HARMONIOUS 8AMO.SKTS.

Almost n Clretin.
Possibly the best review of the meeting of
the Same-sot club last night htthe Hoyd
(
opera house building was the comment of a
retiring member. Toward the end of Jho
meeting ono of the "unterrllied" emerged
from the hall of secret confabula
tion , buttoning up Ills overcoat
nervously pressing the electric
button of the elevator boll , ho muttered :
' There's too much humbug about them
meetings. A lot of blatherskites got in there
nnd change a business meeting Into a circus.
I'm tired of it. "
Ha looked tired. There was enough at the
meeting to make any man tired. No less
than four iidjurnnicnts wcro taken , .lust
ns soon as certain persons wcro spirited
from the hall , the chairman called the
club to order again and business was npain
taken. The adjournments were taken for
the sake of harmony. Objecting members wore
allowed to go homo , nntl when their undcslred
persons vanished through the doorway , the
friendly Samos'ots proceeded with their
good work. When the club llrst ad
journed half of the members loft
the hall. As un additional earnest
of good faith , the reporters wore admitted
with a blast of trumpets , but just
as soon as certain persons wcro duly
and ofllclnlly reported to have taken
the elevator , the meeting was again called
to order and the reporters wore asked to
walk around the block. Then a resolution
favoring a combine of democratic members
of the legislature with the independents for
iho purpose of electing a senator , was pre
sented. Unluckily , ono undcsircd member
remained in the hall. ' It wns presumed
that ho had departed and when his voice
m'ng through the hull , clear and
threatening , there was u low rumb
ling of voices among the detected
conspirators. Tlio dissenting samosct
declared that the mooting had adjourned
und could do nothing. Ho thought the reso
lution was a "Job , " as it was
the pale of reason to suppose
democratic senator could be elected.
Ho was silenced , h&wcver , and the rcsohi-
, tlon was passed. Other business was trans
acted , wjiichn mcmbersaid , will create a
sensation nt the next meeting of the club ,
ns It was out of order and keeping wlthjob-
bery.

democratic party of Illinois. 'The presiden
tial electors chosen last November were not
only apparently ignorant of the forms of
law to be observed in casting their voles ,
but wcro timid and fearful of exposing their
ignorance. The electors met this morning
in thu secretary of state's ofllco for an In
formal conTerence to read the law and .map
out a program for the formal meeting
later. They seemed hardly to know wlrat
to do until1 u correspondent came tp the
rescue.with u suggestion to-go to the senate
chamber. This was done. Then u resolu
tion was offered to "exclude everybody but
the twenty-four electors with certificates
from the governor In their pockets. "
The motion was carried unanimously.
Then Owen I/ivoJoy , son of the great
abolitionist , formally demanded that the
correspondents vacate. It was done und the
presidential electors were left alone to sinker
or swim. The doors were closed and bolted
and the cite tore settled down to listen to u
harangue from Mr. Meyerstcin on constitu
tional and federal law. The meeting behind
closed doors lasted nearly two hours , lots
being cast for messenger to convey the
official vote to Washington. The choice fell
on David C. Knslow of Carliusvillu. The
.ballot resulted in G rover Cleveland receiving
twenty-four votes , the number apportioned
to Illinois.

The republican electors at election received

and 8l)0 ) for the democrats.
There was nn Interesting scrap over the
selection of the messenger. General I.i.
Sllsby of Mitchell was anxious to go , and
early In November wrote to the ether three
electors , asking their support , which all
promised. On arrival hero Sllsby found that
Charles J. Bucll of Itapld City , was

one. Bucll had quietly secured the
backing of the two electors , but Sllsby did
not glvu up , and Insisted on Bucll fulfilling
his November pledge , and , Silsby voting foi
himself , the vote stood 2 and 'J through n
long series of ballots. Finally u recess was

