ISPZCIAI. TZLEGRAK TO THE DISPATCH. 1
"West Chester, June 7. More than
ordinary hustling was manifested at the
Republican primaries this afternoon
and evening in the several districts in this
county, and the friends of Hastings and
Delamater exerted their best efforts in behalf
of their respective candidates from the
opening to the closing of the polls. All of
the returns are not yet in, but enough has
been received from various points through
out the county to settle the question in favor
of General Hastings beyond all doubt, and
also for Passmore and Stewart.
The positive character of the Hastings
strength surprised the Delamater men when
the hour of voting arrived, and particularly
was Congressman Darlington among the num
ber, as he declared this evening that in his
own township, East Bradford, there was
Hot a Delamater man from choice, and had
he (Mr. Darlington) not secured some
dozen votes for the Senator by making a
personal appeal, the township would have
Rone unanimously for Hastings. Some evi
dence of the old Everhart, Darlington and
Butler contests yet exist, as waB shown in
some of the districts where men have been
marked and cut for their disloyalty to the
Republican ticket last fall, but on the whole
the result is regarded as an anti-ring victory.
The vote in this borough was as follows:
Korthward, delegates, Jackson, Hughes,
"William Gallagher, Joseph Dicks; instruc
tions, Hastings, 99; Delamater, 45; Stone, 1.
Southward, delegates, J. T. Gibson, James
Stark, George E. Hoopes, "W. E. "Wall; in
structions, Hastings, 1GS; Delamater, 84.
Eastward, delegates, Joseph Bestie, Harry
C. Reagan, V. T. Hannnm, Enoch Gibbs;
instructions, Hastings, 204; Delamater, 76.
"Westward, delegates, Samuel J. Par
ser, John J. Gheen, Thomas "Whist
ler, F. I. Ingham; instructions, Hastings,
179, Delamater 11. The borough instructs
unanimously for Passmore and Stewart.
Fourteen election districts heard from give
Hastings 33 and Delamater 9 delegates.
JJajor McCauley, Hastings' leader in the
county, claims 100 out of the ISO delegates.
The Democrats held their primaries this
evening, all the four wards instructing for
Pattison. The delegates are as follows:
Southward, L.B. King; "Westward, J. F.E.
Hanse; Korthward, George Kerr, Richard
Corcoran; Eastward, R. Jones Monaghan,
MONTOOTH HEN MEET.
Da Bols Republicans Hold an Enthusiastic
Meeting.
- Du Bois, June 7. A large and enthusi
astic Montooth meeting was held in this
place last evening. Each of the several
wards was represented. No brass band was
Heeded to arouse enthusiasm and none who
were present could have had a doubt of the
earnestness in the cause of the Allegheny
man of all those present. C. P. Burnham,
of the Courier, called the meeting to order
and explained its purpose. Justice of the
Peace G. Woodring, was elected Chairman
and Census Enumerator Moore, Secretary.
Remarks eulogistic of Majar Montooth were
jaade by Major James Hine and several
others, after which a committee of three on
resolutions was appointed.
Among the resolutions adopted were the
following:
Resolved. That it is believed that Major Ed
vard A-Montooth is the choice of a majority
of the Republican voters of this conntv, and
that his nomination for the exalted office of
Governor of the Keystone State would be a
tribute to his personal worth, a just recognition
of the magnificent Republican majorities of
Allegheny county, and that it would tend to
bring out the largest possible Republican vote
in the coming campaign.
Resolved, That we would deprecate the
nomination of any man which would estrange
n large body of liepnblican voters, and, thus
reeling, we pledge ourselves individually to use
every honorable effort to secure the nomina
tion of Major Edward A Montooth for Gov
ernor. FOUR MORE FOE PATTISON.

