LOUISVILLE , Ky. , June 26. The demo
cratic state convention of Kentucky has cer
tainly endorsed the administration , with spe
cial tributes to President Clevaland nnd his
distinguished adviser , Carlisle. No outing
was ever of moro productive results than
that of Secretary Carlisle and the Memphis
convention. The sllvcrites , including Sena
tor Blackburn , attribute their defeat to the
recent speeches of Carlisle and the circula
tion that was given them. The free coinage
men do not deny that they cxpscted to con
trol the convention and all Its committees ,
the platform and nominations. 'They fought
gamely to a finish , nnd take their defeat , al
though they make charges about the way It
was done , especially on the part of Auditor
ot State Norman and others , against Norman
The free sliver men were bsaten first In
the district meetings that selected members
of the committees ; then In the selection ot
Judge Beckner for temporary chairman nnd
Congressman Berry for permanent chairman ;
and In the organization of the committee on
resolutions , as well as the organization of
other committees. Today they went down
under the adoption of the minority report
on credentials , selecting "sound money" dele
gates , and In the adoption
of the resolutions endorsing Presi
dent Cleveland nnd Secretory Carlisle.
The sliver men felt that General Hardln had
been looking more after his nomination than
after a free silver plank , and some of them
deserted Hardln , whllo the Clay men were
urging the "sound money" dele-gates to stand
together on nominations as well as on the
platform. Senator Blackburn and other free
silver leaders remilncd In the convention
and fought to the last on the resolutions ,
after which they did not take much Interest
In the meeting. They were very bitter to
ward Auditor of State Norman , who was
General Hardln's manager , and himself i
candidate for icnomlna'lon. In Senate" Black
burn's speech against the majority report or
resolutions ho showed his feeling toward
some on whom ho had depended , while he
referred very respectfully to Senator Lind
say , Congressman McCreary and others whc
had opposed him openly. The conventlor
was a record breaker In great speeches as
well as In other respects.
WAS A PERSONAL VICTORY.
The fight tonight between General Hard.r
nnd General Clay for the gubernatorial nomi
nation was much closer than the Hardlr
men expected. They state that If they coult
have forced nominations yesterday their mar
would have had over 600 votes. Instead ol
less than 500 , and admit they were nervour
all day. It was thought jcsterday thai
Hardln would be nominated without tin
presentation ot any other name , even thai
of Clay. The Hardln men elected Bucknci
as temporary chairman , and the lattci
divided the appointments of the mcmbers-at
large. In the Interest of Hardln rather that
to cater to either the gold qr the silver men
While Hardln held the slUer vole almos
Eolld , the Clay men could not pet all tin
round mtmey men away from him becausi
of his consideration In the organization o
the convention , and of his unusually titront
personal following. Under the circumstance :
the nomination of Hardln Is considered i
great personal victory , as the men whi
framed the platform and shaped the pollc ;
of the party had been working hard toda ;
for Clay or n dark horse. The silver men , a
a rule , are feeling good tonight over liar
din's nomination , although Blackburn am
Eomo other stiver leaders feel that Hardli
did not stand by them , and refer to the In
consistent position In which he now find
himself on an admlslstratlon platform. Ii
the present fight the entire city dally pres
has been against Senator Blackburn , and th
Cincinnati Enquirer has been his exponent
Tonight the Senator made the followlni
statement to the Enquirer correspondent
"I do not feel sore , nor hnvo I any heart
burns. I realize , however , that It Is 1m
possible to win a fight against a comblna
tlon of money and federal patronage , an
especially when both are furnished In un
limited quantities. "
When the convention adjourned In th
early hours of the morning the pending posl
tlon was on the minority report from th
committee on credentials and the dlscussloi
thereon was resumed.
After dls-cusslng an hour and a half th
motion to substitute the minority report o
credentials for the majority report the cal
of the 119 counties began.
CLAY MEN VICTORIOUS.
The Clay men favored the substitute an
the Hardln men opposed It. As the vet
was considered a test ot Etrcngth It wa
watched with great Interest and resulted 44
ayes , 425 nays. The result was greete
\vlth loud cheering by the Clay men.
The Hardln men rushed to the platforrr
charged false counting and fraud , and create
a tumultuous scene , which was final !
checked by crowding Senator Lindsay throug
the fighters to the front of the platforn
when he opened another hot contest by prc
tenting the majority report of the commll
tee on resolutions ,
The following was reported by Senate
Lindsay , chairman of the committee on res (
lutlons , as the majority report signed by nln
ot the thirteen members :
First The demoeiacy of Kentucky In cot
volition assembled congratulates thecountr
upon the repeal of the McKlnloy tariff la
and upon the evidences \\o ha\e on over

