The San Francisco Call. Newspaper, July 29, 1896, Page 2

2 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, JULY 29, 1896. was a determined effort on the part of the small minority against indorsing a Demo- cratic nominee for President. A full elec- toral ticket was named, with the full un- derstanding that if the Democrats would agree to pull off three Democratic electors the remaining Populist electors would be withdrawn, A.L Mimms was nominated for Gov- ernor on the State platform, condemning Democrats for seating Turney over H. Clay Evans last year. ol ke TR . WILL POOL THEIR SPEAKERS. Allied dilver Forces Wilt Hold Combina- tion Mass-Meetings. DENVER, Cor., July 28, —Leaving Kan- sas City yesterday morning at 10:556 I came through Northern Iowa and Colo- rado on the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific, making it a point to ascertain, in an unobtrusive way, the sentiments of people on the nominations made by the Populists at St. Louis. I have to relate two incredible things: First, that I found but one outspoken goldbug among the many travelers on the train; second, not one in ten made the remotest reference to the Vice-Presidential candidate. Great interest was shown in the fact that Bryan had been nominated by the Populists and I never heard a doubt expressed all day long as to bis election. Continuing my review of the events which made the second Populist Conven- tion just held at St. Lonis sigmficant and unique above any other National conven- tion yet held in this country, and which plainly indicates the inauguraiion of a new era in our political history, I draw attention now to the notable departure in campaign work made at the great Dem- ocratic ratification meeting on Saturday night at St. Louis, only a fex hours after the Populist Convention had nominated Bryan and adjourned. Note the signifi- cance of the fact that that meeting was called and presided over by the chairman of the Democratic National Committee, Senator Jones of Arkansas, it being the first formal ratification meeting he has at- tended. We now come to note the speak- ers selected by the chairman to address this chief Democratic ratification meeting, Kirst,we have an able and broadgaugead- dress by Chairman Jones, which was con- spicuously free from partisan spirit. Then came Bland, who spoke on Bland aud sil- ver. These are two great Democratic leaders. They were followed by Senator Allen, chairman of the Populist National Convention, which had just closed its| work and adjourned. He was introduced as a Populist by Chairman Jones, and made a Populist speech. He was followed by C. E. Towne of Minneapolis, vice-chair- man ot the Silver convention, a silver Re- publican. Then came Senator Stewart and Jerry Sfimpaon, noted as Populists, followed by ex-Governor Johnson, a lead- ing Democrat. So far as the chairman of the National Committee can set the pace and outlinoi the plan of campaign, there is to be an actual union of allied silver forces, and the platform is to be occupied at campaign meetings by speaxers of all the allied forces. It remains to be seen ii State Democratic managers are going to act in good faith toward these allies, as Chair- man Jones has so conspicuously done. Good faith and fraternal spirit in actual practice alone will make this a campaign of bonesty and faithful resalts. JosEPH ASBURY JOHNSON. Seiagion 3 WON'T TALK, SENATOR J Refuses to Divulge tne Contents of the St. ZLouis Zelegram From Bryan. ST. LOUIS, Mo., July 28.—Senator Jones of Arkansas returned here from his visit to Mr. Bryan at Lincoln last evening, and left on a late train for his home at Wash- ington, Ark. When asked about the au- thenticity of the telegram sent out by the Associated Press, purporting to have been sent to bim by Bryan to be red to the con- vention, he replie “I don’t know any- thing about it.” The printed telegram “was skown him, but he would not read it. The reporter then began to read the tele- gram to him. ““I never received that,” he interrupted, aiter a sentence or two had been read. © “Itis a stagger at it, but it is not the tele- gram.” ili you give out the real telegram?” “No, I haven’t that telegram to give you. You can find Mr. Bryan’s attitnde in his published interview of Saturday night. I have notbing more to give out,’” he said as he went to his sleeping-car. In consequence of Mr. Jones’ departure there will be no conference for some time between himself and the members of tne People’s party executive committee. S e SOUND-MONEY DEMOCEKATS. Preparing for an Active Campaign Against Altgeld in Illinois. CHICAGO, IrL., July 28.