Chairman Mapes has taken charge of the
Independent Republican campaign. He
wants a majority for Pattison so big that no
one will ever claim it as an exclusive Dem
ocratic rictory. He thinks the defeat of
Delamater and Quay will be to the perma
nent advantage of the Republican party.
' r SPECIAL TELT.GBAJI TO THE DISPATCH.
Philadelphia, September 2. The In
dependent Republican Committee is at last
ready for active work. George E. Mapes,
who has been named as the Chairman,
served three successive terms in the State
Legislature as a representative of "Venango
county, and was still a member when he re
moved to Philadelphia in 1682.
Although he has always been a Re
publcan he did not, when in the
legislature, hesitate to do what
seemed to be his duty, regardless of
the dictation of party managers. He was
one of tbe managers for the state of the
prosecution of Kemble, Rumbaugh, Salter,
Petroff and others in 1879, for bribery and
corrupt solicitation, which resulted in the
conviction of Petroffand the entering of a
plea of guilty by the others.
The Slot Open nnd DIrccC Rood.
"When asked to-day if he was to be Chair
man of the Independent Republican State
Committee, Mr. lapes said: "At the re
quest of a nuibrof prominent Republic
ans in the State I have agreed to organize
the State Committee. I presume I shall
continue at the head of it through the cam
paign, unless somebody who is better qual
ified will accept the place. In that case I
will gladly step down into the ranks, as I
have no personal ambitions to serve."
"Will there be an Independent Republic
an ticket in the field?"
"It is not the present intention to have
any. The purpose of this movement is to
defeat and rebuke the private-wire bossism
which forced Delamater's nomination. It
has been deemed best by most of the Re
publicans connected with this movement to
go by the most open and direct road to this
result."
"Which means ?"
Wunt nn Ovei vrlichninc Majority.
"That we shall try to persuade Repub
licans who are tired or Quay's dictation, and
vho do not believe that Mr. Delamater rep
resents either the interests or the will of the
party, to vote for Mr. Pattison. We desire
to accomplish that result by a majority so
large that nobody will ever dream of call
ing it a Democratic victory. Pattison has
open tried once in tbe Governor's chair.
He gave a clean and honorable administia
tion. No good citizen, whether Republic
an or Democrat, can look back to the four
years of that administration and find a dirty
spot to put a finger on, nor point out a sin
gle opportunity which he did not try to use
for the advantage of the Commonwealth.
Nobody claims he was infallible, or he is
incapable of making a mistake, but his con
duct satisfied everybody that he strove
earnestly always to do what was right, and
even the most pronounced Republicans
conceded that in the main he did wisely."
"But conceding, Mr. Mapes, that" you
can elect Pattison, and that he will mate a
good Governor, what is the gain for the Re
publican party?"
Tlic Time for Action.
"Isn't it better to defeat and rebuke bad
leadership in 1890 than to permit bad leader
ship to defeat the partjftin 1892, when the
stake is a Presidency? We are Republicans
profoundly believing that the prosperity of
country depends on the continuation of its
great policy of protection to American in
dustries. "We won the election of 1888 by
a dangerously narrow margin. Who be
lieves that we could carry the country this
tall? When success brings disregtsrd of
party principles and pledges, and leiMers
inbolent with power, set up a monarchy
within the party, defeat is sure to follow.
Is it better to take bitter medicine, or to die
of disease? Shall we teach our leaders and
the country that those who hold high places
in the Republican party must be worthy of
them, or shall we wait until the stench of
their disrepute so fills the nostrils of the
people that the party is altogether over
thrown in shame and disaster? The strength
of the Republican party as of any party
long in power, must lie in its
willingness to punish its own rascals and
purify its own leadership. If the time ever
comes when money is our main dependence
lor success, and silence our only defense
against charges which, if true, cover us with
unworthiness and dishonor, what hope have
we, and what would an honest man think of
the country that would give us any hope of
successful existence?"
How Lincoln Would Voir.
"Then roar purpose is to rebuke Quayism
by defeating Quay's candidate?"
"How do you suDpose Abraham Lincoln
would Tote, if he were living, and a citizen
of Pennsylvania this fall? What would
any one of the fathers of the Republican
party feel to be his duty? "We are Repub
licans. "We expect to vote for Republican
candidates for Congress and the Legis
lature generally throughout the State.
They represent our principles of National
policy. Governor Pattison's views on the
tariff question have no more to do with leg
islation on the tariff question than the views
of the man in the moon. His influence upon
the next tariff bill will be exactly the same,
whether he is elected or defeated, and so
will Senator Delamater's,"
"That is doubtless true, but will not the
moral effect of the election of Pattison be to
disorganize the Republican party and lead
to its defeat in '92?" , "
Purification Not DIsorKanlzalloo.
"Oh no. That ghost doesn't walk this year,
Pattison was elected ia 1883, and the party
was so "disorganized" that it carried the
State by 80,000 in 84. Purification is not
disorganization, 'it is reorganization upon
such lines that a Republican may take his
manhood with him to its convention, inde
pendent of arrogant bosses and their mer
cenary henchmen, and vote for the candi
dates afterward with pride in their worth
and uprightness. It means a party whose
high places do not hang on the private wire
of any boss. If Q nay and his candidate are
defeated now the will of the party will have
to be respected in future. If they are not de
feated the party will have no will hereafter
but Quay's will, and men who own and re
spect themselves no sUsding room in the
party at all."
AMONG THE GRANGERS.
Delnmatcr Spends the Day Pleasantly at the