latlon nndo denounce an fraught wit
danger nnd disaster the threat of our n
publican nd\crs.irlcs to re-establish a pri
leotlve tariff and to relnaugurnte a pollc
of unequal taxation , which In conneclli
with goner.il ml.stov ; eminent by the repul
llcan party culminated in the business pan
of Ib03.
Second The demorratlo party , which hi
always stood for the separation of churc
and state , for the sake nllko of civil at
rcllglouH freedom , does not hesitate to coi
ilcmn all efforts to create a dlstlnctk
among citizens because of differences

Third We reaffirm without quallfloatU
the principles and policies declated by tl

wo exprcts our undlmlnlslipd confidence

drover Cleveland nnd his dlstlnguhhrd c
ndvlvei-M nnd Secrctaiy John U. Carlisle

The names of President Cleveland ai
Secretary Carlisle were received with pr
longed applause. Ex-Congresnnan W '
Ellis presented the minority report , win
John S. Rhea took the floor to read It hit :
self , as he would not trust to the secretary.
MINORITY REPORT ON RESOLUTION
The following Is the minority report
which the tlher men sought to load down tl
majority rather than advocate their ov
views :
The minority members of the comml
tee on resolutions dissent from \lews e
pressed by the majority committee on rei
lutlon" , vthlch Is proposed ns nn cndcm
ment of the ulefrnt national democrut
administration because the said rosolutl <
ts ambiguous , obscure aril uncertain In I
meaning ami Is , In our opinion , an nttcm
to Htrnddlo the ino t vital question now n
trading the attention of the American pe
pie. And whllo the minority dn n
concur In the views expressed In HJld re.
1 lutlon. nor In the views expressed In t
amendment which IB hero submitted , th
naverlhclei * liellevo that It is the duty
the democratic party to express Itrelf
clear nnd unambiguous terms on tl
tubjcct. The financial policy of the prete
0 moratlc administration deserves on u
( lemnorntlc party of Kentucky , or It does
not deserve such endorsement : nnd , with n
vlow of tnklng the opinion of the rcpre-
Eontiitlvei of the democracy of Kentucky In
convention assembled , we submit the fol
lowing as an amendment to said resolu
tion.
tion.Resolved.
Resolved. IJy the democracy In Kentucky ,
In convention assembled , that * the pre cnt
democratic administration Is entitled to the
thanks of the whole country fet Its gtntes-
matillke management of nubile nffniri nnd
wo further declare ihnt both President
Cleveland nnd Hecretnry CnrlNc nre en
titled to the unqualified endorsement of the
American people for maintaining .he gold
standard and thin maintaining the m-dlt of
the povernmenl ; nnd their Issuance of $1CO-
000,000 of the Interest-bearing bonds is here-
bv expressly endorsed.
The following as a separate resolution was
offered nnd Its adoption n .ked :
Unsolved , That \\e believe In the coinage
of l > oth gold nnd silver as the primary
money of the country Into legal tender
dollni , rpct'lvnblr In payment of nil Its
debts , public nnd private , upon terms of
exact equality.
Mr. Rhea made n most vigorous argument
and offered a second or supplemental minority
report , which simply reaffirmed the national
platform of the party of 1892 , and urged Its
adoption as a measure of expediency owing to
the divergent views of the party In Ken
tucky en the financial question.
Congressman Ellis opened the debate for
the minority report.
Ex-Governor James 0. McCreary , who Ii a
candidate for the senate , made a vigorous
appeal for the Kentucky democracy , cooperating
ating with Cleveland , Carlisle , and the de
mocracy , as Its principles had been declared
in 1S93 Senator Blackburn sat Immediately
back of the speaker. When McCreary argued
that there was no room for two democratic
parties In Kentucky , the "sound money" men
cheered loudly. Mr. MoCreary opposed the
minority report nnd Its supplement most
vigorously , and held the floor , notwithstand
ing the cails for Blackburn , and other dis
turbances.
INSISTED ON A RECOUNT.
After McCreary concluded , the Hardln men
Insisted on a recount of the vote by which
the minority report was substituted for the
majority report on credentials , and the con
vention hall for some time resembled a riot.
The secretary discovered errors , and Chair
man Berry announced that the correction
would be made later It the delegates would
allow the consideration ot the resolution to
proceed.
Mr. John S. Rhea was accorded the floor
and made such a vigorous "speech against
the majority report of the committee an
resolutions as to stop all disturbance JtU
command the closest attention. Mr. Rhea
denounced President Cleveland .anl Secretary
Carlisle In as bitter words as the queen's
English could furnish. When he quoted
