond man numed Urial Van Vaulkenberg in the day coach was thrown beneath the car and haa his left foot crushed to ajelly and was otherwise injured. j A man named McSmith, of Denver, sustained severe cuts on the head, but not serious. There were several ladies and one or two cnildren i the Aspen coach. They, with others, were thrown into the ditch, "but all escuped without serious injuries. The injured are: J. C. Huckstaff, Denver, rignt unkle broken and both hands badly cuf and burned: J. W. Baineslater, wife and child, all painfully but not seriously injured; in delicate condition, badly injured and futal results feared. No onc except those named sustained other thun slight injuries, except Brakeman Mo: Fadaen, whose legs are braised ; Father Glenson, of Salida, was hurt in the left chest, but it i8 thought not seriously. Within thirty minutes a relief train came up from Salida wiih surgeons who gave prompt attention to the injured. Dr. O'Con- ner says Van Valkenberg will lose his leff foot and the express messenger probably his left eye. All consider the escape from in- stant death miraculous. When the relief train_reached this point it was discovered that others had been more or less injured. These included Mrs, George, Aspen, face cut; O. K. Gaymon, Dillon, left foot and leg badly injured: C. £, Mull, Green Castle, Ind., left ankle sprained and fect budly cut and bruised. A number of passenzers had their cloth- ing morc or less burned from the contents of the stove overturning before the peole could be got out. An alarm of fire was raised and this excitement, added to the shricks of the wowmen and children, made up a scene of terror indescribable. The theory of the accident is that the buggage car was too heavily loaded at the vear end, the incquality throwing the fronf trucks from the tracks us soon as they ha struck the sharp curve. The baggage car s hur so far from the track that the train passed its entire length beyond it before the other cars began to ke their crratic tumble to the right and To the right was a field of great rocks, ighing a hundred tons. Dircetly to oft wus a diteh twelve feet wide through which water was coursing and into which some of the coaches were overturned. The presence of this ditch alone prevented the cars from being dashed down the steep declivity into the mad ri sixty feet below, —— Judge Kreckel's Healtl Sr. Joseru, Mo., May 16, gram o Tue Ber.]—Judge arrived in this city to-d; and opened the United States district court.
