Hr.K. ] The hotels are rapidly tilling with
delegates to the state republican convention.
The corridors present the samonppcarancoof
activity and lobbying they did in the old
dajs when the management of campaigns
was entrusted to mon who had made almost a
life study of buttonholing and worldlier dele-
Kates. Tills evening the representatives of
forty counties are on hand , nnd of these the
majority favor the nomination of Kecso for
associate justice.
Judge Cobb has dual headquarters. One
Is located in the Lincoln nnd the other in the
Capitol hotel. Hl.s honor passes his time be
tween these places and readily receives all
who dcsiro to call upon htm. His body
guard comprises members of the Journal's
Btaff , Oil inspector Carnos , Charley Magoon ,
Judge advocate general on Governor
Thaycr's ' stalf ; Si Alexander , ColonelThomas
Cooke and Colonel Thomas Bonton. These
and n host of others have mapped out a plan
of campaign. Ono hears their battle cry
wherever ono of those solf-sacriflciug patri
ots may bo found. The fact of having two
headquarters gives Cobb's friends nn oppor
tunity to work twice tbo number of unproin-
Iscd representatives enjoyed by Heese's
friends.
This afternoon the headquarters of Judge
liecso. which are established In the Capitol
hotel , were tintcnantcd. The judge himself
was not to bo found , although ho was sup
posed to bo unostentatiously moving among
his friends in some part of the city.
It may be stated that the Ileoso delegates
who have arrived are Hooso men with n great
deal of ardor and devotion. Some of the
Kccso men have carefully talllad the votes in
the delegations which have boon instructed
for their mn. They claim to have hoard
from forty-eight counties in which Hoeso is
pledged 10. ) votes and Cobb only ninety-
eight , with Judge Post credited with thirty-
cmht. They claim also that there
is a number ot counties in which the dele
gates liavo not been Instructed but which ,
nevertheless , sent a number of staunch sup
porters of Judge Heoso.
Judge Post of Columbus has not as yet es
tablished headquarters. Ho is represented
by J. L. Pollock of that city. Brad Slaughter
of Fullerton , United States marshal , is lend
ing a helping hand as is also Collector Peters
of Omaha. The last mentioned gentleman ,
however , is not so demonstrative as the
others.
Judge T. O. C. Harrison of Grand Island
will have quite a complimentary
vote. Tlio movement in his favor
was spontaneous , having taken place on the
train on which n number of the delegates
from the far northwestern Bounties were rid
ing to this city. The latter spoke highly of
Judge Harrison'and claim that thcro is not n
county in his judicial district which will not
give him its lionrty support. The district is
n largo ono , comprising Hall , Howard ,
Grccley , Boone , Blalno , Loup , Garfield , A al
loy , Thomas and Sheridan counties ,
Judge W. ll. Morris of Crete is also con
sidered candidate.
Only three candidates are mentioned for
regent of the university : Charles Hall of
Valparaiso , Charles Marplo of Omahs and
"William Allen of Kearney. Mr. Hall is a
lawyer nnd n graduate of the university.
Mr. Marplo is a young lawyer of Omaha , n
graduate of the University of Pennsylvania.
Mr. Allen is a resident of Kearney. Ho is a
capitalist , having bcqulrcd a competency in
the handling of real estate.
Secretary Walt Soeloy of the republican
state central commlltco has established
headquarters at the Capitol hotel. Ho has
systematized the work In line stylo. A few
days ago ho forwarded to the sorotary of
every county republican central committee a
blank in which ho requested them to write
the names of their delegates to this conven
tion. Thus far fifty of these lists have been
received and before midnight ono from every
county whcro there is a republican orgamza.
lion will have been received.
The Douglas county delegation arrived to
night , about seventy strong. The prevailing
opinion was that there wore at least thirty
voters for Hocso.
There was a rousing mooting of the state
central committee tonight and for the llrst
time In the history of the party It was de
cided to recommend a candidate for tempo
rary chairman of the convention , the party
selected being Gcorpo Thummcl of Grand
Island , The sub-committee of the executive
committee , which was appointed three
months ago to examine the records of the
chairman , secretary and treasurer , reported
that they had found everything correct.
The Otoo county delegation arrived to
night. John Watson said : "This delegation
will vole solid whichever way it goes , "
Cobb's managers hnvo selected n badge in
the shape of a cobb plpovhich that gentle
man's supporters are wearing in their hats
nnd as button hole bouquets.
The nnme of Dr. Mercer of Omaha has
boon mentioned in connection with the chair
manship of thu republican state central com
mittee.

