King Hurried Awuy.
Tonn , Aug. 10. This city was
thrown Into a stnto of Intense oxoltnmont
when the nnnouucomont appeared In this
morning's papers tbnt Governor Buchannn
luid commuted the sentences of H. Clnv King ,
who was to have boon hanged on the 12th
tnst. for the murilor of U. II. Poston.
This morning's ApDoal-AvnIiincho , In dis
cussing the subject , said : "Tho governor's
power In the matter Is absolute nnd exclu
sive. The responsibility Is his alone. Ho Is
not required to give reasons. Ho muy yield
to any passing caprlco , to appeal to his
sympathies , to prejudice , and yet his author
ity remains Indisputable and supreme. If
his determination of the King caio Is to bo
tnkon us a precedent , then wo BOO no reason
why any other criminal should ever bo
hanged In Tonncssoo. King , In cola blood ,
after careful deliberation , shot down David
H. Poston , unarmed nnd unsuspecting.
Tboro could not have boon a murder rnoro
heinous. "
Hitler Words of Condemnation.
Discussing the rovlow of the rase by the
supreme court , the Appoal-Avalancho says
the court did not overlook uny phase of the
caso. "Tho governor , " It continues , "has
brought nil this to r.aught. Having llio
creator power to save , ho has root the court's
power to condemn and has whUtlod the lat
ter Juxment down the wind.Vithnstroko
of his pen ho has given hope to every mur
derer In the jails of Tennessee. Ho has rebuked -
buked the jury and made light of the state's
highest tribunal of justice. It were infinitely
bettor If the Jury and tno trial court had
bai'.o King go froo. It were better If the
governor granted on absolute pardon. Ho
has acted without the support of ttio trial
Judge , the jury or the prosecutor , usually an
essential prerequisite in gubernatorial clem-
enry , and it now remains tor King's art to
solve the quostlon of his freedom. "
From the livening Selmetttr.
The Evening Scimotar voho-nsntly de
nounces the governor In a sensational edi
torial abounding m suoli sentences us those :
"Ho has snit upon the courts of the state
and nation nnd held out his hand to save an
ufsassin In whoso person was centered and
upon whoso fate depended the quostlon
whether money and influence In the south
was BUftlcier.t to ruako a distinction between
persons convicted of cold-blooded murder.
The rescue of H. Clay King from the gallows
after n curotul rovlow of thn evidence on
which ho wns condemned was a crime moro
damnublo even than the murder of Poaton.
"Ho has risen nbovo all law , all right , all
justice. What King did as a cltiron ho has
done as the chiuf executive of the state. Ho
has taken tbo law into his hands. Ho bus
Instilled the murder of Poston. Ho has saved
the assassin. Ho has taken the mnoklng pistol
tel from King's hand , stepped into nls shoes ,
dipped bis hands in the blood of bis victim
ana trampled upon the already outraged law.
Ho has turned a deaf car to the pleadings of
the victim's family for juitlco. Ho has made
the governor of the state the champion of
murderers.
"If Buchanan should ba shot down from
behind n pillar on tbo portico of the capitol
today ; If King should bo slain on his way to
the penltentlory , who shall say that the gal
lows would bear Iruit. "
Hurried to tint I'enlteiitliiry.
Those publications aroused intense feeling.
A muss meeting was arranged for tonight nt
which Governor Buchanan wus to have been
hung In oftlpy. It was civon out that the
jail would bo attacked and the notorious
prisoner lynched. So great was the anxloty
that the criminal judce , J. J. Dubosc , issued
tbo following order lite : this evening :
It appearing to the court that there Is now
undue cxcllomunt In the public mind because
nf commutation ot thu sentence of II. Cluv

manufacturers and members of the Amal
gamated association today. The agreement
was reached at 10:31) ) tonight , when the scale
was signed , and tha conference has been ad
journed.
By the terms of the agreement the basin

reduced 10 per cont. There are a few minor
concessions In the other departments , but
just what they are cannot bo learned tonight.
There was a hard light on the puddling scale ,
but the manufacturers llnally consented to
pay the old scale upon the workers conced
ing the reduction in the llutsblug depart
ment.
ment.Work will now'bo resumed here as soon
as it is possible to goT the mills In operation.
While the sottlcrilont directly affects some
2.,000 , or 30,000 skilled workmen In the
Amalgamated association , fully 100,000
others are interested ; The news of the &lgn-
Inc of the now scale was received with great
rejoicing , not only by the mill owners , but
everyone in this vicinity.
The sottioment only effects the t'lttsburg

m. , for the state contra ! commltteo met nt
the Merchants last nighlund sMdso. That Is ,
n pnrt ot the commltteo met and ihtis ex
pressed themselves , for there were only half
of thorn present. Toba Castor wns thcro
with freshly ventilated whUkcrs and n now
straw hat and frisked around among the
boys , seemingly unconscious ot the fact that
tho.Samosot braves nro cooking up u deal to
secure his divorce from the proud position
thal ho luis beld sniC3 the Chicago convon-
"lion and the substitution of Churloy Ogden
In his pluco. 1'jrliapi it's ' just as well that
Tobias don't know it , for ho wouldn't glvo It
serious consideration until It was everlast
ingly lee lute , but It is true just the same Unit
thcro is just such a kotllo of grief a-brewin' .
Jim North of Columbus and .Tim Hubbto of
Fulrbury were there , us big ns lifo and fairly
recognizable , whllo the two most conspicu
ously ulnont individuals were the other two
Jims Crawford ot West Polr.t nnd Uoyd , who
works for Mr. F. U. Morrlssoy In the ofllco
of thu chief oxccutivo at Lincoln. Mr , Morrissey -
rissoy was on hand , however , so the usual
variegated uorsonncl ot the commltteo was
preserved intact.
Others \Vlio Were There.
Tha merino-bordered countenance of John
E. Shervin of Fremont ueumed benignly
fromunUura freshly Ironed silk hat , but
Mr. Sharvin didn't tall iho boys thut ho
would llko awful well to fold to his bosom
the gubernatorial nomination this yoiu. Ho
know it wouldn't do nny good.
Among the other patriols were Charles

