Siot'x CITT. la. , . 'uly 30. [ Special Tclo- pram lo Tun Br.i : . | The selection or .lames S. Clnrkson as chairman of the republican national committee tilds fair precipitate a war in the republican ranks In lown , ns well ns In many otbcr states. There Is Intense dlst-uU In lortn at the tactics of Clarkscm and there will bo open revolt at any attempt to manipulate the Iowa delegation to the na tional convention. The election of Clarkson M president of the national league of republican clubs was , the llrst step of n syndicate of party bosses to manipulate the republican convention against President HnrrUon. H Is thoroughly undcrstonod at Wnshineton that In this syndicate are Messrs. Thurston of Nebraska , Algcr of Michigan , Farwcll of Illinois , Powell Clay- Ion of Arkansas , i'laltof Now Yorlt , nnd the controlling clique in the republican national committeeTlieso bosses felt sure of being able to make President Harrison tholr tool , and to farm out absolutely the patronage of the administration , but were disappointed by- Mr , Harrison's manhood. It can bo str.ted on the best authority that they have begun early to defeat his ronomiuatlou. Why CltirkHon Is fore. Clarkson's grievance is that ho could not get the Interior department. In the Blnlno campaign ho was promised that post , and ho had n gang of henchman whom ho proposed to quarter In the department , being himself recognized In this state as n corporation tool. \Vhcn President Harrison was milking up Ms cabinet , Clarkson , In endeavoring to se cure endorsement , applied to Governor Lar- rabeo , but met a point blank refusal. Presi dent Harrison got rid of him by offering n Tftlnet place to Senator Alliboti , and there upon Clarkson threatened to matte war on the senator. The pressure brought to bear by the na tional repunlican committee on the president was tremendous and Clarkson was given the plnco of assistant postmaster general. Ho there destroyed all chance of promotion by his vanity and mouthiness. Ho filled the newspapers with braggart Interviews daily > out Clarkson and so disgusted tlio admin istration that his resignation was promptly accepted over a year ago. C'lnrkson'H Homo ( ( coord. Clarkson was not slow to Join the other sorehead bosses and their conspiracy to beat Harrison is now in course of execution. A prominent republican , formerly of east ern lewn , in an Interview says : "Tho time has como when the re publican party of Iowa must decide whether this matt Clarkson shall longer mlsroprsent and abuse its confidence. Ho Is a swell headed , cheap John ' politician to wtioso mlsloadcrship is principally duo the reduction of the party majority In this stato. Moro than any other man ho is re sponsible for foisting prohibition upon the party here. While ho controlled a paper at DCS Molnes ho slandered every republican who would not submit' to his offensive boaslsm. Ho abused Governor Larraboo nnd Hiram C. Wheeler , the present candidate for governor. Ho managed to got himself on the national committee , and slnco than ho has been cultivating newspaper notoriety and tpstng ns n mighty man. But It won't work. There are solid re publicans nil over the state who have endured nil they propose to of his presumptions bossosm. They will not submit to the game which ho and other bosses have put up on General Harrison. General Harrison may not bo the man to nominate , but the republicans of the dllTor- ojvt states will shoxv whether ho can bo as- sn.sslnn'lcd by a band of sorehead bosses. The light has uegun in Iowa. 3111. Tlll'HS'fOX'S lltKA. Harrison Is All ISIirlit , I'm lilalno In Iho Alan , llo Say.s. Judso Thurston was soon by a reporter for Tin : Bun yesterday afternoon , nnd after looking over a telegram from Chicago re ferring to nn alleged scheme on the part of J. -B. Clurkson of lown , W.V. . Dudley of Indi ana and Mr. Thurston to gut control of the national committee , ho smiled blandly and Bald : "So far as I am concerned and so far ns I know , llial whole slor.v is a fako. I accepted the position for u second time ns president of thu republican national league after having plainly stated thai I could not letaln tne position on account of other dutleSj and thai 1 might bo permitted to relinquish It at such n tlinu ns I might find it necessary lo do so. Mr. Clarkson did not t > ook the position. It was urged upon him by a ijre.it manner of the most