—A letter was received to-day at National Sound Money headquarters from Judge Allen Blacker of Ei Paso, Texas, in which he says: “I have made a thorough canvass of thts section of the Statc and am convinced that the active Democrats, as well as those who have convictions, are earnestly in favor of a third ticket and are willing to declare for it. I believe the sound money men of Texas in August next will select delegates to attend the National Conven- tion. ‘&mnng the masses are many changes from free silver to sound money.” L. M. Martin of Marshalltown, Iowa, telegraphed that he would organize the State for sound money in a few days. A meeting of the State committee will be held next Friday or S8aturday to decide the question of calling a State convention to put a ticket in the field against Altgeld. It is probable that State and county tick- ets will be named against the free-silver Democrats. ~ LG e DEMOCRATS DISAGREE. Controversy in Wisconsin Over the Dele- gation’s Action at Chicago. MILWAUKEE, Wis., July 28.—The sil- ver delegates fto the Democratic conven- tion yesterday afternoon gave out their address to the public, replying to the letter vublished by the gold delegates, headed by Vilas and Bragg. It is devoted mainly to answering the statements promulgated by the gold men, but goes to some extent into the merits of the silver question. The point is made that the silver delegates obeyed their instructions until the chair- man of the Wisconsin delegation refused to allow the vote of the State to be cast for any Presidential candidate, ana that they then obtained permission from the presiding officer of the convention to cast their votes. The letter is as follows: The Democratic party ever has and to the end of its existence ever will advocate honest money and oppose its debasement. Toassert that the Chicago convention declared in favor of compelling the citizens of the United States to receive dollars of only one-half value is a wicked slander. The Democratic National platiorm does not submit to the American peo- ple a new affd untried system of finance for doption. The great Hamilton and greater Jefferson framed the law at the time of the birtk of this Nation, which gave to both gold ana silver the right of free and unlimited coinage and made both these metals fundamental and redemp- ion money. The integrity of this American, this Democratic monetary system, was ralig- fously preserved by all American legislators from 1792 to 1873. In this latter year, when the attention of the American people was di- verted from the subject, dishonest legislators surreptitiously demonetized silver—the peo- vle’s money. The great American Nation, without its knowledge or ‘consent, had its monetary svstem changed from bimetaliism to gold monometallism. The function of meas- uring values supporting commerce and credit imposed upon gold and silver was by the de- monetization of silver shifted to gold alane. The importance of gold was increased twofold, as the demands upon it were doubled, and as a result all commodities of the world declined in value as expressed in golden dollars. The merchant who has had bankruptcy slowly but surely creep upon him in spite of his every effort and economy; the tiller of the s0il who has seen the products of hisfarm gradually reach a price below the cost of pro- duction, in spite of his ceaseless eare and toil; the man who depends upon his daily labor to furnish him necessaries of life and appeals in vain for the privilgge 10 do work—all ask why, 1n a land of plenty, in a nation peopled with willing workmen, in & country of limitless re- sources, why is there widespread business dis- gster and cruel want? History records prosperity from the birthday of America to 1873 under s bimetallic system of finance. A silver dollar at all times during | that period equaled and in fact exceeded & gold dollar in value. The day Congress by law closed the doors of our mints onsilver and said thereafter gold shall measure the value of all things, even silver, then it was that gold grew dear and silver cheap, and as silver de- preciated so has the price of alt commodities fallen as measured in gold until ruin stares great and free America in the face. The Demo- cratic National Convention, in response to the call for help from the people, has promised to reinstate the money of tne constitution and thereby lift the golden yoke from America’s neck. In conclusion the Democrats of the State are urged to get together and see to it that silver men are sent to the State Convention. i s POPULISTS DISSATISFIED. They Do Not Want to Indorse the Entire Itlinois Democratic Ticket. CHICAGO, ILn., July 28.