Henry Wattersbn as saying In 1S92 : "Nomi
nate Grover Cleveland and you rush from a
slaughterhouse Into an open grave , " with the
sentiment of the convention against him , Mr.
Hhea not only brought order , but also com
manded the closest attention for a long time
In hi ? philippic 6n Cleveland and Carlisle as
the associates of Rothschild and Morgan , and
not ot the people.
Senator Blackburn haJ been called for all
day and finally came to the front. He said
at the outset that he was opposed to Brad
ley , the republican candidate for governor of
Kentucky , and for that reason he was op
posed to the majority report on resolutions.
He replied especially to the argument of
Congressman McCreary with most Intense
earnestness. Ho stood for harmony , but
warnej the convention against endorsing
Sherman Instead of Jefferson. He had never
endorsed a republican platform and he did
not want the Kentucky democracy to do so
today. Ho was for democratic bimetallism
and not for the republican gold standard.
Ho wa not here for any new departure , but
for oil , time-honored democratic principles
and to oppose the newfangled policies ot the
republican element that was trying to shape
the policies today for the democracy of Ken
tucky. The applause of Blackburn was
tremendous.
Senator LImlsay was then Introduce ! anc
made a remarkably strong reply to Senator
Blackburn. His dcfbnse of the administra
tion , especially when ho mentioned President
Cleveland , was .greeted with stirring demon
strations.
'The convention reached climaxes of the
highest pitch when the senator denounce )
the insinuation that the majority report was
a republican platform. His voice sounded
llko the roaring of a lion as he warmed up
In replying to the Insinuations that the ma
jority of those on the committee or In this
convention were advocates of republican
doctrines of nv kind.
Senator Llnd'ay was Interrupted by numer
ous questions from the silver men , amcng
them being one "Why the reaffirming of the
platform of 1S92 would nrt bs enough ? " He
replleJ that they wanted mere of a good
thing. Senator Lindsay moved the adoption
of the majority report and there was a response
sponso of nays In loud chorus.
TROUBLE STARTED AGAIN.
Chairman Berry announced that a revision
of the count by the secretary sustained the
previous announcement of the substitution ol
the minority report on credentials for the ma
jority report. The Clay men cheered this an
nouncement and the Hifrdln men preclpltateil
another riot.
The previous question was ordered on a
viva voce vote after 1 o'clock on the adoption
of the reports on resolutions. In this proceed
ing Chairman Berry was equal to the emer
gency in his ruling on the vote and the result
would never have been reached.
Ex-Congre'sman El Is moved to amend sec
tlon 3 of the majority report after the word ;
"platform of 1S92. " This amendment struck
out that part of tbe resolu bn endorsing UIE
administration , Cleveland and Carlisle.
Mr. Hhea offered a substitute for his
resolution ot thanks to Cleveland and
Carlisle for their negotiations with the Roths
childs and Morgan. This was ruled out and
the next vote taken was on the amendment
of Mr. Ellis , which reaffirmed the Chlcagc
platform ot 1S92 and cut out the endorse
ment of Cleveland and Carlisle. .
The Ellis amendment was defeated by c
large majority. It was considered a victory
for Clay , as well as for Cleveland and
Carlisle. The vote on the Ellis amendmenl
was announced with loud cheering for Cleve
land arid Carlisle. It was moved that thi
majority report be adopted by a viva voc (
vote. Messrs. Rhea. Ellis and others clalmei
that they were entitled to another separate
vote on their original minority report , whlcl
was a sarcastic endorsement of Clevelam
and Carlisle for maintaining a tingle golt
standard. The Ellis amendment was Itnoui
as the supplemental report. The roH hai
been called on It and the slher men In
slsted on the roll being called again 01
substituting the original minority report fo :
the majority report. There was an over
whelming viva vocooto against tin
minority report , but a call of the 11 !
counties was demanded and ordered at 2:30 :
The final vote on substituting the mlnorlt ;
report for the majority report en resolution
had only 22 ayes. When the minority repor
as well as the supplement was lost the ques
ton ! recurred on the adoption of the majorl ;
report. Although the previous votes showei
that the majority report would be overwhelm
Ingly adopted , still the slher men demands
a call of counties , which proceeded till afie
3 p. in.
The vote on the adoption of the majorlt
report was announced as GIT 3S-TO ayes , 23
39-70 najeij and was received with greit ar
plauso. The convention took a rcrecs unt
7-30 o'clock.

