We indorse the administration of President Cleveland. We invite the attention of electors to the hu- miliating record made by the Republican party i ecent restoration to power in this State. rol of all brauches of the State gov equipped with power to accomplish promised reforms, it has prodigally wasted the people’s money and forfeited public co- fidence by its defiance of the popular will and its soan- dalous disregard of the public weifare. The resolution adopted by the commit- tee on contested seats was as follows: Tammany Hall is entitled to recognition in all future conventions as regular, and its dele- gates are to be placed upon the preliminary and other rolls thereof, and in the appoints ment of inspectors of elections, the use of the party emblem and in every other way in which the question of party organization may arise ¢aid Temmeny Hall organization shall be rec- ognized and feased as the regular organization of the party in New York County; but in the interest of harmony at this time the committee recommends, subject to the aforesaid condi- tions, that the sitting delegates, as well as the delegates known &s the State Democracy, be admitted to the convention with one-fifth of a vote to each State Democracy delegate and four-fifths of a vote to each Tammany Hall delegate. The first ballot was to allow the contest- ants one-third representation. It was 22 to 27 against. Senator Hill voted inthe The next ballot was toallow It was carried by a vote of 32 Senator Hill voted in the affirma- to 17. tive. 1t was 9:45 o’clock before the Grace-Fair- child Democrats got together at their head- quarters. The following resolution was introduced by Everett P. Wheeler, and was unani- mously adopted: WHEREAR, The New York State Democracy, as organized in New York City, is composed of Democrats, and therefore opposed to the man- agement and methods of Tammany Hall or- ganization; and whereas, as such, in justice and in conformity to Democrati¢ prineiples, and to many precedents in previous years, the State Democracy is entitled to representation in the State c tion and in the State com- mittee; and whereas, the resolution adopted by the committee on contested seats gives neither, but in effect only allows a certain number of delegates from the State Democracy to sit by courtesy il this convention; Resolved, That we decline te accept the terms offered by said committee. Resolved, That we declare the terms on which alone we can sccept admission to the conven- fion must include recogn: of our right as an organization of loyal Democrats to be rep- resented in the councils of the party. At 11:26 the convention was called to order by Temporary Chairman Perry Bel- mont. The first business was the report of the committee on credentials. James D. Bell of Kings County presented the re- port of the committee on credentials. In the contests in Oswego and Queens County the committee reported in favor of the sitting delegates. This was adopted. He then reported the resolution adopted last hight by the committee, giving the New York State Democracy a one-fifth repre- sentation in the convention and for thi convention only, and declaring the Tam- vy delegates to be the only regular tes from New York County. Each egate, under the resolution, rehild delegate one-fifth vote. J. Patterson of Kings County nted the following resolution: Resolved, That upon the rolicall of this con- vention the names of both the sitting and the contesting delegation from New York County De called and that the sitting delegation be af- forded seventy votes, and the contesting dele- gation thirty-five votes in the convention, and that the sitting delegation select eight mem- bers of the State committee and the contesting delegation four members of the State commit- tee, subject, however, to the right of the organ- ization represented by the sitting delegation to use the party emblem for their local ticket in case of differences. ‘When Mr. Patterson had finished, James D.'Bell, chairman of the regular Democracy of Kings County and chairman of the committee on credentials, spoke against giving the one-third representation, and Senator Guy of the New York Tam- many delegation said for that organization that it was willing to bow to the will of the convention. “But,” he continued, ‘““we don’t say that we will go back to our constituents and say that we will be answerable for their action.” Jeers greeted this remark. Ex-Senator Grady followed Senator Guy, repeating almost word for word the argu- ment delivered by him before the commit- tee on contested seats last night. When Mr. Grady finished, at 12:25, the vote was taken on the Patterson amend- ment, placing the names of both delega- tions on the rolls. It was lost. Then the question of adopting the report of the com- mittee on credentials, giving the contest- dnts one-fifth representation, was put and earried by a large affirmative vote. piConfusion followed. Tammany men cheered, and cries of derision were heard from the spectators’ benches. Inthe midst of it all the Grace-Fairchild Democrats arose and marched out of the hall. Tam- many delegates jeered them, and the Shey- ard Democrats from Kings rose in their places and gave the retiring delegates three cheers. Chairman Belmont pounded on the desk with his gavel, but it was sev- eral minutes before business could go on. The report of the committee on perma- nent organization was presented. It named the Hon. Roswell P. Flower for per- manent chairman, and the usual list of vice-presidents, secmetaries and honorary secretaries. Ex-Governor Flower was loudly applauded when he appeared on the stage. He spoke at length. After the adoption of the platform the ticket was named. OAKLAND'S BIG CANAL Clear Right of Way to Be Sqcured Without Delay. ACTION AGAINST COHEN. Condemnatory Suit Will Be Pushed in the Supreme Court. CONGRESSMAN ENGLISH'S WORK Attorney-General Harmon Induced to Take Immediate Action in the Matter. WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 25.