—Before leay- ing this city to-day fox Springfield Gov- ernor Altgeld talked about the reports that the Populists, in State convention, in- tended to nominate the Democratic State ticket, minus Mr. Trude, nominee for At- torney-General, whom the Populists do not seem to favor. The Governor said he would under no circumstances accept an indorsement or nomination from the Pop- ulists unless the whole ticket was in- cluded. Dr. Tayior, chairman of the Pop- ulist Cook County Committee, said there would be Zfasion if the Populists were recognized properly. KENIUCKY GOLn Sk DEMOCRATS. | They A-e Prepaving for a Third Party Convention This Month. LOTISVILLE, Ky, July 28.—Repre- sentative gold Democrats of the State met here to-day and effected an organization. The meeting was largely attended and much interest manifested. The action of the sound-money men at Chicago was rati- fied and the platform of the Chicago Democratic Convention was roundly de- nounced. It was decided to hold a State convention in Louisville on Thursday, August 20, for the Purmu of selecting delegates to the National convention and Presidential electors. PR Y Farmers Who Want Free Silver. CHICAGO, Iin., July 28.—A Terra Haute (Ind.) special says: The first real free silver demonstration took place yes- terday, when twenty-four wagons loaded with corn for a hominy mill wheeled through the city, making a parade several blocks in length. On the sides of ever: wagon were signs like these: “For Bryan,” “We're all for free silver,” “Give us free silver and we’ll get 50 cents for corn and $1 for wheat.”” Mr. Blocksom, who owns the farm on which the g{nin ‘was raised, is a free-silver man. any Republican farmers are for Bryan.

A Prominent Nebraskan Says That Bryan Will Be Unable to Carry His State. ‘WASHINGTON, D. C., July 28.—The National Silver party has established its headquarters in the Corcoran building, Washington. George P. Keeney of- Cali- fornia, an organizer for the Silver party and an attendant upon the St. Louis con- vention, 18 now en route to this city and will assume charge of affairs when he ar- rives. Itis the intention of the commit- tee to take an active part in the cam- paign by sending out literature and speak- ers. There is some talk of practically merging the Silver committee with the regular Democratic committee and using one as sn auxiliary to the other. This consolidation, however, cannot be ar- ranged until after the Democratic National Committee shall have held its forthcom- ing meeting here. The last named com- mittee will not be in operation for two weeks yet. Representative Smith of the Twentieth Lilinois District spent some timc to-day at Republican Congressional headquarters. He believes that public sentiment is rap- idly arifting in favor of the Republicans. The Republicans of his section have fallen into line and normal conditions now pre- vail. He feels sure that McKinley and the entire Republican ticket will be given its oldtime majority there. Mr. Smith has no fears for the State being led away by either Populism or Altgeldism. Vice-Chairman Apsley was at his desk after a brief trip to his home. He pro- nounces the statement that free-silver sen- timent is growing in Massachusetts to be nothing but rubbish and nonsense. The laboring classes of that State will have nothing to do with the heresy, and many of those now employed in factories, who | under ordinary circumstances vote the Democratic ticket, will this year be founa in the Republican ranks. The working- man above all things else desires to see the return to prosperity, full time, higher ‘wages and fair profits for his employer. W. ¥. Gurley, a prominent attorney and campaigner of Omaha, was among those who called on the Republican committee to-day. Heexpectstogo on the stumpand work for the success of the ticket chosen at St. Louis, and believes that with an active, thorough, carefully conducted cam- paign Nebraska will select Republican electors. g “In Nebraska, as much as any Western State,” said Mr. Gurley, “the silver ques- tion has been discussed in all its phases. The sentiment in favor of the free coinage has reached its climax and is on the wane. Bryan made his last campaign for Con- gress on ihe silver issue alone, and came 50 nearly being defeated that he refused to again be a candidate. In his campaign for United States Senator he stumped the State with Mr. Thurston, and both speak- ers paid especial attention to silver. Asa result of the canvassa pronounced Repub- lican Legislature waselected. 