pressing letters and telegrams. Ho was selected for the important position because ho was the only man In view who could successfully carry on the work of thu league aifd make it a success in tlio campaign. "Thjit Is nil there Is lo bo said with reference to my resignation of thu prusl- liKusy of thn league , but slnco you havu como to mo for Information I will Just lake thlsopparUinily to.say that from the moment I expressed publicly , by means of a news paper interview , my honest belief that Mr. James G. Hlalnc as a republican nominee for president In Ib'.lj was u republican necessity , 1 huvo been assailed by the news agencies conducted under the supervision of Mr. Har rison's closest representatives and 1 can only account for It on the theory thai tils friends Inline II necessary lo attack every republican n the United Slates who favors the nomina tion of James O. lilalno. So far ns I am con cerned I will say lhat on every possible- pub lic occasion 1 have expressed mv high appreciation of the ability , honesty nnd success of the present administration , I have approved , In the most emphatic manner , nil thu public acts of Mr. Harrison. 1 think all republicans oughl lo ho proud of his ad ministration nnd grateful for bis public ser vices ; but when It comes to a question of nominating a presidential ticket every re publican lu the United States hits aright to advocate the nomination of the man whom hi bellovos can most surely bo elected. I bo- llevo thai James O. Blalno Is that man. Having boon In nearly every stale of thu Union I am salUtled thu opublican sentiment is so strongly for tils nomination that nothing can prevent it ex cept hit own poililva refusal to obey iho wishes of Iho rcpublcun parly. " "Has anyone over approached you In bo- lialf of Mr. Clarkson asking you lo assist him In golllui ! control of the national committee ! " "l have not heard ot miy such scheme. I have not talucd with Mr. Clurksou slnco ho became first assistant postmaster gen- eral. I bellevo ho Is , of all Iho men In the United States , iflo of the most thoroughly devoted to ro- Miubllcan principles and republican succcs * . Ho Is u man who U always wUlitij ; lo sacrl- JIHJ every pononal ambition and personal In terest for iho iiooil of hli parly , I have no Idea who Mr , Clarkson favor * for iho prcsl- ueucjr , but wboovor ho does favor uo favors simply because ho believes ibat the man Is the sironecst man for the head of the tlckot. " "Do you know what Mr. Dudley's political ambitions are ! " "I do not. But I doubt whether ho has nny political ambitions or aspirations. Ho tiai a law practice In Washington that brings him f.VOOi ) ) a year , and ho Is very much InKen up with his professional work. "I am perfectly willing Hint people should understand that 1 am n personal friend of General Russell A. Algor. Mr. W. A. Dudley nnd Mr. J. S. Clnrkson. 1 entertain Ibo very warmest personal regard for each of thum. " ThlnUH It it Ho . Hon. John L. Wcbrtor said Ibat he had not heard the rumor until tils attention was called to it last evening , and wis inclined to put very llttlo faith In It. In speaking of the matter , ho said : "I shall want better proof than moru hotel gosMp to convince mo that affairs are as represented. I am not' personally acquainted with Mr. Clarkson never spoke to him in my life nnd 1 did not know that ho was dissatisfied with tlio administration. When Mr. Thuiston re signed tlio reason given was that ho had not time to devote to it , nnd he thought that dur ing the niixt year It should bo given a great deal of titna nnd nttonllon. The olllco does not pay unv salary , but It was thoueht that some one should fill iuwho had a great deal of energy nnd ability , l know lhat Mr. Clarkson was unwilling to take it , nnd the mailer of making Iho soleclion was held In abeyance for two or thrco days in nn en deavor lo get him to accept It. I am Inclined to regard this story as a boomerang , some thing line the Watson Interview , Just spruug for a sensation. " _ Manlcy'H Letter t , i Oavltt. DCTHOIT , Mich. , July 30.

A detective was waiting for him on the outside of the magistrate's olllco with a warrant In his pocket calling for the arrest of the Tubular steel car company's manager on thn charge of embezzlement of $17fiOO. For nearly two weeks Bricnn and Post have been giving out to the public lhat each was on a.still hunt for the other.

