"Well , I expect about 20,000 will bo horo. "
"Can you ledge and food that many I'1
' 'Certainly. The restaurants are able to
take cara uf themselves , and few cities are
bolter fixed In facilities for cleanly and rea
sonable meaU. A number of private citizens

advertently passed over and who are willing
lo entertain ono or moro of iho visitors will

"How many dnvs mlcht people count on

"Only two or three days at most. The

Philadelphia Uocord ( oom. ) : The toy

und Iho alllauco convention are coming
along.
Kansas City Journal ( rep. ) : Judge 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 menial
vigor.
Denver News ( nnll-Cloveland dem. ) : If
Grcsham will accept iho nomination , the
lubor organizations will easily ralso Iho
necessary funds lo carry on iho campaign.
Labor unions of Now Yont city would contribute -
tribute half the fund if necessary.
Denver Republican : No manor who may
bo selecled by Iho Omaha convention as Iho
llnrd rfarty candldalo for president , ho will
not carry a srrrglo northern siato , and oven if
ho should carry every state in the south It
will have no effect on the presidential elec
tion. Mr. Harrison will have a majority in
the electoral college , and his second term
will bo moro boneticial lo the country lhan
his flrsl.
Minneapolis Journal ( rop. ) : Judge Grosh-
nm's very decided denial of anj disposition
10 monkey wilh Ibo peoplo's party Im/z saw ,

people's party demagogues would bo im
mensely pleased lo lake tuo Judge iu Iholr

Helms a hound Judicial mind In a sound
body , and ho has no sympathy for the crank-
ism in any of ils manifold forms.
Chicago Herald ( dorn ) : Should the
psople's or farmers ) alliance party now
about to assemble In convention at Omaha
nominate such a man as Walter Q. Gresham
as a camhtruo for iho presidency and adopt
a rational platform , some Interesting results
might bo looked for. Grcsham would bo an
exceptionally strong candidate , who In spilo
ot pliilform vasurios would certainly via
borne electoral voles , enough douoiless lo
defeat both Cleveland and Harrison In the
electoral colleges. Neither of these prota
gonists bus any electoral votes to spare.and a
few pained from each would throw tbo
election into the house of representatives.
Once there , Hairlson , of course , would stand
uo show , but Gresnam might. Of the forty-
four stales represented by congressional
delegations. Iho democrals. have iblrly , ino
republicans tun. nnd Iho formers alliance
four. But Ibc farmers alliance is very
Blrong In n largo numbei of iho democratic
stairs , as it is also In certain of ibo repub
lican states.
Chicago Trimine ( ron. ) : The peoplo's partv
hold tbolr national convention in Omaha In it
few days and the loaders are boasting loudly
at what tboy &ro going to do and how they
will cut and slash the t'vo old parlies lo
pieces. The southern clllanco mon say thai
nearly all the negroes are with them and If
protected at the polls by Iho alliance while
men Iho blacks will poll 1,000,000 voles for
the peoplo's Uokot and carry eight or ton
southern slu'cs for Us presidential candidate.
There is no sort ot doubt that If Iho alliance
whites proffered protection lo tlio colored
brethren nnd saw lo it that their voted were
counted they could poll for iho ticket aust
colored vole In the south , enough lo break
Up ils nolldily. They could oasllv " win half
the electoral votes of the south "for their
presidential candidate , it would muko
things lively down in Dlxio if the alliance
whites concluded to- play thai game. They
would knock out the supporters of the Wall
street candidate as easily as Iho anti-lottery
democralM In Louibiana , by ino aid of ibo
colored vote , laid out cold ih'o loilory doiu-
ocriU.
Salt Lake Tribune ( rep ) : There is a
strong disposition on the purt of n lot of
lubor organisations and dissailsflod men gen
erally lo nominate Walter Q. Grojham for
president of the United States. Whetuer ho
will accept or not is 1)10 ) question. Ho has
had a presidential bee In b'.s bonnet a good
while. Uo does not like President Harrison
ever much. Ho li an eminent Judge and an
honest man. The probability Is If bo were
lo run ho would draw many republican voles
away from Prnsldunt Harrison and would
succeed In electing Mr. Cleveland. Ha can
not possibly imagine that ho , as a third
party candidate , could obtain a majority of
iho eleclorul votes. If ho runs. It will bo for
the purpose of defeating ibo republican
party. The question U : Will ho do It ! If
ho dee , It will bo with the Idea that by de
feating tbo republicans inU year his iblrd
pany movement will gam uirongth enough
to do what the lepublluaus did In 16 < W irl-
uaiphanliy elect a candidate. But bo is
hrewd enough to know thai wllh iho repub

