Illinois , California , Wuiblnglon , Orajon And Georgia are Iho Ur t of the indopcndent convention arrivals , but none has moro than n single reprcsentallvo on the ground ns .vet , with the exception of Georgia , two ot whoso delegates catno In yesterday morning. These two nw C. C. Post , chairman of the tate conlral committee , nnd M. D. Irwln. They came in nhoad to arrange for nuarioM for iho balance of iho delegation , which will bo here Saturday morning. They ore stop ping at present at the Arcado. Mr. Post Is a newspaper man , and Is asso ciated with Congressman Thomas E.

Whenaskednsto thoattltudo of the Geor gia dclogallon regarding Ibo various candi dates , Mr. Post said that ho could not say definitely , a * no opportunity had boon offered the delegaics lo express ihoraselvcs. Ho believed , hownvcr , tbat they would ravor Weaver to n man , althoueh they would sup port any good man who stood squarely on cvorv plank in the platform. "How about Stowarl ot Nevada ! " he was oskcd. "Slowart isn't our man. " "How about Adams of Colorado ! " "Nor Adams. " "What's the mailer wllh iheml" " ' Veil , wo want something besides free silver.

" Vntulcrvuurt lor Second 1'lnoo. "I stuv something to that effect in the papers , but I don't believe all I see there. I am something of a newspaper man myself , you know. I think our delegation would pre fer Weaver lo any of Ihoso whoso names have as yet bean mentioned for the place , although Peffer , John Davis of Kansas or any man of that class would bo accepta ble. "I think Vanaervoort would give satis- faclion lo our people. " "What ! " yelled the reporterwho suddenly doubled bis own cars. "Why. you scorn surprised. What Is the matter ! " inquired the gentlemanly Georgian with much solicitude. "Ot' , nothing , " gasped his interrogator. 'I'm ' better now. Go on. " "Woll , wo dori't know much about Vnnder- voort down south ; bo is scarcely known at nil In our section , cut from what wo have heard wo thought ho was sound on oil parts of the platform. AVe though" ho would bu a good man for second place , aud thorn was soirio talk ot making the ticket Polk and V&ndervoort up to the tlmo Colonel Polk died. Wo wcro given to understand that VaudorVoOrt was vorv strong in the wcstnnd with his powerful Grand Army following would cement the different sections.

The south v/ants a woElorn man ; In fact she will nol go tor an eastern man. " "Nothing east of the Mississippi river ! " "Wo would rather como oui , hero some- whero. " "What figure are you going to cut In south ern politics this year ! " Wilt Split the Solid South. "I oellovo that wo will carry our state , and \vo are very sure of North Carolina. Some of tba states are not thoroughly organized nnd can hardlv bo carried , but wo will sweep Eomo of them. " "Then you will split the solid southP "It Is protly well split already. " "What will the convention do with prohi bition nnd universal suffrage. " "Nothing. Their advocates will bo In the convention as delegates aud will undoubt edly cxcrclso their rights and ideas as they choose tiolh before nnd after , but you must ' remember that this is a national convention of a political party and not a con ference of nil reform organizations like Ibo ouo In St. Louis. They wcro at liberty to urge the adoption of their Ideas thcro , but they won't cut much Of a liguro hero. " "H Is reported that Wauon will not bo a candidate for the vlco-prusldcntial nomina tion 1" "That Is correct. His name will not bo presented , neither will nebo bo here. Ho has been iu Washington over since congress convened , and during that tlmo has not bcca ouUsiJo Ihu oily limits. Ho will not leave tbuio until con- press adjourns. They tried to got him homo to took after his interests , as his onponcnl Is already stumping Iho district against him , but ho wouldn't go. In reality , he don't need to. " " W hat Is Hov.

He's a holy terror on the stump , nnd boy expected to catch a lot of our fellows by pulling bun ou our platform , bul Ihoy will slip up. Whenever ll is mea- tioiiod to our boys thov Just tuck tbolr thumbs under their suspenders and laugh. Ho can't got their votes. " Ouo llrmlmm Delegation , J. C.

Ho wouldn't favor Stowarl , because il v.-oula look Jusl as though Ihoy wanted to tap the Nevada man's barrel , and that Isn't what they are aflor. They dou'l wanl lo nomlnatu a man Just because ho has a lot of money to throw into ino campaign fund. Amunir the lolcj-ut - .