GOLD RESERVE AGAIN FULL
Syndicate Makes Its Final Deposit on the
Eond Contract.
TREASURY OFFICIALS ARE FEELING EASY
Some Speculation ni to Whether the Trem-
ury Mill lie Protected Against Ultli-
( iruuuU for Shipment to IZnropo
Administration I'euln I'onlldcnt.
WASHINGTON , June 20. Today's treasury
statement will show the gold reiervo to be
$107,447,853.
Whllo no Information has been rece'ved
from the treasury other than that yesterday's j
gold deposits would bring the reserve up to
the amount gt\en , It la assumed that this j
deposit covers the entire amount due under
the contract. Whether yesterday's deposits
cf nearly $7,000,000 was In foreign gold Is re
garded as extremely doubtful , as no Informa
tion lias reached hero of the arrival of any
thing In this country approximating that
amount of gold. It Is thought therefore that
this deposit was made by the syndicate In the
domestic gold In order to sa\e Interest. This
domestic gold of course will bo replaced by
Importations within the next few days , when
the normal transfer of the bonds will be maJe.
As to the question whctner the obligation
of the syndicate to use : it > uost efforts to pre
lect the treasury irom withdrawals of gold
ceases on the deposit of the full amount of
gold called for by the contract , Assistant
Secretary Hamlln declined to express an opin
ion. From other officials , however , It Is
learned that It was the understanding with
the syndicate at the time the contract was
made that the obligation was to continue un
til October 1. The question , however , has not
been formally raised , nor is It thought that
It will be raised. No doubt Is expressed In
any administrative quarter but that Inde
pendent of the assumed contract obligations
the syndicate will find It to Its personal in
terest to continue to exercise Us ingenu ty
to protect the treasury gold. Under normal
conditions the movement of gold usually be
gins to set toward the United States about
the middle of August , or before , and even
under present conditions the officials con
fidently expect that within the next few
weeks the pressure from abroad will be
greatly relieved.
DISl'AKAGINU AMMtlCAN I'ltODU Ta.
English Newspapers In Clilnn * hoiv Their
.foilcnuy of the United States.
WASHINGTON , June 2C. Consul Fowler ,
at Nlngpo , China , has sent to the State de
partment a clipping from the China Gazette
published at Shanghai , containing an article
which was evidently first printed In the Med
ical Press and Circular , as It Is credited to
that publication. The article says :
Some very harrowing details are at hand
concerning the preparation and packing ot
meat at Chicago for export. It Is stated , on
what appears to be good authority , that the
precaution enjoined , with the object of pre
venting the use of flesh from animals suffei-
ing from actinomycosis , that newly discov
ered and terrible fungoid disease , are sys
tematically set at naught by unscrupulous
persons. Evsn more revolting are the details
of the preparation of "extracts of beef , "
which are offered to the public In dainty
jars , but are often made from the sweepings
and dralnlngs of the refuse from the canning
rooms and cellars. The tanks of this "ex
tract of filth" are left open , and the bodies
of dead rats , In an advanced state ot de
composition , are from time to time withdrawn -
drawn before the delicious and nourishing
compound Is put Into the Jars. No analysis
nor other method of examination can l
relied upon to re\eal the antecedents of these
extracts , now so largely used by all classes
hroUghout the land. "
Mr. Fowler suggested that the clipping be
landed to the secretary of agriculture for
such action as he may deem proper , arid
addi : "The animus of such articles Is not
liard to dl\lne , for It is well known that the
market for American canned meats , etc. . Is
a large and constantly Increasing one In the
Orient , consequently the demand for the pro
ducts of Europe are fast diminishing. The
newspapers of the whola east are entirely In
: he hands of the English , and they never let
an opportunity pass whereby they can make
some disparaging remarks upon Americans ,
America and American products , "