—Ex- Representative in Congress Warren Eng- lish of Oakland, Cal., was at the Depart- ment of Justice to-day and saw Attorney- General Harmon in relation to the prose- cution of condemnatory proceecings against A. A. Cohen, whose land is needed by the Government for right of way fora canal to connect San Leandro Bay and San Antonio estuary, Oakland harbor. Condemnatory proceedings were insti- tuted in California courts twelve years ago against Orooks et al. for right of way across their land, and the aggregate amount to be paid them was fixed at $40,000. All accepted this appraisement, with the ex- ception of Cohen, and his case, pending in the Supreme Court of California, to which it was appealed, has never been finally ad- judicated, the proceedings being allowed to lag, for some reason. To-day Mr. Enclish represented to At- torney-General Harmon that unless the Cohen case was settled, Colonel Mendell, a War Department engineer, would sooner or later be embarrassed and delayed in his engineering work, for the canal must cross Cohen’s property. He urged that the case be pushed te a final conclusion and that special counsel be employed to prosecute it. Attorney-General Harmon agreed to this and, on Mr. English’s recomni.enda- tion, promised to appoint Judge William Craig of the firm of Craig & Meredith, San Francisco, to push the case. The report of Colonel Mendell, filed at the War Department, concerning Oakland barbor improvement, reviews the work of last year and makes estimates for the en- suing year. The gross tonnage increase of traffic through the channel between jetties was 309,350 tons, a tritle more than last year. The increase of passenger traffic at Broaaway ferry is some 50,000 over last vear’s report and comprises 554,952 passen- gers. The operations of the year in field work under the charge of Assistant En- gineer Le Conte consisted in laying out and supervising the work of contractors, in making monthly surveys, in hydro- graphic surveys and in miscellaneous work. Following is the money statement: July 1, 1894, balance unexpended, $64,99565; amount appropriated, Augast, 1804, $100.- 000; June 30, 1895, amount expended dur- ing the year, $102,836 27; July 1, 1895, bal- ance unexpended, $62,159 38; outstanding liabilities, $951545; amount covered by uncompleted contracts, $39,104 89; amount required to complete existing project, $641,000: amount that can be profitably ex- pended for the fical year ending June 50, 1897, $300,000.

C., Sept. 25.—The case of the United States versus the Bell Telephone Company, involving the valid- ity of the Berliner patent, issued in 1892, as docketed in the Supreme Court to-day from the Court of Appeals for the First circnit. This is the case’brought by the United States to cancel the patent ¢ the ground (1) that its issue was void, the same claim having been covered by a patent issued ten years earlier,and (2) that the patentees had’ forfeited their rights to a patent by permitting itsapplication to sleep for many years. In the Circuit Court jnagment was given in favor of the United States, but this was reversed in the Court of Appeals and the patent sustained. The Govern- ment now ngzpenls from that judgment. Besides the question of the validity of the patent the case presents a legal Emp - sition of great importance, which the de- cision of the Supreme Court of the United States will settle, viz: Can the United States initiate proceedings to annul a patent? FEAT OF A BLOOMER GIRL Miss Annie Londonderry’s Tour of the World Awheel Completed. Arrived at Boston Fourteen Days Ahead of the Scheduled Time Allowance. BOSTON, Mass., Sept. 25.—Miss Annie Londonderry arrived in this city yesterday morning after a trip around the world on a bicycle. Miss Londonderry is nursing a broken arm, the result of a bad fall sus- tained in one of the Western towns. On June 26, 1894, Miss Londonderry started on her trip around the world. She was given a good send-off by several hun- dred friends, who were at the State House where the start was made. Her trip, she says, was made upon a wager. She was to receive $10,000 if she finished the journey in fifteen months, and she feels proud of the record she has made. On Thursday, September 12, the journey came to an end in Chicago, fourteen days ahead of the time allowed. In addition to the purse of $10,000, which, she says, was handed over to her by the parties making the wager, Miss London- derry also accumulated $5000 from lectures given in the several countries and also by participating in exhibitions of bicycle riding. Her experience in riding a bicycle was very limited, having taken her first lesson on the day she was to begin her'long jour- uey. She soon mastered the wheel, how- ever, and after a few days’ riding had very little trouble in getting over the roads. During all of her long trip Miss London- derry says she met witg a royal reception, particularly in Paris, where she was given a grand reception and also made consid- erable money by lecturing.