(SPECIAL TEL ECU AM TO THE DISPATCH.1
"Washington, PA., September 2. Sen
ator Delamater, accompanied by Hon. J.
B. Finley, Bon. G. B. Lawrence. Hon. J.
K. Billingsley, Hon. S. P. "White, of
Beaver; Hon. J. B. Donaldson, of Canons
burg; A. J. Edwards, Assistant Postmaster of
Pittsburg, andD. F. Collingwood, arrived at
the fair grounds of the Agricultural Asso
ciation at 11:15 o'clock this morning.
Though the day was very fine, the crowd
was not as large as was expected. This
due, no doubt, to the fact that
not all of the exhibits had been
put in place, and the crowd preferred to at
tend during the latter part of the week.
Everything was in a bustle when the dis
tinguished party arrived, and there was no
attempt to make any good showing ot the
exhibits to the visitors.
Mr. Delamater, with his party, was re
ceived with enthusiasm, when they drove
through the grounds, one cheer after
another following them. To this
the man who is soon to ask
for the people's vote for Governor,
smiled good-humoredly, and raised his hat
repeatedly. Arriving" at Exhibition Hall,
the party was taken in charge by a number
of Washington ladies and served with a
liberal banquet. After a visit to the grand
stand and a view of the races, a reception
was given at the Hotel Main, There Mr.
Delamater had the opportunity of shaking
hands with many ot the good Republicans
of "Washington county.
A SURPRISE IN VEBM0NT.
The Usual Republican Majority Is Cat
Almost to Xolhiuc
"White Rives Junction. Vt., Septem
ber 2. This State to-day voted for State
officers, two Representatives., to Congress
nd a fnll li&t of State Sena
tors and Representatives. Twenty
'cities and towns, including Burling
on give Page (Rep.), for Governor, 3,571;
Brigham (Dem.), 2,041; Allen (Pro.), 113.
In 1888 these towns gave Dillingham
(Rep.) 5.6S6; Shurtleff (Dem.), 2,
489; all others, 116. The returns thus
far received indicate not only
that the Republican vote is very light, but
that tbe ticket has been cut The decrease
in the Democratic vote is not nearly as large
correspondingly this year as that of the Re
publicans. The Prohibition vote remains
about the same so far.
Fifty towns out of 243 in the State give
Page (Rep.). 8,198; Brigbam (Dem.). 4,582;
Allen (Pro.), 440; scattering 3. The
same towns in 1883 gave Dil
longham (Rep.), 12.554; Shurtleff
(Dem.), 4,477; all others 372. The
Republican majority over all in towns so
far as heard Irom g'ive 3,373, against 7.750
in 1888. If the vote in the remaining
towns corresponds with those heard from,
the Republican majority will be the smallest
since the institution ot the bi-ennial elec
tions. STONE OUT FOR WATSON'S PLACE.