Treasury Shown n llnliince on tlio High ;
Slclo of the Ledger f > r July.
WASHINGTON , June 2G. For the first
tlmo in many months the treasury receipts
for the current month will exceed the ex
penditures. Today the treasury balance
sheets for the month show -surplus Instead
of a deficit , and as the expenditures are usu
ally light toward the end of the month. It Is
regarded as certain that the surplus will con
tinue to crow from now until July 1. The
treasury Is $4C,5C3,211 behind In the matter
of receipts and expenditures for the current
fiscal year and In the Intervening 'days be
tween now and July 1 , It Is unlikely that
more than $1,000,000 of this deficiency will
be made up , so that the year's balance sheets
probably 11 show that the expenditures
were about $15,000,000 greater than the re
ceipts.

HAVANA , Juno 26. The1 most serious
news of Spanish disasters received here since
the outbreak of the rebellion reached here
this evening. The garrisons of two towns
have surrcnderiM and the places themselves
have been burned by Maximo Gomez. Firing
was heard constantly around Puerto Prln-
clpo last night and extraordinary precautions
are being taken to protect that city. Otv.ng
to the restrictions placed by the government
upon the transmission of telegraphic news
concerning the .Insurrection , only the most
meager details of the disaster to the Spanish
arms are obtainable. It appears certain ,
however , that the garrison at El Mulatto , In
the province of Puerto Prlnc pe , near the
city of Puerto Principe , has surrendered to
Maximo Gomez. The garrison consisted of
about twenty-five Spanish soldiers under
Lieutenant Romero and they were quartered
In a Quano house , fortified with palisades
with loopholes for rifles. The place was also
provisioned and contained a considerable
stock of ammunition. During the unex
plained absence of Lieutenant Romero the
fort was surrounded by about 1,000 Insur
gents umler'thc command of Maximo Gomez.
The lieutenant surrendered the garrison
against the decree ot his .soldiers , who were
humiliated at being compelled to capitulate
without a shot. When the garrson. was In
the hands ot the Insurgents Maximo Gomez
ordered the village of El Mulatto to be
burned and after depriving Lieutenant
Romero of his arms , set him at liberty. The
lieutenant was afterwards arrested by the
authorities of Puerto Principe and It Is thought
probable he will be promptly tried by
court martial and shot 1 ke Lieutenant
GMleJo.
The town of San Geronlmo met the same
fate. It was attacked by the Insurgents
under Maximo Gomez and was burned to
the ground after Its garrison of about fifty
men had surrendered.
Advices from Puerto Principe Indicate that
tht city Is Infested by Insurgents. The
military governor of that place has Issued a
proclamation forbidding any one to come into
the town or go out of It and not moro than
three persons arc allow qd to assemble In
public , and finally no one Is allowed to been
on horseback In the city of Puerto Principe
after nightfall.
It Is rumored that Antonio Maceo has
succeeded In making his way from the
province bf Santiago de Cuba Into the
province of Puerto Principe at the head of a
large body of Insurgents , and It may be his
Intention to join Ills forces to those of
Gomez and make a combined attack upon
Puerto Principe. It is also rumored here
that the rear guard of the Insurgent force ,
commanded by Gomez , has been attacked by
the Spanish troops , who killed twelve of
them and captured nineteen.