Interesting Mooting ol' Party Clubs at

SfitiNTON , Pa. , Sopt. 23. The convention
tlon of the League of Republican clubs was
called to order this morning. The usual
committees wcro appointed and nrccoss taken
for an hour to await the report of the committee -
mitteo on resolutions.
When the convention reassembled the
committee was not ready to report , nnd nom
inating speeches were mado.
General J. P. S , Gobin of Lebanon , nomi
nated Major Everett Warren of Scranton for
president. Ho made a plea for harmonious
action and said that Major Warren was the
only man who could bring unity to the party.
W. Gaylord Thomns of Lackawanna BCO-
ondcd this nomination.
General Boeder's committee on platform
reported nt it-jr : > . With the platform came a
resolution , recommending that all the regu
lar clnos bo admitted , whether their dues
were paid before July ID or not. This would
brlng'ln about fortv additional clubs , all for
Dal/ell.
jNlr. Uotwoiler of Dauphin immediately
moved to lay the resolution on tlio table.
Mr. McGee demanded a roll call , saying
ho wanted to vote on this motion.
The platform was ndopt"d , but the resolu
tion admitting additional clubs was lost by a
vote of 12S to 70. The Warren men voted
with the Dalzoll men.
Kobinson was elected on first ballot. Iho
vote wns : Itobiuson , Ml ; Ualzcll12 ; War
ren. 1.1.
The roll call had hardly commenced when
n scene of gruat excitement was caused by
the throwing out of the votes of the Dela-
motor Guards of Pittsburg , for not paying
their dues. Two colored men insisted that
the i'ros ' had been sent to President Stuart
nnd took issue with the chair v.'hon It said
that the dues had never boon received.
The announcement that Kobinson had re
ceived 1 ll votes , Dalzel12 und Warren 115
created wild applause.
Mr. Dal/.ell moved to make the election
unanimous which motion carried ,
Mr. Dalzell was at once called to the plat
form and made a long speech. Ho was
heartily for Mr. Kobinson and was satisticd
with the result.
Senator Kobinson was then escorted to
the chair , and in his speech ot thanks , bo
said ha would be proud to follow the wlso
counsels of Senator Dalzoll In the coming
contest.
N. A. Kaudolph of Allegheny was elected
secretary , Muplotot : H. Young of Philadel
phia was elected treasurer , William Linu of
Philadelphia , corresponding secretary.
A resolution was adopted , tnat liercaflor
clubs must bo in existence six months before
fore they can apply for admission to the
league.
The platform as adopted reafllrms unalter
able fidelity to the principles of tlio repub
lican party ; cordially endorses the principles
of the republican party as enunciated in the
platform of 1SSS ; approves the work of the
late state republican convention and endorses
its platform ; commends ttio work of the na
tional administration ; the pure , patriotic and
nblo services of President Harrison and the
brilliant foroh'ii uolioy of that great loader ,