CnAaiBEESBtrBG, June 7. Franklin
county will be represented in the State
Democratic Convention by four Pattison
delegates. The County Democratic Com
mittee met here to-day and fixed August
C as the time for holding the County
Convention, and eleced C. E. Fendrick,
E. B. Diehl, August Duncan and P. M.
Shoemaker as State delegates. There was
a very hard fight made to elect Wallace
delegates, but the Pattison candidates were
elecfed bv nearly two to one. A small
crowd of Democrats who favored Wallace's
candidacy had agents riding thecountrv
from end to end for a week, bnt secured
only 14 votes out of 37 for the highest can
didate against 25 for the highest Pattison
delegate.
One of the Wallace leaders is showing this
evening a letter from the Clearfield candi
date thanking him for his efforts in his be

Baying that he expected to have, by last
night, the influence of a leading railroad

P5PECIAL TELEGBAJC TO THE DISPATCH.!
Allentown, June 7. Robert F.
Wright, the well-known lawyer, politician
and banker ot this city was to-day formally
entered in the race for the Democratic nom
ination for Governor. The County Conven
tion to elect 8 delegates to the State Conven
tion met in the Court House this afternoon,
'and was presided over bv A. H. Focht, a
.Sowden Democrat. The only element of
interest was the contest lor seats from the
Sixth ward, Ailentown, and the Second

over an hour to decide in favor of the sit
'ting members. The resolutions adopted at
the late meeting of the county standing com
mittee that the delegates from Lehigh sup
port Mr. Wright lor Governor so long as
there Is a possibility of his nomination, and
that he be allowed to name the delegates
from Lehigh, were re-adopted.
This simplified the work of the conven
tion and Mr. "Wright was called before the
meeting. He thanked the convention for
the honor it conferred upon him and named
as delegates ex-Congressman J. Sowden,
Arthur G. Dewalt, Marcus L. Kline, Hugh

Scbanton, June 7. Charles P. Don
nelly, Chairman of the Democratic City
Committee of Philadelphia, and ex-Judge
R. J. Iennon, the same city, were in
Scranton arranging for headquarters for ex
Governor Pattison and his immediate
lriends at the coming State Con
vention. Both are affable, clear
headed representative men ot their
party, and are deeply interested in the for
tunes of Mr. Pattison, of whose nomina
tion they speak of with serene confidence.
Referring to the pnblished statements of a
large defection in the Philadelphia delega
tion from Pattison to "Wallace, Mr. Don
nelly said: "Notwithstanding the reports,
two-thirds of the Philadelphia delegation
of 65 will come to Scranton for Mr. Pat
tison." "To what do you attribute the pnblished
reports that the Philadelphia delegates 'are
going over to Mr. Wallace?"
"It is simply a subtle effort to lessen the
strength of Mr. Pattison with the people.
These reports are circulated more for this
purpose than to promote the candidacy of
Mr. "Wallace. Pattison's strength is grow
ing daily with the people, and his political
opponents fear it If there is to be any
successful result hoped for in November, it
will be with a candidate who possesses all
the elements of strength that .Pattison
does."
"How does Mr. Pattison stand with re
gard to ballot relorm ?"
"I can only say that all of the people who
are interesting themselves in his behalf are
unqualifiedly in lavor of the reform, and he
has been always in favor of any movement
for the benefit of the people."
"What assurance have you for support
for Mr. Pattison outside of Philadelphia?"
"From the counties that have elected
delegates, as well as those who are about to
elect, we have the most pronounced assur
ance of his success. There is no question
abont his strength. It is a known quantity,
and his friends are assured that he will be
the nominee of the Scranton convention."
"Will any Philadelphians come to this
place outside of those who are not dele
gates?" "Yes. A deep interest has been aroused,
and there will be a corresponding attend
ance. In my judgment the Scranton con
vention will be as large as any convention
ever held in Pennsylvania."