Important political conventions.
Leading CundUIuten.
General Bidwoll or California and Mr. W.
Jennings Demorost of Now York are the
leading cooipctltors for the nomination and
their supporters are becoming excited over
the matter. Mr. Ba&com , a wall known
business man of Troy , N. Y. , Is the ebony
equine most mentioned as the best nomlnoo
in ttiooveut of both Dlawoll and Domorost
being ruled off.
Wbllo talk of a compromise Is hoard ,
neither General Oldwell's nor Mr. Domorest'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 rldiculo the Dcmorost claims as
baseless. General Bldwell has strong east
ern supporters In Now York and Pennsyl
vania , most of the loaders are for him. and
cx-Govornot St. John , who could probably
get the nomination if ho would take it , is
working hard for Did well and will place him
in nomination. Chairman Uicklo of the no
tional committee. Miss Willard , Mrs. Goupar ,
A. A. Slovens of Pennsylvania , Dr. Funk
and others , are supporting Bidwcll also.
DcmorcBt'ti .Strength.
The Doraorost supnortors arrived In lunror
numbers todav and it is evident that ho tins
a considerable following , though handi
capped by lack of support in his own state.
He is expected to stand well In the south ,
and perhaps in some of the western states.
Colonul II. S. Cbuvla , IJav. Sam Small , Prof.
Grnndison of North Carolina. John Lloyd
Thomas , secretary of the national committee ,
and Hoary 13. Hudson , of the "Blua and the
Gray , " are hU principal advocates. The
llm three named will , it is understood ,
make the nomination ana seconding speeches
lor Demorest.
Gideon T. Stewart of Ohio , will probably
bo put in nomination and the prohibition
presidential nomination being itself largely
of a complimentary nature , tnoro IB no toll-
Ina bow many persons will receive informal
ballots.
Tonight caucuses of the two lenders wore
held to arrange for the proper conduct of tbo
two booms. The Damorest men uro making
much of the stronir sentiment against
fusion with the people's partv , and ono
charge they ninko against Bid well la that bo is
inclined to withdraw ifVeavcr is nom-
Inutcu. They have out lithographs of Dom-
oiost , inscribed : "No Compromises. No
Fusion. No Deals. " The Blowcll men
retort that the Domorest oumr.aign largely
rests on financial contributions. The prohi
bition newspaper organs arc coining in for n
share of denunciation and the Domorcst fol-
loners and some otburs assail it vehemently
and chareo that Dumorost's lack of support
In New Yovk slate Is duo to machine mitth-
ods to which the Voice is a party.
OppObell to I'Uilloil.
The oppoiitlon to fusion with the people's
party is very marked , and Miss \Villard was
tonight apparently almost alone in advocacy
of it. The leaders of both the Bldwell ana
Domorcst factions , at least on tno surface ,
seem united in antagonism to this propos
ition. The people's partv is not condemned ,
but the disposition is strong in favor ol the
prohibitionists keeping up their o.vn organ
ization and picsldcntlal candidates in this
campaign , at least , and their fcollnc will find
an expression In the platform if the inoro
radical have their wav.
Ex-Governor John P. St. John of Kansas ,
not so long ago a presidential nominee him
self on the prohibition ticket , will bo in the
chair tomorrow at the first session of tbo
convention that Is to chose the party's na
tional candidates for IS'.t' ' . Taat was settled
before the adjournment of an important
mooting of the prohibition national com
mittee.
A. F. Wolfonbargerof Nebraska will bo
the bi'uiotnry of the convention. Tbo choloo
of u Nebraskan for the honor was recorded
as an ollvo branch to the peoplo's party , em
phasizing the intention of the prohibitionists
tout least help In wresting Nebraska , this
year if possible , from the grasn of ttio two
older parties this , too , whiithor a fusion of
the people's party and the prohibitionists bo
attempted or not.
A. A. Stuvons of Pennsylvania or I'rof.
Dlcltio will probably bo permanent chair
man.
man.A. E. Wilson of Illinois , J. A. Tnto of Ten-
tipssco and E. F. Slovens , the base ball edi
tor of the Boston Hnrald , were chosen for
assistant secretaries , and B. T Chahn of
Wisconsin for horgoant at-arras at the na
tional committee mceling.
Ko of rcrnonnlltlcfi.
There was a lively exchange of person
alities at the cummltlco mooting over the
adoption of the treasurer's report. Sam
Small hold certain names occurred too often
as having been employed by Chairman
Dlukla for prohibition work. Ho charac
terized them as "hungers on , " without olhor
means of support , and assorted that their
employment was in violation of the spirit of
a resolution offered by him and adontod in
Pittsburn.