tSrECIAL TELEGKA5I TO THE DISPATcn.J
Wabeen, Pa., September 2. The Judi
cial conferees of the Thirty-seventh district
meet at Tioncsta to-day, took ten ballots
and adjourned sine die. The Republicans
of the district are now without a regular
nominee. Higgens, of "Warren and Irwin
ofTionesta, will remain on the Republican
tickt, thus making a three cornered fight
in tbe district, which will assure the elec
tion of Noyes, the Democratic candidate,
president Judge.
Hon. C. W. Stone officially announced
himself as a candidate for Congress to-day
in place of the late Congressman "Watson.
It is claimed that Stone will carry McKean
and Warren counties which will'insure his
nomination. Should this prove true Allen's
chances for tbe Senatorial nomination will
be small as Venango would justly claim
that office. All in all political matters
from a Republican standpoint are quite
complicated.
A LENGTHY CONVENTION.

rCFECIAI. TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.!
Reading, September 2. The Democratic
County Convention met here to-day, and was
in session 11 hours before its work was com
pleted. A full county ticket was nominated.
For tbe Legislature Cyrenius W. Kutz,
S. B. Keppel and F. L. -Reber were nomi
nated. While the convention was at its
work and tbe delegates and candidates
were anxiously looking for the end of
the struggle tor office, an announcement
was made in thesbgySj-r?' a circular to the
delegates that will again plunge the party
woikcrs into another contest lor the nomina

The letter came from County Chairman
Herbst, and in it he announces himself a

Piedmont, W. Va., September 2. The
Republican Congressional Convention of
the Second West Virginia district met here
to-day, with about 250 delegates in attend
ance. The Committee on Resolutions re
ported a platform declaring in lavor of tbe
McKinley bill; commending Speaker Reed,
and calling for an election law, but not
mentioning tbe Lodge bill.
George Harmon, of Grant county, and a
farmer, was nominated for Congress on the
first ballot, over A. G. Dayton, of Barbour,
wbo was thought certain of the nomination.
Harmon was backed by Elkins, Internal
Revenue-Commissioner Mason and District

rsrlCXAL TKLEGEAM TO Till BISPATCH.1
Portland, Me.; September 2. At last
the campaign gets warm. "From this time
until Monday both sides will put in their
best work. Still there is an atmosphere of
doubt as to what tbe Democrats can and may
do. With Reed and McKinley, Lodge and
.Greenhalge, Henderson, of Iowa, and
Mason, of Illinois, as well as General
Henry B. Cleveland and Hon. Herbert M.
Heath speaking in this district there is no
doubt the Republican side of the case
will be well set forth. Mr. Lodge
was in town to-day on his way to fill an
appointment in Freeport to-night. He
said that he was much pleased with his re
ception here. He has had large audiences,
and says the popular feeling seems very en
couraging. Mr. Lodge has no fears whatever as to the
result of the First district, and says the
danger of any loss from the Saco irregulari
ties is amply provided against by the
old and well Known decision of tbe Supreme
Court in this State and in Massachusetts.
But the Republicans of this district are, as
they always have been, a little panicky.
Although it is the customary thing for them
just before election to hear that the Demo
crats are going to have several barrels
of money to use, and although this has only
once or twice happened, yet the rumor al
ways scared them. They have also been
somewhat disheartened this week by the
Saco affair, and the fear of similar difficul
ties elsewhere.
A story gained considerable currency and
credence among the Democrats to-day that"
flaws had been discovered in tbe preparation
of the voting lists at Kittery, by which that
town, with its 250 Republican majority,
could be disfranchised. A private dispatcn
from one the best-known citizens of the
town say3 the lists have been regu
larly made and properly posted
and all formalities complied with.
Mr. Reed has a hard week's work before
him, which his personal friends regret, as
they think he needs rest more than a stump
ing tour. After his Boston speech Wednes
day night he takes the train lor this city.
Thursday morning at Haverhill, Dover and
Salmon Falls he will speak briefly.
LEGISLATURE AND CONGRESS.
The Result of the Meeting of the Chester
Connty Republicans.
rEPECIAL TZLEGBA3I TO THE DISPATCH.!
West Chester, Pa., September 2. Dr.
Snyder presided during the preliminary
movements of the County Republican dom
inating Convention, which met here to-day at
10 o'clock. As Chairman of the Republican
County Committee he held the wand
of power until the convention was in shape
to take care of itself and then Dr. Prizer, of
Richland, directed its course in an able
manner. There were many local statesmen
present from both Chester and Delaware
counties. The following resolution went
through with rip roaring applause:
Whereas, The ReDUbllcan party of Dela
ware county under a custom existing in the
Sixth Congressional district, by which a repre
sentative is alternately selected from that
county, having placed in nomination John II.
Robinson to represent this district in Congress,
therefore resolved that this convention
hereby indorses the nomination of John ii.
Robinson as a candidate for Congress from
this district.
The Northern district was the first taken
up in the Legislative struggle, and Nehe
tuiah C-V-andersiice was nominated on the
first ballot by a vote of 104. Two bal
lots were required to settle the Legis
lative question in the Southern
district. On the second J. C.
West won. In the Eastern district the
present member, D. Smith Talbot, had it
all to himself, and received the unanimous
vote of the convention. David H. Branson,
the "farmers' friend," was early chosen from
irom the Western district.

rBPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.!
Saeatoga, September 2. The Executive
Committee of the National Republican
League met here to-day with nearly every
member present, Tbe main purpose of the
meeting is to map out a plan of campaign

probably early in April. Another object
is to discuss the feasibility of incorporating
both the National and State Leagues.
TEXAS REPUBLICANS FEEL BITTER.
Whites and Blacks Peaceful on the Surface,

San Antonio, September 2. The city
is rapidly filling with Republicans. All
seems to be harmoniously enough on the
surface, and the whites and the colored
brethren seem to dwell together in peace and
unity. There is, however, very plainly an
nnder current ot bitter feeling between" the
two factions.
The Republicans will hold a caucus to
night to arrange for the selection of a tem
porary and permanent officer. It is proba
ble that there will be but two candidates for
nomination for Governor, Webb Hanagan
and Judge Rector.

Franklin, September 2. J. W. Lee
has decided to make another try for the Re
publican nomination for Congress in this

self. He fails, however, to make known his
position on tbe Gubernatorial question.
An effort is being made to induce Hon.H.
L. Foster, of Oil City, to be a candidate for
Congress against Lee, and, if he will con

London, September 2. A meeting of
British ship owners, representing an aggre
gate capital of upward of 100,000,000
sterling, was held to-day. A series ot reso
lutions, was put and carried unanimously by
tbe gentlemen assembled. These resolu
tions were in favor of the federation of the
whole oi thashipping trade of the British
Empire for the purpose of dealing with the
labor question of all parts of the world,
and, in particular, resisting tbe demands
and actions of the trades unions and their
members, for the protection of the officers,
crews and servants of the ship owners
against compulsion and intimidation of the
trade organizations, the indemnification of
members who may make personal sacrifices
for tbe sake of the common good, and, gen
erally, to supervise and promote legislation
affecting the shipping interests.
The scheme includes a powerful cen
tral council, whose headquarters are
fixed in London and the formation of strong
district committees in tbe various shipping
centers to deal promptly with the cases aris
ing at the outports or abroad. Immediate
steps will be taken for the purpose of per
fecting the organization. At the close of
the formal business a resolution was passed,
partially approving the action of the Aus
tralian ship owners in refusing to accede to
the demands of the labor unions as being
subversive of the discipline on ship board,
and pledging the federation to use every
means in its power to help them in the strug
gle. Fresh important adhesions to the fed
eration are expected very shortly which Will
make it the most powerful anion the ship
ping trade has ever established.
A COUNTER-CHARGE.

'BY DUNLAP'S CABLE COMFAXT.l
London, September 2. All sorts of
rnmors are current with reference to the ac
tion of Mrs. O'Shea in the suit for divorce
now pending, in which Mr. Parnell is
named as a co-respondent She has brought
a counter-charge against her husband for
unfaithfulness with three women, one of
whom is a well-kndwn society lady, who is
now separated from her husbanQ,-and an
otEcr a Spanish lady, formerly mthe secret

also charges him with crnelty.
The right Hon. Sir. James Hannen, presi
dent of the divorce court, recently decided
that Mrs. O'Shea had not made a proper
answer, nor disclosed the necessary docu
ment', and gave her 14 days in which to
comply with the court's orders. She has
again failed to do this, and last week she
was notified that an attachment for her
committal would be applied for unless the
particulars were promptly supplied. Her
solicitors are hurrying up the matter in con
sequence of this threat.