Gibson , lately ouo ot tbo editors ot the Farmers Alliance of Lincoln , thinks the Independents should take a stand on the tariff , and ho has formulated a plank for the platform that bo expects the Nebraska dele gation will Introduce and urge upon tbo con vention. "The people's party Is coming Into power In the near future , " says Mr. Gibson. "It Is therefore necessary' that It should settle upon a tariff policy of Its own Ihnt Is just and wlio. The land , money and transportation questions wo agrco uro vastly moro Imnort- nnl. But wo ought to know what is right , what will bo just botwcon ourselves ns American citizens having equal rights , and what Is for our interest as u nation in Iho laws which nffcct international commerce. "Tho republican party has boon given much credit for the reciprocity clause of tbo McKliiloy bill. It was this one aection of the bill , nearly doubling ihc amount of sugar Iho poor man could got for $1 , which the people ple appreciated. And they want more reci procity , If thai is what it is. But thoropuo- lican party cannot clvo it to them. If it puts articles on the free list which now yield a revenue it must Increase the tariff on olhor articles in make good Iho deficiency for gov ernment expenses. "This furnishes the people's party n grand opportunily. The people's parly alone pro poses a new way , or new ways , of raising revenue. Wo demand a graduated income tax. Much , If not ull , of our revenue for federal expenses can ba raised In this way. It can also , to any degree wo wish , bo raised by taxing equally all Internal commerce whenVo take possession of the railroads and tlx freight rates. The revenue thus provided for would leave the nation free to ncgotla'.o reciprocity treaties with nil countries whicb vould open Iholr pales freclv lo us. "Tho ideal commercial slate is free , unro- strlcted , mutual cxchango of surpluses with all countries. But the only way wo have to force open the gates of other nations for our goods is by keeping their goods from our mat lieu by means of a prohibitive tariff. whicb will make them willing to open to us If wo will open to tham. Wo ihereforo pro pose for Iho consideration of Iho convcnlion Ibis progressive reciprocily plank : " 'Wo demand reciprocily with all nations which can ba Induced to onan their marKcU to UK for tbo tree interchange of suplusoj , and defensive discriminating tariffs against those nalions whicb lax our producls. Wilb those nations which discriminate against part of our products , equal tarllT discrimina tion ui/ainst such of their pioducts as wo can proiiuco ourselves or boat dispense with.

A roll call by states on the udnptlon of the minority report tlmillv brought tbo matter tea a focus. It resulted in the defeat nf the mi nority report bv a vote of U50 to 72 , and the majority report was adopted Although the effect of the ballot mUbt easily promote or retard the Interest of Dinnorost of New York ( or tha presidential nomination.

This important action was anticipated in these dispatches last night. On account ot the absurd stories which nave been published Iu democratic newspapers ot allotted disagree ments between Mr. BUtno and Mr. Foster In the Canadian ncgotlatlocs the nom ination of Mr. Foster was at once followed by rumors that the frlonds of Mr. Blaine in iho sonata would opposa his con firmation. This Idle rumor , which was only another device ot the democrats to encourage the falsa statements about dissension In tbo republican ran us and among republican leaders , met a prompt deathblow by the im mediate and unanimous contlrmatlon of Mr. Foster. It is well understood that Mr. Foster's tenure - uro of tbo ofllco of secretary of state will terminate on March 4 next , when President Harrison wilt again bo Inaugurated and when he will announce his now cablnoU Air. roller's rosltlon. Tbo appointment of Mr. Foster is therefore oiily a temporary one , designed to bridge ever the Interval between Ibo resignation of Secretary Blaine and the beginning of the second term of this administration. The up- polntment of Mr. Foster , although tempo rary , is especially desirable , not only on ac count of the personal character and diplomatic accomplishments of the appointee , but also because of his peculiarly intimate acquaint ance with the business ot the State depart ment In general and especially with the dn- lails of the most Important question now before that department the settlement of tbo Bering sea controversy with England by arbitration. The residence of General Fester had no part in his selection. Ho is not appointed because ho happens to bo n citizen of the president's own state , bis merits alone recommending him to the place , nnd surpris ing as It may seem on the eve of a campaign , the statement is-absolutely true that bis up- polntiront was not dictated by political mo tives. Ex-Chairman J. S. ClarKson ot Iowa will accept a position upon tbo executive commit tee of tha republican national committee and devote his tlmo and energies to the republi can cause until November. When Presi dent Harrison on Monday told Mr. Clarkson why it would bo advisable for some other man to bo chairman of the na tional commlttco ho oxpiossod the utmost personal regard for the retiring chairman and suld that ho hopoJ In the now organiza tion Mr. Clarkjonwould have a position that would place bun la close communica tion with the candidate and call out all his besf-efforls for the purty. Ho told Mr. Clarkson further that there- was nothing personal between thorn so fur ns ho himself was concerned , and he sincerely hoped they would continue to be , as they bad for years , Ihe best of friends. Will Work InVo r York. Mr. Clarkson. It is understood , will bo lo cated In New York , and waite Chairman Campbell will talto immediate and personal control of the Chicago branch of the commit tee , ho will feel that the Now York end Is in experienced hands. Thera was some doubt last night whether Land Commissioner Carter of Montana would accent the secretaryship of the national committee. Mr. Carter bellevo ? that ho could materially assist in making Montana purely republican thU year , including the legisla ture , which will elect a United States sen ator , If ho could pivo the state his individual attention , and for tbat reason ho did not think ho'should glvo all his time to the na tional comtnlttoo , but bo has decided to re- sicu from the coinmlssloncrslup of the land ofllco and will wade Into bis commlttoa work at once.
