They Will Come to Omaha, Wasnixgroy, D, C., June 25.—The execu- tive committee of the Bimotallist league wus in session and resolved that, baving failed at Minneapolis and Chicago to secure an explicit declaration in favor of free bi- metallic colns, they recommead that several men go to Umaha and urge the adoption there of such a platform, aud the nomination of such candidates as the silver men can support. wE What the Papers are Saying in Advance of the Conventi Puiladelphia Rac (aem.): The toy pistol is a reminder that the Fourth of Jaly and the allisuco convention are coming along. Kunsas City Journal (rep.): Judge Gres- ham will not accept the third party nowmina- tion for presidert, if 1t 1s offered him. Judge Gresham is still in full possession of his in- tellectual faculties and his customary mental Vvigor. Denver News (anti-Cleveland dem.): Gresham will accent the nommnation, the lubor orgamzations will easily raise the necessary funds to carry on the campalgn. Labor unions of New Yori citv would co tribute half the fund if necessary. Denver Republican: No matter who may be selected by the Omaba couvention as the third party candidate for president, he will not carry a sTUgie northern state, and even if he should carry every state in the south it will have no effect on the presidential elec- tion. Mr. Harrison will have a majority in the electoral collego, and his second term will be more beneficial to the country than his first. Minueapolis Journal (rep.): Judge am's very decided denial of ang disposition 10 monkey with the people’s party buzz saw, on his part, was what was expected. The people’s party demagogues would be im- mensely pleased to take the judge iu their net, but Judge Gresham isn’t buiit that way. Hebas a sound judicial mind in asound boay, and he has no sympathy for the crank- ism iu any of its manifoid forms. Chicago Herald (dem): Should people’s’ or farmers; alliance party now avout to assemble in convention at Omahn nominate such a man as Walter Q. Gresham as a canditato for the presidency’ and adopt a rational piatform, some interesting results might bo looked for. Gresham would be an oxceptionally strong candidate, who in_spite of platform vagaries would certainly win some eloctoral votes, enough douvtiess to defeat boti Cleveland ana larrison in the electoral colleges. Neither of these protas gonists has any eiectoral votes to spare,and a few gained from each would throw the election into the house of representatives, Once there, Harrison, of course, would stand no show, but Gresham might. Of the forty- four states represented by congressional 1t the delegations, the democrats have thirty, tne republicans ten, and the farmers alliance four. But the farmers alliance is vei strong in a largn number of the democrati states, as it is also in certain of the repub- lican state: Chicago Trioune (ren.): The neople's party hold their nationat convention 1 Omaha in o few days and the leaders are boasting loudly of what they are going to do and how they will cut and slash the wwo old parties to pieces. The southern alliance mon say that nearly ail the negroes are with them and if protected at the polis by the alliance white men the biacks will poil 1,000,000 votes fox the people’s ticket and carry ' eizht or ten southiern states for its presidential candidate. ‘Thero 15 10 sort of doubt that if the alliance whites proffored protection to the colored brethren uud saw 1o it that their votes were counted they could poll for the ticket a vust colored voto in the south, enough to break up its solidity. They could easily win halfl the clectoral votes of the south for their residential condidate. It wouid make things lively down in Dixie if the alliance whites concluded to- play that gawe, They would knock out the supporters of the Wail street candidate as easily a5 the anti-lottery democrats in Louisiana, by tne aid of the colored voie, laid out cold the lottery dem- ocrats, Salt Lako Tribune (rep): There is & strong disposition on the part of a lot of lubor organizatious and dissatisfied men geu erally to nomiuate Walter Q. Gresham for presigent of the Unitea States. Whether he will accept or not is the question, He bas bad a presidential bee in bis bonnet a good while. He does not like President Harrison over much, Heis auv ewinent judge and an honest man, The probability is if he were to run ho would draw many republican votes away from Prosident Harrison and would succeed in electing Mr. Cleveland. Fle can- ot possibly imagive that Le, as & third party caudiilate, could obtan & wajority of the electoral votes, 1f ke runs, it will ba for the purpose of defeating the republican party. The questiou is: Will he do it If ho does, it will bo with the idea that by de- feating the republicaus this year bis third party movement will gaiu strongth enough 10 do what the republicans did in 1860—tri- umphantly elect a candidute, But he is shrowd enough to know that with the repub- lican party toru Lo pieces by bis candidacy, and with the election of Mr. Cleveland, the probabilities would be strong that the demo- crats would hold power for & great many years to come, e Terribly Burned ut Noweastle, WCASTLE, Wy0., June 25, — [Spolal Telo- gram to Tue Bee |~Gertle Monros, while dressing touight, had her dress ignited by a watch, Before the flames were extinguished sho was biistered from bead to foot.