Montooth Will Receive the Support of the
Westmoreland County Delegates.
rSTICIAI. TELEGRAM TO TH! DISPATCH 1
Scottdale, June 7. The Republican
primaries in Westmoreland county passed
off very quietly to-day, and little Interest
was manifested save in the contest for dele
gates. There was considerable cutting and
slashing done in this, and had it not been
for an intimation given that Vinton, of
Jeannette, was for Delamater, he would
have polled nearly everything here. As it
is he polled a fair vote. Sloan, of Irwin;
Peters, of La t robe; Warnock, of Manor sta
tion, and Orr, of West Newton, all pro
nounced Montooth men, will like
ly be nominated. The fight for Regis
ter and Recorder is between Lew
is Thompson and Editor Shyrock.
Best will likely be nominated for Tresnrer,
Henderson.Thompson and Bear for Commis
sioners, Hansell and Johnson for Auditors.
Colonel George F. Huff has no opposition
for Congress, and will consequently be
nominated. There were seven candidates
for Legislature, and the nomination of
Porter, Murphy, Hammer and Schriver is
predicted.
A dispatch from Greenshnrg says: The
Republican primary election occurred here
this afternoon. It was hotly contested, and
at this hour the indications are that the
following ticket has been nominated: For
Congress, Hon. George F. Huff; for Assem
bly, George W. Sarver, Samuel D.
Murphy, K. 15. Hammer and W. N.
Porter; for Register and Recorder, Lewis
Thompson; for County Treasurer, J.W. Bar
nett; Commissioner, T. W. Shaw and Hugh
Henderson; Auditor, W. A. Hansell and
James Johnson. The delegates to the State
Convention, it is safe to say, are W. S. Van
dyke, W. M. Jordan, J. J. Warnock and
W. H. Slaam. They are all anti-Delamater
people and will vote for Montooth, or in
fact anything to beat Delamater.

Washington, Pa., June 7. Reports

Atlantic Citt June 7. Senator Quay
left hero Thursday, going direct to Wash
ington. Ha was asked if it was true that a
trnce had been made between himself and
Chris. Magee. Quay, you know, is oily.
He said he'd never had any trouble with the
young Republican leader of the Alleghenies.
He tried to convince the correspond
ent that he and Magoe were as
fast friends as when the "riot damage bill"
was pending in the Legislature. Of course,
he admits that Chris can control the delega
tion from the connty in the Gubernatorial
convention, and unwillingly he shows that
Montooth is simply a mask for something
that is to come at Harrisburg after the State
convention is called to order.
Talking of his son Dick, who hag made
the rounds ot all the leading cities of the
country, and who has caught more news
paper friends than ever his father
did, the Benator said he believed the
boy would make his mark in the House at
Harrisburg, He seems to take a special
pride in the fact that he is sending his son
to represent the people of Beaver county.
Cameron did the same thing when he sent
J. Donald to the Senate, but he changed
the sequence in this way: He retired him
self, and left the mantle to his son. Quay
will be in the national Senate, while Dick
will be in the State House.
There is a whisper that Qnay will leave
the National Congress before the next cam-,
paign opens. If you put the question to
him he regards it as an insult He says he
was elected for six years and he means to
serve outthat period. He will remain
Chairman of the National Republican
Committee and look carefully after Con
gressional fights all over the conntry.
BATHE'S DUMMY CANVASS.
How a. Pennsylvania Ulan Expresses Him
self About it ntNcw York.
rrnou a staff correspondent, j
NewXouk, June 7. A Pennsylvania
man commenting on the recent extraordi
nary course ol Hon. Thomas M. Bayne in
withdrawing from the Congressional contest
after having successfully made the race be
fore the people, said to me: "I am not a
politician, and of course do not set up my
opinion as an expert in such matters. Bnt
it seems to me that Colonel Bayne has trifled
with his constituency. Professional poli
ticians may consider this sort ot thing legit
imate, bnt I do not. Pnt it in this way:
Snppose I am a resident of Bayne's district
and one of his supporters, as I surely would
have been had I lived there. The presump
tion is that I wonld have worked hard
among my friends to secure victory at the
primaries. I should have probably spent
time and money in my way to arrive at this
result. I am acting, mind you, in this on
the supposition that it is a bona fide can
vass and not what Bayne now calls a mere
vindication. Under the circumstances I
have some rights in the matter. It is more
than likely that were he not a candidate, I
should have some other friend whom I
would like to support. By this political
trick, however, the rights of every man
supporting him at the primaries are uncere
moniously annulled. The representatives
selected go to the convention with the ex
pectation of nominating the man for whom
they fought. That man at a critical mo
ment, to serve his own personal purposes,
suddenly declines to be a candidate and
nominates a man for whom we at the prim
aries would have never voted. The express
will of his constituency is thus doubley and
contemptuously ignored.
".Now, if the cause of his declination had
arisen between the holding of the primaries
and the convention it would have been
another matter. Bnt in this instance the
entire canvass was a dummy canvass, a
trick on his part, and his best friends, were
unwillingly made catspaws to rake his chest
nnts out of the fire. I never knew of a more
flagrant case of the abuse of public confi
dence than that displayed by Colonel Bayne
in this instance. Had he gone before the
primaries with the express understanding
that he sought only a vindication and wonld
not expect the nomination when tendered,
the matter would bear a different construc
tion. In that case, however, he probably
wonld not have received a baker's dozen
votes. However, it is not my funeral. If
Bayne's friends in his district can stand it,
the rest of us ought to -get along."