1 thinkthat is a good straw to indicate the direction of the wind. In that election Populists and Democrats combined in many districts upon legislative candidates, but notwith- standing that combine were unable to con- trol the Legislature.” et TAMMANY’S BAND SHOWN, New York and Brooklym Demoeratic Delegates Favor Bryan. NEW YORK, N. Y., July 28.—The ‘World to-morrow morning will say: The members of the Democratic State Com- mittee were interviewed by World re- porters yesterday on the politizal outlook in the State. They were especially asked if they favored the indorsement of the Chicago ticket and platform by the State Convention, which meets in Buifalo September 16. A poll of the committee resulted as follows: Members of committees, 50; in favor of indorsement 24, opposed to indorsement 4, non-committal 22. Many of the com- mitteemen from New York City and Brooklyn were among the non-committal. It is believed, however, that when the convention meets the delegates from New York and Kings counties will be solid for indorsement of the Chicago ticket. There are about eight members of the State Com- mittee opposed to indorsement, but not all of them wish to goon record at present. e e g REUNITED IN MICHIGAN, Warring Democratic Factions Decide to Work Together for Bryan. DETROIT, Mrcx., July 28.—Contrary to expectations the meeting of the Demo- cratic State Central Committee to-day ended harmoniously. The warnng gold and silver factions came together and will work for the election of the Chicago nom- inees. This result was brought about by the refusal of the committee to accept the resignation of-\Chairman Eiliott G. Stey- enson, who was the leader in the fight for gold in the State convention and at Chi- cago. After this action was taken Mr, Stevenson declared that the committee would open the campaign in Michigan at once, making silver the leading issue and fighting the battle out earnestly and hon- estly for Bryan and Sewall. —— WATSON'> BOLD FRONT. Will Make No Overtures for Democratic vt NEW YORK, N. Y., July 28.—The Her- ald publishes the following from Augusta, Ga.: Thomas E. Watson is disposed to puta bold face on the situation here and to see it out with an independent air. He gives the Democrats notice that if they do not want to vote for him for Vice-Presi- dent they need not swing on the Popu- lists’ gate. If they are ready for a fair division of the electors, so is he. If not, &e; two sets of electors will be in the gt Vermont’s Populist Ticket. MONTPELIER, Vr., July 28.—The Pop- ulist State Couvention to-day nominated a State ticket headed by Joseph P. Battle of Middlebury for Governor. The plat- form declares for free silver at 16to 1; in- dorses ‘the principles of the people’s platiorm as enunciated in the People’s party platform adopted in St. Louis.” TSR WILL SEWALL WITHDRAW? Populist and Democratic Committeemen Confer to That End. NEW YORK, N. Y., July 23.—A Times’ special from Topaka, Kans., says: - John A. Briedenthal, s member of the Populist executive committee, says that the Democratic and Populist committees will get together and arrange matters be- tween Sewall and Watson and that the former will withdraw and thus obviate all trouble in arranging electoral tickets. When Breidenthal was asked if he had assurances that Sewalt would withdraw, he refused to give a direct answer. He insisted, however, that there would be but one candidate for Vice-President at the polls. —_—_— GIANT POWDER EXPLOSION, Great Havoc Is Diysteriously Wrought at Fictor, Colo. VICTOR. Coro., July 28.—About 10 o'clock this morning an explosion of giant powder laid on the sidewalk in front of the Victor Hardware Comvpany’s store caused great damage to all property situated at the corner of Victor avenue and Third street. The Bank of Victor and the adjoining hardware store suffered heavy damage. The glass in the build- ngs adjoining the Victor Hardware Com- vany’'s property wis demolished and the fronts of several buildings were com- pletely blown out. How the powder ig- nited is a mystery, as there were no fires or combustible matter near it. The damage is estimated at $5000. Seven per- sons were slightly injured, while Michael Ryan will probably lose the sight of both of his eyes. s AR SPLAN'S OLOSE CALL. The Noted Horseman Twice Stabbed by a charged Employe. CLEVELAND, Osro, July 29.