PROSPECTS NEVER MORE FLATTERING , Farmers I'rovlilod JTlionisolvcs After Much Dlllluiilty ivlth the Nco- cHsary Seed Grain nnd At tended to Business. MADIIID , Neb. , July .TO. [ Special to TUG DEC. ] Inasmuch as exaggerated reports have gone out relative to the damaga to cropi by hail in Penclnscounty by the recent storms , It seems proper to glvo the facts ns near as can ho gathered. In the vicinity of Grunt and Klsio considerable loss Is reported nnd now and then a farmer can bo found who sustained , practically , a total loss of his crops , yet as compared to the total amount of growing crops hi the county the loss is very slight. No great extent of serious damage Is re ported adjacent to Madrid where the llnest and largest area of crops In the county Is situated. The dnitmgo and loss In Perkins county li certainly not over a to 5 per cent. Last spring many farmers were unable to provide themselves with seed wheat , owing to the light crop of the previous year. Then it was that John McICenzie , president , and Oeorpo Snyder. cashier of tlio bank of Madrid , came to the rescue , furnishing seed for all who wished It , without n note or written contract , simply agreeing with each farmer to receive in the full the usual pro portion of the crop produced In lieu of the seed supplied. The confidence manifested In the Integrity of the farmers in leaving the reimbursement for so large an amount of seed wheat entirely to their honor , has done much toward modifying the feeling of dis trust and animosity which blateni adven turers have engendered of late in the minds of the farmers against the bankers. The practical results of this manly nnd generous act , and its benoilts to Perkins county , can hardly bo estimated. Young Horse Tiller's CoolncHH. STANTON , Neb. , July UO.

In his bill inequity Mr. I2rtward Popper , Jr. , alleged that some timd previous to Janu ary 1 , ISSt , his health became seriously at- footed so as to render it necessary for him to give up his practice of niiullcitio in Paris and remove to Algiers , Africa.S'liuii his mother , Sarah C. Popper , died she was tlio owner of a certain property and estate at St. Scrvlns In Brittany , Franco. Known as Mouclilerro. This property was valued r.t $10,000 , nnd under tlio laws of Franco the son , who was the only surviving uhild"wa , cntltlod to half of this amount. The "complainant admits having released to his father all Interest In this property for a consideration , but claimed that hi. father had entered toto'lm engage ment to pay him 1-U,00 francs per annum. The copj * of this agreement ho charged his father with having sjnco burned. For n timn the annuity was paid' to the complain ant , but for Hvo years past , It-is claimed , thu father has neglected to make payments. The answer Hied today was sworn to botoro a notary public In Franco and is signed by Edward Pepper , sr. , the defendant. Ho denies that his son was forced to leave Paris on account of Ill-health , hut his departure was owing to his misconduct with women. Continuing , the answer says : "In order to avoid scandal caused by the conduct of mv son I agreed to pay him 1,000 , francs a month so that bo could leave Parts , but I did not bind myself to p.iy this for any stated period and never agreed to continue it as an an nuity during his life , but nn condition of his good behavior. I paid my son the 1,000 francs a month on condition that ho use It for the support of his wife and child , but when I found that ho had broken his promise in every respect and was not supporting his family , hut had gone oft and was living with another woman by-tho name of Madame Louis File , in Mustaph , whom ho had taken from Paris when ho loft and had adopted her name so as to escape from his own wife , 1 declined to make any further pay ment. Tbo shame and distraco brought on mo by the misconduct of my son has been such that I have been forced to have no furthur communication with him and to consider him dead and not to allow his mme to bo spoken of in my presence. " In conclusion the answer states that the agreement was made for the upportof the complainant's wife and child and that when he went away with the woman and loft his family nil' contracts for tha annuity were at an end nnd that the father does not thifik that his duty requires him to support his son in a life of degradation.

It Is understood that .Mrs. Oil- mcr , who had played such nn important part In this case , was to t"o the llrst witness for the commonwealth , and at nn early hour every seat was taken and the aisles were filled with anxious spectators.

