What the Tapers nro Saying In AtUnnco of
the Convention.
Philadelphia Kacord ( aem. ) : The toy
pistol Is a lomlnder that the Fourth of July
und the alllauco convention are comiug
alone- .
Kansas Clly Journal ( rep. ) : Jndgo Gresham -
ham will not accept the third parly nomina
tion for president , if it is offered him. Judge
Grcsham is still In full possession of his in
tellectual faculties und his customary mental
vigor.
Denver News ( anti-Cleveland clom. ) : If
Grcshnm will accent the nomination , the
Inbor organizations will easily raise the
necessary funds to carry on tbo campaign.
Labor unions of Now Yonc city would con-
Irlbulo half the fund if necessary ,
Denver Uopublican : No matter who may
ba selected by the Omaha convention as the
third tfany candidate for president , ho will
not carry a STOBia northern stale , nnd oven if
ho should carrv every state in the south it
will have no effect on the presidential elec
tion. Mr. Harrison will have a majorltv in
the electoral college , and bis second term
will bo moro beneficial to tbo country than
his first.
Minneapolis Journal ( rep. ) : .ludgo Grosb-
am's very decided denial of an.j disposition
to monkey with the people's parly buzz saw ,
on his part , was what was expected. The
people's party demagogues would bo im
mensely nlcascd to take the Judge Iu ibolr
nol , but Judge Grcsham Isn't built that way.
Ho has n bound Judicial mind in a sound
body , and ho has no sympathy for the crauK-
ism in any of Us manifold forms.
Chicago Herald ( dom ) : Should the
psople's or farmers i alliance party now
about to assemble In convention at Omaha
nominate such a man ns Walter Q. Gresbam
as a candilalo for iho presidency and adopt
a rational platform , some Interesting results
might bo looked for. Grcsham would bean
exceptionally strong candidate , who in spite
of platform vuzurios would certainly vin
bouio electoral votes , enough doubtless to
defeat both Cleveland anu Harrison In the
electoral colleges. Nellherof Iheso prola-
goiusU bus anv electoral votes to spare.aud a
few pained from each would Ihrow tbo
election Inlo the house of representatives.
Once Ihoro , Harrison , of course , would stand
no show , but Grcsham might. Of thu forty-
four stales represonied by congressional
delegations. Iho democrats have thirty , tno
republicans ten. and the farmers .illianco
four. But the farmers alliance is very
slrong in u largn number of Iho domoeraii'c
states , as it is ulso In certain of the repub
lican states.
Chicago Trlouno ( rep. ) : The people's party
hold tholr national convention iu Omaha In u
few days and the leaders are boasting loudly
of what they &ro going to do nnd how they
will cut nnd slash the fvo old parties to
pieces. The southern alliance mon sny thai
nearly nil the negroes are willi them and if
proleclcd at Ihe polls ey Urn alliance whllo
men Iho blacks will poll 1,000,000 voles for
iho people's ticket nnd carry clpht or ton
southern stutcs for Us presidential candidate.
There is no sort of doubt that if the alllunco
whites proffered protection to the colored
brethren mid saw to It thut their voles were
counted they could poll for iho ticket a vust
colored vote In the south , enough to break
up Us solidity. They could easily win half
the electoral voles of iho soulh for Ihcir
presidential candidate. It would make
things lively down in DIxlo If the alliance
whites concluded to- play that game. They
would knock out the supporters of the Wuil
street candidate as easily as the Hull-lottery
democraiM in Louisiana , by tno aid ot iho
colored vole , laid oul cold the lottery dom-
ocrtl * .
Salt Lake Trlbuno ( rep ) : There Is a
Strom ; disposition on thu part of a lot of
labor organisations and diss.itlsllod men gen
erally lo nomliialo Walter Q. Grojham for
president of the Untied Suites. Whether ho
will uccepi ornol is thd question. Ho has
had n piesidcntial bee In his bonnet a good
whllo. Ho does not like President Harrison
overmuch. Ilo is an eminent Judca and an
honest man. Tlio probability 1s If bo were
to run ho would draw many republican votes
away from President Harrison und would
succeed In electing Mr. Cleveland. Ha cannot -
not possibly imagine that bo , us u third
party candidate , could obtain a majority of
thu electoral votes. If ho runs , it will ba for
the purpose of defeating the republican
imrly. Tht question Is ; Will ho do III If
ho doe , It will bo with Iho Idea that by de
feating the republicans this year bis third
party movement will gam strength enough
to do what the icpubllcaiis did In l&W tri
umphantly elect a candidate. But bo Is
shrewd enough to know that wllh iho repub
lican party torn to pieces by bis candidacy ,
nnd wllh iho election of Mr. Cleveland , the
probabilities would bo strong that tbo demo
crats would hold power for n great many
years to couio.