A Plttsburger at Atlantic City Airs Himself

ISTXCIAI. TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.1
Atlantic City, June 7. A close friend
of Major Montooth is among the visitors
from Pittsburg here. He will not allow the
nse of his name, though If you go back five
years ago to the Sheriff's office yon can
probably gness who it is. He says that Tom
Bayne made the mistake of his life when he
withdrew from the Congressional race in favor
of Stone. He speaks of Bayne in the highest
terms, and adds that he cannot understand
what wires were pulled to draw him out of
a fight that he believes he really held in
the palm of his hand. He says the tariff
talk that brings Bayne into the McKinley
issue is all nonsense. Bayne represented all
the heavy iron manufacturers on both sides
of the dividing line between Pittsburg and
Allegheny; and he sees no reason why he
could notjhave continued to do so.
The man that talks thus has always been
a stalwart Republican. He is in a mood
now, however, to vote for a Democrat as
against Stone. He will not say anything
disparaging against the latter's personal
character, but he insists that a true Republi
can should represent the great industrial
center as against the fake platform of tariff
reform.

WASINGTON, June 7. Reports sent

Colonel Bayne had had a meeting and that
it had not been a pleasant one are entirely

Qnay read the Colonel a severe lecture on
his blunder at the late nominating conven

the Senator informed him curtly that no ex
planation could explain, such a performance.
One important thing was lacking to make
the story true, and that was the meeting of
the two gentlemen. They have not seen each
other since the convention. The Senator
knew nothing of the Colonel's intention till
he read of his withdrawal in the newspapers,
and, though there is nothing definite on the
snbject, it is whispered that from the mo

