Over the stage were the words from proverbs of Solomon: “When the Wicked Beareth Rule the Po and this from the Psalm of David: Way of the Wickea He Turncth Upside Down.” Over the center aislo hung tuis warning: The St 1 Center is Moving Eastward.” From the eastern gallory, “The Country s Shermanized!!

Two additional mottoes were suspended from the walls—one of them reading as fol- lows: 3,000 millionaires, 5,000,000 tramps, 10,000 mortgages; American civilization nit teenth century.” The other bore the pro- phesy, “The plutocrats must either be downed or erowned.” A long, lank, sunburned delegate vigor- ously objected to this seutiment. He thought the d—nd crowd were already erowned, und should bo uncrowned at once either by bal- lots or bullets, A motion to refor all resolutions to the com- mittee on resolutions was met with the ory of g rule, but after being amended on the suggestion of Genoral Weaver by adding “on being read,” was adopted.

Cdoper of Winnebago, Mackenzie of Ha son aud other speakers made short addresses. A recess was taken till 2 p. m. to enable the committees to do theirwork. When the convention reassembled delegates indulged in some vocal music, songs “America” and “Goodbye Old Party, Goodbye,” were sung, after which Hon. J. I, Willetis of Kansas, national lecturer of the southern alliance and ex-candidate for gov- ernor, was introduced, He said he came to this convention to et his spiritual strength rencwed. He told how he had carried the banner in the Kansas campaign, and **kopt in the middie of tho road” und how he_was finally crucifiea between two thieves. |Groat apolause, | He said the boys were begiuning to find out who was keeping house in this country, and predicted that covporations, syndicates and trusts would be dethronea in the near future. Compa; the producers to dou- keys, e thought the donlkoys in the plains of South Awerica exhibited greater intelligence than the farmers of this country. He closed his remarks with the significaut threat that he wished to give notice to the party bosses that unless this movemeut remedied exisiting evils, that a machine would be constructed thut would afford adequate relief. Cries for Van Wyck followed from all parts of the house, and that gontleman finally made his appearaiice und was received with tuul- tuous applause, the eatire audience rising 0 its feet, whilo cheer after cheer it the air.