Fl-jures IVom the Census )
ISureau.
WASHINGTON , D. C. , Sopt. 23. Superin
tendent Porter of tlio census bureau has
made public additional statistics as to farm
loans and mortgages in the state of Kansas
According to the results , obtained direct by
the agents of the census oflleo from ofllclal
records of municipalities and counties of that
state , it appears that a recorded real estate
mortgage debt of ? 1S2IW9VIO. ( excluding state
and railroad land contracts , was Incurred in
Kansas during tlio ten years , 1SSO-IK ) , a largo
portion of which has been paid. Of this
SUi,2 : < itVii : : or 71.11 per cent of the total in-
cumbered acreage is almost entirely agricul
tural real estate , and $139,431,400 , or 2S.89
per cent Is incumbered "lots" or village , city
and other real estate. The existing debt of
the state of Kansas January 1 , 1SS9 , secured
by real estate mortgages , aside from state
and railroad laud contracts , aggregates $23\-
4S5.10S. Of the total amount of existing
debt thus returned ? 107,1 15,039 , or 70.113 per
cent , Is on acres , or almost exclu
sively farms , and ? l3,340,0l.l ! ! ' , or 2U.02
per cent on lots. Average amount of debt
in force per diseased acre Sf.'t. 7. Average
amount of debt in force per mortgaged ncro
flUlS. Of the total debt In force nealnst
acres ( in nearly all cases moaning farms )
31 par cent is on real estate in the western
half of the state , whoso values uro low , and
where settlement was made but a few years
ago , largely upon public lands. This has n
great oiTect on state averages based on value.
Thu debt in force per capita Is ? ll5 ! , and per
family of live fyi.'i , but the securities uro not
sot nil , because of many non-resident owners
of mortgaged r ° al estate.
The recorded debt of the state of Kansas
decreased -I'J.-t'.l percent from IhS" to ISS'.I.
It is safe to say that fully three fourths of
the debt of Kansas was Incurred for pur
chase money and Improvements.
Mr. Porter concludes that the mortgage
liulobtmHs of tlio state is H.M ) per cent of the
true valuation of all property in the stato.

TitiNiiup , Colo. , Sopt. -Tonight the
members of the Trinidad lire department are
having a big demonstration , which will last
until midnight , when the apparatus will
bo turned over to the city and the
various companies , disbanded. This leaves
the city without any protection against
lire. The notion of the lire boys
Is due to the fact that the city council refused -
fused to compensate them tor time put in at
the tiros. Headed by the baud playing a
dlrgo , the four companies marched through
the principal streets , the hose carts umpc'l
In mourning. At the head of the procosblon
was a transparency representing a coffin.
The citUcns nro in sympathy with the
members of the department , who Imvo boon
very shabbily treated. The only recourse
for the city now Is to organize a paid depart
ment.