In flic Imperial Institute by the prince of
Wales In a felicitous speech. He paid
a special compliment to the American dele
gates , saying this was the first time the rail
way congress had the pleasure of welcoming
them. He said that while the hosts could
not promise the delegates the beauties of
Italy or excel In splendor the reception ac
corded them by the late czar at their last
meeting , he thought It would profit them to
visit the Manchester Crowe and other
great works , He said he would venture to
say this to the delegates from the United
States , that great country which owned half
of the railway mileage of the world.
After an address of welcome from HI.
Hon. James Br > ce , president of the Board of
Trade , the congress adjourned to enter to

railroads of the United Kingdom , Tomor
row , Friday and Saturday the delegates
will Inspect the objects of Interest In Lan

meetings of the congress will take place
on July 1 and 2 , and the first banquet ( the
number of delegates assembled being FO
great that two banquets are necessary )
will be given by the Hallway Companies as
sociation at the Imperial Institute on July
2 , to be followed by a second banquet given
by the same association on July 4 , The
American delegates will attend the latter
banquet. On July 3 , 4 , 5 and C there will
be meetings of the congress , and during the
afternon of July 6 the delegates will bo
received by the queen at Windsor castle ,
her majesty , however , desiring that only
he leading members of the congress be In-
reduced to her , but all others with their
amllles will be free to roam about the
castle and its grounds.

tanles association will give a banquet at the

SAN FRANCISCO , Juno 26. Tno sensa
tional cases , which have never had pub-
Iclty , although they have been In the United
States circuit court for the past three years ,
were brought to light today. The suits
contain allegations of cmbc/zlemcnt against
two of ths most prominent citizens of this
city , who hold federal positions , each of whom
s said to bo short In hla accounts with the
; overnment. Criminal proceedings ha\o not
ieen Instituted , but suits have been com-
nenced to reco\er the amount of shortages
rom , the ex-officials. These alleged defaul
ters are William J. Bryan , who was post-
naster ot San Francisco during Cleveland's
first term , and who at the last election was
, hs democratic candidate for assessor , and
John Qulnn , who was Internal revenue col-
ector under President Harrison. The charge
nade by the government against Bryan la
that between July 14 , 1S86 , and Juno 13 ,
1S90 , he received $9 399 Into his possession
which he neglected to turn Into the Unltea
States treasury. Money was received by
ilm , or properly speaking , by his clerks , for
stamps and other postal moneys. When the
ex-postmaster got out of office this shortage
was dlsco\ered and soon afterward the suit
was commenced.
The allegations against Qulnn are even
stronger than those In ths case of Bryan
There are two separata actions against Qulnn.
Ono for the mltapproprlallon ot $1,635 60
and Ihe other for $2.695.63 , between the 27th
of March , 1S91 , and November 13 , 1893. The
[ acts leaked out today when the United States
district attorney asked to have the estate
of W. W. Stow substituted for W. W. Stow
as a bondsman and defendant In each case.
In defense of Bryan and Qulnn , It Is stated
that the shortages were caused by the detail
cations of subordinates. Two deputies have
served a term In prison for these embezzle
ments. _ _

