been hotly contested. The points in issue
wuro not very well defined. The official bal
lot was n people's ticket , nominated by a cau
cus held without regard to party linos. A
faction opposing the poonlo's ticket endeav
ored to defeat it , and , Jailing tocircnlatoa pe
tition in time to file their nominations with
the city clerk , resorted to the other provision
of the Australian ballot law , admitting the
insertion of names of candidates in ink. In
stead of using ink or pencil , however , most
of thorn used pastors with their candidates'
names printed thereon. The election board
discarded thcso ballots as illegal , according

by the opinion of the best legal minds of tbo

BrrrALo , N. Y. , April 5. A thousand
men bearing banners and transparencies
nnd headed by a band of music escorted ex-
Secretary Charles N. Falrchlld , ex-Mayor
Jlrny aud Hon. Frank L. Thornton tonight lo
Music hall , wboro were gathered S,000 people
o hear their protests ncalnst the ' 'jtiop ' con
vention" and their reasons for , revolting
ogainst the alleged bos&lsm which dictated
and dominated it. The assemblage included
nany ladle ? , some republicans and : i few
Hill democrats. Iho lllll democrats were
practically very mild , and only ono disturb-
nnro was raised by any individual and bo
was promptly expelled. Alucb enthusiasm
was shown.
John Ehrlbarhcr , president of the Erie
bounty Democratic club , Iho new organ-
zation formed by the Cleveland men , called
tbo mooting to order nnd nominated Mayor
Bishop for Iho presidency. His honor spoke
hopefully of the great movement to secure a
proper representnllon of Iho democratic
sarty at Iho national convention , and briefly
oulllned the history of the movement which
[ iromptod this mooting. Ho reminded his
aearers lhat they had seen a legislature of
no political significance controlled by psrty
leaders for selfish and oenonal reasons , nnd
assumed to be in the naino of democracy.
While party leaders were necessary they
would bo respected when content only to
execute the will of the party which had
honored them , nnd when they attempt to use
the party to further their selfish personal
ends they should bo rebuked.
Ex-Secretary Falrchlld was the first
speaker. Ho saidVo : oroposo to prove
our case by going to the people , by going to
our constituents , and asking them to give us
credentials with which to go to Chicago to
represent them. Wo propose to present our
case to the national convention iu Iho way in
which it invites us to do to make our argu
ments , to address ourselves to the reason
and Judgment of those who sit in judgment
upon our case , nnd Ihon wo propose to abide
by Iho result loyally und faithfully , and nil
w o nsk of our opponents is that they recog
nize our right to present our contest and
that they bo prepared , as wo are , to abide bv
the decision of the lasl Iribunal of Iho
parly.
Good anil True Doiuocmld.
"Wo are , however , told that our eontesllng
delegates will render impossible the nomina
tion of n candidate , because it will show
such n division in the party as will make it
dangerous to nominate anybody from our
state. Whysof Who proposes to bolt tbo
'
nomination J Who propo'ses not to abide by
Iho action ot the national convention ! Surely
the great org&nlzalions of Iho parly in ,
our city will not make any such threats.
They declare that they will support one
candidate ns loyally as another. f
"Had wo done nolhing would Ihe candi
dacy of Air. Cleveland been promoted
thereby , for it is of him I spenk'whon 1 say
that we injure his chances by our action.
Ought wo to have loft it to the world to say
that the democracy of New York knowi no
such man as Grover Cleveland ; lhat they
had never heard of such nn administration
as that which conducted thu government
from IbSSto 18b9. Wo hope this fact will bo
brought before the national convention ; lhat
the democrats of tbo stale of New York do
rumembor buch an administration ; that they
do know of the existence of such a man. Do
you suppose it would have then appeared
lhat Air. Cleveland could carry Iho slalo of
Now York , if New York shculd send no dele-
gallon who knew of his cxislencei"
Ex-Mayor Grace of Now i'ork Ihon spoke.
Ho said : "We , lee , are domocrals , but wo
think that democracy stands for something
moro than success in a game where personal
advantage is exalted above principle and
whore organization is extolled as the end of
parly efl'ort , und not the means through which
the political consciousness of the masses may
speak for itself. Moro than 10,000 names of
democrats , voters residing in Iho metropolis * ,
will without doubl sign u petition thai it U
their desire lo bo roproscnled at Chicago by
a delegation which will truthfully represent
the sentiments of a majority of the demo
cratic voters of Now York. "
Hill's Conrio .Severely Crltlclhcil.
Hon. Frank Thornton was the lasl speaker.
Referring to Senator Hill he said : "in his
reckless ramping for the nomination , be has
shown hitnsolf ready to juggle with the tariff
reform and lo laraper wllh Iho stability nnd
honesty of the people's money , to the in
evitable destruction of the democratic party
and the irrevocable ruin of the business of
the country. Within the last three monlhs
ho bus been tor tariff reform nnd against
larlff reform. Ho has been for free coinage
and against it , und has mysteriously strad
dled duo "south by north" upon it. And so
Ibis burlesque politician kicks and
twisls , nnd turns nnd bous , and
smirks and throws kisses nt the po
litical bald heads and tries to palm him
self off ns an innocent young 'Ihing nnd a
boauly nnd joy forever , ' and n Doisarleun
dream of grace , when all iho while ho is only
making an indecent exposure of himself as u
political strcol walker , offering himself body
and soul nt Ike low prlco of a vote or a dele
gate. The people are not prepared for a
shifty , shuflling , equivocal , prevaricating
candidate- for Iho highest honor in their t'ift ,
Wo condemn republicans , nnd rightly , for
lamncring with popular majorities to seat
their partisans on technical grounds ;
yet ono of Iho greatest achieve
ments for which Hill celouratea him
self was the capture of u btito senatorial
seat by the deliberate suppression of the
election returns and the counting out of an
elected member of that body. The presi
dency can never bo achieved by such a man ,
nor by such mr.thnds. Nor will the people
permit him 10 dictate a nomination or to balk
the gratification of their desire. From tbo
shifty , paltering , mlschloftmaking dema
gogue , they turn with abounding confidence
to the cafe , strong and steadiest democrat
who stands square to every wind that blows ,
who cares not to bo great , but rich in honest ,
notilo scivlco io the stale. "
Resolutions were adopted condemning the
February convention , ratifying the call for
iho May convention ut Syracuse , and dis
claiming any purpose to injure the party.