i.o , N. V' . , Sopt. 23. Tonight ended
nil connection of laymen with the Ilfth con
gress of Gorman-American Catholics. The
llnnl meeting of the congress , which will
toke place tomorrow , exclusively for priests
( itnl to ho held lu private , will bo the most
Important of the session , us It ia the ono at
which the question will ho settled whether
the widely commented upon "Clorlenlunlon"
will continue under the leaders who liavo
given it fatno or will It select new chieftains.
The principal work in which the laymen par
ticipated was in voting unanimously nu ap
proval of the platform of the congress.
Letters of regret for uosenco from the con
gress \vcro read tonight from a long "list of
names. Arclihishop Corrlgan stated the
reason for his uosenco was "ignorance of the
German language. "
Almost hreathless attention was given by
the congress nnd spectators to Cardinal
Gibbons'reply to an Invitation to him. Ho
wrote :
While prevented by Important encase
ments from being picsent. I heg to assure you
of my deep Inteicst In your proceedings , t
regard tlm German element as u most im
portant factor In tlio government or our
country. As clU/.ons and as Catholics they
have gained an enviable topiitiitlon. I huvu
no doubt tliat your deliberations will bo
marked by ullotri.'ini'o to tlio holy father , and
by that .sense of moderation for which your
countrymen are noted.
Interesting papers on general topics wore
reau during the evening.
The wildest cheering broke forth In ttio
convention wlien Just before tlio adjourn
ment Archbishop Katzor of Milwaukee came
abruptly to the front of the stacc. Speaking
in Gorman , ho said :
You liuvo heard several letters of nreti-
bl.shops and bishops that they uero not ahlo
to attend. I myself was engaged , but I lot
my business behind and 1 came to this con
vention to publicly disavow what
has boon aUi against these organi
zations. The first thins I wish
in protest by my niescnci' ugaln-t , Is that wo
are not loyal cltlcns.Vo ate as loyal as
tlioso "peaking the language of this country.
We have shown It In years gone by and wo are
ready any tlmo to show It again , Secondly ,
the press principally spreads the news , and
many have believed It that wo caino together
to create dissension. Iltethren. before I am n
Uerman , bnfore I am an American , I am a
Catholic , and If anything like dissension were
Intended here 1 would not have como ,
The platform , as presented tonight by
Father i-'aerboi * of St. Louis , like all other
portions of the proceedings , was In German.
The following is an authoritative transla
tion , specially prepared by three of the most
prominent priests in the congress :
We , Catholic Oormans from all parts of the
United States , assembled In the 1 Ifth Catho
lic congress In ItuU'alo , have
1. To oll'er o r most devoted affection to the
supreme head of our holv church , express our
crntltudo for the holy father's blcsslni : and
promise anew and for all time. In our name
ami In the name of cnngic-Mtlons and socie
ties reiirrsoiitcq by us. our Illlal devotion and
nnfalllni : fealty.
i. With dellcht the German American con-
cress embraces also , in this year , the op
portunity of pointing out publicly and dis
tinctly Its position In the so-called Koman
question namely , the temporal power of
nope , llesldes the extreme religious Im
portance of the question Itself , wo , as faithful
children or the church , deem It our Micioil
duty to make this imhllo declaration of the
reason that the holy father himself , the most
competent , ana , Indeed , the only competent
Judge In the matter , has never ceased both to
proclaim solemnly and forcibly his Inviolable
rhrlits to the territorial Independence of the
huly ceo and to cncouraeo the Catliollcs to
fearlessly defend the rights. As free Ameri
can citizens wo will not tolerate any Inter
ference with the free expression of our views
on this extremely Important church matter.
This objection , or false supposition , that It la
Indeed Inopportune to discuss openly the
Roman nncstlon In our country , can onlv tin
explained by tracing It to : i pitiable deception
or to the want of courage In showing fearlessly
our true Catholic convictions. No national or
International prlnclnle In law , no sovereignty
of a people can ever endorse or sanction a
usurpation eonlllctlnu with the freedom and
Independence guaranteed to the head of the
chinch by the Divine Founder and Injuring
severely and emphatically the sacred Inter
ests of I ho 'JOO.lXiO.tifiO Catholics. The entirely
fieo e.MTcIso of the highest apostolic power ,
aecoidlng to Cod's ordinance. Is Intimately
connected , as well with the welfare of the
entire chinch as with the territorial Inde
pendence of the. holy see , willed by divine
providence. It Is necessary In our present
political and social situation to secure
and accord that freedom In Its full
meaning the word. The natural seat of
papacy U the centrum of the church , and as
the metropolis of tin ) Catholic world belongs
to the popes ( letter of I.oo XIII. to Cardinal
Kampalawho ) h.ivc , moreover , used the rights
of .sovereignty , acquired In justice and sonled
by .solemn contracts , over the welfare or Ita y
and 1C n rope , and the whole world , as true
benefactors of mankind. Itecent events ,
especially the selection of our glorious reignIng -
Ing ponllir , Lee XIII. , to settle by arbitration
any International controversy , and the pope's
excellent encyclical on the most Important
and burning topics , especially on the condi
tion of labor , have proved biinlclently that the
entire freedom of the holy see would
ho of the greatest Importance to so-
clotv , siilTerlng already the many ail
ments of the present century. With con-
lldunco we leave It to divine providence liv
what means the icsUiralion of napal Inde
pendence will be bumght about. In the mean
tlmn we will never cease to couraieoiisly ; sus
tain the hoiy father and to strive with all
legal and It'gltmato means to regain the
fieedom due to tlie successor ot St. I'eter. In
this rcsnoct wo gleet with the utmost
pleasure the Idea , suggested at the recent
t'utliolle congress held In Germany , to call an
International Catholic congress for the pur-
po o of urging the restoration of the temporal
power of pope as an Independent sovereign.
I'or the reason that political circumstances
have pieventt'd the adoption of said resolu
tion In Kurope , wo believe that our beloved
country , the land of the free. In the proper
plaeo for holdingsnch a congress sluco wo are
not hampered by political prejudice and
Impellal Intrigues. As Catholics of the
United States , wo consider It our honored
duty to adopt the resolution of our brulhien
In Kurope. Wo believe the time has como
when an International congress can convene
for the purpose of aiding In the restoration of
the pope's temporal power. Wo believe that
no country In the world Is better adapted for
holding biieh a congress than the I'nlted
Status , nnd that no time moro opportune than
the occasion of the World's fair at Chicago , In
IS ! ) ' . This our churUhod wish , wo resuoet-
fully submit for the consideration and up-
nroval of all our brethren In the Catholic
faith , to the good will and approval of our
elllcleiit bishops , especially of hU eminence ,
our beloved cardinal , James lllbbons of llaltl-
mnio. and lastly , with Illlal reverence nnd
love In the decision ot our sovereign pontnr
I.co X11 ,
a.Ve olfer the Holy 1'atlicr our most re
spectful and Mncerest thanks for the excel
lent encyclical on the labor questions. As
faithful children of the Catholic church wo
deem It tuiiiurlluoii * to expressly stale that
we shall use all our ell'orts to exeento practi
cally the piinclpleslahl down In said encycli
cal and to bring them to the recognition of
the public at large , Inasmuch us wo bollevo
that only by maintaining thn.se principles
the solution of 11.Is most important question
of the day can be found.
4. The liberty , based on natural rights and
guaranteed by the constitution , of educating
our youth. Is u boon which we demand , hence
wit moat emphatically protest against every
attempt at Interfering with that liberty by
unjust legislation. Uuldea by the principles
so frequently quoted by uiir holy
father , wo declare that education
without a religions basis can bo
but productive of evil lesults. We protest ,
therefore , ugalnst every Interference with our
piirochlul schools , and especially wo condemn
the so-called I'onvhliei'paio plan , in which
religion has been madu a side-snow , and
hence , on huvu little or no roll.jlotni Inllucnco
In education.
6. We demand the full right and liberty to
retain , without Interference from any one ,
our Herman mother tongue , together with tlio
language of this country. At the sumo time
wo protest most emphatically that for thin
reason the cry of forclgnUm is raised iienlmil
us , and Unit an attempt It. made at denying
us equal rights w/th / other American citizens ,
& lieicby wo auto again that our hojie *
for the future are tinted In the central
uidon of UertiMii young men's .societies so
snct'i'ssfdlly and happily brought about In
I'lltshnr and of ourcOuzress nttalnlnc a per
manent character. Although the congress
will not In the beginning be productive of
pr.'nt and astonishing result * , yet wo are
pleated with whatever good It ban done We
appeal to all our friends nnd those of our
youth to co-oporale with us harmoniously to
secure greater rojtllts.
T. Wo gladly solfo the opportunity pre
sented by lhs : congress to renew our former
declaration of fidelity and confidence In and
attachment to our reverend bishops of the
United States. We look upon them and honor
them as our rightful superiors , placed over us
by Almighty Hod.
S , We protest against all attempts to en
croach upon the rights of Indian1' In the selec
tion and practice of their religion. We pro
test In the name of liberty and justice ncnlnst
the attempts that are being made to withdraw
from the Catholic Indian schools the support
of the government , tinder the hypocritical
plea of supporting the public schools , liuis-
miicli us thereby there Is openly declared
opposition against Christian education , espec
ially against the Catholic church.
The concluding section expresses regret at
the death of the Illustrious tr. ) Wlndthorst
of Germany.