CINCISN-VTI , O. , Juno 23. All the neces
sary preparations have been made nnd a' 40
o'clock tomorrow morning the sixth annual
convention of the prohibition party will begin -
gin Its session In tbo big Muslo hall In which
Hancock was nominated. The convention ,
unless an effort , not now very promising , to
patch diffotenccs anil agree on a now man
shall be successful , will have a fight on hand
for the honor of being tbo presi
dential nominee of Iho parly , a state of things
which is n novelty to the cold water advo
cates. Thn light Is throwing an air of a real
political convention ov'or the procooJincs
and what , with lithographs and badges ot
the two rival candidates , campaign head-
quarli-rs , charges and counter charges Had
night conferences , an outsider muv sttaloh
something of the spirit which pervades inoro
Important political conventions.
I.tmdlllC Cuuilldiitut.
General Hldwoll of California and Mr. W.
Jennings Demorost of Now York nro the
lerullnr competitors for the nomination and
their supporters are becoming oxcitcd over
the matter. Mr. Dascom , a well known
business man of Troy , N. y. , is the ebony
equine most mentioned as the best nomlnoo
In the event ot both Blawell aud Domorcst
being ruled off.
Whllo talk of a compromise is board ,
neither General Oldwell's nor Mr. Domorost's
friends look on It with favor , and many dele
gates think the matter has gene so far
that It must bo fought out. General Bid-
well's friends claim his election on the first
ballot and ridicule the Dcmorost claims as
baseless. General Uidwoll has strong east
ern supporters in Now York and Pennsyl
vania , most of the leaders are for him. nnd
cx-Governoi St. John , who could probably
get the nomination If ho would lake it , is
working hard forUldwcll and will place him
in nomination. Chairman Dickie ot the na
tional committee , Miss Willard , Mrs. Goupnr ,
A. A. Stevens of Pennsylvania , Dr. Funk
and others , are supporting Bldwcll also.
Dcmorcst'fi Strength.
The Doraorost supporters arrived In larger
numbers todav and It is evident that ho has
a considerable following , though handi
capped by lack of support in his own stato.
He is expected to slued well In the south ,
and perhaps In some of the western states.
Colonel II. S. Chuvls , Kev. Sam timall. Prof.
Grandison of North Carolina. John Lloyd
Thomas , secretary of the national committee ,
and Hoary B. Hudson , of the "Blue and the
Gray , " are hU principal advocates. Tbo
first Ihreo named will. It Is understood ,
make the nomination and seconding speeches
lor Demorust.
Gideon T. Slowart of Ohio , will probably
bo put in nomination and the prohibition
presidential nomination being Itself lamely
ol a complimentary nature , there is no tell-
in ? how many persons will receive Informal
ballots.
Tonight caucuses of the two lenders were
helu to arrnniro for the proper conduct of the
two booms. Tbo Damorest men are making
much of the strong sentiment aealnst
fusion with iho peop.lo's party , nnd ono
charge they make against Bid well i.s that hois
inclined lo wllhdraw ifVeavcr is nom-
hinted. They have out lithographs of Dom-
orost , inscribed : "No Compromises. No
Fusion. No Deals. " The Bldwell men
retort that tbo Damorest n&mcaign largely
rests on financial contributions. The prohi
bition newspaper organs ara coming lu tor n
sbaro of denunciation and tbo Domorest fol
lowers nnd some others assail it vehemently
and charco that Dumorosl's lack of support
In Now Yovk state is duo to machine innth-
ods to which the Voice Is a party.
Opposed to I'anloii ,
The opposition to fusion with iho people's
parly is very marked , and Miss Willard was
tonight apparently almost alone in advocacy
of It. The loaders of both the Bldwell and
Domorcst factions , at least on the fturface ,
seem united In antagonism to this propos
ition. Tlio popple's partv is not condemned ,
but tbo disposition is sirong in favor ot the
prohibitionists keeping up their o.vn organ
ization nnd piosldcntial candidates in this
campaign , at least , and their fcollnc will llnd
an expression In the platform it the more
radical have Iboir wav.