DETHOIT , Allch. , April 5. The municipal
elections held throughout this stale resulted
In victories for republican tickets In n num
ber uf democratic strongholds , while the
democrats were successful In others. The
great feature of 'the election was that re-
llplon and politick were mlJtod In n largo
number of towns , tin such cltlnt as Sagtnaw
Grand Kaptds , Port Huron and West Hay
Clly and In ( many smaller places
Iho nnti-Cathollo issue was a ktrong
one , calling out a tremendous vote. In most
places the roiult wns such as to give the antl *
Catholic clement 'grounds for claiming Iho
victory , although , In n mixed political situa
tion , there were other controlinir Issues. Out
of fitly or more ot the principal cities and
towns in the state the returns show victories
for the republicans f6r twenty-live , wbilo

WASHIXOTON , D. C. , Anrll 5. The republi
cans of the house , for the first time thU ses
sion , resorted to filibustering , and the enor
mous democraticirmjorily of two-thirds found
It impossible to overcome the skillful tactics
of Representatives Burrows and Payne aud
force the free wool bill to a vote. It has been
rumored for some time that tbo democrats
would attempt to pass the Springer bill be
fore the close of the legislature day in order
that It might hnvo a political effect in aiding
tbo democrats to carry Khodo Island. What
ever Intentions there was some anys ago of
rushing the bill through the house , there is
no doubt that the plan was finally abandoned
before the departure of Chairman Springer
yesterday for Virginia Beach.
It hail been generally understood by the
members that It bad been agreed by the com
mittee on ways and means ( democrats nnd
republicans alike ) that immediately alter
tbo house went Into commlttco of tbo whole ,
n vole should bo taken without debate on
Mr. Burrows' amendment , which was pendIng -
Ing to slrlko the word "wools" from Iho
flrst section. The effect of this amendment
Is , of course , to strike out the sense of the
bill. But when Mr. McMillln moved that
the debate on tbo Hrsl section bo limited to
ono hour Iho republicans rose in revolt and
demanded that two hours ba accorded.
ItcsortiMl to the I'lllbnstcr.
Pending a decision of the question ,
Speaker Crisp sooko sharply to Mr. Bur
rows In a manner which thai gentleman re
sented and compelled the republicans to re
sort to filibustering methods to accomplish
their ends. Under the ruloi the democrats
were powerless and the bouse finally ad
journed.
There is no Intention en the part of the
committee to bring a , cloture rule nnd Iho
flght will continue tomorrow with both sides
nrraj od ns they were when the Hag of truce
was raised this evening.
The light began when Hurrows moved a
recess until 4 o'clock , which was supple
mented by Payne of Now York with an
nmoudmant for a recess until 5. The repub
licans refrained from voting both on divis
ion and by tellers , breaking the quorum and
compelling the democrats 10 order tno yeas
and nays.
Mr. Payne's amendment was rejected
yeas , 112 ; nays , 1S3 ; but Mr. Payne was not
Idle and interjected another amendment , for
a recess until 430. :
Mr. Burroj.vs was doubtful whether this
recess would prove to bo long enough , and
moved an amendment extending the time lo
5BO. :

The tellers on the latter's motion reported
that there wore two gocllemon who were In
favor of 3yO : , vhllo there were twenty-five
who were opposed to it. But us this did not
constltulo a ouorum and Mr. Burrows np-
pearod so unoasv lhat his amendment would
not receive a full vote thallhe nays nnd yeas
were called. But Ibo yeas and nays did not
disclose a quorum , the vote standing : Yeas ,

Mr. Miller rose to move a call of the house ,

and voted it down. Yeas , . ' 17 : nays , 171.
Then Mr. Payne , evidently thinking that
the hours ilxod for Mr. Burrows for a recess
would not enable tbo members to obtuln a

tached lo It ( as offered by Mr. Hawley )
that whenever tbo president shall be. of tbo
opinion that the good of the service spo