B. T. Cuafln of WUconsIn scored Rov. Mr.
Small , and mincing no words said that gen
tleman's resolution was "an idloliu perform
ance. "
After Iho resolution had been ndopled
without division Chairman Dlcldo spoke , de
claring the resolution had not boon violated ,
a * it was understood when passed , and spoke
of the resolution as a "tomfool ono. "
Mr. Small. In n personal explanation , got
nn opportunity to reply and sailed into Mr.
Dickie for a few. minutes.
Walter Hill of Georgia , Joshua Levorinirof
Maryland. Colonel Bain of Kentucky , John
W. Hussoll of Uotrolt and A. A. Slovens of
Pennsylvania have boon suggested as good
vlco picsldeutlal Umber.
\VIHar.Pn lilrn.
Miss Frances Wlllurd's idea Is that tbo
prohibition parly organization should , however -
over , In any ovcut , remain Intact , and the
campaign bo fouguton prohibition lines , wbllo
the people's party organization should con
duct ihe battle from iholr siuo on the
Industrial issues , tuo common cud in view
making both organizations hannonlous. Miss
Wlllard admitted good hutnorcdly tjiut the
plan had already mot vfbloat opposition and
\vus likely to encounter more , with scant ou-
couratromoul as to ultimate success ,
Shosald , with a tinge of sarcasm , tbatsho
had already been aisailed as a "prohibition
mugwump. " Miss Wlllaid Intimated that
she was rather proud than otherwise of tbo
opllbot , and she would not bo stopped by
such methods.
Ono Incident of the day showed that the
prohibitionists are politicians and wunt
pledges like olhor politicians before giving
their votes , Mrs , Ubugar scut a telegram
asking General Bid wollU'ilio would with
draw in favor of Woatqr , the people's parly
man. The reply received today said : "Not
unless so Instructed bv Chairman Dickie , Mr.
St. John , Dr. Funk MUs Willard and
yourself. "
This nnswor was tnllsfactory , ns the two
first named nro especially hostile to fusion ,
but straightway n resolution , to make n with
drawal impossible , will bo proposed , giving
the national committee authority to fill a
vacancy on tbo ticket caused by death , resig
nation or other cause.
Helen Goncnr Talks.
The anti-fusion sentiment is very strong.
Mrs. Gougar saldt "Fusion with the poo-
plo's party would bo fully os unwlso ns
fusion with either of the two old parties.
The people's party is on record as n whisky
pnity quite as much as the democrats ot re
publicans. Even if the peoplo's party
adopted prohibition and woman suffrage , u
would bo unwlso , for their financial policy
would drive level beaded financier * from our
ranks. Their interest in the 'iubtroasury1
schema would close nearly every college in
the country and the college Is n largo part of
our strength. Oh , yes , wo nro just like the
republicans and democrats on silver uo ono
can tell how ono U on silver because ho or
she is in tha prohibition party. "
Hov. Sara Small Is uraing Walter B. Hill
of Georgia as a vlco presidential candidate ,
"with whom to moot the pooplo's party ,
which will nominate Tom Watson for vlco
president , on their own dung bill. " Mr. Hill
Is vlco president of the American Bar as
sociation , nn able lawyer and speaker , and
was formerly a democrat. Georgia , Mr ,
Small says , wants neither Oldwoll nor Dom
orcst , but is for the latter OB aealust the
former. The prohibition party , ho says , will
not bo bossed any moro than the old parties ,
and ho doesn't care if Domorest has not bis
own state , as It Is a factional affair. Tbo
Maryland delegation has a vlco president in
Joilan Levering and a half dozen other states
also have men for tho'placo.
Drew tlio Color I.lno.
Tbo color line has boon the cause of con
siderable excitement. Uov. C. M. Grandl-
son , D.D. , president of Bennett college ,
Urcor.sboro. N. C. , U ono of a dozen or moro
colored members of the convention who huvo
been sent hero from venous southern states.
Ho is a man of burly , liguro and a thorough
believer in muscular Christianity. At the
Gibson house ho bed no moro dlfllculty In
roglslerlng lhan thowhilo delegates from his
slate , but when It came to getting meals
ho wan refused attendance Unless ho
retired from n room separated from the main
dining hall. This alternative bo resolutely
declined , and ho wait left without food for nn
hour until practical/ ! nil the other guests
had vacated tbo place. The chairman ol the
North Carolina delegation declared that if
necessary the member * , about twenty in
number and all Caucasians except Grandl-
soti , wet Id remove to sqmo other hotel. Tbo
Virginia , Georgia and other colored dole-
gales avoided trouble py separating from the
whites on arrival at tha station and going
to boarding houses of which the proprietors
wore colored people.