Ex-Governor John P. SI. Jobn of ICnnsas ,
not so long ago a presidential nomlnoo him
self on the prohibition ticket , will DO in the
chair tomorrow ut the first , session of Ibo
convention that is in chose tbo party's na
tional candidates for IS'.VJ. Tnat was settled
before the adjournment of an important
meeting of Iho prohibition national com
mittee.
A. F. Wolfenbargerof Nebraska will bo
the st'ciotHry of tbo convention. The choloo
of a Nebraskan for the honor was regarded
as an ollvo branch lo Iho people's parly , em
phasizing the intention of the prohibitionists
to ut least help In wresting Nebraska , this
year If possible , from Iho grasp of Iho two
older pirtlcs this , lee , want nor a fusion of
the people's parly und iho prohibitionists bo
attempted or not.
A. A. Stevens of Pennsylvania or t'rof.
Dickie will probably ba permanent chair
man.
man.A. E. Wilson of Illinois , J. A. Tnto of Ten
nessee and E. ! ' . Stovbiis , iho base ball edi
tor of the Jioston Herald , were chosen for
assistant secretaries , and li. T Chuhn of
Wisconsin for sergeant at-arms at the na
tional committee meeting.
KxclniiiKO of IVrnniiillltlcs.
There was a lively exchange of person
alities at the commltloo mcoiliig over iho
adoption of the treasurer's report. Sam
Small ald certain nninej occurred too often
as having been employed by Chairman
Diuklc for prohibition work. Ho charac
terized them as "hungers on , " without other
means of support , and assorted that their
employment was in violation of the spirit ot
a resolution olTorod by bltn and adopted In
Pittsburg.
B. T. Chafln of Wisconsin scored Hov. Mr.
Small , and mincing no words said that gen
tleman's resolution was "an idiotio perform
ance. "
Alter the resolution had been adopted
without division Chairman Dicklo spoke , de
claring tbo resolution had not been violated ,
a ) it was understood when passed , and spoke
of Iho resolution an a "tomfool one. "
Mr. Small. In a personal explanation , got
an opportunity lo reply 'and sailed mlo Mr.
Dickie for a few. minutes.
Walter Hill of Georgia , Joshua Levcrlnirof
Maryland. Colonel Bain of Kentucky , John
W. Kussoil of Detroit and A. A. Stevens of
Pennsylvania have been suggested as good
vlco presidential Umber.
MUi Wlll.ir.l's lili-u.
Miss Frances Willurd's Idea Is that tbo
prohibition party organization should , how
ever , In any event , remain Intact , and the
campaign bo fought on prohibition lines , wbllo
thu people's party organization should con
duct the battle from their slue on the
Industrial issues , tuo common end In view
making both organizations harmonious. Miss
Willard admitted good bumorcdiy tjiut the
plan had already mot violent opposition and
wus likely to encounter more , with scant ou-
courufomeut as lo ultimate success.
She said , with n tinge of sarcasm , thatsho
hnd already been atsalled a a "prohibition
mugwump. " Miss Wlllara Intlmalod that
sbo was rather proud than otherwise of tbo
epithet , and sbo would not bo stopped by
such methods ,
Ono incident of the day showed that the
prohibitionists are politicians and wunt
pledges tike other politicians before ( riving
thulr votes. Mrs. Ubugar gout a telegram
asking General Bid well If' ho would with
draw in favor ot Wearer , Iho people's party
man. The reply received today said : "Not
tinlets so Instructed bv Chairman Dtcklo , Mr.
St. John , Dr. Funk , . Mlaa Willard nnd
yourself. "
This answer was satisfactory , as the two
first named are especlully hostile to fusion ,
but straightway a resolution , to mnltcn with
drawal impossible , will bo proposed , giving
iho national committee authority to fill a
vacancy on tbo ticket caused by death , resig
nation or other cause.
Helm Oonenr Talks ,
Tbo anti-fusion sentiment is very strong.
Mrs. Gougar saldi "Fusion with Iho pee
ple's party would bo fully tn unwlso ns
fusion with either of the two old parties.