A special meeting of tlio city-council will
bo called within n day or two to receive Ilia
report of the committee on judiciary on the
mayor's appointment of Thomas Swobe , aa
city treasurer , to 1111 the unoxplrcd term o (
Henry llolln. It Is n foregone conclusion
that the report of the committee will bo
adverse to Mr. Swobe's conflriimtlon , and.
Judging by the present opinions ot members
of the council , the report \\lll bo adopted byj
a decisive vote.
The selection of n city treasurer lias become
como purely a matter of politics , so far as
the council Is concerned. It Is the mis
fortune of Mr. Swobo Unit ho Is In n position
where politics and the future ambitions ot
one.member ot the council dictate that ha
shall bo turned do\ui. The same thins
might bo said of any other republican ap
pointee , unless he was willing to bind him *
eclf not to be a candidate for renomlua-
tlon at the hands of the convention this
fall.
fall.It
It Is rather n peculiar situation that the
republican members of the council are
cither openly or In secret In fa\or of n demo
cratic appointment. It Is no secret that
1'rcsldcnt Edwards ls Incubating : i boom by ,
which ho expects to land his name on the
republican ticket this rail as the choscu
candidate of the party for city treasurer.
Mr. Saunders , In his capacity as chairman
of the Judiciary committee , Is a valuables
ally In the present emergency. The Ed
wards combine fought vigorously to retain
Mr. Holln In olllce , as they assumed that IIQ
could not possibly be a factor In the coming
campaign , Being defeated In this particular ;
their energies are bent toward making It
certain that his successor shall be some onq
who will not stand In the way of 1'rcsldent
Edwards' ambition. t
CAUCUSED ON SWOBE. . '
No sooner was it rumored that A. L. need
would receive the appointment than he wan
besieged by Edwards' friends , who wanted
to bo assured that tic would not be a can.
dldato for the full term. Mr Heed emphat
ically stated that he would not accept tha
onici on a silver platter. He might be will
ing to go In for six months In order to asstsD
the city out of Us dilemma , but would not
accept a nomination for further service under
any circumstances. While this assurance was
as broad as could possibly be required , Mr.
Edward : and his friends were s'.ill suspicious.
As ono of them put It , "If ho likes the
place he may conclude to stay In for another
term. " When the appointment was presented !
to the mayor , they were still In doubt whether ,
they could safely confirm Mr , Heed , and a
caucus was called for 7 o'clock Tuesday even-
ton.There
There were nine meinbers present at the *
caucus , but as In the meantime Mr. Heed's
name had been withdrawn , they found them
selves without an occupation. It occurred !
to some one , however , that It might be as
well to anticipate the fuljiro action 'ot tlio
mayor , and ho suggested that It would bo a' '
good Idea to take a billet and see how they ,
would stand If Mr. Swobe's name should
be presented. The ballot stood 0 to 0 against
continuation. As one or two of the councllmcn ,
who are avowedly hostile to Mr. Swobe's
confirmation , were not present , his chancea
looked decidedly bad at that juncture.
A member of the committee on judiciary )
stated yesterday that the special council
meeting would lie called not later than to-
, day. He declared that Mr. Swobs would
not got more than two votes for conflrma-
1 tlon. Moreover , he doubted If any republican
could do better. Edwards and his republican
colleagues were determined that no man
should go Into the olllce who would be an
tagonistic to Edwards' political ambitions.
The democrats were smart enough to appre
ciate the fact that they had a drop on tha
situation , and would not fall to take ad
vantage of the opportunity to appoint a dem
ocratic city treasurer by republican votes.
In case of the failure ot the council tu
confirm Mr Swoho there Is tome difference
of opinion as to whom the next appointment
will fall upon. The friends of George Helm-
rod are werklng hard , but as he Is also an
avowed candidate for the republican nomina
tion the same snag Is encountered as In Mr.
Swobo's case. The democratic slate bears ,
the name of Hairy I * . Deuel and his friends
hope to force his appointment by uniting with
the Edwards republicans to defeat any other
appointment that may bo made. '
Mr. Swobe , In the meantime , Is getting Ills
jond In readiness for approval. Ho eayl
that the bond will bo on hand whenever ,
this council gets ready to confirm him , and
lie will bo ready to assume the responsibili
ties of the ofllce OB soon as may bo desired.
EXPERTS TO CHECK UP IJOOKS.
Yesterday the finance committee of tha
council acted promptly In setting on fool
the more thorough examination of the city
treasurer's books ordered by the council
Tuesday night. The committee met yester
day and Kelectel four experts for the work.
They are Charles P. Drcxel , who was deputy ,
treasurer under John Hush , and later secre
tary of the Commercial club ; WIM'am Ross ,
formerly with the First National bank ; a. A ,
Hathbun. who has recently finished checking
up the city accounts of South Omaha , and J ,
N. Wise , who has been employed by the cltj
on the tax lint.
These men will meet with the commlttci
this morning and receive specific advices ate
to what will be expected of them. They w.ll ,
saya Mr. Taylor , chairman of the committee ,
work In pairs , and will begin their task
today. All the accounts of Mr. llolln from
the first day ot his first term will bo gene
over.
Comptroller Olson does not expect that tha
committee invcstfgat on will ma'erlilly change
the situation. Ho believes that the books will
balance as reported by him and that tlio
shortage will be confined to the cash account.
But there are fo many rumors In regard to
the complicated condition of the ofllco that
It Is thought be3t to have an Investigation
that would disclose the exact state of affair *
and allow the new treasurer to tulco a now
start and with a thorough understanding all
around of the statun of the olTlco when It
comes Into his hands.
The announcement that the finance commit
tee was authorized to employ as much expert
assistance as was necessary to conduct the In
vestigation brought In a dozen or more ap
plications for the position. The members ol
the committee were besieged all day and had
no lack of accountants to choo o from ,
