Speeches endorsing Attorney General Leese were warmly appluuded. A telegram was was read from Strector, the party's candid- ate for president, saying that the fuilure to make railrond connection at Crete provented his presence. J. Burrows then reported the platform from the committ resolutions. After reaftirming the principles of the tional platform 1t declares First, that the legislature should maximum r s no higher than through ates: that the policy of discrim ination ngainst the short haul paralyzes our cities and impoverishes the cmers, The true economic policy shoutd be to make the countr) through which the roads pass, wealthy instead of impoverished and to build up remote centers of trade. Second, it fave u of the tho interest of the pi clares for free lumb woods, salt, coal, iroy and raw products upon which labor is expended, and. against the re moval of the tax on spirits.

Reagan Defends Slavery. Bunreav Tiz OMATA Ilm‘..} FOURTEENTI STREET, Wasuixgroy, D. C., Sept. 4. A most unusual, astounding and shameful scene was presented in the senate to-d Senator Reagan of Texas, who was Jeft Davis' sccretury of the treasury and post- master g his bosom friend and coun- sellor, made a passionate and earnest de- fense of slavery, the confederacy and sec Mr. Reagan is the most prominent leader of the confederacy now living except Jeff Davis, and is probably better qualified than any other man to speak on the subject. He declared that the south did not rebel for the propagation of slavery, but for its pres ervation, that the south fought to repel the interfercnce of the morth, that the south preferred to die battling for its rights rather than live and permit the north to intermeddle with them, He de- clared that Washington, Hancock, Jefferson and all the ot who fought for our present. independence and who framed the constitution, were responsible for slay- ery, and that the way the federal gove ment should have procecded to abolish s wus by the purchase of the negroes. Senator izan has become greatly exer cised over the proddings of Senator Blair of New Hampshire, who said that if the south was a vietim of sl ', as Senator R claimed, it was a and anxious victim, That the south not simply contehd for the prese slav it demanded a constitutional ry to propagate it through- out the north and the territor He in- stanced the effort to do this in Kansas which resulted in the dificulty of 135455, He re- minded Mr. Reagan that the democratic side of both the s and house had, in every instance, brought about sectional debates in this congress and that sueh men as he, o continually insulting the north ional harangues. Reagzan sprang 10 his feet excitedly and said that_he never insulted tne north, that he might have in- sulted the republican party, to which Mr. Blair replied that if a party’ could be a sec- tion the republican party was the mnorth as the north had organized that party to strike down the crime of slavery. THE SITUATION IN T0WA. R. Hutchins, who has for several ne sion, George illin did of Hon, yeu for several days been attracting conside attention on the stump for the republ party in Pennsylvania ayd New York. He has rone to Columbus, to attend the reunion, and from there he will proceed to Towa and continue his political speeches. Mr. Hutch- ins says it is scarcely possible, and wholly improbable that the democrats can carry lowa this yea although they are making d efforts to do s0. The democrats, he says, are supplying the third party prohibitionists with funds, are doing it openly, For a St.John eting recently the democratic chairman i 10 pay the hall rent, but to pay the speaker. Mr. Hutchins thinks the railroad fight in lowa on account of the legislature making the railroad com- missioners clective will lose some votes to the republicans and the anti-prohibition re- publicans will make some defections, but the majority for Harrison and Morton will not be less than twenty or twenty-five thousand. He says the republicans will also gain a con- gressman in the state, and that the people there have become thoroughly disgusted with the cowardly policy of Cleveland in his syco- phantic truckling with England.

These facts, taken in connection with the unity of the republican party and the evident deter- mination of its orators, leaders and campaign managers to ‘push things' with the utmost vigor and up to the very eve of the day of the elec inspire us with the hope that the Bmpire state will wheel grandly back into the republican line.