Be Recognizes the Ex-Chancellor's Eight to
Public Expression
THROUGH HIS CHOSEN CHANNELS.
1 Statesman Who Has Gendered a Great Benlce to
His Country.
General VonCaprivi does not accredit the
indiscriminate language reputed to the ex
Chancellor and does not find it necessary to
forward a note to any foreign representa
tives. Suggestions have been given to the
official press to allude to Prince Bismarck
only when necessary and then to refer to
him as the greatest of living Statesmen.
tCOPYBIGHT.l
BT THE NEW TOBK ASSOCIATED
mass.:
Beblin, June 7. Chancellor Ton Cap
rivi .did not send a circular note to the
powers, nor did he communicate with any
foreign representative except the Austrian
Embassador, on the snbject of Printfe Bis
marck's utterances' in interviews with news
paper correspondents. The alleged remarks
of the Prince to the effect that Germany was
not bound by treaty to assist Austria in the
event of a war with Russia over the struggle
for dominance in the Balkan peninsula
caused Count Kalnoky to inquire how far the
Emperor and the Chancellor shared this in
terpretation of the responsibilities of the
alliance.
General Von Caprivi in his response,
avoiding the discussion of such an interpre
tation, declined to attach any value to the
reported interviews with the retired states
man. Prince Bismarck has written to both
Signor Crispfand Count Kalnoky correct
ing the impressions arising from these re
ports of interviews. The Emperor and his
Ministers concur in respectful treatment of
the ex-Chancellor.
BECOGNIZE HIS FULL EIGHTS.
They recognize his full right to a public
expression of his views on State affairs
through any medium he may choose. Sug
gestions have been given to the official press
to allude to Prince Bismarck only when
necessary, and to then speak of him with
unvaried courtesy as a statesman who has
rendered the greatest service to his conntry,
but who has probably outlived his capacity
to guide the affairs of the nation. This ex
actly represents the attitude the Emperor
desires the Ministers to assume toward
Prince Bismarck.
The North German Gazette, which is now
as mnch Chancellor Ton Caprivi's organ as
ever it was Prince Bismarck's, seeks to
minimize the import of the Prince's utter
ances by declaring them to be those of a
mere private gentleman having nothing
whatever to do with the present policy ot
the Empire or with the means of influenc
ing it.
still holds intimate relations
This view of the ex-Chancellor' position,
however, ignored the fact that he still holds
intimate relations and a continual corre
spondence with the heads of the Federal
States, the leaders of the Conservatives and
National Liberals, besides maintaining
tonch with foreign statesmen. The Govern
ment may be glad to accept his assistance to
pass the army bill.
The Hamburgher Ifachrichten intimates
that the Prince, if he enters Parliament,
will throw the weight of his influence on
the side of Chancellor Ton Caprivi with
whose policy at home and abroad he con
tinues to be in with sympathy. Nothing is
oenniteiy ueciuea as to nis accepting a
seat in the Reichstag, but it is understood
he will not do so unless occasion demands
his presence to justify his policy as con
tinned by Chancellor Ton Caprivi. The
occasion is likely soon to arise.
DISCLOSE SOME TEMPBE.
The commission on the army bill has dis
closed a complete show of temper toward
the Government proposals. Before the
Whit30ntide, Herr Richter alone openly
opposed the credit demands. Now Dr.
Windthorst, Herr Benigsen and even some
of the Conservatives on the commission de
clare that the country will not support the
continuous increase in the military charges.
The frank admissions of General Terdy Dn
Ternois, Minister of War, that he did not
know how much more money he wonld be
required to ask, roused remonstrance on
every side.
The opinions of the constituencies were
ascertained during the recess, and these
have incited the members to demand ex
plicit proposals for the augmentation of the
numerical strength of the peace effective
with the definite budget The Center party,
the Freisinnige, Tolksparted and Socialists
are also combining to refuse support of the
bill unless it is accompanied by a provision
for a shorter period of compulsory motary
service.
HEBE EICHTEE'S DEMANDS.
Herr Richter demands as the price of his
support the establishment of a two years'
service, the abolition of the imperial guard,
the abolition oi the steam system by which
civil posts are recorded to sub-officers on re
tiring irom the service, the suppression of
the cadet schools and the abolition of every
thing which assists aristocrats to a special
rank in the army. Finally he demands the
suppression of the sentenuate. The coali
tion will not insist upon all contracts.
Before the opposition of the commission
became apparent the Government expected
to pass the army bill and close the Reichs
tag during thefirst week of Jnlv. leaving
the labor bill until the autumn ses
sion. The labor commission will 'not
complete its discussian of the bill for several
weeks. The members desire an adjonrn
ment nntil the antumn; 'the Government
does not desire to pass the measnre until it
is seen how the workmen behave after the
expiration of the Socialist law at the end of
September.
NOT TILL AUTUMN. .
It is improbable, therefore, that the bill
will take its final shape until the end of the
autumn. Long before then the upheaval ot
the army bill may alter the position of the
Government.
The Lower Honse of the Prussian Diet to
day rejected the clerical funds bill on third
reading. Minister Ton Gossler sought
to weaken the Centerist opposi
tion by declaring that Dr. Wind
thorst was inaccurate in asserting
that the Catholic Bishops disapproved of
the measnre. On the contrary, the Minister
said, the Pope had informed the Govern
ment through the same clerical channels
that were chosen in the negotiations for the
abrogation ot the May laws, that the Church
approved of the bill. This statement did
not affect the issue, the Centerists voting
solidly, and a number of Conservatives and
National Liberals joining them in rejecting
the measure.
THE ENGLISH CONCESSIONS.
Advices received from London at the for