Sir Charles Russell, leading counsel for the defendant, commencod s address on behalf of his clients, Sir Charles said: “The brenos which had been drawn up in regard to the baccarat scandal said that the plaiotiff should be watched. Beyond the marked table, however, there was mno concert of action of any kind, but all who knew the story of the provious day's play and Sir William Gordon-Cumming repeated the actions compiained of." Renewea interost was shown upon the part of the always most attentive audience gath- ered in the court of queon's bench when Mr. Arthur Wilson, son of the millionaire owner of Tranbycroft and oneof the leading stock- holders of the well known Wilson line of steamers plying between Hull, London, New York and many other ports, entered the wit- ness box as tho first witness for the defouse. Mr. Wilson testified to the fact that on the first night of the baccarat playing at Tranby. croft—September S—he saw a red counto representing £5 on a piece of paper in front of Sir William Gordon-Cumming. When the latter’s tableau won Sir William had his hands in front of him and ho also had an- other £ counter in the palm of his right hand. The baronot, according to this wit- ness, looked at Sir Edward Somer’s hand and seeing that be had a “natural” and a court card, he (Sir Willism) at once droppea the £5 counter from his right hand and was paid on both of the counters he had thus placed on tho table. The evidence was given by Mr. Wilson without any hesitation and in a man- ner which seemed to impress the jury and which decidedly impressed the audiénco and caused o greau sensation in the court room. Continuing, Mr. Wilson said that he saw the same thing repeated by Sir William the same cvening and he then told Mr. Leavitt that the barouet was cheating at cards, Mr. Leavitt said that it was “impossible,’ that the witness must_bo wistaken, Mr. 'Wilson aaded that he then told Mr. Leavitt to wateh Siv William. M. Leavitt, said Mr. Wilson, followed his advice and he also saw the baronet cheating, as al- ready doscribed. Mr. Leavitt, upon vel convinced by personal observation what Mr. Wilson suid was true, exclaimed, *Ihis too hot.”” Mr. Wilson said that he saw William cheat again. Cumming had a counter on the table and if the card turned up was favorable to him he pushed a £2 counter forward with a vencil which ho held in his hand and was paid. The witness then detuiled the subsequent conversation which ho bad with-Me, Leavitt in the latter’s bed room, suying that when he told the latter of what he had seen Mr. Leavitt exclaimed: My God, to think of Lieutenant Colonel Sir William Cordou-Cumming being caught cneating at cards.” Contnuing the witness d: I asked whaton earth are wo to do!' o0 this Mr. Leavitt replied: “For goodness suke, dou't ask me. Ho is in my own regi- ment and was my own captain, What am ['todo?” Later ou Mr. Wilson said, “I then told my mother of what I had done, und mothor said, ‘For goodness sako don't have a scandal here.” I then told her that I would have a proper table prepared for baccarat playing so that a ropetition of the conduct we had observed would be rendercd impossible.” Referring to a question on tho subject, young Mr. Wilson said that there was absolutely no agreement to watch Siv William play on” the sccond night—Septembver 9. The table used on that occasion wus a long pantry table cov- ered with green baize, _As upon the pre- vious night, the prince of Wales occupied the position of’ banicer and Genoral Owen Will: ams that as croupier. I'he witness believed that tho plaintiff again had a paper and some of his counters on_ the table. He had other counters in the breast pocket of his dress cout. 'The plaintiff, added the witness, had a long, thick carpentér's pencil in bis hand. In case, brecos | lost his this’ pencil_the word *Tranbycroft was stamped. Sir William staked & £5 counter and the princo of Wales gave cards to Lady Coventry, who took a seven, wh was cousidered o good card, from the plaintiff. According to the wit® ness, ho looked over Lady Coven- try's hand. The witness then saw Sir William go out and gradually advance toward the white line marked ot tho baccarat table. Continuing, Mr. Wilson said, amid such breathless sllence on the part of everyoue in the court room that iterally tho dropping of a pin would have been heard, that it then came around to the prince of Wales' turu to take a card and ho ook one and said, "I am baccarat,” the card being bad. Immediately upon hearing tuis, said the witness, Sir William pusned just over theline a £10 counter, four inches away from the original counter. The plaintiff’s leau won and the prince of Wale him a “fiver,” overlookiug the other counter which the plaiutiff had pushed over the line hereupon Sir William exclaimed, *Beg pardon, sir, there is another ‘tenner’ which you have forgotten.” T annoyed th brince of Wales, who smd: *I wish you would put your Stakes forward more Cou- spicuously,” paying the additional £10, Later in the game, said the witness, Sir William flipped another counter over the line with bis pencil. \When the disclosures were made the prince of Wales questioned the wituess, Mr. Berkloy Leavitt and Mr. Lycett Groen in regard to what thoy ad secn of a wrong uature dur ing the playing aud Mr. Green asked confronted with tho plaintiff. Repiving to further questions Mr. Greon said from the time the action brought for damages agaiust the defendunts wis commenced he had never suid a word in connection with the affair. Upon cross-examination the witness that he had no occupation and that he had been wt Cambridge university for a year, “but,” he added, “my fathor thought it only wwaste of ime my staying there.” Roars of laughter at Mr. Wilson's expense followed this admission. In answer to further ques. tious Mr. Wilson said that baccarat w played at’ Tranbycroft in 1839, “but futl objected to it aud it was not played there aguin until upon the occasion of the priv of Wales' visit in September, 1500, Sir Charles Russell in scathing terms do nounced Sir Gordon-Cumming for resting under such an odious imputation as this, adding: “It was sald that this was done in said thb prince of Wales, but & man of houor, if there wero Ity princes in the cuse, would uot have allowed his honor to be clouded for any such_considecation.

How the Judge Became the Implaca- Dble Enemy of Ingalls, Atcmisoy, Kun., June 8.—[Specal Telo gram to Tue Bre.]—The appointment by the president of Chief Justice Albert H. Horton of [Kansas to be one of the judges of the new Spanish and Mexican land grant c which, it is said, will be oficially announced from Washington in a few days, revives recollections of the Ingalls and Horton foud. It bas been published in Missouri Vallo papers that the hatred existing botween the two mon dates back onlyas far as 1870 when Horton was the caucus nominee opposed to Ingalls’ re-clection. People well posted in Kunsas political history recollect that the quarrel goes back to 1873 when Ingalls first became a senator. Horton had been United States aistrict attorney and was a warm friend of Senator Pomeroy, but he was ot unfriendly to lngalls, and when Ingalls came into power ho bocamo a_candidate ~ for district judge, He was confident that he would get the appointmeut and was vory much enagrined when it was given to C. Ioster, who is still judge. Krom that event cs the unfriendly fecling between the tw. men. Later on, in March, 187, after In galls’ memorable triumph, Ingalls’ widened the breach when he made his celobrated speech abusing his enemios, Hoston among them, from tho balcony of the old Otis hotel m Atchison. Prior to tho balcony speech the two men might have became roconeiled, vut Horton after that became ngalls’ impla- cable enemy, as Ingalls was Horton's. Full of Promise.
