union created a sensation at noon by rislns
to a privileged question stating that -very
damaging rumors were being circulated
against the general officers and moving that
n committee of IIvo be appointed to Investi
gate thcso chaigcs. Mr. Mahone would not
name the charges and none would mention
them , but the rumors were geneiall ) con
ceded to be In connection with the agitation

charges or putting them In vvriling , but
thcso objections did not prevail

algned. It was held that Delegate Mahono
made his motion In open session for an In

Di'lcgato Tobln , president of the Shoe-
makeis' association , believed that Mahone
iml otht'13 wcro chasing shadows. He had
llffered from President Gompers and others ,
jilt was not circulating these uimors.
Delegate Keougli had heard the rumois
i ml wanted them Investigated. He said
the charges were not scnatlonal , but based
on dllTorcnccs In administration.
Delegate Yarnell had heard the rumors.
One of these charges , he said , was wilful
negligence on the part of olllccrs and ho
thought It would not bo denied by some of
them.
Several delegates thought their union

they had experienced.
Mr. Mulumo Insisted that ho made no
clmtges and would make no charges. Ho
said ho simply Informed the committee that

CiOMPBHS IS VINDICATED.
The executive session continued from S
p. m. till S p. in. and resulted In the vin
dication of Piealdent Unmpcrs nnd the ic-
tlrfiuctit of Secretary McGralth , whose term
expired ne\t month. While the minors of
charges sui prised j'rcaldcnt Gompcrs and
nil otheis except a select few of the deleGates -
Gates , there 'perns to have been much
agitation during last night In consultation
looms over the sensation that was to be
sprung today. Hx-Sccrrtary A. G. Wines
and Secretarj August McGialtb wcie cpa-
lated by friends while quarreling In a
roam at the DenLon house In the early
mottling hours , and revolvers are said to
have been drawn. The trouble waa be
tween President Gompcrs and Secret-uy Mc
Gralth and dated back tc the last cam
paign. In the absence of President Compels ,
it Is h.ild , Secretary McGralth edited the
Fcdcratlonlst. McGralth Is considered a
socialist , and was afterwarda a silver man ,
but In the absence of President Gompeis
ho kept out articles an the sliver question
that had been previously appearing In the
oigaii of the federation. At a subsequent
meeting of the executive council this matter -
tor , with other differences between the
president and secretary , was considered ,
and Secretary McGralth was compelled to
apologize to President Gomper-s It Is
charged that after this action of the execu
tive council. Secretary MeGialth conspired
agalust President Goniper.s and tried to
make a case against the president on the
correspondence ot the latter with certain
prominent political silver leaders. Secretary
McGralth held that In replying to the let
ters ot sliver leaders. President Gompers
went beyond the power of the president of
the federation. While Secretary McGralth
is called an anarchist by many delegates ,
he Is recognised by nil as a consistent trades
unionist , and as being averao even to any
sort of ninilatlon with political parties
It Is claimed that Picsldent Gompnrs docs
not ntllllatc with any party , but tint bis
correspondence with the advocate's of free
silver was In accordance with resolutions
adopted at the last three national conven
tions of the f : letation. It was out ol
this coirespondcnce that sprang the itimora
nliout Gompcra being closely associated with
Chairman Jones and others'
MAHONG PHESnNTS TUG HUMOHS.
In the executive session Delegate Mi-
hone. who sprang the question of the
rumors of charges earlier In the day , read
a piper setting forth the rumor that Presi
dent Gompcrs had acted with politicians
and oven negotiated with them during the
recent campaign. Mr. Mahone said he would
not present It as a charge , and that there
was a minor of only one offense , and that
was that President Gompcrs had partici
pated In politics.
Secretary .McGralth , who originated the
rumors on which the charge was bused ,
then made a statement about keeping poll-
tics out of the federation , and read all the
letters that Gompers had written and had
received from political leaders during the
recent campaign. These parties -wanted
President Gompcrs to meet Chairman Jones
In Chicago. This proposition was declined.
Then It was proposed to have Prcsldeut
Gompcrs meet other silver advocates lu
Chicago. Picsldent Gompera replied that
ho was too tusy to leave his olllce , but
would talk the matter over If the parties
would eomo to Indianapolis. It was ad
mitted that at least one representative-
tl'o silver cause did conic to Indianapolis
to see President Gompcrs. None ot the
letters had be'en filed away with the pri
vate piper : of President Gomperd , but all
were filed with the olllchl correspondence
of the president nnd labeled "Politics. "
.Secretary McGralth and any others could
get the letters and read them and the
secretary did produce all of them In evi
dence. Secretary McGralth said he felt
President Gompcrs had done wrong , and
called the attention of the executive coun
cil to the nutter McGralth also stated
that President Gompcra had been at Chicago
at least once during the campaign
On Investigation , the executive council re
ported that they knew where President Gem
pcrs was while In Chicago ; that ho did not
meet Chairman Jones or any other politician
there , but that ho went theie to confer with
a president of an International union Some
of the delegates , especially those from the
west , stated that they were surprised that
there was not more in the case , ns the ru
mors that had reached them Bieatlv mag
nified the charges.
GOMPKHS MAKnS NO DRrENSE.
President Gompers was requested to make
a statement , but ho said only a few words
and announced that all his correspondence
and his actions In the olllcial capacity of
piesldcnt of the federation wore open to the
uciegates anil tno world , as the correspond
ence which Secretary .McGralth had ween fit
to bring to this convention.
After considerable discussion , which re-
llccted more on those who bad circulated the
rumors of serious charges than on President
Goniper.s , Delegate Pcnua of the Miners'
union offered the following :
Having ho ml the clnnges of alleged
wrongdoing by President Gompcrs dining

He solved. Tluit we emloino tbo piosldent'H

During the Informal hearing of tlio case
there was an exciting discussion of the silver
question , but there were only three dissent
ingvotes , nnd the three voting In the nej-
atlvc announced that they did so on account
of their opposition to the free coinage of
silver , which they would not endorse In any
form , although they desired to endorse Pres
ident Gompcrs. .
The following was offered by George W.
McNelll and was then unanimously adopted1
Iteiolvcil , That the delegates to the sl\-

A similar resolution of confidence was
unanimously adopted In endorsing the five
members of the executive council.
During the debate It was brought out
that only two of the five members of the
executive council knew anjthing about
thcso rumois circulated by Secretary Mc
Gralth and others against Preside-ill Gem
pers until Delegate Mahono called atten
tion to them In the convention hall today.
After the action of the convention In execu
tive sessions. Secretary McGralth announced
tint ho would retire and the friends of
Delegate Morrison of the Chicago Typo
graphical union are now confident of Mor
rison's election tomorrow afternoon without
opposition. It Is the general opinion that
all of the old officers will now bo re-elected
except Secretary McGralth.
Since the silver question was such a fea
ture of the executive session when the
charges against Gompcrs vvero being con
sidered. It Is now announced that n resolu
tion will bo offered tomorrow to strike out
thn endorsement of the three previous na
tional conventions of frco coinage at the
ratio of 1C to 1 , and a long and animated