WASHINGTON- . C. , Juno 23. The presi
dential campaign was fairly started In the
scnato today on the basis of Mr. Halo's reso
lution asserting tbo great bcnollts resulting
to Iho people of iho United States from the
republican policy ot "protection , " ' and ques
tioning the possible ortect ot the democratic
policy ot "tariff for rovsnuo only.1'
Mr. Halo gave history from his point of
vlow ot the recent Chlcigo convention , so
nr us the tariff plank of the nlatform Is con
cerned , stating that it was framed so as to
suit a candioato ; and declaring the Issuo. bo-
twcou the two parties had thus boon made
up , and the fight would bo xrazod on that
Issue until docldod by the suffrage of the
people next November. *
Mr. Vest , on tbo part of the democracy , ao-
copied the challenge and had much to say of
the oporatlon of the McIClnloy act In increas
ing the cost of dry goods and hardware , In
reducing wnires and in causing strikes and
labor troubles. Ho also commontcd upon the
cholco of the now chairman of the republican
national commlttoo ns being In line with the
policy of encouraging politics.
Appropriation Hills.
After the resolullon was laid asldo until
tomorrow without action , u conference report
ou the Indian and army appropriation bills
was presented and ugrocd lo. The latter bill
has still , however , ono question undisposed
of. It Is as to the payment for government
transportation ou the non-bonded portions of
tbo Union and Southern Pacific roads.
Tha agricultural appropriation bill was
passed and tbo consideration of Iho leg-
ulatlvo appropriation bill resumed. The
abolition or continuance of tie ( Utah commission -
mission was Iho suojcct of discussion on the
legislative bill , and that question wont over
without being decided and the sonata ad
journed.
Vest'n KomnrkR on the Tnrlir.
During Mr. Vest's speech on the McKlnloy
bill bo alluded to Iho existing labor trouolcs
at Carnoglo's Homestead Iron works , near
Pitlsburg. And yet , ho said , that gentleman -
man ( Carnccio ) had telegraphed from his
castle In Scotland congratulations to Presi
dent Harrison on his renomlnatlou ; had ar
rayed his pollco and armed and
equipped them to put down his own
laoorcrs and workmen and bad sur
rounded his establishment \\lth nn
eleven foot wall. For what purposes ) To
protect himself against iho neoplo of the
United Slates under this iniquitous system ,
and now the newspapers of the counlry
( Vest said ) were full of rumors of war be
tween Carncglo's conmany and its own la
borers , ' -the recipients of bounly of which
Iho senator from Malno had spoken so
eloquently today. " No wonderMr. Carnegie
had congratulated President Harrison ou his
rouomlnatlon. Ho was tb a recipient of the
benefits of that system. Ho was glad that
the republican party had placed at the bond
of its national committee "another of the
same brood of politicians. "
' I know , " conltnued Vest , ' -ho is tbo man
who advised Armour to defy the sonalo of
Ibo United States and refuse lo obey Its
subpoanas. This man is nothing but a tool
of monopoly. He was the ablest and most
pliant Instrument In the hands of Armour
aiU bis company In ordorto rob tbo ceople.
nd especially the cattle raisers of the west.
Of course , ho is ut the head of the republican
national committee. . He Is the sort of a man
to do the work. Why should ho not be tnoro (
Armour's money and bis talent and monopoly
against tbo American people and the con
sumers of the country. Wo accept the issue ,
and , God willine , wo will stand by it uniil
rot one solitary democrat throughout the
country can ua found who will not admit
that this is the great issue , tbo overwhelm
ing ono now to bo determined uy the suf
frages of the people next November.
Mr. Hale As to the selection of ino chair
man of the republican national committee ,
the gentleman from Missouri has sought to
bring reproach on Mr. Campbell because of
his association as counocl with great monop
olies und great interesls. lias It gene out of
the mind of iho senator that ibo great con
vention of bis party in Chicago was domi
nated und controlled from beginning to end
by that great loader of the Cleveland hosts ,
ox-Secretary Whilnoy ? Does ho claim that
Air. Whitney is in no way associated or con
nected with any great interest !
Mr. Vest Does the senator say that ho Is !
Mr. Hale Thu greatest ot ull trusts , thu
Standard Oil company , IK the interest that
controlled the Chicago convention.
Mr. Vust I aslted iho senator categoric
ally wbolhcr ho charges that Mr. Whitney
lias uny connection whatever wilb the
Standard Oil company.
Mr. Halo I do not make any charge
against Mr. Whitney.
Mr. Yost Then it is utterly untalr and
unparliamentary to make any insinuation in
which a senalor is unwilling lo put in so
many words. I deny it. I deny it , on Mr.
Whitney's own slaloraont. Ho has no Inter
est whatever In the Standard Oil company.
Ills brothcr-ln-law Is a stockholder , uut I
have yet lo learn that a man is responsible