Mr , Potiigrow moved lo slriKo out Ibo

went and to insert In lieu thereof tbo follow
ing : "The president Is authorized to dotiifl
otllcers of the United Stairs army to act as
Indian agents at all agencies when bo ahull

Air. Palmer argued against the pollcv of

argument and of Interruption of it by other
senators , tie appeared to bo sinrllca and sur
prised ut learning that there uero Indians

Ibo SUsolon Indians in South Duuoia were

yet they had agents over them ,
"With ibom , I hope not over them , " Pal
mer oxc'aimed.
Ho was informed that the Indians were allen
on a reservation , nnd.Mr. Allen told dim how ,
in the slalo of Washington , there were COO
Indians on a reservation immediately adja

zons of the United Stales aud voters , con
trolling their local affairs und county mat

that l'otK ) pounds ot bad bacon had
boon furnished by Armour ot Chicago.
Of course this wns very absurd , because the
contract with Armour iVCo. , was subsrquenl
lo Iho Sioux outbreak. Bul these newspaper

result , the writing or n letter by General
Miles to htm attributing the troubles at the

After Mr. Mandcrson concluded his speech
Mr. Dolph moved that the bill to absolutely
prohibit the coming of Chlncso persons into
Iho United States be laid before the senate
and referred to the committee on foreign re
lations. Ho said that the bouse , Instead of
acting on the Donate bill ou the subloct. hna
passed an Independent measure , as if it was
Iho intention of the house to prevent any
legislation on Iho subjncl. If il had amended
Iho senate bill , Iho mailer could have gona

ported lo Iho committee on foreign relations.
The question of assigning army officers to
perform the duties of Indian agents wns re
sumed and Mr. Cullom argued against the
proposition. Mr. Dawes ( having charpo of

lion is open lo debate it has been the prac
lice lo allow parties representing the two
sides , if possible , to cumo to some under
standing as to the time without bavin ? n
voto. With thot In view and for no other
purpose , I sought to maintain nn under
standing with Air. McMillln , who is in
charge of the bill , whereupon the speaker
assumed to say that acbato was out of order.
Of course I know that debate was out of
order , but it is the first time in my ex
perience in the bouse that n member has
been denied the opportunity to bring about ,
if possible , an amicable understanding. The
course of Iho sneaker was indefensible and
unbecoming Iho presiding officer of Iho

THKXTOV , N. J. , April 5 , Governor Ab
bott this morning yelood Iho bill legalizing
the He.idlnt ; railroad combine on tbo ground
of uncoustltutlonulily.
In his moraoranduin filed with the vote of
the Heading railroad bill Governor Abbott
says : "It is plain that members , of the legis
lature considered that they wrro , In passing
this bill , pursuing the settled policy of the
state whleh has beau to cncouruco rather
than to discourage the consolidation of rail
road corporations having n common Interest
in traffic. A careful explanation of thu act
falls to disclose any authority afforded by it
which would authorize or assist any com
bination to control the necessaries of life.
There is nothing which ouihori/os a control
of prices by the corporations uoyond the
natural rule of supply and demand , "
Tno governor madu iho point that experi
ence does not show that an In err-as o in the
price of an article transported Is a natural
result of railroad consolidation wboro Ihora
ore other railroad faclllllcs , Only a comb ! ,
nation of all ttio railroads carrying coal
across the state might occaiion such a result.
The governor roftrs to the hurried passugo
of the bill nnd the lmt > o < jslbility of tbo legis
lature lo weigh lis fuels fully. The reasons
which Inlluunocd them in its favor lire stated
as follow. ' ! :
First , that the now combination would
create a biroiif. competition to the oilier
combinations und result advantageously to
the public. Soctnnd , that the small oxpcnso
of bringing coal into tbo markets ot 11.o stnto
might decrease IU cost lo the consumer , but ,
adds tt'.e governor , whether or not tue con
sumer would gottho benefit , is a question.
The governor hays that the elli being passed
In the closing hours of the session , the mem
bers looked lo him before approving it , that
the latorpRts of iho people were protected.
He is satisfied there was no provision lo in
crease the cost of coal In Now Jersey , Uvrn
If there was thu bill protected the public , us
it provided for amondraonlor repeal. This ,
however , mighl necessitate the cnliinc , ' of the
legislature in extra session and he v.ould not
caru to leave IttgUlntlcn in such a M..ipo. It
would gho risy to embarasEincnU awl ex
penses.
The governor rails alloullon to the fact
that the cnmun.alion of rouds will reiluto
the cost ot transportation fur iho cou. coin-
pantos and Unit this rci'urllon ' is to i > o Iho
direct outcome uf the. privilege * granted by
the btuto , which means the people , where
fore , the saving PUffUi to belong In part to
the puoplo. The bill does not provide for
this , Such a contract was exported , The
governor , hownvor , think * tbr.t IcfMIMlva
approval would by necessary for the vallalty
of any such contract , and without HII.V cuch
btipuutlont ap noved , It u-oul t bo unwise la
confer the oowars fcouph. by the bill , i > v
th''reforo , disapproved it.