Malet, the British Ambassador, have been
practically accepted, besides which the En

land. The report of Major Wissman published
the erection of fortifications at Tabora and
Cinja, and the establishment of stations in
the lakes, on which he says small armed
steamers are indispensable. The white

on board the Mohican, May 14. The pre
sentation was made by Commander Shep
ard, ol the Mohican, who said the boat had
been bnilt at Mare Island Navy
Yard by order of Admiral Kim
berly. Commander Shepard read a
letter from Admiral Brown, commanding
the Pacific squadron, in which he says tho
boat was forwarded by him at the right re
quest of Secretary Tracy in recognition of
the invaluable assistance rendered by the
chief in leading and directing the Samoans
in their noble efforts to save the lives of the
shipwrecked officers and seamen of the
United States ships on the 16th of March,
1889, and for his untiring assistance in sav
ing the property of the United States Gov
ernment. HOISTS THE FLAG.
The chief replied, expressing his grati
tude. He has since hoisted at the stern of
his boat the Samoan flag, which was hauled
down by the Germans at the time of deporta
tion of'Malietoa.
The wreck of the German man-of-war
Adler has been sold for S530. The German
Government is responsible for removing the
wreck, which at present shuts out the lower
harbor lights so that no vesEei can come in
at night. The first appointment in the new
Government has been made. Thomas Mnben
has been made Survey General.
Chief Olo has been tried for treason for
stating that Mataafa was the real King of
Samoa, and that a letter from the Powers in
which they had appointed him had been
suppressed.. At the trial of the accused
Chief the German Consul addressed those
present stating that Malietoa had been de
clared King and any treasonable talk
should not be tolerated.
DEMANDS HIS EELEASE.
When the chief was arrested for treason
Mataafa wrote a peremptory letter to
Malietoa demanding that the man be re
leased. Malietoa's chiefs advised the King
to resent the letter. The American Consul
was sent for, and pointed ont to Mataafa
that he must recognize he had no right to
address Malietoa in snch fashion. The
latter in the meantime replied to the letter,
and said that the man would remain where
hewas and be tried iy the Faipnle.
Tlie Monono people are the ones causing
what little trouble exists on the island.
Tamasese's representatives are strong sup
porters of Malietoa, and are doing all they
can to assist the Government.

gone to Jolnit to inquire into affairs there.
The Chief Justice of Samoa is anxiously
looked for.

Paeis, June 8. The release of the Dnke

Carnot himself. A large number of the
Republican party was unwilling to have
him distinguished by any special act of
clemency.
Their favorite idea was to pardon him on
the 14th of July, the anniversary of the
fall of the Bastile. This is often selected as
a sortof gayety to wardsjto whom Govern