MAVE NUMEROUS CANDIDATES mists Are Not Looking for Pres- idential Timber, MANY ANXIOUS FOR THE NOMINATION Prohibi All Is Not Pleasant Among the Delegntes Assembled at Cinclonati—Indiana Ste- publicans Meet in State Convention —Various Political Pointers, Cixcrsxaty, O., June 23, —All the neces- sary preparations have been made and at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning the sixth annual couvention of the prohibition party will be- gin its session in the big Musie hall in which Hancock was nominated. The convention, unless an effort, not now very promising, to patch differences and agree on a new man shall bs successful, will have a fight on hand for the honor of being the presi- dential nominee of the party, astate of things which isa novelty to the cold water advo- cates. The fight is throwing an air of a real political convention over the proceedinas and what, with lithographs and badges ot the two rival candidates, campaign head- quarters, charzes and counter charges aad vight conferences, an outsider may siatoh something of the spirit which pervades more important political conventions, Leadlug Candidates. General Bidwell of California and Mr, W. Jonnings Demorest of New York are the leading competitors for the nomination and their supporters are becoming excited over the matter. Mr. Bascom, & well known business man of Troy, N. Y., is the ebony equine most mentioned as the best nomineo in the event of both Biawell and Demorest being ruled off. Whilo talk of a compromise is heard, neither General Bidwell's nor Mr. Demorest's friends look on it with favor, and many aele- gates think the matter has gone so far that it must be fought ont. General Bid- well's friends claim his election on the first baliot and ridicule the Demorest claims as basoless, General Bidwell has strong east- ern supportersin New York and Pennsyl- vania, most of the leaders are for him. and ex-Governor St. John, who could probably get the nomination if he would take 1t, is working hard for Bidwell and will place him 0 nomination. Chairnian Dickie of the na- tional committee, Miss Willard, Mrs. Gongar, A. A. Stevens of Peonsylvania, Dr. Funk and others, are supporting Bidwell also. Demorest's Strength, The Demorest supnorters arrived in larger numbers today and it is evident that he has a considerable following, though haudi- capped by lack of support 1 his own state. Heis exnected to stand well in the south, and perhaps in some of the \western states. Colonel R. S. Chevis, Rev. Sam Small, Prof. irandison of Norih Carolina, John Lloyd Thomas, secretary of the national committeo, and Heary B. Hudson, of the “Blue and the Gray,” aro his principal advocates. The first three named will, it is understood, mako the nomination and secondiug speeches for Demorest. Gidoon T. Stewart of Ohio, will probably be put in nomination and the prohibition presidental nomination being itsell largely of a complimentary nature, there is no teli- ing how many persons will receive informal ballots. "Tonight caucuses of the two leaders wore hela to arrange for the proper conduct of the two booms. ‘The Damoreat men are making much of tho strong sentiment against fusion with the people’s party, and one charge they malko against Bidwell is that heis inclined to withdraw if Weaver is nom- inutea. They have out lithographs of Dem- ovest, inscribed: *+No Compromises. No Fusion. No Doals.” Tho Biawell men retort that the Demorest camraign largely rests on financial contributions, The prohi- bition newspaper organs are coming in for a share of denunciation and the Domorest fol lowers and some others assail it vehomently and chargo that Demorest’s lack of support in New Youk stato is due to machine meth- ods to which the Voice is & party. Opposed to Fasion, The opposition to fusion with the people’s party is very marked, and Miss Willard was tonight apparently alinost alone in advocacy of it. The leaders of both the Bidwell ana Demorest factions, at least on tno surface, seem uuited in_antagonism to this propos- ition. The people’s party is not condemned, but the disposition is strong in favor of the prohibitionists keepng up their own_organ- ization and presidential candidates in this campaign, at least, and their feeling will find an expression in ‘the platform if