The people's party Is on record as n whisky
party quite as much ns the democrats ot re
publicans. Even if the people's party
adopted prohibition and woman suffrage , it
would bo unwlso , for tbclr financial policy
would drive level beaded financier * from our
ranks. Their Interest in the ' < mbtroasury'
schema would close ifo.irly avery college in
the country and lha college is n largo part of
our slrcnglh. Oh , yes , wo are Just like the
republicans and democrats on silver no ono
can tell how ono is on silver bucauso ho or
she is in the prohibition party. "
Hov. Sam Small Is urmng'Walter B. Hill
of Georgia as a vica presidential candidate ,
"with whom to moot the pooplo's party ,
which will nominate Tom Watson for vluo
president , on their own dung hill. " Mr. Hill
Is vlco president of the American Bar as
sociation , an able lawyer nnd speaker , and
was formerly a democrat. Georgia , Mr ,
Small says , wants neither Bldwell nor Dom
orcst , but Is for the latter as acalust the
former. The prohibition party , ho says , will
not bo bossed nuy more- than the old parties ,
nnd bo doesn't care if Domorest has not his
own state , as It is a factional affair. The
Maryland delegation has a vlco president in
Joslah Lcvcrms aud n half dozen other states
also have men for tha'placo.
Drew tlio Color I.lno.
The color line has boon Iho cause of con
siderable excitement. Uov. C. M. Grandi
son , D.D. , president of Bennett college ,
Greensboro. N. C. , 1 $ ono of a dozen or moro
colored members of the convention who have
been sent hero from rcrious southern states.
Ho is a man of burlv , liguro und a thorough
believer in muscular Christianity. At the
Gibson house ho bed no moro difficulty In
registering than the whlto delegates from bis
state , but when It came to getting meals
ho was refused attendance \inless bo
retired from n room separated from the main
dining hall. This alternative bo resolutely
decllnod , and ho wan loft without food for nu
hour until practical ! ; nil the other guests
had vacated the place. The chairman ol the
North Carolina delegation declared that It
necessary iho member ) , about twenty in
number and all Caucasians except Grandi
son , wotld remove to same other hotel. The
Virginia , Georgia and other colored dele
gates avoided trouble py separating from the
whites on arrival nt the station aua poing
to boarding houses of which tbo proprietors
wore colored people.

to the pcoplo of the UnltoJ State * from the
republican policy of "orotectlon , " nna ques
tioning the possible effect of the democratic
policy of "tariff for rovsnuo only.1'
Mr. Halo gave a history from his point of
view ot the recent Chlcigo convention , so
nr us the tariff plank of the Platform is con
cerned , stating that It was framed so as to
suit a candlaato ; and declaring the Issuaba-
tweon the two parties had thus boon made
up , and the fight would bovagad on that
Issue until decided by the suffrage of the
people next November. *
Mr. Vest , on the part of the democracy , ac
cepted the challenge and had much to sav of
the operation of the McKlnloy act In increas
ing the cost of dry goods and hardware , In
reducing wares and lu causing strikes und
labor troubles. Ho also commented upon the
choice of the new chairman ot the republican
national commlttoa as being in line with the
policy of encouraging politics.
Appropriation I1I1U.
After the resolution was laid nsldo until
tomorrow without action , a conference report
on the Indian and army appropriation bills
was presented and agreed to. Tlio latter bill
has still , however , one question undisposed
of. It Is ns to the payment for government
transportation on tbo non-bonded portions of
the Union and Southern Pacific roads.
The agricultural appropriation bill was
passed aud the consideration ot the leg
islative appropriation bill resumed. The
abolition or r.ontlnuanco of tie | Utah com
mission was tlio subject of discussion on the
legislative hill , aud that question wont over
without being decided and tbo souato ad
journed.

During Mr. Vest's speech on the McKlnloy
bill ho alluded to the existing labor troubles
nt Carnegie's Homestead Iron works , near
Piltsburg. And yet , ho sold , that gentle
man ( Carnegie ) had telegraphed from his
castle In Scotland congratulations to Presi
dent Harrison on his rcuomtnatlou ; had ar
rayed his police and armed and
equipped them to put down bU own
laborers and workmen und had sur
ruuudcd bis establishment with an
elqvcn foot , wau. per what purposes ) Xo
protect himself against the people of the
United States under this Iniquitous system ,
and now the newspapers of tbo country
( Vest said ) wore full ol rumors of war be
tween Carncgio's company and Its own la
borers , lthu recipients of bounly of which
the senator from Maine had spoken so
eloquently today. " No wonderMr. Carnegie
bad congratulated President Harrison on bis
rauomlnattoa. Ho was tbo recipient of the
benefits of that system. Ho was glad that
the republican parly had placed at the head
of its national committee "another of the
same brood of politicians. "
"I know , " continued Vest , "ho is tbo man
who aavised Armour to defy the senate of
the United Slates and refuse to obey its
subpaanas. This man is nothing but a tool
of monopoly. He was the ablest and most
pliant Instrument In the hands of Armour
nn 4 bis company In order to rob Ibo ccople ,
und especially tbo cattle raisers of the west.