John M. Moan of D.ikota county dropped
In for u few minutes in connection with ttio
lieutenant governor's job , although his inno
cent , guileless i-mllo when ho assured every
body thut ho wus seeking nothing at thu
hnnds , of his party made some of thorn bo-
ncvo bo roallv meant wnut ha said. Ono
thing is dead sure Mr. Moan's ' friends
haven't laid down because of his professed
indifference.
Vs the commiHoo tiled up the stairway n
7-year-old i-on of Italia stationed himself on
thu siduwulk and extracted from four tor
tured strands of follno mtcstinn u few dis
connected bars of "ISluo Hells of Scotland. "
The lad didn't understand his business , for
It wasn't that kind of u crowd" . 'Iho "Dead
March. In Saul" would have been Iho proper
diner under the circumstances , but ns It was ,
thii boy escaped with bis llfo and a solitary
nickel that John J."O'Connor foolishly hold
toward him to decoy him within his grasp.
After the committee scttlod down lo bust-
1103s it got ulonu bwimminsl.v , for there
really wasn't very much to do , and it Is
under Just such circumstances as that thut
this committee particularly shines.
Will 11 ii v < ! n IJ.iyllght Convention.
After fixing thr > dnto lor the convention , it
took some time to decide whether It would
moot at 10 o'clock or" In the afternoon. It
was urged that the democrats of Nebraska
bad hold enough midnight conventions and
that it was tlmo for ihom lo do n little work
in open daylight , but the argument would
hnvo lost the duv but for the statement of n
member to the effect thut the republicans
hail nominated u corking good ticket as the
result of opening their convention at 10
o'clock , nnd that If this in Itself was so po
tent for n good ticket the democrats certainly
couldn't alTord to ignore it. This argument
wus Incontrovertible , and that Is why ton
democratic convention will moot ut the sumo
hour ns did tbo republican gathering in Liu-
coin last Thursday.
Then the apportionment was ordered to re
main tbo same as for the lust stale conven
tion , being based on the vote cast for
Spr.iguo for secretary of state two years ago.
It will give llio convention V ! . > delegates ,
Uougius county being entitled to 10. ) , al
though tbo local leaders may tuko It into
their heads lo send UOO , just as they did last
spring.
Some I.lttle Itesolvcj I/.ild Down.
The members then thought it proper to ex
press Iholr indignation ever tbo action of
prominent papers both hero nnd abroad thut
had in-luted the story of W. U. Shryock's
alleged suicide and defalcation. It wns
stated that It was not certain that It was u
case of suicide , and that if tiicro was n shortage -
ago there wns a bond lo cover it. A com-
tnittco of thrco was nppolntod to dr.ift suit
able resolutions in memory of this deceased
member of the coiii'tillleo , and to censure t.ho
pauers for priming a "villainous Plamloruf
a most excellent man , Inspired by the per
sonal mallcnlty of people in the community
In which ho lived , when thura were no
( . rounds for tha suspicion of suicide..1'
A resolution wus naopted declaring In
favor of placing in nomination a "full * ticket
of clean , able men and w.iglng In their behall
an acllvo , nggroisivo campaign , " and declar
ing further tnai. from Informailon received
from reliable sources In nil parts of llio state
thcro were very good chances of success ut
the election in November.
A lengthy discussion ensued over the prop
osition to Invila Hon. W. J. Hrvnn and Gon-
criil Adlal E. Stovcnson to uddross the con
vention on the night of August 30. Jt wus
slated thut Tobo C.f-tor had arranged to
huvo the vice presidential nomlnco speak at'
the stale fair on "democrat duv , " September
8. and that caused iron bio , because several
of the members were opposed to "dcmo < : rat
duy" on general principles. It wns urged by
ils'supporters ihut thcro would Lo "repub
lican day * and "indopc-ndunt day" nt Iho
fair , and Hint if the democrats didn't ' also
huvo a day the folks wouldn't know they
were "In It. "
Doemi't lllo thn Ideii ,
Mr. Lollow insisted on the appointment of
u committee to draft resolutions disapprov
ing of "democrat day"1 at the stuia fair or of
In any wuy turning the ntalo fair Into u
political gathering. He said ho didn't bo-
llovo in stulo fairs anywny ns they were
managed in Nebraska and ho didn't think
Hint the cninii.lllou should tukoofllclul notice
of the intention of the fair management to
ring In the democratic party ns u sideshow.
Furthermore , ho know tha : It would bo a
Kigiml fulluic If buch n thing wns attempted ,
as the fttato fair couldn't bo turned Into : i
democratic mooting with any succosi and
intimated tUut It nocdod an audience mudo
up entirely of democrats to make u
.tboioughly succcsiful andsatUfnctory demo-
orullo mooting , llo liMlaccd that it wns not
only out of place but that nothing would bo
gained by it , as It wouldn't help * democracy
out through the state a bit.
LonU Helmrod favored ft , and wanted not
only S'uvoiii-nn ' but Governor Holds of Iowa
ns well. Ho thought that Hryun's talk
would bo ono null for convontlon ulght.

who are opposed to fusion on any grounds ,
but there It reason to bcllovo that on a rea

The pscplc'a party men who are in favor
of fusion generally remark that democrats