—John Splan, the noted horseman, had a narrow escape for his life to-day at his home in Glenville., Oliver Russell, a young man who has been doing odd jobs for Splan, was discharged for using abusive language to Mrs. Splan, and when Splan went into the house to get the money to pay Rus- sell the latter drew a knife and plunged it into Splan's back. Splan turned and grap- pled Russell, but was again stabbed in the right arm. Splan managed to get hold of a heavy whip and knocked down his assail- ant. Splan’s wounds, while serious, are not fatal. Russeil was locked up. PETTY STRIFE. N HAWAI Frivolous Charges Are Preferred Against Captain Good by His Colonel. The Captain Will Likely Be Found Guilty, but the Pablic Is With Him. HONOLULU, Hawar, July 2L.—The arrest of Captain John Good on the 13th inst., which at the time caused consider- able surorise, but was thought to be of little importance, has dcveloged the fact that more or less friction has oceurred in the military gervice since the Government, rather hastily, it is thought, imported Colonel McLean, late of the United States naval service, to take command of the forces here. Colonel McLean has been in the country only a few months, during which time, it is alleged, he has been his own worst enemy and has made few friends. McLean was imported from the United States on the recommendation of ex- Minister Thurston shortly after the last revolution to unseat the republic. He arrived, it is charged, with prejudices against Captain Good, and the present court-martial trial 1s the first overt effort to force Captain Good out of the service. This statement comes from officers high in the service who helped establish the republic side by side with the arrested captain, Three charges are entered against Cap- tain Good, all of which ere considzred to be more or less frivolous by military men. It is quite likely the court will be obliged to find the captain guilty, as the charges mentioned can be proved. In speaking of the trial, which begins to-night, one of the court otficials said this morning: “That is just it. We will likely have to convict the captain under military rules of saying trat if the Government reduced salaries i the army they should get less work; that he (Uaptain Good) did not want any more d— — sailor driil, ete. But what then? We simply corvict him for telling the trutk, and must siso find that Captain Good, if guilty of indiscretion, bas done nothing to warrant nis dis- missal from the service. It is unfortu- pate that Colonel McLean, a comparative siranger, should carry personal.spite so far as to embroil {he entire military.” This statement represents the general feeling ontside of perbaps Colonel Me- Lean and a local newspaper, to which, it is publicly charged, the colonel has fur- nished some very queer statements of the origin and progress of the disagreement. Captain Good is well known here, ana it will be hard to influence the public against him, no matter what action is taken by Colonel McLean or what result is reached by the pending court-martial. At RoAC T XARDE-BULLEER DIVOECE CASE, Defendant Testifies as to Her Husband's Rrutal Conduct. LONDON, Exg., July 28.—The Yarde- Baller divorce case, in which the respond- ent is the daughter of the late General Kirkham of San Francisco, was continued in the divorce division of the High Court of Justice to-day. Mrs. Yarde-Buller took the stand In her own defense. She testi- fied to being struck by her husband. He had also pulied her hair and kicked her. Regarding Valentine Gadesden, whom Mr. Yarde-Buller charges was criminally mti- mate with his wife, the respondent testified that be came here from San Francisce for the purpose of attending to her affairs and rotecting her from her husband’s vio- ence. She emphatically denied the charge that she had been unduly intimate with Gadesden. RIS R RE-ENFORCEMENTS NEEDED., But Sir Frederick Carrington Says He Cannot Feed Them. LONDON, Ex6., July 28.—In the House of Commons to-day Joseph Chamberlain read a telegram sent to the Colonial Office in reply to the Government's message offering to send more troops to aid the British force employed 1n suppressing the Matabele revolt. The message was signed by 8ir Frederick Carrington, in command of the forces in Rhodesis. He says that he was undoubtedly hampered by want of ‘men, but il more were sent he could not feed them, owing to the difficulty of trans- porting provisions due to the rinderpest and the nature of the country. e Crop Failure in South Russia.

