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.

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. " _

Brlonn , lor whom a warrant of arrest was Is
sued by Mtigistralo Devlin several weeks niro
on a charge by Manager John W. Post of the
Tubular steel car company of Broderick , Pa. ,
of embezzlement of stock and a promissory
note of $ . 1,000 , amounting in all to SM.tXlO , ap
peared before the magistrate today for the
hearing of the caso. The proscculor , how
ever , failed to put In an appearance and
Urluan was discharged.
At the conclusion of the hearing Architect
Brlcan remarked -significantly : "I told you
that Post would not turn up. Ho has had
causa to stay nwny. "
Subsequent events show that the proba
bilities are that.t \ Post had put lu appear
ance ho would now bo in Moyamensing
prison. 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

rant sworn out before Mngislralo Devlin for
lirican on Iho embezzlement charge disposed

of hunting for Post and loft the city lor that
purpose , only to bo arrested bv the latter In
Buffalo and Inter in Now York city. The

and Brioan was discharged ,
The warrant of arrest charging Post with
the embezzlement of $17.WO In the pocket of

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.

Iittcrcstiiifi Aiimver Filed by the For

PIIII.AOCI.IMIIA , July 30. 7'ho answer of
Edward Pepper , sr. , to the allegations made
against him by his son , Edward Popper , Jr. ,
In a bill in equity filed April last was Hied in
court today and discloses , nn interesting
story.
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

Hcnmitlonnl Trial Which . .owolps Hnvo
Looked Forward To.
AIIINODON , Vn. . July aTho trlnl of Dr.
John P. A. Hakor for the murder of hi * wife
by poison has been anxiously looked forward
to as a most sensational case. The
Interest in this case grows ns the
trial opens. No such crowd of people
has over been collected in the court
house at Abltigdon as that which followed
the Jiillcr to the court house with his
prisoner. 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.
At 1 o'clock Mrs. Gllmer , dressed In solid
black and leaning on the arm of her brother ,
walked to the clone's ' desk and was sworn.
The cross-examination was commenced at
once and Mrs. Ollmer stated that she
was thlrtv-thrco yearn old and the
wife \Vyndlmin Ollmer of Washington
count- , Virginia ; tint Mm had been his wlfo
for thirteen years ; that she know the pris
oner at tha bar and had known him since
August , ISTsS , when she mot him at a festival
at Maple Grove In this county ; that Dr.
Baker was living at the time within about
thrco miles of her homo and had lived there
until the latter part of November or the
ilrst of December of hist year ; that ho had
been her physician for thrco years : she also
stated that their criminal relations dated
baolt about hvo years , when .sho
was sick nnd Mr. Ollmer of course
was absent from homo. Dr. Baker's atten
tions while In tlio sick room were of the
kindest Imaginable , nnd long before ho made
known to her his love she uclioved from his
actions that ho thought a great deal of her
and that she loved him dearly. The plans
for tlio poisoning of her husband were de
tailed and the private post by which they
received letters from each other was often
visited , whore they deposited thuir letters
almost nightly.
The witness was asked how many children
she had and she answered "live" and com
pletely broke down.
Some minutes were required for her to re
gain her .self-control and to proceed with her
statement. Wlion able to resume 'tlio tcsti-
money she told tluit Dr. Baker had visited
her frequently , until it became very unpleas
ant for him to do so on account of the jeal
ousy of her husband.
Counsel asked her If Dr. Baker had ever
mndo threats concerning tlio talcing of his
wifo's life , to which she replied that his
identical words were that "Every barrier
shall bo burned nwny. " An exhibit of Jewelry
was then made by the attorney for the
commonwealth , consisting of n gold watch ,
gold pen and a ring and sonto other articles ,
\vhlch tlio witness identified and told when
and how they had been presented to her and
how n portion of them had been concealed
from her husuand. Engraved In the rings
were these words : "Love for Maggie. "
When calli-d upon to explain who Mnirglo
was Mrs. Ollmer replied that It was herself
and that Dr. Baker told her if any ono asked
to sco the ring and asked about It to tell them
it was "my little Maggie's. " She told of her
trip to the Hotel Fairmont , Boston , whore *
Baker mot her nnd spent the night with her.
Seven letters of tlio most disgusting love
sick nature that could bo de
vised were Introduced. The first was
dated Auj'tist SO , IS'.K ' ) , nnd begun ,
"My own little guardian nngcl , my
llttlo love , sing forever nnd over. God knows
this Is from my soul as surely ns ono of his
angels could utter it , etc. It is signed "L.
W. " which the witness explained to moan
"Littlo Wife. "
Another began "My own llttlo , sweet ,
precious , darling angel , my heart is bleeding
at your door,1' nnd dated August 28 , IS''O. '
There was n liAitrd argument between the
counsel as to the admission of certain testi
mony concerning the plot to poison Wynd-
ham Oilmcr several months after the death
of Mrs. Bakor.

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.

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

After a harmonious so-tslon of thrco and n