The demo- cratic state convention was called to order to-day by Chairman Dooley of the state cen- tral committee. Congressman Vance was cailed to the chair as temporary chairman, and the usual comuittees were appointed. The temporary organization was then made permanent. In his address Chairman Vance arraigned the republican party for mot keeping its promise as regards the reduction of the tariff. In closing he said; “The democratic party has proved itself abundantly able to govern, The people ave satisfied, and will brush aside the party which has proved itself tobea false propliet, and has attempted to appeal to prejudice rather than reason. Under Grover Cleveland progress has been made, and under him will it continue.” The platform adopted indorses the presi dent in gen and his tariff message in pa; ticular; congratulates the democrats of the house upon the passage of the Mills bill, de- nouncing any duty upon raw material as a burden upon both manufacturer and con- sumer, and devotes an entire plank to the evils of the duty on wool; indorses the presi- dent for “placing the commercial relations of the people of the United States and Canada upon an_equality;” declares in favor of a secret ballot and favors-a revision of the con- stitution, and that state ofticers way be elected by a plurality vote, The name of Luxon B. Morris was pre- sented and a ballot resulted in his nomina- tion for governor. Senator Kirkham of New- fngton was nominated for lieutenant gover- nor, Henry Bishop for secretary of state and Jumes G. Martin for treasurer. Harrison at Fort Wayne. Fr. Warxe, Ind, Sept. 4.—The regular train carrying General Harrison and party was twenty minutes late starting from To- ledo. Short stops were made at White House, Libert nd Napoleon, where he was greeted by crowds at the stations. When he reached Defiance he was greeted by about five hundred people. The stop was too brief for a speech, After muking stops at several small towns the train reached Ft. ne. Fully 5,000 people were at the depot ness his arrival. His special car was switched off and General Harrison and his rty alighted and were escorted to the pub- square. Here a large crowd, numbering 6,000 persons, had assembled to greet the dis- tinguished guest. As the general appeared on the platform he was pelted with a shower of boquets.

CuicaGo, Sept. 4.—[Special Telegram to Tue Bee,|—A new turn was given to the postoftice scandal to-dag by the peculiar com- ments of one of Presilent Cleveland's ap- pointees upon the actions of another Cleve- land appointee. “There i8 no question in my mind,” said Superintgndent of Mails W banks to-day, “that Postmaster Judd had guilty knowledge of the attempt of his law partner, Mr. Esher, 1o levy tribute for po- litical ends from the postofiice employes. Mr. Esher was probably innocent of the matter, being o taken with the idea that he had been chosen to collect this money that he did not for a moment consider whether it was @ moral or legal wrong, “Speaking of Esher,” continued Mr, W banks, “it always stragk me as very strange that he should have been, when he was a student in Mr. Judd's office, down in south- ern Illinois, buying up certificates of the St. Louis & Ceiro narrow gauge road, and all their evidence of ludebtefinelu ut 25 cents on the dollar, while Mr, Judd as attorney for the receiver was iystrumental in redeeming those evidences of indebteduess at ther full i IR 5. 1888, NUMBER 83 | CONGRESSIONAL PROCEEDINGS Mr. Teller Addresses the Senate on the Chinese Question. SOME BASE SLANDERS REFUTED. McCreary Defends the Course of the President on the Fisherics ard is Answered By Mr. Hilt, Senate, WasniNGTON, Sept. 4. —In the senate to-day Mr. Coke called attention to the resolution adopted at the recent convention in Denver, Colo., in favor of a deep water harbor on the northwest coast of the gulf of Mexico. He also presented a memorial on the same sub- ject from the deep water harbor committee of the city of Galveston and asked that it be printed in the Record. So ordered. Mr. Cullom offered a resolution, which was adonted, calling on the secretary of war for information as to the channel of the Detroit river and St. Clair flats—whether its waters are within_the jurisdiction of the United States or Canada, ete. Mr. Cullom also intro- duced a bill to declare trusts unlawful and it was referred to the committee on finance. At 2:45 the senate resumed consideration of the kouse bill to prohibit Chinese immigra- tion, and was addressed by Mr. Teller inits support. He replicd to the argument made yesterday by Mr. George, throwing the r sponsibility for the presence of the Chinese on the republican party. He disclaimed such responsibility, and defendea the course of Harrison in his votes in the senate on the anti-Chinese legislation. The republican can didate for the presidency had oceupied the same ition on the Chinese question as he (Teller) had wlways ocenpied, and was as