Lucid Explanation of the Work- ings of the Proposed System. ITS EFFECT IN NEW ZEALAND. Brought Prosperity While Depres- slon Overtook the Rest of the World. WILMINGTON, Der., Sept. 25.—Con- gressman J. G. Maguire of California made one of the best speeches of his life to an audience of over 3000 in a mammoth tent, on the subject of single tax. The cam- paign here had become so warm that the old political parties became alarmed and the city papers refused to print paid notices of the meetings. But the cam- paigners all went to work with dodgers announcing Maguire's appearance and the big tent was filled to the last foot of room. Local agitators bad held hundreds of meet- Hon. J. G. Maguire. (Reproduced from a photograph.] ings, and everybody understood that single tax would destroy the monopoly of land, but opponents of the system raised the cry that it meant robbery of land speculators and would be outrageously un- just. Mr. Maguire dealt with the charge of injustice and was loudly cheered as he quoted a decision of the Supreme Court that people had a right to destroy any monopoly by taxation and the State had the right to collect rent for access to land. The audience comprised many of Dela- ware’s politicians, business men and men of every class, An ovation was given Mr. Maguire at the ciose of his speech. Arrangements have been made to give Mr. Maguire a public dinner. He will speak to-morrow night at the same place. He says the success of the single-tax campaign is beyond his brightest expecta- tion. Four thousand converts have been made. He will speak every night till the November elections. Henry George, Dr. McGlynn, Johnson of Ohio and other leaders are coming, and Maguire will come back again. Money is coming in from all States to pay campaign expenses. Arrangements for Mr. Magunire’'s meet- ing to-morrow night have been made to seat at least 4000 people. At theconclusion of the speech to-nigat Maguire gave a graphic account of the effect of partial adoption of the single tax in New Zealand. Without changing municipal taxes and imposing only a colonial revenue burden on land speculators, enough monopolized land was thrown open to workmen that the only labor difficulty there was to find men to go to work. Thousands in Victoria and New South Wales were idle, and while depression and hunger troubled these colonies and the whole world in the hard times of last year, New Zealand, with land free, had more than enough work for her workers, and completely escaped the ter- rible depression that overtook the United States and every civilized community. With the single tax in this republic, said he, hard times would pass away as in New Zealand, and pass away forever. While in Wilmington Mr. Maguire is the guest of the Single-tax Club. He goes to Washington on Saturday, and will arrive in San Franoisco about the 10th of October. B OF INTEREST TO THE COAST. Additional Pensions Granted and Valu- able Patents Issuod. WASHINGTON, D.

He said: *I bad been for twenty years a fast man in New York City. I was=a Wall-street banker and the Yresident of one of the largest gteamship lines baving a terminus in New York. I wes a clubman and had no thonght of God except as a God of love. One day I was taken sick in the street and was carried home. Previous to that I had no conviction of sin, but at that time I be- gan to think of my condition. The holy 8pirit came to my rescue. Every sin I had ever committed was placed before me. I felt the devil pulling me down to perdi- tion. I cried Eiteously, ‘God, be merciful !’ I cried all night, and at morning I had a manifestation of God. God came to me and stood at my bedside and pointed up, and I saw glory. But before he did this he exacted a promise that I would lead a better life. The Lord treaied me and I was well. “I began toread the Bible and tried to be good. The demon appetite for liquor was upon me and three months afterward I took @ drink and for nine days I was on a spree. 1 was at home on a sofa thinking of my sin and praying to God to forgive me when 1 heard & voice say: ‘Marm, marm, come—I want you; you are dead; 1 will now make vou alive. “For three days I was out of this body and in the beyond unseen world. I talked with the powers of darkness, with the angels and with God. I saw something of what John Bunyan tells in his ‘Pilgrim’s Progress,’ something of what John tells in the ‘Book of Revelation.” 1 saw them with my own eyes. I know that heaven is real. I know that God is real. I know that Jesus Christ is real. I know that hell and hell fire are real. I would teil you the conversation I had with the devil and with the nngils, but the holy spirit is holding me back.” —— FOR A PRIZE-FIGHT LICENSE.