Liverpool, September 2. The members
of the Trades Union Congress had a very
noisy meetine this afternoon, when an at
tack was made on the Parliamentary Com
mittee for not carrying out the resolution of
the Dundee Congress on the miners'
eight-hours bill. This caused a
long scene, and virtually a vote
of censure was moved. Mr. Henry
Broadhurst, M. P., for Nottingham, who de
fended the committee, was himself bitterly
attacked, and a stormy personal debate
ensued, which was ultimately stopped by the
application of the cloture.
The committee's action was approved, and
the congress affirmed the principle of State
paid labor and its representation in Parlia
ment, and rejected by a large majority
amendments favoring the nationalization of
land, shipping, railways and all means of
production.

By Associated Press.
London Lord Sackville, as Lord of the
Manor of Stratford-on-Avon, has presented
to the Town Council a claim for encroach
ment and rent in respect to the fountain and
clock tower donated by Mr. George W.
Childs, of Philadelphia. At a county
meeting to-day several speakers denounced
the conduct of Lord Sackville in tbe
matter. They said the spot on which
the fountain stands has not been used as a
public market for 600 years. The Council
holds that there has been no encroachment
unless Lord Sackville can prove his man
orial rights over the middle of the market
square. Lord Sackville's agent writes that
if the Council admits the claim, at the same
time asking that it be not enforced, His
Lordship may refrain from levying rent.
The Council, however, 'has- decided to fight
the claim.

went wide of its mark, however, and before
he could fire a second shot the man was
seized by bystanders and handed over to the

tRFECIAt TELEORAU TO THE DISPATCH.1
Gettysbubg, September 2. The Mal
tese cross, tbe badge of tbe Fifth Army
Corps, so proudly worn by the veterans of
the Pennsylvania Reserves, was everywhere
present in Gettysburg nnd on the battle
field to-day. The Reserves still confi
dently hope for the realizition of their
universal desire, a majestic structure jointly
commemorative of all their commands.
Fully 500 veterans of the various commands
of (that organization were present at the
ceemonies incident to the formal dedication
of the memorials of the 13 reserve commands
who had taken part in achieving the glo
rious victory at Gettvsburg.among the num-
,ber being some of the most prominent
officers. During the morning three of
the monuments were dedicated. At
the First Cavalry lot a bronze fig
ure of "a dismounted cavalry man
on one knee in the act of firing was erected.
The Tenth Infantry monument, at the head
of Big Round Top, is a heroic bronze
statue of a soldier and charger, the
figure resting on a bronze pedestal in all
15 leet high. At the Sixth Infantry lot a
stately obelisk of alternate courses of blue
and-red-rock-iaced granite was dedicated.
At the National Cemetery, where at least
5,000 veterans and visitors had assembled,
ex-Governor Andrew G. Curtin substan
tially sooke as follows:
I acknowledge the honor of presiding here to
day. I saw this place long years ago, when
4,000 dead and wounded lay on this field. I
bought tbe ground and made this beautiful
cemetery, asking the other States who had
men baried here to contribute. It never
cost the United States Government one
cent, and was transferred to it with the agree
ment that they shonld keep it up forever,
which you see they aro doing. Who can pass
down there and look at those 4,000 graves of
the heroes and not feel proud ot their record?
Governor Beaver, in his ad
dress presenting the monuments to
the Gettysburg Battlefield Memorial
Association, emphatically expressed him
self in favor of the erection of a reserve'
memorial hall. He considered it in bad
taste to heretofore give, his reasons for
vetoing the reserve bill, but would
do so some time in the future.
He then turned the monuments over to the
Memorial Association. Colonel Chill W.
Hazzard, of the Twelfth Regiment, on Gen
eral S. W. Crawford's staff in this battle,
in a neat speech, accepted the trust in
behalf of the association of which he is a
member. At the conclusion of the exer
cises Captain Taylor invited the Reserves to
headquarters of the Lambs to partake of a
bountiful supply of "Katalysine" water
and other refreshments.