the more radical have their way. Ex-Goveruor Johin P. St. Jonn of Kansas, not so long ago a presidential nominee him- self on the prohibition ticket, will e in the chsir tomorrow at the first, session of the couvention that is to chose the party’s na- tional candidates for 1892, That was settlea oefore the sdjournment of an important meeting of tho prohibition national com- mittee A. I. Wolfenbarger of Nebraska will be the secretary of the convention. The choice of a Nebraskan for the honor was revarded as au olive brauch to the people’s party, om- phasizivg the wtention of the prohibitionists tout least belp in wresting Nebraska, this year if possible, from tho grasp of tne two older parties—this, too, whether a fusion of the people’s party sud the probibitionists be attempted or not. A. A. Stevens of Pennsylvania or r’rof, Dickie will probably be permauent chair- man. A. E. Wilson of llinois, J. A. Tate of Ten- nessce and E. [ Stevens, the base bal! edi- tor of tho Hoston Herald, were chosen for assistant secretaries, and B, T Chafin of Wisconsin for sergeant at-arms at the na- tional committee meetiug. e of Personalities. There was & lively exchange of person- alities at the committee meeting over the adoption of the treasurer's report. Sam Swall said ceriain names occurred too often as having been employed by Chairman Dickie for prouibition work. Ho charac- terized them as “‘hangers on,” without other means of support, and asserted that their employment was iu violation of the spirit of u resolution offered by him sud adopted in Pictsburg. B. T. Chafin of Wisconsin scoved Rev. Mr. Small, ana minewg 1o words smd that gen- tleman’s resolution was *'an 1diotic perform- ance.” After the resolution had been adopted without division Chairman Dickie spoke, de- claring the resolution had not been violuted, as 1t was understood when passed, and spoke of the resolution as a *tomfool one.” Mr. Small, in & personal explanation, got an opoortunity to reply and sailed wnto Mr, Dickie for a fows minutes, Waiter Hill of Georgia, Joshua Levering of Maryland, Colonel Bain of Kentucky, Jonn W. Russell of Detroit and A. A. Stovens of Peunnsylvania havo been suggested as good vice presidential timbe Miss Willard's Idea, Miss Frances Willurd’s idea is that the ohibition party organization sbould, how- in any event, remain intact, and the campaign be fougliton probibition lines, while the people's party organization should con- duct the battle” from their side on the industrial 1ssues, the common cud in view making both orgunizations harmonious. Miss Willard admitted good bumoredly thut the plan had aiveady met vibleat opposition and was likely 10 encounter more, wilh scant eu- couragement #s Lo ultimate sucoess Sho said, with a tinge of sarcasm, that she nad already been assailed as a *prohibition mugwump. Miss Willard intimated that sbo was rather proud than otherwise of the epithet, and sbe would not be stoppel by such method: One iucident of the day showed that prohibitionists are politician pledges Like otber politicia thelr votes, Mrs, the aod want before giving vugar seut o telegram asking General Blawallif- ho would with- draw in favor of Weaver, the people’s party man. Tho roply recoived today said: “Not unless so instructed by Chairman Dickie, Mr, St. John, Dr. Funk, Miss Willard and yourself."” This answer was satisfactory, as the two first named are especiully hostile to fusion, but straightway a resolution, to makea with- drawal impossible, will be proposed, giving the national commities authority to fill vacancy on the ticket caused by death, resig- nation or other cause, Helen Gougar Talks. The anti-fusion sentiment is very strong. Mrs. Gougar said: ‘“‘Fusion with the peo- ple’'s party would be fully @s unwise as fusion with either of tho two old parties. The people’s party is on record as a whisky party quite as much as the democrats or re- publicans. Even 1f the peopic's party adopted probibition and woman suffrage, 1t would be unwise, for their financial policy would drive level headed financiers from our ranks, Their intetest in the ‘subtreasury’ schemo would close nearly every coliogo 11 the country and tha collego is a large part of our strength, Ob, yes, we are just like the republicans and democrats on silvor—no ono can