All the Other Nominees Must Ho ' Henchmen ol * tlio Senator , for 'I hey All Oot There \ > y Acclamation. m , Md. , July ! 10. H was known that United States Senator Arthur P. Gor man is n candidate for re-election by the next general lusomby of Maryland and that hit name has been mentioned frequently foi pri'sldet'tial ' honors. Attention has bciMi cen tered upon him and also upon the state con vention of his parly , which was held bora today In Ford's grand opera houso. Tha great building was elaborately decorated with lings of all tmtlons and was filled to Its utmost capacity with , the largest d'-lcgntlons from the counties that over assembled In state convention slnco the memorable defeat of Governor W. T. Hamilton for ro-elcctiou by John Lee Carroll of Cnrrollton. Although Senator Gorman was tumble to bo presenthav ing ionoto\Vashlngton last night after several days of conference and friendly association with the county democracy , the convention was unanimously for him , as Is shown by the resolutions adopted nnd the frequent and rapturous applause whenever his name was mentioned. Not only does the platform recognize his signal service to the national democracy , but the special resolution en dorsing him for ro-oloction to the setiato gives evidence of the osteoin in which ho Is hold by the people of his native state. Hon. Barnes Campion , congressman from the Fifth district and chairman of the st.ito cenlrul committee , called the convention to order at noon. In a short and telling ad dress ho eloquently reviewed the situation , local and national , nnd was enthusiastically applauded. Kx-Govornor Henry Lloyd of Dorchester was made permanent chairman and the usual secretaries mid committees were .selected. Tlie platform , after commending thu candi dates nominatedtakes up matters of national Interest nnd contrasts unfavorably the ad ministration of President Harrison and tl-a into republican congress .with the adminis tration of President Cleveland and tlio dem ocratic congress. It declares the republican administration in congress lias disregarded the pledges of Its ptrty with regard to civil service reform anil a reduction of taxes incident to tlio tariff. The civil service of the United States ns n whole today , It declares , Is a partisan organization doing political service for the administration by which it is employed. President Harrison anil the republican con- cross found on their advent to power a largo surplus in the treasury loft by nn economical democraticadministration. . The surplus told plain talcs to the people , demoiuHrnting that tlio taxes imposed by the republican adminis tration are in excess of the needs of government economically adminis tered , and therefore unnecessary and unjust. In plnco of the reduction which the people were led to expect , the tlnancos of the country have been mismanaged and wild speculations and commercial disasters had followed In its train. The surplus was wasted In extravagant expenditure , and unjust , and unnecessary taxation continued , The republican party found on the advent of Hurribon to ollloe , n people no longer di vided by sectional lines , but prosperous nnd thoroughly united. The republican party , through the agency of the speaker , had de prived democratic representatives of their rightful seats and souu-ht to perpetuate its power and destroy the autonomy of the several states by mentis of the notorious force bill. The democratic party is deeply grateful to the senators and representatives who contributed to defeat the obnoxious measure , nn'd moro especially to Hon. Arthur Gorman , whoso leadership contributed largely to the defeat. The existing tatiff system , the platform de clares , casts an unnecessary burden uroii the people , lends to iifjcttmutato enormous wealth in tlio hands of the few nnd promote monopo lies , Those abuses It believes can only bo corrected by the election of a president and congress pledged to a careful and thorough revision of the tariff system. A dollar in gold coin and a dollar In silver coin should bo of equal exchangeable- value , thu platform declares , In all the markets of the United States , ami any attempt to depre ciate by legislation either of tlieso motiils ought to be deprecated and co'idmmmiicd. The platform closes with an endor&emcnb of Senator Gorman for re-election by the next assembly to the sunuto. After the enthusiasm of the convention aroused by iho Gorman resolution had bncn spent Dr. Frank Shaw nominated Frank Brown of Carroll county for governor , hav ing performed the same duty four years ago. The convention wont wildovortlio "farmar candidate" and no less tnnti llvu speeches were made seconding tbo nomination , which was mndo by acclamation. Samuel Casey of Cuss county next nom inated Marlon bmilh of that county for state comptroller. Aflorsuvoral complimentary speeches , nil of which paid their tribute to Senator Gor man's worth , thu nomination was also made by acclamation. Hon. J. P. Dee of Baltlmoro city was placed In nomination for attorney general by 10. Kay Buchanan of Baltimore. Tills was also quickly carried by acclama tion. tion.For For clerk of the court of appeals J. Frank Fonl of St. Mary county was nominated by F. M. Cox ol the Port Tobacco Times. The silver-tongued orator of Maryland , J. Mortimer ICllgour , seconded tills in a speech that aroused thu convention to the highest' degree of enthusiasm. In deed from llrst to lust the convention was moru of a rntlflcallon meeting nnd ova tion to Senator Gorman tnan a party conven tion. The resolutions wo to unanimously adopted after the nomination had boon made amid the greatest enthusiasm and chcor.i at every allusion to Senator Gorman. Speeches were made by the nominees In which un bounded confidents nnd great esteem were manifested for Mr. Gorman , Ono speaker In seconding u nomination pronhoslud boldly that the lender in defeating the force bill would be the next president ot the United States , The party emblem for use under tha Australian ballot adopted Is the Jackson and llberly tree.