Druthers Change Their Names Several
' \ linen to liaise "Money.
New HAVIIN , Conn. , Sopt. 2.1 , Ono of the
biggest swindling operations ever carried on
in this city comer to light in the failure of
the firm of V. E. Schlactor & Co. , recently
doing business at No. 124 CoHimbus avenue ,
The linn was composed of Victor atut Louis
Schlacter , brothers. By changing their
names from Sohlachtcr to Schlactcr and
Sohlnter , they have swindled right and loft.
Louis has loft town and Victor is lott to boar
the brunt of the affair. Ho will probably bo
arrested. The two have , borrowed money
on promissory notes , forging the names of
their mother and indorse
a mother-in-law as
ment , besides mortgaging property for
amounts much larger than the property Is
worth. They bought.tho property hi Decem
ber. ISSti , and began a market nnd grocery
business. The building was old , but the lot
is worth f3 , < )0a. When thny purchased it
they mortgaged it to the Now Haven Sav
ings bank for f..OOO/
On October Ifi , 1888 , Louis , under the name
of L. M , Slater , gave John Mason a mortgage
on it for $150. Again , on January ll ! , IS'JO.
the brothers under the unmes of Victor and
Louis Schlactor , mortgaged the sumo prop
erty to Louis Bates forSTOO , anil a day or two
later Louis mortgaged it individually tollob-
ert T. Merwin for WOO.
Then they raised .money on promissory
notes , forging the endorsements required.
Louis , who has disappeared , forged tlio name
of Mrs. Salome Kettoror , Victor's mother-
in-law , while she was in Europe , the payee
never thinking it necessary to inquire into
the matter. Henry L. Elliott held u note
which was not paid at. maturity. He brought
suit and as there was little or nothing in the
excluder's store , ho petitioned to have the
brothers declared Intojient. The hearing on
the appointment of trustee was postponed
.until yesterday. A score of creditor. ! ap
peared. Proof o'rtho forgeries were found.
The store and lot hud been mortgaged four