WILL FIGHT THE SALOON Hard Times in the United States Charged to the Liquor Traffic. SILVER QUESTION DISCUSSED. Import Duties Compared to the Esti. mated Amount Spent Yearly for Stimulan's BALTIMORE, Mp., July 28.—At the Lyceum Theater to-night the Prohibtion party, through Rev. O. W. Stewart. chair- man of the notification committee, ap- prised Joshua Levering of his nomination as candidate of the Prohibition party for President. Mr. Stewart, in his notifica- tion speech, said the party shouald con- tinue to fight the saloon with its attend- ant distresses. Mr. Levering in reply read his letter of acceptance, which was as follows: * Oliver W. Stewart Esq. and gentlemen of the committee: It is with feelings of deep emotion that I stand in this presence this evening to accept the mnomination for the Presidency of the United States which you ten- der me on behalf of and by the authority of the National Prohibition Convention, which recently aasembled in the city of Pittsburg. I beg to express my sincere appreciation of the honor thus conferred and to sssure you that it is esteemed all the more highly be- cause of the unanimity of action which marked the convention. Such an honor is worthy the ambition of any citizen of this great Nation, but to my mind it is to be dounly appreciated when tendered by the only political party which has had the coursge to stand openly for the protection of the home, the womanhood and the childhoed of our coun'ry against the terrible ravages and de- =truction of the legalized liquor traffic. The platform adopted by the convention meets my bearty approval, and though based on the single issue is in reality sufficiently broad to allow all to stand on it who are op- Posed to the saloon and its consequent evils, regardless of their viewson any of the other public questions of the day. It is true—and mo thinking man, regardless of his surroundings or residence, can for a moment doubt it—that very many of the peo- ple of our beloved land, and especially thoss engaged in industrial and farming pursuits, are suffering from the general depression so ‘widely prevalent at the present, and also that there hus not been a time since the memor- able days just preceding the breaking out of the Civil War when these difficulties weighed 80 heavily upon the people, or when there wes so much unrest and dire foreboding for the future as exists to-day. & The products of the soil, the mainstay of the Nation’s prosperity and wealth, are so low in ‘vaiue in many instances as not to pay the cost of production, leaving nothing for the labor of the toiler or for the capital invesied. Many rsons hold the opinion that the cause of all this trouble is dverproduction. Butcan such an explanation be true? Is not the thought an impious one? Can any one who believes in a beneficent Creator believe that he be- stows a bountiful harvest to be a curse rather than & blessing to mankind? No, no; perish the thought! The reason of ail the prevalent trouble in our fair land to-day is not over- production, but underconsumption. That being so, where is there & cause which pre- vents the consuvaption of the necessities, to say nothing of tne luxuries, of life comparable to the liquor traffic? We are told by the advocates of one of the political parties that a high tariff is the pan- acea of all our ills, and yet the average annusl receipts from customs for the three years end- ing June 30, 1894, when the McKinley tariff bill was in operation, were only $171,000,000, less than $250 per capita of our population. Others tell us that the free and unlimitea coinage of silver will be the cureall of the evils affecting our people. It is strange such an idea should b3 entertained, when the fact is recalled that the total output of silverin this country for the last year was only $60.- 000,000, & sum much less than the annual produci of the familiar barnyard fowl. How utterly insignificant are either of these figures compared to the $1,200,000,000 which, it is reliably estimated, is the direct yearly tribute the peopie of this country pay to the support of the liguor traffic—a stupendous sum and so large =s to be difficult of realizing. It is nearly twice as large as the agaregated capital of all cur National banks, or, to state it more Pplainly, it is egual to about 75 per cent of the entire money, gold, silver and paver currency, of the United States. Let this vast sum of money, which is now spent yearly in this way and for which no value is received, but, on the contrary, is only adding to the suffering of the people in veried and manifold forms, be turned into the channels of legitimate trade, in the purchase of those things which will ‘bring comfort and happiness to the home and family. Then I believe the troubles which are now weighing #o heavily upon them will be largely things of the past, and until it is done |" no real relief can be expected. While thus emphasizing the results of the liquor traffic as it exisis to-day in cur midst, and the absolute necessity-for its suppression for beverage