tell how one is on silver becauso he or she 1s in tha prohibition party.” Rev. Sam Smail is urging Walter B. Hill of Georgia as a vics presidential cendidate, ‘“with whom to meet tho psople's party, which will uomirate Tom Watson for vice president, on their own dung biil.” Mr. Hill Is vice president of the American Bar as- sociation, an able Iswyer and spoaker, and was formerly a democrat. orgin, Mr, Small says, wants neither Bidwell nor Dom- orest, but i for the latier as aeainst the formor. The prohibition party, ho says, will not be bossed any more than the old parties, und he doesn’t care if Demorest has not his own state, as it is a factional affair. The Maryland delegation has a vice president in Josianh Levering and a half dozen other states also have men for the place, Drew the Color Line, The color line has been the cause of con- siderable excitement. Rev. C. M. Grandi- resideit of Benuett college, . C., is one of a duzen or more colored members of the convention who huve been sent here from various southern states. He is a man of burly, tigure and a thorough believer in muscular Christianity. At the Gibson house ho hed no more difficulty in registering than the white delegates from his state, but when it came to getting meals he was refused attendance \luless he retired from a room separated from the main dining hall. This alternative be resolutely declined, and he was left without food for an hour until practically all the other guests naa vacated the place, The chairman ol the North Carolina delegation declared that if necessary the members, about twenty in number and all Caucasians except Grandi- son, would remove to sqme other hotel. . The Virginia, Georgia ln% other colored dele- gates avoided troubie by separating from the whites on arrival at the station aud roing to boarding houses of which the proprietors were colored people.

Vest's Remarks on the Tarlil, During Mr, Vest's speech on the McKinloy bill he alluded to the existing labor troudles at Carnegie’'s Homestead Iron works, near Piutsburg. And yet, he said, that gentle- mau (Carnegic) had telegraptied from his castle in Scotland congratulations to Presi- dent Harrison on nis renomination; had ar- raved his polico and armed and equipped them to put down his own laorers and workmen and had sur rounded bis establishment with an eleven foot, wall. For what purposesi io protect himself against the veople of the United States under this iniquitous systom, and now the newspapers of the country (Vest said) were full of rumors of war be- tween Carnegie’'s company and its own la- borers, “the recipients of bounty of which the senator from Maine had spoken so eloguently today.” No wonder Mr. Carnegle had congratulated President Harrison on his repomination. He was the racipieat of tho benefits of that system. He was glad that the republican party had placed at the hoad of its national committee ‘‘another of the same brood of politiciune.” “I kuow,” continued Vest, “he is the man who aavised Armour to defy the senate of the United Siates and refuse to ovey its subpaenas, This man is nothing but & tool of mouopoly. He was the ablest and most pliant instrument in the hands of Armour and bis company in orderto rob the reople, and espocially the oattle raisers of the west. Of course, he is at the head of the republican national committee. He is the sort of a man 10 do the work. Why should he not be there! Armour’s money und his talent and monopoly agaiust the American people and the con- sumers of tho country. We accept the issue, aud, God willing, we will_stand by it until not’ one solitary democrat throughout the country caa ve found who will not admit that this is the great issue, the overwhelm- mgone now to be determined by the suf- frages of the people next Noyember.

Mr. Hale—The greatest of all trusts, the Standard Oil company, 18 tho iaterest that controlied the Chicago convention. Mr. Vest—I asked the senator catogoric- ally whether he charges that Mr. Whitney nas uny connection whatover with the Standerd Oil company. Mr. Huale—I do not make any charge against Mr. Whitney. Mr. Vest—Then 1t is utterly untair and unparhamentary to make any insiuuation in which a senator is unwilling to put in so many words. I denyit. I deny it, on Mr. Whitney's own statément.