rSPECTAL TELSGBAM TO TITI DISPATCH. I
Washington, September 2. The big
light in the dome of the Capitol beneath the
feet of tbe Goddess of Liberty blazed out
brilliantly to-night. The Senate held its
first alter sun-down session since the be
ginning of tbe Fifty-first Congresss. The
meeting was rendered necessary by the de
sire of Senators to be heard on the question
of reciprocity which came up to-day for the
first time. The debate being opened by the
brief but rather telling speech of Senator
Hale.
A night session of the Senate always at
tracts a big crowd of spectators, and so it
was this evening. The galleries were full
long before 8 o'clock, tba hour set for con
vening, and the visitors remained late,
although the entertainment presented wa3
not strictly first-class. These curiosity
seekers were indeed rather imposed upon, a
trick of Senator Dolph, who also made a
victim of Senator Vance.
STOLE JUS TIME.
The latter has for many years been fixing
up a great speech intended to set himself
right with his constituents and with South
ern Democrats generally. The Farm
ers' Alliance has been very active
m North Carolina, and the good
natured Mr. Vance felt called upon
to tackle them with a speech. The night
session was ordered especially for Mr.
Vance's benefit, and hosts of his admirers,
who always enjoyed his characteristic story
telling and mirth provoking speeches, were
on hand.
When President Ingalls' gavel fell Mr.
Vance was ready to go on with the pro
gramme, his manuscript was piled high on
the desk,. a glass of Senatorial water was at
his side, and his lips were puckered to say
"Mr. President," when the solemn and
slender Dolph, of Oregon, areas and, being
recognized, began a dry and apparently
long-winded speech in opposition to reci
procity with Canada. The surpriseland dis
appointment of the audience, the Senators
and everybody else was painful.
a disgusted senatob.
Mr. Vance was indeed indignant and dis
gusted. He settled back in bis chair and
waited. To-night only about half the Sena
tors were present, but they seemed to enjoy
themselves. Each of the cloak rooms held a
huge bowl of lemonade and several baskets
of apollinatis on ice. Down in certain corri
mitteo rooms occupied by Senators who
never, never indulge, Senatorial cold tea
was on tap for the favored few invited to in
spect it.
The scene in the Chamber at 10 o'clock,
when Mr. Vance was talking was interest
ing if not inspiring. There were just 20
Senators in the chamber and a dozeu more
.in the cloak rooms where they could easily
be seen through the open door, and a score
more were out of sight in the various com
mittee rooms sampling the smuggled cold
tea. No Interest whatever was shown in
the debate, and everybody appeared much
relieved when a motion was made to ad
journ. Senators dislike night sessions and
do not intend to get into the habit of hold
ing them.
Though there yet remain about 80 pages
of the tariff bill which must be got through
with during the week if the Senators have
to sit all day Sunday, more than 20 pages
of that number are included in the internal
revenue provision of the House bill, which
were struck out entirely by the Senate com
mittee. ALL ABOUT EECIPKOCITY.
There is really very little of importance
yet, to consider in the bill as it stands, and
nearly all the time that yet remains for dis
cussion will be devoted to speech making
on the reciprocity amendments of Aldrich,
Sherman and Hale. There is little or no
doubt that so ale scheme of reciprocity with
the South American Republics will be
tacked on to the bill, but it is quite appar
ent that the Canadian reciprocity amend
ment of Senator Sherman is doomed, with
the exception, perhaps, of the portion relat
ing to coal.
This commends itself to the New En
gland Senators because their regiou can get
coal cheaper from Is ova Scotia than from
Pennsylvania, and they tell the Western
Senators that iu return for this reciprocity it
will enable the fields of Indiana and Ohio
to furnish fuel for Ontario nnd provinces
west. This little bit of tariff log rollintr
may enable the Ohio Senators to insert an
entering wedge lor reciprocity with Canada.
CULLOH HAS A CANDIDATE
For the Place Made Vacant by the Resig
nation of Colonel Clarkson.
rrcou A STAPT COHIIESFOXDEXT.I
Washington, September 2. It appears
to-day that Cluel Clerk Fowler, of the office
of the First Assistant Postmaster General,
who was puffed yesterday as the coming
successor of General Clarkson, is out of tbe
race to-day, notwithstanding he is one of
the best endorsed men who ever sought a
high position. Filley, of Missouri, is also
on the shelf, and none of the many .others
already mentioned have the least cHance,
with the exception of Michener, of Indiana,
the President's friend and a powerful boss
in that State. The Dispatch has it upon
the best authority, and is the first to an
nounce it, that Senator Culloni is quietly
but firmly pushing Hon. A. C. Matthew,
of Illinois, Firs,t Comptroller of the
Treasury, for the place. His appointment
would mean that the Senator would have
his-grip on the postoffice machinery of the
State, and could by its use dictate the elec
tion o! his colleague to sneceed Farwell.
The latter is not congenial to Cullom, and
as Culloni will have at least two years to
serve with Farwell's successor, he would
like to have a hand in bis election, to say
nothing of paving the way for his own elc
tion early in 1893. It is more than likely,
however, that in a high and immensely in
fluential position like that of the Firs't As
sistant Postmaster General the President
will want to have one who is in his confi
denceand of all probable candidates no
ono else seems to fill the bill so thoroughly
as Mr. Michener, from the President's own
State, and for long years his co-worker in
politics.
MURDER OF CLAYTON
Furnishes a Subject for Some Speccb-9!ak
Ins In the House.
Washington, September 2. The Ar
kansas contest case was taken up by the
House to-day. Mr. Cooper of Ohio opened
the debate. He described the state" ol
affairs leading up to the assassination of
Mr. Clayton, and said thejiew of tbe mur
der.which was flashed over the country, was
answered by a a cry of indignant horror.- It
was the opinion of the majority that the
murder grew directly out of the political
methods adopted in that country. Iu that
view the majority but echoed the almost
universal sentiment of all sections. Ballot
box stealing and stuffing, intimidation nnd
murder naturally followed each other.
Wilson, oi Wisconsin, answered this speech,
and then tbe case went over until to-morrow.