purposes, if peace and prosperity and the dlessing of God are to rest upon and abide with our people, I don’t underestimate the fact that there sre other questions of grave importance over which the public mind is seriously agitated, end which are being pressed for speedy settiemént. There is the question of a stable and at the same time an elastic currency, equal to the demends of busi. ness in every section of the country, and yet every doliar of which should be of equal value and the whole based on a standard equalto the best in the world. The United States cannot afford without dishonor to have money bear- ing its stamp inferior to thatof any country con the globe. The question of maintenance of the credit of the Government, on which ite homor is based and for which every one worthy of the name of an American is or should be pro- foundly jealous, is one of vast importance: Again, a proper adjustment of the tariff, so that 1abor ean have its just protection without at the same time giving undue protection to the manufacturing interest at the expense of the great consuming portion of our people, is worthy of profound consideration_and early solution. £ B The question of favoritism in legislation, whereby trusts, monopolies and corporations are fostered and protected to the detriment of <he interests of the people at large, is & vital one and should have earnest and prompt con- sideration as a matter of common justice to an oppressed people. The strained relations existing between vari- ous foreign countries as well as between some of them and their dependencies require the exercise lof broad statesmanship in the con- duct of our foreign policy, so that while main- taining the honor of our country and afford- ing the l:llRlalt protection to e citizen of our Republic, there shall be manifested that fsirness and magnanimity which & s T guo:a should ever lho"l, toward "'.".'.'!‘ Wer. ese and fecting the best interest of ell the citizens of attention. the count and AND COAL CO., 251 Ba OF myRUL oan only a3 ihet ShOUI the | ALE SONE M ZSL LoV IR bot B4 and dib. - | the duties and responsibilities of the high and oidiet ters of importance af- | FOUND AT LAST. 1T BEATS THEM ALL. deli { without braid; extra well tailored; extra voters of the United States see fit to call me to, exalted position of the chief magistracy of this Nation, the greatest on the face of earsh, I | can only promise, in the fear of God and in re- | liance upon the guidance of the Holy Spirit, 10 | discharge these duties to the best of my abil-| ity, with en eye single to his glory and for the | good of the people of every section of our land | without favor or partiality.

Four Companies of Telluride District, Colo., Issue a Notice to This Effect. TELLURIDE, Coro., July 28.—A repre- sentative of the Miners’ Union has been in this district for several days organizing the miners. Rumors of the movement | having reached the ears of the big opera- | tors, they issued a formal notice to-day to } the effect that no union miner would be | employed. This was signed by the Tom- | Boy. the Smuggler- Union, the Japan ana | the Columbia-Menona companies by their | respective managers. The reasons stated | were that the highest wages have been | paid and that miners’ unionsalways cause | trouble. To-night the miners are holding | a meeting up at the mines in Marshall | Basin and trouble is undoubtedly brewing for to-morrow. Over 500 miners are em- ployed on these four properties.

JASPER, Fra., July 28.—Advices from Haggard’s turpentine still, the scene of the race riot Saturday night, state that matters are in an unsettied condition and | that there may be further trouble. All the negroes have left the turpentine farm | and Haggard will be forced to close down | at a loss of thousands of dollars. There is | considerable feeling against Hapgard on'| the part of some of the whites. They seem to think that Haggard sympathizes with the negroes and knows where some of them are secreted. A committee of white men waited upon Haggard yesterday and told him that he must produce three of the negroes by Saturday. The riot was precipitated by John Green (white) hugging the wife of a negro. REST A LINCOLN ACADEMYX. Proposed Military and Educational In- stitution in Tennessee. MIDDLESBORO, Ky., July 28.—Major- General Nelson A. Miles, commander of the Department of the East, Genera! 0. O. Howard and Kev. A. A. Meyers, president of the Harrow School at Cumberland Gap, Tenn., are at the head of a movement to erect a large military and educational in- stitution at Howgate, Tenn., on the site of the late Four Seasons Hotel. The name of the institution will be Lin- coln Academy, commemorative of Presi- dent Lincoln. The site comprises 2000 acres, and General Howard, who recently examined it, is of the opinion that it is the finest placa in the entire country for a military academy. The next session of Congress will be asked for an appropria- tion, which, if eranted, will assure the success of the project. Stage of the Irish Land Bill.