presents the appearance of a deserted town.
Some of the principal places of business still
remain closed up , the proprietor * , clerks and
help having either gone for claims or for the
now townsites.
Among the noticeable people in line nt the
land odlco today was a woman who made the
race and who had driven -toko on a claim
seventeen miles east of here , who had waited
In line for the past twelve hours. On reach
ing the window she learned that the claim
for which she had made the race and settled
on had been Hied on by n prominent ,
merchant. The poor woman wept bitterly
and said ; "I have waited for nearly
two years with my family , consisting
of two boys nnd ono girl for this claim. My
boys were not old enough to keep n claim so I
made the race myself in order to bo sure that
everything was nil right and now on reachIng -
Ing here IIInil the claim gouo. My boys will
go to work hero in the city or on the farm of

Did Not Spare Hor.se Flesh.
A messenger 1ms just arrived from
Chandler with n message from Mr. Uoy
Hoffman , of the Dally News. lie says :
"Probably the first man to roach the town-
silo of Chandler was William Tllgtimnu of
Guthno. Mr. Tllghman rode his famous
race horse , Moxitjue , and made settlement on
the southwest quarter of nine , which lies
adjacent to the county seat. lie
started at the northwest corner of
the Kicknpoo reservation. This was the
iijarost point to the town site. Over tUO
teams started from there at the eamo time ,

Tvero ridden down in the race on account ot
heat and the eagerness of riders to reach the
town site.
The sccno here nt Chandler , upon reach
ing it tonight , beggars description. A care
ful painstaking estimate of people who have
congregated , puts the number at ' 1,000. In
faet a closer guess might bo 5,000.
The survey of the half section reserved for
the town site has not as yet been completed
and the people are compelled to camp upon
adjoining lands. Oftinpto the dense growth
of vegetation in th" low lands or rocky up

could be. The line of iiomarkatlon is clearly
dcllned by camp tires which extend around
the land reserved for town site purposes.

The lot seekers are annoying the surveyors
very much. They are continually crossing

The soldiers are assisting the surveyor * nil

the soldiers to do tlio work they wore sent

Last night was beautiful. Nature was kind
to the thousands lying out of doors , but it
was not "sweet sleep and quiet dreams" for
many of them. Water was scarce , nnd many
had neglected to curry oven ono drink. The
great nuisance , however , was prairie fires.
All over the now lands they were burning
brightly , tilling tbo air with smoke of a pe
culiar odor. Some of the fires were started
to drive mon off claims , while others were
started by men hunting for section stones.
The stones were bard to llnd. Major \Vcigel ,
ttio special agent of the Interior department ,
says the stones have been dug tip by the In
dians. The country was surveyed seventeen
years ago airnlnst the wishes of the Indians ,
and the noble red mon followed the survey

A courier from Toi'timsoh , the town site of

proclaimed open to settlement at noon today
by Governor Stoolo. Two thousand people

in the calculation that Hugland nnu the con
tinent would bo forced to part with gold
amounting to ( UUOJ.OQO ) to pay for imports
of American pram. Gillen ridiculed the esti
mate. Ho said that before SMOUOOI)00 , ) in

Rank of England and Bunk of Franco would
raise their rates of discount and
chock the drain. According to Gtf-
fcn , not bullion but securities and
exports will go to America to pay
for grain , Undoubtedly , he said , there will
bo a heavy drain of gold for several months
to como , but payments for grain were not the
solo cause for sucu a drain. An important
factor in the financial situation was tno sil
ver question. Stabio American houses , ho
declaicd , wcro making preparations to face