Washington, September 2. In con
nection with the presentation of the confer
ence report on the river and harbor appro
priation bill in the House to-day, Chairman
Cannon, of the Committee on Appropria
tions, made an exhaustive statement touch
ing the expenditures authorized in tbe
present session of Congress. He said that
the sum of 5402,134,861 is properly charge
able against the probable revenues of the
Government for the fiscal year 1891 and,
when deducted from tbe latter, shows a sur
plus of $65,279,475.
Following Mr. Cannon, .Representative
Sayres, of Texas, presented a statement for
his Democtatiu colleagues on the committee.
It says that if to tbe ordinary appropriations
of Congress is added tbe permanent and in
definite appropriations as estimated by the
Secretary of the Treasury, to wit, $101,628,
453, we will have as an aggregate of ex
penses for the fiscal year ending June 30,
1891, $461,844,889, as "against 5450,414,337,
the revenues including postal receipts, as
estimated by the Secretary of the Treasury,
thus making the excess of appropriations
over revenues 11,430,442.
WHITE REPUBLICANS AGAINST IT.

1TT.OM A STAVT COniIESPOSDEJJT.1
Washington, September 2. Repre

turned this evening from a visit to his dis
trict, and tells the correspondent of The
Dispatch that he was received with the
greatest enthusiasm by the white Republi
cans on account of tLe onslaught be made
on tbe elections bill as a white Republican
of the South. He declares that without ex
ception the w hite Republicans are opposed
to the bill, and bis conrse has, therefore,
immensely increased his popularity.
"Bnt how about the black Republicans?"
said another representative who had lis
tened to Mr. Ewart's words.
"Oh, they don't count. Most of them
don't know there is such a thing as an elec
tions bill."
"You mean, then, that you must please
the white Republicans at all hazards and
the black ones will vote for you because
they don't know any better ?"
"Well, that's about it," was Mr. Ewart's
response.

by the Gautemalan authorities while a
passenger on au American steamship, and
calling upon him to exact reparation tor the
outrage of which they are the inconsolable
victims. The telegram was referred to tbe
State Department for "investigation and re
port." Acting Secretary Wharton said this af
ternoon that no direct information whatever
in regard to the reported attack upon
Minister Mizner by a daughter of General
Barrundia had been received, and he is in