Sorry That He Will Hare Few More Pleasant Birthday

Walt Whitman, the "good, gray poet,"
feels that the time of his vindication is at
hand. He says that those who misunder
stood him are now loudest in their apprecia
tion. rSPECTAI. TELSOrtAM TO THS PISFATCR.
Philadelphia, June 7. Walt Whit
man is still able to get out on fine after
noons, when he is wheeled to his favorite
spot near the Market street ferry, where he
can see the boat come in and enjoy the sight
of the white sails of the racing yachts. The
poet spoke to-day of his recent birthday
celebration as follows:
"Of courselwas p leased. The harmonies
of the occasion were very .grateful to me.
Bob Ingersoll .is a wonderful man, and his
speech of half an hour, Judge Garrison
says, was a 'revelation.' 'Royal Bob,' as
Garfield called him, was never in better
feather, and how deep he goes and how he
soars. When I do die I will chiefly regret
that I cannot attend any more birthday
symposiums like the last"
A PEESOKAL DEFENSE. .
The poet continued: "I have been called
a sensualist, taking no thought of the spir
tual essence and spiritual needs of humani
ty. I am the poet of the body, and I am the
poet of the soul. In that book yon will find
the soul is celebrated equally with the body,
the mind equally with the heart, the spirit
equally with the sense. Then, I have been
acensed of infidelity, though I say, 'A
mouse is miracle enougn to stagger sex
tillions of infidels.'
"Francis Howard Williams, of German
town, wrote me, the other day, something
that pleased me vefy much. He writes:
'There has been a deal of howling and shud
dering conventionality about you, dear
Walt, a deal of holding up of hands In
shocked amazement the dear people all the
while forgetful of the fact that in
reading Whitman they were look
ing into a clear mirror which showed
them the reflection of themselves and
which did not make them look
prettier simply because the mirror was not
cracked. And amid all this thunder
shower of vituperation you calmly went on
your way, saying, I do not trouble my spirit
'to vindicate itself or be understood. I see
that the elementary laws never apologize.
To-day there are signs that the vindication
for which you waited 35 or 40 years has
come, and in the right way from without
And it has come from those compelled there
to by inexorable truth.
A TEOPHET AND BAED
Said the old poet: "I see good sense in
what was said by John Herbert Clifford, a
young Gernan Unitarian, who called me
prophet and bard, and who quoted Voltaire
as saying, that if God did not exist man
must invent Him. That old concern to take
care of God goes with modern prompting to
take care of man. Take care of man and
God will take care of Himself and of men's
substitute for Him."
The old poet paused awhile and then con
tinned: "I had a mission, as I understood
it, and I was trne to it. Why wasto more
words? Bnt I will merely add that in
Lewis' life of Goethe I read, on the 30th day
of November, 1884, some words which
touched me nearly words evidently
Goethe's own, thongh Lewis does not credit
them to Goethe. The six sentences may be
a key to those who like me, bnt say they
don't understand my book. Here are the
words from Goethe I set so much store by:
WHAT CONSTITUTES A POET.
"The laws of poetry are foreign to. inno
cent natnre, only the experience of cor
ruption has given origin to them. Bnt as
soon as that corruption has taken place and
natnral innocence has vanished from man
ners, the laws of property are sacred and
moral feeling will not offend. They have
the same validity in an artificial world as'
the laws of natnre have in a world of inno
cence. But the very thing which consti
tutes the poet is that he banishes
from himself everything which reminds
him ot an artificial world that he may re
store natnre in her primitive simplicity.
And if he baa done thn he has thereby ab
solved from all laws by which a perverted
heart seeks security against itself. He is
pure, he is innocent, and whatever is per
mitted to innocent nature is permitted also
to him. If thou who readest and hearest
him art no longer innocent, and if thon
canst not momentarily become so, by his
purifying presence, it is thy misfortune and
not his, thou forsakest. He did not sing for
thee." '

the following preamble to the resolution:
Whereas, Reports are being widely circu
lated through the newspapers reflecting npon
the management of the Bureau of Pensions, in
which it is charged:
First Thar the present Commissioner of
Pensions has been engaged in selling to certain
employes of the Pension Office shares of stock
in a corporation or company of which he is
President, which is organized for the pnrpose
of introducing a patent refngerator.which it is
claimed is impracticable and worthless, and
that in consideration of such purchase saia em
ployes are promoted in office, and that said
Commissioner of Pensions has recently, by an
unjust and partial ruling, advanced and
caused to be taken up out of
their order many thousands of the claims
of a certain attorney residing in the city of

said Commissioner in a bank in the city of

Johnstown, June 7. At the Demo
cratic primaries in this county to-day, which
were held under the Crawford connty sys
tem, the fight for Treasurer was exceedingly
warm, this being the most important office
in the county, under the present law being
worth overf7,000 per year. There were five
candidates in the field, but from present in
dications C J. Mayer, a prominent business
man of this place, is way in the lead. For
the Legislature Messrs. M. Fitzharris, E. T.
McKealis and J. E. Strayer are in a close
race, and it will require the official returns
to determine the matter.
The question of delegates to the State
Convention did not seem to enter the minds
of the people to-day, but it is surmised that
when the committeemen elected to-day meet
on Monday to elect State delegates, the
fine work of the politicians will be seen.
The people are largely for Pattison, bnt the
issue was lost sight of in the contest for lo
cal offices, and the politicians will likewise
manipulate the delegates for Wallace, or
have them so instructed.