Details, which came by way of Gaguaron, are mea- ger, but enough s knowa to make it cortain that tho fighting was terrific_and that the loss of life was very beavy. Many of the buildings in Porto Allegro were badly dam- aged and shipping in the harbor was do- stroyed, e city was mot captured, however, as was at first reported. The foderal artillery made so vigorous a detense of the city that the gunboat was forced to withdraw and leave the town in the possession of th revolutionists, Their success in driving away the gunboat, which was expected to destroy the town or to force the federals to surrender, has greatly incensed the govern meat of Brazil. Captain Candido des Santos Lara, who commands the Marajo, is severely criticized by the authorities for failing to take the city. It s declared that his retreat was pot justified, and that only cowardice or sympsthy with the rebeis prevented him from being successful 1 the attack. A council of war has been called 1o try Captain Lara for sedition, General Suvares intends to attack Porto Allegre ns soon as possible, aud is assem- bling troops for that purpose.

FOSTER 10 SUCCEED BLAINE He Will be Appointad for the Remainder of the Term. TRACY WAS BOOKED FOR THE POSITION ro Deliberation the President At the Seeretary of th Not be Convenlontly Sp from Thut De Dectded T Could artm Wasnixgrox Ben 513 Founree } Wasmxaroy, D, C,, At the meoting of the cabinet today the princival topie of diseission was the vacant socretaryship of state. It is understood that various gentiemen whose namos have been propounded to the presidont for the position were canvussed in theie various attitudes and the feasibility of promoting to the posis tion Genoeral Tracy, secrotary of the navy, or appointing General John W. Foster, formerly of Indiaua but for many yoars of this oity, was talked over. It {s stated upon the authority of a cabinet oficer that the presi- dent nas concluded to make an appointment with a view to compioting only the re- mainder of Secretary Blaine's unfin- ished term, and with a view to the appointment of another man to the position on tha 4th of March next. Lhis, it is stated, probably indicates the appointment of General koster, Tho president has been inclined for several days to transfer to the vacant porifolio Sece retary Tracy, he having cistinguished bime self in diplomatio affairs during the recent controversy with Chili, and being a trainea lawyer and trivd executive oficer, but the president would in that event be called upon immediately to ill & vacaney in the Navy de- partment, and he dosires to rid himself of filling oftices by making thoone appointment, Geueral Foster's Activity, The only obstacle in the way of the ap- pointment” of General Foster to fill out the unexpived term has boen and is now the general's counection with the department as its diplomatic attorney. Geueral Loster has quite as much of the department’s pusi- ness upon his hands as he can complote dur- ing the next nine months and the president has feared that to make him secretary of state would impair bis servicos in Lis pres. ent capacity. On the other hand tho presi dent desires in the new secretary of state & man who is well versed in the Bering sea controversy, as the point at which these complicated disputes are to be entrusted to arbitration is near at hand and & high order of skill in diplomacy is demanded as well as familiarity with all tue details of the ques- tious fnvolved. 1t bas about beon decided that Goneral Foster could assume geverel suporvision of this work and other uncompleted affuirs pending before the department aud at the mo time take absolute control of the aotails without serious imvairment of any of the governments' interests and that altogether the affairs of the department would be better subserved by his promotion than should one un familiar with the work be selected secro- l of state. It is not therefore likely that ocretary ‘[racy wili bo transfercod to the Department_of state, but altogether prob- able tat General Foster will assumo the duties of tho vacant portfolio. Nebraski and the Independents, This evening's Washington Star has this: “Edtor Rosowater of I'ng Omana Bee is in the city and was at the capitol today. **The third party in Nebraska,’ sald Mr. Rosewater, ‘is ratiier a formidable organiza- uon, It is compact and under thorough con- trol. Its force has lessened somewhat dur- ing the past year, but it is almost certain that at the next eloction the so-called inde- peudents will cast between 40,000 and 50,000 votes. Noxt week the ropresentatives of those discontented people will hold their convention in Omalu and the great ques- tion to be settled there will be that of fusion, If they decide on joining hands with the democrats the republican party in Nebraska will bave to do lots of work bofore clection day. Of course, we do not think it will be possible for the third party managers to make mon who were for yoars ropublic- ans vote the democratio ticket, but the probaoilities that some such thing may occur will have to bo met ih the most effective fushion. 1 zm con that when the old republicans who huvé#wandered into the new party see that they aré being used to rake the chestnuts out of the fire they will come right out aud vote just as they used to aud as they should do."” He Denounced There was a fierce di Army Nurses, uocratic onslaught in the house today upon the presout republican ponsion systom.