Washington, September 2. Senator
Qnay gave notice to-day of a motion to de

Maay of tho Firms Eefnse to Surrender Their Ia-i

The Western glass manufacturers met inf
convention in Chicago yesterday. They areV
trying to form a combination to keep up the -
present prices. Many of them are averse to
the idea of a trust, however, and some other
plan may be adopted.
.fPZCIAL TELIGHAM TO THS DISPATCB.l
Chicago, September 2. The window
glass manufacturers west of theAUeghen
ies have been in session to-day at. the Audi
torium buildings for the purpose of forming
a trust or combination to keep up prices.
They did not come to any definite result to
day and at 6 o'clock an adjournment was
taken until to-morrow morning. But dur
ing the day enough was developed in the
conrseof the prolonged discussion to indi-
' ilution that the existing price list,
O J nrltv KritiKfnnlnrv tA tbft mann.
, should be continued, but there
w. itely nothing to make the indi
viy .ms live up to it.
A lesson op experience.
Judging from past experience tbe weaker
firms, which are anxious to gain a foothold,
would start to cutting rates as soon as the
market slackened and would contract their
product to brokers on terms which would
make it very difficult and perhaps impossi
ble to maintain prices op a paying basis.
At the last meeting various schemes were
suggested to remedy this defect, but noth
ing was done, the matter being passed over
until to-day, and in tbe meantime the dele
gates have consulted with their various!
firms.
One of the first propositions advanced
was the formation of a gigantic corporation
like the United Glass Company, which
shall absorb all Western factories not now
included in the United Glass Company, and
give them stock in return for their plants.
This met with little favor.
TOO EADICAL A STEP.
It was conceded that it was the one sura
means of putting an end to ruinous competi
tion as far as the present firms art: con
cerned, but the manufacturers were unwill
ing to make the surrender of their individu
ality, which this proposition required. The
officials of the United Glass Company were
there to urge its adoption, but they labored
with little enect on the conservative men -from
Pittsburg, wbo feared that it might .
get them into an everlasting tangle.
Then it was proposed that the remaining
manufacturers shonld come into the United
Company, taking stock in payment for their .
plants, but this was open to the .'.-.me objeo- ,5
tions A third plan seemed to meet wit: j
greater favor. That h si to organize a cen-
tral committee, to be chosen by ther associa
tion, and to place in its hands a fund with .
which it could buy up tbe stock of any man- r
ufacturer who might determine at any time j
to sell below the established market rate. ;
A PECULIAB PLAN.
The scheme proposed is that each member
ot the convention should agree to give this
committee the first chanceto buy his product
in case he found it necessary to sell below
rates in order to meet his weekly bills. The
committee would buy and pay for it, and
hold the glass to be disposed of as quickly
as opportunity offered at market rates. Thus
it was believed the dangerous competition
of the new factories in the natural gas belt
which have been started with insufficient
capitol could be got rid of.
But thi3 plan, too, had many serious1 diffi
culties, which could not be met at once.
Hence the adjournment until to-morrow.
The matter of tariff reduction will doubtless
be discussed before the convention ad-
jpurns, and some action may be taken to
prevent any alterations in the existing du
ties. THE CONCEENS ON HAND.

the proposed combination is not a trust.
They say they are merely trying to take
care ol their own interests by preventing
competition, which would make it impos
sible for them to be on a paying basis. They
say there will be no change in the present
price list-
MAKING CANNON TROUBLE.

rsfZCIAL TXXEGBAH TO THI DISPATCH.,
Tuscola, III., September 2. The efc
fects of the speech made in Congress on
Wednesday last by Congressman Cannon
and tbe disgraceful scene following,
have just begun to be felt through-
out his home district. Both
Republicans and Democrats alike c
him in strong langnage, and th.
break he has made will cost him m. ,
votes among the better class of people
who feel that the Fifteenth district has
been disgraced and humiliated by its rep
resentative. The outlook at present is
that he will lose every county in
his district but Vermillion and tba
maioritv in that will be ereatlv reduced..
General Busey, the opposition nominee, will ,i,j
get tne soldier vote, as he has a nne war
record, and being a farmer, be will also
command the votes of that class.
There are 14 Republican newspapers in
the district that reluse to support Cannon, 1 j
and they have a wide influence. Several A
leading Republicans in the district (M