SPECIAL TILTOBAM TO TIB DISPATCH.1
Ambot, III, June7; In a quiet room on
the shady side of one of Amboy's pleasant
homes stands a dainty bed, upon which,
with rosy cheeks, tightly closed eyes and
half smiling lips, slumbers pretty Grace
Gridley, the daughter of one of Amboy's
prominent merchants, the "Sleeping
Beauty," as she has come to be known.
On the night of March 15, 1890, she re
tired to rest as usual in perfect health, so
far as her parents knew. The next morning
she did not appear at the breakfast
table at her usual honr. Her mother
went np to call her, and found her sleeping
so soundly that she decided not to awaken
her, saying: "It would do her good." So
Grace slept all that day, and when snnper
time came she was still sleeping and her
""""" Juuna it impossible to arouse her.
A NATTJEAI, AT.ATg-T.
Becoming alarmed, the family called in
physicians, bnt every method known to
them was applied unsuccessfully. Medical
men came from other cities and a consulta
tion was held, but they could not
solve the mystery. They had all
had cases or trance and lad read
of cases similar to Grace's, but never
in their experience had they en
countered a case like this one. Only
once since falling into her long sleep has
Miss Grace shown the slightest conscious
ness. When she had been asleep for about
a week the nurse left the room a few
moments. TJppn her return she found that
Grace had arisen from her bed and left the
room.
In another apartment not far away she
was found, where she had apparently gone
lor the pnrpose of reading a Bible,"as the
book lay in front of her, where she appar
ently dropped it after reading awhile,
and had again returned to ber
strange slumber. She was placed in her
bed again and has not since shown the
slightest signs of awakening. The young
lady has, strange to say, lost bnt little flesh,
during her long sleep, and appears to rest
quite as calmly and easily as a child in
gentle slumber.
CST LIKE NORMAL SLEEP.
The beating of her heart and her respira
tion are natural, her flesh is warm and nat
nral in tint, and the sleep appears
to be perfectly normal. Food is
given in a liquid form, but not
in very large quantities. After being
placed in her month, the food passes into
the stomach withont any apparent effort at
swallowing. There are many surmises as .
to the cause of her strange condition, but
only one that meets any favor
Dnring the winter there was a religious
revival in Amboy. Among the most en
thusiastic was Grace Gridley. Every
night saw her present taking part
in the exercises with ever increasing
fervor. On the night of the 15th of March
the meeting was attended by more than
usual religions excitement, and itisthonght
this cnlminated in the complete prostration
of the young lady's nervous system.

Columbus, Jnne 7. The law-abiding
citizens are trembling with fear in anticipa
tion of the resnlU of the strike on Monday
next. The city has been filled with an un
desirable class of men called here in the
hope of getting employment on the street
railway lines in place of the regular em
ployes. Efforts at a compromise on the wage
question have been in progress since
Tuesday when the strike was inaugurated.
Mayor Brack has been officiating as peace
maker. To-day he thought he had accom
plished his purpose. The employers had
agreed to accept the proposition of the com
pany made May 29, which was an advance.
Bnt to-night the employes held a meeting
ahd agreed by unanimous consent not to ac
cept the proposition. The Mayor was pres
ent and stated he bad been placed in a bad
light before the community and the com
pany by their course, and informed the
strikers they could depend npon it from
this time on he wonld enforce the law and'
prevent any interference with the lines.
The company say they will start the cars
Monday morning. The injunction restrain
ing the employes from interfering with the
property of the company will be in opera
tion Monday, and it is expected the Sheriff
will be on hand to enforce the order of the
the Court. The Mayor and Chief of Po
lice are making arrangements to have
the fnll force on the ground Monday
morning at 9 o'clock. To the present time
the sentiment of the people has been with
the employes almost exclusively. The dif
ferent labor organizations and unions have
adopted resolutions tendering sympathy and
suDport, and many of them have inaugur
ated a boycott on the road in case they suc
ceed in running the cars withont the regu
lar men. The situation is ripe for a riot.