sound as any man in the world on the ques- tion of protection to American labor, whether against the pauper labor of Kurope or the pauper labor of China. Referring to the Morey letter in the campaign of 1550 as a forgery of the basest kind, he said that it did not suceeed, and that the attack upon the republican candidate would not »d, either. If the people had be- that letter be genuine, Garfield would mot and ought not to have carried one state in the union. It was sh forgery in 1880 and through sland in 1557, that the democrats hoped to obtain power. Mr. Teller proceeded to compare the course of two parties on the Chinese question m California, the only state where that question had erystalized into public opinion, and claimed “that the republican party there had always been opposed to Chinese immigration, while the democratic party had not been. Governor Stanford’s message to the leglslature in 1862 had been the first ofticial declaration against it. At the close of Mr, Teller's speech the Chi- nese bill went over, and after an executive session the senate adjourned. e House. NGTON, Sept. 4.—In the house to-day Mr. Keliy offered a resoulution airecting the al committee on the investigation and construction of the new library building to inquire whether any ‘member of the house has, by himself or in combination with others, sought by persuasion, intimidation or corrupt or improper means to nfluence J. L. Smithmeyer, architect, in the selection, acceptance or approval of inferior or im: propor material to be used in the construction of the bu (Imf. It was finally decided that a new commit- tee should be appointed, it heing intimated that the member referred to by Mr. Kelly was a member of the present committee, The morning hour having expired, Mr Townshend of Illinois submitted L{m conf ence report on the army appropriation bill. An agreement had been reached on all the amendments except those relating to the estabhishment of a gun factory and the manu- facture of ordnance. A further conference was ordered on those amendments. The bill was passed punishing by a fine of not more than $£1,000 nor imprisonment for more than three years of dealers or pre- tended dealers in counterfeit money or other fraudulent devices for using the United States mails, The house then proceeded, as a special m'l]lcrwn consideration of the retaliation bl . Mr. McCreary explained and defended the bill, and controverted the statement that the president had_already sufficient authority to act under the law of 1887, He believed that article 20 of the treaty died when the fisheries articles of the treaty of 1871 died. The pres- ident had been criticised because he had not rushed along a proclamation under the act of 15887, but history showed that General Grant had followed exactly the same line of policy. The power granted to the president in the rcmling bill was no stronger than it ought to be. It was time that Canadian wrongs should be resented by the United States and sup- pressed by great Britain, The bill should be passed promptly. The treatment of Ameri- can fishermen by the Canadian authorities was in violation of that comity, hospitality ana good feeling that the civilization of this age required between neighboring nations. The bill under consideration was no war measure. It was a peace preserver, It was a public_announcement to the people of the United States and eat Britain that the government of the United States proposed to maintain ite dignity and protect the rights of citizens, The J)rfi‘sidcul would exercise the power confided to him intelligently and courageously, The president had a proper appreciation of the dignity and honor of this great republic, and any power placed in his hands would be used for the protection of American dignity and American rights. It was by no means certain that he would be re- quired to 1ssue the proclamation authorized by the bill. He hoped and believed that when the bill was enacted into a law the usual good judgment of the English and Canudian authorities would be manifested, and all difiiculties would be arranged with- out_anything which would break up the cordial relations which had existed for many years between Great Britain and the United States. But let the result be what it might, the president would be supported by the people of the United States, without regard to party, and there would be no division or sectional lines, but the men of the south and the meun of the north would stand shoulder to shoulder in a solid phalanx to defend the rights and honor of Americans.

Congress had taken the matter up and passed the retaliation act. It stood on the statute books still, and eighteen months had passed by and none of the powers conferred by it had been exercised. The sys- tem of outrages had been checked in part largely by the influence of the passage of the retaliation bill. Then negotiations went on und blossomed in the Bayard-Chamber- lain treaty.

