Al men arrested with Isekk were employes of the paper. The arrests were made by Chief of Detectives Colleran, as- d by three of his officers. Captain ran said, after taking the men to the tral police station for examination, that he had arrested them upon informa- tion from Buffalo, but what the nature of hie information might be he declined to The say. He would not admit that he had re- ceived any intimation that the assailant of the President had made a confession implicating in any way the men arrested here. A quite general impression outside the office of Captain Colleran is that there was no special reason for arresting the men save for the general character of their teachings and writings. Oscar Neebe, one of the anarchists con- victed of complicity in the Haymarkst riot, said that there was no plot of the narchists to murder President McKin- I He declared that the assaflant of the President was either a crank or an insane man. “No good colld result from killing Pres- nt McKinley,” Neebe declared, “be- use he is @ good man, and, as far as @ or penitent over his act. nduced by his attention | man’s lectures and writings | to end it | While ac- | himself an anarchist he does | was a Representa- | crowd at the | for any suspicious- | - 4 him | ow to keep off curious | ns of admiration for whose coun- good nature. | and, which President | - to-night on the | implicated in the | arroll | The | who said that | paper of an- | in which | | o \ HE municipal convention of the Union Labor party adjourned at 6:30 o'clock last night, to me again on Tuesday evening at Met- ropolitan Temple. It is expected that the convention will be ready at that | time to procéed to the nomination of can- | didates. But few names are being men- tioned for the local offices. | For the nomination for Mayor James 4e Succa, an Insurance agent, appears to be in the lead.

Eugene Schmitz of the Musicians’ Union is also in the field. His claims are being pressed by a number of bandmasters. There is some talk of a dark horse. For Sheriff H. M. Burnett of the Ma- chinists and J. C. Lane of the Cooks’ and Waiters' Alliance are mentioned. As the committee may go out of the ranks of labor for legal nominees, Frank- lin K.

King Sr., nominee of the docialist party, Is alsv | in_the field. The claims of Judge Robert Ferral for District Attorney are being advocated in he lobby by Walter Gallagher and other old-time campaigners. Guy Lathrop, sec- | retary of the State Federation of Labor, is the only one suggested as a candidate for County Clerk. Police Judges Conlan and Fritz are anx- ious to secure renominations for the va- cancies that occur next year. With this point gained they feel that the Demu- cratic nomination swould fall to them without much trouble. I Less will not haye a_ walkover for Public Administrator, as Jeff Wallace ot the Machinists’ Union will have a big i backing from the Iron Trades Council and the City Front Federation. Only two can- | didates have announced ~themselves for Super¥isor, but as there are eighteen places to fill no dearth of candidates is expected. W. J. Wynn, secretary of the convention, and Joseph Roxburg, a print- er. are the avowed candidates. But one little hreeze stirred the morning sesslon of the convention. The minutes | | were read in a perfunctory manner, and all reference; to the Parry episode of the previous day was ordered expunged.

Two men were put into the sweatbox by the local police to-night in connection with the Buffalo anarchists. One of the men is Michael Goldsmith, a local labor agitator, and the other's name is not known. The latter has promised the local police to find several accomplices of the assailant of the President and they are of the opinion that the plot against the Pres- ident was hatched in this city. et o diocionil Martinelli Deeply Moved.

Dawes, Comptroller of Currency, whose relations with the Presi- dent are of the most intimate character. Mr. Dawes was completely overcome. e immediately made arrangements to go to Buffalo, £0 as to be near the Chief Execu- tive and Mrs. McKinley, and left here on the 5:15 o'clock train, accompanied by Elmer Dover, private secretary to Senator Hanna. John Barber, Mrs. McKinley's nephew, who has just passed examin- ation for paymaster in the army, was at the station with Mr. Dawes. At first he intended to go to Buffalo, but later changed nis mind and went to Canton, where his mother, Mrs. McKinley's sister, resides.

We racognize that a necessity exists for a fund for carrying on permanent im- provéements, such as repairing and repaving Streets, reconstructing and extending our sewers, erecting new schoolhouses when necessary and for other public works that will be of benefit to the city at large and also give cmployment to labor. We therefore pledge our candidates for Mavyor and our nominees for the Board of Supervisors o regerve a fund when mak- ing up & hudget of at least 10 ts on each dollar raised by taxation. the same to be used for parmanent improvements and to be designated as the municipal permanent im- provement fund, and we further pledge our nomiress for Mayor or Supervisors to dis- miss all unnecessary employes that may be | drawing pay fre the city, 6o a saving of at least 00,000 ~an be effacted and the money devoted toward making permanent | freprovements that will provide work for Jabor and also return full value to the tax- vers.

CHICAGO. Sept. 6.—Senator Cullom s2id to-night: “Abraham Lincoln, James A. Garfield and William McKinley were the thrée Presidents most therougnly in-sym- pathy, apparently, with the great body of common people of the country that we have had since the beginning of our con- stitutional government. Mr. Lincoln was assassinated in the early part of his second term, Mr. Garfield during the first few months of his first term, and an at- tempt has been made to assassinate Presi- dent McKinley ,in the early part of his second term. It seems strange, to my mind, that such a fate should befall such men—men who were generous to a fault and that were faithfully performing the great duties of their high office. No man is of a more kindly® nature than President McKinley. His heart beats in unison with the great body of people of the country and of the world. His sole purpose is to do his duty, to take care that the laws be faithfully executed and that the country should go on in its career of growth and prosperity. I sincerely hope he may re- cover to carry out his purpose in tie interest of the United States Government and of the people and to the end of his official term, and be allowed to retire, as he has unqualifiedly expressed his purpose to do, when his term shall expire. Thore can be no question that he has made one of the greatest Presidents of the United States.

It will be a great thing for the United States and for the world if he shall be spared. If he shall be taken away It is my sincere hopa and prayer that the policies of President McKinley during his term shall be con- tinued.” MILWAUKEE. Sept. 6—Henry C. Payne of Wisconsin, National Republican Committee chairman and intimate friend of President McKinley. spoke of the at- tempted a; tion of the President as follows: ““The news of the attempted as- sassination of President McKinley, wheth- er the wound prove fatal or not, fills me with unspeakable horror and grief. There never lived a man of more kindly dispo- sitlon. with a more loving and affection- ate heart, more tender and sweet in his sympathies and in his private life, more devoted to his family and his friends. In those regards he is the most remarkable man I ever met in public life. The at- tempt upon his life was not because he was Wiiliam MecKinley, but because ha was President of the United States.” WINSTEAD. Conn., Sept. §.—Ex-Presi- dent Cléveland was fishing at Darling Lake when he received the news regard- ing the shooting of President MecKinley.

He proceeded to his home | at once, declaring that he was undecided about future plans on account of the sud- denness of the news. The Secretary pos tively refused to say arything for publi- | catlon. BLOOMINGTON, Iil. Sept. 8.—Former President Stevenson dictated the following statement o-night: “The attempted assassination of Presi- dent McKinley i3 indeed appalling. It is too horrible for beliof. The news will bring grief unspeakable to the hearts of all his countrymen. I have known P yeary and served twenty-five years. He was a gentleman of the kindlest feel- ing and could have had no personal ene- mies. The assassin is probably a cran' or a madman.