TornK.v , Kan. , Jan. 0. [ Special to TUB
line , ] There is n revolt against . .Terry Simp
son among the Kansas populists. Simpson
came hero n week ngo for the avowed pur
pose of capturing the United States senator-
ship for himself , or , If that be ini | > osslblo , he
proposes to name the senator. His attempt
to set himself up us the boss of the party in
this state has in the past two or three days
brought out the severest criticism from
people's partyiincmbors of the legislature ,
and ho has been plainly Informed that ho
should bo In Washington nt this time attend
ing to the business ot his district nnd not In
Topcka attempting to dictate the election of
the next United States senator.
This opjiosltton comes from what Is known
as the stalwart wing of the party , who under
the leadership of Mrs. Lease are attempting
to bring about the election of u radical pee
ple's party man for senator , whllo Jerry
Simpson , they believe , Is covertly seeking to
secure the'elcctlon of u fusion democrat.
A week ago the Indications were that the
people's party , lacking five votes of a majority
jorityon Joint ballot , would throw its
strength to Judge John Martin , u democrat
who assisted in the campaign for the pee
ple's party state ticket last fall , but outside
influence Is being brought to bear on the
iwpullst members to prevent a combination
with the democracy and the sentiment in
fuvor , of the fusion is rapidly disappearing.
A. J. Strecter , the populist leader of Illinois ,
Is hero to make u personal protest against n
coalition with the democrats , and is doing
everything in his power to induce the popu
lists to nominate u stalwart people's party
man for senator ami stand firmly for him
until they compel cither the democrats or
republicans to como to their support.
All Opposed to the Democrats.
Chairman Taubcncek und other prominent
national leaders of the people's party have
written and telegraphed in the past twenty-
four hours that it would bo suicidal to the
people's party in other sections of the
country if the party in Kansas should throw
away Its chances for u senator , and assist In
the election of a democrat. ,
Five members of the legislature are demo
crats who were elected by the aid of the
populists. They have participated in the
populist caucuses all along and will continue
to do so. It looks as if they had with them
u majority of the populist members , but the
stalwart "middle-of-the-road" element
or - - - ,
ut the dictation of Mrs. Lease , has taken u
stand and cannot be moved from its-position.
They htivo been givqn. fresh courage by the
Information which cpuies Irani the leaders in
California that thc.resmt , in thut'stuto do-
pcnds upon the position assumed by the
leaders in the pioneer populist state.
Miss Anna DiggspvlioShas been ono of the
nain forces in organizing the new party In
this state , arrived .wstcrday from California ,
ind at once allied herself with Mrs. Lease
n the demand that the populists , now tlmt
they lack only live \otes of a majority , make
10 surrender to tlitfil'cuiocracy. '
"Between a demolTAt and n republican , I
im for u dcmocritf'sald ; Jerry Simpson to
day , and that is the position of Chainiian
Qrcldonthal , Judge Dostwr and other leaders
who are inclined o ifajyor thg fusion plan.
Mrs. Lease said today.thut.sho would con-
: inuc to ndvlsd every1" populist jnembcr to
take n stand for principle , oven though it
did bring on a protr'iic'tial deadlock , but thq
democrats -regard this its u bluff for effect"
ind they assort thau "holding " as they do the
Balance of power the.v-ho.ve only to take a1
conservative , but still a determined stand in
order to bring about the election of a demo
crat. But the Uifilculty about this is the
fact that there are tw6 rings in the demo
cratic purtyMn this state , and so far it has
been impossible for them to unite on a can
didate.
DemiiK-ratsAlso Divided.
What is known as the stalwart democracy ,
which vigorously opposed a fusion with the
peoples' party in the recent campaign , has
indorsed Colonel A. A. Harris , chairman of
the democratic stalwart committee , for sena
tor , but the fusion democrats that element
which supported Lewclling for governor
will have nothing to do with Harris , and the
two wings seem to bo getting farther apart
ouch day. The majority of the democratic
members of the legislature belong to
the fusion wing , und it is believed
they will unit" on Judge John
Martin , who is also the favorite of the
fusion wing of the populist party. Should
Judge Martin become the candidate of the
fusiouists it is quite probable that the re
publicans will unite with the stalwart demo
crats In fuvor of Harris or some other anti-
Xusioiiist.
The republicans have little hope of electing
one of their own number senator. They lack
live of a majority and at this time there
scorns to bo no possibility of drawing that
number f roir. the ranks cither of the demo
crats or populists.
Senator Perkins , who arrived lust evening
nnd opened headquarters.is the only repub
lican seeking nn election. Even Mr. Perkins
realizes that the chances for a republican
are almost hopeless , and he desires the cau
cus nomination only 'ns an endorsement.
Chairman James Simpson of the republican
slate committee , Governor Humphrey and
ether republican lenders , though not openly
advocating it , arc lu favor of throwing the
to 'anti-fusion democrat
republican strength an -
crat ut the first moment it becomes apparent
that the election of a republican is impossi
ble , They are ready for- ' anything to defeat
the populists , and besides , the election of an
anti-fusion democrat , it is believed , would
prevent a fusion in two years between the
democrats and people's party , and us long us
there is u fusion butwccn the two opposition
parties , the republicans can never hope to re
gain control of the state.

Injunction ( IrnnlnlRiilmt Snrrrlnry Nolilc

WASHINGTON , 1) . C. , .Inn. 1) ) . In the case of
the Union lllvor lagging Railway company
of Oregon for n bill of injunction against
Secretary No bio of the Interior department ,
the United States supreme court , In nn opin
ion by Justice Drown today , affirmed the
iudgmcntof the district supreme court , grant-
in ; ; an injunction. The Injunction was applied
for by Mr. F. 1) . MclCenuoy , counsel for the
company , to restrain Secretary Noble from
revoking tlio approval of his predecessor to
the map of location of the company. Secre
tary Noble's action was based on tlio ground
that the company was not n general trans
portation company as contemplated by con
gress when it made a land grant to the cor
poration , but a private lugging railway con
cern.
Counsel for the road claimed that by the
original approval of the map it had acquired
vested rights which could bo taken away
only by Judicial proceedings. It was main
tained , therefore , that no discretionary right
was lodged In the secretary.
The court upholds this view. It Is said
that this is the Hrst time in which the court
has afllrmcd the grant of an Injunction
agnlntn cabinet ofllcor. It has heretofore
accomplished much the snmo thing by way
of mandamus , but In the cases heretofore
before the court , avoided the grant of nn in
junction , though never stating that It
would not under any set of circumstances do
so.
so.The court In the case of Do leverage He-
'rigerntlng company against Feuthcrstouc ,
odny ruled that a patent was not void bo-
auso of the death of the inventor between
ho time of his application for a patent and
ts "issuance by the patent oftlcers. The
court holds that the patent should bo
granted to the heirs or assignee of tlio in
ventor.
The court denied the motion to advance
the case of Morrle , ex rel , vs Charles Foster ,
secretary of the treasury , popularly known
is the silver brick case.