Of course , ho is at the head of the republican
national committee. He is the sort of u man
to do the work. Why shuuld ho not. bo tncrot
Armour's money nnd his talent and monopoly
against tbo American people and the con
sumers of the country. Wo accept the Issue ,
aud , God willinir , wo will stand by It unlil

that this is the great issue , tbo overwhelm

frages of the people next November.
Mr. Hule As lo Ibo selection of tno chair
man of the republican national committee ,
the gentleman from Missouri has sought to
bring reproach on Mr. Campbell because of
his association no counsel with great monop
olies and great interests , lias it gene out of
the mind of tbo senator that tbo great con
vention of his party in Chicago was domi
nated and controlled Irani beginning to end
by that great leader of the Cleveland hosts ,
ex-Secretary Whitney ? Does ho claim that
Mr. Whitney is In no way associated or con
nected with any great interest !
Mr. Vest Does the senator say that ho is }
Mr. Hale Tim greatest of ull trusts , the
Standard Oil company , IK the interest that
controlled the Chicago convention.
Mr. Vest I asked tbo senator categorically -
ally whether ho charges that Mr. Whltuoy
has uny connection whatever with thu
Standard Oil company.
Mr. Hale I do nol make any charge
against Mr. Whitney.
Mr. Vest Thou it is utterly unlalr and
unparliamentary to make any insinuation in
which a senator is unwilling lo put in so
many words. I deny It. I deny it , on Mr.
Whitney's own statement. Ha has no Inter
est whatever in the Standard Oil company.
His brother-in-law is a stockholder , but I
have yet to leara that a man is responsible
for his brother-in-law.
Mr. Hole Do you say , in terms , thut Mr.

WASHINGTON- . C. , Juno'JS. 1
At the meeting ot the cabinet today tbo
principal topic ot discussion was the vacant
secretaryship of state. H Is understood that
various gentlemen whoso names have boon
propounded to Iho president for the position
wcro canvassed In their various attitudes
and thu feasibility of promoting to the posi
tion General Traoy , secretary of the navy , or
appointing General John W. Foster , formerly
of Indiana but for many years of this city ,
was talked over. It U staled upon the
authority of n cabinet ofttcor that the presi
dent has concluded to maHo nil appointment
with n view to completing only tbo re
mainder of Secretary Blalno's unfin
ished term , nud with n view to
the appointment of another nun
to ihu position on the 4th
of March next. This , It Is stated , probably
indicates the appointment of General f osier.
Tbo president bus been inclined for several
days lo transfer to the vacant portfolio Sec
retary Tracy , ho having distinguished him
self tn diplomatic affairs during Iho recent
controversy wllh Chill , and being n Iralnoa
lawyer nnd trlod executive ofllccr. hut lha
president would in that event bo called upon
immediately to Ull a vacancy in the Navy de
partment , mid ho desires to rid himself of
tilling olllce : by making thu ono appointment- ,
( eneml roster' * Actlxlty.
The only obstacle In the way of iho np-
polntmont of General Foslcr to fill out the
unaxplred term has boon and U now the
general's connection wllh Iho department
us Its diplomatic attorney. General Foster
has qulto an much of the department's busi
ness upon his hands m hu can complete dur
ing Iho next nmo months nnd the president
has feared thai to make him secretary of
state would Impair bis services In his pres
ent capacity. On the olbor hand the presi
dent desires In Iho now secretary of state n
man who Is well versed lu the Boring sea
controversy , as Iho point at which those
complicated disputes are to bo entrusted to
arbitration is near at hand nnd n high order
of skill lu diplomacy Is demanded ns well as
familiarity with ull tbo details of the ques-
lloas Involved.
U has about been decided that General
Foster could ussuino general tmporvlslon of
this work and other uncompleted affairs
pending bofoio the department aud at lha
same time take absolute control ot the uetalla
without serious impairment of any of the
governments' interests and that altogether
iho nlTalrs of the department would bo betlor
subserved by hU promotion than should ono
unfamiliar with Ihe work bo selected secre
tary of stato. It is not therefore jilioly that
Socreiarv Tracy will bo transforroa'to iho
Department ot stale , but ultocothor prob
able that General Fester will assume the
duties of the vncunt portfolio.

thut nt the next election the so-callod inde

Nebraska will have tn do lols ot work before