NEW YORK, N. Y., Sept. 25.—Con” Dailey, catcher of the Brooklyn team, is suffering at his home in Sheepshead Bay from injuries that will certainly prevent his appearance on the fleld again this season ard may permanently end his base- ball career. On Sund-z afternoon last “Con’’ was go- ing in bathing, off Callery’s dock at Sheepshead Bay, with a &arty of friends between 1 and 2 o’¢lock, when the tide had receded until there was not more than three feet of water at the end of the dock. “Con” ran to the end of the dock, and Klaciqg his hands above his head, lea;mf h into the air and dived headforemost into the shallow water. He landed all in a heap, but managed to nufgger to his feet, nis head all on one side. It was seen im- mediately that he was seriously injured and the whole party jumped into the water and carried him asnore to his room. Dr. McLain, the club physician, was hastily summoned, and after an examina- tion decided that serious injuries had been sustained by the cervical vertebra and pre- scribed perfect rest. He will not allow any one to see his patient. The injuries have produced paralysis of both arms, the trouble being in the brain and spine. “Con” has not been unconstious at any time, although his faculties have been de- cidedly dulled. Dr. McLain does not think that t{o paralysis will be permanent. Says That a Certain Day Was. WHEN HE HEARD OF PROF. HUDSON. Itls aGreat Trialand a Heavy Tribu- lation to Be Sick-~You Can Appre- clate Fully the Value of Good Health Then=-~Strong Testimony. HERE SEEMS TO BE NO DOUBT BUT that medical science is progressing the world over, and of course America is awa. the lead. And it may be remarked that Cali- fornia has been holding a foremost place for a very long time. It isin thisState that we boast of the grand old Huason Medical Institute, named after its most distinguished founder. This great institution has not relied so much on the discoveries that its many eminent speci- alists have made for its fame, as upon the mar- velous skill with which they seem to have and hoid the mastery over all curable dispases. And yet these discoveries have not beén few nor unimportant. It is only because of the way in which the grand successes in curing people have been known, that so little has been heard of their researches, for the cures have practically overshadowed @everything else, so remarkable have they been. Amongst them one of the most notable is that of A.W. Neale, a well known and highly respected resi- aentof Los Angeles. Mr. Neale has written to the Institute as follow Los ANGELES, Cal., April1, 1 HUDSON MEDICAL INTITUTE—Dear Sirs: der your treatment Tam completely restored to heaith, I never felt better in my life than I do now. Iam feeling splendid in every respect, and I cannot suficiently thank you for what you have done for mé. Your treatment has done all that you claimed it would do, and I Ble‘(; the day that I placed myself in your nds. 'l do pot know that I need further treatment, but that of course you will decide. Respect- A. W. NEALE. fully, P. §.—1 will willingly give my testimony to any one who desiras‘it. But there are many hundreds of other people who feel gratefully disposed toward thé physi- cians at the Institute, and daily their letters of praise and thanks pour into the offices of the management. We may quote & few clippings a€ examples of the way in which people usually speak of the Institute and the methods em- ployed there: G. H. Gray says: “Am very much obliged for ‘what you have done for me, and I shall always speak in the highest terms of your institution.” Aaam Nelson of Indian Diggings: “I have gradually improved till now I can safely say I have been entirely cured.” W. A. Russell of Machias, Wash., writes: “Please accept my heartfelt thanks. I feel grateful and happy over the change, for it has much to do with my domestic happiness.’” T. L. Graha “I am pleased to say that I do not require any more medicine. Iam & new man—something I never expected to be again.” L. M. Christie says: “I think it my duty to tell suffering humanity that if they will put themselves under your treatment they can get relief, and get cured, too.” F. F. Bartels of Oroville: “Iam altogether a new man to what I was when I commenced taking your medicines.” fou can never be certain that your case can- not be cured until you have been examined by the wonderful physicians at this great Insti- tute, They cute ali ctirable diseases,and the few short excerpts from what thousands of people are saying every week can give you but & very faint idea as to how much good is being done regularly. It is certain that aslongas there is life there is hope for you. Either call in person or write.