Mr. Halo Do you say , in terms , that Mr.
Campbell has a dollar of Interest in the

that the lighting was terrific and that the

aged and shipping 'in Ibo harbor was do-

The city was not captured , however , ns
was at first roporiod. The federal , artillery
made so vigorous a defense of tbo city that
the gunboat was forced to withdraw and
leave the town in ibo possession ot Iho

away tbo gunboat , which was expected lo
destroy the town or to force the federals to
surrender , has greatly incensed the govern
mo.it of Brazil. Captain Cindtdo dcs Santos
Lara , who commands Iho Marajo , Is severely
criticized by the authorities for falling to
take Iho city. It Is declared that his retreat
was not Justified , and that only cowardice or
sympjthy with the rebels prevented him
from being sjcrossful in the attack. A
council of war has bcon caUod lo Iry Captain
Lara for sedition.

At Iho meeting ot Iho cabinet today the
principal topic ot discussion was the vacant
secretaryship of stato. It is understood that
various gentlemen whoso nnmas have boon
propounded to the president for the position ,
wcro canvassed In their various attitudes
and the feasibility of promoting to tha posi
tion General Tracy , secretary of the navy , or
appointing General John \V. Fosier , formerly
of Indiana but for many years of this city ,
was talked over. It U staled upon tha
authority of n cabinet ofUcor that the presi
dent has concluded to maito an appointment
with a view to completing only the ro-
inalndor of Secretary Blalno's unfin
ished lerm , and with a view to
the appointment of another man
to UHI position on tha 4lb
of March next. This , It Is stated , probably
Indicates the appointment of General ! osier.
The president bus been Inclined for several
days 10 Iransfur to the vacant portfolio Sec
retary Tracy , ho having distinguished him
self in diplomatic affairs during Iho recent
controversy with Chili , and being a tralnoa
lawyer and tried executive olllccr , hut the
prcsldot.t would in that event bo called upon
immediately to till a vacancy in the Navy de
partment , and ho desires to rid himself of
filling olllces by making the ono appointment ,
Ceneral I'oslor'H ActUlty.
The only obstacle In iho way of the ap
pointment of General Foster to till out Iho
unoxplrcd term has been and U now the
general's connection with the department
as Its diplomatic attorney. Gononil Foster
has quite as much of the "department's busi
ness upon his hands as ho can complete dur
ing the next nine months and the president
has feared that to make him secretary of
state would imn.ilr bis services in his pres
ent capacity. On the other hand the presi
dent desires in the now secretary of state a
man who Is well vowea in the Boring sea
controversy , as Iho point at which these
complicated disputes nro lo bo entrusted to
arbitration Is near at hand and n high order
of skill In diplomacy Is demanded ns well as
familiarity with all the details of the < iucs-
llojs Involved.
U has about bcon decided that General
Foster could iissumo general supervision of
this won : and olhor uncompleted affairs
pending bofoio the department and at the
satno titno toke absolute control of iho details
without serious imnairmunl of any of the
governments' Interest * ami that altogether
the affairs of tlio department would bo bctlor
subserved by hU promotion lhan should ono
unfamiliar with the work bo selected secre
tary of stiuo. It is not therefore Jilioly that
Socrctarv Tracy will bo transferred to the
Department of stale , hut altogether probable -
able that General Foster will assume the
duties of the vacant portfolio.