A statement so far from the truth is seldom sent out in counection with mewbers of the press located in Washington, It is not within the recollection of the oldest member of the corps of correspondents that an occu- pant of the white house ever carried his re- sentment towards the press to such a degree as Mr. Cleveland. Instead of universal courtesy there have been constant snubs, and frequently opea resontment shown to in: dividuals at the executive mansion. S0 no- torious is this that there are fewer news- paper correspon ionts who visit the white wouse for the purpose of calling on the presi- dent than ever before since Newspaper Row became o feature of Washington itself. The president never loses an opnortunity for say- ing unpleasant things against writers for the press, and only the other day expressed in foreible language his ill feeling towurds the men. Of course, there are exceptions. Hehas a fow intimates to whom he unbos- oms himself, but there is none of that cor- diality of feeling botween tho correspondents and the president that there has been in the ast. President Arthur, for instance, had a nack of winning the friendshiv of even h political encmies in_the corps by his univ sal courtesy and the good fellowship which he expressed towards them. And yet the newspaper men of Washington coild tell some very unpleasant things about Grover Cleveland if they chose to ‘open up the bat- teries. It may be suid to their credit that they suppress the truth about Mr. Cleve- land’s personal habits and past history too times a8 often as any one of them ever does him a personal injury by misstating facts, But it 15 not towards the newspaper men alone that the lack of tack is so evident in the surroundings of the white house. That remurkable lady who presides over the house- hold is usually regarded as one of the mest tasteful women in America; yot on several occasions she has demonstrated that she has some of the shortcomings in social matters of the most uncducated parvenu in the swim, Some time ago mention was made of the fact that some ladies c: Cleveland and that thei turned to them when that lady sent her ex- cuses. Nobody ever heard of cards having been returned before,und thut fact was tuken as an indication of a’ desire on the part of Mrs. Cleveland to place a personal slight upon her callers, although it is probable she had no such idea m view, us the ladies were entire strangers to her. But the want of tact was there, and whether it was due to the president, Mrs, Cleveland or to the ser- vants with whom he has surrounded himsetf, is a question which must be answered by othiers, Inany event there are around the white house a set of lackies, who are, to us a vulgar_expression, “t00 big for thef breeches.” Within the past six mouths 1 have heard of a dozen cases where ladies have called upon the president’s wife, often by invitation, who have been compelled to open their own carriage door, and further than this to turn the great bronze handle to the main door of the white house itself, and to hunt_around for the servant to whoin to deliver their cards, while that functionary satina cozy little retreat masticating to- bacco or pufting at a cigar which is about the only gratuity that these gentlemen receive, On one occasion Richard Manstield, the actor whose impersonation of Dr. Jeckyll and Mr. Hyde won him rounds of applause, was speciaily iuvited to call upon Mrs, Cleve- land. When he reached the white house he was compelled o find his own way in, and when he finally ran up against o stray ser- vant his wraps were taken from him and carelessly thrown down in some secluded nook in"the East room. He eventuaily found Mrs. Cleveland in her rooms, and af- ter spending a few minutes in pleasant con- versation with her, arose to take his leave, and was somewhat ‘astonished over the fact that “the first lady of the land” was com- pelled to show him the door nevself, because of the ubsence of the servants who shouid have beeu there. He found his way through the gloom of the main nner corvidor to the East room, and was there compelled to h for his wraps himself. s only a trivial incident, it is true,but occurred in the white Liouse before, and it is certain that no such thing would bave huppened in any of the legation build- ings or other houses where good breeding is always manifest. The fact is thut Grover Cleveland, president of the United States, has surrounded himself with a class of ser- vants, (or perhups in this republic they should be called employes). who are as surly and as churlish as he 18 himself, and the gen- eral public who are even on the visiting Ién. of Mrs. Cleveland are compelled to put uy with & great many aunoyances, because in 30ito of a1l that has' becn said. to the con- trary, there 1s such remarkable lack of tact in the household of the executive mansion. —————— to-day. - led on Mrs. cards were re convention NEWS FROM HAWKEYEDOM.
